He requested the darkey to leave, and
reached down-if to p;ci, rp club or
not l. don't know, but darkey took the
hint and moved off; and meeting Mr.. j.
Stetson. ne pushed his request il that
quarter, but was informed that his Ex-
cellency was engaged at present, and
would probably see him shortly. Sambo
was determined, however, and got hold
of two gentlemen who evidently espoused
his cause, and waited to see what would
turn up. It was but few moments be-
fore the President appeared, returning
from his up-the-beach walk, and rs he
entered the hotel, where he was at once
surrounded by half q dozen, who were
evidently waiting for him, he was point
ed out to our colored friend, who was at
once urged by the two gentlemen to go
up and present himself. Sambo moved
towards the company with an air of de-
termination, but his spirit failed him as
he reached the outer circle; he dare not
break the ring; and informed us after
wards that he was ''gwino to push froo,
but somehow or noder he frought it best
to wait n more fttin 'casion." We re-
grettcd the darkey's want of decision of
character, for we wished to see if Long
Branch would not, in few days after
the interview, have been able to boast of
having q colored postmaster This would
have been the most likely Office, us the
Postmaster General was Of the party.

A Sabbath Night.
BY GEORGE D. PRENTICE.

love this holy time The forest leaves
Beneath the noiseless dews are bending lew,
And family glowing in the starlight pale.
As if the visions that come DER their sleep,
Were of the Spirit land. The mountain pine
Has hushed its melancholy music now,
The weary winds are slumb' ring III the heav-
ems.
Or keeping sacred vigils on the cloud
Far glimmering in the sunset-allis is still,
Save that the distant waves are murmering
low,
Like a lost angel mourning his sad lot
Of exile from the blessed
It is sweet,
AT such an hour to wander out beneath
The eternal sky, to gaze into its depths,
To picture angel shapes on every star,
10 listen to the mystic songs that seem
To Faney's ear to wander down to earth
From the far gate of Eden, and to feel
The deep and gentle spirit that prevades
The blessed air sink like holy spell
Upon lifes troubled waters.
Hark! the bell
Tolls out the midnight hour! How glorious
And yet how lonely is the face of things
At this still hour of musing? Vale and hill,
And plain and stream, and lake, and ancient
wood,
Glow in the distance, and reli- ion rests,
Upon them like mantle o, | love,
On ewes like this, to kneei in solitude
At natures shrine. The gentle dews that
battle
Ny brow, seems Gods own baptism, and
each voice
That speaks in mystic eloquence from sky,
And air, and ocean, calls the soul
70 mingle with the holiness of heaven.

ARIZONA FACToRY.--This cot
ton factory is answering the an
ticipati0ns of its most sanguine
friends. The Claiborne Advocate
has the following:
We have received from the Clai-
borne Manufacturing Company q
full bolt of their cloth, q first class
specimen. We accept the com.
plimeut. not 80 much for the value
of the cloth as for being renem.
bered BY those whom we delight
to honor for their noble work of
building up the manufacturing in
terest Of our country. Claiborne
is today the banner parish OF the
State, and made so by such me"
as stand at the head of Arizona
Factory. The move at Arizona
walked up all North Louisiana, and
In the next two years factories
will spring up as if by magic; capi.

but the bulk OF of them we're far
| from it until these thinking men
ventured and proved their faith
by their works.

ing of which is his Journal, large blank
book, full of notes hustily written with
lead pencil at all times and places, aud
often under the most unfavorable cir

cord of many weary days of hardship
and suffering, aud accounts of moving
incidents by food and field, such as are
rarely to be met with. In order to pre-
vent the writing from being blurred, the
pages have been dipped in preparation
