Written in the Deepdene Album. BY WASHINGTON IRVING, Thou record of the votive throng. That fondly seek this fairy shrine, And pay the tribute of a song Where worth and loveliness combine— What boots that I, a vagrant wight From clime to clime still wanderiug on, Upon thy friendly page should write— Who’ll think of me when I am gone? Go plough the water, and sow the sand; Throw seed to every wind that blows ; Along the highway strew thy hand, And fatten on the crop that grows. For even thus # the man that roams On heedless hearts his feeling spreads ; Strange tenant of a thousand homes, And friendless with ten thousand friends! Yet here, for once, I’ll leave a trace, To ask in aftertimes a thought; To say that here a resting-place My waywonl heart has fondly sought. So the poor pilgrim heedless strays, Unmoved, through many aregion fair; ’ But at some shrine his tribute pays. To tell that he has worshipped there. June 24, 1822. Edward Everett. .Edward Everett, the Union candidate for Vice Pressident, was born in Dorches ter, Massachusetts, April 7, 1764. His fn'ht-r, the. Rev. Oliver Everett, was the predecessor of Pi “sideut Kirkland as pas tor of the New Soufh Church in Boston, and was afterwards Judge of the Court of Common Fleas in Norfolk county. Massa chusetis. Edward Everett entered Har vard College in 1807, at the saily age of thirteen, and was graduated in course in 1811, with the highest honors, in a class containing more than the average amount of ability. For some time after grad uating he was employed in his Alma Mater as a tutor, at the same time pursuing hir studies in divinity, the profession which he had selected. In 1812 he delivered a spirited poem before the Phi Beta Kappa Society on American poets. In 1813 he was settled as pastor over the Brattle street church in Boston. In 1811 he pub lished several works on religious subjects, and in this year he was chosen Professor of Greek literature ii Harvard College. With a view of qualifying himself for the duties of his post, he ente.ed upon an ex tended course of European study and travel, leaving home in the spring of 1815, nud passed two years at the famous Uni versity of Gottingen, engaged in the study of the German language and the branches of learning connected with this department. Ho passed the winter of 1817-T9 at Paris. The next spring he again visited London, ami passed a few weeks at Cam bridge anu Oxford. In the autumn of 1818 he returned to the Continent, and divided the winter between Florence. Rome and Naples, in the spring ot 1819 he made a short tour in Greece; returned home in the same year, and entered upon the duties of his professorship. During his residence ! iu Europe ‘’is range ot sti dy embraced ’ the ancient classics thy mouern languages, ‘ the history and principles ot public law as then proiesscd in the German universities, and a comprehensive examination of the existing political system ot Europe. Si multaneous with his professorship he t edited ! the North American lteuew, which he conducted till 1824. lie also found time to prepare and publish a translation of “Buttuian’s Greek Grammar.” Mr.— Everett's public life began iu 1824, when ho was nominated and elected to Congress by the constituency of the district iu which he resided. His nomination was made without him being consulted, and was a spontaneous movement on the part of the young men of his district, without distinct ion of party. He was a supporter of John Quincy Adams, then just elected ’'resident ot the United States. Mr. Everett served ten years iu Congress, and during the whole period he was a member ot the Committee on Foreign Affairs, perhaps the most important one at that time iu the House ot Representatives, lathe Twen tieth Congress he was Chairman of that Committe. In the Nineteenth Congress, though then just elected to the House, and the youngest member of the committee, be drew the celebrated report on the Panama mission. He was chairman during Mr. Adam's Presidency in the Georgia con troversy, and was always zealous and promineut in his efforts to secure good treatment to the Indians. During his Con gressional career he displayed a thorough knowledge of the politics of the country and the wants of the whole Union, and the speeches always engaged the moot profound attention. In the nutuiun of 1834 he de clined a re-iiouiiiiation to Congress, as his political friends were desirous of presenting his name as candidate for the office of Gov ernor, to which be was chosen by a large maji rity in the ensuing election. He was afterwards reelected, holding the executive office four years. His administration was dignified, useful and popular. In the au tumn of 1839, after