The following beautiful lines, written after the blossom of youth's spring-time hail assumed autumnal hues, and life's Indian summer had been in-vrreathed with the frosts cf age. comprise the con cluding stanza of Life " by Mrs Bar bauld. LiTe ! we've been long together. Thro' pleasant and thro' cloudy weather ; Tis hard to part when friends are dear ; Perhaps 'twill cost a siiih. a tear $ Then steal away, give little warning, Choose thine own time, Say not Good Night, but in some brighter clime Bid me Good Morning.- JOI1X ALLES, THE " WICKEDEST JtAN IX NEW yOP.S." So mqch haa been written nnd said 1 recently about tiie so. called " wickedest Man in New York," that doubtless by this time the fame of his deed?, or of his misdeeds, has spread to all parts of the country, and has probably crossed the Atlantic, to give the sinners of the Old World an idea of the moral atmosphere of the me tropolis of the Western Continent. John Allen, the name of the individ ual thus suddenly thrust into noto riety, kept a low dance-house at No. 304 Water street, which for a lonjr time was devoted to the bacchanalian exercises of the most depraved char acter of both sexes. An article in Packard's Monthly brought this place and its singular proprietor conspicu ously before the public, and in the iiugust number of the same periodi cal the Subject is continued in such an interesting vein; nnd gives such a curi ous picture of human nature, that we reproduce thfe article Since the appearance of the sketch in the July nuinber of the magazine, Mr. Allen has been run down with visitors, especially clergymen, who, he says, invariably asks for the Wickedest Man in New York, to which inquiry he promptly responds-, as boing the identical individual ' n ferred to." His reception of his clerical visitors is sometimes exquisitely character istic. 1 " I'm glad to ?cs you, gefitlemefi' I he. says. " Walk in. Sic down. ! Make yourself at home. Have a I copy of the Little Wand rers FriendP. We have to do a good deal of mis sionary work down here, nntl I find the Little Wanderer's Friend a good thing in that line. Take it home with you utid read it. Lots of good stuff in it. Good music, too. 1 like to have clergymen come here. I want to do all the good I can ; nnd I don't know any class of men -who'd be more benefitted by association with me than clergymen. So xome often, gentlemen, and stay late." Allen also frequently playS off his Observer and Independent on his cler ical visitors ; gets them into theolog ical discussions, and twists and ha rasses them in all manner of good natured ways always taking care to keep himself master of the situation under all circumstances. One curious development of Al len's character wan manifested in his anxiety to know how the religions papers Would treat his case, as 3et forth in our s-ketch. Ilia tenacity of connection with the religions press is, in truth, a most singular and signifi cant fact - far more significant than he himself has any idea of. " What possible interest dan you take in religious papers V we once asked him. " Why do you read the Observer arid the Independent 1" " Oh," he replied, " I'm liberal in my view, and impartial in my tastes. And as to reading, why, I read any thing from Tom Paine to the Bible. Besides, I must have mt theology and my whisky ' straight. I don't want either of 'em watered or adul terated. The Observer and Indepen dent are out-and-outers one on one side and t'other on t'other. They strike out from the shoulder, ar.d get in a lick under he ear etery lime. When the Observer gets holt' of one of your loose, milk-and-water Chris tians, or some fellotf with an un sound, new fangled theology.it shakes him just as one of Kit Burn's pups shakes a rat and then the tnd?pen denl gets mad, and pitches in, and shakes the'O&sert'er just as Hit shakes the pup when he gets mtuh That's my style. I like a lively Gospel and a muscnlar religion. I go in for the church militant, nnd pride myself on being a high private in the same array in which the Observer and Indtrpen dent are field marshals; I'm content to carry the knapsack and let theel wear the plumes We will mention the noticeable fact of his fondness, which is remark able, for oldfashioned hymns and tunes, especially such as he learned at Sabbath School. He never tires singing them ; and sometimes he will sing the same hymn and the same tune over and over aofain. He also teaches his pet boy, Chester, to sinj: them. When he once took ns round to the school which his boy attend?, be requested the teacher to let Chester sing for nS. She consented; and told Mr. Allen to select the pieces he would lite to have the child sing. He at once selected a Sabbath-School song, beginning : " Shall ivc meet in Heaven above.?" Little Chester was perched upon a chair to sing the solo, the rest of the scholars coming in on t the chorus. As just stated, Shall we meet ia Fleaven above ?'' was the burden of