Hartford, Feb. 20, IStiO.
My Dear Sir: I thank you earnestly for the
letter of the last survivor of that patriot band, who
nobly matched from the Ancient Dominion to the
aid of Massachusetts in 1775. It is indeed very
kind of you to send me such a precious gift, which
shall be preserved with my most treasured auto
graphs.
1 recollect no incident in our Revolutionary
history more graphic in its character than that
with which you have so eloquently closed your
speech on the 25th ult. The poem mentioned in
your note is entirely at your disposal, and I am
yours with great respect.

Representatives.
An Incident of 1176.
A gathering in Virginia’s vales,
Mid summer’s velvet green,
Where fair Potomac sparkling Hows
Its fringed banks between ;
For echoes from New England's hills
Os strife and danger came,
And Hf.sry’s eloquence had stirr’d
Men’s souls like living flame.
Then from the throng, with patriot zeal,
Stood forth a noble band,
Twice sixty dauntless volunteers
Enlisted heart and hand ;
Their’s was no prompting thirst of fame,
Os glittering gold no greed,
“For Massachusetts!” was the cry,
“ For Bosto.n !” in their need.
And each to each a sacred vow
Made mid the parting pain,
When fifty years away had sped
To seek that spot again :
Those that the shaft of death might spare,
Beneath yon oak tree’s shade,
Should meet beside the diamond spring—
Hucli solemn tryste they made.
Oh. there was sorrow ’neath the roof
Os many a household tent,
Aud burning tears fell thick and fast
When from their homes they went:
But to their little oues they said,
And bade them well take heed,
“ Heaven wili. not smile on those who fail
To HELP THEIR IIIiOTIIKRs’ NEED.”
Hundreds of miles o'er rock and stone,
Through forests’ thorny breast,
O’er bridgeless streams, o’er trackless wilds,
With patient toil they prest,
While ever iu their secret soul
(Beamed an uufaltering creed,
Like pole-star of their weary course,
“To HELP OUR BROTHERS’ NEED.”
The king of men oppress'd with case,
Rode forth at (dosing day,
Anw saw Virginia's armed hosto
Appoaching in firm array,
And new the bearing of their chief,
Who on the fatal plain,
Had fought with him by Braddock’s side,
When blood fell down like rain.
Then leaping from his lofty steed,
lie clasped him to his breast,
And one by one each soldier’s hand
With greeting fervor prest,
Why was the eve of Washington
Suffused with gushing tear?
Why heav’d that hero’s heart so high
That never throbb’d with fear?
He read God’s blessing him the love
Os that fraternal band ;
Re mark’d the triumph through the gloom
That wrapp’d an infant land ;
Perchance, with his prophetic glance
Who erst on Nebo stood,
Behold a glorious realm nnfohl
Like rainbow o’er the flood.
Years roll'd away and lustrums fled,
And half a century closed
Its cycle, and, with swanlike dirge,
Mid ages past reposed ;
But true to their remembered tryste,
Potomac's vetrans drew
Where by the oak tree’s gnarled roots,
The spring fresh crystals threw.
They came—but not twice sixty men,
In marshal vigor bold’
For sqrae their bleaching bones had laid
fin Northern hillocks cold.
They came. Who CAME? Three aged forms,
By time aud changes bow’d ;
Yet was no winter in their heart,
Though snows their temple shrowd.
For power and wealth and honor blest
The country of their birth,
Who proudly reared her starry crest,
Among the Queens of Earth:
And warmlv rose her patriot prayer
That long her sacred Ark,
Immaculate and angel-steered,
Might ride the billows dark. L. H. S.

The Love of Seliiller.
