J- a 29 nr a. 24 5Litt potn;. SONG TO THE SABBATH. The Sabbath day-the gilt divine! That whatsdt 'er our creed, Supplies with bounteous beniign Leisure for every need; For prayer, for praise, for soothing rest; For thought of boundles scope, For heed of Charity's behest, For love, fur joy, fur hope. The Sabbath day-the glorious day Beyond the city Late, Let tens of thousands wend their way, Where breeze and sun.hine wait, And let them see the treamlets flow, And tread the daisied rod, And look upon the buds that blow, And search and find out God. The Sabbath day-the buckler strung. That guards the poor and weak, Shielding the desolate from wrong, Leaving the tyrant weak. The Sabbath day-O prize it well, Its wisdom learn to sean ; A like in temple. field. or cell, ' The Sabbath made for man." THE PRINTEE'S LOVE. We love to see the bloning rose, In all its beauty dressed.; . We love to hear our friends disclose The emutions of the breast. We love to see the ship arrive Well laden to our shore; a We love to see our netighbors thrive, h And love to bless the poor.

A Test Of Kininess, The following incident is so beautiful and touching. that it should be read in every ti hisehold in the conitry. It developes true ; active principle of kindness. low many d, - erring iortal: making his first step in ' -eijnight be redeemed by the exercise Of iers Sullime trait in tue drIu umte% 01 LI kind harted Quaker: W illiatn S6avery, ati eminent preacher f, :inng the Quakers, was a tanner by trade e nd was known by all as " -tne who walked s nbly with hiis God." One ::ight a qnan0 tit of hides were stole:n from his tannery, h aiil he had reason to believe that the thief as a qua:rrelsome. drutnken neighbor, whom a call J"n Sieiti. 'I'le n:ext week the le ftlowig advertieent appeared in the C nuitry newspaper: - hoever tule a quantity of hides on a tl,. fiftl of this month, is hereby informed that the owner has a siicere wish to be his a jriend. If Poverty tempted him to this fialse te step, the owner will kewp the whiile transac tion secret, aid %%ill gladly put him in the way , of btaining mnoney by means more likely to bring him peace atf mind. This *singular advertisement attracted h Cosiderable attention ; but thee culprit aloie a tew wthio had nmade the kiind offer. W1hien eread it his heart melted within him, atnd r: ewas filled with sorrowv for what lie had nlte. A few nights afterwardls, as the ta- Ih cr's family wvere about returning to rest. ey heard a timtid knock, and when the oor was opened there stood Jolt: Smith, with a load of hides on his shoulders. - ithout looking up, lie said :" I have broughtt hese hack, Mr. Savery ; wvhere shall I put c hem ?".v "Wait till I catn get a lantern, and I wil_ go to the barn with thee," lie replied, " theen: perhaps thou wvilt conie in and tell nte heow, this happened. W~e wvilh see wvhat can he, done for thee." . . . As soon: as they were gone out, his wife prepaed sonie hot coffeec, and placed jeies ud meat on the tble. When they ret urned rom the barn, she said :" Neighbor Smith,. ['thought some hot suppier would be good for thee."