The little low Room ' where I
Courted my Wife:

My brow is seamed o’er with the iron of years,

And the snow-threads are gleaming the furrow!
among, ‘

My eyes have grown dim in the shadow of years,

Where the flowers of my soul have died as they
sprung ;

But Memory bears to me on its broad wings
Bright images true of my earliest life,

Andthere ’mid the fairest of all that she brings
Is the little low room where I courted my wife.

.-.-

That low humble room seems a palace of light,
As Love held the torch and illuinined the scene,
With glory of state and profusion bedight,
Where I was a monarch, my darling a queen.
Ourselves were the subjects, pledged loyal were each,
And which should love best was our heai-tiest strife ;
What tales it could tell, if possessing a speech,
That little low room where I courted my wife 1

Warm vows has it heard, the warmest ere spoke,
Where lips have met lips in holy embrace,

Where feelings that never to utterance woke
I saw soft veiled in a duplicate face.

The sweet hours liasteued—'how quickly they flew,
With fervor, devotion and ecstacy rife

Our hearts throbbed the liours—but how I ne’er knew,
In the little low room where I courted my wife.

The romance of youth lent its rapturous rest,
And fairydom knew no delight like our own ;
Our words were but few but they were the best-

A dialect sweet for ourselves all alone ;
So anxious to hear what the other might say,

We neither could utter a word for our life ;
Thus the hours in silence passed quickly away

In the little low room where I courted my wife.

Long years have since passed o’er my darling and me-
The roles have vanished away from her cheek,
But the merciless moments, as onward" they the,
Leave love still uudiinined in" her bosom so meek.
Thst love is the light to our faltering feet,
Our comfort in hours with sorrowing rife,’
Our blessing in joy, as with joy ’twas repletc,
In the little low room where I courted my wife.

From Household Words.

The Present-

Do not crouch to-day, and worship
The old past whose life is fled,

Hush your voice to tender reverence ;
Crowned he lies, but cold and dead.

For the Present reigns our monarch,
With an added weight of hours ;

Honor her for she is mighty,
Honoi-her, for she is ours I

See the shadows of his homes,
Girt around her cloudy throne ;
And each day the ranks are strengthened
By great hearts to him unknown ;
Noble things the great Past promised,
Holy dreams, both strange and new ;
But the Present shall fulfill them,
What he promised, she shall do,

She inherits all his ti-ensures,
She is heir to all his fame,

And the light that lightens rounds her
Is the lustre of his name ;

She is wise with all his wisdom,
Living on his grave she stands,

On her brow she wears his laurels,
And his harvests in her hand.

Coward ! can she reign and conquer,
If we thus her glory dim ?

Let us fight for her as nobly
As our fathers fought for him.

God, who crowns the dying ages,

5 Bids her rule, and us obey-

Bids us cast our lives before her,
With our loving hearts to day !

 

Labor.
in DRANOIS s. 056001).
Labor is worship i the robin is singing,
Labor is worship I the wild bird is ringing ;
Listen ! that eloquent whisper upspringing,

Speaks to thy soul from out Nature’s great heart,
From the dark cloud flows the life-giving shower,
From the rough sod blows the soft-breathing flower,
From thesmall insect, the rich coral bower ;

Only man, in the plan, shrinks from his put.

Labor is life ! ’tis the still water fuileth ;
Idleness ever despaireth, bewaileth ;
Keep the watch wound, for the dark rust assailetli !
l‘low’rs droop and die in the stillness of noon.
Labor is glory l the flying cloud lightens ;
Only the changing wing wavers and brightens ; '
Idle hearts only the bright future frightens;
Play the sweet keys would’st thou keep them in
tune.

The Assault on Senator Sumner.
We publish further extracts from a

F,

 

ing the state of feeling excited by the
assault of Brooks upon Senator Sumner.
The New York Commercial Advertiser,
a paper of eminently conservative views
and extremely cautious in the expres-
sion of opinions upon such matters, has
the following article in its Saturday’:
number:

The Ellect of it-

We commented yesterday upon the

cowardly and brutal assault made by

Mr. Brooks of South Carolina upon Son-

ator Sumner of Massachusetts. We
have since conversed with men of all po.

liticel parties, and we do not remember
any event of no personal 3 character res.

pecting which there was so universal a
concurrence of sentiment. One effect
of the outrage is very apparent. Gen.
tlémen who have hitherto oympathised
warmly with the South, and been the
ready and unflinching defenders of the
constitutional rights appertaining to the
Southern equality with the Northern
states, are discourged and disconcertod.
The common remark is that if Southern
men have no better argpments than fins
canes, knives and revolvers, and are de-
termined to otifle freedom of speech by
personal violence and aseau|t—if they
are going to show themselveseo tyran-
nical, imperious and overbearing, that
any man not excepting the Legislators
of the Republic, who finds fault with a
southern politician, is to be“'punished”
or “chastised” at the option of any south

em men who chooses to enact part
of self elected avenger,—-then it im-
possible for republicans and freeman to
sympathize with them, or defend zhem
from epithets which they that prove
themseves to merit.

