My Mother's Gouo. My soul is filled with anguish, And sorrow wreathes my brow, For ft loving smile I languish, i That has goo o from my pathway DOW, Qooo like tho swoct wild flowers That bloomed in tho sunny Juno; Vanished liked tho happy hours, That passed from my lifo too soon. I'ot I try to bo light hearted, To forget my (loop despair; But oh! to think wo aro parted Is moro than I oan boar. ' Othors cling around mo, And whisper words of ohcor; Yot thoy only moko mo love thoo With a dooper, firmor lovo. I dream of theo at miduight, Whoo tho stars arc in tho sky, And wonder agaiu at moonlight, And watch tho olouds float by. 1 I sit on tho banks of Granny's Quarter In tho summer evening's glow, And feel my sad heart quiver With tho mcm'ry of loug ngo; And I whisper sweet and softly, Oh, tako mo back ngain Back to thy heart, and lovo mel Yot I plead, nnd plead in vaia. Ob, tho day that thou didst lcavo mo, How they steal around mo now; 'Til tho sunlight of their mcm'ry Flushes my check and brow! And, again, I feel theo near mo Whon thc starlight gems tho sky, And, again, I fondly bid theo A sad; n long good-bye. SIMON STRINGENT. Mr. Stringent was sixty years old-very old, I should have called him, when I was a ohild. Ile was {'brought up" in a thrifty, coouotuioal way. His father was a small, snug farmer; but as his wants were but few, ho was called "well to do in the world," which I suppose means "well to do for this world." His children received a fair edu cation, and were ulwnys among 'he best scholar*. No better cows and no better sheep wore owned in these pruts than those owned by Mr. Stringent, lits maxim was "to keep what you have, and get all that you can." Thia maxim he inculcated most faithfully into tho minds of his children. Io process of time old Stringent died, and, fortunately, auoh men carry nothing with them. Tho children xvoyt up and wero scattered abroad, and I have nothing to say about them, except that they were all keen to gain this world, lam to speak of tho youugest son, Simon, who took the "old placo," that is tito farm, Ofireciiig to pay off his brothers and sisters their shares ns fast as ho could carn it. Aud now Simon in his youth was mar ried, and settled nt ' Craig's Valley," as tho farm was called. Ho had to support him self and his family, and yearly to pay a good round sum towards his debt. Early and lato he toiled. Carefully and aniously ho saved everything possible. His ox pcusos were thc lowest possible; everything wont to "tho debt." And if there was anything Simon dreaded moro than another, it was a call for charity, or, as he termed it, "the everlasting contribution box." The annimmt uncut that a collection would bo tnado next Sabbath would inva riably make him unwell and unr.blo to attend chapel. Indeed, so delicate was his constitution, that once in a while, when he has boon caught, ho was sure to have thc nose-bleed, and be compelled to {;o out before thc box roached him. But years passed on, and his habits grew feeble, until at tho end of fifteen years, Iso had paid oil every debt, and owned a largo farm free from nearly every inoumbrunoo. Hut now a new chapter of his lifo was tc bo experienced. There was an outpouring of tho Holy Spirit upon thc people. Very many rejoiced in tho hopo of lifo eternal, Several of the children of Simon were among tho new-born children of light Simon was tho last to become interested He was tho last to feel his sin; and hi Struggled and resisted a long, long time before he yielded to thc demands and con ditions of (.Mnist. Thou ho was very slov to taite up thc crosses, us they lay in hi' path. He was afraid to commit himself lie was slow to erect tho altar of prayer ii Iiis house. Ho was slow to confess Chris boforc tho world. But he battles all titos? difficulties and overcame them, because In really had Christian principles in his soul But now ho met a difficulty which seemci insurmountable, unexpected, and very try ing. He found that now his brethren am his Bible took it for granted that ho wouh be liberal. How could he, who hod