tST A grand affair in the shape of a wedding party, came off on last Thursday, at the residence of the late lamented

AL­

EXANDER CROY. Accepting an invitation, we, in company with Messrs. Vance, Craig and Compto'n, were present, and entered largely into the festivities of the occasion. There were some two hundred guests present, filling every room in the house, besides legions of boys great and small who occupied prominent positions in the yard.— Two o'clock was the hour set for the consummation of the nuptials, but owing to the •wretched condition of the roads, the Rev. Mr. Eaton did not arrive until near three. As a matter of course there was a painful anxiety manifested lest he should fail entirely, and it was proposed by Mr. Graham that Wm. C. Vance, our county clerk, officiate. Mr. V. blushingly declined, and suggested with considerable logic and argument that the editor of the Review tie the silken knot of Ilymen, which meeting with a unanimous approval, we consented, and while in the act of borrowing a white neokoloth in order to clothe ourself with a little more of clerical dignity, the recreant curate made his appearance, having rode at a speed of 2-40. In a few moments the bride and bridegroom were upon the floor and were made one. The bride was elegantly and tastefully dressed. On her head she wore a beautiful coronet and looked lovely as a rose. The bridegroom was dressed in a suit of plain black and presented a quiet and dignified appearance.— After the ceremonies, the guests stood up to a sumptuous dinner. And here we will remark, that a finer tabic, one more abun dantly supplied with all the luxuries of the land, was never spread in Montgomery county. In the ccntrc of the table rose an immense cake, made in the shape of a pyramid, beautifully frosted and embellished with chaste and elegant artistic designs. It was from the establishment of Robt. H. Craig, the only bakery in town that can do up things fancy. At night the festivities closed with a grand ball. Take it all hi all it was the rcdtrrchc affair of the season.

IW We promised last week that we Would give the name of the Star Correspondent of the Journal. It is none other than Dunham Ingersoll.fjjWbat could induce this pitiful specimen of flunkeyism to pitch into us, we are at a loss to divine.— Certainly he never expected to reach the dignity of being hated by us. Notwithstanding we have used our efforts to obtain for him a situation as editor of the Journal, and jeopardized ourselves with the public as regards veracity in speaking of him as a gentleman, he has with base ingratitude stabbed at us in the dark through the columns of that God-forsaken sheet, the Journal. We presume he was induced to act thus with a view of ingratiating himself in the favor of Messrs. Cantrill & Huntsinger, around whom he has been fawning, and whose spittle he has been licking with a humility that would cause the basest hound to hang his head' in shame. Notwithstanding all this degradation to which he subjected himself, he has been repaid with nothing but curses. Only the other day,

Caiitrill forbid the postmaster giving the whelp the exchange papers belonging to the Journal. If he had sufficient capacity of mind to appreciate an insult, we presume he would now be satisfied that these gentlemen have no further use of him. To show our readers that we entertain no re sentment or hatred to this crawling worm, that under some kind hand may yet bloom into the butterfly, we generously offer him a situation in our office as local editor.— We have now in our possession an article furnished by this same cur, making an at tack upon Wabash College and its professors, and which we declined publishing on account of its slanderous personalities.— We have allowed him from time to time to pitch into Gilkey, and in fact whenever we wished any dirty work done we invariablyemployed him. -Under proper management and close watching, he can be used as a tool to' a considerable advantage—hence our desire to employ him.

PLACE FOR THE "STRONG MINDED."—

A modern traveller tells us that the Jewesses in Theesalonica, (European Turkey) reverse our accepted laws of Hymen, by purchasing their husbands. The modus operandi is thus described:

