' GPMtb. H. L. Campbell, wife of Hon.
James H. Campbell] Congressional Representative
from Sohuylkill County, has won considerable celeb
rity as a poetess.. She is the daughter of Judge Lewis,
and seems to have inherited much of the talent of
her distinguised father. Her last effusion, which we
find in the Miners’ Journal , and which evidenUy
points to the death of Preston S. Brooks, is entitled :
DEATH AT THE CAPITAL.
The domes of the city have lost the last light,
And slowly around them, now gathers the night,
With revel, and wassail, for gallant and dame, —
For student and statesman, both labor and fame —
With love for the cherished —neglect for the lorn,
And rest for the weary, who slumber ’till morn.
0, domes of tbe city, insensate and white!
0, gentles and ladies, so joyous to-night!
0, poet! enchanted with visions of fame,
And statesman, still lusting for power and acclaim 1
A lesson from Heaven falls fateful and fo3t —
Cease dalliance and travail, there’s death on the blast.
Fair maid, with tho lilies all pale on thy brow, —
He breathes on thy bosom, but passes thee now ;
Sweet babe —whom the angels are waiting above —
Still slumber to-night on tho bosom of love.
’Tis not to the watching or weak death has come
He wrestles to-night with the stalwart and strong !
Ye sainted, through sorrow ! be patient in prayer,
While. he cleaves’..with swift rushing the turbulent
Ye ripe for the harvest! all hoary and scro,
Yet tarry a while in your weariness hero ;
From the haught brow of manhood, falls shattered
tho crown,
And the locks which are brightest, in dust are laid
Behold, when the morning breaks misty and hoar,
How sleeps tho atkhta , whose Btrivings are o’er!
The fight arm of power lies palsied and chill,
But the lips, dumb forever, are eloquent still,
As the passionless face, in its solemn repose,
With a smile of good will looketh up to its fues.
Unmoved they beheld it when flushing in wrath,
But are awed with the calm which its helplessness
hath,
And words of contention have faltered to prayer,
O’er the soulless humanity stiffening there.
“ God pity his errors, and pardon our hate !
And mercy keep ward at the crystalline Gate !”
Washington. Juliet H. L. Campbell.
I’D FIND ME A GRAVE
BV LIEUT THOMAS WILSON, T\ S. A.
I’ll make me a home, says tho sailor lad,
. In the ship, as she rides the wave;
I’ll laugh when the ocean’s raving mad,
I’ll smile when tho tempests rave.
Lot the winds rave on, let tho black skies frown,
For what oare I how it be ?
When the vessel’s a wreck, I’ll go down, down, down,
And find mo a grave in the sea.
I’ll make me a home, says tho soldier bravo,
Amid battle and gory fight;
When the eagles in triumph above me wave,
I will shout with a mad delight,
I could die so well on the battlo field,
My shroud of the star flag’s fold ;
On tho spot where the trumpots of victory peal'd;
I’d find me a grave with the bold.
I wish not a home mid the battle’s tide,
Nor a life on the briny sea,
But I’ll settle mo down at my own fireside.
With her who is all t(T me.
I wish not a death in the battle’s strife,
Nor a tomb in tho ocean’s foam,
But I’d find, when my heart beat its last in life,
A grave near my boyhood’s home.
THE LEGEND OP ARGIS.
One of the most curious and pathetic
legends of Wallachia, tells of the founda
tioh of the great Metropolitan Church of
Argis.
In the middle of the fifteenth century,
the Prince of Niagoe, warring against the
Turks, was on the eye of fighting a great
battle, and went to the hermitage of a
pious anchorite, before whom he made a
vow, that if victorious he would build on
that very spot the most splendid temple
that ever sought the rays of the sun.—
Consequently, it is his triumph
was complete. The Ottomans were dis
persed, and he had nothing, to do but to
accomplish his purpose. Princes are usu
ally faithful in these kind of undertakings.
Niagoe had much wealth at his command,
and knew of an able architect named Ma
noli. To him he entrusted the task of
constructing the temple—bidding him
collect the best Greek, Arab and Byzan
tine workmen. That solitary region was
accordingly soon peopled with strangers.