The curtain of the Mauuheim theatre had slow
ly fallen ou the last scene of C'abalc and Liebe. It
had been a first representation. And now from
every part of the vast play-house rose a rapture of
applause such as those old walls had never re
echoed before. There was a momentary hush
when the favorite actor, ltfland, leading the Louise
of the play, answered the eql( of the excited audi
ence ; but as he and (he young girl, haviug bent
in grateful acknowledgement, were about to disap
>ear, the enthusiasm of the people again burst
iortb, and eager voices were heard demanding,
“ The name—the name of the author!”
lfliand spoke not, but remained motionless, point
ing with a slight but significant gesture to a pri
vate box near the stage, where a slender youth,
with bright curls swept back from a brow of won
drous depth and power, stood alone, his arms fold
ed on his breast, and his lips wearing the smile of
One uuder the spell ol dome enchanting dream.
“Schiller ! Es lebe Friedrich Schiller /”
The cry originated w ith a knot of students in
the gray uniform of the Duke Karl’s Academy at
Stullgard; they had recognised, in the solitary oc
cupant of the private box, their old comrade, Fred
eric Schiller, aud with a joyous impulse they shout
ed his name aloud. In an instant a thousand
voices were repeating, “A* lebe, e lebe— long live
Frederic Schiller.”
Iu one of the Court boxes, overlooking that of
the youtig poet, sat the Lady of I.engefield, with
her “two tair daughters, Caroline and Charlotte.—
The mother and elder daughter were magnificent
ly arrayed according to the fashion of the lime,
but the girlish Charlotte, of scarce seventeen sum
mers, was attired with the studied simplicity deem
ed appropriate to a maiden who had not yet pass
ed the threshold of the gay world. Her robe of
pale azure, though it enhanced the pure beauty
of lier complexion, was of unpretending texture,
and the dainty throat and rounded arms knew no
other ornament than their own fairness. Her dark
hair was gathered in a rich knot et the back of
her beautiful bead, disclosing the sweet clear lines
of her perfect profile. Her eyes were dark and
fine—they were shining now with the fire of youth
ful enthusiasm, as bend'ng forward, with a quick,
impulsive movement, she swept aside the crimson
hanging in whose shade —seeing yet unseen—she
had sat, during the play, and looked, for the first
time, on the idol of the hour. And in him she un
consciously beheld her destiny !
And Schiller!
Forgotten now were all those weary years of ex
ile from his dear Suabiou laud, when the boy poet’s
heart poured itself out iu that burning prayer :
“In thine arms I cast myself. 0 German father
land! Take him up who resigns for thee all the
joys of love aud home — take him up into thy great
heart! And if thou cans’- not —if lam poweiless
to acccomplish the gitat woik belore me—grtnt
me, fatheiland, the glorious boon, un early death
ui thy service, and deign to write ou my lowly
tomb—He dreamed of the true, of the excellent,
aud we bless him for his dream !”
The weary past forgotten, one thought of abid
ing joy entered Schillei’s soul, and moved him to
glad tears in that hour of triumph—“ The father
land has heard my prayer! —uud nan bin icA tin
DicitoKK !” uud now I am a poet.
Three years had elapsed since the first represen
tation of Cabal and Lore —three years of brilliant
success and honorable fame when Schiller found
a home and genial companionship iu the genius
fostering capital of Weimar.
One summer evening, as he was returning front a
pleasant excursion with Wilhelm dc Wolzogen, one
of his college friends, the latter entreated Schiller
to pass the uight with him at the castle ot his
aunt, near RudoUtandt, a picturesque and charm
ing old town ou the river Swale, along whose banks
the friends were then riding.
“ The lady of Lengefeld will give you a cordial
welcome, and as lor my sweet cousins, Caroline
and Charlotte, I fancy they have not yet forgot
ten Frederic Schiller,” urged the impulsive Wil
helm.
“ What are you saying, my dear, wild Wilhelm?”
cried Schiller. “ Not forgotten me! Why, I have
never had the happiness of meeting your fair re
latives,” he added, while a slight smile played over
the usually grave features.
