Affection for a Mother.-The following
beautiful passage as true as it is beautiful, is
from James last novel, The Gipsey.'
around the idea of ones mother, the
mind of a man clings with a fond affection.
1t is the first step thought stamped upon our
infant heart, when yet soft and capable of
receiving the most profound impressions,
and all the after feelings of the world are
more or less light in comparison. do not
know that even in our old age we do not
look back to that feeling as the sweetes, we
have had through life. Our passions and
our wilfulness may lead us far from the OBJ
ject Of our flial loves, we learn to pain her
heart, to oppose her wishes, and to violate
her commands; we may become wild, head
strong, and angry at her counsels or opposi-
ton, but when death has settled her monitory
voice and nothing but calm memory remains
to recapitulate her virtues and good deeds,
affection, like a flower beaten to the ground
by a past storm, raises up her head and
smiles amongst her tears. Round the idea,
as we have said, the mind clings with fond
affection and ever when the earlier period
of our loss forces memory to be silent, fancy
takes the place of remembrance, and twines
the image of the dead parent with a garland
of graces and beauties, and virtues, which
we doubt not that she possessed"

Our Antipodes.-The country of New
7iu:'and is literally in every particular the
antlpodes to the opposite side of the globe.
Thus the north is the hot, and the south is
the cool wind; the westerly the unhealthy,
and the east the salubrious-winter with
them when it is summer with us, and vice
versa. This antithesis is carried out in the
animal and vegetable kingdoms. The
swans there are black; the eagles white
the mole lays eggs and has a ducks bill
the kangaroo has five claws; there is a bird
which has a sort of broom in its mouth
the cod is found in rivers, the perch in the
sea the nettle is a lofty tree, the poplar a
dwarf; the pears are of wood, the cherry
has a pit out side; the fields are fenced in
with mahogany, and the myrtle is burnt for
fuel; the flowers are without perfume, and
the birds without song.-Noah.

least premature in their usual strain the
.adventurer in the connubial scheme should
ascertain that he has drawn a prize, before
he INDUCES himself in self graduation, or
welcome the greeting of his friends. The
analogy is not, however, exact; because it
is the power of the bridal parties to deter.
mine their own fate, in a material degree.
Life itself might be equally styled a lottery,
looking to the diversity of its chances, and
the incertitude of its incidents but it is
nevertheless, a positive blessing with well
constituted minds and healthful frames. So,
likewise is marriage, which shouldbe under.
taken as life is accepted with stronger ex.
pectation of veal than wo but with bright
visions and cheerful resolutions; but also,
with a spirit of philosophical or christian
submission to whatever Providence may
ordain to Its course. The Greeks made
Hymen descend from Apollo, Urania, or
Calliope. This origin from the fountain of
harmony and light and the two mobiles of the
muses., illustrates, or shadows forth the true
character of the espousals over which the
garland god waves his never-dying torch,
and sheds his celestial influence.

From the Albany Commercial Advertise,

BUFFALo.-We have Just c~onversed with
a highly respectable citizen in no way in
terested in that city, who left there since the
Development of Mr.. Rathbun's c~riminality.
He understood distinctly that the citizens of
Buffalo would not be losers through Mr.. RS
failure. On the contrary, these few whose
suspicious had not been previously awaken
ed by the large operations of Mr.. r. but had
incurred any liabilities for him, were fully
protected by the assignment.
The sedate and rejecting portion of the
community were not sorry at the terminal
ton of his speculations. The mechanics
Of that place would now have better chance
making their business profitable than they
had when a large and powerful Influence was
in constant competition withthem. twas
thought thot oil the contracts undertaken by
him, would be completed by the assignees,
in order to protect the interests of the cred
itors.
The regreti is that in this case imprudence
has been followed by crime.
1t is confidently asserted by those who
ought to know, that the prosperity of Buff
ialo does not depend on the contingency Of
one mans success any more, than that o.
New York does on the failure Of houses in
Wall or Pearl Streets. And what is more
they are resolved it shall not be affected,
II is understood that the u. S. Branch a
Erie will loan three millions to Buffalo anc
the new city Bank will discount half q mil
hon without any hesitation.
No serious injury to the money marke'
can therefore be anticipated there. We
wish to put the public on their guard agains
the designs of those, who will seek this OPP
portunity of making fortunes through the
fears of persons interested in the prosperity
of that place. We venture to assert tha
in three months time, the consequences o
the disaster alluded to will not be perceptl
bic in the City of the West.

PIRACY ON THE LAKEs.-We learn by the
Detroit Daily Advertiser, that a suspicious
looking schooner was taken last Saturday
night in the st. Clair river. In consequence
of the conduct of the crew, the Sheriff OF
st. Clair, and q number of citizens, char
tered the Gen. Gratiot, and pursued her.
The Gratiot proceeded as directed, and
when about six miles below the mouth Of
Black River, about 10 o'clock at night, the
vessel was discovered under full sail. On
coming up with her, Capt. Robinson hailed
her in the usual manner, but no satisfactory
response being made, they were ordered by
Sheriff to come alongside, which was done
with reluctance. Upon enquiry it was found
that she had no papers. Process vas then
issued on them by the sheriff, and they were
towed into Black River, where they were
held in custody to await an examination
which was to have taken place yesterday.
Whatever may have been the occupation
or design of these men, it is certain thai
their appearance and that of the vessel was
such as TO create mistrust in the minds o.
those who met them. The Schooner bore
no name, was painted black, with a rec
streak Just above the water-llne, and ap'
peared to be well built for sailing, and ap'
%parently an old vessel. The crew were
generally armed, and the officers wore blue
coats. in uniform with American buttons
but otherwise British trimmings, and al
ornamented with huge mustachios. They
were commanded by n whom they eallec
General Dixson.

