Deposition of Sam Houston.
Ihe cireaia?tanecu attending the deposi
tion of Sam Houston a? Governor of Texas,
were quite dramatic, aud iu some respects
ludicrous and comical. The Convention of
rex-i*. called bv thp loud voice of the peo
ple against the denunciations and opposition
of Gov. Houston, having passed the act of
Secession, ;md accepted aud ratified the Gon
stiration of the Confederate States, prescrib
ed a form of oath to be taken by all the
State officers This oath included a renun
ciation of all allegiance t,o all foreign powers,
and especially to the Government of the
United States, and a declaration of fidelity
to the Constitution of the Confederate States.
When the oath was proposed to Gov. Hous
ton, lie peremptorily refused to take it ;
whereupon the Convention declared the of
fice of Governor vacant, and Lieut. Gov.
Clark was not slow in entering upon the
Gubernatorial functions, and proceeding to
the Governor’s office, assumed the chair and
entered upon the duties of the office. By
and by, the deposed Governor came hob
bling to his office—old Sam’s San Jacinto
wound having broken out afresh, as it al
ways does on occasions of political trial.—
Perceiving Gov. Clark occupying the chair,
Old Sam addressed him :
“Well, Governor Clark,” giving great
emphasis to the title; “you are an early
riser.”
“Yes, General” replied the Governor,
with u great stress upon the military title
of his predecessor, “I am illustrating the
old maxim, ‘the early bird gathers the
worm.’ ”
“Well, Gov. Clark, T hope you will find
it an easier seat than I have found it.”
“I’ll try to make it ao, General, by con
forming to the cle.arly expressed will of the
people of Texas.”
The General, having brought a large
lunch basket with him, proceeded to put up
numerous little articles of private property,
and to stow them away very carefully. —
Catching his foot in a hole in the carpet and
stumbling, the General suggested to Gov.
Clark that the new Government ought to
afford a uew carpet for the Governor’s office,
whereupon the Governor remarked that the
Executive of Texas could get along very
well without a carpet.
Approaching the washstand, the General
called the attention of Gov. Clark to two
pieces of soap—one, the Castile Soap, was
his own private property ; and the other, a
perfumed article, was the property of the
State, and added, “Governor, your hands
will require the very frequent use of this
cleansing article ;” whereupon Gov. Clark,
pointing to the washbowl, which was full of
very black and dirty water, remarked :
“General, I suppose that is the bowl in
which you washed before leaving the office.”
Having gathered up all his duds, old Sam
made a little farewell speech, very much in
the style of Cardinal Woolsey, declaring his
conviction that, as in the past, the time
would soon come when Texas would call
him from his retirement, and lie hoped Gov.
Clark would be able to give as good an ac
count of his stewardship as he could now
render. Halting at the door, the General
made a profound bow, and with an air of
elaborate dignity said, “Good day, Governor
Clark.” “Good day, General,” was the
Governor’s response. And thus the “Hero
of Jacinto” concluded his political career!

lu Lovp with Calico.
As the “last best gift” are discussing the
dress question in the Rural, wo think the
remarks of one of the “sterner sex” a young
man in Oswego county, who lias been in
spired by calico, —are worthy of more tliau
a passing notice. Read them and ponder :
“Calico dresses are grand institutions.—
Delaines, silks, and even satins are good
enough in their place—in the parlor or
band-box, and all such ; but after all the
old “stand by,” the substantial, is the shil
ling calico. Care must be taken not to soil
the silk, nothing must come in contact with
the nice dress that will rumple and stain it ;
but the calico, that’s made for work, and
as the ‘highfalutin.?’ say, ‘nobly does it ful
fill its mission. ’ Silk rarely finds its way
into the realities of life; that is, into the
kitchen at home, or into the hut of the suf
fering abroad.
But calico. 0 ! what rich meals we got
by it; how it cheers the suffering as with its
bright colors ami aheerful presence it stands
with soft hand ministering to our distresses.
Calico seems to be always more willing
and ready to give to want than silk. It is
a curious fact of our nature, that the nicer
our dress the harder our heart is, as if when
dressed in silk we changed our natures and
rose above base wordly things. What ! our
silk dress to be seen near enough to that
poor woman to give her assistance, or drab
bling into a dirty hut ? No, never! Cali
co might do it; silk, it’s just impossible.