“It is true that, you have never met them, but
they have seen you. Do you remember the first
night of Cabal and Love ? They were present at
that representation, and beheld you in all the glo
ry of your first public triumph. But, Uebnr
Freund ,” continued Wilhelm, after a pause, and
speaking with much hesitation, “ I will be frank
with you. I have a personal reason for wishiugto
pass a few more hours within those walls. From
early boyhood my love for Caroline de Lengefeld
has been the cherished secret of my heart. It has
been unavowed, because hopeless, for she has been
affianced from infancy to one more favored ot for
tune —her father’s choice ; and, in dying, he bound
the devoted girl to the fulfillment of his contract
by a solemn promise. She will soon be lost tome
forever. Y'ou know that my regiment is ordered
abroad in a few days. I will never more return to
the fatherland. But I must see my treasure once
more—clasp the hand I would die to win, again in
mine—hear again that voice of music—look again
into those eyes of blue ! 0 Schiller, Schiller! you
have called me wild even volatile! I talk much,
it is true, generally with a reckless gaiety strongly
at variance with my real feelings! Alas! the dull,
heavy pain at my heart is like some hidden dis
ease, which the sufferer bears in silence from the
eonciousness that there is no remedy—”
“aft rmtr Freund —liebur Wilhelm!” exclaimed
Schiller; “there is then no real happiness in this
world! I had thought that vour heart, at least,
had known no clouds ! My Wilhelm there have
been hours when I could have envied your guv and
reckless mien, little dreaming that it was a mask
beneath whose smiles was concealed this bitter
sorrow!” And the poet pressed the hand of his
friend in his own with a glance of sympathy deep
er an truer than any words, and full of consola
tion.
They had reached the brow of one of the hills
overhanging the beautiful river, when they per
ceived three ladies slowly approaching the spot by
the gentle ascent of the other side.
“ See, the ladies of Leugefeid!” hastily fell from
Wilhelm’s lips, with a sudden return to his former
gaiety of mauner, he sprang from his horse, and,
as Schiller followed his example, gave a brief charge
to his groom, consigning the steeds to his care.
“We will join their evening walk,” exclaimed
Wilhelm. “See, they look up—they smile ; is she
not lovely 1”
“A* mi angel!” exclaimed Schiller, in the low
tones of suppressed enthusiasm ; but his friend w as
too much absorbed iu that vision of sunny ringlets
and nxure eyes to mark that the poet’s glance res
ted on the dark-haired Charlotte us he replied to
his eager question.
In a few moments the friends met, and Wilhelm,
after receiving a right cousinly greeting, presented
his companion to the lady of Lengefeld, who wel
comed him with stately grace, and presented him
in turn to her daughters.
The two girls formed an exquisite picture as they
stood together in their light, flowing summer robes,
the soft breeze rippling the fair curls of the elder,
and lifting the dark, wavy tresses from the pure,
pale cheek and lovely thoughtful brow of the
younger—“sweet pensive Charlotte,” whom a poet’s
love has immortalized.
“We were going, my dear Wilhelm, to watch
the sunset from under the old linden on the hill,”
said the lady with a smile; then turning to Schil
ler, while a pleasant laugh beamed from her still
fine eyes, she continued, “I am happy in thinking
that you will look on my favorite view at this poet
ic hour.” And accepting the arm of the young
poet, she led the way to the rustic seat under the
linden, while her children followed with the cousin
Wilhelm.
It teas u, Iqvejy scope. The sun had just disap
peared beyond the distant mountains, leaving in
his wake a train of rosy, golden-edged clouds,
which seemed to color the soft summer air with
their own bright hues. Far across the valley,
through which the winding river pursued its course
of light and shadow, rose the grey towers of Lenge
feld above dark green branches of the ancient
Wahl, while from the Gothic steeple of the old
chapel near by rang out the eveuing chimes—plain
tive, soothing chimes, that softened each heart to
a tender sadness as their music melted into the in
fluence of the hour.
The friends lingered beneath the linden until
the sweet light of the summer moou flooded the
valley, when the lady silently rose, reminding her
young companions of the hour; and then, adding
a few courteous words expressive of the happiness
with which site would welcome her nephew’s poet
friend to Lengefeld, turned her steps homeward.
