HISTORY OF LIFE I saw an infant in its mother’s arms ; And left it sleeping ; Years passed—l saw a girl with woman's charms, In sorrow weeping. Years passed—l 6aw a mother with her child ; And o’er it languish ; Years brought me back ; yet through her tears she In deep anguish. [smiled 1 left her—yeys had vanished ; I returned, And stood before her; A lamp beside the childless widow burned— >* Grid’s mantle o’er her! In tears I found her whom I left in tears, On God relying ; And I returned agaiin in after years, Ani found her dying. An infant first —and then a maiden fair— A wife—and then a mother— And then a childless widow in despair— Thus met a brother ! And thus we meet on earth ; and thus we part. To meet—oh! never Till death beholds the spirit leave the heart, To live forever. Mr. Callioun’s Last Moments We find in the Charleston Mercury the following statement, which is characterized by that paper as “ the official account ol'.the last hours and death ol Mr. Calhoun." It possesses a painful interest, and is evidently from one who witnessed the departure of the great Statesman ol the South. He says, under date of March 31st ultimo: Yesterday it became clearly apparent that he ! could survive but lor a very short period. He was j restless and evidently weaker, but notwithstanding ! he set up for two hours in the early part of the day. j He conversed very little until evening, when some letters were read to him, upon which he com men- j ted. He spoke of the feeling of the South on the i present agitating subject, and expressed his coufi- j dence that there .would scon be but one sentiment, ’ that the Southern people would unite as one man against Northern aggression. His confidence in : the Southern people was unwavering to the last. At hall-past 12 o'clock he commenced breathing 1 heavily, which occasioned some alarm to his sou,! Dr. Calhoun, the only member ol his family pres j ent during his last illness. He remarked that he ' felt unusually wakeful, juid requested his son to lie | down, who objected. Then he asked his son il he ! felt uneasy. His son replied :‘T do;" -had you not; better take some wine, father?" He replied: ‘ No; i I dont require any more stimulus." His son lelt his pulse, remarking, that it was very low. Mr. Calhoun said: “ I feel that I am sinking; but you had better lie down, John." His son did as he was requested, but felt very uneasy, as the difficulty ol breathing still continued. At 2 o'clock this morning, he called in a very feeble voice: “John come in to me." He did so, when Mr. Calhoun put out his arm and asked him to feel his pulse, remarking : “ I have no pulsation at the wrist. Take my watch from the table and put it in your trunk;" which was done. He then pointed to a bureau of drawers, and said: “Take my papers, and put them also in your trunk." — (These papers are the manuscript work on Govern ment and the Constitution.) He then remarked : “The medicine has had a delightful effect. lam in a perspiration.” At about 0 o'clock his son took a seat by the fire, desiring his lather to take some who said he had not rested at all. His son asked hirr il he had any pain. He replied “ No, I have not felt the slightest pain throughout this whole attack." His son asked : “ Are you comlortable now?" He replied: “I am perfectly comfortable." These were the last words of Mr. Calhoun. At about a quarter before six he made a sign with his hand tor his son to approach the bed.— Holding out his hand, he took that of his son. grasped it closely, looking very intently into his face, and moving his. ligs as if he desired to speak. His son perceiving that he was speechless, at once called the Hon. Mr. Venable, of North Carolina. When the latter went to his bedside, Mr. Calhoun took hold of his hand, pressed it, and presented his wrist, apparently to indicate his approaching disso lution. He looked'Mr. Venable very intently in the face while he was feeling his pulse. Mr. Ven ble remarked : “ You are pulseless, sir, and must take some wine," and,called for Maderia.' Mr. C. pointed to the wardrobe.' Mr. Venable got the wine from thence, and poured out half a tumbler full. Mr. C. took it in his hand, raised his head a’hd drank it. Mr. Venable then left the room to summon some friends, and was absent about five minutes. Soon after the Hon. Mr. Orr, and also the Hon. Mr. Wal lace, both of South Carolina, entered the room. When the door opened his eyes were directed to wards it, and were fixed upon Mr. Orr as he walk ed towards him, until he reached-the bed.. Mr. Orr leaned over to feel his pulse. Seeing his pur pose, Mr. Calhoun extended his arm. He was asked if he would have the physician, Dr. Hall, sent for. He shook his head. He then presented his wrist to Mr. Venable, remarked: ‘-The wine has produced no effect—there is no return of pulsation.” He adjusted his head on the pillow, looked Mr. Venable in the face, with an expres sion which seemed to say: “ I am perfectly con scious that it is all over.” A few moments after, when breathing with some difficulty, he put one hand to the top of his head, then passed it through his hair, and brought it down again upon his breast. He then breathed quietly, except a slight rattling in his throat, his eyes retaining their brightness, and his countenance its natural expression,-until the last breath (which was drawn with a deep inspiration,) when his eyes suddenly became dim. They were immediately closed by Mr. Venable. After Mr. C's eyes were closed, his countenance was that of - one who had fallen quietly asleep. He was conscious to the last moment. 