But when, in addition to all, Calico comes
in, rosy with the exercise of kitchen duties
which it knows how to do so well, and loves
to do so dearly, and sits down at the piano,
or melodeon, and makes the liquid melody
fiow sweetly forth ; aye, even blending its
own sweet voice with the music of the in
strument, then we appreciate Calico.”
Parental Authority. —When the child
is prepared to submit to authority—to ac
knowledge the superiority of its parent—to
acknowledge his obligation to render obe
dience to bis will—the parent then has the
vantage-ground ; he can then cultivate the
heart, the affections of that child, and every
thing he does will then be received as an aet
of kindness and condescending ; while on the
other hand, the child has never learned to
submit, takes whatever his parents do for
him as his right—his due; and when the
parent withholds anything from him, he
considers it a wrong, and it is wrong as he
has a right to view the subject, if the parent
has indulged it up from infancy as the rule,
iustead of teaching him to govern himself,
and to yield to authority.— Orlando Hast

Life’s Inequalities. —The inequalities
of life are real things,—they can neither be
explained away, nor done away, —“yon may
diy them out hut they will com-e, ayain.” A
leveler, therefore, has long been set down as
a ridiculous and chimercial being who, if he
could finish his work to-day, would have to
begin it again to-morrow. The things that
constitute these real inequalities are four—
strength, talent,, riches, and rank. The two
former would constitute inequalities in the
rudest state of society more or less civilized.
A*i t uri ported Incident in t!ieSo
cession Programme.
A w?ll-kn >wu merchant of this city, who
was in New Orleans on the day T.ouisiani
passed the secession ordinance, and who wit
nessed the illumination Ui honor of that
act, has related to us, with a request that wo
would suppress names, the following racy
incident. It so happened that on the dav
of the illumination the captain of a Missis
sippi steamboat aud bis lady were stopping
j at I^lC r - Charles, and occupied a front
room, on the third floor—the jirat floor of
chambers—exactly in the centre of the ho
tel. I lie captain was a Union man. and—
as the s qael will show— was his wife.—
All the oily was agitated during the after
noon in prospect of the. grand gala night.—
The St. Charles was to he illuminated, of
course. Ace mlinlgy, some time during the
afternoon a servant knocked at the door of
the captain’s room, carrying all the neces
sary trappings for lighting up the chamber
windows. .Mrs. opened the door, when
the following dialogue ensued :
Lady —What have you got there?
Servant—Gandies, Missus, to light your
windows for de Rumination.
Lady—Well, you can return them to
where you brought, them from, as I shall
not allow them in my room.
Servant—(Not to be failed so easily re
sumed) —Oh ! but massa told me to put up
the lights, and so l’se got to put. ’em up.
Lilly—Can’t help that; this is my rmm,
and I shan’t allow the windows to he illum
inated for what I am opposed to ; so that
ends it.
This dosed the first aet. The servant re
ported to the proprietors, who immediately
proceeded to the lady’s room with a view to
convincing her of the importance of permit
ting the servant to make ready for the grand
evening light up. Said they : “This room
is the most, central in the entire front, and
not to illuminate it, will he to mar seriously
the effect of the whole,” to which the lady
replied :
“I am sorry, gentlemen, to cause you any
inconvenience, hut I believe this room for the
time being is ours by right, and I must pos
itively decline, in any way, to add eclat to a
great outrage, as I conceive the whole dis
union movement to be. My husband (who
was out at the time) is a Union man, and T
am a Union woman, and this room cannot
he illuminated.” A few more words were
exchanged, which ended hy the lady polite-,
ly requesting the proprietors to leave her
room. Determined not to be out done in a
matter of such grave importance, the cap
tain was next found and appealed to. He
heard their case; said his wife had reported
him correctly on the Union question, never
theless, he would go tvith them to the room
and see if the matter could be amicably ar
ranged. Scene third ensued. The captain’s
disposition to yield was not to be seconded
by his better half. They next proposed to
vacate the best, chamber in her favor in
some other part of the house, if that would
be satisfactory, but the lady's “No!” was
still as peremptory as ever. Her point was
gained, and the St. Charles was doomed to
have a dark front chamber.
