Love in Humble Life.

In East Boston recently, maiden wife
of less than twenty years Of age was borne
to the grave. Her husband and lover was
a young mechanic of twenty-three. They
had loved each. other from childhood, and
were to have been married six months ago,
when she was prostrated by consumption.
About a fortnight before her death, she
said she had only one earthly wish un-
gratified; she desired to be united TO him
who had loved her so long and truly, in
the hope of being his in heaven He
could deny her nothing-he married death
Bolstered up by pillows, and supported in
the embrace of her mother she was united
to her lover; her feeble voice was hardly
audible, in responding to the questions of
marriage ceremony. She was his, and she
said she could die without regret. From
then until she passed away, she was unable
to speak above whisper, but she appear
ed happy and though wasted to skin and
bone, pleasant smile left its impress on
her face, as her soul returned to God who
gave it. ,-.t ..-....5. .....

Seventeen Year LOcusts.

This is the year for the appearance of
these locusts. They have been seen in
sevral places. The Newark Advertiser, of
Tuesday says:
We were shown, yesterday, several spec
linens of the Cicada SepteEdecim, suppo-
sed by some to be the seventeen year To-
Gusts collected on the premises of John H.
Landell, in the western part Of the city,
These curious visitors are now perforating
the ground in multitudes, their holes be-
ing generally about half an inch in diam
eter and from four to eight inches deep.
A portion of those submitted to our in
spection were taken from the ground about
sixteen inches deep, and which had not
been disturbed by spade or plow for years.
They aIe found most numerous around the
roots of the cherry tree. Near the apple,
pear and peach trees, but few are found
and generally On the shady side. They
are well formed, and measure in manys-in-
stances, an inch and half in lenglh.-
Not many are found in deeply trenched
ground or where it is hard and firm, and
none are found around trees newly planted
Those found by Mr.. Landell were nestled
at the bottom of lamp of earth perfora-
ted with holes like a honeycomb.

Prentice's Opinion of Lincoln.

Prentice says he knows Lincoln, and
knows him to be an honest man, having
the good of his country at heart. This is
very well for man who supported anoth-
er ticket.-Syracuse Journal.
We did not say that we knew Mr.. Lin
coin to be an honest man, having the good
of his country at heart. We only said
that we believed it, and we do believed it.
Mr.. L. isa genial, delightful high toned
gentlemen, whose pleasant hospitality we
have enjoyed, and, although we think him
in great error in some of his political opin-
ions, we have as much confidence in his
patriotism as we have in that of any man
except ourselves-we being the only per-
son that we can know to be patriot.
If Lincoln and Douglas were the only
candidates in the pending contest, we
should no doubt decide to take no part be-
tween them; and yet we believe that Lin
coin is as much more honest and straight
forward politician and man than Douglas !;
that he would act as President with sim
cere regard for the purity of the Govern
ment and the welfare of the nation, and
that his Wilmot Provisoism bad and unen-
durable as it may be, is more manly and
direct and respectable than his opponents
Squatter Sovereigntyism, though but an
other road to the revolving goal.-Louis-
uile Journal.

Death in the streets OF China.

Upon several occasions, / saw life eb-
bing away like some wretched sufferer as
he lay at his post of mendieancy. One
old woman in particular attracted my at
tention. She used to lie motionless on n
mat in the center of the road, diseased
skeleton. She had just strength enough
to clutch at cash that was flung at her.
One day this strength seemed to have fail
ed her, looked closer and saw that she
was dead. A few hours afterwards l re-
passed, but her place knew her no more
she had been carried away and cast upon
a dung heap. I was riding on the out
skirts of the city one day, and saw a man
carrying another on his back. At first, l
thought the burthen was corpse, but as l
approached nearer, certain flexibility of
the city scavengers, who prowl the streets
for dying beggars, and when they find one
in whom life is almost extinct they bear
him off to some suburban Aceldams, and
fling him from their shoulders, a prema-
ture feast for crows and vultures.

