SrR,-Seyeral days past. addressed to you a
letter, asking of you a frank avowafor disavow-
al of scandalous publication in the New York
Courier and Enquirer, Of the 9Th instant, for the
truth of which, the editor referred to several men,
bers of Congress, from the State of which you
are representative. You have refused to com.
ply with the demand, in satisfactory manner,
and by puerile attempt at equivocation. have ar
forded conclusive proof to my mind that you are
one of the members of Congress referred to-
That publication contains statements involving
my honor, as false as they are malicious and un.
provoked. You will, therefore, perceive at once
the impossibiiity Of my resting quietly under
sneh foul imputations, coming from source which

A MOTHERS LOVE.
ny MRS. HEMANs


Hast thou sounded the depths Of yonder sea,
And counted the sands that under il be!
Hast thou measured the height Of heaven above1
Then may'stkhou mete out a mothers love.
Hast thou talked with the blessed Of leading on
To the throne Of God some wandering SOM
Hast thou witnessed the angels bright empIoy'
Then mayst thou speak Of a mothers joy.
Evening and morn hast thou watched the bee
Go forth on her erand ofindustry'
The bee for herself hath gathered and toiled,
But the mothers are all for her child.
Hast thou gone with the traveller, thought afar,
From pole to pole, and from star to star?
Thou hast; but on ocean, earth or sea,
The heart Of a mother has gohe with thee.
There is not grand inspiring thought,
There is not truth by wisdom taught,
There is not feeling pure and high,
That may not be read in mothers eye.
And ever, since earth began, that look
Has been to the wise an open book,
TO win them back from the loss they prize,
10 the hOlier love that edifies.
There are teachings on earth, and sky and air,
The heavens the glory Of God declare:
But louder than voice beneath, above,
lie is heard to speak mothers love.

A SUNDAY FAMILY DINNER, where all
its members, after being separated per-
haps for week, unite under the paren-
tal roof, appears to US one ofthe most de-
lightful circles imaginable. When home
loses ITS attraction, we may rely on it
there is some fault some where; parents
have become unkind or children prodigal;
and when aversion takes place, how
great source Of enjoyment, rs cut off
from the parent-how good privilege is
forfeited by the child; where can we
find welcome like home? 1t is at once
an altar where we worship-a sanctuary
to which we flee. How many tempta-
tions are resisted, when the child thinks
of home, or when the parent thinks of the
child-each is to the other monitor
conscious that the other Is watching his
conduct and his welfare. The Sunday
family dinner appears to us like confess
sional, where each must submit his con-
duct, ask and accord mutual pardon
How rarely is it the case that children
go astray, who are in the practice of ha-
btual intercourse with their families
There is no shield like that which the
endearments of home, ,filal obedience and
fraternal affection interpose between the
youthful and their temptations to save
them from folly and crime. Let the
young therefore, when dishonor would
parley with them, think of home-thins
how they shall render there, before all
they reverence and love, an account OF
their conduct. - Boston Post.
