BY E1.!1ZA COOK. ’Tis wll to woo, ’tis well to wed, lor so the world has d ne Since myrtles grew, and roses blew, And morning Lrought the sun, But have a care, ye young and fair, Be sure ye pledge with truth ; Be cr tain that your love will wear Beyond the days of youth. For if ye give not heart for heart, As well as hand for hand, You’ll find you've played the unwise part, And built upon the saic. *Tis well to save, ’tie well to have A goodly store of gold, And hold crough of shining stuff, For charity is cold. But place not all your hope and trust In what the deep mine brings; We cuniot live on yellow dust Unmixed with purer things. 4nd he wlo p les up wealth alone, Will often have to st ud Beside his coffer-chest and own ? Vis ‘built upon the sand.’’ *}4: good to speak in kindly gui ¢, _ And soathe whate’er For speech should bind the human mind, wecan; © And love link wan to man, But stay not at the gentle words, Let deeds with language dwell: The on: who pities starving Lirds, Should scatter ciumbs as well. The mercy that is warm end true, Must lend a helping hand— For tho.e who talk, yet fa.l to do, But “build upon the sand.?? A WONDERFUL STORY. The followi: eg wonde fal story appear;ed several ye irs ago, from the peu ofan unknown author : The other meee at the breakfast table, our fieneé, the Elon. John C Calhonun, appeared very finch troubled aed out of spirits You knew he is alte eether ave erable man, with a hard, stern. Seorch-lrish fice, softened in its expression around the mouth by a soit of sad smile, which wins the hearts of all whe converse with him. His hair is snow-white. He tall, thir. and angular. Ife reminds yeu very much ef Old Hickory. That he is honest, ne one deubts; he has saerifieed to his fatalism his highest hepes of political ad var cement—has offered up onthe shiine of that necessity which he worships, al’ that can excite ambition, even the Presidency of the United States. But to my story. The other morning at the lieakfast table where Ioan nnobserved spectator, happened to be presis jent. Calhoun was observed te gaze tieqnentty at his sight hand, and = brush it with his Jeftinahunied and nerveus jmanner. He did this so often that it excited atteution. At length, one of . © 4 > jthe persons composing the breakfast Toombs, fiom . i—teok upon himself to ask) the leecasion ef Mr. Calhoun’s disquietude ' i Is party—-his name, L think, and he isa member of Congress Geor pa } © Poes your hand pain you?” ledef Mr. 6. To this Mr. € fer a flneried manner— “Pohaw lt — It is nothing! Only a dream I had last night, and whieh makes me see perp ettally a large black spot, jlike an ink b loteh, upon the . aek of my jaight hand. An optical illusion, I suppose.” . Of course these words excited the cuiosity of company, but no one ventured to beg the details of this singular dieam, until Toombs asked, quietly— ; . “What was your dream like? I’m not very superstitions about dieams, but semetiines they have a great deal of truth in Pena. * “Bat this was sucha orang absurd dieam,” sail Mr. Calhoun, : gail. brushing the baek of his right asl however, if it does not ‘dende ee ainicl on the time of our fiieuds, I wil! ielate it te you.’ Of comse, the company were pre fuse in their proféssion of anxiety to know all about the dream. In_ his singular, sweet voice, Mr. Calhoun related the dieam. “At alate hour last night.as I was sitting in ny room, engage d in writing. L was astonished ly ag entrance of visiter, whe entered without a word. and took a seat opposite me at the table — This surprised me, as F had given parHicular orders to the servaut that 1 should on ate actetint be disturbed.