Who does not lore to pausfe nmiJ the
cares and business of life, and, on the wings
of memory, go back through the dim vista
of years to scenes of other days! As the
traveller, weary with journeying over the
andy desert, hails with delight the fair
Oasis; so memory, as she travels over life's
toilsome way, loves the green spots that here
and there meet her gaxe.

Mom Binah. You did not know her
reader, would Uiat you bad! for truly she
was a pattern of excellence, and I fear that
I seldom if ever, shall see her liko again.
She was a native of Africa, and came into ray
grandfather's possession when my father was
but a child. As a faithful servant, she soon
won the confidence of hor owners, fgnd the
esteem of alhwho knew her. To h& 'old
missus,' ray grand tfiother, she was most de
votedlv attached, ant^ after hor death she
always dressed in black. But her turban
was white, and I used tc think that if Mom
Binah had just the least bit of prido, as far
as dress was concerned, it lay in the folds of
her turban. Most of the servants admired
fancy head dresses, and in their estimation a
bright plaid was the neplua ultra, but Mora
Binah was refined in her tastes, nnd therefore
her turban was a white one.
An old woman, then, of medium height,
jetty black complexion, and a pleasant couuteuance,
with just enough melancholy in it
to make its possessor look veuorable, dressed
in black, with a white handkerchief around
her neck, and another very neatly 1 fixed'
upon her head, and some times a white apron
'jistto preserve tho dress'?then, reader,
you have my old nurse as I knew her in yearsgone
by.
Mom Binah was a christian, too. but her's
wm not merely a profession in name; for
while she bad the form of godliness, she possessed
the power also, and she obeyed the
injunction and let her light's/tine.
I well remember, although. I was but a
mere child, how I used to take a seat beside
her on the beach when we were at our Island
home, or at the foot of the lofty pine
when wo were at our summer residence, and
listen to her as she read from the sacred volfflwl
IHVipWJupofftM book, nnd in her
owil tpoculia* and forcible manner, she
would endenrour to impress its important
truths upon my youthful mind. I have
heard men of gigantic mind expound the
i scripture since that time, but her expositions,
for clearness and simplicity, could not be
excelled. Surely the spirit was lier teach
er. /
No prayer meeting upon our own, or
another's plantation was oomplete in respect
I . M T?- 1- . .1
to numDers u mom Dinau was not mere*,
ami when th* missionary ascended the sacred
desk, he pi ways expected to see her in
her accustomed seat. Aad when he broke
the broad of Ife, Mom Binah would feed
upon his wordi and then go forth to gladden
\ the hearts of ithers.
i If there weVj any disputes among the
servants, none cijild settle them sooner or
I better than Moui Binah, and the servant
) who did not trencher with respect was look
ed upon as one wy> had " no manners f'
f When my prepfatory studies were corner
pleted, and I washout to leave the patcrII
nal roof to enter lion my college course,
it then it was a scas<\ of sorrow for Mom
tr Binah, and when sh packed up my trunks,
ft some of the things tilt I first needed were
placed in the very tytom ; while those I
re had least use for enm^first to hand, never
le I was Mora Binah, aa aft herself said 1 ho out I
of of sorts.' But when |e carriage was in
iv waiting?raiK?ads werjp faalnouable

er last '"hra/e?^ien waa Mora Binah's
g- herfwiw Rn(* any one ?hed niore
ieJ than ray mother, that ono was my
fjht\ old nurse.
A'ith * heavy heart I bid adieu to the
1/nca of ray childhood and youth, while
1 ^je tlrougit of return alone occupied iny
.
/ Arriving ai me ena or my journov,
?now sccnosfcd new faces soon helped to drive
J iny gloom Iway, and I commenced my
a\ course of siies with pleasing anticipations
f I and a detonation to exoel. Time flew
p. I by on jd wing". end college life was
ie I then as rer ? ? life of hard study and