Brokers arc employed to negotiate marriages. The father of a marriageable girl goes to a broker, and inquires what bridegrooms there are in the market. He chooses one, higher or lower in the social scale, according to the dower he can afford his daughter, the price he can pay, and makes an offer of so much dower. The bridegroom, through the broker, demands more: they chaffer and bargain for weeks, perhaps, and a bargain is struck. The parties never sec each other till married. The dower is the wife's only security against divorce. The husband can divorce her when he chooses, but ho must pay back the dower, that she may be able to buy another husband. Mrs.'D. was telling a Jewish girl that we do not require any dowry in America. "How, then," said she, in utter astonishment, "do you do when he wants to divorce you fGTDr. Burdell has been brought back to this world by the spirit rappers already, and has testified that .Mrs. Cunningham and Mr. Eckel killed him. The Boston Transcript is authority for the story. It says: "Yon will be relieved and glad to know that Dr. Burdell has been called up in a circle in this city, under the direction of one of the most distinguished media, and distinctly and unequivocally pronounces that he was murdered by Eokel and Mrs. Cunningham. He says they threw a handkerchief over his face and killed him with a dagger. 'And further this deponent knoweth not,' for where they have concealed the dagger, or howtliey have removed from themselves all traces of the deed, he

say as indeed how could be?

At that particular moment his spirit may be supposed to have had a* much to do as could attend to in getting eat of such an uripleasianfr body. 19* The Black RepnJlicans of Chicago have nominated John Wentworth, for mayor

WAS DR. BURDELL MARRIED?—Dr.

BEWARE OF THE PORK!—A

E.

J. Spinccr, of Sacketts Harbor, New York makes an affidavit that Dr. Burdell wrote to him in the month of November. "Dr. Burdell commenced his letter by reprimanding me for betraying his confidence, saying 'D you what have you made an affidavit for of what I told you in confidence? It has caused me to do what I have always told you I never wonld do— that is, I have married Mrs. Cunningham. I don't want you to take the trouble to answer this letter, but to tell no one of my marriage,' or words to that effect."

The bulk of the testimony is decidedly in favor of the marriage, and it will be difficult to disprove it.

We find the following caution in the

Indianapolis Journal of last week. The present high prices of pork offer a strong inducement to the unprincipled to sell hogs that have died of disease:

gentleman

called at our office on Tuesday evening, to say that he had been informed on Monday, by Jesse T. Matlock, of Hendricks county, that five hundred hogs, which had died of hog cholera in that county, had been bro't to Indianapolis that some of those who brought them had informed him that they proposed selling some of the hams, the lard, from other portions, and had the meat of other portions made into Bologna sausages that one individual who had lost five buried them to keep his other hogs from them, and afterward brought them to this city.

The only use that these hogs should be put to is to make soap. But to sell them to be used as food, in any form, is infamous, and we trust the severest penalties of the law for selling unwholesome provisions will be enforced against such offenders.

The law on this subject reads as follows: Every person who shall knowingly sell any unwholesome for wholesome provisions, shall be fined in any sum not exceeding one hundred dollars."

SPIRITS INTERFERING IN A PJLCG MUSS.

-Miss C. M. Becbc, a spiritual medium, recently held forth in Corinthian Hall, in Boston. The Spiritual Clarion has the following item in relation to her:

While Miss Beebe was in Baltimore during the late election riots, standing one day on a balcony, she felt herself pulled back by invisible hands. A moment after, a bullet went whistling by where she stood. She sprang into, the house in alarm. Two hours afterwards, a lady medium called on her and stated that she had received a communication from Miss Besbe's -spirit father saying that he had just saved the life of his daughter in the manner confirmed by Miss Becbc herself. ?.•

A LONG VOTAGE OT AN UlfKNOWW SEA* As we write, the remains of Dr. KAHE are passing up the river from the "Crescent City," on their way to findVest in the God's acre, fallow and heaped, near the home of his childhood.

For alas! there is such an acre near, all human homes, where with the ignoble and the sinning, Earth's good and brave "lie down there is a sweet Alabama of the soul, somewhere beyond the white wing of Winter, and the fair flotilla of a June sky some port, land-locked and lulled in an endless calm, which the good and the brave do "make," but whencc they send back no word, thoagh the winds be fair, and we ever on the watch.