In less than half an hour the party stood in the
great hall of the castle, and a little later they were
all seated at its hospitable board, partaking of the
evening meal.
After the repast was finished, and they were
again in the spacious hall, Wilhelm prevailed on
the gentle Charlotte to seat herself at the harp,
which stood in the embrasure of a lofty window,
through which a shower of moonlight fell in brok
en waves over the silver strings. Her voice was
firm and sweet, aud Schiller, has compared her
playing to
“A lyre-sound from the paradise afar,
A harp note trembling from some gracious star.”
Tiiat eveuing, with its charms of music and con
versation, was the opening chapter of a little ro
mance in the lives of these two gifted and noble
beings—a romance which a few months converted
into a beautiful reality, whose blessing crowned
them down to their latest hour.
The next morning saw the young men on their
w-ay to the capital, from whence Wilhelm departed
with his regiment, and Schiller found himself again
alone. But he did not forget the fair cadette of
Lengefeld, and it was with a strange, yet joyous
thrill, that soerned like a premonition of the happy
influence she would exert on his future that Schil
ler heard of Charlotte’s arrival in Weimar. She
had come to pass the gay season with a relative,
Madame de Stsin, an enthusiastic friend of Schiller.
At the house of this lady, the young poet resumed
the acquaintance with the lovely girl, which soon
ripened into a love pure and elevated, as it was
all absorbing.
It was a gala night at the palace of the Grand
Duchess Amelia. The brilliant suite of apartments
leading from the grand 1 aloon in which Amelia,[sur
rounded by her ladies, stood to receive her guests,
was tilled with jeweled women of every age, with
their cavaliers, nnd in the dancing hall the music
of a chosen band gave out its glad invitation.—
Here Charlotte, who was accompanied by the Ba
ron and Madame de Stein, was joined by Schiller,
who claimed her hand for the next dance, after
which they sought her friends in the conversatien
rooms. On their wav, Charlotte told Schiller that
her mother had sent her carriage to Madame de
Stein’s that afternoon, desiring her to return home
the following morning.
“ The time of my visit has expired,” added the
lovely girl; “I will be very happy to see dear old
Lengefeld again.”
“But do you leave us without regret? Sieeet
f r i,„d ,”
Schiller’s heart could no longer wear a mask—
its deep love found expression in eloquent, passion
ate words, that called up an answering echo in
that of the sweet creature at hia aide. Long years
afterward, when Lolo, as he loved to call her, was
i his cherished a ite, Schiller read her these lines,
, written on quitting her that happy night:
“What then I felt, what breathed, my memory hence
From that wild moment would in vsm invoke —
It wa* the life of some discovered senw
That in th? heart’* divine emotion spoke ;
Long year* imprisoned, and escaping thence
From every chain the soui enchanted broke.
And found a music in it* own deep core,
Its holiest, deepest deep, unguessed before.
“ Like melody long hushed, and lost In space,
Back to its home the breathing spirit came ;
I looked, and saw upon that angel face
The fair love circled with the modest shame ;
I heard (and heaven descends on the place,)
Low-whispered words a charmed truth proclaim—
Save in the choral hymns, O spirit-shore,
Ne’er may I hear such thrilling sweetne** more!”
The following summer found the poet again at
RuUolstodt, and “iu February, 1790, after a cor
respondence of many months, Charlotte became
his wile.” A few years after the marriage of Schil
ler, Caroline de Lengefeld lost her aged husband,
whereupon Wilhelm de Wolzogen returned from
abroad, and in time received the reward of his
generous devoliou.

The K. G. C.
The movement of the new organization of K. G.
C.’s is now attracting a great deal of attention.
Those at the head of it have so acted as to nega
tive the idea of any unlawful proceeding, or exhi
bition. Its chief end and aim is to secure, outside
of our own territorial limits, an abiding place for
Southern Institutions ; and to accomplish this, to
aid the constitutional party in Mexico in obtaining
a permanent and liberal government in that coun
try, with the privilege to Americans of settling
there. We do not profess to know more of the
designs ol the association than our lellow-cilizens,
but putting together all we have seen and heard,
our deductions are as above. The same view is
taken by the New Orleaus Courier, which in its
issue of tHh inst., remarks : “We observe a call
lor the K. G. C. s to meet at the hall over the Car
rollton Railroad Depot, this evening at 7 o’clock.
