MOTHER, HOME. AND HEAVEN-
The sounds that tall on mortal ear, ;
As dew dross pure at even;
That soothes the breast or start tho tear,
Are mother, home, and Heaven.
A mother —sweetest name on earth,
We lisp it on the knee,
And idolize its sacred worth
In manhood’s infancy.
A home—that paradise below,
Os sunshine aqd of flowers,
Where hallowed joys perennial flow
By calm, sequestered bowers.
And Heaven—that port of endless peace
Tho heaven of the soul,
When life's corroding cares shall cease,
Like sweeping waves to roll.
O! weep not then, though cruel time
The chain of love has riven ;
To link, in yonder clime,
Reunion shall bo given.
Oh, fall they not on mortal ear,
As dew drops pure at even,
To soothe the breast, or Start the tear,
A mother, home, and Heaven !
The Press —What is It?
The realm of the press is en
chanted ground. Sometimes the
editor has the happiness of know
ing that ho has .defended the right,
exposed thd, wrong, protected the
weak ; th&rap’haff given utterance
to a sentiment, that has cherished
somebody's solitary hour, made
somcbotlwihappiGr, kindled a smile
upon a sad face, vt hope in a hea
vy heart. He may meet with that
sentiment months, years after it
may have lost all traces of its pa
ternity, but he feels an affection
for it. He welcomes it as a long!
absent child. He reads it as fori
the first lime, and wonders if in-j
deed he wrote it, for he has cliang-j
ed since then. Perhaps hoycouid
not give utterance to the sentiment
now; perhaps bo wouldif He
could. It -corns like me vnicc-ol
his former self calling to ihejtrc
sent, and there is something motirn
ful in its tone. He begins to think,j
to remember —remember when
jwroteit, and why; who were his:
readers then, and whither they;
!have gone ; what he was then, and *
I how much ho has changed. So he,
muses, till he finds himself won-1
dering if that thought of liis will
continue to fioat. on after he is
dead, and whether he is really
looking upon something that will
sutvive him And then cotnes the
sweet consciousness that there is
nothing in the sentiment he could
wish had been unwritten; that it
is the better part of him—a shred
Irem the garment of immortality;
leave behind, when lie
wins tMM‘ innumerable cat avail,” j

THE CHARACTER OF JOHN C
CALHOUN.
Wo need not refer to the career
of Mr. Calhoun in public life, since
the history is not only on record,
but is ample. Politically, it may
be more necessary to state that
the popular error of the North,
which described him as a disunion
ist, was due (a£he machinations of
party, whichfHhdeed, might well
|have made Irm so. Mr. Calhoun
was one of the most conservative
of all our statesmen, and well
knew that the only way to avoid
disunion was to do justice, to suffer
no trespass upon the Constitution,
which was the only bond of union
between the high contracting par
ties. His doctrine of the State ve
to was one which he deduced logi
cally from the terms of the com
pact, not subversive of the consti
tution or the union, but eminently
conservative of both. The time:
will come when our country— the
storm passed, the strife attest —'
will do his political memory jus
tice. Os his mind and iilsquali-i
tics, we need, perhaps, to say as j
little. He was undoubtedly tie!
pro'onndest political metaphysi
cian that our country has ever pro
duced. Severe in his logic, his im
aginative power was singularly
vigorous, bold and rapid, like that
of the eagle, rushing, in straight
lines, to his conclusion and bis ob
ject, with all the clues of argument
'in his grasp. Ho lacked the col'
oring property of juney. But nav
!er was man more nobly endowed
] for colloquial discussion and unaf
fected eloquence. His wonderful
I powers in this field have ncve.r
I been questioned. With a leading
idea on all the topics natural to the
policies of’socicty; with a thorough
knowledge of society itself; a btu
dent of history, always in search
of the underlying influences which
lend to war or peace, prosporty or
adversity, he led his hearers on by
the irresistible charm, equally of
the suaviter in modo and ttio forti
ter in re. /lis knowledge, rarely
passing into pure literature, was
yet very great. He was a good
planter, good statistician ; utilita
rian in object, march and discove
ry, and, as an executivo officer,
without a competitor. The organ
zation of the United States War
Department, in his hands- was ut
terly unexampled before. —XI X

