THE MOTHER.

The cold winds swept the mountain height,
And pathess was the dreary wild,
And mid the cherries hours of night
A mother wandered with her child
As through the drifting snow she pressd
The babe was sleeping on her breast.
And colder still the winds did blow,
And darker hours Of night came on,
And deeper grew the drifts of snow
Her limbs were chill'd-her strength was gone.
Oh God she cried, in accents wild,
vi must perish, save my child
She stript her mantle from her breast,
And barred her bosom to the storm,
And round the child she wrapt the vest,
And smild to think the babe was warm;
With one cold kiss, one tear she shed,
And sank upon snowy bed.
At dawn, a traveller passed by,
And saw her meath a snowy veil
The frost of death wason her eye
Her cheek was cold, and hard, and pale
He moved the robe from off the child;
1t lved-looked up-and sweetly smiled

SORROW.

There is a in the world, that deserves lit
tie pity, and there is sorrow too deep to be
soothed but in the grave. That is the sorrow felt
by her who sees the husband of her early affection
going fast to the drunkard's grave! We can our
friends suffer- we may stand by and witness the
amputation of limb-and we may pity but when.
we see the being that we have loved deliberately
sacrificing both body and soul, to demon that has
slain his thousands, and delights in carnage and
blood, it is this that will that mocks all
consolation. 1t is worm that dies. To
lean on the arm of tottering inebriate-tO sleep
the couch with the startling drunkard, are living,
abiding sorrows that die only with life itself.
And such sorrows poor woman feels and endures
because she cannot die-because she is not consti-
tued to suffer till the attenuated life has spun its
last fibre and the bleeding heart has throbbed its
last

THOUGHTS ON VIEWING THE
FALLS OF NIAGARA

vi INlhpAieh
Iwonder how long you've been roamin'
AT this internal ratel
wonder if all you've been pourin
Could be cyphered on slate
wonder how such hunderin' sounded
When all New York woods
Spose likely some Indians have been drowndcd
When rains have raised your floods.
wonder if wild stags and buffaoes,
Hav'nt stood where now stand
Well 'spose (bein scar first they stub theiroes
wonder where heyd land!
wonder if that rainbow has been shinin
Since sunrise at creation
And this waterfall been undermnin'
With constant scatteraon!
That Moses never mentioned ye I've wonder'd
While other things desclibn';
My conscience how ye must have foamd and thunderd
When deluge was subsidn!
My thoughts are strange, magnificent and deep
When Hook down thee!
o what glorious place for washing sheep,
Niagara would be!
And Oh what tremendous water power
Is wasted DER its edge!
One might furnish all the woods with flour
With "A single privilege!
wonder how many times the lakes have all
Been empted over here
Why Clinton didn't feed the grand canal
Up here, think is queer!
The thoughts very strange that crowd my brain
When looked to thee,
Such thoughts ne'er expect to have again
To all eternity!

WRITTEN in THE SAND.
In merry boyhood there was one
Who shared my youthful heart;
We swore no fortune and no fate
Our destines should part.
But as we twain to manhood grew,
Time broke that golden band,
And proved that mutual oath Of ours
Vas scrittcn tn the Sand.
Youth brought with it gayer dream,-
A fond and loving one
Smiled on me, till loves ties seemed wound
Too fast to be undOne;
Faithful till death we pledged ourselves
With willing heart and hand;
We lived to know that plighted vow
Was ,crittcn in the Sand.

And with devotion essayed
To play his desperate game;

Alas, the promise pursued

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.

We referred in yesterdays Gazette to the evi'
dences which We now see of the interest taken
in the prosperity and success of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal, by the people OF Baltimore
The papers Of that city are warm IN their eH'
pressions in favor of this great work
1t is with pleasure that We draw the attention
of our readers to these facts. 1t may be useiu.
to inform some of them, that the transport trade
which Baltimore has always enjoyed is now cut
off by the Pennsylvania Canals and Railroads,
and goods are now forwarded from Baltimore
to the West ria Philadelphia.
In the present state Of the Company's funds.
il is very desirable that aid should be obtained
from otner sources than those from which the
work has been carried on thus far The City
of Washington has subscribed one million of
dollars, Alexandria and Georgetown each
quarter, and individuals OF the District more
than half million. We need not enquire how
much has the City of Baltimore subscribed and
how much her wealthy citizens? But we may
with propriety enquire, how much will they sub
scribe to work which is of such great impor-
lance to their prosperity as city?

Excessive use ofardent spirits ought to be guar
ded against with scrupulous anxiety, since SIN
gle debauch may result in an attack of Cholera,
and to persons accustomed to or who frequent
ly indulge in this species Of abuse, the attacks
must by necessity prove fatal.
If Notwithstanding the observance OF the
above cautions, diarrhea should occur, immed-
ate recourse must be had to medical assistance;
this last recommendation cannot be too seri-
ously impressed upon all classes OF the puolc.
The cholera, asst appears amongu Is not
epidemic; with few exceptions 1t has CHOSEN It's
victims from among the imprudent, the desu-
tute and the Incorporate, and we have strong
grounds to trust that it will not become so; but
much depends upon the people themselves, ana
they should be made to realize the solemn truth,

those which to great extent they may lndiVi'