Dr. Kane, who "climbed to the Hippocrerie Spring," has ascended to the source of all life and light he who slept upon the shore of Marathon, has awakened in a realm without a grave the man who dared all the Arctic in quest of the lost knight, may have met him already in that fairer clime, the Blue of the Blest he upon whose dauntless brow, the Destroyer looked amid the drifts of the North, and fled away into the dark, has bowed to his supremacy amid, the summer groves and scented gales of Havana.''''"'''

Born in Philadelphia on the 3d of Februaryy1822, this is of a truth, an early promotion too early for his friends, too early for the scientific world, but not too early for his fame that shall.be deathless for his name that shall outlast the age.

The spirit of adventure marked his boyhood the instinct to break through the eternal .curves of the old horizons, and go out from liomei, was with him then. His eyes forever sparkled with interrogation points, wherewith he subjected Nature to inquisition and so we find him, while a College boy, a student of Geology, wandering among the Blue Mountains of Virginia. Eyen as the patriarch of the beautiful dream at Bethel, wrought for the choice of his heart, so for seven years at the Pennsylvania Medical University, did the future hero of the North toil, and in 1843, we find him Assistant Surgeon in the Navy of the United States.

From this period, the spirit of the boy among the Laurel Hills was full fledged the spirit of endurance, that like charity, "suffered all things of investigation, that challenged all things.

His field was the World, and we find him attached in his professional capacity to the first embassy to China, and looking wistfully beyond the "Flowery kingdom's" halfclosed gates of porcelain.

We hear of biw among the Philippines we trace him to Ceylon he loses himself among the jungles of India adventure is his pastime, peril his companion, and scientific truth his chosen guerdon. There was a charm to him in the untried and unexplored, and "the lion in the way" could not check his onward stop.

Swinging from a bamboo rope in the crater of an India volcano defending himself against a savage tribe in the Ladroues, with one companion, a Prussian Baron, who finally sank beneath the hardships he endured wandering alone in the land of the Pyramids solitary voyager of the Nile, even to the borders of Nubia visiting the slave factories of the African coast, and penetrating to the barracoons of Dahomey: among the tombs of the Pharaohs guiding his "ship of the desert" across the sands standing upon the crown of Mcmmon: wrecked as he descended the Giver of Egypt wounded near Alexandria lingering amid the fallen marbles of Greece pausing at ltome wandering among the vine-draped hills of France musing in Westminster welcomed at home*

But for that spirit of his, which neither, ^sickness could deter nor danger appal, luxurious ease had not a solitary charm, aud so his friends bade him adieu as he set forth upon an African cruise, and received him an invalid to their arms arain. His body sympathized with his mind, and impatient of the restraints which his weakness would impose, we find him a volunteer in active service, with the army in Mexico, and the first we hear of him, he was dashing along in the route of the army with dispatches for General Scott.

And here, wc quote in words that now are in the mouths of all the people, and come to us in the leading papers of this country, by solid column. "He was given as an escort through Mexico the notorious company of Colonel Domingucz, who started with him from Vera Cruz. As they were approaching Nopaluca, near Pucbla, they were informed by a Mexican that a large body of Mexican soldiers were on their way to intercept them, and at that time were but a short distance off. Dominguez refused to proceed anyfurther, and was about retreating, when Dr. Kane commanded him to remain with him, threatening the vengeance of his government if his company should leave him. Having succeeded in preventing him from turning his back on the enemy, he finally induced him to attack them. Placing himself at the head of his escort, Dr. Kane took advantage of arising ground to sweep down upon the Mexicans, who were thrown into confusion by the intrepidity of his charge. Rallying, however, they made a stout resistance, and it was, not until after a severe skirmish that they tfere defeated, and the principal part of them taken prisoners. These consisted of a number of distinguished officers iu the Mexican war, who were on their way to join their commander. Among them was Gen. Torrejon, who led the cavalry at Buena ista, and Major General Antonio Gaona and his son. The latter was dangerously wounded by Dr. Kane, who, in a personal encounter, ran him through the body with his sword. When the skirmish was over, the Doctor, finding that his antagonist was seriously injured, had recourse to his surgical skill to save his life, and the result proved that this skill was of .no ordinary character.— With no other instrument than the bent prong of a fork, and a piece of pack thread he tied up an artery from which the life of the young soldier was fast ebbing, and placed him in a condition that he could be conveyed safely to Puebla.

