THE UNKNOWN' BkOGRAPEUCAL SKETCHES [SitirMrs. PHELPS, of Baltimore, 31d., well known to the literary world as an au thor of high reputation, and one of our most prominent educators—having been request ed by Gsomis H. CHILDS, of Philadelphir4 to furnish for the 'Home Weekly" a series of articles, contributed such under the title of "Our Picture Gallery." Mr. Childs transferred the paper to other hands, after which the following article on Gen. Jack son, with one or two others, appeared in the "Home Weekly," when,that paper was dis continued. Mrs. Phelps, wishing to finish the series, by bringing the sketches down to the present day, has kindly consented to furnish them to the "STAR SENTINEL We feel assured that they will be read with much interest.] The administration of Andrew Jackson, which continued from 1829 to 1837, was dis tinguished for some important politieal mea sures, among which the destruction of the United States Bank was a prominent feature. Many widows and orphans were impover ished by the downfall of an institution which had been considered as a most desirable in vestment beyond the reach of accident or loss. But Jackson called it "The Monster," and saw, or fancied that he saw, in ita grasp the destruction of the liberties of the coun try by giving to the Federal Government the control of the monied interest of the nation. During this administration, Washington society was agitated by certain matters.— Jacf,son, with all his power and command ing influence, found himself unable to con trol the women who then stood at the head of the social circle at the National capital.— The warm attachment .of the President to his friends, which often carried him to great lengths, was never more manifested than in his attemp(s to force t upon society a woman whose reputation was considered as at least doubtful. She was the wife of a member of the Cabinet. Ladles of this rank had al ways held a high position, claimed to be superior to that of the wives of Judges of the Supreme Court of the United• States and of the 'United States Senators. But even the wives of members of the House refused to call on Mrs. Eaton while the higher dignitaries stood aloof. Jackson was deter mined to put down that contempt of his well-known wishes, and for a tittle there was a fierce conflict in the court circle at Washington.. To call on Mrs. Eaton and invite her to balls and receptions was a pus port to the favor of the President ; to refuse to do Bo was to incur his displeasure ; and the women could be punished only through the disgrace or dismissal from office of their husbands. About this time a circumstance occurred under the observation of the writer. illustra tive of the spirit of the time. Mrs. Sec retary Eaton, who was on her way to Sara toga, stopped It Troy, N. Y. A short time previous to this; a lady of Washington, who was a personal friend and mafklante of the President, wrotO, by his request, to a dis tinguished ladP .of Troy, urging that she should call on Mrs. Eaton when in thatcity, and holding out,,certam inducements for her to do so. But dt was not done, and the Presidential fa.vdr was lost. - Newspaper parOgrvhs of the present day Inform us that Nrik F4tnnt becoming a dots, descended trio. low =mime with a young adven who ran away with her gan d..d aug u er , . robbing her of her ikroperty; and . old age and nanny, , she toseeking warts of raw some ro draw. - -The *Minitel in use thtsE history tbe' Zixt Star and Jkatinti.

The amlible and enerons character of Jackson IN! him into:the folly of attempting to coerce public opinion. He was warm, enthuslastit and unsuSpiclous ; he dcittbtless believed that an innocent woman was In jured., and With a chivalric -courage deter mined to be her protector. Benton, In his "T4irty tears in the Se_ nate of the United States," remarks on De Tocquevillels description of Andrew Jack son as unjuit, and fa ls e as to facts. He says it "mat do for American history in Europe, but, American historians will do justice to hie individual and national char acter." De• TocqueTille remarks, "The Americans Owe twice elected to the head of their government General Jackson, a man of violent temper and trictliocre talents, with . no capacity to govern It free people." Ben ton calls the French antli , r "shallow and flippant ;" he claims "to L . . w something about Andrew Jackson;" 1 , . nig for many years been on terms of 1.• ,liar intimacy with him ; lie affirms that • he had a good temper, was kind and JimpLable to every body, with a.teeling of p.otection for the whole human race—esjecially the weaker and humbler parts of it." "His quarrels," says Benton, "were :accidental, against his own will,'and for the succour of his friends." "3.fediocre talents and no capacity to govern a free people l" exclaims Benton, quoting froml)e Tocqtieville ; "in the first place, free people are not governed by any man, but by laws." Tile Senator then goes on to show that Jackson's capacity for civil administration was manifested in his public acts, and the general piosperity of the na tion while he ivas at thehead of the govern ment. That he found the country in a state of pecuniary distress, may excuse him fo some of the financial crises which mark that period. The rupture between the Vice-President, Calhoun, and President' Jackson, in 1831, caused at that :period much excitement in s the country. Mr. Van Buren, then Secre tary of State, had his aspirations lbr the Presidency. )Ir. Calhoun was