A  PLAINTIVE  I'OMH,  KY  SQUIHOB.
Why did I down to Hartford go ?
'Twas not iny squatter self to show ;
I went to hunt, I told you so,
My Mother.
To Wo'ster, Boston, Bunker Hill,
Cambridge, Charlestowa, Springfield, yet still
I went to search, with a wood will,
My Mother.
To clam-bake down in Rhody State,
Throughout Vermont and Maine, my fate
Was hunting thee, early and late,
My Mother.
I hunted for thee North and South,
With open eyes and gaping mouth,
Through heat and cold, the raiu aud drouth,
My Mother,
Tain at every railroad station,
Was my usual proclamation,
Made by me beforo the nation,
My Mother.
That I was ouly hunting thee.
The people said they came to see,
And would not let me silent be,
My Mother.
But out of me they would betray.
That same old speech from day lo day,
And keep me frum thc long away,
My Mother.
At length I hope I shall the find,
For thou hast boon a useful blind,
That I might often speak toy mind,
My Mother.
I have betrayed myself, I see,
The people have been fooling me,
I must in shame take leave of thee,
My Mother*
Go Aiieadism.— Sir Charles Lyell, when id thc
United States, received the following advice from
a friend : When you are racing with an opposite
■teamboat, or chasing lier, and tho other passengers are cheering the captain, who is sitting ou
the safety valve to keep it down with nis weight.
go as far as you can from thc engine, and lose no
time, especially if you hear the captain exc!aim»
'•fire up boys—put on the rosin !'! Should a servant call out, " Those gentlemen who have not
paid their passage will please go to the ladies' cabin I" obey the summons without a momen t's delay.
for then an explosion may be apprehended.—
" Wby to the ladies' cabin?" I said. Because it is
the cud of the boat, and they are getting anxious
for the personal security of those who have not
yet paid their dollars, being, of course, indifferent
about the rest. Therefore, never pay iu advance 1
for should you fall overboard during tho race, and
the watch cries out to the captain, "A passenger
overboard !" he will ask, "Has he paid his fare?'*
and if he receives an answer injihe affirmative, he
will call out, "Go ahead I"

For three days he had been completely blind. His

Webb if he could do anything to relieve the poor
animal,   Tbe doctor said be would try nitrate of
silver, which was a remedy commonly applied to
niinilar diseases in the human eyes.    The huge animal waa ordered to lie down, and at first, on tbe
the application  of the remedy, raised a most ex-

and gestures, evidently wished to express bis gratitude. ______________________
The Late To/al Bclifse of tue Sun.— E. J,
Lowe, one of the English Astronomical Expedition to Spain, thus describes the appearance ol
the Earth upon the occasiou of the late total
eclipse:
The darkness waa great; thermometers could
not bc read. The countenances of men were of a
livid pink. The Spaniards lay down, and their
children screamed with fear; fowls hastened to
roost, ducks clustered together, pigeons dashed
Bgainet the sides of the houses, flowers closed {Hi-
bisetts Africanus) as early as 2h. 5m.; at 2h. 52m.
CockB began to crow, ceasing at 2h. 57m., rccom-
meucing at 3h. 5m.
As darkness came on, mauy butterflies which
were seen about, flew as if drunk, and at last disappeared ; the air became very humid, so much so
that the grass felt to one of the observers aa if recently rained upon. At 5h. 55m. a mock eun wes
formed 22 deg. below the true sun, having the ordinary circular form. From the summit of Pena
Castilla, overlooking the Bay of Biscay, Mr. Heath
noticed the raagmfieeuce of the coloring of the
■ky reflected iu th - sea, while the water near ua
was of a deep leaden hue, owing to the clouds
overhead.
A number of the formers@f Minnesota have undertaken the culture of hemp. That State is said
lo be admirably adapted to the growth and culti
ration of this staple.

And nary a bite.

intervals between lhe laying down uf one office
and the assumption nf another, amount, wheu add
ed together, to less than two years.
The official career ol General Lewis Cass has
been even longer than that of Mr Adams. Commencing as a iiif mbi-r of the first Slate Legislature
of Ohio, in 1802 ; he has been in high public position ever since, a period of filty eight years.—
Wilhin lhat time he has been Governor of a Territory, Indian Superintendent. Secretary of War,
Minister to France. United States Senator fnr
twelve years, candidate for President, and Secretary of Slate. When he leaves the Secretary of
Stttfe'e Department, in 1861, he will comp'ete a
service ol about sixiy years in the high offtpes of
lhe governmeut. He is, indeed, the patriarch ol
our statesmen, so far as leu gth of official service
is concerned.