indl Ttf6 year wa* drawing to a close, *
not! and f? was the theme of half of the \
ongi ^^pmpositioDS, for vacation was fast |
art-1 Sp^ng.*nd hearts were light, and head"
bid | w Jming holiday pleasures, when an
& is 1 q#1 fetter from home came to hand, c
was I more and vacation wonkl oom- t
| Jut the fetter bade m<i to obtain leave f
tioiis, and the1 freo destroyer' was to scatter1
the flowers of pleasure ere they began to
bloom.
I closed my text-books and hastened roy
departure. True, some of my classmates
laughed at mo for being in such a hurry to
go hope to see my old nurse die, but they
knew her not, or thoy would have thought
differently. t *
On, on I went towards my home one*
more. In gloom I left it, and in sorrow I
was now returning. With pleasing emotions
I had long looked for this return but now
I dreaded it.
' Oh! that a dream, so sweet, so long enjoyed.
Should be so so rudely, cruelly dostroyed.'
Oh ! how the horses lagged upon the
way, at least it seemed so to me. But
home to<u reached at last, having received
and returned tho fond embraces of roy parents,
I enquired for Mom Bioah. She still
lived, but her journey was nearly completed
and she was slowly, but surely passing
away. I hastened to her cabin and as her
glance rested upon me she seemed to revive
again : and thanked God that th.- ?
mitted to see me before she died. And when
I sat beside her bed and read to her from
the Book of Life, its tin earnings alarmed
her not, O 1 surely angels waited for her
there, and longed to bear her to their happy
home.
When the fierce hour arrived, and Mom
Binah 4 st odH trembling on the brink of time,' j
sl?. i,c,- timo Wo,? gnjgjj
and then ihe gave me her
MOg. 1
And then when night had thrown her i
mantle o'er the world, and heavon's lamps ^
were burning brightly, as if to light Mom
Binah's spirit there, she passed from the
scenes cf earth ; crossed the narrow stream
of death, and entered the celestial city.
The morrow was a day of gloom on the
plantatibn, and at night the servants assembled
for the purpose of hearing the lifeless
remains to their last resting place. Lighted
torches gloamod in every direction; for many
came from far ^nd near to attend the
funeral, a thousand voices helped to swell the
funeral dirge, and filled the air with melody.
The missionary then arose to preach the
sermon. He spake in solemn and impressive
language, nor eulogised the dead a
whit too mucin
The services over, the procession took ?p
its line of march for the grave-yard. On,
on thov came row after row, torch after
torch ; truly it was a long procession.
Arrived at the place of burial, they lowered
the coffin in the yawning grave, while
again the requiem for the dead was sung in
solemn strains, and then they left her
where soon we all shall be ; within the cold,
dark, silent grave.
Mom 13innh thou art sleeping now.
Beneath the lofty pine.
And n quiet grave in the old church-yard
Mom ISinol>, now is thine.
?.?. ?ptrffc awMis in the better land,
Where parting is unknown,
And thy dwelling place, Mom Binah, now,
Is around thy Father's throne.
And though parted now, we shall meet again
^ hen life's brief raoe is run,
And our Father s voice <u accents fetud,
Will say to us-?" Well done."
Death of a Daughter or Lafayette.
Mad. Mauborg, the eldest daughter and last
surviving child of the Marquis Lafayette, is
dead. The correspondent of the Newark
Advertiser, writing front Genoa, says : |
oueaiea a tew days ago, aged about 75, at
her princely residence in Turin, whero she
has lived many years, and since the death
of her husband, at one time French Ambas- '
sador to the Holy See, with her daughter, j
the Barroness Perrone, widow of the l*ied- .
montese General killed at the fatal battle of .
Novate in 1840. The Baroness inherits the .
rare virtures of her mother and her race, and
they are likely to be transmitted through 1
tier carefully trained children. Madame M.,
>ften spoke gratefully of her family relations *
with the United States, and delighted in ev~
iry opportunity of bestowing her graceful 8
lospitali ties upon the citizens of the country." ?

shjfttaan, of a beer-cask figure, and a face
asruhcund as if he slept in a room with

of?L<yauthorities showed his contentment
unwf||dL shades of fortune. The Justice,
beilr |Uo in a genial humor, was inclined
to Milertbe disciple of Ben. Franklin, and
acofs&ygly addressed him as follows:
