TW THE DAWSING OF DAY.
’Twas the dawning of day, and, strolling along.
The trees in full bloom and the birds in full song ;
The dew on the tall grass lay sheeny and fair,
And the clover-tops scented the fresh morning air—
ttlist'i.ing and fair
The dew-drops lay there,
And the clover-tops scented the fresh morning air.
Across the green dell seemed the mountains on fire,
And the morning beems tipped with their rays the old
spire;
And the matin bell said to the sluggard, Arise,
And the lark sweetly sang as he soared in the skies—
Soltly did swell
The musical bell,
While the lark sweetly sang as he soared in the skies.
I strolled forth again at the closing of day,
While beauty was streaming o’er mountain and bay,
And the Day.god was siuking in glory to rest
Behind the blue wave on the rim of the west—
Sinking to rest,
On the verge of the west,
The Day-god was sinking in glory to rest.
And the summer was ripening what spring had began
And the valley lay teeming with plenty for man,
And the vintage was pouriug its nectarine flood,
And music was floating o’er mountain and wood—
Winging its flight
On the calm summer night,
Sweet music was winging o’er valley and wood.
And again, from the old church across the green dell,
Were heard the clear tones of the musical hell;
And, echoing, it seemed to vibrate on the air,
‘Tis the hour of repose as it summons to prayer—
The soft vesper bell
Seemed to say in its swell,
’Tis the hour of repose, ’tis the calm hour of prayer.
I*sat and I mused, while the stars they came forth,
And spangled the heavens from tho south to the north;
And the Queen of the Night, in majestic repose,
On the verge of the east in beauty arose—
The Queen of the Night,
With silvery light,
In beauty and brightness inajest.c arose.
I had seen the sun rise, run his course to the west,
And, radiant, depart with the smile of the ble.-t;
What though some dark clouds would their shadows
intrude ?
He heeded not, paused not, but onward pursued—
Hid from our view,
Faithful and true,
lie stayed not, but onward his journey pursued.
Our life is a journey, I musing did say,
And will aptly contrast with this now finished day
Youth’s morning is bright, youth’s moffiing is fair,
Aud with dawning of day rosy youth will compare—
Smiling and fair,
Youth will compare,
With the beauty of morning ouryouth will compare.
Then, as to late manhood our footsteps draw nigh,
Dark clouds sail athwart of our childhood’s fair sky ;
False pleasures deceiving,and friendships unkind,
And our goddess of fortune proves halting and blind—
Though darkness obscuie,
I’atient endure,
When friendship and fortune prove fickle and blind.
At the evening of life, when our labor is done,
If we rose like the sun our life’s journey to run,
Dike the sun may we set, without sorrow or fear,
Like the sun may we hope to again reappear—
Bet calmly and clear,
Without sorrow or tear,
And, like the sun, hope to again reappear.
What though the bright orb has gone done from tho
sight ! ,
His glory reflects from the Queen of the Night;
And ’tis this that reveals, though hidden from view,
He again will appear and his brightness renew—
Though hidden awhile,
Again he will smile,
Again will appear aad his glory renew.
Thus may our good deeds in our heaven be bright,
That when we go down, and obscured is our light,
Like the moon and the stars, oh, tnav they remain,
illCUlClUUmuvv *- U .vi.ung
Oi coining again,
Oh, may they remain,
A remembrance the hope of our rising again!
Reminiscences of Mr. Calhoun by his Private Secre
tary.
It will be difficult for nte to forget a scene in
Mr. Calhoun’s sick chamber one morning. But
I must write it in a plain narrative Way, for 1
shall have to tread on tender ground in what I
am about to write, and if my memory was
uot perlectlty clear upon the suhjee 1 would not
write at all.
For many years previous to the great states
man’s death—probably from the commencement
of the abolition excitement, every printed) docu
ment, hook, newspaper, or engraving, got up by
the abolition party, was sqnt to Mr. Calhoun.—
| i suppose, in many cases, it was to annoy him—
in other cases it was done by friends to let him
see what was doing. A great many of these pa
pers'he would read. For two months previous
to his death, up to the evening before he died, I
used to read to him more or less every day.
When he was able to sit up, he would sometimes
select a paper from his mail, and, after glancing
over it, he would select a particular article, and,
with his finger upon it, would hand me the pa
per and say, in his emphatic way, “Read that.”
Os course 1 read it to him. About a fortnight
before he died, a New York paper was sent to
him, marked. The paper was the New York In
dependent. I called his attention to the marked
article. He was laying on the bed, for he was
more unwell than usual. “Read it,’’ said Mr.
Calhoun. The article was headed, “Shall we
Compromise ?”