the first stanza. That of the second was : " Shall we wear a snowy robe V Of the third : " Shall we strike the golden harp ?' Of the fourth : " Shall we wear a glorious crown ?" Each of these lines was repeated three times over, to a pleasant and varying melody, which brought out the sentiment forcibly. The perform ance impressed us deeply. The eager ness with which this sin steeped man regarded his boy, as the little crea ture sang verse after verse of that song, touched us to the heart. His next selectiou surprised us still more. It was : "Stand up for Jesus' Aftr it had been sung, he re marked, just as were taking our leave: li That's a good song, children. You just do as that song says, and you'll come out all right." And the mau meant what he said, and felt it, too. An additional and pointed illustra tion of Allen's fondness for sacred music was recently given to us by Sergeant George E. Towns, of the Fourth Precinct Metropolitan Po lice. In the winter of 1S64, when the sergeant, then a patrolman, was walking his beat with his comrade, Frederick Gilbert, they stopped, about three o'clock in the morning, to kick their heels on Allen's stoop. It was bitter cold, and to keep their hearts warm, they begun to hum some heart stirring old hymns. Af tcr a while they struck into old Cor onation : h Ail hail the power df .Testis' name; Let sin gels prostrate fall. Bring forth theroynl diadem. And crown him Lord of all." As they' concluded the hymn, a noise whs heard inside of Allen's bar room, and Mr. Towns exclaimed: " Hush, Gilbert ! there's some oue in there!" " It is only t)if,Tovn," responded Allen, opening the doof and steppinj; to the threshold in hH night rig, bit ter cold as it va--; 1 heard you hum nling old Coronation, and had to gel up and come down. I could not stand it, with that old tune buzzintr in my ears. Old Coronation will always fetch me at any season of the year, and at any time of the day or night." Allen is solicitious that little Ches ter should not have hi mind poisoned by anything verging on infidelity. On one occasion, when visitors were present, an infidel came into the dancing saloon about 11 o'clock at night, and began to ventilate his be lief, or rather his unbelief. lie was Surprised at being at once taken up by Allen and demolished. The un believer was no match for the Wicks edest Man, in theology, philosophy, or common sefisc. He soon retired, rather crestfallen, and after the door had closed on hirn, Allen; turned to some of those present, and exclaimed in tones of grief and bitterness: My God i gentlemen, to think of a man's coming into my house and uttering such sentiments as those ! Why, I wouldn't have had my family hear that man for anything! Aud Chester especially " Here, seeing the looks of astonish ment oh some of bis visitors' faces. he eSclaimed : " 1 know what you are thinking of. You think that Chester hears worse than that. But he don't. He hears me swear, and he hears the girls, when they get mad or drunk j and they Can talk bad enough when they get agoing, God knows ; but I don't care for that. That isn't anything. That don't kill. But to have Chester 2et the notion that the Bible isn't true, or to have him hear any man deny the'existence of God, or attempt to make God anything else but God why, d n it to h II, Gentle men, I wouldn't have such notions as those put into Chester's head fof all the world!" Among the most recent " disting uished " visitors to Mr. Allen's abode were several large deputntioins from the Democratic National Conten tion, when that institution was lately flourishing in Foorteenrh street. One company of country delegates, num bering thirty, went down to No. 30-1 Water street, under the escort of Captain Thorne, of the Fourth Pre cinct: and we are informed that on one evening as many as sixty dele gates were present at on time, fill ing both bar room and c'nncir; saloon and protruding ur5oti the stoop and sidewalk. They had all "read our account of the Wickedest Man, and were anxious to see him. He was courteous and cordial, as he al ways is to Tisitors. One of. the dele gates remarked : " I suppose this is about the worst section of the city, Mr. Allen, from all accounts ?" 