We have heard several gentlemen,
residents of this city and its suburbs, de-
clare these sentiments, and confess them-
selves diiven to take an attitude of re-
sistance to the aggressive imperiousness
of which the scene in the Senate cham-
ber on Thursday was the latest evidence
When reminded that the south and south-
ern men generally should not be judged
of by the conduct of Mr, Preston Brooks
of §an;_h pg;-olinja, the answer has been :
"Perhaps not; bntnhese evidences of re-
sorting’ to violence and domination have
become so frequent, that it is time for
good citizens to show their abhoi-rence
of that policy and to check_it in the only

number of our conservative papers, show- ,

way in which it can be effectually
checked." And if this be the effect, in
a large commercial city, where commer,
cial ties with the South are necessarily
potent and ever operative, what. must be
the influence the outrage will exert in
other portions and other free states,
where no such ties exist, but where al-
ready. thanks to the fierce agitation of
the Missouri Compromise, a feeling of
sectional animosity is abroad, that con-
servative men have been for months
been toiling to allay ?

Some of our southern citizens are cer-
_tainly far from being wise in their gen-
eration. Anythiug more impolitic than
the specimen of brutality afforded in the
Senate Chamber on Thursday, can
scarcely be conceived. It is a virtual
saying to the majority of the people that
southern men brook no contradiction,
no freedom of speech, no difference of
sentiment. The conservative men and
journals of the North can not, and will
not, sanction such a doctrine. If their
rebukes of sectionalism, and their deter-
mination to demand for the South the ex-
clusive coutrol of its own institutions,
have been construed into a willingness
to deny to the North the fullest enjoy-
ment: of its sentiments and opinions, a
mistake has been made, the rectification
of which must be no longer delayed.—
The conservative men of the North have
no more intention, and never can have,
of approving or conniving at aggressions
on the part of the slave states than of ag-
greseions on the part of free states. We
hold and ever will hold that thought and
speech are free, of right; and must be
allowed to freeman everywhere.

And we tell our southern friends with
all candor, and with all friendship, that
unless they desire to convert the entire
population of the free states into deter-
mined antagonists, they must unite with
their conservative fellow citizens in these
States in frowning upon and denouncing
all such attempts to bully and frighten
those who differ in sentiment from them
as that perpetrated by Mr. P..S. Brooks
upon Mr. Sumner. And more than this
They must abandon the system of intim-
idation—tho practice of personal vio-_
lence toward those who differ from
them, so common in the south—lhe tar
and feathering of men who oppose sla-
very the cruel imprisonment of defence-
loss women because they don’: like sla-
very, the opening of private correspon-
dence, aud on evidence thus obtained
persecuting in every conceivable manner
the writers of euch.correspondence,—the
resort to these and kindred unjustifiable
means of destroying freedom of thought
and speech, must be abandoned if they
desire to disarm abolitionist: of their
most powerful arguments, and maintain
their own position in the Union.

With more than half a century's ad-
vocacy of constitutional and conserva-
tive doctrine: to appeal to, we have a
right to speak thus plainly to our
Southern brethren. And it is time that
the conservative press of the North
should thus spgak. The free states will
submit to no such ariogance and impe-
rious tyranny an is involved in these per-

secutions of men and women for indi-
vidual sentiments. Still lose will they
keep silence under such an outrage up-

on freedom of speech as the half-murder
of a Senator for uttering his sentiments
on the floor of the Senate. They can-

cede sueh freedom to all as a right, and
they demand it for themselves as a right:
and whatever the consequence they will
never relinquish or surrender it. The
issue is made in this case of Mr. Brooks,
and it ie for the southern members of
both Houses of Congress to meet the
North fairly on this issue, and show

themselves prompt to condemn this bru-
tal attempt to stifle free utterance by as-
saulting lhe freeman who exercises this
inalienable right of every American.

