The Voyage of Life.
There is a brond stream,
;Tisa beautiful stream,
IS floweth along to Death's ocean ;
Its waters more still
Than a murmuring rill,
Till the storm fill the deep with commotion.
To the ocean of death,
Doth the current beneath
Flow onward, unceasing, forever,
Aud our weary limbs lavo
In its dark curling wave,
When we've braved the last storm on life\i
river.
There is a frail bark,
'Tis a beautiful bark.
Launched trembling upon life's broad river,
Its sails are all spread,
And the port is ahead,
Where the bark finds a haven forever.
The freight il doth hold
Is more precious than gold,
'Tis a soul, ever living, immortal;
And the angels above
With their pinions ot love,
Shall waft it into the blessed portal.
There is a green isle,,
'Tis a beautiful isle.
It dimples the waves of ihe river ;
On the emerald shore
Lies the voyager's oar,
And he's free from vexation forever.
True friendship is there,
And the sweet balmy air
Is perfumed with Eden's own flowers ;
And the iuceuse they breathe,
And the impress they leave,
Never cloys, but enlivens bis powers.
There is a bright star,
'Tis a beautiful star,
It twinkleth over the ocean
And it seems to the sight
Of the voyager at night,
Like the shrine of an angel's devotion.
JTis the bright star of love,
And it shineth above.
To cheer on his way the earth-weary.
'Tis a beam from His eye,
Who hath placed it on high,
To light up life pathway so dreary.
There is a bright land,
'Tis a beautiful land,
It lieth beyond the dark ocean ;
There the sanctified rove
Through the bowers of love,
And forever are free from commotion.
There the faithful shall dwell,
And their thanksgiving svell,
When the chains that have  bound them are
riven ;
And before Him will fall,
Who is Lord over all :
0 ! the name of that bright land is heaven.
It was a complete sylvan grotto, and wiihin it, aa
seemed most meet and fitting, was its nymph.
A young girl, apparently about sixteen, sat on
!♦»■»<
How I went Angling.
"I do wish, Bob, you would get married!" cried
my mother impatiently, one day after she had endured my company a whole long summer morning.
The suggestion was by no means a new one ;
for I was five and thirty, and it had been iterated
and reiterated by all my family ever since I was
twenty-five. I therefore regarded my mother's
remark as the beginning ofa kind of family ritual, and responded as usual—
'■' Why so, ma'am !"
■'Because,"  she answered   shortly,   deviating
somewhat from the beaten track, " it's high time."
" Granted," said I.
"Yes." pursued my mother, "you are old
enough, aud you're rich enough, and you're clever enough—and why you don't get mar.ried. I
can't see. You would be much happier than you
are idling about here with nothing better to do
than to follow an old woman about from cellar
to pantry, putting your hands to every bit of mischief which "Satan finds for idle hands to do—
and all for the want of some sensible employment."
" Would petting a foolish wife be a sensible employment?" I asked, laughing.
" She need not be foolish."
"Butthe wise virgin will not have me, and I
will not have a foolish one ; and there is just my
trouble."
"You are too modest by half," returned my
mother as she was leaving the room.
I pondered that last remark ot my mother's. I
thought it showed discernment and judgment, and
wondered more people were not of her way of
thinking. The melancholy general reflection that
modest worth is almost sure to be underrated,
threw me into a pensive and melancholy mood,
aud, snatching up my hat and fishing tackle, I
sauntered out for a reverie under cover of my favorite sport.
The subject of my late conversation continued
to occupy my thoughts. The truth is, my mother
was not more -anxious to see me married than I
was to be married, I had always regarded the
married state as the happiest; my heart glowed
as much as any man's every did at the picture my
fancy drew of a loving family and happy home.
But the mischief of it was I could not find any
one to please me. I did not consider myself, uor
mean to be, over fastidious; but among all the
flat, fluttering furbelowed fine ladies I met in society, I found so little nature, so little goodness,
so little heart, that I could not fall in love with
them let me try as I would.
It was truly a lamentable case. Here was I, a
really clever enough fellow—well to do in the
world:—considered, as I knew well enough, something ofa catch—willing and anxious to be caught,
aud nobody skillful enough to do it. It was almost a parallel case with that ot the poor pig in
the nursury rhyme, which run about the streets
ready roasted, with a fork stuck in his side, crying,
" Who'll eat me? who'll eat me ?"
Pondering ibis gloomy thought, I wandered on,
and on, quite beyond my usual bouuds, and at last,
rather tired, I clambered up a steep rock which
overhung the brOok I had been following, and
Bat down to rest.
It was a true summer scene—quiet and warm
and bright—nicely shaded, however, where I lay,
and the cool sound of the rippling water added
just the only charm possible where all was so
charming.
