SADNESS.
BY MBS S. A. FBATT, , .
1 love thee, gentle sadnessl
Thou’rt dear unto my heart;
I’ll ne’er forget thy teaching,
Nor bid thee hence depart,
Thou contest richly laden
From wisdom’s bounteous store; •
For the holy thought* thou' bringeat,
I’ll bless thee evermore 1
I love thee, genlles sndnfsat
Though thou dost ever cast
A shadow o’er my spirit—
Yet sumbenms follow.fast,
For God in heaven loveth ,
The heart that’s stricken here •,
I’ll bless the: gentle sadness,
For the penitential tear.
I love thee, gentle sadne s 1
Though thoa art near allied
To sorrow,grief acd anguish—
111 willing breast the tide,
For oh, thoa bringest treasure,
That spendeth not with years;
I bless the without measure,
For the luxury of tears.

I^’Tlie New York Journal of Com
nierce says that the mania in that city
for building splendid houses has abated.
The most elegant building in lhat city
cost $225,000. It names others that
cost 8150,000 anti 8! 00,000,- and it says
there arc a dozen of this sort—rivaling
in magnificence almost any of the royal
palaces of Europe. In one of these
houses, one apartment was fitted up at a
cost of $25,000 or 830,000. It was
time for such mt^iiia to abate.
Who Owns the Land.—We find
it stated in Howen’s Political Economy,
that the “ inequality in the distribution
of wealth in England is greater than
any other civilized nation,—Five noble
men, the Murquis of Breadnlbane,
the Dukes of Argyle, Athal, Souther
land and Buccleuch, own perhaps one
fourth of all Scotland. 2,000 proprie
tors possess among them one third of
the laud and total revenue of the three
kingdoms of England, Scotland and Ire
land. It is admitted that, up to 1848,
there were not more than 5,000 Scotch
and 3,000 Irish land owners; and good
reasons have been adduced for the opin
ion that there are ouly 46,000 who
should be classed as landed proprietors
in England. About 60;<J00 families-,
then, own all the territory which is oc
cupied by over twenty-seven millions of
inhabitants.”

The following story is told in Wash
ingtnn of Douglas - and Buchanan.
Douglas was sitting i-i a private parlor
at Guy’s National Hotel the other nighty
talking with a dozen of Buchanan’s
friends, when the latter, having been
sent for, came and joined the party.
My young friend,” said Buchanan, soon
afterwards, turning patronizingly to
Douglas, “let rre give y<.u a little ad
vice.” “Thank you!” instantly rfetorled
Douglas, seizing him by the hand; “I
expect to choose my constitutional ad
visers soon, and am most happy thus to
receive your acceptance in advance.”
Old Buck” was so confused by this
turn in the conversation that he forgot
the proffered advice altogether.
SHREWD WEIGHING.
A pedler in the Highlands of Scot
land having run short of butter, applied
to a farmer’s wife for a supply, “ How
much do you want?” said the woman.
“ A pun will do,” said the peddler
‘ Why ?”—“ I ha, na a pun weight ”—
1 Weel, what weight fia’ yet” said the
pedler. “ Two pun,” said the woman.—
“And which is the weight?” said the
man. “ Oh. it’s just the t ings,” (the
tongs). “ Well,” said he, “put aneleg
in the scales and t’other out and that’ll
be a pun.” The woman did as request
ed but, when it was weighed, she looked
doubtfully at the butter and said, “It
looks a large pun.”—“ It’s •’ right,
woman; how much is it?” said the
pedler, “ A saxpence," was tbe reply,
which the pedler paid, and hastily de
parted lest she should discover how she
had been cheated.

At a recent industrial exhibition of one
of tbe London societies, among the
other novelties was some curried leather
from the ikin of the, white porpoise.. A
report says “it seems to possess the es

to the skins of land animals; the price
is the same as that of the best calfskiq;

LETTElt FROM COL. JERE CLEMENS.
Huntsville, April 29,1856.
Dear Sir;—Your letter of the 25th
instant reached me to-day. I am in
the midst of hurried preparations fora
Ic journey and have not the time to
answer it as I wish. I am going to
Missouri and Illinois, and from thence to
New York and Washington ; from one
of the last-named places I will write you
at length.
In the meantime I sincerely hope you
will not commit yourself against the
Atnerica-t parly. I thought the nomi-
nationj at Philadelphia premature, and
have not been surprised at the expres
sion of dissatisfac-tiou it called forth;
still I do not see how a remedy can be
applied that will not be won-e than the
evil. I try to look at it practically. The
three prominent candidates of the-Anti-
Americans are Buchanan, Douglas and
Pierce. Buchanan is more deeply at
tached to the protective principle than
Fillmore. Dougins is fully committed
to the river, harbor and road appropri
ations, and Pierce is committed to every
thing, and will prove . Upe to nothing.
Neither of the three conies up to my
standard of what a Democrat ought to
be. Neither can be trasted, by the South,
an hour after they have secured . our
votes. AH of them mil be certain to
favor measures from which the North
will reap the benefits while we pay the
taxes, and all of them will be certain to
stab us while professing the most pro-
