THE SEXTON.
Nigh to a grate that was newly made.
Leaned a Sexton old, on his earth-svorn spade,
His. work was done,
and ho paused to wait
atThe funeral train the open gate.
A relic of by-gone days was he,
And his _locks were gray as the foamy sea ;
And these' words 'came from his lips so thin:
I gather them jn—l gather tki - eiu in.
Gather—gather—gather—l gather them in.
I gather them in, fur man and - boy,
Year after year of grief and joy;
I've builded the houses that lie around,
In every nook of this burial. ground.
Mother. and daughter, father ana sou,.
Come to my solitude ONE by oat; . .
But come they stran;ers, or come they kin,
I , gather them in—T gather them in',
Gather—gather—gather—l gather them in.
NI %air are with me, yet I'm ALONE ;
KIN° OF TIIF: DL:li I), and I make my throne
On a monument slab of mares•
cold—
My sceptre of rule i 4 the_spade I hold ;
Come they .from cottage, or come they from hall,
Mankind are my subjects—.lLl.—ALL—ALL!
Let then . ' loiter in pleasure, or' toilfully spin,
I. gather them in—l gather them in.
I gather them in, and their final REST
IS arena, down mute, in the earth's dark breast!
And -the Sexton ceased, as the funeral train
Wound mutely over that solemn plain;
And f said to myself, whew time is told,
A mightier voice than that Sexton's. old,
Will be heard o'er the last trump's dreadful din
I gather them in—l 'gather them in,
Gather—gather—gather—l gather them in.

A Little Incident.
It was about half past nine o'clock in the
morning,. the dense fog
.through which we had
been running for the last four or five hours had
- rendered the track so slippery that we hadlost
considerable time in climbing up grades ; but
we were new running down a moderate grade,
and as the fog was gradually clearing away,
we ventured to increase our speed, and our en
gineer ever attentive, to his business; was con
stantly watching the trnek.;abead; which was
occasionally enveloped in clouds of watery
vapor.
As we were _running along, I observed the
engineer raise his hand td the Cord attached to
the whistle. He held it for a mordent, and
then gave the signal to "break." Turning my
eye in the direction in which we were moving, I
was barely able to discern some small 'object
upon the track a considerable distance ahead,
but could - not make out what it was. A mo
ment later the engineer repeated the signal to
"break," in that peculiar manner which is in
stantly recognized by the experienced breaks
man,, as an indication of imminent danger.
The engine was reversed as if by magic, and
as the steam Was applied the driving wheels
whirled round in an opposite direction to that
in Which the train was moving. I now dis
covered that-the object before us was_a_little
child, apparently unaware of iti - Grier. The
almost constant screaming of the whistle, with
which the engineer thought to frighten the lit
tle one from the track, seemed only to amuse it.
The wheels of our engine grated and hissed
upon the iron track, unable to stop the train,
whiChewing tote sliPpery condition of the rails
it was certain would send far beyond -where
the child was standing, before we could stop.
Thies we rushed on with the almost certainty
that the next minute that innocent unsuspect
ing child, too young to know its danger, would
be.a mangled corpse. Turning-my eyes to see
if there* was no one near to save it, I saw a la
dy who seemed to be almost flying towards
the child, but one glance showed me that the
engine must reach it before her. The engineer
had left hiS post, and was running rapidly
along the frame work, to the front of the en;
gine. In an instant he was crouching upon
the "cow-catcher," with one foot upon its-low-
er •ar, 115 lan ex em el * •s • • • ,
which, at the very moment it would have been
crushed, he caught by its little arm, raised
it from the track, and bore it along in safety.
One more minute, and the child uninjured,
was restored to its mother's arms.
Virtue in lilan.
We love to believe there is more moral good
ness than depravity in human nature. When
we_ see one tear of pity drop from the eve, it
giKes more pleasure than would the finding of
a diamond. There is goodness—real and un
selfish—in the heart, and we have often seen
it manifest itself, to the making of a scene of
-v-row the vestibule of heaven. For him who
is,L.:,
~,; , 11..ways picking out flaws in his neighbor's
l'nharacter, we have no sympathy. lie reminds
us ,of those birds which resort to dealt and de
cayed limbs of trees to feast on the WO/Ps. In
the, characters of most men we shall find mor e
good than evil, more kindness than hate—and
why should we seek to pick oat the flaws, and
pass over the sterling traits of character ? We
bold this to be the true doctrine : to portray
real goodness and hold it up to the gaze and
admiration of all while we suffer the evil to
remain in the shade and die. If every picture
of human nature were only pure and beautiful,
WC arc inclined to believe that we should have
thousands of such characters living and loving
around us.

