NICHOLSON & PRESfLEY An7iJ.18 f'.m W104tt , 1ss. CHILDHOOD. Childhood is like the laughing hours Of early Spring The very cloud that o'er it lowers A charm can bring; For, like an April sky, A shower, a sunny ray, So the bright tear in childhood's eye A smile can chase away. But even whilst we gaze Those early slays are gone, And soon the glow ing rays Of Summer hasten on : The bud haih opened to the flower, The boy to manhood sprung. And from his heari sin's dark'ning power Its bitterness hath wrung. He dreams that he can win from fame Asn honored, deathless name; Am fCollowing glory's banner's bright, He Gods an early grave; But mtonimory enshrouds in night The last hope of the brave. lie is forgotten-o'er his bier No nation's tears are ulsed ; Naught, save a widowed mother's tear. Laments the hero dead. The poet strikes his lute Sweet thrill its golden strings; Bus li c prai,e is ute Ilii lay no rapture trings. And mournfully his heart Echoes its tender tone, Hi. airy dream. depart, His hope of faime has flown. Like an expanded flower, Whose leaves fall one by one, Ho 4- fades neathdipappointment's power, 'iil manhood's prime is gone. And age, like Auttumn, chill and sore. Scatters each fading lear, Till not one flamer rqnmins so cheer The path of lire so safy drear, And yet so brief Till all the weary heart would crave Is but a rest from woes The coming winter of the grave. lis snow around him throws And even thus frns youth to age, Man treads his weary pilgrimage. Gliflon. LAvirA. MORNING MEDITATIONS. BY THOMAS HOOD. Let Taylor preach, upon a morning breezy, How well torise while night and larks are F ying. For my part, geiting up seems not as easy By half as lying. What if the lark does carol in the sky. Snaring beyond the ight to find him out Wherelore am I to rise at -uch a fly? I'm not a trout!

SReoived, That the convention recom mend to those who are cultivating ihe mul herry tree for market to turn their atten tion to the prodtetion of Silk, by which 111e) will not only increase their o~wn gain. but eninently subserve the interests of their country by diffusing a knowledge of this highl. important branch of national indus try, and ,xhibiting practical and demoustra ble evidence of the profits to be derived there-from. Resolved, That, in the judgment of this Society, there are no occupations that promise more to ameliorate the moral and pbysical condition of a large portion of our population, and to elevate them in the seate or intellectual and moral worth, than those involved in the culture of Silk. Poor children, indigent females, the lame andl infirm of both sexes and all ages, will fiud in this branch of industry employment lucrative, healthy, and moral. That the Philanthropic and humane with those of the clerical and learned professions in pro mating, by their influence and example, the culture of Silk, will add another to the niany already existing evidences of theirdevotion to fhe best interests of our people. and will deserve the thatke of their fellow citizens and of this Society.

A HINT roR yA4uaar.--The Collecting Month-Not at Home.-The Pbiladelphia Spirit of the Times tells the following story at the expense ofone of its customers:-. The devices of collectors, it is known, are various as they are sometimes ingeni ous-and more especially so with collectors of newspaper bills. Ours hasjust related us the following which being good as well as late, we give it for the benefit of dll par ties. Dropping it at th6s place of business of a slippery customer yesterday morning, he addressed the servant with-"Is Mr. Butler within?" 'No; he is out of town." "When can I see him?" "I don't know have-you any special busises with tim?" "Yes, there is a small- hill which I wish to settle." "Well" said the servant, - I don't know w bother he will return this week or not." . But I wish to pay the bill as I am to leave town imniediately." "0! you with to pay him some money. iHe id up stairs, i thinking; I will call him Please to walk in; ti'ke a thair, sir, your hat if you please. Mr. Butlerwill be with you in a moment." CaAn APPL E,oquirc.-The fol lowing tpeech was perpetrated in Pike country, Illinois, by a buck-eye lawyer of those parts. It was upon a case of a dead cow: Gentlemen of the jury-it are one thing for u rhan to be brought up, and It are a nother thing for him to think he are; as for that are man (his opponent,) I dont think he war ever brought up at all, but jist na turally fotched down on a raft! He have said a gread deal about vexations, suits, and sich; but, gentlemen, if he had a come don a to this court, and had'nt found no suits on docket, I guess there'd a been a nother sort of vexation then. And vexa lions or not, the gentleman gits as many fees out on'ein an any body else. He have told you that we have not proved our cow to he worth a single cent, and you don't know that she was worth any thing. Now this are not the idea of a sound and legal lawyer, but are the notion of a mushroon! Sir, there never war a cow since the days of old Adam that war not worth a single cent-for if she warn't worth nothing for a breed cow, she are worth something for her hide and taller, and the tail goes with the hide! He have said much more about our evidence. Now this are not a crimi nal case, and we an't obliged to have pri ma facie evidence. If it war a criminal case like murder, then, before you can find him guilty, yon must have prima facie evi dence of the fact-I say prima facie evi dence, that is, sell evident of itself! But this an't a criminal case,and we atn't bound to have primoa hicie evidence. And now I think on't the gettleman told you it war a civil suit for damages, and he said the law I rend to you war for a crimnal oflW-ce. It war so, ge-ntienen, and I renad ii to you tat show you what we monught have de,e if we had a choose tao he vexatious as the gentleman supposed-we mought have made a criminal case, but we did'nt; andl now. gentletnatn, I'll tell you a case that camne into my head, but I don't know war it is. A man war ttuck up for stealing ducks, and they tried him, and war going to find him guilty, when he proved that they war all drakes,tand so they did'nt have prima facie evidence of the fact. But as I said before, gentlemen, we an'm in a criminal case, andl we an't bound to have pritma facie evidence. The gentleman have esaid his client's are a hard case. it are a hard ease, gentlemnen of the jury, and it ought for to he; for what says the good book-it says " The ways of the transgreaasors are all hard !" and that's the reason why the gentleman's client's are a hard one. Miss:ssiPPi Eavaaraa.-We learn from the Natchez Vreo Trader of the 21st ult., that a cuompan y has been formed in Mississippi under the law for limited co partnerships, entitled "the Mississippi Im porting Company," for the purpose of im porting directly from Liverpool. The Company is said to be powerful and1 en terprising. Its pirincipal House will lie loated in Natchez-one of the branches being in Vickshturg and another in New Orleans, will facilitate the business of the Company in the present interrupted state ordirect communication, between Natchez and Liverpool.
