JOHN ADAMS CoyKTsu1p.-The Boston.

JOHN ADAMS CouRTsH1P.-The Boston
Transcript says; A correspondent sends
US the following interesting reminiscence ::
"Johh Adams sought the hand OF the
daughter of the Rev. Mr.. Smith, Of
Weymouth, and Miss Abigail was pleased
to accept the proposal Of Mr.. Adams,
much to the ohagrin Of the parson, the
objection being tina. Adams was men Of
humble origin and moderate ability. and
could never aspire to anything more than
the position Of an humble village lawyer.
His visits to hcs home were frequent and
prolonged, bus 10 hospitalities were ten.
dered by the Rev. Smith, either to Ad-
ans or his nag; for while Abigail only
had wstshfsl care over him, bis bay
passed the weary hours of night in feed
ing on the hitehing-post.
Now Abigail had sister whose name
was Mary, who was betrothed to wesl.
thier and it was believed more promising
young man. whose presence was welcomed
most cordially by the reverend's family.
The good parson had promised each Of
his daughters that on the occasion Of her
marriage he would preach 4 sermon from
text Of the brides own selection. Mary
6rst married, and beautifully appropriate
did the father think the text: And Mary
hath chosen that good part In due
time Abigail marrics. and chooses for her
text, For John came neither eating nor
driSking. and they say, be hath DEVIL
Tradition does not tell US. as wo semem,
ber, how the text pleased the father, but
the sermon was preached. Mary, indeed
chose good part; her life was happy
one, and her husband was man of mesns
aud respectabiiity. Abigail was woman
Of strong affections, practical wife, and
possessed Of great nobility OF character.
while the names of her husband and son
will live as long as the love ot liberty ia-
spires the soul Of man."

Growing Old.

Touch US, oh. Time! with light hand as you pass
Tempt Us to think 1t q loving caress;
Tread on Our hearts, too: with reverent care
Crush not the flowers Of life blooming there;
Furrow our foreheads with care il you will,
But let youth linLsr within our hearts still.
Mid our dark trcsses are fibcrs Of gray
Silent reminders Of lite's neeting day;
And when we turn to the shadowy past,
On its bright alters lay ashes and dust;
All its fair idols are marked with decay
All its sweet pictures are faded away.
Sadly you look for the friends Of the past
They Of strong hearts and beautiful trust;
Some We find s,esping beneath sculptured stone
Some toiling YEARLY onward alone;
Some thro' ambition grown heartless and cold,
But and all, save the dead, growing old.
Oft we grow weary ia Watching in vain,
Ore hopes that always but shadows remain:
Weary Of counting the joys that have died;
Weary of laying bright visions aside;
Weary, SO weary, Of hearts growing old.
Chase from us. Time, all shadowy fears;
Lift from our lives the slow burden of years;
shadow our foreheads and silver our hair.
But Oh shield our hearts from the furrows Of care
Let not the heart ere grow selfish or cold,
And we shall no longer fear to grow old.

The Future OF The slave.

The Detroit Free Press, in an editorial dis
cussing the attitude of the North and the
South toward the slave, thus predicts his
future:
fore the war, it was Paradise to his pros
poets now. There is absolutely no hope for
him but lingering death more terrible and
heartrending than that of the Poor Indian.
1t is not within the power of human legis-
lation to place the slave upon an equality
with the whites In this country. He may
be declared free, the right to acquire and
hold property may be conceded, the right
to vote and hold office may be granted by
the law, but all to no purpose, for the An
glo Saxon race will never place itself on an
equality with the negro race In this coun-

'DRUID," the famous Baltimore cores
pondent who has undertaken, from time to
time, to give the proposed movements OF
Rebels, in late letter states that two block
ade running vessels, from Nassau had ar
rived at Galveston, Texas, principally laden
with rifles made in and shipped from Eng
land, and now that Wilmington is closed to
foreign commerce, Galveston will be used
by the Confederates for that purpose
From the information he has been able to
obtain, he ventures the opinion that the
Confederate Government is either looking
forward for long war ahead, or that they
intend to increase their present armies very
largely. ~ M ai !.

IT is pretty difficult to tell whether the
Richmond Press or the Abolition Press is
the more savagely warlike. The Richmond
Examiners declaration, that ''the real busi-
ness Of the country is for the present War,
and not Peace" is indorsed by all Of them.
If the wishes of these fellows are to pre-
vail, there is a delightful time in store for
the poor men, who will have to do the
fighting, and for the taxpayers, who will
have to pay the expenses. m