1 At about eight o'clock on thp evening previous to bis death, Mr. Calhoun remarked that his mind was never clearer; that he had great facility in ar ranging his thoughts; and in reply to a remark oi his son's, that he was fearful he was overtasking his mind with thinking, he said: ‘T cannot avoid thinkirg of the political affairs of the country. L I could nave but one hour to speak in the Senate, 1 • could do more good than on any previous occasion of my life.” J. A. C. Counterfeiting-—A few weeks since, two men were arrested in New York city with about §7OOO in spurious notes of the New Haven Bank, in their possession. These were obtained from a man named Brockway, who was a Bank Note Engraver in New Haven; and a letter from his wife was found on the person of one of the men in which, she promised to be m the city the evening of the arrest, with $5OOO. A search of her residence wa> made, and $B5B in spurious New Haven Bank Notes were found in a crevice in a mantlepiece. A Short and True Story. David Wentworth had the kindest of hearts.— There was neither mete nor bound to his benevo lence, except inability. And happy were any man who had a tithe of the prayers that were offered up lor the welfare of my friend, by the unfortunate and wretched whom his hand had relieved. I speak of prayers—for it was the only reward he obtained; I mean here—-but I forgot. David was paying his attentions to an excellent young lady of his_native city. She was wealthy, beautiful and accomplished, and consquently had many suitors. Among them were richer and nobler (in extraction I mean) and handsomer men than David Wentworth, but n'importe there was a kind of frank-heartedness about my friend, that could not fail to bring him somewhere near the heart of his mistress, even if an emperor had been his rival. The young lady hit upon a project to put the characters of her lovers to the test. She had found a poor widow with a family, in distress, in one ol her benevolent excursions, and the idea occurred to her, that it would be a good opportunity to ascer tain what sort of stuff her lovers' hearts were made of. Letters were lorthwith indited, setting forth the good woman's tale, and forwarded to the differ ent gentlemen in the widow's name, requesting an answer and assistance. The first reply was a lecture on idleness and beg ging, and concluded with inlormation that the writer was not accustomed to give to those he did not know. This was from a $lO,OOO a year. The second advised her to apply to some of the benevo lent societies whose business it was to relieve those who were tiuly in want. This was from one who had a great reputation for benevolence—who had taken a leading part in the several charitable asso ciations, and whose pharasaical liberality had been blazoned in the Gazette. The lady thought, that interested as he was in the success of those institu tions, he displayed a very commendable reluctance about taking'the business out ot their hands. A third from a good-hearted and generous kind of a lellow—enclosed her a five dollar bill with his com pliments. Several took no notice of the poor worn an s petition. But there was another answer which the lady read with far different f|fMngs. It was from David, from SSUO a year—and I need not say like himself, kind and consoling. It spoke of the writer's narrow means, the rule he had adopted, un less persuaded of the object, and concluded by re questing an interview. “If." said he, *‘l find myself otherwise unable to afford the assistance you re quire, 1 trust I may be of service in interesting oth ers in your behalf." Nor was this mere profession. For it was but a feu weeks belore the widow found herself comfortably located, and engaged in a thriving little business, commenced by the recommendation, and carried on by the aid of my friend. And all this was done in genuine scripture style. There was no sounding of trumpets—and the right hand knew not the do ings of the left. But his lady love was a silent ob server of his conduct, and he received many a kind glance from that quarter, ol which he never sus pected the cause, She began to think that the hom age of a spirit like his was not to be despised; and she felt something very much like a palpitation of tht heart, as she questioned hers, respecting his in tentions. Such was the train of thought which was one evening, as is often the case, interrupted by a ,call from the person who had been its cause.