mi. animated struggle, he wks defeated in auother contest for the EbeinathrUl chair, by Marcus Morton, a majority of one vote. Iu 1840 he ■ailed for Europe with his family, and remained abroad for five years, four of which he passed as ai American Minister GREENKSBORO’, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 18G0. at the Court of St. James During the pe riod of lus mission some delicate questions, of which that of the Northeastern boun dary and the McLeod case wpre the most prominent, threatened tile pacific relations of the United States and Great Britain/ and to their amicable adjustment the firm ness and diplomacy of our Minister largely contributed. The case of the Creole, and questions connected with Oregon and Tex as. were also elements of irritation. He procured at various times, and in the face ot great obstacles, the release from penal colony of Van Diemati’s Laud of sixty or seventy American citizen’s con victed of participation in the Canada re bellion. The space allotted to this sketch will not allow us y> enumerate further the invaluable services ot Mr. Everett while our Minister at England. Suffice it to say, his course was of the most diguified character, in the spring of 1543 lie was appointed to till the newly constituted commission to China, with a view to es tablish commercial relations with that country, which honorable trust he was com pelled to decline. Upon his return to this country, in 1845, he was chosen President of Harvard Univertity ; but his impaired healtn compelled him to resign his post at the end of three years. In ISSO he was called upon by the President to fill the vacaut Secretaryship of State made vacant by the death of Mr. Webster. He held the office during the last four months ot Millard Fillmore’s administration. The condition of the public business made them months of most severe labor. Among the important matteis that demanded his con sideration were those relating to the Ores cent City steamer, Labes islands, and the negotiations pertaining to the fisheries; he concluded an international copyright convention wi:h Great Brilian, and a Con sular convention with France, and review ed the whole subject of Central American affairs in their relations to this government and Gieat Britian, and induced Congress to establish a mission of the first class to Central America. But the question that attracted most of the. public interest dur- : ing Mr. Everett’s admin.siiation ot the Department of State was the joint pn.po sition ol Great Britain and. France to enter with the United States into a tripartite convention, guaranteeing to Spam in per petuity the exclusive possession of Cuba. This proposition war declined by the Uni ted States, in a diplomatic note of great ability drawn up by Mr. Everett. Before leaving the Department of Suite Mr. Ev erett was elected by the Legislature of Massachusetts to the Senate of the United States, took his seat iu that body at the commencement of the special executive session in March, 1553, and made an elab oiate speech on the Central American question. Such is a brief outline of Mr. Everett’s career. Though past the age of sixty-four, lie is sti.l m the full vigor of his manhood. Those who remember his oratory thirty years ago recognize in it, the. same fire and energy that charmed j them at that period, refined amt chastened by the long practice and familiarly with all ; classes of auditors. It is rare to find a man who lias led so laborious a life, displaying, after years of toil, so keen an interest in , every movement of lile and affairs. Though classed among the conservative men of the country, he is the eloquent advocate of ra tional progress in every form of social de velopment. Opinions of the Press iu Regard to the Nomination of the Constitutional U niou Parly at Baltimore. The high approbation of the. nomina tion as expressed by the appended Union Presses, is doubtless the unanimous opin ion ot all the Union Presses. We accept with pleasure, says the Col bus Enquirer, the nomination of these dis tinguished gentlemen for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency, by the National Union Convention. Had we bevii able to make a selection best suited to our owu views, we might have chosen others; but we are satisfied that these are the best nominations that will be made by any par ty, and we very cheerfully give them our humble but hearty support. The Thotuasviile Enterprise says : We do not think the party could have done better, and we hoist their names to our mast head determined, if they accept, to do all tho battle iu our p*wer for the triumph of the Constitution and the Union under the leadership of Bell and Everett. In this