( lie turned his back towards her and did ot speak. After leatinitg agatinst the fire place in silence a fe.w moments, lhe said min aeboked voice: " It is the first time I everi sttle a::3thing, and I have felt very had, about it.' I an: sure I didn't once thinek that Ishould ever comne to what I amt. But It took to drinikinig, and the:: to quarrelling. Sine I began to go down hill every body< gives me a kick. You are the first man tha:t i has ever offered me a helpitig hand. lgly wife is sitkly anid my childre:n starvinig. You ave senit them manty a m'eal. (;od bless 1 you! but yet I stole the hides. But I tell ou the truth whien I say it is the first time Iwas ever a thief." "Let be the last, m:y friend," replied Wil am Savery. The secret still lies between ourselves. Thou art still young, and it is it thy power to make up for leost time. Prom ise me that thou wilt not drinik any intoxica ting liquor for a year, amnd I will empslo., i thee to-mnorrow on good wages. The littl y cane pick up stones. But eat a bit now nd drink somte liot ctsflee ; perhiaps it w~ill keep thee from: craving anything stronger 1 .iiight. Doubtless thou wilt fin~d it hard to abstaini at first; but keep up a brave 1 heart for the sake of thy w'ife and children:.1 and it will soon hecoime eas~y. ' hien thouI ist neced of coffee, tell Maty, and she wil give it thee." The poor fellow tried to eat and drink, hut the food seemed to choke him. After inly trying to compilose his feeling, he1 bowed Ihis head on the table and wvept like a child. After a while lie atte and dran:k, atd his host parted with hmiti for the n:igh:t Iwith the frienidly w ords: "~ Try to do well. John, and thou wilt always find a friend I: e." John enttered inito his employ the twi ay and remained with him mnany,.vars. it sober, honest and steady man. The secret f the theft was kept between them: but ifter John's death, Williarir 'averv sometimes told the story, to prove that evil mnight he avercoime with giood. "Alas! I Married too Early." BY SUKE. " Alas ! I married too eailv.!" was tht !laiation of one ut' Eve's fairest daugh ers as she reclined upon a couch wet with ears. She was but 18, though from her -are-worn countenance one would thintk her it least twenty-five. 11er name was Lilly )enne ;she was of a respectable and wealthy lamilv, and like most othe'r fair oneS, was -arly beset by a crowd of admniring sidtrs. nimong the most favored of these was Hen y Deane, a gay younrg mn t-m, rash anid inpetuous. One by one her admirers, meet rig wihit no encouragement, discontinued heir visits,. and He-vry became her only uitor. The courtship had proceeded for Me year, when Harry met a friend who had itely been married, and we will detail their on versation. Well, James, so you've been getting iarried." Yes, and if you would do wisely, do the aime." " But am I not too yong ?" said Henry. " Lnok at rme," said his friend, "1 1 am our junior by one year, and am a happy >an." James escorted Harry to his house, which 'as a perfect model of neatness, in short larry's impetuous disposition would not hlow hin to wait that very night ie bent is steps toward the house of his beloved ,illy and asked her hand. lie was aceep -d, and the marriage fixed to take pla-e in aree weeks. Harry went horne almost he tie himself with joy. " Father," said he, I aimr going to get married." Slowly and elierately the old man rose, and fixing i's Cen grey eyes on his son, said, " You ! a oy of 20 years-get rmarried ? Beware-I ve lived long enougr to see many a victim > ealy marriages. Mlark my words, you ill repent ere ialry inonths have passed ver your head." 0 9 9 9 9 9 They were married, and Mr. and Mrs. eanre Iade their entrance into tie matri. lorial world. -The honey-moon passed agreeably, and ie oung couple settled thenselves dowir life.