In conjunction with this call, we observe that
many of the leading members of this organization
are now iu our city. Gen. Bickley, the Comman
der-in-chief, Col. Temple and Surgeon Semple, are
at the St. Louis Hotel ; Gen. Greer, who is well
known as one of our bravest Volunteer Colonels
from Mississippi during the recent war, and who
now commands a division of the K. G. C., together
with Maj. Richardson, one of his staff-oflicers, and
Col. 11. C. Y ouitg, oi Memphis, who commands
the First Tennessee Regiment, are at the Citv Ho
tel ; while others, as Captain Scott aud Lieut.
Breese, are at the Merchants’; Captain Gay, the
wagon-master, is at the “ Texas Home and still
many others of note and character, are at the St.
Charles, or quartered with private friends in the
city.
Besides, there are hundreds of our citizens in
hourly contact with these gentlemen, so that one
cannot but enquire, “ What’s in the wind ?”
As our readers must feel some iuterest in what
ever is likely to create excitement, we feel our
selves justified in making the following statement
respecting this powerful organization, from sour
ces of information, which, front the character of
the parties from whom we have derived it, we
deem of respectful consideration. The
K. G. 0., or “ Knights of the Golden Circle,” was
organized in 1854, more to cultivate the martial
spirit of our people than anything else ; since
then it has steadily grown, until now it numbers
over 30,000 members, who are scattered over the
Southern States, and holding within its charmed
circle many of our most influential men and best
soldiers. No organization of this kind has in this
country ever combined so much taieDt with such
immense financial resources, and under the pres
ent aspect of political affairs, we do not deem it
too much to say, that the whole nation may soon
become deeply interested iu the ultimate labors of
the K. G. C.
It is generally understood that the K. G. C. are
preparing to operate in the broad fields which civ
il war has opened in Mexico to American enter
prise and industry, and the first thought of the
great public is, that it i* to be a grand “ filibus
ter” operation, destined to meet the same rever
ses which have befallen all similar expeditions.
But, for our part, if our information in the main
be correct, the gentlemen who stand at the head
of the movement are of an entirely different in
tellectual calibre from those whom we have here
tofore seen directing these military operations.
If we were allowed to guess, we should say that
these gentlemen are about embarking in a scheme
not unlike that in which Lafayette, Kosciusko*
DeKalb, and their compatriots, so generously en
gaged in when we were striving to shake oft’ the<
shackles of British despotism ; and we are assured
that it is their steady determination to place the
“ Liberal ”or Juarez party in the full and peace
ful occupation of the City of Mexico, and thuA
prove to the world that Americans will never re
fuse to other struggling peoples the aid so oppor
tunely rendered us by the French, in 1777. This
noble work is one that we have frequently advo
cated, and the necessity of which is truly felt by
the masses in this country, as well as of the Re
public of Mexico. We say, God speed to the K.
G. C. ! Should they fail, they will have fallen it*
a noble cause.”
The GxliauHtion of the Soli.
The idea extensively prevails, among those wTio
are not in the habit of thinking closely upon any
subject, that the soil is inexhaustible ; that they
may continue to draw from it crop after crop iu
perpetuity, and it will still contiuue to yield the
precious products that clothe and support man.
