His eyes were blue and mild.. His whole bearing gave evidence of subdued sadness and melancholy resignation.

All have been sold. For three years, and on foot, I have sought for mly child, in all the cities and all the villages in the three kingdoms. As soon as by painting portraits I succeeded in gainting a little money, I returned to Lon don to recommence my advertisements in the newspapers.

AND Wnhcr NExT ?---A gentleman riding near the city, overtook a young manl, and invited him to a seat mn his car riage. "And what," said the gentleman to the young stranger, " are your plans for the future ?" "I am a clerk," replied the young man, " and my hope is to succeed, and get into business for nmyself." "And whait next?" said the gentleman. "Why I intend to marry and set up an establishmenmt of my own," said the youth. I" And what next ?" I" Why, to continue inl business and ac~ cumulate wealth." "And wvhat next ?" " To retire from business, and enjoy ,the fruits of my labors." I " And what next?!" SIt is the lot of all to die, and I of course cannot escape," replied the young 3 ster.

Saved by a word. IN the gracious revival which we at tended at Huntsville, last wieek, there was a most interesting little girl converted and added to the church, whose salvation may, so far as the instrumental cause is regarded, be attributed mainly to one sentec from the pen of her dying mother. A few miniutes before the mother breathed her last, she called for paper, pen and ink ; and with her tremulous, dying hand, wirote the following solemn request: " My daughter, remember thy Creator in the days of thy youth !" How thoughtful the departing mother! And with pow~er does she yet speak ! Trhough the daughter was, at the death of her mother, but a few days old, yet these solemn words were carefully preseid vi; and as soon as the child could appr. ~.te them, were shown her by ther pious grand mother; and as might have been expect ed, had the desired efl'eet on her tender heart; her eyes ran full of tears, as her young heart ran over with filial emotion. Shte obeyed the instruction, written by the pale,~ bloodless hand of her mother; sihe remembered her Creator in the days of her early youth ; (she is probably about twelve years old,) and we saw her, with a countenance beaming with light and love, approach the sacred altar, and in connection with nearly a score of others -mostly young persons-and, by re ceiving the ordinance of baptism, dedica ted herself to God. Yes, she remembier ed God-sought early and found him even " in the (lays of her youth." How emphatically may it be said of this sainted mother, that she, "hbeing dead, yet speaketh." This was all she could do towards " training up her child in the way it should go." But God re quires no more of us than we can do sthis done,-done in good faith-and we Imay die satisfied, that God will be faith ful to his promlises." Oh, what a lesson to mothers! Moth c era, whether you live to see your children ;saved or not, you may be the means of - saving them. If they cannot apprecite eour faltering words. you may, with your t-mbling lOi leave to t6m, in the hani of some faithfu fiend, a salutary war Every mother, whether living or dyin should think .of: her children ; and if si can think at allle will think of then but every motieimar nlt be able, in ti last moments of disso'viiig nature, to pe her wishes, in reference to her child. 'Then might-it not be a happy precautio in a pious mother, to place a Bible, c some other-valuable book, in' the hani of each of her children;"or some frien< as a keep-sake, with sog.e admonition a the one recorded above, to be read whe she is gone ? pditihal Fromthe tnionvilUe Journal. Sep'arate Secession. We publish in anofhicoLumn the pro ceedings of a publi e.ilng held on Fri day last, at Padets Crek, in the West ern portion of this'Ditrnt. We had no the pleasure of being piresent at this meet. ing, but are infdriiidlit; was most enthu siastic in favor of the senession of South Carolina, solitary andial'ne, as soon as it was ascertaiined that ino other State would join her. The nunbiber present'was estimated at from one th usand to twelve hundred, and not a singlevoice was heard in opposition to the resol'tion or declara lion of rights and duties% which we pub ish. We are informe . also, that the neefing was one of fret discussion, but hat none attended for th~purpose except ecessionists. - The meeting va address d by the Hons. D. Will e and Wm. H. 3ist, both taking decid , roundsin. favor if South Carolina's res ing her rihts lelegated to the Gen* ciovernment, vith or without co-oper on. To this we. take ple -re in adding a econd denonstration in avor of seces ion, made in the Cou jouse .9AJni.. outhern Congress were14. secessioAstu, nd will doubtless select candidates of the ght faith. We do not feel- at liberty to idicate the persons upon Whose shoul ers the mantle ,will fall, but-we can assure ie fortunate, who ever they may be, that Icy will receive an overwhelming vote in ur District, and as we think, in the Con ressional District. In Union we believe ie future will bear us out in the assertion, hat at least eight-tenthis of.the people are i favor of secession, ivhile we are as irmly convinced, that one half of the ther fifth will cheerfully go"'ith the State vlhen she acts. Yet, notwitisiding this inparalleled unanimity in publc senti rreilt, we proroundly deplored'e necessi y of being compelled.to n"k:the issue. [he policy of the secessioij arty from he time of the first appearance of division n the ranks of the resistanee men of the tate, has been conciliation and harmony, -nion and co-operation at&me, for the ake of co-operation abroad. 'They have ~arefully and consistently avoided a course alculated to 4lrive their co-operation, and itimate secession friends from them, be ieving and hoping that era long it woul~d e apparent to all, that the aprospects, for :o-operation before secession would van sh, and that the only remaining hope-for o-operation, would be found in the act of single State secession. Georgia has long since taken her stand for the Union, in sbmitting to the past; Alabama too, has declared in favor of the detestable com~ promise ; and Mississippi, before this time, perhaps, has endorsed the abolition policy of the Fillnore dynasty. Where is co operation to come from then? How are we to get it? We answer, by secession, the single secession of South Carolina That secession wvill bring about co-opera tion, we think there is scarcely a doubt If we ever had misgivings on this point the letter of Speaker Cobb, of Georgia to the Macon committee, would remov< them. It will be remembered, that Mr Cobb is the submission candidate for Go vernor of Georgia and deniesithe right a seCession ; and yet this gentleman, in onl humble opinion, stands pledged to co operate wvith South Carolina, if she se cedes from the Union. Ourereason fo: this belief is his answer to thefollowinj question, propounded to himnbythe South ern Rights committee of a county to wit: " Do you believe that a State, by virtui of her sovereignty, has the right peacen lly to secede from the Union? Or isi your opinion that the General Govern ment has the constitutional authority ti coerce her to remain in the Union ? Ani should a call be made upon the militia, ti aid in attempting to coerce a secedini State, would you, if in the executive oftic< obey such requisition 1" After showing that such call could nc be made upon the militia, until after a act of Congress for that purpose, M1 obb nswers as follow:v. is "If a State should secede, it would be d. the most fearful issue that ever the people g, of this country had been called on to de. ie cide, since the days of the revolution i; so momentous, so vital to-the interest of ie the people of Georgia, that I should feel i in bound to ascertain the will of the people < - before I acted.' I should endeavor to be i n the executive of the will of the people of t ir Georgia. To ascertain that will, I should e Is convene the legislature of the State, and t 1, recommend to them to call a conventiofi 1 a of the people; and it would be for that ( n convention, representing the people upon ii that naked issue, to determine whether t ! Georgia would go out of the Union and ally herself and peril her destinies with the seceding State, or whether she would remain in the Union and abide the for tunes of her other sisters." Here are the sentiments of Mr. Cobb, who believes that secession will bring s about war, and consequently an attempt 0 on the part of the General Government It to coerce a seceding State. In that event, bi we maintain that Mr. Cobb is pledged to d co-operation, and here we beg our co- Y' operation friends to remember, that Mr. d Cobb positively denies the right of a State 'I to secede, and refuses to co-operate before n< secession, asserting that the question be. comes a practical one only after the act ut of secession, and that before, it is an ab- .t straction and wrong in the theory. Let it us make the practical issue that Mr. Cobb to speaks of; let South Carolina secede and " let us suppose then, that the General Go- fa' vernment, with all the army and navy it in has, is brought into requisition to coerce tul South Carolina, and a conflict, a bloody ra conflict of arms ensues. Let us suppose ha too, that thousands of Georgia's sons have d already flocked to the Palmetto standard, fo whose blood is freely mingling with that St of Carolinians in the cause of the South, ou in the cause of Georgia, and the General tlmi Government has called on the State- f en liium-in the very clash of arms-and cot who can doubt the result. Georgia will sol then eo-operate ivith us; North Carolina; m Alabama, Mississippi, and indeed the the whole South, for the same reasons, will mc soon follow suit, and a second indepen. tiO dence achieved.

