VENERATIONF FOR WASHINGTON

VENERATION FOR WASHINGTON.
I We cannot forbear mentioning an incident,
tstrikingly displaying the deep veneration and
regard Of the American people for the name
and the memory Of the FATHER OF HIS Cou.-
ITay, which occurred at tho celebration here on
the 4th inst. A gentleman, who had just ris-
len, we presume, from perusal Of the details
Of the splendid victory of Gen. Houston, at
San Jacmto, and was exulting al the prospect.
i've triumph Of liberty in Texas, proposed as a
| toast:
sSAMI. HousToN-T The Washington Of Texas
The table, which had been tolerably bolster
GUS before, was hushed in an instant, and for
moment solemn silence prevailed, then eve,
Try breast appeared to vent its deep feeling in
cries Of .'No, not" s'No, nos srrhat will
not do!' ssThat will not do!'' We were new
er more gratifed, and never felt SO certain that
the memory Of the great and good men who
bore our country safely through the storm Of
the revolution, was still cherished in the Aearts
Of the American people, as a. witnessing that
spontaneous burst Of feeling from large COM
|pany Of citizens collected from every quarter
of our widespread country. -
LADIES IN "REMINISCENCES FOR
BACHELORS.
We learn from the Martinsburg Gazette,
that a large stock Of single ladies has accumu-
lated at that place. through the want Of gal
lanfry in the gentlemen, as we suppose, for
the paper says, al the bachelors can find part
ners by locon.oting' thithcr. We thank Brother
HuNTER for his kind invitation, but would In
form him that we entertain no SUI CHI idea as
slocomotingg' to Martinsburg, Va. for the purpose
Of hunting one of the slastbcst gifts But as
this is Bissextile year, we thought there could
be no great improperly in inviting the eastern

Perhaps you are ready 10 say, now tell US
about your own heart, and how you feel
when separated from friends, kindred, and
native land, by distant seas, which are new

degradation and mental wretchedness ofthe

glorles OF heaven, and the parting command

INFLUENCE OF Mothers PRAYERS


INFLUENCE OF A MoTHER's PRAYERS.
Dear Sister--Permit me to express the
high satisfaction which filled my heart on
learning that there was to be such work
as the Mothers Monthly Journal" pub
lished, for the mutual benefit Of both pa
rents and children. This pleasure was
much increased when the first number
fell into my hands, although in a land of
strangers, some twelve hundred miles
from the place Of publication; which as
sured me, by the taste talent and piety,
manifested in the different productions
which it contained, that it would be Of cs-
sential use to the tender mother and the
aged matron, in directing or confirming
their course in training the young unItr
their care fer future usefulness.
1t is with deep gratitude TO God that
many, rcry m0n", instances are rccoiItct-
ed, in which the pivty and IrayeTs Of my
venerable mot|cr acted st3scnably and
probably upon my mind in the days of
childhood and youth, amidst scenes Ct van
ity and gaietv, and served to check my
volatile spirit in its wild career. Memo
ory loves to linger still about the door of
a bedroom which was occupied fifty
years ago by my mother, at a certain hour
in the day. Although a very industrious
Iaboring woman, she would pass into that
room, and the light before the door ouid
be darkcned Ivy her clothes as size kneit
in PRAYER and after time she would re-
turn, giving evidence that she haG been
weeping, yet with such a heavenly coun-
/ tenance and cheerful air, that even then
my childish mind was impressed with the
| thought that she had hccn there TO pray,
and that praying people 1ccre the happl-
! est people IN Tie uorlt; a sentiment which
the experience Of half a century has not
ocCasloned me 10 change.
1t will give me great pleasure, if, in
some future number | may record a few
very important facts, in which the inhu
ence of a mother contributed toward those
changes which have affected my own
state, and my personal influence upon So
cietv around me, more than any other
events with which have ever been affect
ed.
Let the great object of this publication
ever be to encourage plety in parents, anc
perseverance III Praycr-cl0set prayer, anc
DAILY CLOSET PRAYER; in which the
future destiny Of the whole family, anc
especially the happiness of the children
will be more improved than by every 9th
er use Of time within their power beside.
Yours, with much respect, in the gos
pei, ALFRED BENNETT.

TEMPERANCE.
From the N. Y. Evangelist

Continued.

Ont1nNeI.
p. Recommends to the executive
committee Of the American Temperance
Union, to consider the expediency Of send.
ING a delegation to all parts Of our coun-
try, and also to foreign countries, to con-
fer with the friends of temperance with
regard to the best means Of promoting this
cause, to collect and diffuse information,
and unite the counse!s and efforts OF all
friends Of temperance in extending its
blessings rmong all people.
%. That as the promotion of this
cause increases the means and taclIltGs
for acquiring property, and augment all
the sources of national wealth, prosperity
and happiness, it is respectfully suggested
to the patriotic of every description, espe-
cially the opuIcEt whether, should they
furnish pecuniary means for the universal
diffusion of information on this subject,
they would not become eminent Y the ben
cfactors of our race.
"a. That as the influence ofwo0laA is
essential TO the promotion ard Pc niunent
prosperity Of every great and good cause;
and as she, aud those whom SIC holds
most dear, have been, and while the use OF
intoxicating liquor as beverage contln-
ues, ever must be, among the greatest sui
ferers from its effects; and as abstinence
from it's use would efectually and forever
prevent these evils, and greatly promote
the interests of her own sex, it Is to be
hoped that she will in all places and at all
times, give to this cause the all-pervadine
and al!-conquering influence Of her own
delicate and lovely example.
Dr. Reese's resolujion-as finally adopted
Resolved, That in maintaining the pro
2riety and necessity of total abstinence
from all that will intoxicate, this conven
ton make no decision as to the grounds o
our united action, because we believe tina
our harmony and efficiency in the grea
cause Of temperance forbids US to contllc
unnecessarily with those who may dIt1e
from US in theory, while we are all unite
| in practice.
! A very harmless resolution.-ED.l

CLOSING RESOLUTION.

As the wisdom of our plans and the
success Of our operations will depend on,
and be the result OF the Divine blessing,
the friends of temperance every where
erequested to seek for this cause the
continuance of the Divine guidance and
favor.
Interesting and able debates occurred on
several of these resolutions. But as our
columns have been often filled with such
debates, we shall in the present instance
content ourselves with giving a descrip-
ton, instead of report of the various dis
cussions, some Of which were very able
and entertaining.

Dear Brother and Sister,-The constant
rolling wheels Of time have borne US on
ward TO the close of another year, and its
accounts are gone up on high, and are re-
gistered to meet US again at the last day.
Our voyage, thus far, has been very pleas
ant and agreeable. The Almighty has cast
around US the mantle Of his salvation, and
we have hid ourselves in his pavilion in
every hour oil trouble. The winds have
been obedient to the Masters will, and the
waves have had their charge concerning US
o that men would praise God for his good
ness. The officers Of the ship are very
kind 70 US, and our time passes pleasantly
away. We have preaching on deck every