considered as a candidate; there was one party who looked upon Jackson as the dupe of his designing Secretary, and Calhoun the vic• tim. As a consequence of this excitement, there was a general breaking up of the Pre sident's Cabinet, Mr. Van Buren being the first to retire, on the ground that the Presi dent was attacked on. his account. This was a serious blow to the interests of the Democratic party. Mr Van Buren had been sent by the President as Minister to England. This appointment was rejected by the Senate. He was in London at the time, and in the evening of the day when his rejection was announced, he was at a brilliant assembly at Priace Tallyrand's, then the representative at the British Court of the new King of the French, Louis Phi lippe. "Mr. Van Buren," remarks his his torian, "always master or himself and his qtuation, was there as if nothing had hap pened, receiving attention's and congratula tions." Lord Ankland said, "It is an ad vantage to a public man to be the subject of an outrage." Mr. Van Berea came home, and was elected sucessively Vice-President and President, though Mr. Calhoun said, re specting his rejection, "It will kill him, kill him dead ; he will never kick." Bat none of his opponenti—Clay, Webster, Calhoun and Crawford—ever attained to the great object of their ambition. On the fourth of March; 1837, General Jackson appeared on the portico of the Ca pitol to witness the inauguration of his suc cessor, Mr. Van Buren. The scene was one of deep interest, with naught to mar its beauty or its grandeur. It was evident that the retiring President was the object of love and veneration. As he de*ended from the steps of the portico to take : his seat in the open carrage which awaited him, the re pressed feeling of the immense multitude burst forth in cheers and acelamatinrus, such as no power could command—such as no man in the height of power ever received. It was the deep thrill of thei heart, bursting forth spontaneously—a homage to his past services, a blessiog upon his future life. The old hero and patriot dncovered, and, deeply affected, bowed his mute acknowl edgments. It was well the occasion de manded no words-, his ematiOns were too powerful for ufferance. His evening of life passed away quietly In the shades of his beloved Hermitage, near Nashville, where be was ca➢ed from these mortal scenes to the life aboie. He diedas he had lived, a Christian. THE Powse or A Wm:l.4-A mother, on the green hills of 'Nrermontwas holding by the right hand a son sixteen: years old, mad with the love of the sea. And , as she stood by the garden gate one morning, she said : "Edward, they tell me, for I never saw the ocean, that the great temptation of a seaman's life is-think. ProMise me, before you quit your mother's hand. ) that you will never drink." "And," said he (for he told me the story,) "I gave her the promise, and I went the globe over, Calcutta and the Mediterranean , San Francisco, the Cape of (ood Hope, the North and South Poles.

COLFAX ON TUE SITVATION No man in the country has a happier way of saying things—pleasantly, eloquently, and cogently—than Vice President Colthx. One of our purest public men—idolizing his country—thoroughly imbued with Re publican principles—yet eminently cautions and careful in expressing his views—he never utters anything unreadable, or which does not go directly to the popular heart.— He has been rusticating in New England •with his wife for some weeks; and while avoiding public demonstrations, has every where met with marked courtesies. At Providence, (R. I.) last week be was in duced to extend his response to the cordial greetings of Its citizens, and enlarged Upon the present and future of the Republic. The following extract from his remarks on that occasion, will be read with interest: "Not now embroiled in war, but with peace at home and abroad, I sometimes ven ture to think of the future of this great country, of which you, as well. as myself, are citizens. But I scarcely dare to say to you to-day what is my conception of the mighty, the glorious and magnificent future of our Heaven-favored Republic, if its citi zens are faithful to principle and to right. In the swift-coming future, our posterity will see whether these dreams of mine are to be crowned by a glorious consummation; but I know of no land upon the surface of this globe on which the sun shines in its progress through the heavens that has the brilliant future which is before us, If we are faithful to duty and deserve the smile of Di vine approval. That able writer and pro found thinker, Prof. Draper of the New- York University, in his interesting and iu structive works, condenses all history into a theory for ly hich he has written these works that have added such honor to his name and added so much glory and just renown to American literature. It is that_nations are under a law of growth, like individuals ; that they have their periods of birth, of in fancy, of youth, of manhood, of prime and maturity, and of decay and old age. And as it Is the duty of the physician, minister ing to the ills that afflict the body of the in dividual, to endeavor to postpone that final consummation which must at last come to all that is earthly—to prolong the life by preventing the life-blood from being ex hausted, keeping the flush of life upon the cheek, and the bounding blood in the veins of the individual, so is it the duty of the statesman, and of those who represent you 1 in public affairs at