— Che manverin whieh the intruder ente.ed. so perfectly self pussessed, taking his seat opposite me without a werd, as though my room aud all within it belongedto him, excited in me as muéh sui prise asindignation. As T raised my head to look into his features, over the top of my shaded lamp, 1 dis¢evered that he was wrapped inathin cloak, which effeetually coucealed his face and feautves fom my view. As Traised my head he ~po! keo “What are 5 you writing, Seuth Carolina 2” “f did not think of his impertinence at first, but answered him voluutarily— “Lam writing a phi for the dissolution of che Ameiican Union — (you know, géntiemen, that fam expected to produce 6 & plan of diss: lution, in the event of certain Coutingencies ) Po this the iutruder replied, coolest manner possible — “Sevator from South Carolina, wil yott allow meto look at your hand— yout right hand 7” “He rose, the cloak fell, and I heheld histace. Gentlemen. the sight of that face struck ine like a thunder-clap. It . was the face +f a dead man, whem extraordinary events had called ha¢k to lite. The features were these of General George Washington yes, gentlemen, the: iutrudér was rione other than George Washington. He was dressed iin the Revolwionary costume, such as you see in the Patent Office.” Here Mr. Calhoun paused, apparently agitated. Tis agitation, I need not tell pea was shared by the company.— the Sénator from in the ' he ask. Jalhoun replied, in rath}, ing pause: “Well, we-ell, what was the issue of this scene 7” 3 Mr. Calhonn resumed : ‘The intruder, as I have said, rose and asked me to Jook at my right hand. As though Thad not the power to refuse, I extended it. The truth is, I felt a strnge thrill perv vade. me at his touch; he grasped it and heh it rear the light, thus affording me full time, to examine every featme Jt was the face of Washington. Gentlemen, I shuddered as I] beheld the horrible deadalive of ihat visage. After holding my hand for a moment, he looked at me steadily, and said, In a quiet way! “And with this right hard, Senator fom South Carolina, you would sign vour name to a paper declaring the Unien dissolved?” “T answered in the affirmative. Yes, Twill. If a certain coutingency arises, I will sign my name to a Declaration of Dissolution. “But that moment a hack Motch appeared on the hack of my hand, an inky lleteh, which I seem to see even now. “What is that? said 1, alarmed, T knew not why, at the bloteh on my hand.” ‘That.’ said he. dronping my hand. “is the mark by which Beredict Arnold is knewn in the next world,” ‘He said no more, gentlemen, but dvew from bhereath his cloak an object which he laid upon the table—laid it upen the very paper on which I was writing. ‘That ol ject, gentlemen, was a skeleton!” : : ; “There.” said he, “there are the hones «f Isaac Hayre, who was hungat Charleston hy the British. , Tle. grave bis life in order to establi-h the, Union. W hen you put yveur name toa Declaratien of Disselution. why von may as well Bax the hones of Isaae Havre Lefure you; he was a South Caroliviar, so are you—hnt there was ne bloteh on his rieht hand.” -With these words the intrndér 1é ft the room. .T started back from the contact with the dead man’s bones, and— andawoke.