1' WJell, yes, it has had that repu tation; but just noin it is completely eclipsed by Fourteenth street " The retort was received with ap plause, nnd and the delegates hafled ' The Wickedest " as- a man and a brother. . , , Mf.Dyer concludes his article as follows : .At 4 o'clock, p. on Friday the 10th day of July, after the foregoing had been put in type, we had an in terview with John Allen in the pri vate room of Mr. Acton, and in Mr. Acton's presence, at Police Head quarters, No. 300 Mulberry street. Mr. Allen protested against being called the Wickedest Man in Nev York. Said he: " I am not the ttickedest man in this city. There are lots of worse men than I am men who never help the poor, nor poor children, nor do' anything for anybody, and $!r. Ac ton here knows that 1 spend hundreds of dollars in that way." We then stated vthy we consider ed him the Wickedest man in New York, quoting the paragraph above, in which we embe'dy our views on that point. This seemed to be a new view of the subject to him and on our offering to state anything, as coming from him, which he wished io have said, he replied: " Weil, just say that I have some good points, and that I am not the Wickedest Man in New York by a long way. Mr Acton then tackled him about his keeping such a den, and sent the truth home to his heart that, by staying there, he would blight the life of his idolized boy. "And now, Jtihn," continued Mr. Acton, " I want you to promise us that you will quit that place, and give your children a fair chance." Allen hesitated and remonstrated tor a long time, but finally said : ' Weii, I premise to do it." " When will you quit it asked. "The first of May net," he re plied. 'Say September," said Mr. Acton. " 1 can't do it impossible. You could not get out of here in a week! My othet- property is rented, and I can't manage U before May." " Yes you can, John,'' persisted .Mr. Action : " sav September." " Weil, if I can sell out my busi- ! ness, I will," he said at last No, John, be a man, and do the clean thing. Quit the business, turn your house into a home for poor girls, and regenerate that whole region You can do it, if you'll Only try." Allen was powerfully affected, and at last said : " Well, gentlemen, give you tixy word that Pll quit the business by the first of next May. sure, and as much sooner as I can " and he rushed from the room. A Delightful (Joustry". Florida may be the " land of promise," bat Texas is the land of " varmints." In clearing the ground to pitch my tent, I killed a water moccasin ; aboct three o'clock in the morning I was wakened up by the barking of a dog; he had iust run a rattlesnake out of my neighbor's tent, when the rattlirisc arid the barking aroused me nine rattles captured. I again lay down, and when day broke, a ytllow lizard was Cocking his eye cunningly at me from the ridge pole of my tent. I sprung up, seised rriy boot to dispatch him; when lo I out of the boot drop ped a tarantula ! Exhausted from fright and fatigue, I sank back iuto a chair; but ho sooner done, than I was compelled rapidly to abandon the position, having been stung hi Ihe rear by a scorpion ! Besides the above mishaps, we lost a valuable dog by a shark; The dog had jumped overboard from a boat to follow his master to the shore, when the vora cious monster caught him. . . e.. - . . Gone.

OKEGOS AXI THE EAST; We had a somewhat lengthy con versation with Dr. Loryea, safs the Oregonlan; concerning his trip to the Eastern States, iff which he detailed some of his observatiotia upon East ern people ; their knowledge, Or rather ignorance, of Oregon ; the rea sons why our State is not better known j what has been done, what is doing,-end what may. be done to make ourself es known, to promote oar gen eral Interests etc.; etc.- ft would re quire too much space to say here? all the Doctor talks ; but of the interest ing ; facts Jhe presents we cahoot fore go stating at least & few. -: DIRECT TRADE WITH OREGON. On the matter cf direct trade be tween New York and Oregon, he says that Messrs. Brock way & Baker, who own the ine just put in opera tion through the representations of Mr. Mercer, have a considerable number of vessels of just about the right tonftnge and class for our trade, and that they are mote than willing to employ them in this direction if the Oregon merchants will patronize them. Thus far, in loading the SuL lie Brown and the Osinyn, the orders of Oregon merchants have not been sufficient to make full cargoes,- and the owners have been obliged to sup ply deficiencies with goods of their own. They do not desire to continue this sort of competition with Oregon importer.1?, preferring Simply to sail their vessels. To avoid it, they are willing to go into a joint Stock com pany with Oregonians, i:i the ship ping business taking half the stock themselves, the Oregon stockholders to own the balance (or mote than half if they want it) and to control the line. The vessels which they would furnish are all new and staunch, and range in tonnage from 500 to 1,000 tons. Should our merchants decline this proposal, they will still skil as many vessels as we will load. But this is not what Oregon needs. She should own the line or a control ling part of it, and then we should be at no risk of seeing the line Withdrawn at somebody else's wiH. flOT?