“It is a religious Abolition paper,” I remark
ed, “Read the article.” I read about forty lines
when I heard a movement in the bed, which at
tracted my attention, and I turned my head to
look at him, thinking lie wanted something.—
Those who vistited him during the last winter
he spent in Washington, will remember the
large sized room he occupied, and in w hich he
died. It had been used after the buiming of the
Capitol in 1815, for the United Senate Cham
ber. Mr. Calhoun’s bed was in one corner, and
1 used to do my writing, upon a little pine table
in the middle of the room, which, by the way,
was his favorite writing place % When l turned
my face toward the bed I found him sitting up,
his eyes flashing, and he was evidently excited
“Commence again and read the first part. What
paper is that's”
“The Independent .”
“That man understands the subject upon
w hich fie writes. Read on.”
I did so—frequently interrupted by his obser
vations—“He has got the true view of the sub
ject. Avery clever man, whoever he is.” Mr,
Clay should read that article.” After I had fin
ished reading it, he directed me to place it where
he could lay his hand upon it when he got
better.
[This article was an editorial written by Hen
ry Ward Beecher for the Independent. It at
tempted to show that there were radical differ
ences between the North and South which the
Clay Compromise nor any other could settle.—
The following is a single extract which shows
the spirit of it:
SHALL WE COMPROMISE ?
The day’s compromise has been violently re
sisted by tbeSoutn, and hut coldly looked upon
at the North. It is not that both sides are in
fatuated, and refuse a reasonable settlement, hut
the skill of Mr. Clay has evidently no’ touched
the seat of disease. He either has not perceiv
ed, or has not thought expedient to meet the re
al issues now before the people of the United
States. The struggle going on is a struggle
; whore depths lie in the organization of society,
I “n the North and South respectively ; whose
causes were planted in the constitution. There
are two incompatible and mutually destructive
principles wrought together in the govern
ment of this land. Hitherto, like Esau and Ja
cob, they have striven together in the womb.—
Now they are born, and that feud has begun
which shall drive the one or the other into the
wilderness. To attempt to settle a radical op
position of policy, by easing off the rub here
and there, leaving the great principles in full
vigor, is as if one should hang fenders and sand
bags along the sides of the hostile ships that
come crushing together, instead of putting the
helm about and going another track. Slavery
is right, and slavery is wrong ; slavery shall live
slavery shall die ; slavery shall extend, slavery
shall not extend. Are these conflicts to he set
tled by any mode of parcelling out certain ter
ritories? Now the battle rages at one point ;
by and by it will rage at another. These op
puguant elements, slavery and liberty, inherent
in our political system, animating our consitu
tion, checkering our public policy, breeding in
statesmen opposite principles of government,
and making our whole wisdom of public legis
lation on many of the greatest questions cross
eyed and contradictory, these elements are
seeking each other’s life. One or the other must
die.]
These are the points which mainly attracted
Mr. Calhoun’s great mind. It was a “war to
the knife” sort of writing which he liked from
an opponent, and was perfectly willing to give
him credit for understanding the subject. Mr.
Calhoun never knew who wrote that article.—
Had be lived to the tune of the production of
*Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” a glance at its pages
would have informed him who was the real au
thor of a work credited, very foolishly to the
sister of the gentleman who wrote. “Shall we
Compromise ?”
Os course, while Mr. Calhoun agreed perfect
ly as to the “seat of disease,” and that “these
elements were seeking each other’s life,” and
“that the collision was not of men but of prin
ciples and politicical institutions,’’ he drew a
very different conclusion from the one drawn
by Mr. Beecher, that the North would triumph.
Mr. Calhoun believed that the different polit
ical institutions of the North and South could
he compromised for anv length of time. Dut I
will assert still more.
I should be unfaithful to my own impressions
received long previously—aye, up to the very
evening before he died, if I was not to say that
he believed all such hopes—folly. He believed
that one or the other of the great antagonistical
elements of the North or South must die. He
knew it would not die in the South. He saw no
evidence of its dying in the North, and even
then and there, in the room where he was dying
with the sweat gathering last upon his pale brow,
he looked forward wit'll an almost prophetic
vision, through long of the future, and
saw aggression being made by the antagonists
of Southern interests, until the South herself
should see and feel that her existence could on
ly be sustained by a separation from a powerful
opponent, with which she could not cope while
iu the Union. His fears were that the South
would wait until it was too late.
