“ flonor thy father and thy mother, that thy
•lays, may be long in the land with the Lord thy
God giveih thee. 7 ’
Yon think, because I’m fourscore years,
And halt a little in my gait.
My life is one of cares and fears,
And that no blessings on me wait:
Y on think I sigh for days long past,
kV hen Hope his lamp bright beaming bore,
YS hen all was light, front first to last,
And not a shadow loomed before:
That, ‘stead of this young phantom dear,
Ugh tin” my path, as on I at ray.
The spectres grins of guilt and fear
Are my companions on the wav :
That nothing now to me is left,
Rut patience to endure the load
Os added yearp, each one bereft
Os blessings which the lust bestowed.
But trust me, friend, it is not so :
Age has of joy its hidden store.
As rich as youth can e’er bestow,
Which nteni’ry reckons o’er and o’er.
Remember that thc withered leaf,
Just ere it falls to rise no more,
Discloses for a period brief
A brighter tint than e’er it wore.
Remember, too, the great command,
Those w ho their parent honor here,
Shall live long in the promised land,
And revel in its bounteous cheer.
Old age must then a blessing be,
Since ’tis the boon that God doth give
To those whose filial piety
Merits the chosen bliss, to live.
“VYhat though my head be white as snow,
My forehead ploughed by many a furrow,
My body bent like an Indian bow,
And Ia stick am fain to borrow ?
What though my sight begin to fade,
I still can find my way along;
What though my hearing is decayed,
I still can hear the woodland song.
And though young F.incy’s dreams are o’er,
I still can banquet on the past;
And draw from memory’s ample store
As rich ft treut as Hope’s repast.
As o’er my shoulder, back I peer,
I see no grinning spectres pale,
No scowling imps of guilt or fVur,
That dog my steps and snuff thc gale.
Some marks there are, I must confess.
Long time chalked up behind the door—
Some old otfeuces, more or less,
I wish were rubbed from out the score.
But he who gave his blood for all,
I hope has shed one drop for me,
W’hen He atoned for Adam’s fall,
On the high Cross of Calvary.
This world is still a cheerful scene,
The sunshine is still clear and bright;
The waving woods and meadows green,
Still give my heart a mild delight.
’Tis like the summer twilight eve;
Though not so bright as morning’s ray,
Y’ct soft and sweet and hard to leave
As the most gorgeous tints of day.
What though grim death, with iron hand,
Hath severed many a heart knit tie,
And many of my kindred band
In yonder church-yard mouldering lie :
Old friends —a few—still hover near,
Nursing, like me, th’ expiring flatne,
Who though they ail new faces wear.
Are still in heart aud soul the same.
And, best of all, a little band
Os noisy imps climb up my knees,
And ramble with me, hand in hand,
Along the brook, among the trees.
Sometimes I see them skipping round
In sprightly, or mischievous play.
While in my chair l'am weather-bound,
And cannot join the noisy fray.
I do not envy them their sport,
Hut turn my face another way,
And think—’tis age’s last, resort—
How much more wise I am than they!
The old trunk, though its limbs decay,
Puts forth new shoots from year to year
And neath its shadows, rich and gay.
The grass upsprings, the flowers appear.
Then wby should I of age complain ?
If ’tis a punishment meant to prove,
God would not promise it to wan
Asa reward for filial love.
Content to live, content to die,
1 heed not when grim death appears
But, if ’tis Heaven’s high will, why I
Dont’t fear to live tut hundred years.

