Thm-y have learned that all Liars shall have their part in the lake which bui-neth with fire and briimtone," that a heart searching God requires the truth to be spoken at all hazards. The oath laid upon-them has its proper stringency and the rights of others are protected. As to the private duties of life, they have learned to render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom eus tom; fear to whom fear honor to whom honor." Consequently the tendency of tie Sunday School is to make the reholars good citizens, the upholders of law and order, and the promoters of sehemtes of benovolenec for the poor and suf feiingi.

WILSON. CUAPTER I. Ix a certain town in England-there resided a young'Indy, who besides being gifted with those indispensable requisites to female love. liness, beauty grace and intelligence, had come in possession of a large fortune. In deed, it would not be too much to say that Mary Livingsti n was the acknowledged belle of the pl:ce, which, with the wealth she pos sesssed, constituted her a perfect- cynosure; attrncting, as she could not fail to do, a host of admirers. But, though adorned with so many personal charmes, and having every worldly comfort at her command, she was not devoid of tender feelings. Though beautiful, she was not vain ; and her good heart would not allow her to hesitate in per. formin" sincere acts of kindness towards those wNo might be considered her inferiors. Charity and benevolence were priceless gem, in her estimation; and the fidelity with which she nurtured them in her own bosom could not fail to elicit from the well-disposed, ap proval and admiration. Love was, indeed, a part of her nature; and in the very sparkle of her eyes it could easily be discerned. Incapable of restraining it to her own breast, it would always flow out into every grade. of life, producing a beautiful effect, and exerci ing a benign iiflnence. But there was one whom she regarded with a part icular anxiety. Richard Langdon, a young man of prepos sessing appearance, had succeeded, notwith standing the rivalry he had to contend with, in gaining her affection. Ie was a stranger in the place, having come from a neighbor ing town on a visit, which he intended to extend to a couple of mnnths: ut, 'being very sociable in is dispotition, he soon made a pretty general :equaintance, and fixed his eye on M1ss Livingston. .Having gained information concerning her circum stances--that she 'was the only child of de ceased parents-that her income wasconsid erable, and that she was left in the care of a childish old uncle: and feeling a strong de mire to obtain wealth, -wi:hout caring how, he commenced prosecuting his plans for the rcqmezfe pfinn s6 hof eiaage iW flo* eti, matttled the trees with blossoms, elothed. the ficld u'ith verdure, and suffused-the hols~w-ith -the taistening influefice of nan-: itire's tear-drop-the brilliant, spinrclug ddw, w1ieltho gvlowing sun ever and nion ox hales to limself but only to dispense again at his departure. The evenings were serene and be'autiful, and offered temptatioans for joyous ramblings, which the medititive -ad. uirers of bright and silent night'could not easily resist, At aby rate, so it *s With our lovers. Often they strolled outt6gether, to breathe -out their hearts in. warm expres sioi of love-to g-.'ze on tleafull orbed moon, and drink In the: beauties that nature pre-i sented-the one wira sincere trusting heart. -the other witl falsehood on his tongue. But to one of thoie 'butiful'evenings we would havereference in pariieul'ar. - At a short-distance from the village,-and. centiguous to the uncle's estate, was situa ted a asmall, but well proportiond lake,- on: which it was 'the custom of some" of those whose means allowved them to keep a boat to sail. On the evening in question, Mis Livingsto'n and Langdian both captivated by the bewitehing aspect of-the scenery around, and the se~eet tranquility of the warter, whose surfaeel w~as merely 'tippledby the soft breese' that swept aeross it dIrected' their steps toward the little sailing vessel that lay moored in a curve of the shore.~ In necor-. dance ivith their intention, the jib aid main .anil' were hoisted, and with a slowv, gentle motion, they spread. 'far away 'down the strennm> Nothing-could be more enchanting: -more enra'pturing.

From the Southiern Press. The next PjresideUtia Election. The Hon. Alexander 'H. Stephens, a'dia-' tinguished representafive in Congress from Georgia,'and -a staunch advocate.of the "final ity of the compromise," in a private letter to. a friend, now-biecome public, deilares him self "utterly opposed'to sending deletates to the Baltimore Convention," meaning. I pre sume, the Democratic, Convention. in this I perfectly-agree with him; but should have been better- pleased had he extended hisdis approbation to, a Whig Conventitn,'sh6uld such a one be contemplated. It* is clear from this letter, which is 'iitt-emely well .written, that Mr. Stephens is becoming aware that.the compromise is not exactly a "final ity," and that a co-operation of either of the Southern parties with either of those of the North, must be brought about, not by con cessions, or guarantees to theformer, butby acquiseence in new encroachments of the latter. In order the more clearly to compre hend the actual position of. the South it seems necessary to take a brief glance at the present state of the two great parties, now di!iuting the ascendeicy in the government of the lUnited'States. That-section of.the Whig: party which sdems about to rally round Mr. Fillmore or Mr. Websterjnake it a. sine qua non. tlrt their candidate for the Presidency shall.paii tain the "finality"- of the compromise in all its parts: wlile:that.portion of which Mr. Seward is supposed to le the head, Main tain it is not final, either with- respect to 'the fugitive slate law,-or against future aggres sions of.the Abolitionists. --On the other hand, it is said that a portion of- the North ern Democratic party, i !1ke manner, rally round the finality of the compromise while ; is certain- that a far-greater portioi) :elled Freesoileia are sternly adverse to it on the ground- of the fugitive slive' law, and espe eially, beeuse It does not embody the Vil mot proviso in so many word. As yet, no party, Ionh, Eait or West, hash.olown the slightest disposition' to co-op erate with the South'in-defenee of"its inAti-' tutions. No party has ventured to come forard In opposition to the settled, na'wed. policy afthe Abolitionists and .Freesoilers.

What, then, do Northern 'politicians, and Southern acquies cents, mean by the " finality 'of the Coin piro'ise?". They mean only that it shall be finainas respects every thing injurious, insul ting, offensive to the South, and null. and void as' to the only measure in which all its representatives heartily concurred. Th e sole agency of Southern delegates to a Northern convention, wIli be' limited to a choice of evils'; 'for It is scleely within the reach of possibilitj that a' candidate for the Presidesney' in the least' favorable to South ern' rights will' be -selected for reasons I have just specified.

But it has lately been accustomed to a choice of evils, and use reconciles us to almost eve ry thing but hunger, gout and the tooth acke.