Pleased with this triumph, Mrs. de
vised the following manoeuvre to make the
most of tier victory : Summoning a servant
she sent him out to procure for her an Am
erican flag, which at dusk, she suspended
from her window. This made the fourth
act in the play, and as the fifth is always
indispensable, it had its place here. When
evening came, the streets animated by a
merry throng, were illuminated, but, alas !
the St. Charles was disfigured by its sombre
chamber, when suddenly a succession of
lamps, suspended on both sides of the flag,
revealing the Stars and Stripes, were lit, up,
and the ensign of the. Union waved from the
centre of a hotel illuminated in honor of its
overthrow ! The effect was, to give the im
pression that, the whole house was thus pay
ing homage to the American flag, and what
is most significant, is the fact, that the latter
was greeted by the passing crowd with vo
ciferous applause. So much for the firmness
of a true Union woman. —Philachljthia

Au Elegant Woman.
There is a person whose harmonious voice
give? to her conversation a charm fouud
equally in her manners. Bho knows how to
speak and how to keep silence, how r deli
cately to engage herself with you, and use
only proper subjects of conversation. Her
words are happily chosen ; her language is
pure, her raillery caresses, and her criticism
does not wound. Far from contradicting
with the ignorant assurance of a fool, she
seems to seek in your company, good sense
or truth. She indulges in dissertation as
little as she does in dispute ; stops when she
pleases. Os an equable temper, her air is
affable and gay. Her politeness has nothing
forced in it, her welcome is never servile;
she reduces respect to nothing more than a
delicate shade; she never tires you, and
leaves you satisfied with her and yourself.—
Attracted to her sphere by an inexplicable
power, you find her wit aud grace impressed
upon the things with which she surrounds
herself; everything there pleases the sight,
and while there you seem to breathe the
fresh air of the country. In intimacy this
person seduces you by a tone of fresh sim
plicity. Hhe is frank, without offending any
one’s self-love.
She accepts men as God has made them,
pardoning their faults aud ridiculous quali
ties; comprehending all ages, and vexing
herself about nothing, since she has tact
enough to foresee everything. She obliges
rather than consoles, she is tender and gay ;
therefore you will love her irresistibly. You
will take her for a type and vow to worship
her.
Fattji. —The soldiers that, like Cromwell’s
march with Bibles in their boots, load the
cannon by the grace of God, and lire it with
a psalm, cannot easily he beaten. Give us
plenty of the substance of things hoped for
and an evidence of things not seen. Let one
feel that he stands on truth, that the laws
of the universe and the attributes of the Al
mighty are pledged to his support, and you
might as well try tn chase a rock as him.—

The Dead.
The dead are the only people that never
grow old. There was something typical in
rhe arrestment of time in the ease of the
youthful miner, of whom we have already
spoken. Your little brother and sister that
died long ago remains in death and in re
membrance the same young tiling forever.
It is lonrteen years this evening since the
writer’s sister left this world. She was sis
teen years old then—she is fifti>en years old
jet. 1 have grown older since by fourteen
years, but she has uever changed as they ad
vanced ; and if God spares me to fourcsore, I
never shall thiuk of her as other than the
youthful creature she faded. The other
day 1 listened as a poor woman told of the
death of Iter first-born child. He wa? two
years old. She had a washing-green, across
which was stretched a rope that came in the
middle close to the ground. The boy was
leaning on the rope, swinging backwards and
forwards, and shouting with delight. The
mother went into her cottage and lost sight
a minute ; and when she returned the little
man was lying across the rope dead. It had
no sense to push it away; and he was suffo
cated.
The mother told me, and I believe truly,
that she had never been the same person
since ; but the thing which mainly stauck
me was, that though it is eighteen years
since then , she thought of her child as an
infant of two years yet; it is a little child
Hhe looks for to meet her at the gate of the
Golden City. Had her child lived, he would
have been, twenty years old now ; he died,
and ho is only two ;he is two yet; he will
never be more than two. The little rosy
face of that morning and the little half-arti
culate voice, would have been faintly re
membered by the mother had they gradually
died into boyhood and manhood ; but that
daysterotyped them; they remain unchanged.
Have you seen, my reader, the face that
had grown old in life, grow young after
death ?—the expression of many years since,
lost for long, cotne out startlingly in the
features, fixed and cold ? Every one has
seen it ; and it is sometimes strangp how
rapidlv the change takes place. The marks
of pain fade out, and with them the marks
of ago. I once saw an aged lady dip. She
had born sharp pain for many days with the
endurance of a martyr; she had to bear
sharp pain to the very last. The features
were tense and rigid with suffering; they re
mained so while life remained. It was a
beautiful sight to see the change that took
place in the very instant of dissolution.