- THE CALIFOtlMANS LlfrE if. The Doctor says that California wholesale shippers are extremely hostile to the project of a direct line to Oregon ; that they have agents in New York who have thus far left no stone unturned to defeat shipments by the Sallie Brown ahd Osmyn j that the moment they get wind of a shipper's intention to put freight in, they go alter hirxf; and try in every way td discourage him, and offer all sorts Of inducements to ship via San Francisco ; in Some instances going so far as to offer to deliver freight at Portland by steamer, at the cost by Sailing Vessels to San Francisco This all shows that the California ini porters fully understand the value of the Oregon trade. If they Can do sO much 10 defeat the project of di rect trade to Oregon, Oregonians can Certainly make something by carry i ing the project into execution. Whilfe the Osmyn was loading; .in attempt was made to bum her, by floating a raft of combustibles against her side. No discovery as tb whorri the per petrator of the attempt was has been made, but the general supposition is that it was done at the instigation of the California shippers. OREboN FLOUR AT TllE EAST. Vv7hen Oregon flour gets East in good condition, it sells anywhere along with the best fancy brands ; and generally, for a better price than Cal ifcrnia. Much of it, however; gets damaged by bad handling and a care less way the Ships' peopla have Of packing it wifh improper freight: It is often packed in the chip's hold with hides; from which it get a taint. California agents took advantage of this to decry the flour. Dr. Loryea took with him some Samples Jrom several of Our mills; and everywhere he Showed it in New York, Phila; delphia, Boston, Chicago,- etc., it was pronounced by millers the best they ever saw,- and they could scarce ly be persuaded but that it was made by some sort of machinery; different from and better than theirs. When, however; oar wheat tras shown them, they began to understand the matter and to manifest a decided interest iu Oregon productions. A FAVORABLE -TIME TO ATTRACT AT TENTION. Capitalists have for several years been looking for the shortest and best route for the Asiatic trade. The probabie early completion of the Pa cine Railroad, the recent treaty with China, and the visit of the Chinese Embassy, have quickeoed the atten tion of the commercial world, and moneyed, men f.re beginning to stir in good earnest for investment on the Pacific shores, foreseeing that the trade with Asia, Japan, and the East Indies mnst come this way. H by any Cleans information can be con veyed to them of car sittration, with regard to the direct line of cofnmnni cation; oaf resources,- our northern harbors, and our numerous openings for profitable investment, thousands and " fnillions "of 'dollars can be ....... i i . . stcuicu iieru aiuiost ai once, uur production's, ores, ett., exhibited in 'the Eastern cities ' this Bufaroer, to gether with the representaltotis of Dr. Loryea, Gen", ''Barn dm. Captain Keelef, 5lr. Jacobs, nnd other Ore-: gdrtTans have dorie mc1 4 Scterest capitalists, as Is ehown by: the nuriJ-1 ber of visitors now here or soon to arrive. The Oswego iron excited much atfention in Pennsylvania, and after analysis and test, it was pro nounced of superior qdality. Two of the gentlemen who carne with Dr. Loryea, are here on iron business. Mr. II. McKay, the managing agent of Stewart & Co.; of New York, comes instructed by R. & J. Alakin, the New York agents of (iuest & Co;,of London, iron and railroad men, to make special Observations as to our iroii products, and the feasibility of establishing direct and mutual shipments between Liverpool and Oregon, Gov. Geary, of Pennsyl vania gives two of our visitors the following letter of introduction : Executive CftAMBER, llarrisburg. Fa., ) Attghst 7th, 1803. f P. C. Brinck, Esq., of Camden, N. J., end B. G. Welch, Esq., of Dan ville, Pa., being about to make an extensive tour of observation through the far distant sections of the country, it is with more than ordinary pleas ure' that I commend them to the fa vorable consideration of my friends and acquaintances and all others, wherever they may travel. These gentlemen are largely interested in railroading and in the manufacture of iron, and as their principal object in their present journey is to aid in the development of our national resources, I earnestly request that every possi ble facility be afforded them in. their laudable enterprise. JOUS TV. GEARY. KAILROlDS AND RELATIVE MATTERS. The capitalists of New Y"ork and New England are considering the gen eral question of railroads, iu connec tion with the trade Of Asia, and they favor a northern terminus say Puget Sound via Oregon. Oliver P. Ames, President of the Union Pacific road, is a Boston Irian, and in common with Northern capitalists, has a lean ing this way, assures us that if the Legislature and people of Oregon will give a guarantee of their good will tb a branch road, it will be bnilt. He directed the tobr of observation and survey tipon which Gen. Dodge is now engaged. Maps of this pre liminary survey will be furnished the Orepron Legislature. The lands of the Union Pacific Railroad Co. have been thrown into a joint Stock incor porated Company, called the United States