The forest began to retire, the flanks of
the mountains were torn open, and the
bears that looked in while passing down
the long glades on the rugged ruins be
oam^: convinced that their occupation in
'that part of the world was gone forever.
Manoli had set about his task with en
thusiasm. There were day gangs and
night gangs, so that the walls rose as if
by magic.
Already the topmost pinnacle began to
appear to the distant traveler over the
surrounding trees, when suddenly the
edifice sunk into the earth, and spread
upon it in ruin. Manoli attributed this
disaster to some .defect in his plan, or to
the great haste with which it was carried
out, and began again with more oaution.
But no sooner had the building reached
its former elevation than down it came
again. Not one stone remained upon an
other . Manoli had confidence in his own
talent, and was therefore convinced that
some invisible power was determined to
cross his purposes. He would have been
inclined to give up the work altogether,
but Niagoe had become furious. As usual
in building enterprizes, the expenses of
the first construction exceeded the esti
mate by at least a half. To effect the
second the Prince was obliged to sell the
diamonds of his wife. His vow was cost
ing him dear, but he dared not break it.
The simpler course was to swear by his
beard that Manoli should be decapitated
and all his workmen hanged, if the church
was not finished by a given time.
Under these circumstances, Manoli went
to consult the aged anchorite who had
witnessed Prince Niagoe’s vow, and asked
him what was to be done..
“Build again,” was the reply, “and
when the last stone is about to be placed,
come to me, and by that time I may have
found an expedient.”
Manoli acccordingly, for the third time,
brought the church near perfection. Then
he paused and went to the anchorite, who
received him with a glare of horror such
as he /had never seen before, hurriedly
interrupted his pious salutation, and said,
in a strange unearthly voice, “Watch to
morrow from the pinnacle and the first
woman thou beholdest approaching the
east, cause her to be taken when she
reaches the place of work with whatever
she may have in r her arms and walled up
.within one of the pillars of the church.—
Thus only will success crown thy effortß.”
Manoli was a humane man, and his
heart shrank within him at hearing this
order. But his own life, with that of many
others, was at stake, and he went away
from the cell sadly, determined to obey
what he conceived to be a divine command,
lie was awakened next morning by the
singing of the workmen, and climbed up
immediately to the appointed place, when,
shading his eyes from the low sun with his
hand, he anxiously looked forth. Some
time passed and no female form appeared.
At length a slight figure was seen ap
proaching down a glade, in the midst of a
light mist kindled into gold by the still
slanting rays of the sun. Manoli was
abrfut to rejoice, when suddenly he recog
nized in the devoted victim his own young*
wife Uca, his wife of two Summers only,
the mother of the boy whose smiles and
even whose cries gladdened his heart,
when he drew near home. He knelt down ,
and prayed with streaming eyes, that soma
obstacle might present itself to turn back
her steps. He had scarcely concluded
when a huge dog rushed out from a thicket, 1
overturned the basket of provisions which
Uca was bringing for her husband, and
forced her to go back to prepare a new
meal.
i Manoli rejoiced, and continued to look ;
toward the silent and motionless East.— :
Suddenly the form of a woman again ap
peared. He strained his eyes beneath
his broad hard hand, leaning forward so
that he nearly toppled over, and to his
dismay saw that it was tJca again. The
' good housewife had returned to her home,
had replenished her basket, and was not
now walking, but running, lest her bus- j
baud might suffer by the delay. Manoli
resorted to prayer once more, although he
believed it was almost impious thus to
strive with fate. This time a gaunt wolf
stalked forth from beneath the trees, and
Uca again fled back to her dwelling.
Manoli returned thanks in a passion of
joy, and remained for the whole day still
looking anxiously out. The sun had gone
down beneath the loDg black horizon be
hind him; the treos had melted into a dim
; shadow; the course of the stream could no
longer be traced; the flocks on the hill
sides faded from sight, though their mo
notonous bleating and the shouting of the
shepherds could still be heard.
