RECOlaLECTION S.
Do yon remember all tbe auuny places.
Where, in bright days long past, we played to
gether 1
Do you remember all the old home faces,
That gathered round the hearth in wintry weather?
Do you remember all the meetings.
In summer evenings, round the open door—
Kind looks, kind hearts, kiud words and tender
greetings,
And clasping hands, whose pulses beat no more?
Do you remember them t
Do you remember all the merry laughter.
Tbe voices round the swing in our old garden ;
Tbe dog, that wben we ran still Hollowed after ;
The teasing frolic, sure of speedy pardon?
We were but children then, youug, happy creatures,
And hardly knew how much we bad to lose ;
But now tbedream-llke memory of those features
Comes back, aud bids my darkeued spirit muse.
Do you remember them?
Do you remember when we first departed
From midst tbe old companions who were round
us?
How very soon we grew light-hearted,
And talked witb smiles of all the links which bound
us?
And after, when our footsteps were returning.
With unfelt weariness, o'er hill and plain,
How our young hearts kept boiling aud burning
To think bow soon we'd be at home again?
Do you remember this?
Do you remember how the dreams of glory
Kept lading Irom us like a fairy treasure ;
How we thought less of being tamed in story,
Aud more of those to whom our  fame gave plea-
sure ;
Do you remember iu far countries weeping,
When alight breeze, a llower, hath  brought to
mind
Old bappv thoughts, which till tl.at hour were
sleeping,
And made us yearn for those we left behind?
Do you remember this?
Do you remember when no sound woke gladly,
But desolate echoes through our home were ringing i
How for a while we talked—then paused full
fiudly
Because our voices- bitter thoughts were bringing?
Ab me! those days, those days 1 my friend, my
brother.
Sit dowu and let us talk of all our woe,
For we have nothing left but oue another ;
Yet where tbey went, old playmate, we shall go—
Let us remember this !
— Mrs. Norton.

We extract from u cotemporary's account the
chief items of interest connected with the extraordinary duel between G'n, Jackson and a notorious gambler named Dickinson, which occurred ou the 29tb of April, 1807. near the State
liue between Kentucky and Tennessee. It appears tbat Jacksou and Dickinson had staked five
thousand dollars ou a horse race, and that Jackson proved winner, lie took Dickinson's note for
ihe amouut, and was satisfied with the endorsement. Jacksou had many enemies, who toured as
wel! as haled liim, aud tbey uiuurally crowded
around Dickiuson, and laid iii wait for tin "
opportunity that might present itself to biin
iu collision with lbe latter. This

as the lirst
latlou ot
«ll truth aud mercy; for they forced Dickinson,
who it seems whs in some respects ol an uiuiable
and -.'redulous disposition—beyond his own animosities and suspicions, to believe that Jackson
had disparaged the character of bis note in some
way or otber; und hence the challenge. Jackson
denied the charge entirely, but it tailed io con
ciliate Dickinson, or even to be believed by hiin
una!nst the representations of those who were thus
using him to get their enemy out of Ibe way; and
lhe challenge was accepted. The two principals
were accompanied to the fatal spot by tt-u or
twelve Iriends each. Sixteen feet was the distance
at whicb the duel was to be lough i, which will be
better appreciated by reflecting that it is only Ave
paces and oue toot. Now couple tliis with ibe fact
that Dickinson, tbe day before, practicing ***   "*-
image ot a man, fired tour ballr   '**•' -
after the command each time, into a space capable of being covered by a silver dollar, and an
idea can be formed ot the barbarity of duels In
those days. It is said also, on good authority, that
Dickinson was so confident ol killing Jnekson that
he was induced to authorize bets to the amount oi
ie thousand dollars that such would be the
case. All that now remained for the attendants waB
to retire to a safe position aud give the word of
command. They fired but no one fell. Ao instant, however revealed the real state ot affairs,
and Dickinson's friends ran forward to sustain
him. A dark Btream of blood spirted from his
side, and an ominous iudication was afforded iu
the fruitless endeavor to staunch it. A beuding
paw paw bush standing hard by, afforded a convenient place to recline him while undergoing the
process of examination. It was found that the
ball had entered the side above tbe point of the
hip bone, nnd below the ribs, and passing entirely
through the body, was retarded by the opposite
hip-bone, and lodged within the skin. Tho small
difficulty of extraction but showed tbe great danger
of the wound, aud all hope was destroyed by the
discovery of mingled hemoirbage aud purgings.
The first thing, on discovering tbe nature of tbo
wound, waB to dispatch a courier to Dickinson's
wife with the intelligence that he was -'dangerously wounded." He was then conveyed back to
his lodgings. Here be was placed iu a room, and
placed un two featherbeds, underlaid by two mat-

