THE PARTING.
They have parted, met and spoken,
They have sighed and trembled, yet
Each too proud "for explanation,
Suffers anguish and regret.
She has taken from her finger .
The remembrance of his vow,
For the costly gems he gave her
Are as nothing to her now!
They have parted, and forever,
Less in anger than in pain ;
For the mvstic chain is broken—
They may never meet again;
She has drawn the cherished likeness
From her bosom’s belted zone,
And her farewell eyes are drinking
All the glory of his own.
They have parted, and now the vision
Of their sunny dream is o’er;
To the coming ot his footsteps
She may never listen more.
She has laid aside the token
Of his love that was her pride,
When he pressed her to his bosom
As his own, his promised bride.
They have parted. She has gathered
All her cherish’d presents there—
Jewels, rings and golden lockets,
With the interwov’n hair;
She’s returned them with his letters,
Blotted over with tears,
And the foolishness of moments
Leaves a blight upon their years.

A KISSING ADVENTURE.
Say what you will about it, I am readv
to swear that I never was kissed, as far as 1
remember, but once. But that.
It must be noted however, that buttei
thus cured requires to stand three weeks
or a month before it is used. If lfc J s . so ° n

blended with it, and sometimes the cool
ness of the nitre .will be perceived, which
totally disappears afterwards. The above
is worthy the attention of every dairy wo-
Once has not been forgotten, and if you
will heave your main yard aback 111 tell
you the story, though it won t do for me
to catch you laughing at it. It lacked only
a half an hour of midnight, I had been on
visit to one of my neighbors, and found
such agreeable company that the hours
passed by unnoticed—by me, at least; bu
finally got under way for my lodgings. 1 he
night was cool and nearly starless,- and the
wind blew fresh from the north; but it
did’nt hurry me much, for I sauntered a-
long whistling the familiar tune of Oh, no,
I never mention it. . .
Suddenly, while passing an aristocratic-
looking mansion, I saw a front window m
the second story softly raised, and a white
hand seemed to beckon me to approach.
Wondering who it could be, and what was
wanted, I darted through the front gate and
•was under the window.
‘‘Is that vou, Charley?” asked one of the
sweetest voices you ever dreamed of hear
ing- I was surprised—astonished as yo
may readily believe, considering
ng ly for me to ascend; but I fell back
aghast. However, I was spared the agony
of a refusal. I saw in an instant that the
lady was about to descend to the ground;
I saw her suspended between heaven and
earth. Oh ! how I wished that the ropes
might give way, so that I should have and
opportunity of catching her in my arms.
But they did not break, she fl reached terra
firma in safety.
And oh, joy! the instant she touched
the ground she threw her arms around my
neck and kissed me again and again.
Wasn’t I happy ? Of course I pressed her
to my bosom with a lover’s arder, and re
turned her kisses with more than com
pound interest.
‘Oh, I am so glad you have come,’ mur
mured the fair creature, in tones that filled
my heart with delight. ‘I have taken noth
ing but my jeweis and ready money, for I
have hopes that a reconciliation will be ef
fected. If not we will love and be happy
in a little world of our own.
‘Yes, we will,’ I replied in an emphatic
, manner, for I felt that she was all that mor
tal man could desire. I now really thought
that I had secured a bride; and then “jew
els,” “money” and “reconciliation,” rang
in my ears like a dinner bell in a one-eyed
tavern.
‘And let us hurry away before we are
discovered,’ said the lady, taking my arm
and leading the way. No doubt she
thought me backward, but to tell the truth,
I didn’t know where to direct my steps
Following the‘bent of her inclination,’we
passed rapidly up by the street.
‘Go ahead, my beauty, I’m yours till
death,’thought I. But a sad change soon
‘came o’er the spirit of our dream. Oui
rapid pace soon brought us to the gas-light
on the corner, and then, for the first time,
she caught a glimpse of my features. The
effect of the look was electrical. She dis-
engaged her arm from mine, recoiled a few
paces and murmured wildly.
‘Merciful heavens! You are not my
Charles!’
Her face was turned towards mine, and
never had I seen woman more beautiful.
Her eyes were as dark as the starless night
that enshrouded us, and expressive of her
gifted soul. While I was gazing upon her
1 heard some one in the direction of the
house we had just left whistling the same
tune I had been indulging in a few mo
ments previous. As 1 was about to make
some sage remark upon the singular coin
cidence, my fair companion darted away in
the direction of whistler No. 2. The whole
adventure seemed a mystery to me, and
there I stood’ wondering what would be
the next move. The cup of my bliss had
been overturned.
Five minutes might have passed, and
then the lady made her appearance, leaning
upon the arm of a noble* looking man of a-
bout mv own age. I w’as just about to ask
myself who could furnish us with pistols for
two and a coffin for one when the lady
took my hand, and looking archly up into
my face, she asked—
“Will you accompany us to the Kev
Mr. Smith’s residence; and see us married V
The truth flashed upon my mind in an
instant. The lady was the daughter
wealthy parents, and they were opposed to
her lover considering him too poor, as he
was a young merchant who had just setup
in business. He was forbidden the house
and as a natural consequence, the lovers
planned an elopement. She was to be ready
on a certain night, and he was to give no
tice of his whereabouts by whistling the
tune of “Oh,” no, I never,” &c.
Well, there was no law against my whis
tlino-, and at the appointed hour I happen-
to be near the ladv’s residence, and whis
tled my favorite tune, which chanced to be
the signal agreed upon by the lovers. It
was thus that she mistook me for her lover
whose name was Charles.
To make a long story short, I accompa
nied them to their place of destination, and
saw the lovers united in the holy bonds ot
matrimony. The rest of the night was pass
ed in rejoicing, and the next morning
called upon the lady’s parents—gradually
imparted the news to them, received their
forgiveness for the lovers—saw them
conciled—and agreeable to the vequest of
the newly married couple have made their
house my home ever since—but never sha

