THE 8PBING JOTTHHEY.
O, green the corn a* I rode on my way,
And bright were the dew* on the blossoms of May,
Ami ffiw the sycamore's shade to behold.
And the oak'e tender leaf was of em'raid and gold.
The thrush from his holly, the lark from his cloud
Their chorus of rapture "sun j jovial and loud ;
From the eoft vernal sky to the soft grassy ground
There was beauty above me, beneath and around.
The mild southern breeze brought a shower from
the hill.
And yet* though it left me all dripping and chill,
I felt a new pleasure as onward T aped.
To gaae whore the rainbow gleamed broad overhead.
O. each bo life's journey, and such he onr skill
To low in its blessings the sense of its ill;
Through sunshine and shower may our progress
be even,
And oar tears add a charm to the prospect ol
Heaven t

a filiation with Northern whig*, who are either
for a repeal of the fugitive slave law or
pronounce the repeal of the Missouri comprouiisea
gross outrage, to agitate for the formation
of a new Souuiem party, based upon
a refusal to affiliate in any way whatever with
any man or party whatever, tinctured remotely
or directly with frecsoilism. They allege

cratic party aids, abets, and sustains to a certain
extent the democratic freesoilers, 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 that tlicy will wash their
1" hands clear of all such associations. Above
we present the point upon which the uew
party is to go before the country. The end of
their movement cannot vet be foreseen, I
through its success can hardly fail to l>?!
very much in the proportion in which North-1

cause of the repeal of the fugitive slave law.

Ma. Everett on Slavery.?The Utica
(N. Y.) Daily Observer quotes the following
extract from a speech dilivercd by Edward
Everett in the ltouse of Representatives
in 1827. The New Haven Register expresses
the hope that the political clergymen of
New England may read it carefully :
"Sir 1 am no soldier. My habiLs and Education
are very unmiiitnry; but there is no
cause to which I would sooner buckle a knap- \
sack on my back and put a musket on my j
shoulder, than that of putting down a ser- j
vile inscrreetion at the South. The great re-;
.' latiou of servitude, in some form or other,
I with greater or less departure from the the|
orotic equality of men is inseparable from
our nature. Domestic slavery is not, in my
i judgment, to be set down as an immoral or
? irreligious relation. No sir ; the New Testa
nu-nt says: 'Slaves obey your masters.' I ,
cannot aumu iii.ii its uuues arc nut pre-sup-1
posed and sanctioned l>v religion. I know
of 110 way by which this form of servitude j
1 can bo fi\e 1 but by political ii s i ution."
At the great celebration at Plymouth |
1 Rock last summer, Mr. Yeadon, of South ;
Carolina, in the course of his speech, referred !
' to tlie foregoing statement in the presence of j
' Mr. Everett and the company present.' Mr. j
; Everett seemed pleased with the reference,
j while a few abolitionists hissed. Wo have
i this from Mr. Yeadon himself.
The Slavery Discission in the Senate.
?The intelligent Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal of Commerce
1 remarks in relation to the recent slaverv .li*
< cussion in the Senate :
" More temper has been exhibited in this
: than in any former of the six months' dis
cussions of the slavery question. It appears,
1 now, that the slavery question is the only
one that is ever again to engross the atten|
tion of Congress. They van attend to no
other business, while they have a chance to
! make exciting harangues on this all engross,
ing topic.
, " The speeches to-day were of a very radical
character, leading directly to declarations
I about the dissolution of the Union. It will
j l>e no fault of Congnf-s if the Union be not
dissolved. They meet and act, and speak
only with a view toward that as a main object.
There was never a time before in our!
history when Congress was evidently so entirely
determined to involve the country in a I
; merely sectional dispute,
44 I couid not help noticing to-day in the
; Senate Chamber, while the slave discussion
was going on, in the worst taste, as well as i
the worst feeling, how some discreet and ex-1