Steptoe. Full details ave given in the following pany. missing. The Sergeant -distinguished himself very much during the action, aud we all hope he will yet come in Capt. Taylor was shat throngh the letter from an officer engaged . in the . yeekvand Lieutenant Gaston through the conflict, and published in the Weekly Hody; they both fell fighting Times. It is dated May 23d, and reads as follows : , the 6th instant, Col. Steptoe, with E and [I Cu ‘mpanies of the 1st DraSeu and seventy-uine men of the 9th rent with two mountain howitzers, teft Fert Walla-Walla for Colville — The officers of the command were Col. Steptoe, Captains Winder and ‘Taylor, Lieuts. Wheeler, Fleming, Gaston and Gregg. After marching eight days, we reached the Pelouse rive:, and were about passi: g into the Spokan conntry, when we were ivformed by Indians that the Spokans would resist our entraace iuto their country. ‘The Spokans have always been regarded as friendly tothe whites; and when we left Waila-Walla, no one thought of having an encounter with them or any other Indiaus on the merch. On Sur ay morning. the 16th, on leaving camp, we were told that the Spokans liad assemnbled, and were ready to fight us. Not believing chis,, ow march was coutinned until about 11 0’ clock, when we found ourselves in the presence of six hundied waniors in war costume. ‘The command was halted fi tle pin pose of having a talk, in which the Spokans announced that they had heard we had gone out for the purpose of wiping them ott, and if that was the case, they weie ready to fight us, and that we should vot cress the Spokan river. The fndians wire well mounted. principally armed with rifles. and were extended along our flank at the distance of one hendred yards. Afier some talk, the Coionel told as that we would have so fight { and we immediately put onrselves in position te move to bette: grouvd, determived that the Spokans should fiie the first shot. After marching a mile. we reached a sheet ef water it was decided to camp and hold another talk with the Irdians., Nothing resulted from this except the r ost insulting demonstrations on their pat. We dared not dismonnt, and were kept in the saddle three hours, until the setting sun dispersed the Indians. On Monday morning we left camp te return tothe Pelonse, marching in the following order: H company ‘ncedieati ce. Cin the. centre, with the packs, and E inthe rear. At S o’clock. the Invdians appeared in gent numbers abeut the rear of the caluthn, and just as the ad yance was crossing asinall stream they hegan fiing. In twenty minutes the firing became continuous. Seeing that we must fight, and that the ac inte: must become general, 1 was ordered to move forward and ae a hill that the Todi. . ans were making for, and upon which . they would have aclose fire upon the head.of the column. 9 After a close race I gained the hillin advanee, on seeing which the Indians moved around and took possession of oue commandi g¢ that which 1 ocenpied, Leaving a few men to defend the first hill, and ae »ploying my men. L charged the second and drove them off. At this time the action was general ; the three companies, numbering in all about 110 men, were warmly engaged with five hhuucred Indians. ‘The companies w ere separated from each other nearly a thousand yards, and fought entirely hy making short charges. , “At 11 o’cluck I was ieinforerd by the fowitzers, and the two companies began to move towards the position I held, the Indians pressing ¢losely upon them. As E company was approaching, a large body of dndians got between, it and my company, so that, having it between two fies, ‘they could wipe it ont at onée. Gaston peicieving this. moved quickly towards ine, having the Indians in his front, and when near exoagh, and F saw he was about to charge. I charged with Hi company. The result was that our companies met, having the Indians in a right-angle, in which angle we left 12 dead Indians, Afier getting tegether we kept up the fight for half an hour, and again . staried to reach the w ater, moving half an hourunder a constant and raking fire. under which our comrades ‘Taylor and Gaston fell. . We finally reached a hill nearthe water and occupied the sum. mit, andthe Indians having new -completely surrounded it, we " Gintartyited and picketed otr forsés (Tose to gether on the centre of the flat-inclined sun mit, and posted our men around the crestnaking them lie flat on the ground, as the Indians were so close and so dining as to attempt to charge the hill; bat, although outuumbering us eight to beautiful in the placid one, they could not succeed. Towards evening, our ammunition hegan to give out, and our men. sufferin ig so much from thirst and fatigue, required all our attention fo keep them up. Te move from one peint to another, we had ‘ocrawl on our hands and knees, amid the howlings of the Indiaus, the gieans of the dying, and the whisili: g of balls and arrews. We were kept in this pesition until S o’¢lock. P. M., wheu as night came on, it became apparent that on the morrow we must “go uncer,” and that net one of us would escape. It was plain that, nearly destitute: famunition, we were completely surrounded by six or eight hundred Indians. aud the must of these on points which we must pass to getaway. Therefore, it was determined to run the gauntlet, so that, if possible, some might escape. Abandoning ev evythi: g. we mounted and left the hill at 9 e’elock, and afier a ride of © 0 miles, mostly ata gallop, aud without a rest, we reached Snake riv er, at Red Wolf Crossing the next évening, and were met by our friends, the Nez Perces We had two officers, five men, and three friendly Indians killed, and ten men wounded; Sergeaut Ball, of H comgallantly. The companies fought bravely. like true men. We brought our horses back in good. condition, except about thirty 5 shich were shot dwing the fight, ‘The ndians made no captures. Before the Hattle was near over, the Indians picked, up nine. of their dead; how many of them were killed is not known, , but I van count fifteen ; they acknowledged havinz forty welenideik. It will take a thousand men to go inte the 2 See ‘kan country. Capt. O. H. P. Taylor was a graduate of West Point, of “1846, and Bray et Captain “for gallant and meritorious conduct in conflicts in New Mexico."’—It is but a few weeks since he returned from the East with his.wifé and childrer, who are now w idgwed and orphaned by this sad affair.