Settlement of
olina.
The following description of the settle
ment of South Carolina by the Huguenots,
was given by Rev. Dr. Humphrey, of Louis
ville,^before the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, (0. S.,) which assem
bled in Charleston on the 20th May ulti
mo;
Nearly
one hundred and sixty-seven
years ago, the revocation of the edict of
Nantz drove from the kingdom of France
more than five hundred thousand Hugue
nots. They fled to all the Protestant States
of Europe, to England, to the Cape of Good
Hope, and to the shores of the Western
Continent. Invited by the genial climate
of the South to the infant colony of Caroli
na, large numbers of these exiled people of
God found rest, some on the borders of the
Santee, and others on the banks of the
Cooper River. The latter company built
their house of worship in a little village a
few miles distant, called Charleston.
Thither, on the Lord’s day, they were borne
on the bosom of the river, by the gentle
flow of its waters, or the motion of the oar,
or the ebbing of the tide. In the.r forest
homes, and in their humbler sanctuary,
they wept for joy as the voice of their sup
plications and the melody of their songs,
rising upon the tranquil and fragrant air,
stood contrasted with the carnage and ter
ror from which they had fled. This is the
ancient Carolina. This too is Charleston^
Near us is the site of their first house of
prayer. Yonder is the Cooper Rivei.
There are the fields in which they set up
their dwellings and domestic altars. There
the rich and odorous vegetation of the early
summer repeats for us the life it lived for
them. Around us lies their dust, awaiting
the resurrection to meet their kindred dust,
as that too shall rise from the graves of mur
dered saints beyond the seas.
Here, in this presence, are their children
The blood which moistened the beautiful
alleys of Lenguedoc and Tours, which
stained the waters of every river, and the
pavements of every city, from the English
channel to the Mediterranean, now runs in
the veins of those with whom we woiship
God this morning. With what unanimity
these adhere to that aincient faith, a stran
ger may not presume to inquire. But they
are our witnesses this day, that faith, order
and worship, our church is identical with
their own ancestral church in its pure and
heroic day. Nor these alone; for here are
they also, whose fathers brought hither,
many generations ago, the living and fi uit-
bearing stock of Presbyterianism. Let these,
our own brethren, partakers with us of the
root and fatness of the olive tree, and let
believers of every name, and they who be
lieve not, discover in our proceeding and in
, no spirit of contention and uncharitable
ness or evil speaking. May they see noth
ing in this august council but a pious zeal
for the theology, the spirituability and the
extension of the church, and for the gloiy
of its eternal King.

