THE RULERS FAITH.
By Mrs. Siyourncy.


Come and lay thine hand upon her, and she shall
live - Matthew ir. l6.
Death cometh to the chamber Of the sick
The rulers daughter, like the peasants child,
Grows pale as marble Hark, that hollow moan
Which none may help and then the last faint breath
Subsiding with shudder
The loud wall
Bespcaks an idol fallen from the shrine
OF fond fathers heart a wthered Hover
Is there oh mother, where thy proudest hope
Solaccd itself with garands, and beheld
New buildings every morn Father, us DER!
That voice is silent which had been thy harp,
Quickenng thy footsteps nightly towards thy home,
Minging, perchan c, an echo all too deep
Fen with the temple worship, when the soul
Should deal with God alone.
What stranger-step
Breaketh the trance Of gref?-whose radiant brow
In moekness and in majesty doth bend
Beside the bed of death
"she doth but sleep;
The dlmscl is not dead"
A smothered hiss
Contemptuous rises from the wondering band
Who beat the breast and raise the licensed wall
OF Judahs mourning.
Look upon the dead
IIoaves not the winding-sheen Those trembling lids
What peers between their frlnges, like the hue
of dewy violet? The blanched lips dispari,
And then quvering, long drawn sigh restores
Their rose-like beauty. Lo, the clay cold hand
Graspeth the Masters and with sudden spring
That shrouded sleeper, like tmid fawn
Hides in her mothers bosom
Faiths strong root
Was in the parents spirit and its boon
How beautiful!
o mother, who dost gaze
Upon thy daughter, in that deeper sleep
to fltng
To that Redeemer's ear, both when she smiles
In all her glowing beauty on the NORM
And when, at night her clustering tresscs sweep
Her downy pillow, in The trance ofdreams,
Or when at Pleasures reckoning she goes forth,
Or TO the meshes of an earthly love
Yields her young heart--be eloquent for her.
Take no denial, till that gracious hand
Which raised the rulers dead, give life to her
That better life whose wings surmount the tomb

THE WRECK OF THE HOME.


THE WRECK OF THE HOME.
Morn on the waters-not cloud
Is resting in the azure heaven,
And, where the storm in fury bowed,
A halcyon calmness now is given.
On Cardinals wave-washed shore,
The spirit Of Columbia's waters,
Now chaunts mournful requiem Ger
Hercountrys much lov'd sons and daughters.
Nor these alone--for on that bark,
Which rode the waves at yester-even,
Braving the tempest fierce and dark,
In hopes to reach the destined haven,
Were strangers from distant chine
The talented, the generous hearted
The wise and learned of their time,
Who on high career had started.
Ones from the shores of sunny France,
Across the ever-heaving ocean,
Bore o'er that waters wide expanse,
A woman's holy, deep devotion.
That husband fond-that gentle wife,
Whose days on golden pinions glided,
Were "loved and lovely in their life,
And in their death were undivided"
Oh when distinctions angel passed,
Across the oceans troubled bosom,
More fatal than the simoon's blast
To Joy IS bright bud and Hopes fair blossom,
Few were the sad survivors, borne
Across that dark, tempestuous water,
In heartfelt loneliness to mourn
A mothers loss, wife, or daughter.
And here, to one+ dearly loved
My spirit turns to mournfu sadness,
Whose friendship and whose faith were proved
In sorrows hour, and pleasures gladness.
Peace to thy memory! gentle one
He in whose sight the just find favor,
We trust, has early called thee home,
To dwell, forever, with thy Saviour.
How precious to each memory,
The ample and sincere oblation,
From feelings fount of sympathy,
Now gushing forth throughout the nation
And on that rude and dangerous strand,
We seem to hear their funeral dirges,
The requiem of that fatal band,
Entombed beneath the swelling surges.
Oh may that God of sovereign power,
Of every blessing, still, the giver,
Through every dark. desponding hour,
Sustain each lone and sad survivor;
And, bowed beneath his Christening hand,
Whose judgments are in mercy given,
In every trial may they stand
Resigned to HIM who reigns in Heaven.

THE FRUITS OF Coop TILLAaE.--We
remember to have read somewhere, o
an old gentleman who owned large
vineyard. Besides this farm he was
blessed with two daughters. On the
marriage of the eldest, he portioned her
off with one-third ofhis farm, and behold
the remaining acres produced quite as
much fruit and wine as before. Soon
after he married his young daughter and
gave her an equal dowry with the first,
and still the remaining third Of his soil
yielded as much as his entire original
plantation. Good farmers will see no
mystery in this. The moral of the sto-
ry is, that as his farm became smaller, he
cultivated it more, and the same amount
of labor upon few acres, will make it
produce the fruit of many.
There is a great difference between
bad ,illage and good tillage. Some far
mers-no, some earth scrapers, merely
scratch up the the soil, and after drop
ping the seed haphazard, trust to the
chance of the season. tits not wonder
ed at, that such tamperershave to scratch
hard for living. We have heard ma
ny complain that large farms did not pay
the expense of their cutivation-that ma
nure is too expensive to use. The earth
was therefore lazilv scratched up suffi-
cient to destroy the face of the soil, and
the seed thrown away upon il. We
need not say that such farmers have but
little grain to sell, and not much money
in these hard times, to put out at inter-
est.
Take another case, however; that o.
the farmer who makes his farm his pride,
who means to show his labor and skill
upon every acre, and mark the differ
ence. The land pays treble value up
on. its surface for all thai has been be-
slowed upon it. The owner enriches
the soil, and the soil in its turn enriches
its owner.
Every farmer, to make bis farm a
source Of profit, should make it a source
of pride. Whatever portion Of the soil
is cultivated, should be well cultivated.
The point should be, not to have too ma
ny, but rich acres. The means where
BY husbandry is improved. and facilita-
ted. should be studied and employed.
BY such careful attention, a continual
pleasure will be found in agricultural
pursuits, which will heighten the rewards
Of good tillage.--Fa,mers Cabinet.

The release of the 1.-TWO Pollies"

opinion mere prelude to the escape Of
hundreds from the mud and quick-sands

moral is plain one-we hope it will not
be lost.
We commend the proposition touch

TlIE ELECTIoN.

The returns como in slowly. The vote
as far as received, is calculated to in
tpire the Wings with hope for the sue
cess Of Mcssrs. PRENI1ss and ACEE. The
Riverand central counties have given them
overwhelming majorities, and we are RAJ
Their disposed to believe that they are too
far ahead Of their opponents to be beaten,
unless extraordinary efforts have been used
in the Northern and Eastern parts of the
State.
We give below compilation of the vote
Of each comfy heard from, and shall con
tinue 70 do 50 until the final result IS nooor
tanned.
In Ynzoo county no election was held on
the first day appointed by the Governor,
owing to a failure of the Sheriff in receiving
the writ in due time. The second day,
however. we understand respectable
Wing majority was given.
Lawrence and Pike counties are said to
have gone for the Tory candidates by tre-
mendous majorities. In these counties,
the Wings expected nothing, and have not
been disappointed. The opposition have
little TO hope from the counties from which
returns have not been received Some of
them may give the Wings small majorities
but infinitely the greater part will go to
balance the account Of PRENTIss and AcEE
in the South and West Local causes in |
the new counties will exert powerful in
fuence against Mr.. PRENrIss particularly,
who is now the foremost Wing candidate
and in case Of his defeat, the event is to be
ascribed more to the position he occupied
10 the last Legislature thap to the objections
which might be urged to him on account Of
his general politics.
