A Reminiscence.

During the Administration of President Jackson there was a slngui. T young gem man employed in the pubic service at Washington. His name was G.; he was from Tennessee, the son ot widow, the neighbor of the President, on which ac- count the old hero had kind feeling for hun. and always got him out ot hls dir faculties with some of the high officials, ot whom bls singular lnlerferences were dls- tasteful Wts
 Among other things il is sand of him, that while he was employed in the Gen era Post Office, on one occasion he had to copy Ieller of Major H., a hlgh off, cer, ln answer to an application made by an old gentleman Of Virginia or Penn syIvana, for the establishment of new Post Office The writer of the letter often used classical language; m tlls let Ter ne said the application could not be granled, ln consequence ol the appli- canl's proxmty' 10 another office, When the leler came into G.'s hands to copy, being a great stlckler for plalnness, he altered " proxnnity" to '' nearness to, :" Major H. observed II and asked G why he altered hls leuer! Why, replied c.
 because 1 don't think lhe man would un- derstand what you meant by proxlmI,y
 Well, said Major H., try hm: put in the proximity agaIn. In d few days let ter was recelved from the applicant, in winch he indlgnan y said: That hls father had fought for liberty in the first, and he himself in the second war of ill., dependence, and he would like to have the name of the scoundrel who brought the charge of proximity or anything else wrong, agalnsl himl There" sad G :" did l not say so?" G. carried his improvement so far, that al last MT Bar ", the Postmaster General, said to hIm: II do not want you here any longer you know too much." Poor G. went out, but his old friend. the General, agaln got him into another place. This time G.,s ideas underwent a change. He was one day very busy writing, when a stranger calling m, asked hm where the Patent Office was. II don't know" said C.. "Can you tell me where the Treasure Department IS l' said the stauger No" sad G '' Nor the Presidents House2 :" [" No" The stranger finally asked him 1 if he knew where the Capslol was

ton of the non.intervsntlon policy!
 The Tribune qualities lis admission oi a pro- slavery triumph m New Meyico hy the significant reservation provided we adni, the right of the Territorial Legisla- iure" to enact a code in support of the
 institution When we recollect !, Is a fundamental theory of the Black Repuh lcan party that the jurisdiction Of Con- gress is omnipotent over the Territories, the point of this covert suggestion will be al once apparent. To repel the South from it's vantage ground in New Mexco, the ant-slavery leaders intend to invoke the interpretation of the Federal govern ment. If they fail to procure renun- citation of the principle of popula' sosefr eighty, they may at least compel the South either to justify or to abandon the policy of Congressional non-interventIon. In the event Seward shall introduce a bill for the repeal of the slave code in New Mexico, the Representatives of the South will have no alternative but to admit the supremacy of Congress over the Terrto- res. or else to make stand upon the principle of non-lntervention.
 If they adopt the first proposition they will give the Black Republican party an
 issue which will insure It's success in 1860, for then the issue will be purely and sIm- ply slavery extension or slavery resrlc. ton. And Black Republican ascen- dency in the federal administration will involve a return to the polcy of the WH. mot provlso. If, on the contrary, the Representatives of the South determine to adhere to the principle of non-interven- ton, they will present an issue upon which they will be sustained by the American people, and will so be enabled to consol- date their conquest in New Mexlco. Which is the wiser policy F. The States

Live Bravely.

The world is half darkened with croakers, Whose burdens are weighing them down: They croak of their stars and ill-usage,
 And grope in the dark for a crown. Why talk to the wind of hy fortune,
 Or clutch at distinction and gold m If thou cans't not reach high on the ladder Thou cans't steady it's base by thy hold. For the flower, though hid in the corner,
 Will as faultessly finish its bloom; e Will reach for sparkle of sunshine
 That clouds have not chanced to consume. And would thou be less than flower
 With thought, and brain, and hand? Will wait for the dribbles of fortune lA When there's something that these may com
 mand? There is food to be won from the furrow,
 And forests that wait to be hewn- There's marble untouched by the chisel, s' Days that break not on the forehead of June Will you let the blow rust in the furrow-- Unbuilded house or a hall? e3 Nor bid the stones wake from their silence, And fret as if fretting were all Go learn from the blossoms and ant-hill, 0s There's something your labor must give, Like the beacon that pierces the tempest,
 Strike the clod from thy path and live. Live--not trail with thy face in the dross heap In the track of the brainless and proud Lift the cerements away from thy manhood, Thou'rt robbing the dead of a shroud, There are words and pens to be wielded,
 There are thoughts that would die if unsald Would'st thou saunter away amid roses,
 Or sepulchre dreams that are dead? No! drag the hope to the pyre,
 Dreams dead from the ashes rise, Look not down on the earth for it's shadow, There is sunlight for thee in the skies.