Laud and Emigrant Aid As sociation. This company will open a central office i!i New York with branches and agents in all parts of the United State9 and Europe; Mr. Loomis, the President, offers to give Oregon a department in the central office for a representative and for ex hibition of products, and to aid in all possible ways to make ottr resodtCes known. FRIENC3 OF OREGON. The Doctor assures us that Oregon has fast and firm friends in the per sons of Gen. E. M. Barnum, Capt. Keeler and II. Jacobs, formerly of Portland; who; in all possible ways, put in a good word for us whenever an opportunity offers. One or the other attends nearly every great cou; vention connected with the commen cial interests of the coUntry and rep resent Oregon. Whenever they can they show Oregotl products, and make speeches explaining Oregon matters, answer letters of inquiry; arid in va rious ways have helped to bring our State into notice. The Doctor says there is on astonishirig degree of ig norance respecting this region, but the force of recent events is rapidly wedging US into public consideration, and the time is not far distant when we shall witness an immigration and an influx of Capital of whose mag nitude the most visionary fiever dreamed.

The followiirg very pointed article we find in the Elevatbr published ill San Francisco, and, edited by t. Aj Bell, a colored man i . l Copperhead papers afiff DemOeratiS orators, synonyms for rebels, are still bringing tip the obsolete idea that the political enfranchisement of thp" blacks will prod nee social equality. This untenable theory has been ex posed long since, but it appears to' b a favorite with the above classes, and as the carhpaign advances, they will endeavor to make capital effrt of it j hence we will once more show "on what a;" baseless fabr're" their visioti rests to o which we must use plaift language, which cannot . be; misunder stood. " " . -, . " .o . The highest Condition "of social equality, is sexual intercourse, and the state of society which the Demo cratic; party advocates, sustains ffhd encourages indiscriminate intercourse! between the races. The chief corner" stone of the institution of slavery has been adultery, until a virtuous female' slave was almost Considered an ex ception, and their offspring were fast becoming a face of bastards. The admirers of the old regime in tho Southern States hate no objection to adulterous intercourse, where the re gress is made the victim, but they are greatly excited at the idea of legitimate connections. They ere willing that licentious white men should seduce our females, but they arc struck with holy horror at the mere possibility of niggers marrying; their daughters. The chastity of our wives, sisters and daughters might be outraged with impunity, but thef pure Democratic blood mnst not be sullied with a more holy alliance than crime Debauchery, aud even incest, sanctified the connection. ' Social and political equality are separate and distinct from each other neither are they dependant. Polit-o ical equality exists in Massacfjusetts. There negroes vote and hold office; but marriage between the races is rare, and conCub'mal intercourse al most unknown. In Louisiana, when slavery existed, social equality was carried out without let or hindrance" from law or public opinion. In the French and Spanish precincts, and in the second municipality of -New Or leans, the whites and free blacks mingled on terms of perfect social equality, in business, pleasure, Wor ship and f imily relations,but a moiety" of negro blood wa3 a barrier against political equality. ITe have never made any clainrtcr social equality. We do not desire it ; we are content with our own social status, and we ask no moe. Political affinities will no more inter fere with the more intimate relations between blacks and whites thafi they now do between the different classes of whites. The wealthy dernocrat does not fear that the poor labortf who jostles him at the polls will neces sarily seek a family alliance with him; nor does the laborer desire any other" association than political. lloraflo Seymour who is the present Democratic nominee fdr' President, advocated the adoption of the Constitution of the Southern Con federacy in iSfjl; and the dissolution of the United States Government. Ile said that the rebel Constitution was " better than ours!" Every ex rebel ought to vote for him. ' . Grant,as a ptlvate citi2en,stands as high with those who know him a any mart in the United StatcS; while as a soldier, patriot and statesfnan, he is as the noon-day sun, compared with ant who haTB been mentioned as his opponents. s He stands so high with the people that be is beyond the reach of the weapons used by the en emy,- and their attacks will have no more effect than the barking of a cur at the moon. There is no disguising the fictj that it is too soon to remove guard from over the assassin Democrats ill the South.
