Oh! do not stand so long outside,
Why need you be so shy ?

"MOTHEB, MADE IT."
A few weeks since, while in one of the
beautiful inland cities of Wisconsin, an
incident occurred which awakened in my
mind a train of reflections which possibly
may bo written ar.d read with advantage.
I was hurrying along the street when my
attention was arrested by the appearenco
* of a little boy on the side of the pavement
Belling candy. He was not really beautiful

age, was about nine years; his clothes wnro !
worn and faded, but well patched. Ilis
candy was placed upon a coarse white cot- j
ton cloth, neatly stretched o%*er what had I
been a japanned server. lie was surroiin- !
ded by a small group of boys, evidently be- ,
lonnrimr tn /liffiirent rrrn/lna nf cnni^n
d -'O ? ~ ?7'?*" fc>'.
As I came nearly opposite to hiru the
oft-reiterated ihterlude, 'candy, sir?'fell
upon my ears, and although^>ppose<^to the
excessive use of candy, I stepped aside to '
patronize the light-haired, pale, freckled, i
homespun little representative of trade. I
purchased of him, partly for his encouragement,
but with particular reference to the |
friendship of the little folks of 'the family j
vritb wboin L was a temporary guest.
The candy was as white as the cloth beneath
it, being free from the poisonous
coloring ingredients so extensively used i? 1
the confectionary art. I tasted it, and found
it delicately flavored and very nioe.1"
'My boy,1 said f, 'yoi^r candy ia very good,
let me iia?e a little mora.1
I Immediately saw that ray remark Lad 1
awakened * in Ins young heart emotions 1
which, in themselves, were quite abstract
from the candy trade. His countenance '
beamed with joy as he raised his large '
eyes, sparkling with delight, and observed 1
in reply:
'It ia'good, isn't it! Mother made it.' ?
In the^e few words was embodied an
< ^unconscious exhibition of childhood. Hero
was a spontaneous outburst of filial aftec- 1
tion.. !
Now tbis' incident in itself was trifling,
but .the spirit of this language carried aiy J
mind back through life more than thirty
yearit, and at irragumir intervals bade me r
pause and apply tho sentiment to sorao
item <Sonnected with toy owifrbistory.

Dr. Smith, or Concord, N. II., has put

pastor of t!?e Congregational Ohurolj^
in Salisbury, N. II., which is accompanied
with a confession of his religious faith, both
of which aio in his own handwriting. We !
i

cords of the church in Salisbury, enrolled
among its members, if wo mistake not,!

I believe Jesus Christ to be tiio Son of j
God. The iiiira<;lea which ho wronght <:s- j

declarations, as well when ho declares iiitn- j
elf the Son of God, :is when he declares anv '
i
other proposition. And I boiitvc there is j
110 other svav of salvation than that t!?r'

the merits of Lis atonement.
1 believe that things past, present and to
coine, are all equally present in the mind of j
the Deity ; that with him there is nosucecs- ;
sion of time, nor of ideas; that, therefore,;
the relative terms past, present and future* ;
as used among men, cannot, with strict pro-!

in those doctrines, .".s imposing any fatality j

I believe in llic u'.ter inability of any human
being to work out his own salvation
without the constant aids of the Spirit of

Although I have great respect for some

mode, on the whole, to>jbe prcerable

I believe religion-to be a matter, not of

to give credit to the truth which Ho

^EBSTEE'8 SECOND SPEECH IN REPLY !
TO UAYNE.
Mr. Everett, in liia oration on the accasion
of tho inauguration of tho Webster State,
at Boston, said:
gt^Vell do I recollect tlio occasion anil ;
^fub sccne. It was truly what Wellington i
called tho battle of Waterloo, a conflict of
(iiantR. I passed an hour and a half with
Mr. Webster, and his reqnest, tho evening
before this groat effort; and he went over I
. i
to nu*, from a very concise brief, the main ;
topics of the speech w hich ho had prepared
IV- !.- f II - ?
i>ji uju lonowmg day, do canu anci un- j
impassioucd v.rs tlio memorandum, so entirely
was lie at easo liiineelf, that I was j
tempted to think, absurdly enough, that ho !
was not sufficiently awaro of the magnitude
of this occasion.?lint I soon perceived
that iiis cahnu.T.s was the rnposo of conscious
power, llu was not only at case, |
but sportive and full of anecdote ; r.nJ as |
he told the: Senate, playfully, the next day, |
lie slept soundly that night on the formidable [
assault of Iiis gallant :uul accomplished ad- j
versary. So the great Condo tlept on tlie j
cvo oi the batlie of Koeroijso Alexander j
slept on eve of the balUo t?f Arbela; and
so they awoke to deeds of immortal fame, i
And I saw him in the evening, (if 1 may i
borrow an ilustralion from bis favorite amusement,)
ho was as unconcerned and as j
free of spirit as some here liuve often seen j
liiin while floating in bis fishing boat along '<
hazy shore, gently kicking on Uie tranquil '
tide, dro ping his line hero nud tbor, with !
the varying fortunes of the sport. The nest'
.jiiorniug lie v.ns like some mighty Admiral, i
dark and terrible, casting tlie loikg shadow {
of bis frowning tiers far over the 6ea, that
seemed to sink beneath hintFTiis broad pennant
streaming at the main; tb. stars and
the stripes at the fore, the rnizuen, and the
peak; and bearing down like a tempest upon j
his antagonist, with all his canvass strained i
to the wind, and all his thunders roaring j
from his broadsides.