Manoli began to believe that the church
was destined never to be finished, and
resolved to share its destruction. Sud
denly, near at hand, quite among the
workmen, he beheld the indomitable Uca,
with a third basket of provisions on one
arm, and her babe upon the other. She
looked around for her husband, eager to
explain the causes of her delay, and to
justify herself. He was soon in her pres
ence. Looking on by the workmen’s
torches; which were already lighted, she
wondered at the solemnity of his aspect.
He did not shed many tears, for he be
lieved that he was obeying the thrice
expressed will of Heaven. He kissed his
wife tenderly, putting aside the hands of
the little child, which endeavored to clasp
his neck—for how could he have resisted
that caress I—and then in a loud, husky
voice, ordered the two victims to be in
closed in the central pillar of the great
aisle. They wondered and murmured—
but they obeyed—and the shrieks of de
spair that thrilled at first through the
darkness were soon drowned in the noise
of hammers, and chisels and pickaxes.—
Manoli looked sternly on until the pale
face of his wife had disappeared; and then
he went apart, and throwing himself on
the ground, spent the night in despair,
which no consolation came to visit.
Shortly afterwards the church was fin
ished, and all the country round came to
shower prsise on the architect. But some
say envy, and some say injured affection,
was on the watch. The most probable
story is that the father of Uca, a master
workman, silently excited his comrades
against Manoli. One day when he had
ascended the highest tower to see that all
was right, they drew away the ladder and
called him tauntingly to come down, if he
could. The unhappy man shrieked aloud,
endeavoring to justify himself. He had
obeyed the orders of Heaven, given through
the anchorite of the cell. They replied
that the anchorite had died the day before
his last visit, and that he had been deluded
by a fiend in human shape. His despair
then became overwhelming. But love of
life is strong. He was a great mechanician,
and endeavored, they say, to fabricate a
pair of wings, by which he might fly down
from that immense height.
He dared not to implore the succor of
Heaven, and he leaped with mad courage.
Down he came. The wings, shattered by
the first shock, beat uselessly around him
during that terrible dive. He was seen
to descend like an arrow ; and they say
that the earth opened like water to receive
him, and closed again over his head. The
legend asserts that ever since, at the hour
of midnight, a plaintive woman’s voice is
always heard murmuring through the
church, imploring Manoli 'to release her
and her child.
The present inhabitant of the ruined
Argis has never heard these words; for
he has never been present at the hour
when they are uttered. But he knows
that he can do so when he will. Mean
while, he never wakes at midnight without
offering up a prayer for the soul of poor
Uca, and even for that of the unfortunate
Manoli.
Munificent Donation. —George Peabody
has donated §300,000, to be increased here
after to half a million dollars, for the establish
ment of an Institute in Baltimore, the details
of which are given in a letter, published in
the Baltimore papers, from him addressed to a
number of the leading citizens of Baltimore,
whom he requests to act as trustees of the
fund. First, there must be an extensive li
brary, well furnished in every department of
knowledge, and of the most approved litera
ture, the books of which are not, except in
special cases, to he taken out of the building
—a library, in fact, for students and persons
engaged in researches. Second, arrangements
must be made for the regular periodical de
livery, at the proper season of each year, of
lectures by the most capable and accomplished
scholars and men of science, to which not more
than fifty scholars of each sex in the public
high schools shall bo admitted free. .Twelve
hundred dollars must also be distributed an
nually in the same schools, as prizes for merit
cleanlinesss, good manners, morality, etc. —
Third, there must be also an academy of mu
sic, with a capacious and suitably furnished,
saloon and all other facilities for musical ex
hibitions, ooncerts, and all the means for stu
dying music. Fourth, the plan includes a
spacious and appropriate gallery of painting
and statuary, with annual exhibitions of the
fine arts. Lastly, accommodations are to be
provided in the Institute for the Maryland
Historical Society.
“THAT COUNTRY IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS LABOR COMMANDS THE GREATEST REWARD. 55 -
LANCASTER CITY, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1857.
THE GOVERNESS.
BY AN OLD CONTRIBUTOR.
The old story ; I was a governess; a
poor dependant in a noble house. I had
many times seen the father of my two little
darlings ; I knew he was handsome, though
I seldom raised my eyes to his ; ■ I thought
him unwontedly gracious, but that was all.
