TEE SLEEPING INFANT BOY.

A cherub boy,
OF days enough TO lisp in broken words,
Which all music to mothers ear,
Was fallen asleep. Within few short hours,
The infant boy had sported at the foot
Of his young mother, clambered up her knee,
And casped her neck within his baby arms,
And in her bosom buried up his face
And once from that dear pillow did he lift
His eye to hers, as it TO catch the soul
Oftenderness that beamed there for her child.
And when he saw her deep delight he sighed
Then smiled, and in his childish, sportive mood
He buried up bis face again. went,
With tne broad human current to the spot,
Where now he lay. all still and moioness
He was asleep his lip was gently curled,
And had doubtful impress in its form,
Which made you hesitate to tell, in truth,
If it was Joy grief that made him
1t thus--t was that form Of lip that oft
Was seen, when he had struggled up TO kiss
The cheek of her that bare him, in the way
Of kind atonement for some past offence
His eve was Just half closed-the weary lid
Had fallen thus far, and he seemed TO sleep,
As conscious of his state, ready to wake,
When his pure spirit should be well refreshed,
TO all his baby spoitS-Calmly he lay,
Wrapt in his lucid dress, whose wilderness we'll
Accorded with the paleness of his cheek,
And but for this the fear that he would wake
No more, bad scarcely crossed the mind of one
Who looked upon his fcatures-but alas
They laid him in a narrow building, made
For the deadtwas neat and one might cen have thought
That twas his cradle, but that it close,
And, tho in miniature it yet shaped,
AS mems last dwelling houses always are;
II was his coffin. There GOODNESS
On his brow that met the lip maternal
Priest full often there, which spoke of death.
Still as she gazed upon him in his state
Of mortal loneliness, she almost
His little BISON heave and half expected
He would awake to Lisp the name Of neither;
And strange shuddering thro all her frame
As they closed up the lid above his face
And shut him from her sight forever,
saw them lay him in his infant grave,
And lightly did they cast the dust of earth

ST. LOUIS, (MIssouRI.l JAN. s.

The Office Of Doorkeeper to the
House of Representatives in both Mis-
souri, and Illinois, seems to have been
sought for with equal avidity, at the
commencement of the pending sessions
of those dignified bodies. 10 Missouri
there were at least thirty candidates /; in
Illinois, at least as many, and some say
twice the number. A good anecdote is
related with respect to the successfuf
candidate in the latter State.--I1is friend,
a member of the House, who nominated3
him, urged his claims with vehement
zeal, insisting on his appointment for
a variety of reasons, among which,
the most extraordinary seemed to be,
"that he could squat loser and Jump high.
er, than any man IN all Illinois. These
popular qualifications were decisive, and
the " low squatter and high jumper"
went in triumphantly.