— Hour alter hour passed by that night, and still David lin gered. He could not tear himself away. “She is a most fascinating creature,” thought he,“and good as she is beautiful, Can she ever be mine?” and a cloud came over his features, and he sat for a moment in silence. . “This suspense must be ended," he at length thought. He started as the clock told eleven. “You will certainly think me insufferably te dious," said he with a faint smile, “ but I have been . too pleasantly engaged to take note of time. And the sin ol this tre>pass on the rules of good breed ing must lie at your door. Beside, I have length ened this visit," he continued after a pause, “under the apprehension that, as it has been the happiest, it might also be the last it might ever be my good fortune to spend with -Miss H." The lady looked at him with some surprise. “Nay," said he, the matter rests with yourself. Will you forgive my presumption? Others, per haps more worthy of you, at least nobier and high er in th@ world's esteem, are striving for the honor ol your hand. And yet I cannot restrain myself from making an avowal which though it may be lutilf, D yet but a deserved tribute to your worth.” This lady did not swoon nor turn pale. But a flush ol gratification passsed over Jier face, and lighted her eyes for a moment. She frankly gave him her hand and looked up archly in his lace. “The friend of the fatherless and the widow,” she said, (David blushed) “can not fail to make a constant lover and husband." Indian Talk. The Minesota Pioneer states that on the 14th ult.. Governor Ramsey, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, held a “ talk,” at St. Paul’s, with a deputa tion of Winnebago Chiefs and Braves, twelve in number. They represent a portion of the Winne bagoes who are determined not to stay near the settlement, where supplies are prepared for them ; and who have, for some time past, been hunting on a part ot the grounds of the Sioux, over which they claim the right to range, in consideration of having made presents, about §3OO in value, to a few of the Sioux. The latter complain, as also do the Chip pevvas. The “talk" was'-opened by Old Dekora, who al luded to the Governor's recent visit to Washington, and wished to know what the President had said or done about their affairs. To this the Governor replied : i I saw your great father at Washington, and talked with him. He is your friend, and wished you well, and will make answer in a short time to your inquiries. Your great father has charge of a hundred other tribes of Indians besides the Winne bagoes, and therefore, cannot attend to your com plaints and answer immediately. The difficulties you complain of extend back many years, and it requires time to inve tigate them. I expect an answer for you, after a few moons, and will then let you know. Your great father inquired very kindly about you. Dekora replied that he was miserable, and made grievious complaints about-unpaid annuities, the poverty of the tribe, and their want of opportuni ties of hunting game. He concluded by saying that he had come down to see if the Governor send him up a train load of provisions. Gov. Ramsey told them kindly that the gradual disappearance of game from their country made it necessary for them to labor for their subsistence, and that, as regarded the unpaid annuities, the an nual allowance was not paid to any Indian who did not remain in his own country. He advised them to remain near the settlement, where the provisions were plenty. Andrew Jackson. This pure and inflexible old man, whilst living, received a full share of the abuse and calumny of his enemies. Now that he is dead, his loss to the Nation is most severely felt. Mr. Webster, in his last great effort, pays the following compliment to the patriotism of the illustrious dead:— “I hear there is to be a convention at Nashville. I am one who believes that if those worthy gentle men meet at all at Nashville, in convention, their object will be to adopt counsels of moderation—to advise the South to forbearance and moderation, and to advise the North to measures of forbearance and moderation, inculcating principles of brotherly love, and affection and attachment in every part of our common country. I believe, if they meet at all, they will meet for such purposes; for, certainly, sir, if they meet for any purpose hostile to this Union, they nave been singularly unfortunate and inappropriate in their selection of a place of meet ing. I remember that when the treaty was con cluded between France and England, at the peace of Amiens, a stern old Englishman, an orator who disapproved of the terms of that peace as dishonor abls. to England, said, in the House of Commons that if King William could know the terms of that treaty, he would turn in his coffin. Let me com mend that saying in all its emphasis and all its force, if anybody should think of meeting at Nash ville, for the purpose of concerting measures for the overthrow of the Union of these States, over the bones of Andrew Jackson!” “ THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS, WHERE LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD.”