The New York Mirror, 3 Union Sa-
ving Fillmore Journal, and an honest
commentator on the events of the day,
says :

While condemning portions of Mr.
Sumner’: speech, we find no words too
strong to utter our contempt for this bru-
tal assault; and we venture to warn the
South of the danger and the disgrace
they are incurring by this brow heating
system of bullyism, to which longer for-
bearance ceases to be anything but cow-
ardice. The time has come when we
must elect big fisted bullies to Congress
or Members must go into and out of our
halls of legislation with knives and pistols
in their pockets. When Brutus plunged
his dagger into the heart of Cats: in the
Capitol. he pleaded his exceeding love
of Rome in mitigation of the crime.-
But the ruflians of our day, who commit
murder in our Capitol, have no such
patriotic motive: to offer in justification.
They play the part of brute: in the fa-
rum and traitors to the Republic at the
some time."

And the New York Courier and En-
quirer, adds the following to its com-
ments upon the affray:

The right man in the Right Place.

—-We nominate Tom Hyer for Congress
We are ambitious that the Fourth Dis-
trict of New York should be represented
more respeciably than the Fourth Die-

triot of South Carolina. It is not to be
endured that such an artist as Preston S.
Brooks should be the champion of the
Congressional ring, True he "travels
on his muscles" splendidly- He is a

regular bruiser. But he lacks chivalry.

He takes advantage. When he “sells
in” he does it like a coward. He is
worse thanYankee Sullivan. “Yankee,”
ungentlemanly as he was, never, "siiled
in" unless the man waaon his feet, and

had some notice. The late lamented
William Poole would have ii-ealed Pres-
ton S. Brooks as a tricliish. dastardly,
despicable bully—a disgrace to “the no-
ble on of self-defence.” Brooks must.
be made to respect the laws ofthe ring;
and Mr. Hyor is just the man to accom-
plish this. He has a spirit that rises in
indignation against such lurking brutali.
ty as he use at Washington. He con-
,lldOl'l it pure scoundreliem. ' Mr. I-lyer
is a citizen who gives no pledges; but
his life speaks for him. New York may
rely upon it, that he would not prove
unfaithful to its pugilistic honor. ‘He
would vindicate the fair repute of the
ring, and "punish” Brooke. True, we
could not expect. that with his unti-

.of abuse and caluinny, no punishment is

from Massachusetts, whose reputation

ments towards the man, Mr. l-Iyer, would
condescend to deal him a regular sock-
dologer. The science he loves would
hardly allow of that. Ben Caunt and
the best of authorities all agree that the
foot only must be employed in such ca-
ses. But that is sufiicient. Ea: pede
Ilercule; and Mr. Hyet can even thus
show something of his prowess, as well
as his contempt, for one whom his edu-
cation teaches him to look upon as a
caitiff. Mr. Hyer must go to VVashing-
ton.

The Other Side-

If we had no regard for the black, or the
outrage upon justice or humanity involved in
the spread of the blighting curse of human
bondage, we think the appalling exhibitors
of fiendish depravity and heathenish brutality
to which the white race has been degraded by
familiarity with its corrupting influences. as
exhibited in the following articles, were
enough to excite the strongest abhorrence in
the laborers of every man with the least ves_-
tige of humanity honor or decency. A beau-
tiful free country/‘this must be if we are to
become the crouching slaves of our southern
brethren. Austrian Tyranny bears no com-
parison to that herein expressed :

ion. .

From the Petersburgh Intelligencbr.
We are exceedingly sorry that Mr.
Brooks dii-tied his cane by laying it gib-
wart the shoulders of the blackguatd,
Sumner. We regret that he did so, not
because Sumner got a lick amiss, not
because he was justly entitled to all he
got and more beside, but because the
nasty scamp and his co-scamps will make
capital for the foul cause out of the ef-
fair. They will raiue a bowl, which
will split the public car about the viola-
tion of the privileges of debate, South-
ern bullyiem, «Ste. Master Horace Gree-
ley in particular will jump out of his
boots and breaches, have about four
thousand fits, and thus put up the price
of asafmtida and’ burnt feathers through-
out the country. Disagreeing with The
Richmond Whig as to the efl'ect of
Sumner’: thrashing, we entirely concur
with it, that if thrashing is the only rem-
edy by which the foul conduct of the ab-
olitionist: can be controlled, that it will
be very well to give &ward a double
dose at least every other day until it op-
erates freely ou his political bowels.-
It is true that the cunning rascal isa lit-
tle too smart to violate the decorum of
debate, but his adroit demagoguism and
damnable doctrines are infinitely more
dangerous to the country than the coarse
blackguardism of the perjured wretch,
Sumner, who will, to his dying day, is-
member that his Brooks, is not the
"running brooks” thatone Shakspeare
found "books" in.