They told me I was beautiful. Even the
stately old housekeeper, stately to all but
me, used to part my long hair with her
slender fingers and once she said in a
dreamy sort of way “ its very fine glossy,
child, its very soft and silky. In all the
wide world, child, there is nothing like a
beautiful face—and the Lord made man in
his image—oh ! be thankful, child, that
you are lovely, but often, often think that
through eyelids as white as yours, through
lips as ruby, on pure cheeks, over lofty
brows, through long and golden tresses,
between soft fingers, under gleamy teeth,
the worms, the worms have revelled, child.”
How I shuddered at this ! and once
when she spoke in her cold way, the bar
onet came in, saying, “ Don’t frighten her
good Mrs. Hunt ” Even then, I did not
think upon his kind glances and tender in
terest, as some girls might. The children,
fair-haired darlings, how they loved me !
They were both beautiful. So lovely !
Uraee was a fairy, sparkling-eyed child.—
Gertrude had deep, dark, shining eyes.
They were well named. Gertrude was
cajm, and reflective, given to strange say
ings, and dreamy, mysterious thoughts
Grace was only happy when both dimpled
hands were heaped with roses, and kisses
were showered on her round cheeks; she
lived in an atmosphere of love. Gertrude,
yes, even then, I think she had a being in
heaven.
I was only a governess, and 1 took no
airs upon myself. I was very humble
minded, for I had seen great trouble and
poverty ; very grateful, for my situation
was a delightful one, and everybody was
kind to me. There was a friend of the
family who always affected me strangely.
She was a noble lady, proudly handsome,
rich, and titled. She pretended to bo my
friend, but her cold, suspicious glances,
confused and made me unhappy. She gave
me much advice, was always telling me
how poor and lowly I had been, and how
humble I should be, cautioning me to be
ware of the baronet, and giving dark, mys
terious hints, that invariably frightened
me into a head-ache, and led me to shun
the good baronet.
One day when my brain was hot and
heavy, I carried little Grace over to Lady
Isabel, as she had requested me. My brow
beat and burned intolerably, so that 1 coud
not lift it up with ease.
“ You are getting subject to these head
aches,” said Lady Isabel, “you suffer,
don’t you?” .
“ More than I can tell,” I answered,
faintly. :
“ I can relieve you, easily,” she quietly
remarked.
“ How, tell me ? for it is very painful,”
I cried.
Her look flashed through my brain.—
She sat close beside me ; she gathered up
my heavy curls. “ Your hair, child,” she
muttered with almost closed lips, “ it will
induce brain fever; kill you, perhaps—let
me cut it off,” and she reached her scissors,
fastened in their silver.sheath.
“ No—no !” 1 cried, for I was proud of
my hair, and like a flash came the hideous
thought that this grand, beautiful woman,
was jealous of me—of a poor little govern
ess.
Her eyes flashed fire; she stood, her
jewelled hand lifted, her eyes gleaming
with furious passion.
“ Oh ! you think yourself a paragon of
beauty—l can see. You wish to retain
your long ringlets, that you may mesh them
about the baronet’s heart. Yes, you think
your bright eyes will enslave him. Yes,
you poor beggar; and so they may; but
mark me, minion, only to your disgrace.—
He knows how well you love him—laughs
at it; despises you for it—he—he told me
so.”
A blank came over my life—oh ! the
weary time that passed! I would not look
at nor speak to the baroDet, till our little
Gertrude died. I saw her well at evening ;
I was roused at midnight by the baronet
himself. A deathly chill crept over me,
as I cried, seeing his white face, “ leave me,
sir—how dare ”
He had not heard me, 1 humbly hoped,
for his words dispelled my terror. “My
little Gertrude is dying, and calls for yf>u.”
Till she died, that dear head rested on
my'bosom; in the morning, I laid back
the damp curls and kissed her cold lips.—
She was gone.. “ I must go,” I whisper
ed, over her clay—“ I cannot stay here ;
it is agony.”