Tubing the Larynx ix Croup.—A peculiar method of treati croup, wheu there is danger of
asphyxia, is that wb;ch has been proposed by M.
Bouchat, at a meeting of the French Academy of
Medicine. The introduction of a tube through the
glottis ia the method in question, instead of tracheotomy. The tube is from six to fifteen millimeters in diameter, and from eighteen to twenty-four
in length. In order to lit securely in tbe larynx.
the vodl cords are placed between two projections,
which prevent either tbe ascent or descent of the
tube, which is further secured by silk cords toa
collar about the necH. The tube ib allowed to remain uutil the symptoms of asphyxia bave disappeared. Itis well calculated to excite astonishment that a part so seusitivo us the larynx under
ordinary circumstances, should tolerate the pressure of such a body. Nevertheless, the tube ib
perfectly well borne, aad interferes in no respect
with tbe functions of tbe epiglottis, lt is sufficiently short to disappear entirely in tho larynx,
its upper surface being ou a level with tbe ventricles. From the experience of M. Boncliat, he
inlet's thai.—lirst, mat a meumio iui». niu- bu iu.
troduced and allowed to remain in tbe glottis ;
second, that u metallic tube can be introduced, as
a simple and safe method of introducing air as
well as by tracheotomy, when there is danger ol
asphyxia in croup, or any other disease of thu
larynx ; third, that after the prevention of the as-
pliyxia, the croup ean still be treated locally or
constitutionally,

The Grand Duchess Maria, of Russia, is just now
the astonishment of the Parisians. Tho Princess'
reputation for beauty aiul practical good sense-
had preceded her to Paris, aud although tins is
tbe first time she has ever visited the French capital, she was hardly a stranger to the best society.
The Priueess Olga, more beautiful still tbau her
sister Maria, is of a diplomatic turn of mini, and
often aided her father, the Czar Nicholas, iu his
secret negotiations with foreign courts, aBsbe luiw
does ber brother Alexander; but Maria turus her
atteution to- the encouragement of art and ol charitable institutious. Every morning, at 10 o'clock,
the Princess leaves her hotel to visit the town.—
She appears desirous to see Paris from top to bottom, and from end to end. When Bhe returns la
tbe atternooB, her room* are full of statesmen, artists, men oi letters, and her ante-chamber aud
stairway are encumbered with works of art, either-
bought with her own muney, or sent as presents.
It is observed as something remarkable, that
among hor visitors uittt boxes that t-iicuu.b-T her
lodgings, milliners aud tbeir goods- occupy no
place. -She appears to inherit that desire tor tha
useful and tho practical which characterises so
largely the entire Romatiuft' family. Bul tbo
cent which most astonished tho fair Parisian! was
the Princess' visit to an establish ment over whoso
threshold no princely leet had ever before crossed,
and whose existence even was almost entirely unknown to thom. This wns the visit to the Uuspi-
tnl La Riboisiere. She was accompanied in tbis
visit by tho Prelect of the Seine, by ono of thu
surgeons ofthe establishment, M, Chaissngtmc, by
the director, and by her Highness' suite. Tbis hospital lias only been finished lour years, and is considered the model hospital of Europe. Itis particularly remarkable fortts improved system of
heating and ventilation, (not superior, however,
\Ao that in use in tho United States,) anil tlie careful isolation of ita wards, ao as to interrupt thu
spread of contagion. The Princess Maria is n directress of a Foundling Hospital at St. Petersburg, aud occupies herself, in person, with the direction ofthe establishment. She ia also a patron-
ess of other charitable Institutions, and on hot return to St. Petersburg, Intends to build a hospital
ot 160 beds for invalid women. Tbo Princess'
visit to La Riboisiere, in which she weut through
tho establishment in all ita details, approaching
the beds ofthe sufferers with words of consolation,
inspecting the dressings, visiting lbe dormitories
even of the nurses, must have left un agreeable
impression upon the otber visitors us well us upou
the inmates of thu hospital. And wilh what, astonishment, perhaps confusion, must the Parisian
lady friends of the Princess have llBlened to her
description of nn establishment at their own doors,
and which they had never visited, nor perhaps
even heard of. The Princess has also visited t]io
Conveut of tbo Carmelites, into which only Princesses of tho royal blood are admitted, aba was
obliged, therefore, to leave all ber attendants at
the door, and to enter alone. She goes, also, very
often to the theatre incognito.—New York 'Times.