“Papers sind p.arrnyt persons,’’ said he, “al
ways misrepresent my opinions, and place a
wrong construction upon even my speeches.—
They dread them, for they see that I cannot be
deceived with chaff. They know that I fully
appreciate, and don’t spare the mass of politi
cians, who have a total lack of patriotism.” All
that I state is with the severest regard to the
simple facts. Mr. Calhoun was a seer and a
prophet. He looked to the future—other men
only look to the present. Previous to his death
his mind was more and more convinced of the
uncertainty of the Union, no matter what was
done in reference to California or the Fugitive
Slave law. He did not consider laws about
them, however favorable to the South, as of any
advantage “with the aboltion sentiments gain
ing ground so rapidly in the Northern States
Ol what use, ten years hence, will be any laws
respecting slave property ? They will he a dead
letter—never practical. The South is unfortu
nately by too many men, who do not, cannot
appreciate her social position. Diametrically
opposed as are both sections, what good can
come from a Union, when a corrupt majority
are eternally trampling down a minority.”
“ The South may recover, and see her real po
sition in time, if she is not brought up by the
patronage of the general government; and the
North, too, are blind. They don’t see, that if
the South are forced to a separation to save
themselves, grass, would grow in the streets of
New York. The slave States are the produ
cing States—the source of the great wealth of
the Union. The exports of the slave States—
the cotton, tobacco, rice, sugar &c.—compared
with Northern exports, are as four to one.—
These exports, amounting to hundreds of millions
are returned in Northern ports, and the revenue
of the country appears to come from Northern
ports, when it is not so. It is duties from the re
turn of Southern exports. There is a lie on the
export and import statistics of the country.—
lhat is not all; while the South thus contrib
utes to the wealth of the North by the loan of
her capital, sharing in reality the great burthen
ot the revenue taxation, tiie government, equal
ly unjust, legislates away this extraordinary ac
cumulation of revenue upon the free States.
Very dollars are appropriated to the South, from
which is derived great revenue. How long will
this unjust and unequal state of things contin
ue ? It ought not to he allowed a moment; hut
it will probably continue until the North, over
grown and arrogant, will feel that she is pow
erful, and commence a direct attack upon the
institutions of the South, and then the South
will take her stand to save herself. Then the
South will understand my views and appreciate
my timely warnings.’’

Extracts from Tom Moore’s Journal.
The following interesting extracts are from
the volume of Moore’s Journal, just published
in London:
COOPER, THE AMERICAN NOVELIST.
27th.—Breakfasted at Roger’s to meet Coo
per the Americßn; Littleton and Lady Sarah,
and Lultrel, also of the party. Cooper very
agreeable. Anecdote of the disputatious man:
“Why, it is as plain as that two and two make
four.” “But I deny that too; for 2 and 2 make
twent-two.’’ Cooper said one thing which,
more from his manner than any thing else, pro
duced a great effect: Mentioning some friend
ofhis who had been well acquainted with Lady
11. Stanhope abroad, and who told him of his
having, on some particular occasion, stood be
side her on Mount Lebanon, when Cooper
came to the word “Mount,” he hesitated, and,
his eyes being fixed on me, added: “I was go
ing to say Mount Parnassus, looking at you.”
When Rogers, too, in talking of Washington
Irviiig’s “Columbus,” said, in his dry, significant
way: “It,s rather long.’’ Cooper turned round
[TERMS, $2 00 IN ADVANCE.
on him, and said sharply; “That’s a short criti
cism.”
SIR WALTER SCOTT.
November Ist.—Scott proposed to take me
to-day to the castle of Newark, a place of the
Duke of Buccleuch’s. Sat with him some time
in his study; saw a copy of the Moniteur there,
which he said he meant to give to the Advo-
Library when he was done with it. I
said, that what astonisned foreigners most was
the extent of his knowledge. “Ah, that sort of
knowledge (he answered) is very superficial.’’
I remarked that the manual labor alone of copy
ing out his works seemed enough to have occu
pied all the time he had taken in producing
them. “I write,” he answered, “very quick;
that comes of being brought up under an attor
ney.” Write chiefly in the morning, from
seven to kreakfast time; told me the number of
pages he could generally produce in the day,
but I do not accurately remember how much it
was.
* * Scott mentioned the contrast in the
behaviour of two criminals, whom ho had him
self seen ; the one a woman, who had poisoned
her husband in some drink, which she gave him
while he was ill ; the man not having the least
suspicion, but leaning his head on her lap, while
she still mixed more poison in the drink, as he
became thirsty and asked for it. The other a
man, who had made a bargain to sell a subject
(a young child) to a surgeon ; his bringing it at
night in a bag; the surgeon’s surprise at hearing
it cry out; the man then saying,“Oh you wanted
it dead, did you ?” and stepping behiud a tree
and killing it. The woman (who was brought
up to judgment with a child at her breast) stood
with the utmost calmness to hear her sentence;
while the man, on the contrary, yelled out, and
showed the most disgusting cowardice. Scott
added, that this suggested to him the scene in
“Marmiou.’’
