Ah! surely thwe wham God best loves Are hurried to the grave; The lost to earth are they. whom most Out Father seeks to save. Like the pure lilly ealed at morn Ere vet the dew exhales, Or crushed by blight or passing storm. Or torn by ruthless gales Is broken from its graceful stem A nd robbed of all its bWin ; And now a thing impure it lies A prey for nature's tomb. The guiltless child, al1 pure and fair, Pride of the p aecul home, Who.,e dark eyes beatmt alone with love For those who near her come. Whose litile. thri-bbing. gu'leless heart, Knows niaught hut that's pure; Whiose chillili hive for I leaven:y things No ghttering sna:vs can lure. Ah. surely we who sorrow niost, Whieti suIl as these h:1ve flown, To uh-:t inmnorial Eten where E :rtli's eli'.cest aimiis are gone, Would not. if by a pitying God To us the piower was given. Reveelaio, for e%rth :ml all its woe, The cherubim fron ljeaven. Oh ! mourner 1,ise th.u knowest not . But in this btounidles hve, That sie. thy iarl ng first born here, Sh'uld guile theex: inee, above. When tarth-born eares auadt'rubles grieve The tri, d ant fu ntan' head; Perebamee tihe spirit of the lost, 'ihV wav. ring stups may lead. And shouldlst thou falter by the way, It woul.l not plume, its wing, 'Till at th'ovtstouIefjiy God Thy sot rors-it lorl'b'ring. And then the'tlfinks at Jesus' feet, WithI pinions droping low. The p'ending sigh- of thy sweet one Would bliesings for thee sue. Then like the I'ghtning's gleam at eve, O'er the enainelled sa a; The seraph would resume its place, And with her parunts be. Then mourn not, for-the earily deadl, For lleaven iioust caim its own ; And those who die without a stain, Must wear the brighter crown. ROSi, COTTAGE. A HONE.

T hey are more civilized. more moral usefi - friend-liip.

The allirmnai-e is argned by the auihor of the Addresm before tle Abberillp Bible Society at its recent anniversary ; we are on the negative. A64 faor as our neaos of iiforniation setid the advocate has entiirely misapprehonded theu gronuils of that Iegi.Jation which " enacts that slaves shall not be, taught to read." lIe ha4 moreover simply atempied to di-prove the negrn tive of.his piotposi: 4in forgetting that he atlir mative i6 without proof. Wo might here rest our cause, and wait for the anlirnative to be argued ; but we insist that the laws in question are imperiously demanded by a retgard to public safety, not because -'savery is most compatible wih h'a state of profound ignorance,' but because iaintecad of readinig the Bible, shaves would have 'lared in their lanids those ' cit her docuients, books and papers" inculcating insuibordination and rebelli.m. n.d thus plcinig the livs of nour families in imliminent peril. If with the abiliiy Ito re:id you could impart true religion, or even a desire or diposilion to re:ad the Bible, the danger would be largely diminished. But if a judgment may be formed the known conduct of white readers, we may reasonably conclude that the great majority of the blael;s would prefer other books than the Bible. Is there any great moral reason why we should incur the trendons risk of having our wives : mid children sl.turlitered in consequence of our laves bei'a taut!ut to read incendiary publica tionls?

THE QURSTION EEFORE US. 31ESSRS EDITORS: I a glad to see that the preof he u ri begining t awake uipon the great, queLiin of the day. I thought in 183:2 that it was our policy to di-solve this Ulnion. I thonght so again in 1850. 1 still ihink so inl 1854. But the reasons fur this opin ion are very dillerent uow from tlioe which inininced mse tweaty-iwo years ago. The pro. servation of this Uiiun is no longer a question. The time for thaL di.cussion ha.s long since pass ed. 6aving the Union is as dust in the balatice wheni coripared witi the i.sue about being made ny for us. The imatter for onr present consid eration is that mouientuus -question of self pre sercation. Not our prosptri:y, but our existence rs a people, depends upon our system of slavery. Witt usslavery j4 a qjuestion nothing short of life and de.ath. This is the great problem which the nineteenth century has to solve. In a few years this question is destined to absorb all oihers, and upon its solution depends the fate not only of this country, but of the West India islands and South America. That an must be a very superficial obserrer of hum. n events-have read history to very little purpose-who thinks that this question canl be settled without an open issu-an1 issue not of words, but of acts. Some twenty-five y ears ago a Few unknown and despised ;.boli tionists, " soltry and .oie,'" set in motion this b31 of iboliion. They c.itue into Congress with their petitins. They begram the work of aita.tion. They imve continued to agitate with out sleep to their eyes, until they are now.tirmly in their seat and the reins in their l4"nds. This is an assertion which, if true, should make eyery Southern nm begin to "puL his I house in order," for whei the abolition party atually erpers upon the admihistratioi of this governlteit, all distinaction will cease between imasler-and -Jave. If in :hat day Southern slave. holders are still the subje'cts of this Federal tiovernment, and amenable to its laws, their lives and their property will pass away like the inrilig cloud. 'I here is an importance inl this view ill our cotroversy A ith the abolitionists which has tlnt yet been duly considered. This cimiro'ersy, we may sately admit, had its origin in at h-niest, but faiatical zeal f~or liberty-a tuorbid and mistaken sympathy for imagined n roigs. But to. what is this fling growing? Wiere i i destined to end ? Caimiination and reerimination, repeated acts of impertinent imer I lerence and ou.rage on one side, of scorn and detiance on the other, is daily embitteriing feel ing between the parties; and when the final issue i6 made:by an overt act, they'will be found arrayed in tierce and mortal hatred, 'envenomed by irrevoi. ble wrong." 'The coilliet then will be *not for the pre.servation of the slave, but extermiiidna h ftit te nast er; and the na... has reoclied this p..inful -conclu-ion, that the abolitioi party las, in point of fact, already achiered its purpose, atnd that it only require, time to ripen and ext-cnte its fell decrees. Since. howeer, to establish this fact is the chief pur. pose of the present writing, it tnust i ot be left to rest upon a-sertion or opinion. What then are the T-fets which lead to this patinful conclu. sion ? . Fir.t, then, I would urge every Southern ma. gravely to c oniJer the unmistakeable evidence all'ortled by the late Cougres.'ional elections :t the North. The Democratic party hais been de feated.

" The' workies!" We should like to know, if the workies were taken away, what then would be left. Only a foul scum, compounded about equally of knaves, fools, charlatons, and demigogues-the fungi of the world-parasites on the enterprise, the industry, and the moral worth of mankind. We have taken a glance through our city, not to go farther, to see what " the workies" are do. ing.

When -you meet with men who do not scruple to make use of.a wvo main's unme in a reckless and unprincipled man ner, shun them, for they are the very worst mnem liers or the community, men loast to eyery sense of honor, every feeling of humanity. .Many a good and worthy woman's character has been forever rminted, and her heart broken by a lie, manufaetured by some villain, and repeated where it should not hnve been, and in the pre setnee of those whose little judgmnent could not deter them from circulating- the foml and bragging report. A slander is soon propagated, and the smallest thing derogatory to a woman's character, will fly on the wings of the .wind, and magnify as it circulates, until its monstrous weight crushes the poor unconsciouis Victim. Respect thte name of woman, for your mother, your sister, are women ; and as you would have their fair name untairnished, and their lives un embittered by the slander's biting tongue, heed the ill tthat your own words may bring upon tbe mother, the sister, or wife of some fellow-crea ture.