I listened with delight; but in doing so became sensible that besides the monotonous babbling of the brooklet, there mingled other sounds
of splashing water, which occurred at irregular
1 intervals, and which seemed to proceed from below the rock on which I reclined. My curiosity
led me to explore the mystery, I clambered qui to
to the top of the rock, and looked down over its
furthest edge.
Cupid, god of love! how was I rewarded ! The
rock, oa the side over which I looked, descended
sheer some fifteen or twenty feet, when a projecting ledge formed a kind of natural seat, below
which the water rippled, The spot was quite
hung over and shaded by trees andjthick shrubs-
the rocky ledge bathing her feet. Her attitude
aud occupation reminded me strongly of the pretty picture we have all seen in old fashioned annuals, of Dorothea—except that my little beauty was
evidently gay and fresh and lively, while Dorothca-
in the picture is weary and sad.
I could not make up my mind for a time to disturb eo charming a scene and continued to gaze
in silence from my lurking place.
Ah ! those dainty little white feet, with their
pink-tipped toes, wliich gleamed so fair through
the clear water—or Cashed for a moment above
flinging about the bright, glittering
drops ; and then plunging again beneath the cool
blue—never shall I forget them! The gracefully
bent head, with its bright golden curls and braids,
against which now and then the sun glinted from
a chink in the leafy screen—the lovely neck and
arm—the cheek delicately tinted With pink, of
which I now and then caught a glimpse, formed a
picture more enchanting than anything I had ever
imagined. More than all, the perfect innocence
and modesty which accompanied all the movements of this secoud Susanna, (an unfortunate allusion, by the way ; but I scorn the idea that any
oue should connect me in thought with those rascally, peeping, sneaking elders,)—however, as I
was going to say when I intcGnipted myself, the
modesty of my sweet Diana charmed me even more
than her beauty.
My heart of ice suddenly burst into a flame.
" Heavens!" cried I to myself as I felt it thumping against my side, "'what is this new sensation?
B0lj E , your hour is come.   You're in love 1"
At the moment I came to this conclusion, the
float of my fishing line, dropped at the feet of ray
charmer, and immediately—well, I'm net going
to lay before the confidentiul public an account of
all my delicate pnd skillful manccuvering—enough
that within half an hour I was seated socially by
my water fairy's side trying to look as much like
Neptune, or Massaniello, or any other hero, I did
not care which, aslcould. I gave a sly tweak or
two to my shirt collar to make it lie down, sailor
fashion ; turned back my wristbands and kept my
hat carefully on, so that one little spot on my
crown which was growing thin might not be observed ; and flattered myself I should do pretty
well in my new role.
"Nora—I soon discovered her sweet name-
was most charmingly gay and chatty. No prudery, or thoughts of evil, ruffled the current of her
child-like, innocent thoughts. She was a careless
child at play, glad ofa playfellow.
I would have joyfully lingered for hoursin that
enchanted grotto; but ere long Nora rose and
sauntered forth. I followed, endeavoring to beguile the flowery way she led me as agreeably for
her as the wolf did for Little lied Riding Hood,
and while schemes as deep laid and appropriate,
though less bloodthirsty, towards my innocent
companion, formed themselves in my mird.
I was never in such spirits—I was charmed with
myself in the novel character of a wooer. The
railroad rapidity with which the drama progressed
excited me. In one short hour I, the impregnable,
the flinfy-hearted, had not only fallen head over
heels in leve. but also, I flattered myself—but
mum ; of all things I hate a boaster.
However, as I have said, I was in high spirits
and excited; and, among other nonsense, ventured
at last to say, laughingly—
'■'Do you know, sweet Nora, that I have been
haunted by a singular presentiment ever since the
moment I first caught a glimpse of you?"
" What is it ?" asked she, smiling.
"That you will one day be my w'irel" I ex"
claimed with bold emphasis of conviction and determination,
Nora burst into the merriest laugh, and at the
same moment turned into a little path which led
down from the door of a rose-wreathed cottage-
A young and handsome gentleman advanced to
meet us, and Nora, with the demurest of mischievous smiles, curtseyed low as she presented
her husband!" I saw the look of mingled coquetry, mischief, and curiosity which she stole
at me from under her downcart lashes ; I saw the
difficulty she had to repress her merriment; 1
saw what a fool I had been making of myself
and I turned precipitately to fly. Nora's pent-up
laughter now burst forth, peal after peal rang on
the air, and I heard my tormentor call after me—
" Pray, pray, sir angler, return, and I will show
you my baby !"
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's twenty years
from that day to this ; but I'm a bachelor yet; I
suppose always shall be; for I am as far ofl as
ever from finding my ideal.
I cannot say the adventure I have narrated had
any very deep or lasting effect upon me, aud yet
it had, though ; for since that v<ry same sumra
afternoon, I have never  gone   angling ;   and

What  impudent   questions are  these!    Hi
should au editor know?