Excellent Advice.
On the subject of behaviour in company,
Leigh Richmond gives the following excellent
, advice - to-his daughters :—“Be cheerful, be no
Egiggler. Be serious, but not dull. Be corn.
1 municative, but not forward. Be kind, but
not - servile. Beware of silly' thoughtless
speeches; although you may forget them,
the-rs--will-not.--Reme inber-that-GoWs-eye-is
in every place. and His ear in every company.
-Beware-ig-levity and familiarity with young
1 men ; a modest reserve, without affectation,
is the only safe path. Court and encourage
serious conversation, and go not into intelli,
i gent company without endeavoring to improve
by. the intercourse permitted you. Nothing
„is more unbecoming, when one part of
,the
company is engaged in profitable and interest, I
ing conversation, than that another party
should be trifling; and. talking comparative
nonsense."
The Grave of Aaroiliurr,
A correspondent from Princeton thus de.
scribes the grave of Aaron Burr: ,
Near the remains of - Aaron Burr, the second
Preiclent of the college, are those of his son,
Aaiiin, Burr, the Vice President of the United
States. For fifteen long years no monumental
tonB . triarked his resting placef,tthere was
nothing to tell the stranger who he was, or
"where they had lain him." But some two
or three years ago a plain marble slab was
erected by an unknown hand over his grave.
The slab merely contains, his .name and age,
leaving the passer by to up the history.
Nis a consolation to his' admirers, however,
toicnow that calumny has done her worstTa - nd
her poisoned arrows have all been discharged.
However black his character may he, the
time Will come when some impartial historian,
writing our country's history, will accord to
Aaron Burr some little meed of praise fur pub
lic acts. There are bright spots in almost
every cloud, and the members of the Glosophic
Society of the college at least have occasion
as often as they are called together, to admire
the matchless skill with which the foundations
of that society were laid by his master hand.

The following story is told in • the London
papers: "The French, having _remarked an
unusual activity among the garrison of the
Quarantine Fort, were anxious to know the
cause of it. and for that pnrpoSe determined lo
get hold of some Russian sentinel at the out-
pots. But that was no easy matter, the sen
tinels being usually on.the alert, and - taking
good Care to keep out of danger. At last a
Zonave offered to furnish the article in que-s

heard a rustling among the bushes. lie cried,
._Who goes there ?' the only answer he reeeived
was a grught. .Thinks he to himself. ''Phis is

but oh ! the treacherous beast turns the tables. ,
upon him, throws him down and gags him in
no time ; when with a low whistle he calls five
Zounves to his aid, who carry off his victim to

A Goon Sroity.—A gentleman in a neigh
boring city, m pursuit' of a goose for his din

extra-sized one. •
"'ls that a young one ?" said he to a rosy

"Yes sir, indeed it is."

"That is too ninch,';'sa_y., five-eighths, and

"Well, sir, as I would like to get you as a

The goose was carried home and roasted,
but found to be so tough
.as to be uneatable.
The following day, the gentleman accosted
the fair poulterer :

A CURIOUS MISSION. —M r. Sento, in one of
his letters to the State Department, -makes
some singular disclosures. Be says that Louis
Napoleon. before his celebrated coup d'etat,
which placed him at the head of an empire,
had c'mcocted with General Narvaez, the Span
ish minister, the plan of a mission to the Uni
ted State:, to sound how far this country was
vulnerable in a military point of view. A se
cret agent was to be sent with instructions pre
pared by the Department of Foreign Affairs.
These-instructions, duly signed, were present
ed to Napoleon toneparte. the son of Jerome,
with a tender of what amount of money he
might require to carry them out: The, latter
refused, telling Louis Napoleon that he was
not the man for Ruch a work ; that he was a
democrat, and would rather be with the Uni
ted• States than with him. The matter was
dropped, and has- not been resumed since. At

