Lints at By Sisters Graveyard. BY MAJOR G. W. PATTEN. Beside the dewy grave I pass, (A fresh and flowery mound,) Sunlight is glancing on the grass, And the red breast chirps around, While from afar the city’s hum Steals gently on the ear: And yet for me is Nature dumb! Thy voice I cannot heai. Tliou told’st me, from a distant land, I ne’er should be forgot: I come—e’en at thy side I stand— And yet thou heats't me not. Where are those accents which were heard So soft on music's breath ? Sister!—I hear no answering word, Is this!—yea! THIS is death! Beside my Father’s aged form They’ve laid thee breast to breast, Too bitter was the world’s bleak storm, But both are now at rest. In life united—Oh! with such Affection undefil’d! In death 'tis well their coffins touch— The Father and the Child. Tliou Sisier, had’st but little strength To thread life’s thorny track: So calmly dost thou sleep at length, 'Twere sin (o wish thee back; The music of thy gentle tone Tiio’ to my bosom dear, And tho’niy heart is sad and lone, I would not have thee here. For me is still life's stirring tide— The battle and the storm— The wave where warring navies ride— The field where squadrons form! But thou, with no long watch to keep— No dream at morn to tell— Freed one!—Thine is an envied sleep! Sweet Sister! Fare thee well! We clip the following little poetic gem from the Home Journal. It is from tho pen of VV. L. Shoe maker: There is a little bird that sings— “Sweetheart!” I know not what his name may be: I only know his notes please me, As loud he sings—and thus sings he— “So eel heart!’, I’ve heard him sing on soft spring days— “Sweetheart;’’ And when the sky was dark above, Ami wintry winds bad stripped the grove, lie still poured forth those words of love— “Sweetheart!” And, like that bird, my heart, too, sings— “Sweetheart!” When Heaven is dark, or bright and blue, When trees are are hare, or leaves are new, It;thus sings ou—and sings of you— “Sweetheart ;,’ Wh at need of other words tiian these — “Sweetheart If I should sing a whole year long, My love would not be shown more strong Than by tins short aud simple song— “Sweetheart!” ARYOLO'K WRITING: FLUID.

[The following most touching fragment of a letter from a dying wife to her hus band, was found by him some months after her death between the leaves of a religious volume which she was very fond of peru sing. The letter which was literally dim with tear marks, was written long before her husband was aware that the grasp of fatal disease had fastened upon the love ly form of his wife, who died at the early age of nineteen:] When this shall reach your eye, dear George, some day when you are turning over the relics of the past, I shall have past away forever, and the cold, white stone will be keeping its lonely watch over the lips you have so often pressed, and the sud will be growing green that shall hide forever from your sight tlie dust of one who has often nestled close to your warm heart. For many long and sleepless nights, when ali besides my thoughts were at rest 1 have wrestled with the conscious ness of approaching death, until at last it has formed itself upon my mind; and al though to you and others it might now seem but the nervous imagining of a girl, yet, dear George, it is so! Many weary nights have I have passed in the endeavor to reconcile myself to leaving you, whom 1 love so well, and this bl ight world of sunshine and Beauty; and hard indeed it is to struggle on silently and alone with the sure con viction that I am about to leave all for ever and go down into the dark valley! “But 1 know in whom I have believed,” and leaning on his arm, “I fear no -evil.” Go not blame me for keeping even all this from you. How could I subject you, of all others, to such sorrow as 1 feel at part ing, when time will soon make it apparent to you! I could have wished to live if only to he at your side when your time shall come, and pillowingyour head npon- my breast, wipe tin' death damps from your brow, and usher your departing spir it into its .Maker’s presence, embalmed in woman’s holiest prayer. But is not to be —and I submit. Y’ours is the privilege of watching, through long aud dreary nights, for the spirit’s final fiiglit, and of transferring my sinking head from your breast to my Savior’s bosom. And you shall share my last thought and the last faint pressure of the hand and the last fee ble' kiss shall be yours, and even when flesh and heart shall have failed me, my eyes shall rest on yours until glazed by death; and our spirits shall hold one last communion until gently fading from my view—the last of earth—you shall mingle with tlie first bright glimpses of the unfa ding glories of the better world, where partings arc unknown. Well do I know tfip spot, my dear George, whore you will lay me; often ive stood by the place, and as we watched the mellow sun-set as it glanced in quivering flashes through the leaves, and burnished the grassy mounds around us with stripes of burnished gold, each, perhaps, has thought that some day one of ns would come alone, and which ever it might be, your name would be on the stone. But we loved tho spot, and I know you will love it none the less when you see the same quiet sun-light linger and play among the grass that grows over your Mary’s grave. 1 know you will go there, and my spirit will be with you then, and whisper among tlie waving branches—“1 am not lost, but gone before.” We support the C’rittenden-Montgomery amendment because we feol sure that its success will rescue Kansas from mis-gov- erument and oppression, ami bring her speedily into the Union a free Stale.