your National Capitol, to endeavor to so perform their duties that this final stage of decay and old age may be as far as possible postponed. It is that thought I desire to bring before you to-day, in the few words I shall speak to you. It is that thought that has animated my public life, and, I believe, the public lives ol those who represent the people of New-England. I conceive that sometimes there must be ex haustion of the blood that runs in the veins of our great body politic. When a great rebellion lifts its black flag of trason, strik in at the heart of the Nation, the Nation must shed its blood to preserve the National existence. But there is no other occasion that I can contemplate as within the range of possibilities, in which those who are charged with the conduct of your public affairs should willingly resort to war. War drains the blood from the nation. War ex hausts the resources of a republic, an em pire, or a kingdom. War carries anguish and desolation into households throughout the land. War piles up debt and taxes up on the shoulders of the people; and al though there may be glory, as there is in heroism of the battle-field, unless in a sa cred cause, like that for the preservation of national existence or for the redress of wrong that can in no other way be redressed, there is no justification for war in a great republic like ours. It is this, my friends, I sty to you, in an tagonism to the military spirit which has been fostered to some extent in the great trial of the nation in its warfare against re bellion—it is this which is the danger to a republic like ours. With peace at home, with concord restored in all branches and sections of our Union, we shall go forward with the stately steppings of a giant to that culminating point where we shall stand peerless among the nations of the world. Nor do I agree with those who, fearing a danger that may possibly come to us, speak of these troubles that afflict our body polit ic, and of the evils that sometimes are in herent in our human legislation, as the pre cursor; of a downfall of the Republic. Nor do I concur with those who insist upon it, that in this land, as in all other lands, there is in all portions of it, to some extent, pov erty, destitution, and distress. It is insep arable from mankind, from the Garden of Eden until this time, that there shall be misery among us, as we walk in life's path way, as a nation or an individual, to the tomb. But looking over the world for its verdict, and for its judgment, appealing to all civilized lands for the proof of what I say to you, I assert that there is no land ex isting upon any of the continents of this globe that is so much a paradise to the poor man as the Republic of the United States of America. [Great applause.) Go with me to all other lands where poverty is the rule and not the exception, as it is-here. Go with me to the banks of the Rhine, to the Shannon, to the Danube, and around the Mediterranean, and far off upon the Pacific shores; and to what land does the poor man look with longing in his heart, hoping that he may have means to emigrate thither and enjoy the coveted civil and religions liberty? Do they talk of emigrating to England with its historic renown? Do they talk of going to France-? Do they talk even of going to Prussia, that nation which has so lifted its elf among the nations of the earth, by its military prowess and the wisdom of- its rul ers within the last few years? Do they talk of going to Russia or elsewhere ? Oh, no. All around the world, from continent to continent, wherever the poor man seeks to better his condition, his eyes and his heart, and his thoughts and his hopes are bent upon this Republic of ours.. [Pro longed cheering.] It is not my testimony ; it is the testimony of the-toiling millions that inhabit all the continents of this globe. And so it its and so it will be if we are faith ful to the inheritance that Ood has given us. The lesson of the hour, the duty oftbe day, the imperative obligation upon those holding the rend of public affairs, is to ap preciate and to promote the greatness and the development of this Republic of ours.— No land has ever had, no people has ever had, such a birthright, such a heritage as ours/ stretching from continent to conti nent in the temperate zone, which is the goierning zone of the world, with its shores washed by the waters of the two great .oceans of the globe; with mineral re sources that are peerless among all other lands beneath the sty ; with the rich:mining regions of the West, and with the grain fields of the Mississippi Valley, 'which, if seeded, could be the granary of the entire world ; with your commercial advantages ardyour nuumflurtoring'ativasages ; with the ftee:iniultutions : you enjoy,here ; rho eau bound as limit tholatemot tide hind; to whosioisto got* lie 9( thew ands 1 11141/014118.03417?, .14 WHOLE NO. 3570 Although I shall not transgress the bounds and speak in regard to any mere partisan issue of the day, I rejoice with you that you have an Administration in power at Wash ington, and I allude now to your President —[applause]—which is faithful to this great country. I pass by those petty bickerings about the distribution of patronage, with the single remark . that if he had been in spired he could not have satisfied the one tenth of those who desired to serve the public in its offices of honor or of profit.