Baptism 1\ Hoops.—At Chie cago, last week, a rather amusing scene took place during the baptism of a young Jady by the. pastor of the Tabernacte: The Union says: “The minister requested Ler to assume the diess peculiar to such an oceasion, but she declined to take of her hooped skirt, he teld her of the incon venience that must result from her ob stinaey, but she persisted. When she came to descend info the bath. the inHated skirt tonched the water and rose up around her like a balloon. He. head was lust to the congregation, she was swallawed up in the swelling skirt, the minister tried to force ber down into the bath, . Lat she wis ke ept above. the stiface by the floating properties of the ciinchve, and was . b noved up so suecessfully that it was not ‘until. after mich difficulty aid many forcible attempts, to submeige the lady, the . minister suc@eeded in baptising the fair ore. . Finally it was effected, to the relief of the minister and the seriously inclined avdience, who could net keep fiom lavgh ing in their pocket handhe:chiefs.” ke A Washington correspondent is respons ble for the following: “There is a funny bit «f scandal going here, about a ceitain well-kiown “Indy voted for her exquisite complexion and fine hair.

The followi: eg wonde fal story appear;ed several ye irs ago, from the peu ofan unknown author : The other meee at the breakfast table, our fieneé, the Elon. John C Calhonun, appeared very finch troubled aed out of spirits You knew he is alte eether ave erable man, with a hard, stern. Seorch-lrish fice, softened in its expression around the mouth by a soit of sad smile, which wins the hearts of all whe converse with him. His hair is snow-white. He tall, thir. and angular. Ife reminds yeu very much ef Old Hickory. That he is honest, ne one deubts; he has saerifieed to his fatalism his highest hepes of political ad var cement—has offered up onthe shiine of that necessity which he worships, al’ that can excite ambition, even the Presidency of the United States. But to my story. The other morning at the lieakfast table where Ioan nnobserved spectator, happened to be presis jent. Calhoun was observed te gaze tieqnentty at his sight hand, and = brush it with his Jeftinahunied and nerveus jmanner. He did this so often that it excited atteution. At length, one of . © 4 > jthe persons composing the breakfast Toombs, fiom . i—teok upon himself to ask) the leecasion ef Mr. Calhoun’s disquietude ' i Is party—-his name, L think, and he isa member of Congress Geor pa } © Poes your hand pain you?” ledef Mr. 6. To this Mr. € fer a flneried manner— “Pohaw lt — It is nothing! Only a dream I had last night, and whieh makes me see perp ettally a large black spot, jlike an ink b loteh, upon the . aek of my jaight hand. An optical illusion, I suppose.” . Of course these words excited the cuiosity of company, but no one ventured to beg the details of this singular dieam, until Toombs asked, quietly— ; . “What was your dream like? I’m not very superstitions about dieams, but semetiines they have a great deal of truth in Pena. * “Bat this was sucha orang absurd dieam,” sail Mr. Calhoun, : gail. brushing the baek of his right asl however, if it does not ‘dende ee ainicl on the time of our fiieuds, I wil! ielate it te you.’ Of comse, the company were pre fuse in their proféssion of anxiety to know all about the dream. In_ his singular, sweet voice, Mr. Calhoun related the dieam. “At alate hour last night.as I was sitting in ny room, engage d in writing. L was astonished ly ag entrance of visiter, whe entered without a word. and took a seat opposite me at the table — This surprised me, as F had given parHicular orders to the servaut that 1 should on ate actetint be disturbed.— Che manverin whieh the intruder ente.ed. so perfectly self pussessed, taking his seat opposite me without a werd, as though my room aud all within it belongedto him, excited in me as muéh sui prise asindignation. As T raised my head to look into his features, over the top of my shaded lamp, 1 dis¢evered that he was wrapped inathin cloak, which effeetually coucealed his face and feautves fom my view. As Traised my head he ~po! keo “What are 5 you writing, Seuth Carolina 2” “f did not think of his impertinence at first, but answered him voluutarily— “Lam writing a phi for the dissolution of che Ameiican Union — (you know, géntiemen, that fam expected to produce 6 & plan of diss: lution, in the event of certain Coutingencies ) Po this the iutruder replied, coolest manner possible — “Sevator from South Carolina, wil yott allow meto look at your hand— yout right hand 7” “He rose, the cloak fell, and I heheld histace. Gentlemen. the sight of that face struck ine like a thunder-clap. It . was the face +f a dead man, whem extraordinary events had called ha¢k to lite. The features were these of General George Washington yes, gentlemen, the: iutrudér was rione other than George Washington. He was dressed iin the Revolwionary costume, such as you see in the Patent Office.” Here Mr. Calhoun paused, apparently agitated. Tis agitation, I need not tell pea was shared by the company.— the Sénator from in the ' he ask. Jalhoun replied, in rath}, ing pause: “Well, we-ell, what was the issue of this scene 7” 3 Mr. Calhonn resumed : ‘The intruder, as I have said, rose and asked me to Jook at my right hand. As though Thad not the power to refuse, I extended it. The truth is, I felt a strnge thrill perv vade. me at his touch; he grasped it and heh it rear the light, thus affording me full time, to examine every featme Jt was the face of Washington.. Gentlemen, I shuddered as I] beheld the horrible deadalive of ihat visage. After holding my hand for a moment, he looked at me steadily, and said, In a quiet way! “And with this right hard, Senator fom South Carolina, you would sign vour name to a paper declaring the Unien dissolved?” “T answered in the affirmative. Yes, Twill. If a certain coutingency arises, I will sign my name to a Declaration of Dissolution. “But that moment a hack Motch appeared on the hack of my hand, an inky lleteh, which I seem to see even now. “What is that? said 1, alarmed, T knew not why, at the bloteh on my hand.” ‘That.’ said he. dronping my hand. “is the mark by which Beredict Arnold is knewn in the next world,” ‘He said no more, gentlemen, but dvew from bhereath his cloak an object which he laid upon the table—laid it upen the very paper on which I was writing. ‘That ol ject, gentlemen, was a skeleton!” : : ; “There.” said he, “there are the hones «f Isaac Hayre, who was hungat Charleston hy the British. , Tle. grave bis life in order to establi-h the, Union.

It is dated May 23d, and reads as follows : , the 6th instant, Col.