— N. Y. Tribu/te. We commend this paragraph to Messrs. Crittenden ami Marshall and their south ern confederates in Congress. It will doubtless prove ontirely agreeable to their feelings to learn that the scheme which they bavo set on foot for abolitionizing Kansas is altogether acceptable to Greely and his party. Their constituents, how ever. will hardly tike it so kindly. Even the kuoiv-notliing portion of them, thor oughly as they may hate the democracy, aud blindly as they have heretofore fol lowed their loaders, are far from being willing to join Seward & Co., in their crusade against the constitution and the South. They will find that tho compli ments which they received from their ne gro-shrieking allies for their sacrifices in the cause of “freedom” will be but a poor compensation for the indignation that will be heaped upon them at home. It is for friends and votes that they are striving, but they will soon find that such compli ments will not make them either among the good men of the country. i Hint frtr the Ladies. An exchange paper has a bit of advice to youug ladies, setting forth how they may know whether a young gallant is real ly courting them, or only paying them po lite attentions. The confounding the one with the other has been the source very much trouble both before and since the era of Pickwick and Bardeli. A young man admires a young girl and must manifest it. He can’t help doing so for the life of him. The young lady has a tender heart, reaching out like tendrils for something to cling to. She sees the admiration; is flattered, begins to love; expects some tender avowal, and perhaps gets so far as to decide that she will choose a “white silk under that gauze, etc,” at the very moment that the gallant she halt loves, is popping the question to another damsel ten miles off. Now the difficulty lies not in precisely understanding the difference between “po lite attention” aud the tender manifesta tions of love. Admiring a beautiful wo man and wishing to make a wife of her are not always the same thiug, and therefore it is necessary that the damsel should be on the alert to discover to which class the' attentions paid her by handsome and fash ion ible young man belong. First then, if a young man greets you injoudfree hearty tones; if he knows pre cisely where to put his hands; stares you straight in the eyes, with his mouth open; if he turns his back to speak to another; ifho tells you who made his coat; if he eats heartily in your presence, if he fails to talk very kindly to your mother; if, in short he sneezes when you are singing, criticises your curls, and fails to he foolish every hour, then don’t fall in love with him for the world! He only admires you, let him say what he will to the contrary. Ou the other hand, if he is merry with every body else, but quiet with you; if lie be anxious to see if your tea is sufficiently sweetened and your dear person xvrapped up when you go out into the cold; if he talks very low and never looks you stead ily in the eye; if his cheeks are read and nose only blushes, it is enough. If he romps with your sister, sighs like a pair of old bellows, looks solemn when you are addressed by another gentleman, and in fact is the most still, awkward, stupid yet envious of all your male friends, you may go ahead, and make the poor fellow too happy for his skin to hold him Y oung ladies! keep your hearts in a ease of good leather, or some other tough sub stance, until the right one is found without a doubt, after which you can go on and love, court and lie married, and be happy without the least bit of trouble. We considet this advice so sensible that although it is open to the charge of blunt ness, we have no hesitation in pressing it upon tlie attention of our lady readers. Elephants in. India—Their Intelligence —.4 Court Martial Punishment, &fc.—A Calcutta correspondent of the New York Commercial Advertiser, in giving an ac count of a visit to Barrackpore, says: “YYe saw the recently-arrived elephants from Burmab; they looked in good con dition. There were ninety of them atthe stables, and many were traveling about through the different streets and road. I had a short ride upon one of the largest, who kneeled down to enable me to mount him, and some of them made us a salaman with their trunks when told to do so by their keeper, or‘mahout,’as the driver is called. They are inteligent animals. A story was told me of a number of ele phants in one of the Mofussil districts.— One of them had committed a fault in refusing to carry a slight additional burden, when told by the mahout that lie would get extra grog for it. He was tried by court-martial in the presence of twenty of bis elephantine brethren and convicted, and on the keepers reading the sentence all raised their trunks in ac knowledgement of its justice! Another was appointed to flog him, which he did by giving him fifty lashes with a long chain twined about his trunk, and the cul prit received the whole meekly, well know ing he deserved it! They are very cun ning as to weighing their food with their trunks when on a march, and if there is an ounce short they discover it, and insist on the regular allowance. Y^hen travelling they each have a gallon of grog a day, just as sailors and soldiers have their glass. These animals were at Barrackpore re cruiting after the voyage, and were soou to he sent up country to do