Yet every farmer knows by experience, whenever
he does think of it, that this is far from being tl*e
fact. lie can call to mind many an “old field,”
even in this new country, that is already “worn
out” as the phrase goes, and will not repay for
the labor of cultivating it. It would seem sur
prising that in the United States, millions of
whoso virgin soil have never been disturbed by
the share of the plowman, there should already
appear farms that once yielded beautifully which
have become utterly exhausted, and are in conse
quence worthless. Yst such is the fact. The
quantity of land that has been robbed of a portion
of its elements, and thereby been made useless, ia
greater than many people are aware of. Such lands
exist in almost every State of the UuioD, but more
especially in the South. In Virginia, the Caroli
nes and Georgia, there are great ,quantitie9 of
such worn out lands, and they may be found even
in the new and rich States of Alabama, Mississippi
and Louisiana. There are “old fields” within sight
of the Mississippi River, of which the planter and
his family and hands hare taken leave, gone to
find new lands and rich lands, to be subjected in
turn to & like process of depletion and exhaustion.
Iu many of the States, the Southern States inclu
ded, the land vet tilled in many places yield di
minished crops, and every year witnesses a small
er return lor the labor spent upon them. The
evil is becoming one of great magnitude, and
already is extensively prevalent. It is beginning
to excite attention, we might say alarm, in many
quarters, and very justly ; lor if the same evil
procesaof taking from the soil aud returning
nothing to it, which has hitherto prevailed almost
universally throughout the South and YS'est, and
to a considerable extent throughout the whole
country, should contiuue unabated for a few years
longer a large proportion of the soil at present in
cultivation would become exhausted and refuse to
yield its income !
It appears by the census returns that the wheat
lands of Alabama, as well as of other States, have
become impoverished to such an extent that the
yield per acre hat already greatly diminished. The
same thing is true of other kinds of crops in many
of the States of the Union. The same truth wiil
hold good in reference to cotton and tobacco
lands, aud the time has fully come when public at
tention should be every where directed towards
the growing evil. The South is a peculiarly agri
cultural region, and she is therefore peculiarly in
terested in thi* subject. Yet hitherto it has nev
er, 90 to Bpeak,.been thought of. When the fields
have given out, as they have not (infrequently
done, in many quarters and in various, if not all
the Southern States, what has been the practical
consequence? Did the owners ever think of re
plenishing them by artificial means ? Not at all.
They went to Texas ! Or if not to Texas, they
moved where the lands were “rich.” The old
fields, like a traveler robbed of all his “plunder,”
were left to take care of themselves, and they in
vited lh weeds and briars to come and cover
from mortal gaze the cruel spoliations to which
they had been so remorselessly subjected !
It must be evident even to the superficial ob
server that this exhausting process cannot go on
VOLUME XXXVII-NO. 52.
f jr. ve . The ‘ rich lands” will all he taken up af
ter awhile, and what ii worse, they will in their
turn become poor. And then what ? The tides
ot population have already overflowed the moun
tains, and joined iu the lullaby which the placid
Pacific Sings to the setting sun. Thenceforward,
they must flow back with au ever increasiug impe
tus. The new States will soon be peopled and the
rich lands taken op. The people of the “old
States” will therefore find the old custom of rob
bing their lauds and running away from them,
like a faithless husband who deserts the tried
companion of his bosom Cor some fairer and de
ceitful coquet, one which will uo longer be availa
ble. They will have to adopt an entirely new pol
icy. They will have to inaugurate the policy of
compensation ; that is, of returuing to the sod the
elements which are indispensable to the produc
tion of the crops which they desire. The philoso
phy of old and worn cut fields is very simple aud
easily understood. A vegetable production, such
as corn or cotton, requires certain elements in the
soil for their growth. These elements exist in the
soil in limited quantities, and wheu they hare been
exhausted by constant repetition of crops, without
any return of the elements iu question, the soil of
course gives out, and crops fail because their ele
ments are no longer found in it. In order to re
store to it fertility, these elements must be brought
back in various kinds of fertilizers, such as bones,
guano, the offal and sewerage of cities, ashes, sta
ble manure, etc., etc. The subject is exciting
great attention iu Europe whore, though it has
been the custom to enrich the lands with fertili
zers, it is found that the lands are not equal to
the drafts made upon the soil by the crops ; and
hence additional expedients must be resorted
to to keep up the crop yielding properties of the
soil. The great German Chemist, Baron Liebeg,
the most emiuent man living in this department of
science, has recently written a letter to someone
in England, aud which possesses as much interest
iu this country as it cau in that. We subjoin a
few paragraphs from it :
“ History leaches that not one of all those coun
tries which produced corn for other lands have
remained corn markets, and England has contrib
uted her full share towards rendering unproduc
tive the best lands of the United States, which
have supplied her with corn, precisely as old Romo
robbed Sardinia, Sicily and the rich lands of the
African coast of their fertility.