He had wars before sper.t his monrev in fine clothes i rasmorNrinm'e auruirestvl"".-- - - __ - the year never had a dollar left ; and the olish fellow had not bestowed a thought i how ie was to hear his increased expren-r s. The house was furnished neatlv anid onomically. About two weeks after the mey.moon Lilly said to Harry 'is he was out goinrg to Iis business, " Harry, I wan couple of new dresses, so vou iad better ave rme a little money." " Lilly," answer I he, " If Yo are going to Ibe so extravaL mt. vou will ruin ine. I lIst $10 at cards st night and will int lie able to aive volr onev till the montth is ont."

IBnorienLl KINDNEs TO TlIt ErniiNo. ong wvomnan, sonic time ago, entered a ay goods store and wished to look ait seve.ral lngs, anad among others at kid ghoves. A C er lookinig at ribbhots, laces, anid sundry ther articles, she made a purchatse of sonme all mntter for five or six cents. A gern enan in the store nioticed that she had coil 'ald one pair '>jf the kid gloves which had eeni put on theo counter for lhen examuination. hle the clerk was making change, the ut.lan mranirged to notify merchant of eiu teft. Whrile miairy w'ould have spoken r harshly ind reproachifullyv to the young orian, or prhaps have charged hair adouble . the gloves, a better s,pinit moved this 'excellent merchant. Wishing to speak with her aside for a moment, he told her that he was aware that she had yielded to a- base temptation, aid had taken a pair of gloves. She acknowledgeI her guilt, and would make any reqrired compensation. But he would neither take the gloves back, nor take anv compensation for them. Kindly and brokter-like. he desired her to keep them as a warning, hoping that no such temptation would ever overcome her again. Who could .have done anything more noble, or more likely to reform or save from future errors? From the southern Baptit. Style. We must confesz, notwithstanding the gene. ral elevation of American society, that dan. gerous elements exist in its constlitution. The great cities are the regulators of our manners. They extend a sensible influence over all parts of the country. From these centres the power of the press is exerted. And our migratory fashionable society, in its visits to watering places and its country so. journings, carries the infection of mnetropoli. tan customs and principles, everywhere. It is a fact which, however painful and alarinin ought not to be :oncea!ed, that these exam ples and lessons are not, for the most p.rt, such as our people can wisely follow. 'lhe New York Times, iii a recent editorial on the social organization of that city, says: " Our fashionable society is a shame, from beginning to end. It is utterly uisound, depraved, and unnatural-a deceptive piece of rotten wood, nrade to look shiny with French polish, and glittering with the phos. phorescent light of corruption-a copper cent, trying its very best to look like a fiv. franc piece, and, what is worse, in nine cases out of ten succeeding." That this is a correct description of New York society, we are assured by persons who have devoted to it a prolonged investigation. But in a modified sense it is also true of a class to lie found everywhere. The great end of life with our fashionables, is an Epien. rean enjoyment, niore or less reflned, and thereforo the whole weight of their example tends to depreciate the popular morals. In. stead of the moderatioin, the temperaice. the self sacrifice, enjoinded byv tie precepts of the Gospel and the example of Jesus Christ himself; high bVinig, worlIdly pleasure, ex. travagance of style and freedom of indulgence are exhibited as the proper destination of man.-For these, social amuies are reser ved. To these, social distinctions are award. ed. To eneouraige these, a thousand example of the self-styled great, are operative all what is there in this si vle of yo.rs, that de serves to be imitated or even desired by a ra tional man I It is easier, and therefore far less creditable, to spend than to gather. We know that creditors lose, that honest laliorers remain unpaid, that innocent finnilies are ruiiined, by the extravgagance of dress and eqipage and furniture that build up the motley structure of fashionale greatness. We have knowi luxury itself to ble used as a cloak for new&mnpositions ; and one who is about to fall has enlarged his expenditures, ambitious, it would abnost seem, of birying as many fortunes as possible beneath th. wreeks of his own. And to what societv can we repair, where we shall not findi style maignificence of apparel, carelessness of ex peniditure, nontorionslV adolipted as a shari-per's trick to seenre some advantageous marriage or unifair advanitiage? So thiiat if fashin imptroves the arts, and multiplies the r-efmoe mrents of human initerco~urse, it vet is a po lific source of injustice and dishonesty. A mrani of ton we must admit, is niot neces rarily a dishonest person. But the natural influence of the principles to which lie is subservient, bears him powerfully towarrd this destination of character. [Ie permits himself to lie judged niot by whart lie is, liut by what he has ; not by hrimself, but by his externrals.-IHis first duty is to shine. HeI consents to be judged by the splendor of Ihis plumes, and is comphlacenitlyV permited to forget froim whom anid by whart methods hre obtained them. But fashion is most objec tionable because it turns away the attention from the most im portant duties of lifen. It strips hiumianity of its most elevated sentiments. It haes e'ven power to make mothrers unnatural. Th'Ie dear little ones who should have dIrawn life from the maternal hosomi, are committed to menii als. TIhe precious immnortals who should have heard of God and heaven fr omi maternal lips, arid seen the living pattern of religioni in its most saintly form-thre mnaternral exampnl'e -are neglected withn a cruel indifference. Hlome ceases to be homne.