A pamphlet of 96 pages, entitled “The
Life of Gen. Franklin Pierce, the Granite
Statesman; with a biographical sketch of
Hon. Wm. Rufus King, has been issued in
New-York bv Cornish, Lamport & Co. The
work, says the Boston Transcript, has been
rushed out to meet the popular inquiry,
“Who is Franklin Pierce ?” We quote a
couple of paragraphs as specimens of the
style: .
Frank Pierce lacks two inches of six feet.
He has a robust and vigorous frame, inu
red to fatigue, and capable of great endu
rance. He lives (just*as a man ought to
live, before ne is nominated for the Presi
dency of a great Republic,) in a small white
bouse, near Main street, in Concord. In
front of it is a yard.of beautiful green trees
and little flower-beds, purifying and re
freshing the air, and loading it with fra
grance. He is a man of moderate means,
as that expression is understood by the
American people. He has been so gener
ous through life that he has never laid up
much money. The Pierces generally, as a
family characteristic, never have amassed
or regarded money for their own purposes.
They have always been politicians, but they
have never used the public money except
for public purposes. None of them have
ever been rich; none of them have ever been
poor. Frank Pierce will spend every dollar
of his salary in keeping a hospitable house,
when he goes to Washington. There will
be no show, or parade or sham; but there
will be hearty cheer and cordial greeting to
all, as far as his time and means enable him
to g°- . 1
Such is his personal character, and such
are his personal habits. If these, with his
eminent qualities as a public man, and a
statesman, do not qualify him to adminis
ter the government at Washington with a-
bility and acceptance, we honestly confess
that do not know of a man who could. In
every State cf the Union, the Democrats,
and the lovers of their country, will rally to
his support. He will not only bring out
the entire democratic strength of the nation
History of A Steel Pen.
The history of a steel pen is among the
wonders of the present day; it is to us what
pin-making was to our ancestors a thing
to be wondered at. We have the ore
smelted and converted into iron, and the
same changed into steel; then it is rolled
into ordinary sheets, in which state it is re
ceived from Sheffield, when it is cut up into
strips, pickled to remove the scale, and re
duced also by rolls to the requisite thick
ness. In this condition it is passed into
the hands of a female, who is seated at a
small press, worked by hand, and who cuts
out with a single blow a thin flat piece of
steel, which is the future pen ; side slitting
and piercing then follows, which is also
performed- by hand-press, fittedup with
punched bolster; thereafter all the blands
in this condition are annealed in considera
ble quantities in a -mufle; stamping with
the maker’s name then follows; pressing
into the concave form is the next process,
and the operation of forming the barrel (if
a barrel pen) is now completed. Harden
ing-, an operation which requires no little
care and attention, is also performed by
h ating in a mufle, and when at a proper
heat they are immersed in oil; the oil is
then cleansed off them by agitating in a
cylinder, and scouring follows by the same
method, with the exception that pounded
crucibles and other cutting substances aie
introduced along with them, which in the
end produces on one and all a bright sur
face. The grinding on the point, &c., is
performed on andeinory wheel, and is ef
fected with great rapidity. In this state the
pens are passed to the “slitter, tv ho is pio-
vided with a pair of cutting tools, which are
fitted into a hand-press. Their accuracy in
fitting is such that a careful examination is
necessary to detect that they are not one.
The pen is rested upon the portion attached
to the bottom of the press, the handle turn
ed and the slit is made. The blue and
straw color with which the pens are orna
mented, is also produced by heat; the pens
are introduced in large quantities into a
cylinder which is made to revolve on a
charcoal stove, and the change of color is
An Arkansas Story*
About the year 1830, politics ran ter/
high in Arkansas. Col. A. H. Sevier was
a candidate for the office of delegate to Con
gress, and Ben Desha was his opponent.
Judge Andrew Scott was a warm friend
of Desha, and utterly hostile to Sevier. He
had a neighbor living about fifteen miles
from him, on the “far side of Gallery creek*
named Logan, commonly called “Stutter
ing Jim Logan,” who was exactly “wice wer-
sy” in his politics; and so frequent had
been their encounters, that the two neigh
bors had come cordially to hate each oth