I know that the prophets of future evil have at
all times beeu derided by their own generation,
but if history and natural law can furnish auv
ground whatever for a just conclusion, then there
is none which stands upon a firmer basis than
this : That if the British people do not take tho
pains to secure the natural conditions of the per
manent fertility of their laud, if they allow these
conditions as hitherto to be squandered, their
fields will at no distant day cease to yield their re
turns of corn and meat. Every man may picture
to himself the state of things which will then grad
ually arise ; but it does not belong to the province
ot natural science to decide the question whether
the might and strength and independence of tho
nation cau be maintained when this state of
shall have arisen. ”
Tliis subject ought to be taken in hand by eve
ry Southern Legislature, and measures adopted
whereby public attention shall be directed toward
the be9i methods of preventing the gradual ex
haustion of the soil, which has been going on ev
er since the States had au existence. It furnishes
a most powerful and cogent reason why every
Southern State should have an Agricultural Bu
reau as a part, and very important part, of its
State Government. We trust the Legislature of
Louisiana will take early and vigorous action ou
the subject. —A r , O. Bulletin.
Ureal Hfen Always Know Each Other.
When Mr. Clay visited Hopkinsville, Kentucky,
the first year of the Administration of John Quincy
Adams, to defend himself against the charge of
“ bargain, intrigue and corruption,” he was called
upon by his friends at a large and spacious saloon.
Dr. H , then of that place, and a great friend
of Mr. Clay, was by his side presenting him numer
ous friends as they came forward. Presently the
Doctor saw the tall form of the eccentric Gov.
Pittsur enter the door of the saloon. Instantly he
embraced the opportunity to point him out to Mr.
Clay, and then whispered to him that that tall man
at the door “is Gov. Pittsur, of Pond River, a
most worthy friend of yours, whom you must know
without an introduction ; and you must be certain,
before he leaves, to wish that he may never have
another invasion of 6quirrels.”
Thus posted, Mr. Clay stood his gronnd in the
centre of the saloon, while the Governor, unoon
scious of the innocent trick, approached him by
degrees, and saying, as he came—
“ Don’t int-oduce me to Mr. Clay, he will know
me and I shall know him, for great men know each
other on sight.”
The Governor looked everywhere but in the right
place, and asked, as he passed on :
“ Where is the god-like man ?” and saying, “ I
shall know him on sight; for great men like us al
ways know each other. I beg of you, gentlemen,
not to introduce us ; we will know each other, al
though we have never seen each other. You say
he is in this room ; good—l shall find him !” and
away he stalked towards the place where Mr. Clay
stood.
Presently he drew himself up to his loftiest
height upon beholding Mr. Clay, and eyed him
for some time in uuutterable admiration. Mr.
Clay stepped forward with his blandest smile and
sweetest voice, and exclaimed.
“ How are you, Governor Pittsur of Pond River,
I am rejoiced to see you.”
“ Hear that!” said the Governor ; “didn’t I tell
you that he would know me, and that Pittsur
■would know hirn ? Yes, yes, gentlemen, be is the
greatest man that lives !”
After cordially shaking hands and telling a few
of his happy jokes, Mr. Clay said :
“ My dear Governor, I wish that you may live a
thousand years, and that health may abound
throughout your wide domain, and that you may
never have another invasion of squirrels.”

And the Governor left in a state ot perfect ad

Little Folk and Great Folk. —The unsuccess
ful man is often so, because fsavs Carlyle) he is too
wide for real success. He has too many plans ;
he is fond of coo many pursuits. The man who
succeeds is generally rbe narrow man ; the man
