HOPS, june IS CHKSTNI'TfIROVK, Superior old Ry* and Mo j;i 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! — N. O. Delta 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 inys. 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 Press. And so much for a humbugged editor. 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.

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.— Close the aged eyes ! Fold the aged hands in rest.!

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 go * A large number of the friends of Col.

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.

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.