Me Preamble and Resoltstions reit:live 10 th e
rights of Foreileners'en'Me United States.
The House having tecolve(i itself into a com
mittee of the whole. (Mr. rnarr..r.•of fiebnyl
•ilf in the Chair, for 'the consideration of the
subject.
Mr. 111 - 'OI:CAN' said—
Mr. ciTAIIMAN: --I am opposed to, the Pre
amble and resoultions, for reasons which I
propose to submit, to -- the- corinnittee. In the
first placejam opposed to the.practice of in
structing'our Senators and Representatives in
the National Congress, as a general rule. un
lesS it be under the most urgent and pressing
necessity. it is a waste •of precious time,
The lnisiness pertaining to - .us,•_legitimately
here, is often suffered to lie- unattended to,
while we wander out of our placeS and see!: to
interfere with the proper business of others.'
A Representative in the National Congress is
directly responsible, to those who have elected
him. and to those only. It was in endeaVoi ing
to carry out this principle that'l votedln the
negative, with a - few others - .-a, fewiweeks
against instructing our Representatives- in
Congress upon a subject in which we, as. a.
State, are supposed to have a vital interest.
Our Senators and Representatives are able and
intelligent, and to their constituents they arc
responsible fur the discltarge of their high pub
lie, trust.
But, Mr. Chairman, am -opposed to the
very spirit and tenor of the preamble and reso
lutions before us. It is the same spirit which
moved* the enactors of the alien 7ii)d sedition
laws, ft is - the spirit of "Tc , noW Notttingism."
The resolutions propose the period termed ,by
the old law writers of three lives," or twenty
one years, as -- the term of probation for All
foreigners, before they can enjoy the itninuni•
ties of citizens., I, for one, sir, would be will
ing to- . ..shorten the term, rather than to extend,
it. Five years is certainly long enough to test
the character of those who seek to be, our fel
low-citizens ; in addition to which we have the
oath of a citizen that the_ applicant is a man of
good moral character, attached to the princi
ples of the Constitution of the United Statek,
and well disposed to the good order and happi,
ness of the same. I know there is an outcry
against what 'is termed the, ingress of foreign
paupers and criminals. The idea emanates
from a brain diseased with the monomania of
Native
are
and Enow Nothingism..
Where are there-a more hale, hearty and robust
set of men and women than our foreign Ger
'tnans,? There arc few who can, endure more
labor and fatigue. In all our agricultural
region's there me complaints about' the scarci
ty of laborers. Labor was never tootiTii
mond that at the present time.
These resolutions are behind the progress of
the-age. They exhibit an-exclusive, pent lip
spirit. Why, Mr. Chairman, we live in the
nineteenth xentury. The electrie wires reach
almost round the globe. Space is' well nigh
annihilated by means of the improvernews in
traveling by, land and water: The barriers
which formerly existed in the intereonrSe-he
tween nations are broken . down. Are we flat
taught by these events. as well as by the snored
Scriptures, that ..GOd bath made of one 'blood .
all the nations of-the-earth?" -Is not the ten
dency Of the age to freedom of intercourse.'
freedom of exollange of the products of the
earth and of kinnan industry, between ,the
different nations of the world.?
The great objection urged,, against the gov
vernments Of the old word is, that the MASSeB
of the people have no interest in the govern- .
meat—no voice in the selection of the rulers or
in the enactment of the laws, The advocates
of these resolutions would produce the same
state of things here. In a few years we would
have millions among I s is who would have,no
direct interest or participationin our govern
ment. It is not eensistenl, either with justice
or prudence on the part.of any government, to
. deprive any portion of the inhabitants .for
long period of time, of '1» ivileges which are
common to others. On the contrary, is it not
better to remove, as speedily as possible, the
disability of the foreigner? Let him feel that
he is one of us- -a citizen of a free republic.
Ile will then" rejoice with us in the prosperity
of our common country. and feel an
_equal
grief in the day of adversity. Let hitufeel that
he is a man responsible for his conduct to the
proper tribunals of the country, but entitled to
all tt— lee of
. the privileges of the citizen. Are not the
rights and feelings of the poorest , emigrant
from abroad entitled to our consideration emigrant
from
honest son of the Emerald isle, who had
severed all:those ties which . had bound him to
— his home ; is he to be treated as a criminal
and a pauper ? I fancy I see such an one
landed in one of our large seaports. He rai'es
his eyes to Heaven in devout ejaculation' to: the
God of his existence, that be had been permit
ted to escape the iron hand Of tyranny in his
native country. I fancy, too. I see him met
by some of the advocates of these resolutions,
and told to cease his invocations. 'You have,
indeed, escaped the rod.of oppression at home.
but you have expatriated yourself; you are
disfranchised; you have lived half a century.
perhaps, in the old world. If you happen to
live a quarter of a century in• the nevv — you may
per haps have your thsabilities,retuoved.