neve given away a shilling a year, bo expected li give tens and even hundreds? How hart to understand tho Christian fno't-tba "none of us liveth to himself," that a-man' first duty is to provide for his family; ant conscience toll him that he had been dein; nothing else all his life. Ho tried to satisf himself that "Charity begins at home;' and conscience told him that bo wanted i stop there also. When he road his Bible lie seemed as ii ho was always stuinblin; upon such texts aa "Freely ye havo io> ceived, freely givo." Ono day ho sat a loni timo motionless, trying to convinco hitiisol that ho had not received much. "Whv what little I have, I camed myself by har labor. Pray, what havo I received?" an' then conscience would begin her whisper; "Why, Simon Stringent, you received good constitution-you were never sick day in your life." "That is true." "And you received a shrewd mind; yo know how to manage and maleo monej And you received a great deal of sunshine and a great many rains on your farm, and great increase of your cattlo nnd Hock; and you have received a large, health family, no deaths in it, and you have re ceived many years of life already, and hop for more; and you havo received tho Sab and ito bath blessings; and you have, ns yo hope, received everything, it has been nod ing but receiving and now you must give! Oh Simon] how hard you breathe! Ho thc perspiration stand on your brow! Ila ho been dreaming or had tho Spirit ol Oo boen teaching him? Tho nwt day, Simon or, nil ho was no called, Mr. Stringent, heard .a loud an tender appeal from tho missionary fielt And now n collection was to bc made-ni in tho chapel, wherO every mair OOUl dodge or conceal his pa rei mo ny, but by ri open subscription, black nnd white. Th collector was lo come around at one? Thou it waa that tho dialogue which is said to havo token plaoo between Mr. Stringent and tho dovil, occurred. "How much must I give?" said Mr. Stringent. "As litt'e aa you can, and bo respecta ble/' said tho devil. "I om very far from hoing rich," said Stringent. "You aro tito riohest mau in thoohurch," said conscience. "Supposo I givo livo dollars?" "Fully enough," euid tho (emptor. "Freely yo havo received, i'reoly give," said conscience. "llomembor your groat family, their schooling and clothing, and tho furniture and tho now carriago which you ncod," said tho tempter. "I shall put down ten dollars/' said Stringent. "You aro besido yourself! NY hy thoy will oxpcot you to do in like proportion for everything hereafter. 'Ibero's no end to these calls," said tho tempter. "I sholl put down twenty dollars," said Stringent. "Yes, but do consider," said tho tempter, "you know your oats aro very light, nod they sell by weight, and not by tho bushel, as they onco did, and tho drought hos in jured your grass, nod your fruit will bo next to nothing." ..Yes," said conscience, "but your corn is magnificent, und PO (tro your potatoes; and if hay is light, tho price is certainly heavy; ?nd yonr workmen never corned aa mush as they do this year; and tho ?hips mont of timber which had been growing long before you were born, has brought an enormous price." fl shall pul down fifty dollars!" "O Mr. Stringent! Mr, Stringent!" you aro nearly crazy, to throw away money so! NV hy, sir, with that SUM? you could buy two young cow*, or ten first rate-" "Get out-get out, you tempter of my soul? I shall put down one hundred dol lars this time, and if you dou't let mc alone, I declare 1 will double it!'' And Mr, Stringent did put it down; and ho felt so much better, and grow so strong under it, that it was well understood be tween him and tho devil, over after, that il he wog tempted he would double his chari ties. And so well did ho abido by it, thal he became ono of thc most liberal men ol thc community. And when ho went round to collect for oh ari ties, as ho often did, thc most liberal man always being tho bejt col lector, and when his brethren would mak( excuses, bc would shake his head, and say "1 only wish you could have such dialogue? with tho devil as I havo had!"