No sooner, however, had he concluded this humane act, than he was informed by young Gaona that he overheard Dominguez say he would take the life of his father, because he had at one time, put him in prison.

Dr.

Kane instantly interfered, placed

himself between his escort and his prisoners, and threatened to shoot the first man who attempted the'life of Major Gaona.— Domingues became infuriated, ordered, his men. to charge] but the first man of. the company, named Pallacos, fell before the fire of Dr. Kane, who plied his revofcer withiaial effect upon aD who came within its reach. With a severe lanee wound in

his thigh, he managed .to keep: them at bay, and saved his prisoners from their furyi until hearrived in Puebla, where they were, placcd under the charge of Col. Childs.-— Dr. Kane, whose wounds were very serious, was detained here for many days, during which he was attended and nursed with: the most tender care ^by the family of Major Gaona,: .who has since been!one of his most ardent friends and admirers."

And so, the lingerer among the spice ves of Ceylon became the bold, dashing iragoon of thechaparral, and his name and deeds became henceforth a part of the history" of the Mexican war.

pro Ira

But the. cloud of the battle swept by, and under the cleared sky, we have the sounder of cratera in India, and the wanderer in Dahomey in- Africa, quietly engaged in the Gulf of Mexico in the Coast Survey under Professor Bache. Accurate, pains-taking, scientific, here, as he had been daring and enduring there. While thus employed, the voice of that more than widow, Lady Franklin, had been heard across the Atlantic not a syllable of that appeal lost to the quickened ear .of human sympathy, amid the roar and whirl of waters, and the bold soldier of Mexico again volunteered -under this white flag of Mercy, with the wing of an angel for emblem and device.

So the quiet member of the Survey in the Gulf on the 12th of May, 1850, became at once the surgeon the naturalist and the historian of the Grinnell Expedition to the Arctic, under Lieutenant De Haven.

How that fifte.ep months'campaign in the sunless domain of eternal winter, developed the qualities hidden in Dr.

Kane's breast,

that make the grandest of heroes, is a talc upon every tongue. Energetic, decided, and fearless a physician to the mind as well as to the frame with powers of endurance but seldom paralleled in the world of adventure and a presence of mind that never deserted him, whether groping his way aityid unbroken night and blinding storm, famished, or "starving in ice," lost in the drift, or his good ship ground like grain in the "floes," Dr. Kane disclosed the leading spirit of the Age, whether to take the Arctic on vessel's deck, or to guide the lengthened train along the sandy highway of the sun.

From that immortal quest for a brother man, he returned, only to devise anew Expedition, that should skirt Greenland's inhospitable coast, make its way towards the Pole through icy pillars older than Gibraltar's gates, and out if lie might, into that Circutiipolar Sea, where

heart,

in

Winter

Winter's very

itself relents.

The record of that Expedition is beside us, in the simple eloquence of Dr. Kane's own pen how one small vessel with a crew of twenty, but almost everyone a man, endured the rigors of a pair of winters such as Navigator never before had dared and lived.

It was then, when the very rats were delicacies when a broader breadth of Winter stretched between that little force and milder seas, than ever before divided a wanderer from his home when the long reaches of intolerable night rolled in solemn silence along those barriers of ice— great breakers of darkness, that rolled in even upon the sitting South it was then that the rare spirit of Dr. Kane was manifest in its strength. Then, that his selfreliance was enough for that broken and disastercd band then, that with his "twelve in hand," he dashed out into the gloom, miles and miles away, with shout and cheer and the stoutest of hearts then, that with famine, frost and dire disease to choose from, he pursued his scientific observations, though the brass of the instruments burned his hands with cold—pursued them with the steady purpose of a hero and the thoughtful mood of a philosopher then, when Death threw off disguise, and it was death on the deck, and death in the cabin, death in the drift and death ravywhere, that with song and story and stout words, the hours were beguiled and the baud was saved.

