next door to me,
Who tt ills unchecked, from morn tfli night, his
ceaseless tones of glee;
\Vho.«e jnyous heart shine? ever through h's'lar^f1,
dark hi'Bel eyes,
As the light ot God's love shinctb, thro' his rainbow in the skies :
His rounded cheeks, so rosy red, his filerry dimpled
ehin.
His pouting lipt>( where happy smiles play hide
and stek within,
His carelesH curls of wavy bait, aplfljing 'round
his lead,—
Oh ! was thete e'er a sweeter boy than darling little feed!
He's up in   early morning,  when  the sun's first
bright ning ray
T^iffht.B nn   >j"i"l' fl"r.a= «* gold...   «..,   tkD  uumi
ains old and grey j
When the world is ail aglow with light,  and leaf,
and bud and flower
Are sparkling with  the diamond drops of last
night's dewy shower^
With laughing eyes and dancing feet, he's up, out
and away,
To while away, in boyish  sports,  the long, long
summer day ;
Now, busy with his mimic work, he's striving e'er
to scan,
What destiny awaits him, "when he grows to be a
man."
Tis not so much the beauty of hiB fair and rounded face,
Nor yet his attiesB Ways replete with every childish grace,
That maketfa him so lovely ; but the thought which
seems to rise
From the earnest depth of his young soul into his
hajlel eyes )
As though the Very itoitl nflove had made Fred's
heart its shrine,
And brightened up his boyish face with gloW almost divine\
For like a glittering fofm of light by smiling angels lea,
A radient little sunbeam, is our warm, true-hearted Fred.
God bless thee( darling Freddy, and grant thou
still inay'st be
As good and pure, as now thoU art, when manhood
comes to thee,
That still thy earnest love of truth and scorn of
wrong may dwell
Within thy heart, to shield thee from the dark.
dread tempter's spell ;
And when long years shall dim thine eye, and furrow this smooth brow,
May the same B^eet light of purity still shine serene.as now,
And when silver, 'stead of golden hair, shall crown

May the blessings of the Holt One still rest upon
it, Fred.

Interesting Reminiscences.
" Gen. §ahJ Houston is said to be the only member ol the present Congress who was also a mem
ber thirty-five years ago, when Edward Everett
lormea one of liie fto*t tmnarco uouoi.uuuus Aim
body."        »
There are some slight inaccuracies in tbfs statement, although not material. The Congress in
which Gen, Houston aud Mr. Everett were members together was that of 1825-27, more than thirty years ago, but not thirty-five, and the Whole
number of members was 261, and not 300. It is
of that Congress that Gen. Houston was the only
one who is now a member of this Congress. But
he is far from being the only am fifing member,
and there is at least one member of this Congress
who was in Congress long previous to 1825. Mr
Crittenden, the veneraole Senator from Kentucky
was in the Senate in 1817, more than forty years
ago. Houston left Congress in 1827, and dd not
come bach till 1846, hating been not only out of
Congress, but for the most part out of the Union,
brought back, if all accounts of his anti annexation coquetry with England be true, rather against
his own will;
Congress contained a great roan* men who have
since acquired great reputation, and occupied the
highest positions in the country. Pour of its mem
hers—Van Bureu, Harrison, Polk and Buchanan—
have since been elected President. Two—Richard
M. Johnson and Wm. R, King—have been Vice
Presidents. The presiding officer of the Senate
was John C. Calhoun, then in the zenith of his
popularity and in the highest vigor of his intel-
. The eccentric Randolph occupied the seat
which, at the close of the term, was filled by John
Tyler, afterwards President. Daniel Webster was
in the House, and Hugh L-. White in the Senate-
men who/n large masses ol devoted friends una
vailiugly strove to elect to the Presidency. Benton, then a giant amoLg orators and statesmen-
wus in the Senate ; so was Hayne, of South Carolina, who died so young and so deeply raWCnted ;
Forsyth, who never had a superior as a debater in
the Senate, afterwards Secretary of State and Minister to Spain ; Louis McBanc, who became, successively. Secretary of State and of the Treasury^
and Minister to England ; Levi Woodbury, alter-
wards Secretary of the Navy, of the Treasury, and
Justice of the Supreme Court of (he United States.
In the House, besides MeDuf&e and Hamilton, and
Philip P. Barbour—men who hate left great reputations anconnected with public station—there
were E'lward Livingston, of Louisiana. Secretary
of State and Minister to France; Wm. O. Rives,
ot Virginia, also Minister to France ; Andrew
Stevenson. Minister to England; and.- though we
name him last, not the least conspicuous there,
Mr. Everett himself, wi'ose name had already be
come widely k'loWn lor ripe se'i.okrshrp, and who
became, successively/
Secretary of 8
liuistef   to  England  and
It was a remarkable body which included these
men. Very lew oi the members survive, and of
the whole list President Buchanan is the only cne
now in public life, excepting Gen. Houston, of the
Senate. Mr. Buchanan was. however, a man of
mark then. Gen. Houston was only known for
some eccentricities, wbieh soon after made him
notorious, if not famous, and bis titles io distinction, whatever they are, were earned on another
field than in the councils or service of the United
States.
In Ii oking over the list of members of tin-- Con
gress, as published-in Nile's Register, of 1825, we
notice a curious circumstance.- The list contains-
the full names of every member" of the House of
Representative?,-bul one. There was a new member from Tennessee, whose Christian name could
not be found out bv the compiler, and  so he put
him down thus : Polk.    Twenty  years afier-
wards this obscure gentleman, of whose Identity
there was much question in 1S2,">, was elected
I President of the United States.