spirit we shall call upon all lovers of the Coustitutiou and the Union, without regard to past party ties to rally to the support of men in every way qualified to rule, anu above all, sincerely devoted to the good ot their Country. The LuGruiige Reporter observes : We placo these names at our mast head this week. We accept the nomination with congratulations. We believe that two more patriotic, public spirited gentle men could uot have been selected for the two highest offices within the gift ot the people, than the two whose names we in scribe 4,n our baliner to-day. The Nashville Banner thus gives vent to its fee'ing in regard to the Baltimore nomination tor the r esidency: The newt just reached us from Balti more of tbo nomination of Tennessee's ! greatest son, the Hon. John Bell, fur Pres- ’ ident of these United States. Even while we write the bells of the city are pealing, and the boom of the cannon reverberates among the surrounding hills, and the whole people are rejoicing. The Hruly National platform adopted by the Balti more Conservative Union Convention was. ‘The Constitution as it is interpreted by its judicial authorities; the union of the States: and the enforcement, of the laws.’ The announcement will be hailed by the masses throughout the Union with a pa triotic enthusiasm, and the name of John Bell will be echoed fiom Maine to Califor nia, to the terror of the enemies of the Constitution and the Union. The Louisville Journal of the lltli, thus hails the nomination of John Bell anil Edward Everett, by the Baltimore Con vention : The telegraph announces that the Bal timore Union Convention yesterday nom inated the Hon. John Bell, of Tennessee, for the Presidency, on the second ballot. We ratify this nomination with our whole heart. It is a nomination eminently “fit to be made.” John Bell is worthy to be the President of tho United Stales. And we are not without an aspiring hope that lie will be. From the London Times, May 3. The Irish Exodus to the United States. The Irish emigration still continues at a rate which threatens results far beyond the calculations ot the economist, perhaps even the wishes of the statesman. It is no longer the overflow of a vessel full to repletion, but the operation of a syphon which drains to the very bottom. If that syphon may he regarded in any visible form, it is the railway system, which in the eyes of every Irishman appears to have one cominou terminus across the At lantic. He sees trains of hopeful, if not happy faces, going off to the Land ot Prom ise, from which friends, and relations have sent net only invitations, but the moans of accepting them. A train starts to catch an emigrant vessel as regularly as in Eng- I land to catch a steamer across the chan nel. Ihe emigrant ships have no longer to peep into every little port to pick up their passengers. They assemble at Cork, and puss in a continuous stream, if it may be. so called, across that ocean which, wile as it be, is easier to an Irishman than the gulf which divides him from England. At present it cannot be said that there leaves Ireland as much as the natural increase, but the causes iu operation are not unlike ly to make it exceed that rate. A’ the small holdings are thrown into larger, at?d the farm grows to the English scale, there must be numbers everywhere bred to the occupation <lf land, and with all the ideas adapted to it, hut unable to get holdings that require little or no capital. They go across the Atlantic as a matter ot course. Brothers, uncles, and neighbors hare gate long before, and send, not on/// good news, but the substantial pledge of its truth tn the shape of orders on Irish banks. In Ireland the remark is that these are welcome to go. They aro the Irish surplus. They constitute the store house of independent enterprise which Provi leoce would seein to have prepared through long ages for the peopling of the New World But there is a class that are not bid ‘ God speed” quite so cheerfully. Laborers—that is, when with strong siuewsand thews, who can do a good day’s work and are content to receive wages, are, as they always have been, the chief wan’ of Ireland. The new race of fanners do not like to see them go. But who can pick and choose in human affairs? There are good, easy souls, who enter life with this speculation, who expect in everything the fruit without the husk, thg meat with out the bone, the sweet without the sour, the harvest without the tillage. Iti Ire land they expect a good faun, a good house, a good landlord and some good la borers, who shall coine when wanted and do a good day’s work. But the postman knocks at all doors, and brings to these, as well as their prouder neighbors, letters