What tenderness like that of woman marked his dealings with the sick what sorrow like that of brother, characterized his disposal of the dead what firmness more than Roman, turned his decisions into adamant what patience and judgment and heroism they were, that in the third season—the third Arctic season—guided that boat voyage of near two thousand miles, amid the chafing, crashing ruins of an hundred winters what wealth of geographical knowledge and of noble lessons for all mankind did he bring home with him what wealth of welcome did he find there, and now that he if dead, what great rain of sorrow will keep green his grave!

And this man who has done all this, was no giant in frame that frame was what was left of "the rice fever on the Canton river, the plague in Egypt, the yellow fever at Rio, the congestive at Puebla and the African fever on the coast it was the wreck of wounds in Mexico and wounds in Egypt, and hardships everywhere.

That heart of his, with its strong, full beat to everything generous and brave, gave nevertheless a solemn sound to the stethoscope, as the red tide ebbed and flowed through the thin walls of life's citadel.

Add to these poor equipments, a scintillant spirit that caught and kindled in danger's darkest hour, and you have the man whose loss we mourn—the bold invader, in Mercy's sweetest name and sake, of the dumb realm of snow.

A few months ago, Dr. Kane visited England, no longer in quest of adventure, but only seeking health. Dear to the heart must have been the honors awarded him by the wise and good: doubly dear the love of one stricken, grateful heart.

But human tributes could not recall vigor to the limb nor light to the eye, and the dying man repaired to St. Thomas and. Cuba, but all too late. Death had marked this brilliant trophy for his own, and so from Island to Mainland comes to us a chrysalis, and so, around the civilized world there shall be mourners to-day and to-mor-row.

Brave hearts, that beat responsive to his own, by ship and shore, shall mourn for the leader, the brother and friend, and eyes unused to tears, in maintop and on quarterdeck, shall be dimmed for him.

Old soldiers shall mourn for him, the brother in arms, the gallant and the true. One woman's heart in: merry England shall mourn for him who sought the lord of her bosom beyond the rim of northern day.

Blue eyed Science, shall mourn for him, her beloved'son, stricken down ere the full noon,,and the Astronomer shall forget his long look into Heaven, ashe thinks of the orb just pasaed and foreva? from "the field rf-new.

!:i

He shall moon for him, who gave his

gold for humanity's sake, and his name to that Expedition for all time. All the World shall mown lor him, whom they had learned to adnixre for his daring, believe for his science, honor for his.ambitiouraiid love for his nobility.

The Wanderer has ventured forth at last, upon an unknown sea alone and we shall Vainly wait the tidings of his return. Never shall some bark homeward coming, "speak" that lbnd Voyager outward bouda never shall tioital look-out descry his growing sail. %w

He has left his name and his fame to the port of Earth, and has "made" ere this, we cannot doubt, the light that blazes from the coast of the Blest has doubled the Cape of Heaven, and now lies forever safely moored in the great Pacific of God.»

INAUGUftAL CEREMONIES. The telegraph furnished the following particulars of the Inaugural ceremonies and proceedings in the Senate on the 4th, to the Cincinnati papers of yesterday:

At half-past eleven the galleries were densely crowded by ladies^ in waiting to see the preliminaries to the inauguration ceremonies.

Mr. Hale—(to the President)—Is there any question before the Senate? Several Senators have suggested the propriety of a short Executive session. [Laughter.]

When,Mr. Hale sat down, without urg ing an answer tg his inquiry, the President reported that he had nothing further to communicate, and declared, after a brief valedictory, the Senate to be adjourned.

At an extra session of the Senate, the oath was administered to Mr. Mason, by Mr. Pearce, and the former was chosen President pro tcm.

Messrs. Bayard, Bright, Broderick, Cameron, Chandler, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Hamlin, Kennedy, King, Mallory, Polk, Rusk, Sumner, Thompson of New Jersey, and Wade, were qualified.

The Vice President elect soon after caitic in, and the oath was administered to him, when he made a few appropriate remarks.

