A holy hush pervades my heart with a myste

A sense of rest, as though 'twere wrapped within
aa angel's -winga
.' A deep abiding trustfulness, that seems an ear?
nest given
* Of future happiness and bliss to those who
dwell iu Heaven.
Aud oft times w hen my footsteps stray in error's
shining track, . ? ' ?
There comes a soft restraining voice that seems
- to cali mc back;
-. I bear it not with'outward ears, but with a
power divine.
Its whipper thrills my inmost heart-sweet
mother, is it thine!
It well may be, for know we not that beings all
unseen ." .
Are ever hovering o'er our paths,-the earth and
sky between;
They aro with us in our daily walks, aud tire?
less vigils keep.
To weave those huppy fantasies that bleea.. our
hours of sleep.
Ohl conld we fe?l that spirit eyes forever on us
gaze,
And mark each idle thought that threads the
heart's.bewildering maa?;
Bhpuld we not guard each cureiesa act, all sin?
ful feelings quell.
Lest we should-grieve those cherished ones wo
loved on earth so well!
Sweet spirit n><thei! bless thy child, and with
a holy love
* Inspire my feeble energies and lift my soul
above;
And when the long.imprisoned soul these earth?
ly bunds have riven,
Be thine the wing to bear it up and waft il on
to Heaven."
CENTS IN ABUNDANCE.-For the first
titnc si ice the suspension of specie pay
ir.e'ni> the supply of cents at the Mint
e??e< ds the demand. Though the coinage
of them went on unceasingly, and though
twa tent pieces were made in large mim?
bi rs, the demand, until now, exceeded the
'. Mipplv, and at times the scarcity was such
that articles ne-er dreamed of as currency
?vere often used in our markets. It was
nc unusual thing tor enrrota, onions, turnips
and nj pies to be used in making change.
The scarcity no doubt arose in part from
hoarding .ind speculating in cents; for the
premium on them was often as higb as ten,
and even twelve per cent. Tba scarcity
gave riso to the use of tickets or cheeks
by shop-keepers, and-in some parts of the
city they are yet given aa substitutes.
Tm's need no longer be, for ive learn from
an official source that cent.; can now be ob?
tained at tho M inj by any person who
wants them in exchange for treasury bills.
The '.bree a-eot coinage (new) will be ready
for distribution in -i few days.

much it will please them, and how it will
bind them' to you. But choose well for
them, for the impression mude on their
minds now will last when hills crumble.

of ourselves should make us fear that we
give very little to those who listen to us