So not long after, I gathered my few
clothes, and stole softly from the house,
that envy and jealousy had made terrible
to me. 1 shall never forget that night.—
The hills were white with moonlight, and
I wanted to pluck- one violet to take with
me. In that quiet hour, I knelt sobbing
over the little mound, breathed one prayer,
gathered my flowers and turned to go—l
knew n,ot whither. A tall form stood be
side me, I could not fear him now, nor
dislike him ; he was so pale, so sorrowful,
as he said, “ Lillian, what does this mean ?
Where are you going, my child ?”
His voice trembled. I turned away,
and the tears ran down my cheeks.
“Do we not treat you well, Lillian 1”
he asked, how mournfully !
“ Yet, oh! yes,” I murmured, “ you
have been only too kind.”
“ And my poor little motherless child ;
would you leave her, Lillian ?”
At this I lost all my self-control. “If
you had not jested at me,” I sobbed “ de--
spised me, boasted that I—l -”
“ Stop, Lillian, what do these words
mean ?” he asked in stern tones.
• “ Lady Isabel!” I gasped, and as I
grew calm, as far as my delicacy would let
me, I gave her cruel language word for
word.
“It is false—false, all false,” he said,
taking my hand, “ for so far from boasting
that I knew' you loved me, Lillian, I did
not dare believe that one bo young, so
beautiful, so good and gentle, might feel
other than sentiments of friendship, for a
man so much older and graver than her
self.” His voice grown soft and musical
—I was astonished—overwhelmed ; my
confidence deserted me.
“ Yes, Lillian, gladly would I make you
my own dear wife,” he added, drawing me
to his side. “True, you have neither
gold, nor station, but the wealth of a pure,
glad young heart like yours is all I ask.—
Say, will you take the place of the saint
ed one, who lies here with little Ger-
trude ? Lillian, tell me ; can you love me
well enough to marry me 1”
Oh! heaven knows I had long, long
loved him, not daring to whisper it to my
self in the darkest night; and over Ger
trude’s grave, I told him, “ Yes.”
Poor Lady Isabel! she had trusted to
her beauty, her gold, her power, and they
had failed her. When she first saw me
with my noble husband, she grew white
with anger, disappointment and terror,
that her duplicity had been discovered.—
Poor Lady Isabel! —she is unmarried to
this day, and she loved the baronet herself.
From the N. Y. Spirit of the Times.
HOW JIM DONNELLAN OUT-TRA
DED UNCLE BILLY SNOW.
Old Uncle Billy was and is the keenest
trader in the country. He was never
known to make a bad bargain. Many a
trap has been laid to catch him, but his
operations always turned out so as to add
something to his pile, and still more to his
reputation. Some time since a party of
young men, talking of Uncle Billy’s great
luck in this way, various instances were
mentioned of his extraordinary trades and
his uniform success. Jim Donnellan of
fered to bet that he would catch him be
fore two days. Of course that was taken
as soon as proposed, and soon after Jim
left them to make his preparations to win.
The next day was court day, and Jim and
Mr. Snow met at the Court House.
‘ Good morning, Uncle Billy,’ said Jim ;
‘ all well to day ?’
‘ Pretty well, I thank you Jeemes, my
‘ Any trade on hand this morning ?’ en
quired Donnellan.
‘Nothing in particular, Jeemes ; times
rather dull just now ; people don’t trade
as they used to do.’
‘ That’s a fact, Uncle Billy,’: responded
Jim.’ Well since nothing better offers,
s’pose you and 1 make a trade?’
‘No objection in the world, Jeemes. Go
ahead and let’s hear from you.’
‘ Well, Uncle Billy, I have a mare yon
der, that I want to trade for that of yours
—how will you trade V .
‘ I don’t know exactly, responded Mr.
Snow, ‘ but as mules are generally consid
ered worth more than horses, and your
mare is getting along in years, I spose
ten dollars would’nt be too much, would
it? Give me ten dollars and the mare,
and you may take the mule.’
‘Done!’ exclaimed Jim, perfectly de
lighted.
The money was paid over, and the crit
ters handed over to their new masters.—
Jim took the mule home, and that night
the beast lay down and died. This was a
sore blow to our hero, but he had one more
day left, and determined to save himself.