From Carton's Life of Andrew Jackson.
Trie Jacksou-Dirkinson Duel.
The famous duel between Jackson and Dickin
son is generally kDOWD, but Parton’s recent life of
the former gives an excellent account of the affair,
with some circumstances that are new.
Dickinson’s second won the choice of position,
and Jackson’s the office of giving the word. The
astute Overton considered the giving of the word
a matter of great importance, and he had already
determined how he would give it if the lot fell to
him. The eight paces were measured oft', and the
tnen placed ; both were perfectly collected. All
the politeness of such occasions was strictly and
elegantly performed. Jackson was dressed in a
a loose frock, buttoned carelessly over his
and concealing in some degree the extreme slen
derness of his figure. Dickinson was the younger
and handsomer man of the two. But Jackson’s
tall, erect figure and the still iutensity of his de
meanor, it Is said, gave him a most superior and
commanding air as he stood under the tall poplars
on that bright May morning, silently awaiting the
moment of doom.
“ Are you ready ?” said Overton.
“ I ant ready,” said Dickinson.
“ I am ready,” said Jackson.
The words were no sooner pronounced than
Overton, with a sudden shout cried, using his old
country pronunciation, “ Feare 1”
Dickinson raised his pistol quickly nml fired.—
Overton, who was looking with anxiety and dread
at Jackson, saw a puff of dust flv from the breast
of his coat and saw him raise his arm and place it
tightly across his chest. “He is surely hit,”
thought Overton “and in a bad place too, but he
does not fall.” Erect and grim as fate he stood,
his teeth clenched, raising his pistol. Overton
glanced at Dickinson. Amazed at the unwonted
failure of his aim, and appalled at the awful figure
and face before him, Dickiuson had unconsciously
recoiled a step or two.
“ Great God !” he faltered, “have I missed him?”
“ Hack to the mark, sir!” thundered Overton
with his hand upon his pistol.
Dickinson recovered his composure, stepped for
ward to the peg, and stood with his eyes averted
from his antagonists. All this was but the work
of a moment, though it requires many words to
tell it.
Genera] Jackson took deliberate aim and pulled
the trigger. The pistol neither snapped nor went
oft'. He looked at the trigger and discovered that
it had stopped at half-cock. He drew it back to
its place and took aim a second time. He fired,
Dickinson’s face blanched ; he reeled, his friends
rushed forward, caught him in their arms, and
gently laid him on the grass, leaning againt a bush.
His trowserg reddened. They stripped oflf hi 9
clothes. The blood was gushing front his aide in a
torrent. And ala 9! here ia the ball, not near the
wound, but above the opposite hip, just under the
skin. The ball had passed through the body, below
tbt rib*. Such • wound could not but bo foul.
Overton went forward and learned the-coiiditiou
of the wounded man. R.-joining his principal, he
said: “Ho won’t want anything more of \ou,Gen r
al,'’ and conducted him from the ground; They ha 1
gone a hundred yards, Overton walking on on*
sideol Jackson, the physician on the other, and
neither speaking a word, when the physician
observad that one of Jackson’s shoes was lull ot
blood.
“Oh ! I believe,” replied Jackson, “that he has
pinked me a little. Let’s look at it. But Bay noth
ing about it there,” pointing to the house.
He oftened his coat. Dickinson’s aim had been
perfect. He had sent the ball precisely w here ht
supposed Jackson’s heart was beating. Rut thc
thinness of his body and the looseness of his coat
combined to deceive Dickinson ; the ball had only
broken a rib or two and raked his breast bone. It
was a somewhat painful, bad-looking wound, but
neither severe nor dangerous, and he was able to
ride to the tavern without much inconvenience.
Upon approaching the house he went up to one