When a lady get's stalled in a gutter,
That runs in a populous street,
(Like a fly that is stranded in butter,)
And has to uncover her feet;
As gently the calico lifts she,
Aud gives; it her graceful sweep,
Is a " feller" to blame when he chances
To give at her aukles a peep?
Ju&t to see if they're thick or they're thin,
Mr. Editor, is it a sin ?

Mutual Attachment.—A lady friend of mine
walking  on Broadway a short time ago, when
gentleman's  coat button caught in the fringe of
her  shawl.     Some  moments   elapsed before the
parties were separated.
" I am attached to you, madam," said the gentleman good buuioredly, while he was industriously trying to get loose.
" The attachment is mutual, sir," was the equally good-humored reply.
Or when a plump bosom is covered

Within the lace meshes to peep?
Just to judge of the contents within—
Mr. Editor, is it a sin?

unanimous consent of the convention. Cries of

Fifteenth Ballot—Wben New Hampshire was
culled, Harry Hibbard rose to address the Convention. Theie was a sudden calm, and his words
were listened to with profound attention. He
said:
Mr. President—The time has come wben tbe
New Hampshire delegation deems it a duty tbat
she owea to hei* distinguished son and to the Democratic party, to yield her cherished preferences
I'or tbat statesman, and to withdraw bis name from
tbe Convention. I therefore withdraw tbe name
of Franklin Pierce as a candidate for tbe Presidency, (applause) and without makiug any ungraceful distinctions among the statesmen whose
names are in nomination. New Hampshire desires to express her preference for her second
choice—Stepbeu A. Deuglas, of Illinois, (Immense applause.)
Tbe following is the ballot :
Buchanan, 1681 ; Pierce, H ; Douglas, H8J :
Cass, ih.
Sixteenth Ballot—Buchanan. 163; Douglas,
124; Cass, 0.
After the result had been announced—
Col. Pre&ton, of Ky.. evidently laboring under
much mental agitation, said :—1 bave been a devoted personal and political friend of tbe distinguished Senator from Illinois—but I appeal to tbe
friends of Stephen A. Dx uglas as I have appealed
to mvself already, whether justice to that statesman'and devotion to the Democratic party does
not demand that bia name should now be withdrawn. I am sure tbat I represent the views of
che best friends of Mr. Douglas, and I dot speak
without knowledge, (looking toward Richardson
and then toward the Speaker)—I do not say this
without knowledge, sir.    (Intense censaiiou.)
Mr. -Richardson, ot 111.—(waving down the excited crowd that gathered ruuud him)—Mr. President. I shall say what I would, and I am far trom
■idvisiu^ any man what he shall do at this hour.—
But I feel I have imposed upon me a duty—a duty
11 Stephen A. Douglas as weil as to our common
cause. (Cheers.) As a friend to that statesman,
t fee! that I cannot advance his interests or the
success of the party, by continuing him in this
contest. (Cheers and loud demonstrations of dis-
satislactiou.) I beg to bave read this telegraphic
dispatch received last night from Washington—
aUeiTiT'S reading, J shall withdraw Douglas from
this contest..   (A confused scene of apptaafee afid
dissatisfaction.)
WiSEiNGTON, June 5,
'* I see in che telegraphic despatches iu the newspapers that there is danger of au embittered spirit
la your convention. I wish you and all my
friends to remember that the ascendancy of our
principles is a thousand fold more important than
my own elevation. If the withdrawal of my name
will ensure hanacmy, I beg you not to hesitate to
with all these facts entitling California to tbe favorable consideration of the federal government,
after having been a sovereign member of the confederacy for nearly six years, after contributing
five hundred millions of dollars to the wealth of
the country, what has been done to facilitate cem-
miinication between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts of the confederacy ? California, at this day,
remains isolated iu position, and practically out
of the Union, by the failure of Cpngress to establish lbe means of au overland communication. Ou
this subject tbe masses of the American people are
united—States, legislatures, mass-meetings, the
press of the country with its thousand tongued,
have urged upon Congress prompt and efficient legislation for the attainment of this grcac national
object.
Look for a moment at her present condition. The
route across the plains, infested with hostile Indians, is go longer open to the adventurous march
of the emigrant. In Nicareugua civil war rages,
in the midst of which there is no protection to life
or property. The emigrant can only pass there
befweeu files of contending soldiers, and with feet
stained with human blood. At Panama the brutal
and savage negro, animated by the hope of plunder, bas recently assailed our unarmed countrymen, inflicting death indiscriminately. Upon
both the Isthmus routes danger, disease and death
stand in frightful array along tbe pathway of the
emigrant. Sir, we ask that the federal government may exercise all its constitutional power to
provide a safe and speedy communication over out-
own territory between tbe Atlantic and_ Pacific
coasts of this Union. A resolution embracing that
policy has been laid on the table by a vote of this
convention, the delegation from Pennsylvania voting yea upon the motion to lay upou the table.