service in Eng land’s cause.” Exploration of tlie A moor Uiver by an Ameri can. Mr. Collins, the American consul of the Amoor liver, recently obtained permission of the Russian Government to explore it, and lie has sent to tho Government at Washington the results of his observa tions: Hr. Collins states that the whole of this liver, for a distance of two thousand six hundred miles, is susceptible of steam navigation, and the country drains by the Amoor has a population of about five millions There are already four vessels trading from San Francisco to the Amoor, two from Bostou, and twofiom Iiong Kong —the latter being owned by American houses. The Russian Government is rap idly extending its dominions in the Amoor country, and the last year two iron stem- ers, built in Philidelphia for the Russians, were shipped around Cape Horn and put up at the mouth of the Amoor, for the pur pose of trade and exploration. Mr. Col lins states that the Russian Government desires that tlie Americans should have all the advantages of the great trade of this new country, and hold out every induce ment fur that purpose. After reaching the mouth of the Amoor, the theatre of his councilshin, ho thought he had discovered so many facts of great importance to the commerce of the United States that lie de termined to return immediately aud re port to his Government. The report which he has made to the Secretary of State occupies some 250 pages of closely written manuscript, and is a condensed acfcouut of the country- in the vicinity of the navigable waters of tlie Amoor, its population, trade, products, &c., as well as suggestions as to the proper articles of commerce v. hicb our people may export there with profit. We regret to, learn the fact that the dwelling of Mr. Robert R. Howard, resi ding five miles in the country, was burnt with its entire contents, on Tuesday night last. Mr. Howard 1 eing absent on a visit to Carolina, his wife had gone to Columbus, Ga., to meet him, and leaving no white person up >u tho premises for some days past; it was doubtless set on fire, and sus picion rests upon some negroes in that sec tion.—Eufaula Native, 15 th inst. Quite a number of women, must of them old maids, have issued a call for convention, stating their object to be “to gain a true knowledge of the nature and attributes .of men.” Wo respectfully suggest to them that they are not going the right way to work. They will never find out the secret that way. From the Washington Union. California. Wc give below an interesting postcript of a letter received by a gentleman of this city from bis friend now on a business visit to California. It gives a clear and strik ing view of the gulden State, and presents many interesting facts concerning its soil, climate and mineral wealth, that we have not heretofore met with. Notes, Observations and Queries I agreed to give you briefly my impres sions of this portion of our country, the characteristics of its people, its present and prospective condition, productions, &c. The climate.—This has surprised me very much. I was prepared to find it milder by far than in the corresponding latitudes in the Atlantic States. This is clearly correct, but the climate of San Francisco is an exception to that of any portion of the world ,so far as I am in formed. In this opinion I think you will concur, if not already fully informed upon the subject, upon an examination of the annexed statement. I have before me an authentic table, from which I am enabled to determine and give you the mean temperature in that city at sunrise and noon, and the mean and extremes for each year, from 1851 to 1856, inclusive. During that period, the mean temperature for each month at sunrise ranged from forty-one to fifty-five, aud at noon from fifty-two to seventy-one degrees. The greatest degree of cold in the six years was twenty-five degrees, or seven below the freezing point. This may be set down as nearly the extreme of cold ever felt here. In three of the years the mercury did not fall to the freezing point. In 1853, the lowest point was eight degrees above freezing—the extreme of heat was ninety-eight degrees. This occurred in September, 1S52, with which exception it lias not risen above ninety, degrees, and is a very unusual temperature lor San Fran cisco, though much below the greatest heat in tho interior. In l c 51, the highest temperature was eightv-four degrees; and in 1856, the temperature did not rise above eighty-five degrees. The rainy season.—This commences in December, and may bo said to terminate in March. During the first, more rain falls usually than in any subsequent month. A marked abatement is observable from the middle of January to the middle of February. One-third of the average yearly rains falls before the first of January, one- third in January and February, and the remaining third subsequent to the first of March. No rain falls usually from the first of May to the first of December. This will give you a slight idea of “the rainy season,” but I think there is scarcely any expression which conveys to the people of the Atlantic States such an erroneous im pression. During this season it is believed generally to rain most of the time, the balance to be gloomy, dark and cold—the sun obscured and the horizon overcast with impenetrable clouds, mists, and dark va pors, accompanied with chilling and pierc ing winds. This, however, is very far from being correct. The wind at this season of the year seldom blows strong enough to become annoying, and is never chilling. The temperature, as will have been seen, is extremely equable, and w r ith reasonable protection a person’s feet never get cold, although for hours engaged in passing over damp pavements, and muddy streets. Twice only during the last ten years has snow fallen in the streets of San Francisco in sufficient quantities to be visible upon the streets. The sun is unobscured and the o&y clear a great portion of the time. During the year 1S56 the sun shone brightly 18 days in Decem ber, 15 days in January, 23 days in Feb ruary, 21 days in March, and 20 in April. Durrng the same months it rained 12 days in December, 11 days in January, 2 in February. 