The Victoria Gntettt gives the following Interesting   account   ol   the   Hudson   Bay   Coui;»;iny's
steamer the Beaver, which it is stated, was the
pioneer steamer on the Pacific Ocean :
The Beater was built in Ihe year 1835, for the
Hudson Bay Company, at Blackwall, England,

motto of her builder. In the spring of £883, Ihe

ntered that river. At that time, with the excep"
tion of a few trading posts at distant intervals
along the river and coast, the whole of the North
Pacific coast was an almost uukiu.wu wilderne-c.
San Francisco contained less than fifty inbabi
tants, and Victoria had not been laid out. A Ipi»
trappers and hunters were the only whilo men in
the country.
For the Ust twenty years; the Beaver has been
constantly engaged in tunning from port to port
of the extreme North, and trading with the ludi-
anSi Her voyage extends as Jar North as the 59Ui
parallel of latitude; and Id seconds—the head of
inland navigation, and the beginning of the Arctic
region. She usually is absent from Victoria about
seven months, leaving in April and returning in
November, aud deals entirely in skins and liirs.
The Indians are accustomed to her annual visits,
can tell almost to a day when to expect Her; and
are always prepared with their skins and furs,
Which they trade lor blankets, clothing, hard
bread, and other articles of prime necessity or ornament. She carries thirty men, four Stx-gtrtiad-
ers, and a large complement of small arms. Her
decks are protected from invasion by a border
netting of rope, so as to prevent the Indians from
clambering up her sides, and never more tbiin
thirty are allowed to come on board at any one
time, unless accompanied by their wives and child
ren. The trading is conducted under the fllrnfl
tion of one of the Hudson Bay Company's "Chic
Traders," (Cspt. Dodd.) and is kept entirely se.
parate from the sailing of the ship. The discipline
on board is as strict as on a man-of-war, and the
greatest caution is used to preveut being taken at
anv time bv surprise.
The Beaver generally during her cruise, makes
six visits with a full cargo to Port Simpson—the
extreme northern post of tee Company, and just
within the British line—54 deg. 40 min.—making
that Fort her depot while absent from here. Tl
Otter generally pays this Fort S visit to brine:

No SlEcoiiRSE ox Private Proper** for Coun
Ty Indebtedness.—The Supreme Court delivered
a decision oh 1st November, in the case of Emurie
vs. Gilman and Ilunsaker, Sheriff of Contra Costa
county, which is thus stated, in substance, by the
Union:
In this case, the defendant, Gilman, recovered
judgment for over §20,000 against the county of
Contra Costa, ftnd in January, 1857, issued'execution and levied upon the funds nnd public buildings of the county. His right to seize these funds
and buildings having been decided against him,
he sued out an alias exicution, and lC?ied upon
certain real estate, the private property of the
plaintiff, who was one of the inhabitants of the
county at the time the judgment was rendered
and baa been such inhabitant ever since The
present case waB brought against Gilman and the
Sheriff to enjoin the sale under the execution. The
plaintiff obtained a decree perpetually enjoining
the sale, and from this decree the appeal is taken.
The only question, say the Court/presented lor
consideration is, whether the priVatte properff of
an inhabitant ot a couniy is liable to seizure and
sale on execution for the satisfaction' of a judgment recovered against the county. The Court i*
of opinion that it is not, and that whoever becomes
« creditor of a county must look to its revenues
alone for payment. The stalute has authorized a
suit against the county by which his demand may
pass info jndgment, bul it ban given no remedy by
execution.    Judgment affirmed.