A Mother's Lovii.=?ftomo ten venrs!
ago a boy was conviutw! of felony, and j
sentenced to a long imprisonment in the j
penitentiary. His poor mother wept when j
site heard tho sentence, and looking tip
teai fully in il.^ face of fhe Judge, she ex- I
claimed pileously : "Won't j'our honor give :
him a shorter term ? He's a good boy to I
me, your honor ; he always w.ns. And I've j
just made him the first good suit of clothes :
he ever had, and tliev fit hitu beautiful : but !
1 if ^ 1 i
if you hejj) him a longtime p^jn, they j
won't fit him at all, .when his gqpd nunc is |
gone ? And then, too your honor, to stay
there so long among reprobates; he'll may ]
he, forget his poor oid~mother's teachings
and be e'en as bad as they." .a
Poor woman ! This son was her all; -Slie
had tric-d to bring him up aright, and in
tho fondness of a mother's love, she had
been saving uenrly all her little earnings
that her darling boy might have clothes as
good as his playmates, and now, alas poor

EXHAUSTION OF TALK.
IIow long tbe lamp of conversation holds
out to burn, between two persons only, is
curiousiy set down in tjio following passages
from Count Goufullionier's account of bis
imprisonment?"Fifteen years I existed
in n dungeon ten feet fq'iiro ! During six
years I bad a companion; during nine I
was alone? I never could rightly distinguish
the face<pf him who shared inv captivity,
in tho eternal twilight of our cell. The
fir.'t year wo talked incessantly together;
we related our past lives?otfr joys for ever
gone?over and over again. The next year
we communicated to each other our thoughts
and ideas on al! subjects. The third year
we bad no ideas to communicate ; we were
beginning to lose the power of reflection.
The fourth, at the interval of a month or
so, wo would open our lips to ask each if
it were possible that llie world went on as
gay, and bustling as when wc formed a portittKof
mankind. T'.io fifth wn were silent.
The tixth bo was taken away?I never
knew where, to execution or liberty. But
I was glad when lie was gone ; even solitude
was better than the pale, vacant face.
One day (it must have been a year or two
after my companion left me) the dungeon
door was opened, whence proceeding I knew
not, the following words wcro uttered ; "Bv
ntili>r nf liis Tmiiniiii
r- y *
(<> you that your wife died a year ago."
..Then the door was shut, and I heard no
more ; the}* had but flung this great agony
upon me, and left me alone with it."
Sheep Ccltcub.?The rearing of sheep
should be encouraged, not oujy for the
value of the llccco, but to supply the markets
of the State with choice mutton and
miro?a healthy and covcted diet. At
present tlierc is a great demand for wool.
The Saluda Factory, near Columbia, owned
hp James G. Gibbcs A: Co., is now engaged
in the manufacture of woolens ; and ?=o plentiful
arc the orders for this description of
goous?belter nnd cheaper than the imported
or domestic articles made beyond our
limits?that they caunot supply them, from
tho want of homo-grown wool. They disseminated
extensively the kuowledge that
they would buy any quantity, but thus far
only about 40,000 pounds bad been ottered.
In this condition of things, and when it is
certain, that other woolen machinery would
bo erected and operated, it behooves the
Legislature to enact 6uch protective laws
will promote wool-growing. Protection is
needed, but that species of protection deuintkicd
by North ren manufactures. All
that is asked is, that a prohibitory law be
enacted in relation to dogs, so that sheep
owncisi may bo protected in their property.
Every district in the Stalo is interested in
this matter, and worthless -curs, kept in
many instances by negroes, should not be
allowed to retard the development of a
branch <$%U6batidry so well able to lift our
mate oiu or dependence on me i\ortli. L<et