— Buchanan, CITY OF LANCASTER, TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 16, 1850. Mr. King’s California Report. Thomas Butler King's California Report gives a glowing account of the country. It treats sever ally of the population, climate, soil, productions, public domain, commercial resources, and mineral wealth of the country, and under several heads much important information is communica ted. The estimate of the mineral wealth and the rewards of those who have been at work there are very large, and cannot, of course, be received as precise, as they are only given as the results of general observation. The population of the country is now about 120,000. An accession by immigration during the year, beginning at the next dry season, on the Ist of May, is estimated at 200,000. The agricultural capacites of the State are vast ly greater than has been heretofore represented.— There is a vast extent of pasture lands, unsurpassed anywhere in the world, in verdure and richness. The wild oats grow spontaneously over the plains, yielding an annual crop at the rate of forty bushels per acre. Any number of cattle and sheep may be raised. Two hundred thousand head of cattle must be brought into the country during the next two years. The cattle were formerly killed for their hides, which was the chief article of export; and they were worth but $4 a head; but now they are worth s*2o or $3O a head. California is especially adapted to wool-growing; a gentleman was about to import 10*000 sheep from Mexico, with a view to go into that business. I he future value of the vineyards is represented as very great. As to the commerce of the country he estimates the value of imports needed in California from the Atlantic Sta f es, for the next year, at four millions of dollars in flour, six millions in lumber, and two millions in other articles. As to the article of lumber, its price is now $75 per thousand, and cannot be lower, because it is below the cost of labor necessary for cutting and sawing lumber in Cattlorma. It can be carried to California for $24 a thousand; and supposing it to cost $2O here, it will continue to pay. The gold region is described as extending 000 or GOO miles Jrom the South to-, the North, and from 40 to GO in width, from east to West. It rises gradually to an inclined plane, from the Sacramen to valley to the elevation of 4,000 leet, at what are called the Foot Hills. Between these hills and the Sierra Nevada, a number of steamers have their source, and take their course through the Foot Hills, westward. Mr. King examined twelve of these rivers, and found.them all very rich in gold. The territory on the. North is very rich in gold; and the conclusion is inevitable, from all the facts, that the whole quartz plain, containing three thousand square miles, is full of gold bedded in the quartz by the torrents, may be found in dust and lumps in the beds of the stream. From innumerable evidences and indications, it has come to be the universally admitted opinion among the miners and intelligent men who have examined this region, that the gold, whether in detached particles or pieces, or in veins, was crea ted in combination with the quartz. The rivers in forming their channel#, or break ing their way through the hills, have come in con tact with the quartz containing the gold veins, and by constant attrition cut the gold into line flakes and dust, and it is found among the sand and gra vel of their bejls at those places where the swift ness of the current reduces it, in the dry season, to the narrowest possible limits, and where a wide margin is consequently left on each side, over which the water rushes, during the wet season, with great lorce^ The quicksilver mines are said to be numerous, extensive, and very valuable. There is one near San Jose, which belongs to, or is claimed by Mr. Forbes, of Tepic, in Mexico. The cinnabar ore, which produces the quicksilver, lies near the sur face, is easily procured, and believed to be re markably productive. The Accusing Spirit. A farmer on his return from the market at Southam, in the county of Warwick, was murdered. A man went the next morning to his wife, and in quired if her husband came home the evening be lore; she replied no, and that she was under the utmost anxiety and terror on that account. “Your terror," said he, “cannot equal mine: lor last night, as I lay in bed, quite awake, the apparition of your husband appeared to me, showed me several stabs in his body, told me he had been murdered by such a person, and his carcase thrown into such a marl pit." The alarm was given, the pit searched, the body found, and the wounds answered the descrip tion given to them. The man whom the ghost had accused, was apprehended and committed on a vio lent suspicion of murder. His trial came on at Warwick, before the Lord Chief Justice Raymond; when the jury would have convicted him as rashly the justice of the peace had committed him, had not the judge checked them. He addressed himself to them in words to this effect: “I think, gentle men, you seem inclined to lay more stress on the evidence of an apparition than it will bear. I ran not say that I give much credit to these kind ot stories; but, be that as it will, we have no right to follow our own private opinions here. We areriow in a court of law, and must, determine according to it; and I know not of any law now in being which will admit of the testimony ot an apparition; nor yet, if it did, does the ghost appear to give evidence. “Crier,” said he, “call the ghost;”—which was thrice done io no manner of purpose; it appeared not. “Gentlemen of ttie