There have been meetings held at Inde pendence and Westport, Missouri, to coun teract the emigration from the free States into the new territories, by slave emigration. The St. Louis Republican publishes the resolutions. Those of the Westport meet ing are as follows: Having recently. received intelligence of the prssage of a lill by Congress for the organization of the Territories of Kansas and Nebraska, repealing the Missouri restriction, and opening said Territories for settlement equally to all the people of the Union; and feeling a deep and lively interest, especially in tie speedy occupation of our border Ter ritory of Kanisas, and the organization of a government in it, and the passage of laws which shall protect emigrants from every portiorn of tihe country in the possession and einjoyment of their property, of whatever character; and having heard, through the public papers, that organizations are now on foot in 'some of (lie Northern States, having fr their object the colonization of the new Territories exclusively with eastern and for eign paupers, with a view directly to exclude and deter from the said Territories emigra tion from the Southern States, and more par tieularlv slave emigration from Missouri and Arkansas; aird having also heard of a recent attempt of a ganig of Freesoilers, who held a- meeting within this Territory, and auda cioumnly resolved that no slave property should be brought into the same ; and being our selves, iany of us, determined to seek in Kansas our future homes, and to carry with us our property of every description which we think proper; and being determined to hold and enjoy the same in peace or by force, we hereby organize ourselves into a socicty of Missourians, for mutual protection, and " 1.

"4. Resolved, That we recommind to our fellow-citizens of Missouri and Arkan S:ms. miiore especially ot the border counties, to organize with these ends in view; and to each and every man who feels an interest in the destiny of the future State of Kansas, to lie on the alert, that we may avail ourselves of the great adlventages wvhitch the contiguity oif the new Territory at once givos to us, arid e-ntitles us, in monldinng thre government arid institutionrs of the future State in accor lance with those of our own, aind thyjs guar miiry for the future a good neighbor- arid a flrm ind, united to. us lby the bond of iiinterest.

We have every reason to believe that it is now the settled purpose of the -whigs of thi South in Congress, who are opposed to the affiliation with Northern whigs who are'ei ther for a repeal of the fugitive slave law or pronounce the repeal of the Missouri com-. promise a gross outrage, to agitate for th, formation of a new Southern party, based upon a refusal to affiliate in any way what ever with any man or party whatever, tinc tured remotely or directly with freesoilism. They allege' that the national organization of democratic party aids, abets, and sustains to a certain extent, the democratic freesoil. ers, in acknowledging them to be a-wing of' the great democratic organization of the'. country; and they further, doubtless, intend to argue to their respective constituencies, that they should no longer send democrats to Congress, unless under a pledge thatLthey will wash their hands clear of all such as-. sociations. Above, we present .the points upon which the new party are to go -before the country. The end of their movement cannot yet be foreseen, though its success can hardly fail to be very much in the pro. portion in which Northern democrats identi-. fy themselves with the cause of the repeal of the fugitive slave law. We clip the above from the Washington Star. We regard the rumored. movement of the Southern whigs as a good one. It is - high time that the peop!e of the South were more perfectly united-that all political dif. ferences, which have heretofore divided them and which exist more in name than in reali ty, should be merged in fraternal union and a sectionil defence of their constitutional rights, and especially their peculiar institu. tion-that party lines should be obliterated forever, aiid our people rally around a com mon standard prepared to contend " to the death" for their rights in the Union, or'a separation, a final and complete separalion from those who seek to destroy us. The Whigs and Democrats of the South are more clo'ely affiliated in interest thin the wings of either party in the two sections ofr'the Union. The Democrats of the North-a large majority of them-are farther removed in principle, above all, in fraternal feeling and interest, from the party of the same at the South than are the most ultra Whigs of our section. There should, therefore, be a general fusion of two parties with us-an obliteration of nl party differences. Our, enemies are many and fierce, thirsting fi our life.blood.

The gentleman communicated the in formation to one or two others, and after closely watching the movements of. the par ty in question, who was quite nervous, and ontinumlly enqiring of the conductor where ie could change cars, they became convinced hat all was not right with him. Fortunate y, perhaps, for the ends of justice, if not for he comfort of passenger-s, a train had run >ff the track near Sumterville, thus causing :onsiderable delay to the cars in which they ,vere travelling. Officers were procured and he suspected man, arrested. When his bag p:ge was produced he denied that it belong. ~d to him, but the conductor declared that le was the person who placed it- in his cus ody.