The features, sharp for many days with
pain, in that instant recovered the old aspect
of quietude which they had borne in health ;
the tense, tight look was gone. You saw the
signs of pain go out. It was no more ot
course than the working of physical law ;
but in that ease it seemed as if there was a
further meaning conveyed. And so it seems
to me when the young look comes back on
the departed Christian's face. Gone, it
seems to say, when the progress of time
shall no longer bring age or decay. Gone,
where there are beings whose life may be
reckoned by centuries, but in whom life is
fresh and young, and always will be so.—

Ihe •‘Time#*’ Tlau.
The Mr. Russell, who now represents the
London Times here, is the same gentleman
who was sent by that journal to Ireland to
report O'Conuell’H speeches during the Re
peal agitation. One of the first meetiugs the
newspaper man attended was in Kerry.—
Having heard of O’Connell’s polite qualities,
he thought he would ask that gentleman’s
permission to take a verbatim account of the
oration. The “ Liberator” not. only consent
ed, but, in his oiliest, manner, informed the
assembled audience that “ until that gintle
man was provided with all writin’ conveni
ence, he would’nt speak a word,” assuming
an extra brogue, which was altogether unne
ccssaiy. Russell was delighted. The prepar
ations began, and were completed; Russell
was ready.
“ Are you quite ready ?” asked Dan.
“ Quite ready.”
“ Now, are you sure you’re entirely ready?”
“ I’me certain, sir. Yes.”
The crowd becoming excited and impa
tient, Dan said : “Now, ’pon my concience,
I won’t begin the speech till the London
gintlcman is intirely ready.”
After waiting another moment or so, O'-
Connell advanced; eyes glistened; ears were
all attention ; and thereportorial pencil arose.
Dan gave one more benignant amile on the
correspondent, winked at the auditors, and
commenced his speech in the Irish lanyuaye,
to the irrepressible horror of the present ed
itor of the Army and Navy Gazette, and to
the infinite delight, of all Kerry.
A Scene at tiie White House.
There was quite a scene at the White
House Saturday morning. It appears that
the President invited Senator Baker, of
Oregon, whom he formerly knew in Illinois,
to breakfast with him. The invitation was
accepted, ami after breakfast the President
invited him to walk with him to his recep
tion room, where he said a delegation of
Californians were to present themselves and
have a hearing in regard to the appointments
in that State. A dispatch says :
Senator Baker accordingly accompanied
the President, aud a large number of Cali
fornians, representing the two factions, were
soon in the presence of his Excellency.—
Mr. James Siwontou, oue of the editors of
the Bulletin, representing the anti-Baker
faction, presented to the President a protest
against the right of Senator Baker, of Ore
gon, to be heard in regard to the appoint
ments in California. Mr. Siraonton then
read an address, said to be couched in se
vere and disrespectful language to the Pres
ident. It was exceedingly severe upon
several citizens of California, who were
known friends of Colonel Baker, and are iu
favor of Mr. Birdseye for Collector.