and remittances and good accounts from the Western States; so off’ they go, leav ing the new tenant farmers to manage as well as they e n. If this goes on long, as j it is likely to go on, Ireland will become very English and Iks United States very Irish. The Value aod Usefulness o"f Railroads. Mr. Milner, in his late report survey, ex emplifies the value and usefulness of rail roads as follows : “In 1837. I was engaged on the Georgia .State road, just then commenced. I there became acquainted with the people along the road, their habits and their means. Be yond their actual wants for food, they rais ed nothing at all. The men moped around nnd shot at a mark. The women seemed to do but little ; whilst their children. p4ior ly cared for, saunteied about from place to Claee, as if their highest thoughts were ent on catching rabbits, opossum*, or some such small game. What was the use of working, when it would cost them two dol lars per bushel to gt their wheat to mar ket, and then get only one ? “Iu 1857 I went back again, and what a change! The rivers were the same—the Keiiesaw Mountain had not changed—the ; Crooked ttpoon’slid rolled tlong—the men * end women that onee 1 knew were there— the boys had grown to men, and the girls to women ; but their mien was changed,— The. old men stood erect as with conscious prido they looked upon the waving fields of grain. The matrons busied themselves about their dairies and their looms: whilst the sturdy boys were grappling with the plows. “What hail brought this change about ? Listen for a while and you will soon hear the iron horse come storming along. Ho stops at a station for fuel and water—a man gets off the train. He is a Christian man, or, perhaps, the agent of the Mont gomery Mills. Thecars go on, and he goes to the house. He msets the farmer—they have met before. His business is to buy his grain. Strange, but true, that the de mand for wheat should be so great as to in duce the merchant to buy at the farmer’s door. He offers one dollar and a half per bushel, cash, for the entire crop, and furn ish sacks tn put it in. That won’t do. Sa vannah was here yesterday, and Columbus the day before, ar.il they offered more.— Fere is the key to this change. This solves the mystery. The great State road—the iron horse—the dollar and a half per bush el—cash tell the tale. This is literally true, as any one can ascertain, by inquiring for the man that knows. rrom the sew orlerma Dell*. [The allegory below says a correspon dent who inclosed it to us is from the pen of .1 little girl of but thirteen winteis. We agree with our correspondent that, the age of the writer considered, it is equally re markable and beautiful iu conception and execution :] The Veiling of Charity. Long ago, when erring men. refused to worship tliu true God, and knelt before the altars of Baal and Moloch, a bowed anil sorrow-stricken angel flew to Heaven and knelt in mute supplication before the Al mighty Throne At last, raising her sad eyes to the faco of her Creator, she ex claimed in a voice so sweet its music filled the air— “ They have driven mo from earth, O. Father—l, Charity, one of thy best be loved. No longer do they heed my voice. Once I dwelt in palaces, the counsellor of Kings—but now they have hardened their hearts to tny appeals, and perforce 1 leave them, and thy poor, lowly children, desert ed by me, will perish of want ;” and the angel bowed her head and wept bitterly. “Peace.” whispered a heavenly voice ; ■‘l know all thou canst tell of the wicked ness and fblly of man ; but ae I have so often, yet will I again forgive and take him to my arms. Naino thy request that I may grant it.” Humbly the angel replied, “Grant me, O, Father, a veil, that since I can no lon ger reign in public, I may at least, conceal ed pervade the homes of men, bringing, unseen, hop? and joy, that nonomay know the giver, nor whence the gift.” The Father of Mercy raised his lowly, child, and pressing her to bis bosom, said : “Not only do 1 grant thee this, but know that if there lives a man with heart so cold, that it hath not place for thee, he shall be shunned by his fellow-men as some wild beast freed from its chains ; for lie who doth not feci and exercise charity, though of the earth earthly,’ has no place among mortals.” Nattie. The Japanese Embassy. The presents brought by the Japanese embassy for the President of the United States were opened yesterday, in Wash ington, for inspection, and then transfer red to the naval commission, to be deliv ered privately to the President in the name of his Imperial Majesty, the Ty coon. The articles are of the most magnificent description; saddles richly embroidered and embossed with gold and