Lady, we met i:i distant lands,
Where many a stranger face we met,
And has that meeting with its scene*.
Fro n memory's tablet faded yet!
We never would, nor can lorget
Aught that gave pleasure to the heart;
So dear are joys amid the gloom,
The spirit will not from them part.
Tneii those wild, romantic sccns we saw,
When morning shed its gentle l'ght,
Thrilled not with pleasure in thy soul,
find no soft sweetness in thy sight ;
For they have found no penile home
Within thy memory's softerslnir.e,
Or if tliey did, I cannot call
One bright association mine.

Full to tlie breeze she unbosom's her sail.
And he pennant streams onward, like hope, in the

The winds come around her in murmur and song,
And the surges rejoice, as they bear her along!
See ! she looks up to the golden-edged clouds,
And the sailor sings gai'y aloft in the shrouds;
Onward she glides, ahiid ripple and spray,
0\er the waters?away, and away!
Bright as the visions of youth, ere they part,
Passing aw ay, like a dream of the heart!

Night on the waves! ami the moon is on high,
Ilung like a gem on tlm brow of the shy :
Treading its depths, in the power of her might,
And turning the clouds as they pass her, lo light!
Look to the waters !?Asleep on their breast,
Seems not the ship like an island of rest ??
Bright and alone on tli?? shadowy main,
hike a heart-cherished home on some desolate j
plain!
Who,?as she smiles in the silvery ligh\
Spreading her wings on the Ix-som of night,
Alone on the deep?as the moon in tho sky?
A phantom of beauty !?could deem with a sigh,
That so lovelv a thing is the mansion of sin.
And souls that an-smitten lie bursting within ? |
Who,?as he watches her silently gliding.
Remembers that wave after Wave is dividing
IWnmsthat sorrow arid guilt could not sever,
Hearts that are parted and broken forever;
Or deems that he Watches, afloat mi tlsi wave,
The death-bed of hopr, or the young spirit's grave?

All gladness and glory to wondering eys.
Yet chartered ny sorrow, and freighted with sighs :
Fading and fa'se is the aspect it wears.
As the smiles we put on?just to cover our tears ;
And the withering thoughts which the world cannot

While the vessel drives on to that desolate shore.
Where the dreams of our childhood arc vanished

ftilt. CALHOUN.
We clip the following remarks tipon the
character and patriotism of Mr. Calhoun
from an editorial in the N. Y. 11< raid:
'And there is Mr. Calhoun, who, in the
nervous and irritable glow of his genius, bell
ays his Ir.sh extraction; even lie is not do- '
scended from the Southern chivalry; for,
his father emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1733.
and 175fi removed to South Carolina.
Ho too was regarded by the old families of
that State as an adventurer: and. from the :
early years of I he century, when lie entered
(nihlie life, he encountered a steady opposition.
which arose out of a jealousy of;
.some of the ancient families of that State;
and to this day, we have reason to believe ;
his almost dictatorial sway over Carolina
and the intellect of the South is regarded
with coldness and suspicion by many ol those
families who took upon themselves as the legitimate
and hereditary aristocracy ol the
South; but the force of his genius has been
irresistible, lie has made the cause of the j
South Ins own. He has been the Richard
C'cetir De Lou of the Southern States; and
while his citivalric defence uf Southern in
tercsis has made him dear to the Southern !

lor m? special legislation. He makes rio de- j
mauds upon the favor of any Admintstrn- (
lion, independent of all Presidents and all
Cabinets, his own free man, he loves the !
Union, and he would preserve it: hut he
loves the South better still, when she is in j
danger. and he will stand bv her. and pre- i
serve her, at all hazards. It has been the
tnisf utune of Mr. Calhoun to Ire misrepre- ^

' I was rather late, about 12 o'clock 1 should
guess?when the party broke up. There I
was a inouri?and a dull nVerliead-sky and
a lew pale and sickly stars gave us their dull
light ns they shone through the dingy curtain.
There were six of us in company ;
11cmy Mason, and lour as pretty gills as I
ever grew up. There were inv two sisters
and I lorry's sister and his sweetheart, the!
daughter o| our next ioor neighbor. She i
was a downright handsome girl?that Car- i
oline Alien. 1 never saw her equal, I ho'I !
am no stranger to pretty laces, j>lie was '
so pleasant and kind of heart, so gentle and
sweet spoken, and so intelligent besides, I
that every body loved her. and she had an |
eye as blue as the brli violet, and her lips ;
were like a red ruse leal :n June. IM<? wonder,
ilieu, that Harry Vason loved her?
hoy that he was?fur we had neither of us
seen our seventeenth summer.
Our path lay through a thick forest of
oak, with here ami there a tall pine raising
its dark lull shadow against the skv. with nu