The next morning found him and Snow at
the same place, and in conversation as fol
lows :
‘ Uncle Billy,’ said Jim,‘l think you
come the strong game over me yesterday,
in that mule of yours. I dont like him so
much this morning as I did yesterday—l
dont think he improves on acquaintance—
what’ll you take to rue !’—(swap back.)
‘ Now, Jeemes, my son,’ answered Uncle
Billy, ‘I don’t want to be hard on you, but
you took me up on the first hop, and you
know a trade’s a trade. But if you are
anxious to ru», I dont care much. Give
me ten dollars more and you may have
your mare back.’
‘ Uncle Billy, I’ll do it!’ exclaimed Jim
in great delight. ‘ Bud only on one cone
dition—each man nljidt come after and
take away his I didn’t bring
my mule along toaay, and I see you
didn’t ride the mare, so it is as long as it
is broad, I’ll give ten dollars now, and I’ll
go home with you first and get the mare,
and afterwards you can send or come for
the mule at any time.’
‘ Any way, Jeemes,’ replied Mr. Snow.
The money was paid, and Jim and the
old man started. The next day when the
crowd had met to deoide the bet, Jim was
there giving his' experience as follows :
‘ The old man and I went along very
cosily together, talking about everything
in the world except our trade. This ques
tion I dodged. I was afraid to open my
lips until I got my mare safe. At last
we reached the old man’s house. He said
to me, as we entered the yard—
‘ Jeemes, my son, there is your mare—
you can take her away with you.’
‘ And boys, if there wan’t the old mare
layin’ in the yard as dead as a door nail.
The infernal cuss died the same night with
the mule /’
Past and Present Condition of the
Negro.—The new York Observer, in the
■course of an article on Slavery, says :
“ When the ancestors of those negroes
were torn from their homes in Africa, by
the slave traders of New England, and
placed under the influence of Christianity
at the South, they were among the most
degraded and miserable of the human spe
cies—slaves of cruel masters and victims
of bloody superstition, believers in witch
craft and worshippers of the devil.
And now what is the condition of their
descendants ? Several years ago, more
than 300,000 of them were members of
Protestant Evangelical Churches in the
slaveholding State's ! About 10,000 Amer
ican negroes, trained chiefly at the South,
transplanted to Liberia, now rule nearly
200,000 natives of Africa, and through
their schools and churches are spreading
the light and love of the Gospel in that
land-of darkness and heathenism.
True, more than nine-tenths of the ne
groes of the South are still slaves, but is
slavery under Christian masters in Amer
ica, the same as under heathen tyrants in
Africa 1 Degraded as these slaves may
still be compared with the sons of the pil
grims of New England, or even with the
mass of laborers in some of the enlightened
countries in Europe, can 3,000,000 or
1,000,000 negroes, bond or free, he found
in any part of the world, who oan oompare
for good .condition, physical, intellectual
and moral, with the 3,000,000 slaves at
the South?
Has Christianity, aided by all the wealth
of British Christians, done as much during
the last twenty years for the elevation of
the 800,000 emancipated negroes in the
West Indies ? British philanthropists
themselves being the judges of what it has
effected there, as it has done during the
same period for the elevation of our 3,-
000,000 American slaves ? ,

’—BUCHANAN.
Meeting of Gen. Jackson and J. Q.
Adams at President Monroe’s Levee.
—The following aocount of the rencontre
between Gen. Jackson and John Q. Ad
ams, at President Monroe’s Levee, the
night after Adams’ election over Jackson
for the Presidency by the House of Rep
resentatives, is taken from Peter Parley’s
“ Recollections of his Lifetime
I shall pass over other individuals
present, only noting an incident which re
spects the two persons in the assembly,
who, most of all others, engrossed the
thoughts of the visitors—Mr. Adams, the
elect; Mr. Jackson, the defeated. It
chanced in the course of the evening that
these two persons, involved in the throng,
approached each other from opposite di
rections, yet without knowing it. Sud
denly, as they were almost together, the
persons around, feeling what was to hap
pen, by a sort of instinct, stepped aside
and left them face to face. Mr. Adams
was by himself; Gen Jackson had a large,
handsome lady on his arm'. They looked
at each other for a moment, and then
Gen. Jackson moved forward, and, reach
ing out his long arm, said—“ Hew do you
do, Mr. Adams ? I give you my left
hand—for the right, as you see) is devoted
to the fair ; I hope you are very well, sir.”