jury,” continued the judge, “the prisoner at the bar, as you heard, by undenia ble witnesses, is a man of most unblemished char acter; nor has it appeared, in the course of the ex amination, that there was any manner of quarrel or grudge between him and the party deceased. I do verily believe him to be perfectly innocent;and, as there is no evidence against him, either positive or circumstantial, he must be acquitted. But from many circumstances which have arisen during the trial, I do strongly suspect that the gentleman who saw the apparition was himself the murderer; in which case he might easily ascertain the pit, the stabs, &c., without any supernatural assistance; and on such suspicion, I shall think myself justified in committing him to close custody till the matter can be'further inquired into.” This was imme diately done, and a warrant granted, for searching his house, when such strong proofs of guilt ap peared against him, that he confessed the murder, and was executed at the next assize.— Register of Crimes. Tlie Comet of 1264.— The attention of astronomers is now, and for some time has been, directed to the great Comet of 1264, which is sup posed to have relumed in 1556, and which is ex pected to re appear about this time, It is supposed to have a period of about 202 years; to have its perihelion within the orbit of Venus; and at aphel ion to be nearly one hundred times the distance of the eaith from the sun. Messrs. Barber and Hind of England, have expended a vast amount of labor in calculating the return of this comet; and accord ing to them, it is possible that, though expected in 1848, it may be retarded by Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, till 1851. It appears by a letter published in the National Intelligencer , from Professor M. F. Mayry, that the Rev. Mr. Jenkins, of Georgetown college, on the evening of the 28th of November last, while at sea on a voyage from • Baltimore to Rio saw a comet very distinctly, near the track' of the sun in the west, about 14 deg. above the hori zpn. It was quite light, apparently as large as Mars, tail curved, and pointing southward, and nearly a degree in length, as visible lo the naked eye, but much larger when viewed through the spy glass. • It was seen for twenty minutes by all the crew, when a cloud intercepted it, and was not af terward seen. The information is too indefinite for any one to decide upon the identity of this comet with that of 1264 and 1556; but from the high character of Mr. Jenkins, it is not doubted that a very remarkable comet is in our vicinity. ID" Of all the melancholy sights, a bachelor's home is the most so. A house without a woman, is like a world without a sky, or a sky without a star—dark, desolate and dreary. With the excep tion of the lady who “milked the cow with the crumpled horns," we know of nothing more forlorn and melancholy. Tbe Lost Gem. A BEAUTIFUL AND INSTRUCTIVE SKETCH. The black waters of the river of death were rol ling sluggishly onward. There approached one whose features bore traces of anxiety and sorrow; and with a bowed form she gazed into the turbu lent stream, as though fain to descry something far down its fathomless depths. A being of benign and celestial aspect appeared at her side, and said, “What seekest thou, sorrow ing one V' “Alas!” she answered, “I wore a spark ling jewel upon ray bosom. It was no paltry bauble, but monarch's gift, and invaluable. The wealth of India can yield none to match it.. In an evil hour it dropped from its resting place into this dark river. For a moment I saw it float near the brink, and stretched out my hand to regain it, but it was beyond my reach ; and it soon sank down till I saw ? it no more. It is gone—lost forever!” And in deep gloom she turned to depart. “Stay, mourner! Grieve not, but look again into the waters!'’ She looked, and a cry of'joy burst from her lips. “It is there ! I see it floating upon the dismal wave. Oh, shall it not be mine once more?” .The answer.came—“Nay," but thou art deceived. What thou seest is but a resem blance of what was thine. Yet, turn thy eyes and rejoice.” She obeyed, and beheld a star gleaming from a bright spot of azure ir. the murky sky, whose rays gave even the waves of that gloomy river a tinge of brightness, and whose reflection there she had mistaken tor her own lost gem. There came a tender and musical voice as the beautiful appearance vanished. “ Mourner, these restless billows, though fearful and dark to thee, roll up to the gate of Heaven.— Ever faithful to their trust, they bore the jewel, which was lent, not given thee, to its rightful owner, the Monarch of Heaven, and transferred to his care, it will shine forever in his glorious dwel ling place.” The mourner departed with a countenance thoughtful, yet cheerlul; her gaze no longer bent upon earth or the sorrowful river of death, but was meekly and trustingly raised to the Heavens. And that star, beaming into her spirit with rays of hope and gladness, was ever her talisman and her guide. Mother! who weepest for thy little one so early lost, that mourner art thou; that star is thy row angel child ! Dry thy tears, and ever rejoice that thou hast a treasure in Heaven.