A Virginian View of the Assault on
Senator Smnner—Justification of
Braoks.—The telegraph has recently an-
nounced no information more grateful to
our feelings than the classical caning
which this outrageous Abolitionist re-
ceived on Thursday at the hands of the
chivalrous Brooks of South Carolina,-
It is enough for gentlemen to bear
to be compelled to associate with such
a character as Sumner, and to be bored
with the stupid and arrogant dogmas
with which his harangues invariably
abound; but when, in gross violation of
senatorial courtesy, and in defiance of
public opinion, the unscrupulous Aboli-
tionist undertakes to heap upon the head
of a venerable Senator a vulgar tirade

adequate to a proper restraint of his in-
solence but a deliberate, cool, dignified
and classical caning. The only regret
we have is that the chastisement was
postponed until Sumner had left the Son-
ate. The Senate-Chamber would thus
have been prevented from being the
scene of such an exhibition, and the cow-
ardly Abolitioniet would have been fa-
vored with an opportunity—of which
there can be no doubt he would have
availed hiinself—to make his escape.

yesterday, administered to Senator Sum-

at this. The only regret we feel is that

our New York correspondence.
New YORK, May 30, 1856.

The “music of the Union” is sadly
discordant at present. Our ciiizens find
it a pretty difficult task to keep time to
the old quickstepl of their fathers, mar-
red as they have been by foreign inter-
polations and the discords introduced by
demagogues. That accommodating class
the professional politicians are in an en-
pecial quandary, like a regiment with
bands in front and rear, each playing in
different time, willing souls, they would
gladly keep step with all, but cannot tell
which to choose. Sumner and Kansas,
the South, the North, and the sweets of
Government patronage all bewildered
them. and for a month, until the dust of
the Presidential contest has cleared away
they must wait without laboring.

The bones: patriotism of the country
is equally confused by the clamoijed and
discord of the various factiousl. After a
calm and clear survey of the whole field
we may hope that the quiet conserva-
tives of all sections will speak, and that
their voice of reason will be heard by
the country. That the integrity of the
republic is endangered is evident, and, as
in all quarrels, that neither side is whol-
ly right, is equally clear. Our people
have become too fond of the political ra-
cing, and, in their excitement, of trying
how far they can force their boilers
without bursting. The extra pressure
put on, just now, by all parties, for the
sake of political effect, is dangerbus.—
The South is in a. “peculiarly perplexing
predicament,” in view of our delicate
relations with Great Britain. The Brit-
ish Lion may take it into his head louse
the advantage of our internal dissensions
and spring upon us inall his wrath. In
that case, cotton would feel the first
weight of his paw, and a wholesale
emancipation of slaves might be the im-
mediate result. The value of the North
would then be felt, but’ with a remem-
brancc of a brother's blow tingling his
cars, it may he questioned whether Jon‘
athan would give a very zealous aid to
the Southern plantations.

New York is to send abroad, in con-
nection with’ our other great cities, her
mighty voice in condemnation of the vio-
lence which struck at the right of free
speech, in the attack on Senator Sumner
A mountain wave of public opinion will
soon roll on Washington. Let those who
have braved it, be swept from the decks.
The large manufactories of fire arms,
in this city and other portions of the
country, are overwhelmed with the de-
inand for rifle and revolvers. Is this
a consequence of the pugnacious dispo-
sition so remarkably prevalent in all
quarters? The statistics of guns per-
cha cane sales will doubtless be equally
interesting. ‘

Our opera lovers and artists are in des-
pair. The ten thousand organ grinders
of New York have well nigh done for
them, by the nausea of surfeit which
they have given the publ_ic in their ever-
lasting, day and night grinding through
the street of the gems of song, Somnam-
bula, Norma, Trovatore, &c., fill the air
from the Five Points to Gramercy Park.
The latest scores from Europe can
scarcely be rehearsed before they are on
the town, ground out free, and floating
promiscuously away on the bosom of
every idle zephyr, that blows. The pri-
ina donnas have stopped singing, the lit-
tle boys have given up whistling, and
have left the field clear to the itinerant
vendors of the barrelled sweets.

The city interest is now regretfully
directed upon the ancient Brick church
whose lofty spire has borne the storms
of nearly a century, and is now about to
depart--dust to duet—with the men and
mementoes of our revolutionary era. It
was the first building dedicated to Pres-
byterian _worship in this city. During
the occupation of New York by the
British, it was used as military hospital.
The large subterranean vaults have been

men, with the Ieaden ball, which had
been the messengerof death, found rat-
tling within it. A startling lesson upon
the vanity of earthly thiiigs is taught in
the fact, that many of the loved and
cherished, who were here but thirty
years since, cannot now ho found, so
ruthlessly have death and time done their
work of oblivion. And of those, whom
decay has partially spared, there are but
few with is remembering friend to follow
them to their second burial.