Wo do not know who wroto it, and here it is: Young man, if you contemplate a business career, yan cannot look after your habits too carefully. Your aim in lifo is to be successful in nil undertakings and you can never bc successful with had habits. Mut ters which seem of small moment to you now, may become in future tho turning point in your career, either up or down, as they have that of ninny a man before you. In illustration of this wo print the follow inf; anecdote an related in ono of thc most prominent New York dailies: Horace 1$. Cloflin, tho most prominent and wealthy dry goods merchants of New York, was alone in his office one afternoon when a young man, pale and careworn, timidly knocked and entered. *'Mr. Chili n," said he, ,:l bavo been unable to meet certain payments booauso parties failed to do by mc ns they agreed to do, and I would like to have 810,000. I como to you bocnUSO you have been a friend to my father and might he a friend to me." "Como in," said ?llfliil, ''Conic i'i and bavo a glass of wine." "No," said the yoting mau, " I don't drink." "Have a oi?;ai', then?" "No-?. never smoke." "Well," said tho joker, "I would liko to accommodate yon, but I don't think lean." "Very well," said thc young mun as ho Wdft about to leave tho room. "1 thought perhaps you might--Good-day, sir." "Hold on," said Mr. Clnflin. ?'Yon don't drink?" "No."' uNor smoko, nor gamble, nor anything of thc kind'/" "No sir!" "Wei!;" said Claflio, with tears ia Iiis oyes, "you sholl havo it and tinco timos tho amount if you wish. Your father lot mo havo $5,000 onco and asked mo tho satno question. No thanks-I owo it to you for your father's Boko," THE SKOULAU PKESB.-T-TIIO HOV. J. M. Shorwood boforo tho Brooklyn Presbytery last wcok paid tho following tributo to tho secular press: It is well to boar in mind that tho reli gious weekly is no longer tho solo or chief paper that is read by miuistcrs nnd church members. Tho daily secular pioss hos in vaded tho fi old, and is already omnipresent, and almost supremo as an educational power, not only in the Stato, but iu tlio ohurch, and, for tho most part, it is charac terized by greater enterprise and independ ence, greater breadth of view and freedom of criticism in every department of thought and lifo thou wo lind in our ohuroh jour nals. Houco tho religious weekly of to day -os ovory man of discernment and broad observation knows-is not tho power it onco was; its opinions have little woighl; its policy and principles scarcely affeot tho roligious thought and lifo of to day, whilo tho daily secular press is fast toking its place, and gaining tho oars and hearts of tho people, and making its way into every household every day of thc week, not ex cepting oven thc Sabbath; full of informa tion, ready in discussion, fearless, almost unbridled in criticism, reviewing every current question and phoso of life, secular, social, political and religious, thereby edu cating and controlling tho groot world by its potent forces, and imperiling tho very j cxistcuoo of our comparatively fecblo aud shackled religious weeklies. This chango is as mnrvclous as it is suddcu. It was cosy to philosophise upon tho causes which have produced it, but it is impossible to forecast, the effects of it on tho religious sentiments and character of tho next gone? ration. Tho faot, however, suggests trc mcudous possibilities." A Georgian who sought Paradise in Texas and hus realized his mistake, writes to know if money cannot bo raised to bring himself and Eomo of his fellow Bufferers back to their old homes. Ho says thou Bands have been "fooled into Tevaa" by thc misreprcsontations of railrord agents nnd land speculators, and that thousands arc anxious to return. They have not found "the poor man's Paradise" and thc "homes for thc homeless" so graphically described to them, and tell a pitiful story of injustice and extortion. They allege that thc lines in Texas arc so hard that, even thc nem'o emigrants arc quitting in disgust and join lng tho noble army of colored tramps bound for bleeding Kansas. The picture is doubt less overdrawn, but tho fact remains that many foolish Georgians and Carolinians, who expected to lind a hind of promise in Tex is, have boca bitterly disappointed, and would bo glad lo como back if they were able to do so. Any honest and industrious man can make moro money nnd live with moro comfort in Georgia and the Carolinas than in Texas, and if ho catches the Texas fever ho will hare cause to regret when it is too late to remedy his folly. "Do you understand the nature and solem nity of an oath?" tho judge of Vandalia ask nd a witness who had como up iron! tho lower end of thc Stale. "Well, yes," tho witness replied, a ler some study; "I icoko:: I know tho natur' of an O'JIII, but there never a pp oared to bc no powerful amount of solemness about swearin' lo inc.

MISSIONARIES NEEDED -A correspon dent of ibo ArciC? and Courier, writing from Midge, in Kdgclie?d County, says: " Missionaries are badly needed at IVIL?O lleld C. II.

Thc boy replied, "I ?ness it will be a tight squeeze-tho Pope has tho most money, but thc devil haB thc most lawyers." Thc Hon.
