How little recks it where men die, When once the moment's past, Tn which the dim and glazing eye, Has looked on earth its last: Whether beneath the sculptured urn The coffined form shall rest, Or, in its nakedness, return Back to its mother's breast, } \ Death is a common friend or foe, As different men may hold, And at its summons each must go The timid and the bold But when the spirit, free and warm, Deserts it as it must— What matters where the lifeless form Dissolves again to dust ? ’T were sweet, indeed to close our cyes, { With those we cherish, near; .

WRECK OF THE STEAMSHIP UNION. The news of the wreck of this steamship on our coast in July last, . and under so mysterious circumstances, created considerable surprise and consternation among the Eastern shipping interests. As has been before intis mated by our own papers, the unfarin so peculiar a manner as to render the suspicion that it was caused by of her officer. extracts, which describe the wreck, . rally understood, from a letter written . by kK. R. Hickman, of Lawrenceville, Kxy., and endorsed by many of the passengers, that has been copied into nearly every commercial paper in the . Union.—[ Picayune, Steamer Northener, July 26, 1851. The loss of the Union is, perhaps, the most unaccountable and unpardonjable aceident that has ever occurred beneath the notice ef American navi. ! jthe undersigned passengers, we will attempt to give the facts relative to the wreck, as nearly as we can, and leave the reader to draw his own cons jclusion. ‘Che Union left San Francisco on the lat inst., bound to Panama, with about two hundred and_ thirty passengers, commanded by Captain James Marks. She had also on board 06 boxes of gold dust. ” ” . . . } i . *% * ” On the morning of the third, a rus mor was afloat among the passengers that the Union came well nigh running into a schooner, during the night, and that no lights were up, or watch on deck; this rumor, however, passed off without creating any excitement or j alarm, On the morning of the fourth we were not in sight of land, and the . day seemed to move off rathcr duil, . when at length Capt.

He informs us that noise attracted his attention, . in the direction of ; and an close observation, he saw the breakers roll-. ing along the beach quite plain; and he saw, from the direction the vessel was running, she must certainly strike ina few moments; he could find no. watch on deck, and the helmsman was He ; a roaring attempted to give the alarm, but before any one came to his call, the vessel struck a reef of rocks, and jarred her to the centre, and before she had fully . k again; at this time, the first mate made ‘his appearance on deck and sang out hard-a-port—but too late. She was already within 200 yards of the shore. Four of her lengths in the divection she was heading, would have placed i her on a bluff at least fifty feet above . water. Immediately back of this bluff, a mountain was quite distinct, three . hundred feet above the firat ledge of . bluffs.

She had also on board 06 boxes of gold dust. ” ” . . . } i . *% * ” On the morning of the third, a rus mor was afloat among the passengers that the Union came well nigh running into a schooner, during the night, and that no lights were up, or watch on deck; this rumor, however, passed off without creating any excitement or j alarm, On the morning of the fourth we were not in sight of land, and the . day seemed to move off rathcr duil, . when at length Capt.