Here is the answer of one of ,l their leadingi organs, the Charleston Eve nine News:w "Where the end is the same but the means are so different we knowv not how is harmony can be produced. The limit to the duration of the convention has been pa indicated, in various letters of the imnme-th diate secession leaders, as one year from ar< the, period of assembling ir. the spring of 1832. Now this is the limit also within which these leaders are wvilling to w~ait for Southern co-operation, cc " There can be no -agreement here be- aN tween the actionists, as they are called,N and the co-operationists, because the lat ter conceive that such limit, being affron- ye tive to our Southern sisters, must and ar would defeat co-operation. The dictation am implied in thus narrowing the period of th acquiescence to those who should be our i associates is an assumption of power by hi a minority over the majority. Would this sy be borne by those who claim equality, ti whether in the Union or out of it!t Would v South Carolina submit to be thus cribbed la ,and confinedi Should she not give her ai Southern confederates, if confederates p r they are to be, the same share of credit p. rfor pride that she herself would exact ? c -It is an assumption of a most offensive b character for any single Stats to say to F r her associates in interest, in wvrongs, and " r should be in remedies, we will giv'e you fi .just one year to decide whether or not a you wvill unite with us. Thie plain mean- ' ing of this is that we will force you into ii i a position in which you must either sym- ti -pathizo wvith us or olppose us, thns dlivest- b t ing the other parties to the alliance of all tI - independence of judgment. This isw~hat ~ a is called dragooning, and the unprece- V a dented presumption of the proceeding v a would consist in one of the parties, near- r Sly the most limited in territory, popula- p , tion, and resources, deciding for all the a rest. We believe that history is without 1 t a parallel to such an extravagant assump- N n tionm of snperiority." t r, We are rather pleased than otherwise I that ihe co.onerationists are showing their a is more agreeable to separate thafa e ft. change explanations. The inducements to secession are fhe prospective advantages of free trade, the prospect of a vast Southern republic, ex tending to the Isthmus of Panama, inclaz ding Cuba, and controlling the continen; tal gateways between the* Atlantic afid Pacific-and the further prospect of doir pelling the North, by treaties, to respect from self-interest, the sacredness of the domestic insfitutions of tirer neighbork We shall enlarge upon this very impor tant branch of the question in a day oj two. A single point for the present. From our commercial restrictions, Great Britain is introducing the cotton cutard in every available corner of her colonies.

