cd by him towards Col. Earle, tha portrait
pninlor. As" a Nashville artist, Earlo had
been a protege ofMrs. Jackson, one of tho
many objects on which tho kindness of
heart recorded in the epitaph—so different
in truthfulness from most opitaphs ■had
found its indulgence. This was enoug .
Bv her death this rolativo becamo sancti
fied for the General’s heart. Earle becamo
forthwith his protege . From that time
forward the painter’s homo was under his
roof—at Washington, in Tcnnetsoe, in the
President’s house, as at tho Hcrmitago,
where ho died before tho Genoral. And
this treatment was amply repaid. Not,
indeed, by the fidility of his brush, In tran
smilting the General’s physiognomy to
fire generaf,ons-for Earle, whatever ho
might be in point of admiration for bis pro
lector, was no Apipelles in ability. There
was not a particle of genius or of artislical
skilli n tho man. Bur there wot'
thing better, an honest heart. Iflto brush
was false, his soul was true. If ho could
go on, na he did, year in and year out,
painting tho General, and the General,
and never anything but the Goncral, if
the last of these repetitions was (as any
one could have predicted it must neces
sarily be from the very nature of tho mind
alone capable of such mill-horse occupa
tionj yet more destitute, if possible, than
the first of a single flash oßhe light within,
by which those rugged features wero ilum
ined. One thing no one could doubt—
his devotion was moro untiring even than
his own brush; and its stoadinoss would
have proved itself, at any moment the op-1
portunity might have offered, by cheerful
ly laying down his life in his sorvico. If
ho had a thousand lives, they would, I fool
sure, have been so laid down, one after
tho other, with the samo perseveranco that
one canvass after another was lifted m his
easel, there to keep its place till it had re
ccived “the Genoral.”
I find that one incident recalls another;
and so a great number migth bo brought
up in succession, could I spare time for

The Lttw of Population.
The Public Ledger, commenting upon
tho eubjoct, rebukes the croakers who
seem to fear tho effect of tho vast omrai
oration to our country, in over peopling
ft with humanity, and forcibly refers to
tho fact that tho triumphs or genius and
science, as implied to agriculture, are rap
iblv doubling tho productive capacity of ,
mother oarthf By the end or the century, I
so great will have been tho triumph of
scientific agriculture, that one acre will ,
vield aB much aa two, nnd two blades of
corn ripen where ono grows now. |
We quototho second argument entire :
“But, in the second place, thcro is a law
of population, immutable as eternity, and
now fastf'eoming into operation on a large
scale, which wiTl prevent numbersbecom

This great law is established alike by tho
analogies of the brute and insect ceation,
and by data drawn from tho experience of

insects is in exact proportion to their low