Mr. Fillmore is to have a thousand
dollar reception when he arrives in New

York in June. These ovations to our
veteran politicians. Buchanan and Fill-
more, remind one of the return of Na-
poleon's remains. It may be that they
too may find a tomb in the political In-
ralides.

;I3'Bishop Meade of the Episcopal
Church‘of Virginia was recently requir-
ed to confirm eightor ten slafis at Law-
renceville in the tobacco growing, ultra
slaveholding County of Brunswick. » 111
performing this official duty, the Bishop

addressed the disciples briefly, expreséw -
sing his happiness in being called upon;”;_
to minister in Divine things to"the poor _

of this world, rich in faith,” but uttered
no word, so far as we can discover, that
any one ventures specifically to object to
But the mere fact that he treated these
slaves as fellow-immortals seems to have
alarmed and offended the slaveholders of
Brunswick, one of whom——vouched for
by The Southside Democrat as "one of
the most intelligent and worthy gen-
tlemen in the County,” thus pours fortli
his indignation 2

"What will success in the Kansas
movement avail us if we permit persons
“high in authority” to use expressions
to our negroes calculated to make them
believe that they are better than their
masters, and thereby render them dissat-
isfied with their situation? If Bishop
Meade cannot act in a manner becom-
ing a citizen of Virginia, in the pres-
ent aspect of affairs, and never feels
himself more highly honored than when

allowed to confirm a slave, he ought to '

move to that part of our country where
it is considered by some more honorable
and praiseworthy to rob a slave owner
of his roperty than to confirm a negro.
He , be able to accomplish some
good by his Slavery exhortatious there.
His course has certainly deprived him of
the ability to do ‘good in any way here.
Not only do the people, generally, here
disapprove and condemn his course, but
the members of his church are particular-
ly dissatisfied, and it is a source of regret
with several that they did not leave the
church. A movement on the part of any
person was only necessary, I understand
to have caused him to have only empty
benches to lecture to.

’ *' * “If the Bishop is not with
us in sentiment, but against us, ought
we not to be more particular hereafter in
knowing something of him who is to
preach for us and our slaves? Howev-
or much ministers, educated as I have
before stated, may be disposed to act
properly with regard to our slaves, they
have not the ability, if I may no express
myself, to do right, if they “mix up”
too much with them. The best way,
decidedly, is to have nothing to do with
the negroes. When they feel "called"
to minister to the spiritual wants of
negroes so particularly, the Free State
is the best field of labor, as the colored
population are in a much worse condi-
tion there, than here.”

We "go in” for this last sentiment
most decidedly, and would give the
principle a broader application. A pro-
Slavery priest can have no good influ-
ence with any but the very stupidest ,
and silliest slaves—such as cannot p08-
sibly know enough to run away ; while
an Anti-Slavery evangelist is a very
dangerous inmate in a slave "quarter."
Religion is one thing and Slavery quite
another; and he who will hold on to
the latter need not waste much time
or breath on the former. Serving God
and serving Mamon was long ago de-
clared incompatible. Tribune.

Plain Tal/c.—Tlie Western editors
have a veryvfree way of speaking, and
always write just what they mean-—al-
though some of them are very plain in
their remarks on matters and things in
general, and some things in particular.
One, in speaking of low neck dresses and
short Sleeves, says that.

"The prevailing fashion among the
ladies, _which trausposes an angel into a.
model artist, is universally detested by
every gentleman whose good opinion a.
lady should desire. It blunts the finer
feelings of both sexes, and is a disadvan-
tage to the one by destroying all room
for imagination to the other. A round,
plump, white arm, is beautiful. and may
be admired with all propriety; but an
arm shaped like a three cornered fiile,
with red elbows, is not beautiful, and in
competition with a Spanish garrotc,
would stand no chance of being elected
to one’s. neck. A white, round neck,
with an alabaster base, half concealed
by a coquetlish collar, is the most be-
witching sight in the_world ; buta large
expanse of bony shoulders, painted like
a patent ham, with its contiguous un-
protected territory, has about as many
attractions as newly varnished Windsor
chair.”

in short time since, we were called to ex-
amine a specimen of stone which he
had lately taken from a neighboring
quarry. The curiosity consisted of sand-

when separated, the face of one presented
the appearance of having been a part of
the side of a vessel near the gunwale.—
There seems to have been an overlap-
ping of the timbers, in the form of mould-

~ ing around the vessel.

The work of art is plain to be seen on
the floating vessel ; the holes formed by
the nails are very distinct as well as the
fossilized texture of the wood. There
are also pieces of iron with the specimen

of caulking between the strips of plank_