The plain meanina of this re sponse by the News is that no action whatever is to he taken within the limited term of the State Convention. Their latform is becoming more and more de reloped, and, as each successive plank is xposed to view, it is becoming more man fest that the whole structure will be founud nodelled after the Georgia platform ubmission. The sooner this is known lie better, for we then can meet an enemy vithout any danger of wounding a friend. )ur friends, we think, wil see how vain t is to be casting the pearl of conciliation efore such a party. From the Anderson Gazette. The advantages of Secession. To those of our anxious politicians ,ho challenge loudly for the benefits of !cession, we would say, read the speech f the Hon. J. L. Orr, in to-day's paper. is true it was delivered some time ago, afore many of the new and astounding zngers of this measure were discovered, ?t, it contains a great deal of good sound >ctrine. Doctrine which we warmly >plauded then, and which we are even )w promulging, in our own humble way. o those who desire to adopt no mens e unless it will pay in dollars and cents, is argument will be invaluable. Here is demonstrated, in that most satisie ry of all modes, by actual figures, what would gain by secession. We pay the support of the General Govern. S mit $3.00 per head, and receive in re- ir n little else than abuse, oppression and u ik injustice. By this Government we o re already lost our equality, and it is o ly subtracting from our pockets three. s rths of its monstrous expenses. Our s ite Government, which according to si - Representative, furnishes all, every fi ig necessary for thesecurity, coiveni- :i e and lippiness. of the people, costs th P~-o all 0 amg to our creed. For lf Ruin, a& ite, complete Ruin is the penalty of re- o ining in the Union for a few.ycars, 8. n the conclusion is irresistible, that no k de of resistance can render our condi- n ri worse! But, fellow-citizens, our a rthern neighbors look at this remedy u sccession very differently from some of - modern politicians. Milliard 'Fill- P re, Daniel Welister;Henry.

Why, theofall it a dis- n ution of the Union, what they know it i T n fact and in truth.-They see in it th and destruction..to all their selish I fiendish hopes of plunder and power. h ey read in it desolation to the North- P urity and prosperity to South Carolina ! 1 the South. Yes, the provocations to s ession, and the advantages prospec- h a to the South, are very well understood the North. If it is only to ruin our- g ves, why should this Freesoil Govern- h nt be in such awful throes about it? e by should Webster, Clay, and Corwin h 'id omne genus,"-quake over~ it? If it ~ to destroy our Institutions aid emanci te our slaves, why do the Free Soilers pose it to the death, and declare that 1 SGovernment must put it down? These E i hard questions to answer consistently t th such belief. t Bozt read the followving extract from the rrespondence of the New York Herald, d it may give you a feint glimmering of arthern opinion: " The provocations to secession are ry wvell understood at the North. They a thie insecurity of slavery, and liberty, ~ .d law, and society, in the South, from ~ a active dissemination of abolitionism the North-free soil, nullification and wher law; they are to be found in the tem of taxation by tariffs and naviga mn laws, hr posed upon the South, under hich they contribute a disproportionate rge amount of the Federal revenues, id of whbich they receive a share dispro >rtionately small, in the Federal appro iations. The revenue system acts as a mstant drainage upon the South for the meft of the North-like one of those gyptian wvater wheels, which come up ith their vessels full of the fertilizing aid, empty it upon the absorbing land, id go downa empty for another supply. 'le provocations, then, to secession, are Northern aggressions upon the institu-1 an of slavery, and in the tariff system of unties to Northern manufacturers at me expense of the South. The State of outh Carolina, moreover, wvill kve n ry exalted affection for a Union in 'hioh she is sneered at, derided, misrep isented and ridiculed, as she is, by res ctable journalists and politicians of the ther States. Her love of the Union has een pretty thoroughly ridiculed and bused out of her. Living upon such rmns in the family, it is easier to drive r out thani to persuade her to remain in, nmid she Inejut in the humor in which it