John (J Calhoun entered the House of ftepre-

In 1824 be was elected Vice President, and reelected in 1828. In 1831 lie resigned the station
ol Vice President to become a Uniud Slates Senator from Souih Carolina The reason ol this extraordinary slep was lhat he 'might champion the
cause of nullification iu the Senate, and reply to
the arguments of Mr. Webster on that subject,
which Wf re producing an extraordinary effect on
Uie country. He continued iu the Senate until

At the Breckinridge Democratic State Convention, at Sacramenlo, on the 12th of September, in
Governor Weller, the President o! the Convention,,
in the course of the valedictory address, communicated the following amusing piece of personal
history, a? reported by the Sacramenlo Dtmocratr
Speaking of Ohio reminds me of a circumstance
ilhistmtive of the prejudice existing against me
in lhat Stale. I was going down from Bellefon-
Laine to Springfield one Sunday morning. I had
heen exhorting the whigs the day belore—myself
and Col. Bill Allen — lo repentance, Coining back
to Springfield from Bellelontaloe I met a one-
horst; team, in which were seated three ladies, a
stout boy actio a as driver. I asked them i! they
were going lo Springfield.
They replied, "Yes."
" That's rather a heavy load for one horse. Suppose one of you get out and ride with me,''
A gr.l'.iiu; man 1 was in those days—a younger
man ;hau I am now—perhaps a trifle belter looking.    [Laughter.]
Well, oue ot the ladies jumped out of the wag-
en driven by iln: stout buy, and got into my buggy— oue ot the best looking, ot course. [Great
laughier.] When she got in with me, or soon afterwards, I discovered by her elose questioning
that she was a Yankee. She commenced hv asking
me how lar np country I had heen. I replied that
I had only been to Bellefontaine.
Ati. ah I" i xclaiimal she, '-ihey had & Locofoco meeting up there last night, didn't, they I"—-
[Lnngtiler.]
Yes,"l replied.
And those fellows, Bill Allen and Weller, were
up there spouting, wasn't tbey?"
Again, ol course, 1 had to make an affirmative
reply.
■• Well," said she, "what sort of a man is that
iVeller, anyhow''"
" Well."' said I, "be seems to be a nice sort of a
man.    What have yon beard of liim ?:'
" Nothing of that kind. I can assure you :! ahe
promptly replied. " I have heard that he was a
low blackguard—a very vulgar kind of fellow."
[Great Laughter.]
'• Now," said I will you be good enough to inform me who told you lhat?"
" Why, my father and brother told me so," she
replied.
" May I inquire what their politics are ?"
" They're Whigs, of course ; ain't you?"
•■ No," said I.
"Yob ain't," she incredulously inquired -y and
after gazing intently at me for a moment, she
added, " You loofc like a Whig."    [Laughter.]
When we got down to Springfield, I drove up
lo a church—she was a Catnolie—aod helped her
toalight. As. with my gallant aid, she dropped
gently on the pavement, she began expressing lier
thanks lo me for my kind service. Said she.
Stranger, you've been obliging to me, and I'd
like lo km
" Weller," jaid I.
" What?"
I again replied. ': Weller."
"What! John B. Weller, the man we were talking about?"
"The same." said I.
'• Really, sir," said she.
I ventured lo add : "It you had known who I
was, I suppose you wouft not have ridden with*
stranger. I don't think I -.voukl." [Great laughter aud cheering.]
I was pretty good looking in those days. I suspect; but some ol the Whigs of Ohio had a powerful prejudice agaiust me."
Things at Loose Ends.— When the churches are

One man. therefore, in New York, Missouri, Illinois, or Louisiana, could have defeated the election ol Mr. Adams.
There bas been only one election of Vice President by lhe Senate since tbe beginning «f tbe
Government. At the election of 1801,—under
the old mode—the House elecied tbe President,
and his competitor became Vice President in

on the licket of Jackson and Adams, was'sleeted