With the vote of Pennsylvania thus reoorded
against a policy so vital to the interests of our
State, the delegation from California have not
felt it consistent with their own self-respect, or
with the dignity of the State which they have the
honor to represent, to cast their votes for James
Buchanan. But they have assurances now that
51 r. Buchanan does not concur In the opposition
to that measure, indicated by the votes of the
Pennsylvania delegation ; aud we therefore cordially acquiesce ia hia nomination, and pledge oor
State to bis support. Sir, we do more ; we pledge
her to an overwhelming majority. When Ihe
shouts of victory from tbe east, boom across the
plains and ascend the lofty summits of the Cordilleras, they will be met by responsive shouts of
triumph from the golden valleys of the Pacific
State.    [Great applause.]
Subsequently, the proposition for an overland
communication.within our own territory, between
the Atlantic aud the Pacific, war, voted upon directly by the convention—the Pennsylvania delegation voting unanimously against 1
upon the table ; aud on its final passage, a portion
Of said delegation voted for. and a portion against
its adoption ; said proposition having been carried
—ayes 205 ; noes ST.
Tbe following is tho resolution :
Resolved, That tbe Democratic party recognises
the great importance in a political nnd commercial point of view, of a safe and speedy communication through onr own territory between the A t-
lantic and Pacific coasts of Ibis Union; aud that
it is the duty of the Federal Government to exercise promptly, all its constitutional power for the
attainment bf that object, thereby binding the
umou ofthe States in indissoluble Vouds, ami
his measures and policy.
The question on the resolution being put, the
President declared it carried by an unanimous
vote,
THE VIOE-1'Iit.SIDKN'CV.
Wicklifie, of Kentucky, nominated Linn Boyd
for the Yice-Prcsidency.
Harris, of Illinois, was instructed hy the Delegates from tbat State to present the name of a
di-tinguisbed gentleman as the candidate for tho
Vice Presidency—John A. Quitman. [Tremendous cheering.}
Louisiana nominated John C. Breckenridge,
which movement was greeted with great applause^
The following gentlemen were also put in no^
initiation :—Fitzpatrick, of Alabama; Aaron B,
Brown, of Tennessee ; James A. Seddon, of Va.;
J. C. Dobbin; Hersal V. Johnson, of Georgia;
Rusk, of Texas ; James A. Bayard> of Delaware ;
Trusteu Polk, of Missouri.
On the second ballot, JotiH C. Uebcosridge re-
cived 206 votes, and W88 declared the unanimous
choice of tbe convention for the office of Vice-
President of the United States.
On being called for by the house, the Kentucky
Delegation took hold of the Hon. gentleman, and
lid him before the house. Ha was received with
rouuds of applause. When silence was procured,
he addressed tbe Convent-ion.
SPEECH  OF BRECKEMUDGK.
Mr. President and gentlemen of tbe Convention ;
This result is quite as unexpected to me as it can.
be to any in all this space. In the inferior and
personal aspect of tbis extraordinary manifestation, I beg you to consider all said tbat gracefully
should be. " I have no words to voice the gratitude
that is wellins from the innermost—[most enthusiastic cheers]—from the innermost heart of me to
the Democracy of the nation for this confidence.
There is one personal satisfaction tbat lightens
tbis hour and fearfully accumulated responsibilities. [Sudued applause.] I derive that satisfac- ■
tion from the reflection that, through all the balloting I have freely followed my political preferences nor professed a sentiment, nor softened au
expression for a personal result, [Applause.] He
! [Breckenridge] of au hour since, refused to ask for
1 or accept the honor he knew he was unworthy of,
but tbe Breckenridge created by the fiat of the
Democracy to second its illustrious standard-bearer bad no choice but to serve. [Cheering everywhere.]
It is not proper for me to speak of the secoud
man on your ballot; but of the Chieftain I may.
James Buchanan is one ofthe last ofthe survivors
of the gigantic race of American statesmen whoso
deads may not be separated from the glories of
the EepnWio. Reserved to a green oid age he
bas lived down detraction, aud time bas destroyed
calumny. [Applause.] Composed and dignified
on this moral elevation, be is about to be clothed
with the insignia of tbe Chief Magistracy of the
nation !    [Repeated applause.]
Gentlemen, I heartily concur in tbe platform
you have affirmed. I endorse your resolutions. I
am known to be a states' right Democrat. [Applause.]
Strong in tbe principles of Jefferson, enforced
by tbe irresistible temper ot Jackson, tbe people
will entrust the men you have named for their
Government. I hope, in that event, I shall never
forfeit the confidence of the Democracy of AmerU
ca.    [Prolonged applause.]