— [Loud applause.] That is but a slight rip ple upon the wave ; for when you look at the Administration that is given to you, you find-already shining out upon it, in letters of glittering light, that word which you have longed to see in high places at Washington —that word that goes to your heart—and that is, honesty, which is the corner-stone upon which the policy of the Administra tion is securely grounded. [Applause.J— You know that whether the President has made this man Postmaster, or that man Collector, or whether he has distributed this vast patronage just exactly as you, or I, or somebody else would have desired to have it distributed, you know that in that heart which beats in his bosom Oleic is no thought except for the country. [Applause.] And you know besides that you can see written upon the portals, of the White House that other word which you have longed for in years past to see, and that is, economy in the public service. [Applause.] You know that every expenditure is being cut down which can be consistently in the public service ; that in every possible way the burdens upon the public are being re reduced, as far as can be consistently with our public credit in the payment of our public debt, as the party that governs this country intends it shall be paid, to the ut- termost dollar. [Applause.] And you know, besides, that hereafter, it shall not be as in recent years of the past, that the hon est tax-payer shall be compelled to bear his own burdens and the hardens of dishonest parties. Nor is this all. Standing as we do among the nations of the world, emerging from our recent crisis, in which we had to tight not only the Rebellion with its power, but to endure the frown of almost the entire civilized world beside—for the monarchical nations looked at this republic as a standing protest against their form of government, and would rejoice to see it crumble to ruin —you know, to-day, that your President, in speaking for you and in your behalf, to the other nations of the world, speaks with no uncertain voice, but with an emphasis that demands and receives respect." A WIFB'S CotRAGE.J—On one occasion, when Disraeli was Chancellor of the Ex chequer, his wife accompanied him to the Parliament House. It was "Budget" night —the most momentous of all sessions to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for he had to unfold his financial plans for the ensuing year to a critical and not too easily satisfied House. D'lsraeli, as he took his place in the carriage, was wholly wrapt up in his subject and his figures ; it was a crisis in his career ; if he failed this night, lie might as well take Wolsey's advice to Cromwell, "Fling away ambitinn ! His wife entered the carriage also, softly, so as not to disturb the thinker. In, getting in, however, her finger was caught by the door, which, shut- ting upon it, jammed it terribly and held it so fast that she could not withdraw it. She uttered no cry, made no movement; her pain and agony must have been intense. There was the finger crushed between the panels ; to speak or to endeavor to with draw it would disturb her lord—would drive the figures and arguments from his head. So there stayed the finger, every moment more painful, Until they reached the House; nor did Disraeli hear a word of it till long after the famous debate of that night had become history. All that even ing the faithful wife sat in the gallery, that her husband's quick-glancing eye might not miss her from it ; she bore the pain like a martyr and like a woman who loves. No wonder that by her husband's act she has become Viscountess Beaconsfield; still less wonder that, as Lady Beaconsfield, she is honored in England's proudest castles, and has taken her place in the hereditary society as naturally and easily as if she too had been "to the manner born.

St3tru.—An Alpine hunter , ascending Mount Blanc, in passing over the Mer de Glace, lost his hold and slipped into one of those frightful crevasses by which the sea of ice is cleft to its founda tion. By catching himself In his swift descent against the points of rocks and pro jecting spurs of ice, he broke his fall, so that he reached the bottom alive, but only to race death in a more terrible form. On either hand the icrwalbi rose up to heaven, above which he saw only a strip of•blue sky. At his feet trickled a little stream formed from the slowly melting glacier.— There was but one possible chance of es cape—to follow this rivulet, which might lead to some unkown crevice or passage. In silence and terror he picked his way, down the mountain side, till his farther ad vance was stopped by a giant cliff that rose up before him, while the river rolled dark below. He heard the roaring of the waters which seemed to wait for him. What should he do ? Death was beside him and behind him, and, he might fear, before him. There was no time for reflection or delay. He paused but an instant and plunged into the stream. One minute of breathless sus pense—a sense of darkness and coldness, and yet of swift motion, as If he were glid ing through the shades below, and then a light began to glimmer faintly in the wa ters, and the next instant be was amid the green fields sink flowers and the summer sunshine of the vale of Chamonny. So it is when believers die. They come to the bank of the river, and it is cold and dark. Nature shrinks from the fatal plunge. Yet one chilling moment, and alllear is left behind, and the Christian is amid the fields of the paradise of God. firmest:No TRAGZDY.—,The Frederickton (N. B.)