5 in March, and 8 in April. During the balance of those months there was more or less mist or clouds overhang ing the horizon. The weather when clear during this season is indeed delightful, resembling more closely the Indian sum mers in the District of Columbia, Eastern Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia than any other portion of the year in the At lantic States. From this cause alone this city will be made the winter residence of a vast number from the Eastern States when its climate becomes better understood by our people, and the facilities of reaching hero improved by the construction of a railroad, and of a better class of steamers upon this important line of communica tion. The productions of this State, not less than its climate, are by far the most re markable, although but in their infancy, of any of the great States of this confederacy. It produces in abundance and in great per fection all the cereal grains, fruits, aud vegetables of the temperate latitudes. Grains are produced in many instances, crop after crop, without resowing. It is a fact clearly authenticated, that the filth crop of barley, taken from a field of fifty acres, from a single sewing, five years previous, in the country of Santa Clara, in the’year 1856, averagi 1 a yield per acre of forty-three bushels. Roots and vege tables generally, grow during the winter months in the open air. New potatoes, beets, carrots, cabbages, green peas, toma toes, turnips, squashes, salads, &c., are now abundant in this market. In a large section of the southern portion of the State, cotton, rice, tobacco, and sugar are culti vated with success and profit, while the fig, the almond, the olive, and the orange are produced—the latter in great abundance and of a quality unsurpassed. The grape, in almost every portion of State, grows and produces to an extent and in perfection unequalled in any portion of the world— single clusters have been knowu to weigh over ten pounds. Horses, cattle, sheep, and stock of all kinds, live, thrive, and increase as well, if not better than in any other portion of the country—and this, ton, without requiring either housing or feeding during any part of the year, gathering their food unpro tected, throughout the year from the hills and valleys of this much-favored country. May we not say that this State is un equalled in an agricultural point of view? But this view is greatly strengthened when yon consider, in this connexion, the vast extent of its mining interests. No mining country except this sustains by its own productions its mining population. This State, with all the above advan tages, even now produces annually in gold a hundred millions of dollars, and this, too, when,its quartz-mining—the great permanent mining interest of the State is but in its infancy. At the present prices of labor in this State quartz must pay not less than eight dollars per ton to pay for crushing; i» many parts of the world it pays at even less than two dol lars. What must be the gold production of this State w hen the price of labor shall make it profitable to work quartz of that value? Look for a moment at the geographical position of this State and city, and sea if there are not strong reasons, dedncable from that, as well as from the conformation of this cost, for believing that this city will at no distant day rival in commercial im portance. wealth, and population any city upon the Atlantic borders. In the first place, this State itself has a seacoastupon the Pacific equivalent, and corresponding, to the Atlantic coast, from Boston to Charleston—ihe seacoast of the States of Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connectiuct, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina; whilst a glance at this coast will satisfy you that this bay forms the only harbor adapted in any degree to a large foreign commerce between the Islands of tlie Isthmus and Puget Sound. All others are of small capacity, difficult of access, rendered dangerous in most cases by shoals and breakers, anil with nothing in the confor mation of the coast to indicate to tho master of a foreign vessel their locality or designate their entrance from the balance of the coast. Here we have a harbor capable of containing in security the com mercial fleets of the w r orld, with a capacious and usually safe entrance, clearly and boldly marked upon the coast. W T hat say you to all this? Nous verrons. Yorth, the Scottish Spurgeon—Aa Amateur Play-actor and Sportsman Turned Clergy man—His Crimes and his Preaching—his Godly Servant. Glasgow, March 5, 1S58. In the early part of the year our city enjoyed the ministrations of Mr. Brown- low North, a lay gentleman of indepen dent means, who has devoted himself to the preaching of the gospel. He is an Episcopalian, but addresses all who choose to