The Steamers Silver Noon and Bostona were char
tered to meet theStrader below the city. The Silver
Noon was off promptly and met the Strader about
five miles below the city. There was a fine band of
music aboard which disc0ursed most excelleutly.
As the boats neared each other an animating scene
occurred. There was music and cheering, waving
Of handkerehefs, and lively differentiation. There
were cheers for Ohio, tor Tennessee, for Kentucky
and for Indiana. The BostOna was behind time, and
the Strader and Silver Moon waited for her about
half an hour; when she hove in sight, her decks
were covered with peoples conspicuous among whom
were the Guthrie Greys. This crack company dis
played fun ranks as usual The Bostona also had
a band Of music, which gave the national airs with
fine effect
The three boats Were dashed abreast, and swept
up to the city, with tanners flying, bands playing
and the people in great enthusiasm
We found the guests in good condition, q little
overfed perhaps, but high toned as became the oc-
cason. They had passed the night comfortably on
the splendid and cOmmodious Strader, and found
abundance Of warm breakfast awaiting them The
best feeling prevailed The guests are OF order Of
men superior to those usually found On excursions;
and there was agreeable evidence on all hands of
the legitimacy and sincerity Of the affair. The fol-
lowing programme was read in the parlor Of the
Strader by Senator Holmes

Anecdote of the late Col. Preston.

| Many of our readers remember the stately
presence, the disnifed bearing and imposing
manner of Colonel William G. Preston, ol
South Carolina II was when all these quail
ities wets In their prime and Preston repre-
sented his State i'll the Senate of the United
States, that business or pleasure called him
to the West, and to take passage down the
/ Mississippi river. IN those flush times the
steamers swarmed with hosiers. greenhorns,
and gamblers, the latter politely designated
| sporting gentlemen, the term gambler or
'blackleg entailing on the speaker a pistol
| shot or wipe from bowie-knife.
! The boat was on the eve of departure, and
our Senator standing on deck and holding a
small mahogany box, was observing with
great interest and pleasure the busy scene on
the wharf, when an individual, luxuriatng in
a rather ornate style of dress, approached him,
and in sublucd tones demanded =
L say, old fcller, when are you going to
commence? p
Commence what, sir p asked the astonish-
ed Senator.
| 'pshaw, none of that CANNON with me-
The fact is, a few of us boys on board want
little fun, and we won't pile it on too strong
for you; SO come and open at once.
'Eeally, sir replied Preston, 4 am totally
at a loss to guess your n,ea:ing open *hht1'
| Open what Why the Bank, of course
Maybe, you think that our pile isn't large
enough to make it an object. But we're not
SO poor as all that, any how
| The Senator meditated gloomily, but all
was dark to him, he was plunged Ia a sea OF
dodbt, and he had never met any problem,
not even a political one. so hard to solve.
Perhaps broke in lis pertinacous friend
again, after considerable pause, perhaps
you will say directly that you are not sport
ing man.
4 certainly am nothing of the kind, sir,
rejoincd Preston, rather angrily; 'and can't
imagine what put the idea into your head
| Not sporting man. Whcw W! | never
heard of such piece of impudcnce. Well,
if you're not a sporting man, will you please
tell me why you carry the tools about with
you p and he pointed to the mahogany box
which he still carried.
| A light broke on Prestons mind.
'Phe mahogany box 7 he cried. 'Ah, yes.
ha, hal Very natural mistake, indeed, my
good sir very natural, indeed. Well, will
show you the contents
And laughing heartily, he opened the box
in question, which was in fact, his dressing
case, and displayed the usual parade of brush
cs, combs, razors. soap, ETC., which usually
| fill that article Of travelling comfort.
| Our friend looked at the case, then at Pres
ton again. Then lie hcave,l long sigh, and
then he pondered.
WELL he broke out at length, q did take
you to be sporting gentleman-l did; but
now see you are a barber, buff I'd known
it, hang mo if I'd had aspoke to You.
| And So savinu he yamOOsp1
Fancy the feelings of our honorable Sena-
tor, as he assumed these various characters in
| the eyes of an anxious stranger.

SWeetef far In Heaven.

| 1t was evening. We were seated alone al
the piano, breathing song Of beauty and o
joy and as our fingers glided gently up tho
silyery Keyed octaves, and the music, soul o
beauty gushed forth responsive to our touch
it seemed that nowhere in this glad earth
could there be hearts beating heavily--sc
light was our own. The last echo had died
away in the distance, and turning from the
instrument, our eyes rested Upon tile silsery
locks ana bending form of one whose coun-
tenance bespoke pure and noble heart
We had never before met, but he whispered
softly: while smile of beauty wreathed his
colorless lips:
Young maiden, twill be sweeter far il
Heaven
Oh, how these few simple words changed
the current of our thoughts; and when in
words of winning eloquence he spoke of the
comforts of our holy religion, and urged us to
concentrate our talents, our all, to the service
of our Maker, we thought no sacrifice too
great, if, like him, we, too, might see unfold
ed before our spirits vision, the glorics of the
Celestial City.
Weeks fled, and that old man, wearicd OF
earth, folded his arms and went to sleep
They laid him to rest, away in the church
yard, but we know that there was but the
sasket, that the spirit, no longer fettered,
was basking in the sunlight of the Saviour S
smile; and that his voice, no loi,ger tremu-
lous, mingled in the anthems Of tire Just
made perfect And when, at twilight hour,
we breathe song of golden time,. beautiful
indeed, through tic vista of the past comes
the remembrance of those joy inspiring
words - Twill be sweeter far in Heaven =

A Trade q Fortune.

If parents would consider the welfare and
happiness of their children. they would choose
the virtuous mechanic farmer or honest ira
der, as companions or helpmates instead OF
the rich, who. aside from their income, have
no means OF subsistence.
How often does this question arise, and
from religious parents, too, in choosing COM
panions and suitors for their daughters:
is he rich p If the daughter answers,
Yes he is rich, he is gentleman, neat in his
dress, and can live without work, the parents
are pleased.
Not many years ago, a Polish lady, ofple-
bian birth, but of exceeding beauty ard ac-
complishment, won the affections of a young
nobloman, who having her consent, solicited
her from her father in marriage, and was re-
fused. We may easily imagine the astonish-
mcnt of the nobleman.
Am not, said he, of sufficient rank to
aspire to your daughters hands ?
You are undoubtedly the best blood Of Po-
land
And my fortune and reputation are they
not
Your estate is magnificent, and your con-
duct, irreproachable.'
Then having your daughters consent
should except refusal"
This, SIR the father replied, is my only
e lid, and her happiness is the chief concern
of my life. All the possessions OF fortune are
precarious; what fortune gives, at her ca
prices she takes away. | see no security of
independence and comfortable living of wife
but one in word, am resolved that no
one shall be the husband of my daughter who
is not at the same time master of trade.
The nobleman bowed and retired silently.
A year or two afterward, the father was sit
ting at the door, and saw, approaching the
house, wagons laden with baskets and at the
head of the cavalcadc a person in the dress
of n basket maker. And who do you sup
pose it was? The former suitor of his daugh-
ter the nobleman had turned basket maker.
He was now master of trade, and brought
the wares made by his hands for inspection,
and certificate faom his employer, in testi-
mony of his skill.
The condition being fulfilled, no further oh
stacle was opposed to the marriage. But the
story is not yet done. The Revolution camej
fortunes wore scattered as chaF before the
four winds of heaven. Kings became beg
gars, some of them teachers and the noble
Pole supported his wife and her father in tho
imfrmitics of age by his basket-makirg in
dIstry.