Air.itm  In  Sonera,
We have received, through a reliable correspondent, the following late intelligence, ol the position of affairs in the State of Sonora,
Governor Pesquiera ia in receipt of dispatches from the "Juarez Government;" directing bim
to revoke at oDce hia order expelliDg Capt. C. P.
Stone aud party from the .State of Sonora. He is
ordered, to notify the officer in command of *.he
'•Commission-' ofhis revocation of the order of expulsion, and to extend to them, an invitation to return and re-enter upon the duties of the survey.
He is further directed, to use all power and diligence to protect them, from insult or injury; and
to see that they are permitted to proceed quietly
ia the performance  of their duties.—Arizonian.
Astronomical.—Jupiter is now rapidly approaching that position in relation to the earth
and sun, In which it presents its finest aspect to ub.
Being one of the superior planota, which revolves
in orbits exterior to the earth, It is of course nearer the earth in opposition tbau in conjunction by
the distance across tho earth's orbit, vi/.: two hundred millionsol miles. Besides this, it shines all
nigbt. rising about sunset, and blotted out by tho
dawn while yet several degrees from Us setting.—
Jupiter now sbines witb a brightness unequaled
among the stars, except by Venus when near her
inferior conjunction. This may be owing, not
merely to the Biiperior h/.<■ ol his <li*-r. Hit also to
the high reflecting power of his surface. Had
Mars this power In an equal degree, bis luster
would surpass that of Jupiter three fold, ter, while
bis disc is one-fourth smaller than Jupiter's, he re
ceives thirteen times more solar light. The present position of the planet is in the constellation
Gemini or the Twins, not far from the meridian
of Siriue, the brightest of the fixed Btars, and closely preceded by tbe finest constellation in all the
heavens, Orion; so that we have and shall have
throughout the winter, in juxtaposition, the nightly company of this splendid galaxy—Jupiter, to
bis brightest. Sirius, or the Greater D«k- Capetla,
Castor and Pollux, Procyon, or the Little Dog.
Aldebaren. and the unrivalled constellation of
Orion, witb tbe planet Saturn not far away.—Mo.
Democrat.
Mahomet.—Slightly above the middle size, his
figure though spare, wain handsome and commanding, tbe chest broad and open, the bones and framework large, the joints well knit together. Hia
neck was long and finely moulded. The head—
unusually large—gave space for a broad and noble brow. The hair thick, jet black, uud slightly
curling, fell down over Ihb ears. The eye browB
were arahed and joined ; tbe countenance thin,
but ruddy. His large eyes, intensely black and
piercing, received additional lustre from their
long dark eye lashes. The nose was high and
slightly aquiline, but fino, and at the end attenuated. The teeth were far apart. A long black,
busby beard, reaching to the breast, added manliness and presence. His expression was pensivo
and contemplative. The face beamed wilh intelligence, though something of the senBuouB might be
alBO discerned there. His broad back leaned forward bb he walked; and his step waa hasty, yet
sharp and decided, like that of one rapidly descending a declivity, Tbere was something unsettled In his blood-idiot eye, which refused to rest
upon its object. When he turned toward you, It
was never partially, but with the whole body.—
Muir's Life of Mahomet.
National Characteristics.—It is said that
when a Frenchman has to wait he smokee, a German meditates, an Italian sleeps, an Englishman
takeB awalk, and an American invents some new
contortion of bis limbs, and tries to put bis loet
higher than ever.
Two centuries ago not one in one hundred wore
stockings. Fifty years ago not a boy in a thou-
Band waa allowed to run at largest night. Fifty
years ago not one girl in a thousand mado a -wailing maid of her mother. Wonderful improvements in this wonderful age.
What isa Mitb'—The mite of commerce, a
small coin, formerly current was equal to one third
ofa farthing. The mite of Scripture was the
quarter of a denarius, and worth aeven farthings,
or about three and a half cents.
If yon borrow money never pay it.   You can