listen to him wherever he finds an open door. His object is to deliver the simple gospel message, which he does with over powering earnestness. He speaks with fluency and even elegance, makes no at tempt at exegetical preaching, says that he has but one doctrine to expound and enforce, and disavows the ministerial char acter and authority. But such is the fer vor of his earnestness, that the largest edifice in town was not capable of contain ing the multitudes who flocked to bear him, from the highest to the lowest; nor were two addresses on Sabbath sufficient to meet the demands upon his ministra tions, which were continued throughout the week. Our Presbyterian ministers of the Free Church and United Presbyteri an Church, aud one of tlie Established Clergy, admitied him to their pulpits; and the ministers of all our churches re ceived from the example of this good man a lesson on the importance of earnest preaching. Many inquirers who bad been awakened by the addresses of Mr. North visited and conversed with him during the week. His visit, there is reason to be lieve, was productive of much spiritual good. This gentleman, a few days ago, was a terrible reprobate. He had a shoot ing lodge in the Highlands; where he in dulged in very loose and profligate prac tices. After his conversion he devoted his labors as a Christian man exclusively to those districts where he had formerly ren dered himself most notorious and obnox ious by bis profligacy. In his expressions of self-reproach, which of course must be taken with considerable limitation, he has repeatedly declared that he had beeu guilty of all the sins in the decolugue, ex cept murder. Mr. North is no fanatic. He is a calm-ininded man, thoroughly imbued with a Christian principle, and profoundly impressed with a sense of the duty laid upon him of making known the great salvation. I heard him address about three thousand people, who were admitted by ticket to the City Hall, and the effect of his simple and earnest plead ings was very impressive and memorable. No preaching, I dare say. since the days of Whitfield, has produced such a powerful effect upon the popular mind as this re markable man’s addresses; and their pow er lies not in their logical structure, but in their earnestness. A friend of mine, who has seen Mr. North in his wild days on the stage as an ameteur player, ones dined in his Highland lodge along with a gay party. The wine was circling freely, and a High land boy, whom Mr. North liadengaged as a domestic servant, came in with a fresh supply of liquor; and in sitting it before his master, whispered something to him, upon which North instantly withdrew from the table and took a cigar, refusing to indulge longer in his cups. Turning to my informant, he said, “P ■, that boy is a Christian ; I could trust him with un told gold.” Whether that poor Highland boy’s humble influence as a child of God was instrumental in touching the wicked he*rt of liis master, my friend could not tell. But on the occasion referred to, his warning whisper arrested North in his bacchanalian career, and probably he was in the habit of using the same liberty with his master on other festive occasions.—Cor. of the Presbyterian Herald. Singular (’irramstanee. On the 23 ultimo, a passenger came to Portland by the steamer Anglo Saxon, aud took lodging at one of the city hotels. Next morning he took the cars for this city in company with a gentleman who had remained at the same house with him over night, with whose countenance, he somehow or other imagined himself famil iar. They got into conversation in coming down the Eastern railroad, but nothing transpired to elicit the fact whether or not they had been old acquaintances. When they arrived at the depot, and had atten ded to their luggage, one of them inquired in the hearing of the other for a cab to take him to a certain street in Charlestown. The other said he purposed going to the same street, and they engaged the same conveyance. On arriving at the street in question it appeared that they both designed to call on the same individual. This strange series of coincidence greatly puz zled both; but their mutual surprise and delight can be imagined but in a degree when they had thus singularly met at the house of a third brother. One of them has been in the service of the Pacha of Egypt for 22 years, the other has spent 16 years in the East Indies, while the third has been in this country during 19 years past. The brothers are natives of Scotland, and have not seen each other for 24 years.— Boston Ledger, March 9. Culture of Violets.—Tlie cultivation of the violet is very simple. It may easily be increased by dividing the roots in the spring or fall, and also by layers and pip ings. j.0 obtain now varieties, the seeds from the best sorts should be gathered as they become ripe, and sown directly 11 The plants will appear in about fourteen days those of the spring sowing will bloom in autumn, and autumn plants in the spring; and if they are protected from the summer’s sun after HI o’clock in the fore noon, they will continue to bloom until the frost becomes severe. Indeed, this lovely little flower possesses the quality of blooming while the coming frosts of la ter autumn have put most other plants to sleep for the winter, and it is sometimes seen, in a moderate winter, partially cov ered with snow, with its buds ready form ed to usher in young spring.—Buffalo Republic. _ A Georgia Bride.—Miss Sallie Toornha, only daughter and heir of the Hon.
