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.’’ Joseph A. Scoville. 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.