All this was gallantly and heartily said
and done. Mr. Adams took the General’s
hand, and said, with chilling coldness—
“ Very well, sir; I hope Gen. Jackson is
well!” It was curious to see the western
planter, the Indian fighter, the stern sol
dier who had written his country’s glory
in the blood of the enemy at New Orleans
—genial and gracious in the midst of a
court, while the old courtier and diplomat
was stiff, rigid, and cold as a statue ! It
was all the more remarkable from the fact
that, four hours before, the former had
been defeated, and the latter was a victor,
in a struggle for one of the highest objects
of human ambition. The personal charac
ter of these two individuals was in fact
well expressed in that chance meeting;
the gallantry, the frankness and the hear
tiness of the one, which captivated all; the
coldness, die distance, and self-concentra
tion of the other, which repelled all. A
somewhat severe, but still acute analyst of
Mr. Adams’ character says : “Undoubted
ly, one great reason of his unpopularity
was his cold antipathetic manner, and the
sußpiciomof selfishness it suggested, or at
least added greatly to confirm. None
approached Mr. Adams but to recede.—
He never succeeded—he never tried to
conciliate.”
I recollect an anecdote somewhat illus
trative of this. When he was a candidate
for the Presidency, his political friends
thought it advisable that he should attend
a cattle show at Worcester, Mass., so as to
conciliate the numbers of influential men
who might be present. Accordingly he
went, and when there many persons were
introduced to him, and among the rest, a
farmer of the vicinity—a man of substance
and great respectability. On being pre- 1
sented, he said :
“ Mr. Adams, I am very glad to see
you. My wife, when she was a girl, lived
in your father’s family; you were then a
little boy, and she has told me a great deal
about you. She has very often combed
your head.”
“ Well,” said Mr. Adams, in his harsh
way—“ I suppose sho oombs yours now !”
The poor fellow slunk back like a lashed
hound, feeling the smart, but utterly un
conscious of the provocation.
A “BLOWER.”
There is no denying that there is a class
of individuals who seem to think that there
is nothing in life so desirable as being in
timately acquainted with prominent public
characters. We have read many of such,
but Maj. Luckey, as described in the fol
lowing, is most decidedly just a huckle
berry above the persimmon of many of
them.
Whenever the Major has a stranger in
the neighborhood, •he opens : wide and
“ spreads bimself,” and with a success that
leaves us nothing to desire. The following
scene took place between the Major and
Colonel Peters, “ late arrival ” from Ver
mont.
“ Major, 1 understand from Gen. Coombs
that shortly after the revolution you visit
ed England. How did you like the
jaunt ?”
“ Capitally! I hadn’t been in London
five hours before Rex sent for me to play
whist, and a deuced of a time we had of
it.”
“ Rex!—what Rex ?”
“ Why, Rex the King—George the HI.
The game came of at Windsor Castle,
Rex and I playing against Billy Pitt and
Ned Burke, and resulted rather comically.”
“ How so ?
“ As we were playing the last game, Rex
said in rather a familiar manner, ‘ Major,
I suppose you are acquainted with Charles
Washington, are you not V ”
“ No sir-ee,” said I, “I am not—-but I
tell you who I am acquainted with—George
Washington, the Father of his Country.”
“ Father of rebels !” said he. “He was
a cursed rebel, and had I served him right,
would have hung him long ago.”
“ This of course riled me to that degree
that I just drew back and gave him a blow
between the eyes, that felled him like a
bullock. The next moment Pitt and Burke
mounted me, and in less than ten minutes
my shirt and breeches were so badly torn
and tattered that I looked like Lazarus.—
This gave me rather a distaste for English
society; on the next morning I set sail for
America. Six weeks after I landed at
Washington. The first person I met after
entering the city was Q.”
Q !—what Q ?”