silver; silk bed cm tains and bed screens, similar to those used only by the Princes of Japan, and ingeniously elaborated ; two swords, such as are wort, Dy the Princes of Japan, superior to any ever manufactured cither iu this country or France ; paper hangings, ornamented with gold, lacquered case, including writing cases, an! a lot of valua i ble miscellaneous articles, all of them ex ’ hibiting the most refined taste nnd advanc ed artistic skill and superior to any which have ever been brought to this country from Asia. The Washington States, speaking of the future movements of the Embassy in that city, says : In this city their sight-seeking tour will soon commence. After the foreign lega tion have been presented to them, it is con templated to commence to show them the wonders, of the metropolis. They will probably visit the capitol first, and the ■ ther public buildings in the order in which ! theix importance may be convenient. It is also contemplated to show them tbo tele graph offices, and for that purpose a grand demonstration will be made by the elec tric wires on the occasion of their visit.

Their general opinion of an English or American traveller is, that be is either a lutiatic or a magician; a lunatic, if, on closely watching bis movements, they dis cover be pays little attention to things around him; a confirmed lunatic, if he goes out sketching, and spends his time in spoiling good paper with scratches and hieroglyphics ; and a magician, when in quisitive about ruins, and given to nicking up slopes and shells, gathering sticks and leaves, or buying up old bits of copper, iron and silver. In these cases, lie is sup posed, by aid of ids magical powers, to convert stones and shells into diamonds of immense price; and the leaves mid sticks aro charms, by looking at which he can bestow comforts upon Lis friends, and snakes and pestilence upon his luckless enemies. It a traveller pick up a stouo and examine it carefully, he will be suvu to have at his coat-tail a host of malapert little boys dericing him, though keeping at a very respectful distance, in defcreucu to his magical powers. Should he indeed turn round suddenly and pursue them a few steps, they fly in an agony of fear, the very veins in their naked little legs almost bursting, and they never stop to look back till they have got well amongst the crowd again, where, panting for breath, they re count to their auditors the dreadful looks that devil of a Frank gave them, making fire como out of his eyes and adders out of his mouth.— Neale's Eight Years in Syria, Palestine and Asia Minor. Bloiitlin on Another String. It seems that Blondin intends changing, the location of his rope sot the performances of the coming season. The Niagara City Herald says: ,“Mons. Blondin, assisted by his agent, is now here superintending the arrangements necessary for the stretch ing of his rope across the river, and erec ting the necessary enclosures on the American and Canadian shores. The cable is to be hung across just below the Suspension Bridge directly over the most terrible rushing rapids of Niagara. The feats which M. Blondin contemplates per forming during the present season, pro mises to outvie any thing that he has yet done in his most hazardous and dangerous ot all callings. Among other things, the rumor prevails that the daring rope-walker seriously contemplates diving frnn fLe centre of his cable in a life-boat, made for the special purpose, into the roariug flood tide and foam-wreathing rapids of tbo river below.” Art of Thinking. To think clearly is among the first re quirements ofa public teacher. The fa culty may be improved, like other facul ties of mind and body. One ot the best modes of improving in the art of thinking is, to think ovfr some subject before you read upon it, and then to observe after what manner it has occur red to the mind ot some great master ; you will then observe whether you have succeeded, and by this process you will in sensibly catch a great-manner of viewing questions. It is right to study, not only to think, but from time to time-review what has passed ; to dwell upon it and tu see what trains of thought voluntarily pre sent tbemselvesto your mind. It is a most superior habit of some minds tn refer all the particular tiutha which strike them to other truths more general, so that their knowledge is methodized, and the general truth, at auy time, suggests the particular exemplification which at once leads to the general truth. This kind of an understand ing has an immense and decided superiority over those confused heads iu which one ‘fact is plied upon another, without tbe least attempt at classification and arrangement. —Sydney Smith.