SIDNEY SMITH.
27th.—Breakfasted at Roger’s: Sydney Smith,
Lord Cawdor, G. Fortescue, and Warburton.
Smith, full of comicality and fancy, kept us all
in roais of laughter. In talking of the stories
about dram drinkers catching fire, pursued the
idea in every possible shape. The inconveni
ence of a man coming too near the candle when
he was speaking, “sir, you* uUsd.ntion
caught fire.” Then imagined a parson break
ing into a blaze in the pulpit; the engines call
ed to put him out; no water to be had, the man
at the waterwork being a Unitarian or an athe
ist. Said of someone, “He has no command
over his understanding; it is always getting be
tween his legs and tripping him up” Left
Rogers’ with Smith to go and assist him in
choosing a grand piano forte: Found him (as I
have often done before,) changed at once from
the gay, uproarious way, into as solemn, grave,
and austere a person as any bench of judges or
bishops could supply ; this I rather think his
natural character. Called with at Newton’s, to
see my picture ; said, in his gravest manner, to
Newton, “Couldn’t you contrive to throw into
his face somewhat of a stronger expression of
hostility to the church establishment?’’ * *
BYRON AND KEAN.
Found out Mrs. Kean, to whom I wished to
put some vueries. Told mo about the presents
from Lord of a box and sword. The former
has on it a representation of a boar hunt, and
was presented by him to Kean after seeing him
in Richard 111. Byron offended at Kean’s leav
ing dinner, which had been chiefly made for
him, at which were B. himself, Lord Kinnaird,
and Douglas Kinnaiid. Kean pretended illness*
and went away early; but Byron found out af
terwards that he had gone to take the chair at
a pugilistic supper. 8., after this, would not
speak to Kean. He was, however, so delighted
with his acting in Sir Giles Overreach, that,
notwithstanding all this, he presented to him,
immediately after seeing him this character, a
very handsome Turkish sword, with a Damascus
blade. Sent him £SO at his benefit.
The Soule Duels.
Marquis of Turgot, the French Embassador
who fought with Mr. Soule, Sen., has been rais
ed to the dignity Grand Officer of the Le
gion of Honor. It was reported that the dec
oration was conferred as an approval of his con
duct in the Soule affair, but the correspondence
of the London Morning Post says that Napole
on reprimanded Turgot for accepting the duel
and that the decoration—which was bestowed
as a testimonial of his diligence in the Interna
tional Copywright Treaty—was withheld from
him fifteen days, as a warning not to fight with
American Ministers in future.
Mr. Soule, Jr., has addressed a letter to the
Bayonne paper which contained what he con
siders an unfair account of the circumstances
of his duel with the Duke of Alba. He writes:
“You say that my quarrel with the Duke of
Alba took its rise in some remarks in some pleas
entries upon the toilet of Madame Soule, ex
changed between the Duke of Alba and the
Embassador of France ; and you speak with a
sort of solemnity of the very particular interest
which has been taken in the affair by the Em
peror of the French. It may be well that, in
spite of the aversion which your correspondents
seem to have for truth, it has happened to them
in this case at least, and no doubt through inad
vertence to render it an involuntary homage.
What they tell you in this respect has indeed
obtained some credit here, and at any rate,
gives a determined character 1 o the causes and
object of the offense done to my mother. But
this point I abandon to 3’on, seeing that it can
not cause to me the least anxiety. As regards
all, except the two assertions of which 1 have
just spoken, I repeat, there is not one word of
truth in what your correspondents make you
say. It was from the mouth of the Duke of Al
ba alone that the remark reached my ears,
which caused me to demand of him satisfaction
by a stern aud peremptory letter. This remark
you say, was only an innocent pleasantry upon
the toilet of Madame Boule, the eccentric taste
of whose dress had been noticed by the whole
company. This is an aversion which comes
too late after the one of which you have made
3 T ourself the complaisant interpreter. The dress
of my mother had nothing to do with the insult
which was thrown upon her. Her toilet, which
consisted of a dress of velvet, from the hands
of Md’lle. I’almyre, was that of a woman
of taste, and of good society, who knows
how to umte that regard which the exigencies of
the world command, with the respect° which a
lady owes to herself.”
“\ou say that I caused to be waited
ior on the ground, after having demanded and
obtained a delay’ of 48 hours. I did not demand,
and consequently did not obtain any delay. I
arrived on the ground at the same time with the
Dukeoi Alba, and the place of meeting, fivo
minutes before the hour agreed upon.
“You say that I was followed by six carriages
full of Y ankees, who reside at Madrid. I was
followed only by one servant and by the car
riage which contained my father, my physician,
Number 7.