Tilt: snow was deep?deeper a great deal
than it ever IV11 of late years; hut the -urlaee
was frozen strong enough lo boar our weight
ami we hurried on over the bright paliiway
with rapid steps. We had not proceeded
lar before a long. |t?w howl came to our
cars. We all Ituew it in a moment; and I
could feel a shudder thrilling the arms that
were closed to my own, and a sudden cry
bujsl Irom the lips ol all of us?'the wolves!
the wolves!*'
Did you ever see a woif-?not one of
your caged, broken down, show annuals,
which arc exhihib d for a sixpence a sight,
and children half price; but a fierce, half
starved ra Hirer of the winiiy forest, howling
over the barren s ;ow, actually mad with
hunger? There is not one ol God's creatures
u hich has got such a fiendish look as
this animal, it has the form as well as the
spirit of a demon.
Another howl; and then we cpuhLdistinctly
hear the quick patter of the feet behind
us. Wo all turned right about ami looked
in llic direction of the sounds. '' The devils
ar.* afier us," said Mason pointing to a line
oi'daik gliding bodies. And so in fact they
were?a whole I roup of iliem?ho wing
like so many Indians in a pow-wow. We
ha I no weapons of any kind; and we knew
enough of ilie nature of these vile creatures
who followed us. to know that it would be
useless to contend with them. There was
not a moment to lose; the savage beasts were

but one chance of escape, and we instantly
sie/.cd upon if.
"To ilie tree! let us climb this tree!" I
cried, springing (orward towards a h*w
boughed and "nailed oak; winch 1 saw at a
glance could be easily dinted into.
Ilarry Mason sprang lightly into the tree
and aided in placing the terrified girls in a
place of comparative security amoig the
thick houghs, 1 was the last on the ground
and the whole troop were yelling at my
heels before 1 reached the rest of the company.
There was one moment of hatch
hieathinu and wild exclamations among us j
and then a feeling of calm thankfulness for
our escape. The night was cold and we
soon began to slider and shake like so many
sailors on the topmast ol an Iceland whaier.
Hut there were no muriums?no complaininn
among us, f..r we could distinctly see the
gaunt attenuated bodies of the wolves beneath
us, and every now nod then we could
see great glowing eyes staring up at the tree
where we were -ealcd, And then their
yells?they were loud, long and devilish.
I know not how long we had remained
in this situation, lor we had no means of

the tree cracking as it breaking beneath the
weight of some of us, and in a moment afterward
a shriek went through my ears like
the picrciiij! of a knife. A light form went
down through the naked branches, and fell
with a dull and heavy sound upon the slifl
show,
"Oh, God ! I am gone !"

poor ?:rl never spoke again ! There was a)
horiid dizzinessjund confusion in my brain,'
ami 1 spoke 11 t.i; arid I stirred not, lor lite'
whole of that tune was like an ugly, unreal1
dream. I onlv remembered that there j
were smothered ?roans and dreadful howls!
O
underneath! it was all over in a moment, j
Poor Caroline ! She was literally eaten \
alive. The wolves had a liiiihllul feast,!
and tlicv became raving mad at the taste of;
blood.

over me, any attempt lo rescue wou'd be '
useless- As for poor Mason, lie was wild
with horror. He had tried lo follow Caroline
when she lell, bm lie coul 1 not shake

A farmer in otic ol the Western conn tins i
in England was met hy a man wii in he had '
formerly employed, and who again asked
lor work, 'flie farmer (rather with a view ;
to he relieved from his importunity than with :
any intention of assist nig him) told he would
think of it, and send ki n word to the place >
where the man told him he should he found, i
Time passed on and the farmer entirely lor- j
got his promise'. One n'ghl, however, sud-!
denly lie started I mm sleep, anil awaking j
his wife, said he li li a strong impulse to set j
oil'immediately to the comity town, some
30 or-10 mdes disiani; hut ir/n/ he had not j
the least idea, lie endeavored to >h.iko oil ,
the impression and went to sleep ajain. but
woke a second time with such a strong conviction
that he must, start that uis'ant, and
he directly rose, saddled his horse and set oil.
On his way lie had to emss a lorry w Inch lie
could only do at one iiourui the night, when
the mail was carried over. He was almost
certain lie should he too late, but nevertlie.
less rode on, and when lie came to the ferrv,
greatly to his surprise Imind that the mail
had passed over a short time previously, ihe
ferryman was still waiting. On his expressing
his astonishment, the boatman rephed'
Oil, when 1 was at the other side I heard i
you shouting, and so came back again."
i The farmer said he hailj not shouted; but !
ilie other repealed his assertion that he had
distinctly hrard him call.
Having crossed over, the farmer pursued
his journey, mid arrived at the county town
the next morning. But now that he had
come there, he had not the slightest notion
of any business to he transacted, and so amused
himself hv sauntering about the place
and at length enter* ?J the (,'uuit wheiC the
ass'zes were being held. The pri-oner at
i lie bur had just been, to all appearance,
proved clearly guilty, by circumstantial evjdcricc,
ofmuider; and ho was then asked if
lie had any witness to call in his behalf??
He replied that he had no friends there, but
looking around the Court amongst the spec
tatnrs, lit; recognized lhc farmer, who almost
immediately recognized in him the man who
had applied to him for work; ihe farmer was
insianily summoned to the witness box, and
his evidence proved, beyond tSic posibihly of
doubt, that at the very hour the prisoner
was accused of committing minder in one
part of the country, lie was applying for
woik in another.
The prisoner was, of course acquitted, and
ihe farmer found thai, that urged on by the
unconlrollable impulses, which tic could neither
explain nor account lor, he had indeed
taken his midnight journey to some purpose,
notwithstanding it had appeared so'unreasonable
and causeless. "This is the Lord's