of the negro w omen who was churning, and asked
her if the butter had come. She said that it was
just coming. Ho a.ketl for somo buttermilk.—
While gening it for liim, she saw him furtively
open bis coat and look •witbin it. She saw that his
shirt was saturated with blood, and stood gazing
in black horror at the sight, dipper in hand. He
eaupht her eye, anil hastily Buttoned up his coat
again. Phe dipped out a quart measure full ot
buttermilk, and gave it to him. He drank it oft
at a draught, then he went in, took off his tout
and had his wounds carefully examined and dress
ed. This done, he dispatched one of his retinue
to Dr. Caliet, to inquire respecting the condition
of Dickinson, and to sav that the surgeon attend
ing himself would be glud to contribute his aid to
wards Mr. Dickinson's relief. Polite reply was
made that Mr. Dickinson’s case was beyond sur
gery. In the course of the day Jackson sent a
bottle of wine to Dr. C.-tllet, for the use of his pa
tient.
Hut there wrs one gratification which Jackson
could not, even under such circumstances, grant
him. Avery old ft lend of General Jackson's
writes me thus : “ Although the Geueral bad been
wounded, he did not wish it to be known until he
left the neighborhood and theretore concealed it
at first from his own friends. His reasou for this
was, as he once stated to me, that as Dickinson
considered i imself the best shot in the world, and
was certain of killing him at the first fire, he did
not want him to have the gratification even of
knowing that he had touched him.”
4 Dissolvin’ the Union.’ —The last Knickerbock
er Magazine has the following, which is not JJbad,
either as a story or a speech :
During the exciting campaign of 185-, in Illi
nois, a prominent politician made a disunion speech
at Quincy. After he was through, and before the
crowd had dispersed, a man who styled himself
“The Aforesaid M. D.” was called for. He was
lifted upon the platform, so “elevated” that he
could not stand without holding on to something.
He said :
“ Gentleman and ladies, you’re talkin’ of dis
solvin’the Union; you can’t do it; if you go
to you can’t do it! Thar’s that are flag a
wavin’ up thar, called the Star Spangled Banner ;
j how ye are a-goin’ to divide that, ha? Are you
a-goln’ to give the stars to the Norf and the stripes
to the Sous? No sir-ree; thc thing can’t be did.
! [Cheers.]
i “ And thar’a that good old toon that the band’s
a-plavin’ out thar, called Y’aukee Doodle; how ye
a-goin’ to divide thnt, eh! Are ye a-goin’ to give
1 the Yankee to the Norf and the Doodle to the
Sous ? I say boldly, the thing can’t be did !
[Cheers.]
“And thar’a that stream of water a-runnin*
down thar, called the ‘Father-o’-Wottc-rs’; how are
ye a-goin to divide that ? Are ye a-goin’ to dam
it up with Mason and Dixon’s line ? I say you
can’t do that thing ! YVal, you can’t! [Cheers.]
“And thar’s the railroad lavin’ out thar ; how
ve a goin’ to divide that, eh ? are you goin’ to tie
it up w ith Muson and Dixon’s line ? Y’ou can’t do
i it! [Cheers.]
i “And thar’s all the fast horse 9 stand’ round
here; how are ve a-goin’ to divide them? old
hosses! Are ye a-goin’ to run ’em North,and run
’em South, and run ’em East, and run ’em West?
1 [Cheer.]
j “ And tbar’s all the handsome wimmin round
j here; how are ye a-goin’ to divide them? Are
! you goin’ to give the old ones to the Norf, and the
young ones to the Sous? Waal,-you don't! If
j you go to thunder you can’t do it! [lmmense
cheering.]
“And thnr’s all the feathered tribe and other
bird’s a-flying about here, and the chickens and
egg's-nest, and the yaller legs and the black legs;
| how- you goin’ to divede them, eh ? Are you goin’
i to give the pullets to the Xori and thc cocks to the
Sous,” [Tremendous cheering.]
Our reporter could hear no more, for the roar of
Laughter which ensued, as the “Doctor” caved in
and fell from thc platform.