Love of Flowers.—In all countries
m love flowers; in all countries they form*
m/segays of them; but it is only m the bo
som of plenty that they conceive the idea ot
embellishing their dwelling with them, lire
cultivation of flowers among the peasantry,
indicates a revolution in all their feelings. It
is a delicate pleasure, which makes its way
through coarse organs; it is a creature whose
eves are opened: it is the sense of the beau
tiful, a faculty of the soul which is awaken
ed; colors, forms, odors, are perceived for the
first time, and these charming objects have
at last s ectators. Those who have travel
led in the country can testify, that a rose-
tree under the window, a honey-suckle a-1
round the door of a cottage, are always a
crood omen to a weary traveller. The hand
that cultivates flowers is not closed against
the supplications of the poor, nor agams
the wants of the stranger. Flowers may
be called the alphabet of angels, wherewith
they write on hills and plains mysterious
truths. ^

“Professor” Barnes, a “medium” of the
“Spiritual” order, favors us with a “Super

unseen country as follows:
“Sir John Franklin is perfectly safe, and

Slaves and Coolies in Californio.
The Legislature of California adjourned
sine die on the 4th ult., apparently to the
great rejoicing of all parties.
The bill for submitting the question of a
Convention for amending the Constitution
of California to the people, was rejected m
the Senate by a vote of 11 to 9. Thus it
will be seen, the party in favor of the intro
duction of slavery in California, or the di
vision of the State, have been defeated by a
close vote. .
Before the adjournment, Governor Bigler
sent a special message to the Legislature, in
favor of a bill restricting the Chinese immi
gration, as a measure necessary to enhance
the prosperity and preserve the. tranqi^hty
of the State. The Governor objects especi
ally to the “Coolies,” who visit California
under contracts for a term of years, at the
expiration of which they return to their na
tive country, having never assumed the du
ties of citizenship, and exporting the huffs
of their labors. He argues that they do
not assume the habits of our people; that, in
a spirit of cupidity, they visit California for

of the 12th instant, tells the following thril
ling tale : . . . .
Last fall a woman residing in the vicini
ty of Worchester was picking blackberries
in a filed near her house, haviag with her
her only child, a bright-eyed little fellow of
less than a year old. The babe sat upon
One pleasant morning in the spring, when •
the sun shone out warmly, and all nature
was green and fresh after a heavy rain of
two or three days duration, Logan was
down from his house, through the little
strip of creek bottom, to the bank of the
creek, and sat himself down on a “lick log,”
musing, perhaps, as Colonel Jack McCar
thy once said—“on the evanethenthe of all
thublunary thingtb.”
The creek was about twenty yards wide,
and the rain had raised it, so that it was
swimming, covered with foam and running
like a mill race with a full head of water.
Where the road crossed, on the edge of
which Logan, was sitting, was the only ope
ning in the woods, which fringed the stream
on each side. Above and below the trees
leaned over, and their branches hung grace
fully in the water, and swung to and fro in
the swift current.
After Logan had sat tLere a little while,
Judge Scott came riding down the road on
the other side, halted when he reached
the water’s edge, and looked across without
saying anything, but looked as if he thought,
“Hang you, if it’s swimming, why don’t you
say?' 5 Logan took out his jack-knife, split
a piece off from the iickfog and commenced
whittling it, looking steadily across towards
Scott all the while.
Logan was a large, stout, heavy looking;
Scott small, wiry passionate, petulant, and
as brave as a bull dog.
After waiting a moment—for each bated
the other too much to speak—Scott tight
ened the reins and rode into the water. His
horse had not taken more than six steps,
before kerchug! he plunged in over head
and ears. In a moment more Scott was
washed from his back; the rider went one
way, the horse the other, and the saddle
bags a third. The horse- turned towards
the side, which he went in and got ashore
some little way below; the saddlebags float
ed down the stream, and Scott, managed to
reach Logan’s side of the creek, and caught
hold of the swinging limb of a sycamore
which dipped in the water.
“Help, Logan, help!” cried Scott. I
shall be drowned! Help!”

Just then the sycamore limb snapped,