K~ENTUcKy.-It will be recollected that
the federal papers in Kentucky claimed
10000 majority for their candidate for
governor, before the election, and declared
that they would surrender the state to Van
Buren,. if they did rot exceed that. Official
returns show some What of a falling off, tho
real majority for go, srnor, being only a few
votes over 5000. T.egovernor went ahead
of his ticket. Their candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor had but a few votes over
1900. If Mr.. Van Buren, does not get the
electoral vote, there is no dependence upon
the judgment Of the wigs themselves.

LOST PRAIRIE, Ark's., 1886.
Mrs. David Crockett,
Dear Madam:-Permit me to introduce
myself to you as n of the acquaintance
of your much respected husband, Colonel
Crockett. With his fate in the fortress of
San Antonio, Texas, you are doubtless long
since advised. With sincere feelings of
sympathy, | regret his untimely loss to your
family and self. For if amongst strangers,
he constituted the most agreeable compan-
ion, he doubtless, to his beloved wife and
children must have been a ~favorite peculiar.
ly priced. In his loss, Freedom has been
deprived of one of her bravest sons, in
whose bosom philanthropy glowed with as
genial warmth as ever animated the heart of
an American citizen. When he fell, q SOL
der died. To bemoan his fate, is to pay q
tribute of grateful respect to Nature-he
seemed to be her son.
The object of this letter, is to beg that you
will accept the watch which accompanies it.
You will doubtless know it when you see it.
And as it has his name engraved on its sur
face, it will no doubt be more acceptable to
you.
AS it will probably be gratifying to you
to learn in what way | became possessed of
it, permit me to state, that, last winter, (thc
precise date not recollected by me- Colonel
Crockett, in company with several other
gentlemen, passed through Lost Prairie, OF
Red River, where | live. The company,
excepting the Colonel, who was a little be-
hind, rode up to my house and asked ac-
commodations for the night. My family
being so situated, from the indisposition OF
my wife, that could not accommodate them,
they got quarters at one of my ~neighbors'
houses. The Colonel visited me the next
day and spent the day with me. He OBJ.
served, whilst here, that his funds were get.
ting short and as a means of recruiting them
he must sell something. He proposed to
me to exchange watches--he priced his a
30 dollars more than mine which sum ! paid
him, and we accordingly exchanged.
With his open frankness, his natural hon.
esty of expression, his perfect want of con.
cealment, | could not but be very much
pleased. And with a hope that it might be
an accommodation to him, | was gratified
at the exchange, as it gave me a keepsake
which would often remind me of an homes
man, q good citizen and a pioneer in the
cause of liberty, amongst his suffering
brethren in Texas.
His military career was short. Blu
though | deeply lament his death, | canno
restrain my American smile at the recollec
Ion or rne ract rhat ne uied as q UnItec
States soldier should die, covered with his
slain enemy, and, even in death presenting
to them in his clenched hands, the weapons
of their destruction.
We hope that the day is not far distant
when his adopted country will be freed from
a savage enemy. and afford to yourself ant
children, a home, rendered in every wa,
comfortable, by the liberal donations of he
government.
Accept, dear madam, for yourself an,
family, the most sincere wishes for you
future happiness, of
Your most obedient
servant and friend,
ISAAC N. JONES.

From the Knickerbocker.
THE YOUNG WIDOW.

Ye bid me mingle in the dance,
And smile among the young and gay
Ye say that grief will dim my glance,
And turn my raven tresses gray;
l care not, yet / strive TO bow
In meekness to my lonely fate
dry my tears and smooth my brow,
The while my heart is desolate.
When last 1 joined the festive throng,
/ heard--it seemed my brain to scar
A stranger breathe the very song
That first HE warbled in my ear.
The words, the tune, but ah! that tone
What living lips could initiate?
Mid laughing crowds l stood, alone,
Unutterably desolate.
I miss him at the evening hearth,
Imiss him at the silent meal,
But keenest in the hour of mirth,
My joyless solitude l feel
But late 1 saw a happy bride
Smile fondly on her welded mate,
While I--oh would that / had died
With him who left me d~esolate.
Ye speak of wealth-in mammon's mart
There's not a single boon l crave;
Gold cannot heal a broken heart,
Nor bride the unreturning grave:
II cannot fill the vacant seat
Where once my honored husband safe,
Nor still my hearts convulsive beat,
MOI make my home less desolatc.
Alas the base on which we build
Hopes fairest fabric, is but air,
And laughs the heart, when God has willed
To lay his Christening finger there.
A brighter, happier dream than mine
Did never love and hope create;
bowed before an EARTHLY shrine,
And HEAVEN has left me desolatc.
And yet not so, my soul be calm
The hand that smiteth will sustain
Thou hast a helper on whose arm
The mourner never leaned in vain.
o! may that arm the pilgrim guide
BY the straight path, and narrow gate,
To where the loved in bliss abide,
And hearts no more are desolate.