Steptoe, Captains Winder and ‘Taylor, Lieuts. Wheeler, Fleming, Gaston and Gregg. After marching eight days, we reached the Pelouse rive:, and were about passi: g into the Spokan conntry, when we were ivformed by Indians that the Spokans would resist our entraace iuto their country. ‘The Spokans have always been regarded as friendly tothe whites; and when we left Waila-Walla, no one thought of having an encounter with them or any other Indiaus on the merch. On Sur ay morning. the 16th, on leaving camp, we were told that the Spokans liad assemnbled, and were ready to fight us. Not believing chis,, ow march was coutinned until about 11 0’ clock, when we found ourselves in the presence of six hundied waniors in war costume. ‘The command was halted fi tle pin pose of having a talk, in which the Spokans announced that they had heard we had gone out for the purpose of wiping them ott, and if that was the case, they weie ready to fight us, and that we should vot cress the Spokan river. The fndians wire well mounted. principally armed with rifles. and were extended along our flank at the distance of one hendred yards. Afier some talk, the Coionel told as that we would have so fight { and we immediately put onrselves in position te move to bette: grouvd, determived that the Spokans should fiie the first shot. After marching a mile. we reached a sheet ef water it was decided to camp and hold another talk with the Irdians., Nothing resulted from this except the r ost insulting demonstrations on their pat. We dared not dismonnt, and were kept in the saddle three hours, until the setting sun dispersed the Indians. On Monday morning we left camp te return tothe Pelonse, marching in the following order: H company ‘ncedieati ce. Cin the. centre, with the packs, and E inthe rear. At S o’clock. the Invdians appeared in gent numbers abeut the rear of the caluthn, and just as the ad yance was crossing asinall stream they hegan fiing. In twenty minutes the firing became continuous. Seeing that we must fight, and that the ac inte: must become general, 1 was ordered to move forward and ae a hill that the Todi. . ans were making for, and upon which . they would have aclose fire upon the head.of the column. 9 After a close race I gained the hillin advanee, on seeing which the Indians moved around and took possession of oue commandi g¢ that which 1 ocenpied, Leaving a few men to defend the first hill, and ae »ploying my men. L charged the second and drove them off. At this time the action was general ; the three companies, numbering in all about 110 men, were warmly engaged with five hhuucred Indians. ‘The companies w ere separated from each other nearly a thousand yards, and fought entirely hy making short charges. , “At 11 o’cluck I was ieinforerd by the fowitzers, and the two companies began to move towards the position I held, the Indians pressing ¢losely upon them. As E company was approaching, a large body of dndians got between, it and my company, so that, having it between two fies, ‘they could wipe it ont at onée. Gaston peicieving this. moved quickly towards ine, having the Indians in his front, and when near exoagh, and F saw he was about to charge. I charged with Hi company. The result was that our companies met, having the Indians in a right-angle, in which angle we left 12 dead Indians, Afier getting tegether we kept up the fight for half an hour, and again . staried to reach the w ater, moving half an hourunder a constant and raking fire. under which our comrades ‘Taylor and Gaston fell. . We finally reached a hill nearthe water and occupied the sum. mit, andthe Indians having new -completely surrounded it, we " Gintartyited and picketed otr forsés (Tose to gether on the centre of the flat-inclined sun mit, and posted our men around the crestnaking them lie flat on the ground, as the Indians were so close and so dining as to attempt to charge the hill; bat, although outuumbering us eight to beautiful in the placid one, they could not succeed. Towards evening, our ammunition hegan to give out, and our men. sufferin ig so much from thirst and fatigue, required all our attention fo keep them up. Te move from one peint to another, we had ‘ocrawl on our hands and knees, amid the howlings of the Indiaus, the gieans of the dying, and the whisili: g of balls and arrews. We were kept in this pesition until S o’¢lock. P. M., wheu as night came on, it became apparent that on the morrow we must “go uncer,” and that net one of us would escape. It was plain that, nearly destitute: famunition, we were completely surrounded by six or eight hundred Indians. aud the must of these on points which we must pass to getaway. Therefore, it was determined to run the gauntlet, so that, if possible, some might escape. Abandoning ev evythi: g. we mounted and left the hill at 9 e’elock, and afier a ride of © 0 miles, mostly ata gallop, aud without a rest, we reached Snake riv er, at Red Wolf Crossing the next évening, and were met by our friends, the Nez Perces We had two officers, five men, and three friendly Indians killed, and ten men wounded; Sergeaut Ball, of H comgallantly.

When she came to descend info the bath. the inHated skirt tonched the water and rose up around her like a balloon.