A Little Child among Lunatics.
: A day or two ago, a gentleman whose of- j
cial duties required him to visit a large asy-j
' lum near this city devoted to the indigent!
j insane, took- with him a little hoy some three ;
years ohl, and it was an interesting study to I
watch the effect which the presence of the j
young visitor produced among the lunatics ]
of every grade. An unusual degree of quiet j
and order prevailed in every hall, and touching
manifestations of the softening and sub-'
d-.iing influence of child hood were exhibited
by those who were ordinarily most intractable.
This was particularly the case with
those who had p.isscd the season of youth.
| One man, incurably insane, approached the
little hoy with a countenance for the moment
full of gentleness, and kindness, and with a 1
ountenance for the moment- full of gentle- \
n jss, and kindness, and with a polite gesture j
handed hiin a straw, being all that he had
I to give?and showed great satisfaction when |
i it was accepted and borne as if it hod been '
j value. Almost, all approached and shook !
| hands with the infant, and so mild was their
| hearing that he did not for a moment heai
i late, and although abashed at what wns to
i I him an unusual erowd- ho
r ? J ?w W..vvi?waij J $Kii%4Xs\M
. hift little hand totluir carets. But the most
interesting scene was in the women's apartment.
They were ready to devour the child
with their carosssess, and yet when they obr
served that their crowding and volubility an-1
, noyed him, instinctively drew back little and
, modulated their voices to tones of tenderness,
to which many of them had lopgbeen strangers.
One of the women, herself a mother,
i enquired with tearful eyes?" Dear little felt
low, is his mother living And affirmative
i reply seemed to relieve her apprehensions,
y and her expression of interest assumed a more
e cheerful tone. The most violent, closely coni,
lined in cells, watched every movement of
t the boy with intense interest?which insanit
ty in its worst form had not eradicted?some
{ begging permission to embrace him. The
- scene was calculated to deepen the sympathy
- felt for tho most unfortunate class who were
i the object of the visit, and to show lw>w
> strongly the society of children is calcdtajtod
e to win back to gentleness those who, from
any cause, have pawed that indefinable line
f __ 'vSrZwME'
- * - which
separates the same from the inaan*.
Such soothing effects are of course transient,
but it was something to obtain for those poor
vexed souls even a moment of calm delight.

The re-union of parents and children in
Heaven, as well as ot other friends, is a cheering
and delightful thought. And the idea
that our departed friends may sometimes be
near us, or wait to welcome U6 on tho boraefeof
the spirit land, is well suited to impress
the mind.
A little girl in a family of my acquaintance?a
lovely and procious child?lost her
mothor at an jgo too early to fix the loved
features in hcFVeniembrnnce. She was as
frail as beautiful; and as the bud of her
heart unfolded, it seemed as if won by that
mother's prayers to turn instinctively heaven- \
ward. The sweet, conscientious and prayerloving
child was tho cherished one of the i
bereaved family. She would lie upon the j
lap of her friend, who took a mother's kind
aire of her, and winding one wasted arm;
around her neck, would say. " Now tell me ]
about my mamma!" And when the ofttold
talc had been repeated, sbo would ask
softly, M take inc into the parlor, I want to
see my mamma." The request was never
refused, and the afiV-otionate child would lie
for hours contentedly gazing on her mother,s
portrait. But?
Palo and wan she grew, and weakly.
Hearing all her pain so meekly,
Unit to them &he still grew dearer.
As the trial hour grew nearer.
The hour camo at hist, and weeping
neighbors assembled to see the child die.?
The dew of death was already on the flower
as tho life sun was going down. The little
chest heaved faintly?spasmodically.
" Do you know me, darling f" sobbed
close to her ear tho voice that was dearest
but it awoke no answer.
All at oneo a brightness, as if from the
I I I . .1 - I 'I ? 1 >
upper ?<>riu, uurst over me cimu s coioriess j
countenance. The eyelids flashed open, the
lips parted, the wan cuddling hands flew up,
iu the little one's last impulsive ellbrt, as she
looked piercingly into the far above.
44 Mother!" she cried, with suprise and
transport in her tone ; and with that breath
into her mother's bosom she passed.
Suicide of a Boy.?The Louisville Journal
relates the tacts concerning the suicide
of a lad of thirteen years, named Henry Merriinau,
ten miles from that city:
"This is one of the most mysterious as
well as one of the most extraordinary cases
of suicide ever committed in this country.?
Henry was a devout Christian. lie had lost
a little sister who belonged to the church.
This sister had given him a prayer-book on
her death-bed. and desired liiin to use it.?
lie had become so interested in the book,
and on the subject of meeting with a dear
sister, that it was a subject of dailey conversation
and prayer with him. His mother
had told him that he would meet his sister
in heaven after death, lie prayed nighllv
and daily to see her, and iu his fit of religious
insanity, he upon his kneese, cut his
throat froin ear to ear, severing both jugular
veins. This was truly a sorryful sight to
l?Kik upon?a heart broken mother, ofHictcd
father, and distressed relatives?this was a
scene to dissolve a heart of stone. Everyone
present was in tears; every man became
as it were a child. The verdict of the Jury
was, that the child came to his death from
the influence of the above facts, causing religious
insanity.

degenerate into brutes. This observation
applies with tenfold force to young men.
and those who are in the prime of manhood.
For, after a certain time of lite, the literary
man makes a shift?a poor one, I grant?to
do without the society of Indies. Toayoung
man nothing is so important as a spirit of
devotion?next to his Creator?to some
amiable woman, whose image may occupy
his heart and guard it from pollution that
besets it on all sides. A man ought to
choose his wife, as Mrs. Primrose did her
wedding gown, for qualties that will "wear
we!!." One thing nt least is true: that if'
matrimony lias its cares, celibacy has no
pleasures. A Newton, or mere scholar, may
find enjoyment in study ; but a man must
have a bosom friend and children around
him, to cherish and support the dreariness
of old age.?John Randolph.
Tunneling Chicago Riveu.?A committee
of the Chicago councils have resolved to
accept the plan tor tunneling Chicago river
as proposed by the American Sub-Marine
Tunnel Company, of New York. It is to be
finished by .May 1st, 1855, made of cast
iron ; entrances on a grade not exceeding1
one foot fall in nine. Tho plan to bo two
wagon ttacks, each ton feet wide, and two
foot ways, each four feet wide, the former

twelve feet below low water mark for 160
feet in the centre of the river.