“ Why that old Federalist, Quincy Ad
ams. . He wanted me to play nine pins
with him. I did so, and won 5200 at two
shillings a game, and then had a row.”
“ About what V’
“ He wanted to pay me off in Continen
tal money, worth a shilling a peck. I got
angry, and knocked him into a spittoon.—
While I still had him down, Jim came in
and dragged me off to the White House.”
“ What Jim V’
“ Why, Jim Madison. I went and play
ed euchre for two hours, when Tom oame
in’ and insisted that I should go home
with him.”
“What Tom'!”
“ Why, Tom Jefferson. Jim, however,
would not listen to .it, and the oonse
quence was that they went in to fight. In
the midst of it, they fell over the banisters,
and dropped about fifty feet. When; I
left they were giving each other “ fits ” in
the coal oellar. How .it termininated I
never could learn, as just then Martha ran
in and said I must accompany her to
Mount Vernon to see George.”
“ What Martha ?”
“ Martha Washington, wife to George
Washington, the old boy that gave Jessey
to the bloody Hessians.”
About here, Coombs said the stranger
began to discover that he was swallowing
things. The next stage that came along
he took passage for an adjacent town. The
Major we believe, is still living, and still
insists that the wolloping he gave .George
Rex is “ the greatest and best thing on
record.”
The Larcest Room.— The largest room in
the world is at St. Petersburg, Russia, and is
G5O feet in breadth. By daylight it is used
for military displays, and a battullion can
conveniently manceuver in it. In the evening
it is often converted into tfcvast ball room, when
it is warmed by sixteen prodigious stoves, and
20,000 wax tapers are required to light it
properly. The roof of this structure is a
single aTch of iron, the bars alone on which
it rests weighing 12,830 lbs. The most won
derful part of the room is, that there is not a
single pillar or arch to obstruct the view.
Srsi’EssioN Bridge from New York to
Brooklyn. —One of our exchanges says:
“ Mr. John A. Roebling, of Trenton, who
constructed the Niagara suspension bridge,
and is now building a similar bridge over the
Ohio, from Cincinnati to Covington, suggests
the construction of a suspension bridge from
Brooklyn to New York city, which shall be
200 feet high in the centre, so as to allow the
passage of the tallest vessels under it. Over
the bridge two railroad tracks to be laid, upon
which passenger trains to be run every five
minutes. The trains to be drawn over by
means of wire ropes, passed over machinery,
to be moved by stationary steam engines at
each end of the bridge. A massive stone
column at each end, 300 feet in height, to
sustain wire cables, to whioh the tracks are
to be attached. The estimated cost of the
work will be two millions of dollars, which,
it is calculated, will yield a net income of
SGOO,OOO, leaving a very handsome profit.”
Extraordinary Delusion.— The Philadel
phia North American publishes a detailed
account of one of the most remarkable cases
of delusion of recent date which has just oc
curred in that city. A large number of igno
rant Germans have, it seems, permitted them
selves to be victimized by a woman of their
own race, who pretended to be the sister of
Jesus Christ. She appenrs to have exercised
unlimited control over them, extorting large
sums of money, jewelry, etc.

EXPLANATION
The term AMBROTYPE, by which those Pictures am
designated; is derived from the Greek word Ambrotos, sig
nifying indestructibility, permanency, <Sc. The Picture is
taken upon plate glass, to which another plate of corres
ponding size is secured with an indestructible cement, by
by which the picture will retain its original brilliancy
for ages; it will not corrodo by acids, nor be injured by
water or climate. It is bold in its effect, beautiful in tone,
surpasses any thing in the gradations' of light and Bhade,
and may be seen in any light. Tliu public are cautioned
against imitations made on single plates of glass , with the
Slack varnish in immediate contact with thu Picture.—
buch are not permanent, as the varnish must crack and
destroy the Picture.
AMBROTYPE STERESCUI’ES MUST BE SEEN,
to be appreciated—the relief being fully as perfect as life.
Citizens and Strangers are invited to call at the Ambro
type Gallery of the undersigned, and examine specimens
before they procure Pictures elsewhere, as they are
assured of polite attention,