Washiiag'toii Irving's Ear-
I.V ATTACHMENT TO A BF.AUTIFUI,
Jewess.
A correspondent of the Jewish
Messenger gives anew explanation
of the reason why the late Wash
ington Irvin always remained a
bachelor. Speaking of Miss Re
becca Gratz, a Jewess of Philadel
phia, distinguished for her ze*l in
works of charity, who has just died
at the ripe age of 88, he says :
“Twenty years ago I hoard tho
story, a story that has long been
current in Philadelphia, in Jewish
circles, among her friends and ac
quaintances, and which has again
been revived here since her death
It runs thus : Many years ago,
when Miss Grata was a young girl,
Washington Irving then already
risen in literary reputation, catne
to Philadelphia nnd became a visi
tor at the house of her family. It
is said that in youth she was very
boaittiful and very good; and as
I her acquaintance with living in
j creased, tho l canty of both her
character and her features, togeth
|er with the fact that she was a liv
jing representative of that nation
1 whose whole history is 'finance, so
! -wrought upon lno heart that he bc
i came deeply enamored with Tier.—
lit is needless to say that had his
j attachment been ever so stfong, \
with her strength in her faith, it j
! would have been wasted. As it j
I was, it was wasted. Irving left the j
! city ; but lie did not forget the la- *
I <Jy of his love.”
i The w riter adds that Irving sub- |
! sequently mentioned to Sir Walter
Scott his intimate acquaintance ;
with tf.e beautiful Rebecca, of Phil
adelphia. Scott, it appears, was
writing, or about to write, “Ivan
hoe,” and upon the description of
the Jewess, so firm to her faith,
named his heroine Rebecca.
The Great Lessons.
The first great lesson a young
man should learn is, that ho knows
nothing. The earlier and more
thoroughly this lesson is learned
the better. A home bred youth,
growing up in the light of parental
admiration, with everything to fos
ter his vanity and self-esteem, is
surprised to find, and often unwill
ing to acknowledge, the superiority
of other people. But he is com
pelled to learn his own insignifi
cance—his airs arc ridiculed, his
blunders exposed, his wishes disre
garded, and he is made to cut a sor
ry figure, until his selfconceit is
abased, and he feels that he knows
nothing.
When a young man has thorough
ly comprehended the fact that he
knows nothing, and that intrinsi
cally he is but of little value, the
next lesson is that the world cares
nothing about him. He is the sub
ject of no man’s overwhelming ad
miration; neither petted by the one
sex nor envied by the other, lie
has to take care of hiin3clf. He
will not be noticed, till ho becomes
noticeable ; he will not become no
ticeable until he does something to
prove that he is some use to society.
No recommendations or introduc
tions will give him this; he must
do something to be recognized a
somebody. * <
The next lesson is that of pa
tience. A man must learn to wait,
as well as to work, and to he con
tent with those*means of advance
ment in life which ho rnay use with
integrity and honor, l’atienco is
one of the most difficult lessons to
learn. It is natural for the mind
to look to immediate results.
Let this, then, bo understood at
starting, that the patient conquest
of difficulties which rise in the reg
ular and legitimate channels of bus
inoss and enterprise is not only es-l
sential in securing the success
which a young man seeks in life,
but essential also to that prepara
tion of the mind requisite for tho
enjoyment of success, and for re
taining it when gained. It is the
general rule in the world, and in
all time, that unearned success is a,
curse.
jHitract.
Age 9 before the Royal Psalmist
lived, God had created this world.
Ages before that lie had presided;
at the birth of every separate star;!
and before the stars were in being,!
Ho was then, rejoicing in the beau
ty of Eternal thought. God was
there centuries before David's birth,
when the Pilgrim Fathers of his
raco had threaded the defiles of the
desert; and ages after David was in
his gravo, God would be ruling oth
er millions, watching them as lie
watched David.
lie was the Ancient of Days, in
whose eternal silence our noisy
years make no sound—the all-per* (
vading utiud in the sublimity of
whose eternity human toil does not
enter, and the shrill cry of human
suffering produces no ripple. lie
fills tho university of space.
He floats on the boundlessness of
time.
There is something in all of this
to kindle tho imagination ; but
nothing to satisfy the heart. Some
thing to solemnize the philosopher
—nothing to attract the tried' and
tempted man. “©, God!” is the
prayer which acknowledges the re
lation of God to the mighty of all
things ; “My God !” acknowledges
Ilis connection with tho individual.
Blessed is the man who has realized
this. Whoever else is homeless in
the universe, he has a home; who
ever else is friendless, he has a
“Friend that stieketh closer than a
; brother.”
t To whomsoever else, this world is
[a dry and barren place, and human
(friendships appear treacherous amt
Trail, for him light springs up in
the darkness. Whoever else goes
| solitary, he has his solitude peopled
j with a crowd. To whomsoever ex
! istonce is a burden, to him life is a
I joy. To whomsoever this earth
i seems mean and commonplace, to
! him it has become the houso of God
; —the gate of Heaven ; the very
! spot on which the dream ladder rests
j which has opened a communication
Tor him with the skies, by which
celostial visitants ascend and descend
with messages of meucy and loving
kindness.
Weeping 1 at Adam's Tomb.
In Judea there is a tomb which
the monks, who have in charge,
aver is the one in which Adurn, the
father and head of the hitman race
is buried. Mark Twain paid a vis
it to it during his Eastern travels,
and thus records his emotions at
the sacred spot:
The tomb of Adam ! How touch
ing it was, here in a land of stran
gers, far away from homo, and
friends, and all who cared for mo,
thus to discover the grave of a
blood relations. True, a distant
one, but still a relation. The uner
ring instinct of nature thrilled its
recognition. The fountain of my
filial affection was stirred to its pro
foundcst depths, and I gave way to
tumultutTus emotion. I leaned up
on a pillar an J burst into tears. I
deem it no shame to havo wept over
the gravo oLpiy poor dead relative.
Let him who would sneer at my
emotion close this volume here, for
he will find little to his taste in my
journeyings through Holy Land.
Noble old man—ho did not live to
sec me, he did live to see his child.
And I—T—alas, I did live to see
him. Weighed down by sorrow
md disappointment, he died before
I was born—six thousand brief sum
mers before I was born. But let
us try to bear it with fortitude.—
Let us trust that he is better off
where he is.

Pendleton :md Packer.
The news both from Pennsylva
nia nnd Ohio, is increasing every
day in favor of tho certain election
of the Democratic candidates for
Governor in their respective States.
The following piece of cheering
news is from tho correspondent of
the Baltimore Gaztlle :
“Gentlemen of both parties from
Ohio and Pcnrtsylvania speak in
confident terms of the election of
Pendleton and Packer. An influ
ential Radical from Philadelphia,
upon being questioned this morn
ing as to the probable effect of the
Democratic difficulties there, re
marked that schisms on the other
sido in the interior of the State
would far outweigh those of the
Conservatives in the city, were tho
latter referable to State politics,
which was not the case. He added
that a majority of three thousand
in Philadelphia w ould not carry the
State for the Radical candidate.—
Geary's unpopularity is a dead
weight of at least ten thousand
votes.
“From Ohio the accoiint« sreceiv
ed here are still more cheering.—■

candidate whose platform is plain,

summed up and understood , in a
twinkling. It presents an eternal