Administration in that respect, by writing

committed to that line of policy that TO
abandon a, 1t would be to disgrace myself
; Ihis was source to me of very great pain,
because then saw that, unless was toler-
ated IN standing by that which I believed
to be right, difficulty with Mr.. Buchan-
ans Administration was inevitable In the
subsequent affair of Lecompton, which /
regarded as somewhat logical result of
the rejection of the frauds-that is the
opposition of Gov. Walker and Mr.. Stan
ton of the Lecompton policy of the Ad-
ministration-I was on their side; think
l may say that before Judge Douglas had
taken bis position publicly, my paper had
announced its course, and maintained it
steadily to the end. I came to Washing
ton very anxious to be on good terms with
Mr.. Buchanan. This, was, I think, after
the Post Office blanks had been disposed
Of; and l told him I had been committed
to this policy, and that it wac impossible
for me 10 change. He said he had chan
ged his course because certain Southern
States had threatened him if he did not
abandon Walker and Stanton they would
be compelled either to Secede from the
Union or take up arms against him. 1
told him that toleration was all we requi-
ed; he could maintain himselfin changing
his course, but I, single individual, could
not. l wanted to be permitted to differ
on this, sustaining every other part Of the
policy of his Administration, to which he
responded, No; that be intended to make
his policy Test in the Democratic party.
| said; "Mr. Bucanan, if that is the case
we shall have 10 defend ourselves in the
best way we can." Subsequent. to that we
had what conceive to be series of pro-
scriptions, such as no civilized country has
ever seen execised upon Independent men;
and l took Up arms in my State against
those prescriptions. This is about all 1
think pertinent to my relations with Mr..
Buchanan. The rest is public. Amy 9TH

From Pixies Peak.

We conyersed yesterday with Charles
Chamberlain, a young man formerly and
now again resident Of this city, who has
just returned from Pixies Peak. He went
out in March last with ]. D. Ward and
others Of this city.
He has passed the time of his stay in
that region in prospecting, and ns experi-
enees fully told, though certainly nothing
startling, would be instructive and of value
to all going thitherward. They confirm
fnlly what has often been written of thess
gold regions, that they are 10 place for men
of small means, who will only wear out
their money and their patience fruitlessly,
and see the lions share of everything fall
into the hands of capitalists and specnla-
tors. Unless man has money, Pixies
Peak is no place for him, and if be has, he
can get on, almost anywhere. The miners
are doing very little. Very much squartz
is being got out, but only about one-third
of it will pay for crushing.
When Mr.. Cbamberhn decided to return
to the States, seven other young men, BE-
longing in Indiana, joined him, and they
came through with double horse team
and wagon 10 Omaha City, where they
disposed of their conveyance.
Between Denver City and Fort Kearney
the party took the pains to count accurate
ly the teams they met. And on Mr..
Chamberlin's authority we give the num-
Der as fve thousand four hundred and
eighty-eight teams. They crossed the Plat
to at Fort Kemney and thence down the
north side of the Platte, meeting fifteen
hundred teams between Fort Kearney and
Omaha City.
At Omaha City the Express messenger
who came down on the south side of the
Platte told Mr.. Chamberlin that the road
"looked like village the whole way, from
the number Of teams"
These teams were attendad BY parties of
from four to ten persons each, and drawn
by from two to four pairs of horses or
oxen. This will give a striking and true
idea of the immenee emigration setting
toward the gold regions from the States.
In other words, on this evidence it seems
that from twenty to thirty Thousand per-
sons were thus met en- route beyond the
frontiers, bound for the same suriferous er-
rand and goal.
AT St. Joseph forty wagons were to
leave on Wednesday Of last week. Our
fellow townsman, ]. D. Ward has gene to
the head of the Arkansas. He will return
iu September. Those of his party that
returned will not try the gold regions
again. CHICAGO Press. So

Far echoing in the dim old woods
Over the prairie lands and floods,
hear the reverberating strokes,
That rive in rails the PROSTATE oaks.
The wood man stands, sun-crowned and tall
And wields with giant strength the maui
That drives the wedge at every blow,
Like Thor's hinge hammer, sure and slow.
And his hereulean arms will hew
The shadowing trees that hide the view
Of the grand white house frcm the West,
That all may see the eagles nest.
This woodsman is apioneer,
And he will cut pathway clear
From Illinois to Washington
Before his noble task is done.
Wo hear the thunder of his blows
Where the vast Mississippi flows
And echo unto echo calls
From granite hills and mountain walls.
The monarchs of the hills and wales
Are split into protec tive rails
To fence within its dark domains
The curse that comes with slarcs and chains
Fence out the wrong of power and place;
Fence in the rights of all the race;
Fence out the greedy hand that steals;
Fence in the noble heart that feels.
Fence out the tyrant and his sway
Fence in the hero of the day;
Fence out oppression, vice and crime;
Fence in the truth from Heaven sublime.

and the graves of his five sons and faithful
wife Ahloota too much to leave them for
the lands that are drained bv the tributa-
ries te the Pacific! We venerate old Tar
mala!

who went to the place three years ago,
when it contained but half dozen dwell
ings. He is row the owner of numerous
stores and houses, and lives in beautiful
Rhode Island cottage as neat and tidy as

time by the forelock. On our arrival at

bout trip through that State down to Rock