Give hig^Auu?An Indian, who
heard a sermon in a Christian settlement,
was much moved by the claim
that lie should give up all to Ood.?
The duty pressed upon his heart; he
returned to his wigwam ;he meditated
much upon it; anu at length solemnly
resolved to do what God required.?
First lie took his rifle and 6et it apart
for the Lord ; then his scanty furniture;
then his blanket?repeating as '
he set apart each article, "Here, Lord, 1
take that," Finding himself utterly
destitute, having given up all, he yet
felt that lie was forsaken of God, and
was in great distress. The darkness
of despair came over him. In this his
last extremity, ho laid himself upon
the niter, saying, "Here, Lord, take a
poor Indian." The offering was ac- 1
eeptod ; and there, alone, bereft of hu J
man help or hope, this poor despised
savasre was delivered from the newer <
u
of sin, and made an heir of glory.? ]
lie soon learned to read, and was sup- ]
plied with a Bible, which he made his .
daily companion ; he was happy in sol- '
itude, or with Christian friends to
whom he often remarked, that when he
gave himself to the Lord, the Lord ,
gavo him "all things," for the life that
now is, and that which is to come.?

Forbkaranck.?A dispute arose in
a coffee house between Sir Walter ltalcigh
and a young man in some trival
point, and the latter loosing his temper,
impertinently spat in tlie face of
the veteran. Sir Walter, instead of:
running him through the body, as
many would have done, or challen-1
ging to mortal combat, coolly took out
tiis handkerchief, wiped his face, and j
said: 'Young man if you could as easily
wipe from my conscience the stain ;
of killing you, as I can this spittle from j
face, you should not live another min-M
ute*' The younjr man had his trood!
qualities, and he immediately begged
Sir Walter's pardon.
.Toy in Heaven.?Listen to the heavenly
choirs. What means their fresh J
outburst of praise? What wouderous
event has called forth a new song, and I'
given new joy throughout the glorious
host? It is the convention of one pen
itent sinner. One penitent sinner has
given his heart to the Savior. And \
who is it? Has he worldly rank, or
power, or greatness ? Or is he poor
and humble and disregarded ? No
matter who or what he is. lie is a
penitent sinner, and loves the Savior.
He may be among the great or a
mnng the lowly, among the aged, a
mong the youngest; aye, even one of
you, dear children, may cause this
shout of rejoiceing throughout heaven.
And now bear in mind what you may
and must do?give your heart to the
Savior; and never forget the precious 1
verse "Joy shall be in heaven over one
sinner that repenteth."?Am Mes.
If there is one thing more than another
which we woulu teach a child, it
would be a love of truth. All other
things would lie worthless without that

beholder may admire a fabric of general
beauty and symmetry, but when
the seam of falsehood is found running
from cap stone to base, he will shun the
dangerous presence. There are few
things more painful, experienced in
our intercourse with men, than to feel
that they are unworthy of our confidence?that
they are not what they
seem?that they will betray while they
smile?that wo tread upon a crater's
crest whore all is hollow beneath.
Teach the child to tell the truth?to
venerate ami love it. Teach liirn so that,
whatever wrong he may commit, he
will frankly and promptly admit it all.
Reward the honest speech. Washington's
father was never prouder of his
l>oy than when he acknowledged his
falsehood.
Maxbimootat..?The fact is revealed
ovine late uritisn uonsus, of 1851, that
of 290,000 woman under the ape of 45,
in one of the ten divisions* only 170,
000 were wives?the 120,000 remaining
bring widows or spinsters; and
from 18-41 to 1851, only ten children
were born to every 58 woman under
46 years. Of 67,609 households, 41,
916 only were families under husbands
and wives, 10,854 were under widows
or widorwers, and 14,899 were under
spinsters or bachelors. English writers
charge these moot unpleasantly
suggestive facts to the restriction on
fowl and commerce that have existed.
With their removal it is presumed that
ft now order of things has been commenced;
and they point to the returns
for tho last two or three years to
evidence the assertions that the number
of marriages now increase every
quarter.
Truth is always ablo to support itself,
when left free to act.