At 1 o'clock ex-President Pierce and the Presidentelect entered and proceeded with the Senate, Supreme Court, Foreign Ministers and others to the east front of the Capitol, where the inauguration ceremonies were conducted.

The Senate afterward returned to their chamber, and adjourned uutil 1 o'clock tomorrow.

Twenty four military companies, seven clubs and associations and several fire companies participated in ^ie procession.

The oath was adminisfered to tho President elect after the reading of the Inaugural Address.

The Deficiency Bill failed to receive the signature of President Pierce, and is not a law.

THE INFLUENCE OF TEMPER ON HEALTH. Fxcessive labor, exposure to wet and cold, deprivation of sufficient quantities of necessary and wholsome food, habitual bad lodging, sloth and intemperance, are all deadly enemies to human life! but thcyarc none of them so bad as violent and ungoverned passions. Men and women have survived all these, and at last reached an extreme old age but it may be safely doubted whether a single instance can be found of a man of violent and irascible temper, habitually subject to storms of ungovernable passion, who has arrived at a very advanced age. It is therefore a matter of the highest importance to every one desirous of preserving "a sound mind in a sound body," so that the brittle vessel of life may glide down the stream of time smoothly and securely iustead of being continualy tossed about amidst rocks and shoals which endanger its existence, to have a special care amidst the vicissitudes and trials of life, to maintain a quiet possession of his own spirit.

6ST" Mr. Edwin Forrest is said to be in frequent receipt of letters from young men, asking his advice about "going on the stage,"—as a profession. To one of them he lately returned the annexed reply, which though short, contains a world of excellent advice to whom it may concern:

New York, Jan. 11th, 1857.

Dear Sir.—My advice to you is never to go upon the stage. Seek some other and less precarious means to obtain a livelihood. Learn a trade, and by honesty, and industry, temperance and intellectual attainment, make yourself useful to society, and consequently respected and independent.

But if you will go upon the stage, enter the theatre at once, and with the qualities already enumerated, provided you are made of the right mettle, you cannot fail of success.

Yours truly.

Birds cannot smile, nor any living thing. It is the prerogative of man. It is the color which love wears, and cheerfulness, and jo}*—these three. It is the light in the window of the face, by which the heart signifies to father, husband, or friend, that it is at home and waiting. A face that cannot smile is like a bud that cannot blossom and dries up on the stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety is night, and a smile is the twilight that hovers gently between both, more betwitchingthan cither. But all smiles are not alike. The cheerfulness of vanity is not like the cheerfulness oflo\*e. The smile of gratified pride is not like the radiance of goodness and truth. The rains of summer fall alike upon all trees and shrubs. But when the storm passes, and every leaf hangs a-drip, each gentle puff of wind brings down a pretty shower, and every drop brings with it something of the nature of the leaf or blossom on which it hung the

THE CHAB6E OF A E

'Hiere^wa* a day lirnen asi old mail]with white hair sitralone in a small chailigr of a national mansion, his spare but muscular figure resting on an arm-chair, his hands clasped and his^ deep Jblue eyeajgaBngAff* the Winter sky. The bro#ortav on nub furrowed with wrinkles, hisj^aix Jti#ifkgi& straight masses, white as .the driven fityir, his sunken cheeks traversed'by marled lines, and thin lips, fixedly compressed, all announced along and' stormy life. All the marks of an iron will were written upon his face.

His name I need not tell you was Andrew Jackson, and he sat alone in the White House.

A visitor entered without being announ* ced, and stood before the President in the form of a boy of nineteen, clad in a coarse round jacket and trousers, and eoVered from head to foot with mud. As h6 stood before the President, cap in hand, the dark hair falling in damp clusters about his white forehead, the old man could not help surveying at a rapid glance, tho muscular beauty of his figure, the broad chest, the sinewy arms, the head placed proudly on the firm shoulders. "Your business?" said the old man,in his short, abrupt way. "There is a Lieutenancy vacant in the Dragoons. Will you give it to me

And dashing back the dark hair which fell over his.face, the boy, as if frightened at his boldness, bowed low before the President.

