Rousing from deep stupor. the mother looked
about the room until her eyes rested upon the lit
tie twin sisters who stood weeping at the foot OF
her bed. Come here, my dear children" said
she family. They went, and took her cold ex'
tended hand, and covered its clammy surface
with kisses, when she exclaimed, 4" How preci-
Gus, o God, are thy promises! To thee have
these been dedcated; o take them into thy holy
Keeping, and shall die contented." After
short pause, she resumed: Children, ALL am
now going from you; do be faithful unto God,
and he will not forsake you. When your mother
is dead, love each other tenderly, and remember
the words | have said unto you. have nothing
TO leave you but poverty, and mothers bles-
sing. Take care of your father. and treat him
kindly. But, above all, love God, and keep his
commandments. And now farewell" She then
expressed desire to see her husband-a wish
that could not be qualification he was drunk. -
She now relapsed into stupor; from which she
never recovered. An aged minister present was
requested to pray. and the old man kneeled down
beside the death bed, and breahed forth fer.
vent. consolng prayer. The tremulous tones Of
his voice seem still sounding in my ears. Well
do remember his wrinKled cheek, his thinwh
tened locks He closed his eyes, extended his
hands, and led the devotion with overwhelming
pathos. All had kneeled, and his applications
found response 10 all our hearts.
When the voice of prayer had ceased,
"We stood alone. the living with the dead;
The ruddy embers glimmerins round the room,
Displa, ed the corse amid the solemn gloom,
But DER the scene holy calm reposed,-
The este of heaven had opened there and closed"

THE Revenue. understand that the amount
Of duties secured at the Custom House in this
city for the first quarter Of the current year, was
abaut SIS. 800 600, and that since the present
law went into operation, the monthly amount
here has been about one million Of dollars. So
that il the importations which have taken place
since the 18th Of March shall prove fair average,
the receipts in New York for year from that
time will be twelve millions Of dollars
From these principles it would appear that
lowering duties does not necessarily decrease the
revenue. We have no exact data by which 20
ascertain the fact, but presume there can be little
doubt that, when it is considered that tea and
coffee now come in duty free. az we'll as many
other articles, the increase Of importation has
been considerable in some species Of merchandise,
otherwise the duties could not amount to mil
lion of dollars per month.-N =. Mer.