Ail Eloquent Extract.
We make the following eloquent extract from
a late speech ot Senator Hunter, of Virginia. In
speaking of the possibility of the efforts of the Re
publicans to overthrow the government proving
successful, he said:
Sir, in that event, the accussing voice of human
history will ring through all the ages to impeach
them at the bar of posterity for having des
troyed the noblest scheme of constitutional liberty
which the wisdom of man has ever devised; and
upon that fearful issue each of the succeeding gen
erations of men will record iis verdict of guilty
against them. Their own descendants will heap re
proaches upon the names of those who disappoint
thpm of the destiny which would have been the
richest inheritance that one generation could be
queath another. But when it is asked upon what
view of the constitution ; upon what consideration
of religion or philanthropy ; upon what calculation
of interest, general or sectional, the fatal deed was
done, where will the satisfactory answer be found,
and who shall arise in that day to defend their
name from the foul reproach?
Mr. President, when I think of what it is that
may be destroyed by thi3 narrow spirit of sectional
hate and bigotry, I turn away from the contempla
tion with a feeling of almost indignant dispair, but
I will not, as yet, despair of my country. I will
yet hope that the great army of Northern Detno
crats and conservatives will arise in the -might ot
a noble cause and expel the intruders from the seat
of power. I will trust in the influence of truth,
whose empire is felt in every human heart when
once it has touched it. I will put my faith higher
i yet —in Provideuce, for it cannot be that God will
pemiit such a scheme of government as this freigbt
i ed as it might have been, with the highest hopes of
humanity, to be w recked in the wild orgies of mad
men and fanatics.
lYhltewash-A good Whitewash.
This i a subject upon which our farmers require
“ line upon line and precept upon precept.” White
wash is one of the most valuable articles in the
world, when properly applied. It prevents not
only the decay of wood, but conduces greatly to
the healthiness of nil buildings, whether of wood
or stone. Outbuildings and fences, when painted
should be supplied once or twice every year with
a good coat of whitewash, which should be pre
pared in the following way :
Take a cleaD. water-tight barrel or other suitable
cask, and put into it a half bushel of lime. Slack
if by pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in suf
ficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and
stir it briskly till thoroughly slacked. When the
slacking has been effected, dissolve in water, and
add two pounds of sulphate of zinc, aud one of
common salt. These will cause the wash to har
den, and prevent its cracking, which gives an un
seemly appearance to the work. It desirable, n
beautiful cream color may he communicated to the
above wash, by adding three pounds of yellow
ochre, or a good pearl or lead color by the addition
ot lamp, or Ivory black. For fawn color, add four
pounds umber—Turkish or America—(the latter is
the cheapest) one pound Indiau red, and one pound
common lampblack. For common stone color,
add four lbs. raw umber, and two pounds lampblack.
This wash may be applied with a common white
wash brush, and will be found much superior,
both in appearance and durability, to common
whitewash.— Germantown Telegraph.
Never make use of an honest woman's name in
an improper place, or at an improper time, or in
a mixed company. Never make assertions about
her that you think are untrue, allusions that you
feel she herself would blush to hear. When you
meet with men who do not scruple to make use of
a woman’s name in a reekleas manner, shun them,
for they are the very worst members of the com
munity-men lost to every eenee of honor, every
feeling of humanity.

