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 -vh^. A his place in the silent or dqaih. Journal. 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 Century. 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. Gov. Walker’s first appointment after assuming the duties of office vas that of Cnpt. Wm. E.

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.—■ The irreconcilable quarrel as to the Senatership between Delano, Schenek and .Wade on the one 1 side (though each for; himself,) and Sheridan, hacked by his brother and the War Department, on the pthcr, promises it Tweedy and per manent split among (the Radical rank and file. “When rogues fall out,” kc, The Conservatives have other advantages, among the fore most of which js, that they have a candidate whose platform is plain, simple and tlicpoint, It can be summed up and understood , in a twinkling.