The old man could not restrain that smile. It wreathed his firm lip, and shone from his clear eyes.

"You enter my chamber unannounced, covered from head to foot with mud—you tell me that a lieutenancy is vacant, and ask me to give it to you. Who arc'you "Charles May!" The boy did not bow this time, but with his right hand on his hip, stood like a wild young Indian, erect, in the presence of the President. "Whatclaims have you to a commission?" Again the Hero surveyed him, and again he faintly smiled. "Such as you see!" exclaimed tho boy, as his dark eyes shone with that dare-devil light, while his form swelled in every muscle, as with the conscious pride of his manly strength and beauty. "Would you—" he bent forward, sweeping aside his curls once more, while a smile began to break over his lips—"Would 3*ou like to sec me ride My horse is at the door. You see I camc post haste for this commission!"

Silently the old man followed the boy, and together they wentfortji from the White House. It was a elenr, cold Winter's day the wind tossed the President's white hairs, and the leafless trees stood boldly out against tho blue sky. Before tho portals of the White House, with the rein thrown loosely on his neck, stood a magnificent horse, his dark hide smoking foam., He uttered a shrill neigh as his boy-master sprang with a bound into the saddle, and in a flash was gone, skiming like a swallow down tho road, his mane and tail streaming in tho breeze.

The old man looked after thein. the liorso and his rider, and knew not which to admire most, the athlctie beauty of the boy, or the tcmpcstou.s vigor, of the horse.

Thrice they threaded the avenues in front of the White House, and at last stood panting before the President, the boy leaning over the neck of his steed, as lie coolly exclaimed—"Well, how do you like me?" "Do you think you could kill an Indian?" the President said, taking him by the hand, as he leaped from his horse. "Aye—and eat him afterward!" cried the boy, ringing out his ficrce laugh as he read his fate in the old man's eyes. "You had better come in and get your commission and the hero of New Orleans led the way into the White House.

There came a night, when an old man— President no longer—satin the silent chamber of his Hermitage home, a picture of age trembling on the verge of Eternity.— The light that stood upon his table revealed his shrunken form resting against the pillows which cushioned his arm-chair and the death-like pallor of his venerable facc. In that face, with its white hair, and massive forehead, everything seemed already dead, except the eyes. Their deep gray-bluo shone with the fire of New Orleans, as the old man with his long, white fingers, grasped a letter post-marked "Washington." "They ask me to designate the man who shall load our army, in case the annexation of Texas brings on a war with Mexico"— his voice, deep-toned and thrilling, even in that hour of decrepitude and decay, rung through the silcncc of the chamber, 'There is only one man who can do it, and his namo is Zachary Taylor.'

It was a dark hour when this boy and this General, both appointed at the suggestion or by the voice of the Man of the Hermitage, met in the battle of Resaca de la Palma.

By the blaze of cannon, and beneath tho canopy of battle smoke, wo will behold the meeting. "Capt. May, you must take that battery!"

As the old man uttered these words ho pointed far across the ravine with his sword. It was like the glare of a volcano—the steady blaze of that battery, pouring from the darkness of the chapparal.

his muscular

beard as dark as midnight, framed a determined face, surmounted by a small cap, flittering with a single golden tassel. The voung warrior bestrode a magnificent charger, broad in the chest, small in the head, delicate in each tender limb, and with the nostrils quivering as though they shotforth jets of flame. That steed was black aa death.

Without a word, the soldier turned to hia men. Eighty-four forms, with throats and breasts bare, eighty-four battle horses, eighty-four sabres, that rose in the clutch of naked arms, and flashed their lightning over eighty-four faces, knit in every feature with battle fire. "Men, follow!" shouted the young commander, who had been created a'soldier by the hand of Jackson, as his tall form rose in the stirrups, and the battle breexe played with his long black hair.

There was no response in words, but you should have seen those horses quiver beneath the spur, and spring and launch away. Down upon the sod with one terrible beat came the sound of their hoofs,while thrgwh the air rose inglittering cycles those bittls soimitars.