Ofwnercjal furnishes the readers of that joum. 1
Mth the following |*etograph of the presiding
officer of the late Convention :
f aleb (.ushiug, when introduced as chairman,

.“ay pants, and black satin vest. Considering tbs

nose straight and sharp; H ps thin and expressive
of intellectual cautiousness and pluck, and his face

heard in omy part of tho house.”
A well known fire-eater is thus described :

Tof. Use of th*. Mosquito Bar— “ Gosh !” said
Johnny Spooner, the other morning, to the clerk
at Lovejoy s, “that skeeter net o’ yourn’s a firßt
rtite article, I kin tell yeou.”
“Glad to hear it,” said the other; “calculated to
make everything work well in this shop.”
“Wal, it was jest all that; I Jest pulled up one
corner of the net, an’ waited till a hull lot on ’em
morn half a gross o’ the pesky critters, piled down
me, when I let it go, and ketched the hull cantan
keroua crow.
“ Caught the mosquitoes ?” said the astonished
clerk.
. “ Wal * 1 didn ’‘ do nothin’ else, ole feller. r flm

through the night, but I reckon I fixed their flint*
for em in the mornin’ I’m jest agoiu’ out here to
get one o’ them bars. Grpat thing, they is for
kerehin’ varmint.”
There we:e some curious movements In the re-
Sions of the clerk’s quarters, just at the moment •
the sound accompanying resembled a laugh some
what—they did.
A Reasonable Inference.— The steamer 8
commanded by Captain S., exploded acveral year*
ago, with teirible effect and burned to the waters
edge. Capt. S. was blown into the air, alighting
near a floating cotton bale, upon which he floated
uninjured, but much blackened and mudded Ar
rived at a village several miles below, to which
news of the disaster preceded him, he was accosted
by the editor ot the village paper, with whom ho
was well acquainted, and eager for n item ■
“ I say, is the S. blown up ?”
“ Yes.”
“ “’os Captain S. killed ?”
“ No 1 I am Capt. S.”
blown?" tbunder - vou are •’ How b! e h were yon
“High euough to think of every mean thmg I
ever did in my life, before I came down.”
The editor started on a run for his office; the
paper about going to press, not wishing to onus
the item of intelligence for the next issue two
weeks off wrote as follow- :
The steamer S. has bursted her boiler, we learn
from Capt. S., who says he was up loDg enough to
think of every mean thing he ever did in his life
before he lit. We suppose he was up about three
months.
Labor in the Country.—The New York. Journal
of Commerce is showing that there are at this mo
ment more persons profitably employd throughout
the I nited States than at any previous date in the
historry of the country. Speculation, it reasons,
is not the order of the day, as before 1857, but
work:
The Boston Post says that the mills of New Eng
land will this year earn more than an average of
ten per cent. The W eet, which suffered the most
severely from an absolute investment of more than
her surplus capital, and was thus left loaded with
debt, has been toiling hard at her workshops, and
can now see the beginning of the end. The South
has been expending too largely in some sections
for railroad and other improvements in advance of
the demand. But her extraordinary corps, thrown
upon a market that has been almost miraculously
sustained, have kept her above the deep water*
into which the rest of the nation was plunged.—
F.-ery part of the country is now hard at work,
and this is a specific for returning prosperity that
cannot fail.
Retort Courteous.— Some years ago, an at
tempt being made by certain schemers in Vermont
o form a coalition between the Democrats and
Free Sobers, the Burlington Sentinel opposed the
movement as tending to abolitionue the Democra
cy whereupon a subscriber wrote to Saxe, then
editor of the Sentinel, a sauev letter denouncing
cite paper as a “ pro-slavery” sheet, and telling him
to “ send the thing to bell!” Saxe took his revenge
in the following epigram :
“ A free soil ‘ patron’ of the Sentinel
Politely bids us ‘ send the thing to hell!”
A timely hint; ’tis proper, we confess.
With change of residence to change address :
It shall be sent, if Fiuto’s mail will let it,
Where our subscriber will be sure to get itl”
Neat Housekeepers.— “lt is my honest opinion,”
says Mr. Blobbs, “ that out of one hundred young
ladies who dress well otherwise , but whose shoes
are generally found badly fitting and down at tho
heel, and whose stockings are wrinkled and twist
ed about the leg, not one out of that number will
make neat housekeepers. Innate love of neatness
will not permit a lady to overlook propriety in
matters of this kind, though geueraly on account
of sweeping dresses, unnoticed. I have seen,” ears
Mr. Blobbs, “an elegant bonnet, shawl and dress
to match, parading Broadway, and the lady wave
her parasol—a five dollar parasol— to an omnibus,
ind upon her placing her foot upon the step, sir,”
-said Blobbs, gravely, “ I learned more of her true
character by the sight of that shoe and stocking
than a year’s visiting would have given me ; that
iady lost caste by that miserable old shoe and
twisted, carelrfksly-worn stocking.”
Worth Knowing. —Tranxplaiitincj Trte*.— lf the
Commissioner of the Central Park would give strict
orders to mark the north side of trees with red
chalk before they were taken up, and w hen set out
o have the tree put in the ground with its north
-ide to the north in its natural position, a larger
proportion would live. Ignoring this law of nature,
the cause of so many translated trees dying. If

orvetle while it lay in San Francisco. But two
French ladies were determined to see the decks of
the foreign ship; the feminine lexicon, like that of

ble politeness, and carried on a lively conversation
with the Admiral —the odlj drawback being that
neither could understand the other’s language.—
But when they prepared for departure, and extend
ed their hands to the Admiral in leave-taking, that
distinguished Japanese perceived a rat, and sum
moning aD attendant presented the pxevdo gentle
men with a variety of magnificent hair pins, brace
lets, and furs, remarking that though a Japanese,
he was still a man, and could detect the pressure
of ft lady’s land.