Muss& Eneraest--Havint alehmre hour/ to speed, I will occupy it in relating top* same of the incidents of the trip thus kr, *deism* hope will be of interest to some *flour readers. Alter plautak spindles a very t . year at Gettysburg, and thrilling men/ acquaintances never to be forgotten, the time arrived for our return to our old home in North Manchester, Whine. By waiting untiralter the crowds, who bad come to witness the dedication of the monument, bad dispersed, we hoped to leave the quiet town of Gettysburg in a , quiet way. But we were much mistaken. When we reached the depot on the 3rd, we found not onir a large number of strangers taking their first chance to get away, bur* " number of citizens either leaving to spend the 4th elsewhere, or seeking to recreate af ter the excitement of the week. With dif ficulty I secured seats for myself and family, • and my friend Mr. with whom we expected to spend the coming Sabbath.— :Although very much crowed, we thought we could endure the discomfort as far as the Junction, where we hoped to be relieved.-- , The crowd was very merry, and now and then we got a peep through the window of the cars at the beautiful golden harvest fully ripe for the sickle, relieving the tedium of the hour. But when we reached the Junc tion, to our continued discomfort, we found that in addition to the passengers on our train, • most of whom were booked for the up train, there were many others In waiting, who had preceded us ott other trains. To a bystander, it was doubtless laughable to see the lines of over anxious persons drawn up along the track, all aiming to be first on the train, and secure the best seta. The first scream of the whistle of the approach • • ing train made every one Jump and step a little closer to the track. Before the train had fairly stopped, there was a rush, and every available seat in the cars and on tho platforms occupied. After some difficulty, -with the assistance of our friend we secured seats and started. We reached Harrisburg by and by, and with all speed we tried to reach the other train (heading toward Pittsburg), but to our • great disappointment, the train was more than crowded. Every available foothold was occupied. We were comforted, how ever, by the promise of two additional cars to the train. But when they came, they were also already filled with a company of colored people going to a picnic a few miles In the country. When about despairing of all chances for a ride on that train, another car or two were attached, and we obtained ' seats. It would be almost impossible for me to describ4i to you how glad we were, when this was accomplished. As far as the colored folks went, we had no lack for music—hymns and spiritual Kali After passing their picnic grounds, we had plenty of room, and the ride was pleasant. At Altoona we found ourselves in a rainy country. At about half past nine P. M., we stepped off the train at Wllmore, where my friend S— lives. Sabbath morning was rainy and disagreeable. We were Invited to preach for the people of Wilmore, which we tried to do. We also attended Sabbath School, (of which father Settle rneyer is Superintendent,).and by invitation participated in the exercises. We find the weather here on the moun tains very cool. The cherries are not ripe ; the wheat just beginning to ripen, and the grass all in the meadows untouched. They tell us that they have had a very wet season, with scarcely three days of dry weather at a time ; and expressed some astonishment when told that we had seen a number of fields already harvested. Our stay here has been made very pleas ant by the kindnesses of Mr. Settlenseyer's family. Mr. 8. has a large firm on the mountain side, with every convenience—a home seldom surpassed In neatness of ar rangement sad style. We leave here this evening on the 9 o'- clock train far North Manchester, from Whence you may hear from us again. Yours truly, G. W. W. "No Szcsxr, Dcxyroz."—l noticed, said Franklin, a mechanic among a number of others, at work on a house erecting but a little way from my office, who always ap peared to be in a merry humor ; who had a kind and cheerful smile for every one he met. Let the day be ever so cold, gloomy, or sunless, a happy smile danced like a sun beam in his cheerful countenance. Meet ing him one - morning I asked him to tell me the secret of his happy flow of spirits. "No secret, Doctor," he replied, "I have got one of the best of wives, and when I go to work she her a kind word of encour agement ; and *hen I go home she-meets mewith a smile and a kiss arid-act tea is sure to be ready, and she has so dais; little things to please me that I can not find it in my heart to speak• an unkind word to anybody." What influence has woman over the heart of man to soen and make it the foundation of good pare emo tions! Speak gently, then ;"a kind greeting, • after the toils 'of the day are over, costs nothing and goes far towards making home happy and peacefuL Young wives, and girls candidates for wives, should keep this in mind; to older wties, experience may have already taught them this important lesson. And what we say to wives, we say also to husbands. A krving word and a kiss goes very far with a woman.

"1 Say; mister, did you see a dog come by here that looked as If be were a year or a year and a half or two years old ?" said a Yankee to a countryman 'at the roadside. "Yes," said the countryman, thinking him self quizzed. "Be passed about an hour or an hour and a half, or two hours ago ; and is a mile, or a mile and a halt, or two miles ahead; and he had a tall about an • inch, or an inch and a half, or two. inches long." • "That'll do," mid the Yankee; you're ahead of me s toot, or a toot and a halt or two feet."