After Mr. Situ'mton had concluded the
reading of his addreae, the President took
his manuscript, and, crushing it in his hand,
threw it into the fine, and then turning to
the California!!?, said—“l will destroy this
in the presence of tke parties who bore it.—
The protest is more respectful, and that I
will file for consideration. Col. Baker I
have known for twenty-five years. He is
my friend. This attack upon him is unjust,
and not, borne out by the facts.” He then
intimated to the protestant.s that they could

fiveHnmlreil Tlilev.a Dog-Sled,
The St. Cloud Dfmacrot gives an interest
ing account ot the trip of Gov. Barber, of
Deeotah, ot five hundred miles on a s sled
pulled by dogv. The Governor travelled
from Selkirk to St. Cloud, and visited the
office ol the Democrat, where he honored tho
editress, Mrs. Hwisshelm, and her daughter,
with a short excursion. Mrs. 8. says : The
concern eame to the edge of a sled track and
tipped over, wheu the Governor took hold of
the sled and righted it without disturbing its
laughing load, then stepped on behind, drove
oft’ with a flourish and on a fast trot. The
vehicle is a very thin board split from an
oak log. It is about as wide as a chair seat,
and eight feet long. It is bent upward in
frout like a sled runner, and lies flat on the
snow. Usually this is all, but our Gov.,
with an eye to elegance and creature comfort,
tiad a cutter sled built on his, of parchment,
with a back high enough to support the
shoulders, scroll-shaped sides, slips as thick
as a man’s finger. It is staunch end firm,
iand yet the whold affair, we are told, weighs
I little over ten pounds In this little bed the
j traveller sits with his buffalo robes and
i blankets, while on the flat board which ex*
| tends behind him, is strapped his pemican
and other provisions. Before him arc his
tour dogs, hitched between two long traces
of rawhide, one before the other. Ihe trav
eller has a whip long enough to reach the
foremost, and usually keeps up a vigorous
flogging and shouting. The creatures will
travel from thirty to sixty miles per day, and
keep on day after day. Their allowance is
one pound of pemican each, daily. But of
ten the traveler who goes well armed suc
ceeds in shooting game and thus furnishes
food for his steeds. The dogi are t f the
wolf species, ugly, treacherou*-looking b'utes,
who would no doubt eat their master if they
ot a chance. A turnout of this kind is a
natural and artificial curiosity combined.—
The G ov., as dog-train travellers usually are,
was in the spirit of it; and with moccasins,
fringed leggings, red sash, fur coat and cap,
long hair and beard, looked like a combi
nation of polar bear and Indian.
Ileattti mid Happiness.
The two things which conduce most to
nealth and happiness are labor and absti
nence. Spartan severities are l.ot recom
mended ; nor could they be conducive either
of health or happiness; but that degree of
labor which may be had without being op
pressive, and that quantity of food which
suffices to support nature without loading the
tomach. But iabor and abstinence are two
things which mankind takes most pains to
avoid. Yet what exercise a more healthy
influence both upon the mind and body than
these ? And not only should a man be tem
perate in food, but moderate in all things.
Moderation of disposition teaches us to re
strain all the evil workings of the mind—to
repress jealousies, envy, auger, malice, ha
tred, revenge, and all -those baneful passions
which have ruined the health and peace of
thousands. It directs us, too, to cultivate
i ill the benevolent feelings of our nature, to
; moderate our desires—and above all, to do
anto others as we would they should do un
to ns. By this means we shall ensure peace
and tranquility of mind, which are absolute
ly requisite to the full enjoyment of all tho
faculties of the mind, and that through per-
I form a nee of all the animal functions of the
body without any impediment, pain or mo
lestation. The mind, thus discharged from
tumultuous passions, and the body free from
disorders, render existence a happiness to
us, and life an object of desire, while the
loss of these blessings implies the lo?s of
everything pleasant and delectable. “To
enjoy good health,” said St. Everemond, a‘
i celebrated French philosopher, “ is bettor
han to command the whole world. Health
s the fountain of every blessing; for wit-h
----ut this we could not relish the most exquis
ite pleasures, or enjoy the most desirable
objects.” Without health, we cau neither
be happy in ourselves, nor useful—at least,
not in a considerable degree—to our friends,
or to society. Much undoubtedly, depends
ou an original vigor of constitution. But,
by a judicious attention to sundry particulars,
health in many cases may be preserved,
where it would otherwise be lost.
“TO Whom Hitch is Given/’
I have seen Laura Bridgman, whom God
sent into this world without sight, hearing,
or the power of speech. She could see noth
ing, ask nothing. To her, the thunder has
ever been silence, and the sun blackness. —
The tips of her lingers and the palms of her
hands have been her ey<*3 and tongue. \et
that poor sickly girl knows much of the
earth, and language, and numbers; of human
relationships and passions ; of what is, ha3
been, shall be, should le; of siu, and death,
and hell ; of God. and Christ, and heaven.
And all this has gone through the poor
child’s slender fingers, darkly feeling the
fingers of another; and thus she tells her
hopes, and fears, and sorrows, and if she,
groping so blindly for the Savior, finds Him
and rest her weak bands on His lowly head
—that blessed head which bows lowly enough
even for this—O, how will she rise up in
judgement, and condemn with utter over
whelming, yon, 0, sinners! upon whose soul
every sense is pouring the knowledge of God,
