l SEE THEE STILL.

-"I rocked her in the cradle,
And laid her in the tomb. She was the yOunge'
What Preside circle hath not felt the charm
OF THAT sweet tiel The youngest meier grow OLE
The fond endearments of our earlier days
We keep alive in them; and when they die,
Our youthful joys we bury with them"
l see thee still
Remembrance, faithful to her trust,
Calls thee in beauty from the dust:
Thou comestin the morning light,
Thou'rt with me through the gloomy night;
In dreams meet thee as OF old;
Then thy soft arms my neck enfold,
And thy sweet voice is in my ear;
In every scene to memory dear,
sec thee still!
l see thee still,
In every halIowed token round:
This little ring thy finger bound,
This lock of hair thy forehead shaded,
This silken chain by thee was braided;
These flowers, all withcred now, like thee,
Sweet sister, thou didSt Gull for me;
This book was thine-herc didst thou read;
This picture-ah, yes, here, indeed,
sec thee still
see thee sill!
Here was thy summer moons retreat,
Here was thy favorite freside seat;
This was thy chamber-herc, each day,
sat and watched thy slow decay
Here, on this bed, thou last didst lie
Here, on this pillow, thou didst die!
Dark hour! once more its woes unfold:
As then saw thee pale and cold,
see thee still
see thee still!
Thou art not in the grave confined
Death cannot chain tn immortal mind;
Let earth close its sacred trust,
But goodness dies not in the dust
Thee, oh my sister! tits not thee.
| Beneath the collins lid | see;-
| Thou to fairer land art gone
There, let me hope, my journey-done,
To see thee still!

RELISIoN-1t is not an abstraction. 1t is
not an ideaity, living in the brain, but leav-
ing the heart untouched. 1t does not con-
sist in particular frames of mind in the
excitement of animal feeling, or the over
flow Of these sensbilities-in the kindling
of the fancy or the heating cf the magma
ton. 1t lives not merely in visible mani
festations of devotion, in the bowling of the
knee, or the lifting of the hands. All these
may be, without religion; and religion may
exist, without them.
1t is benevolent acton, flowing forth from
holy motive. 1t is that charity which hop
ing all things, believing all things, contents
not itself with BE ye warmed and be ye
clothed,' but performs the good which it
desires. 1t is that love which throws its
embrace around all human kind. III is
that benevolence which, like river of good
gushing from pure fountain, flows freely
forth to all, spreading beauty and blessed.
ness misunderstanding the desolate places
TO rejoice, and making the wilderness bud

Lust of power. II seeks not its own prefer

1t is too high to envy the proudest-too

The western papers think that fever and
ague in that section of country will be con-
verted to great mechanical purposes. An
Iowa paper says that somebody will yet
take out patent substituting fever and ague
for boot jacks-with this improvement, that
the former will take off all the clothes ST.

the shaking of twelve men will propel boats
of 100 tons. If this be correct, the days Of

Why is it, in fact, that the tone Of morali-
ty in the high places of society is so lax and
complaisant, but for want Of the independ-
ent and indignant rebuke of society,"
There is reproach enough poured upon the
drunkenness, debauchery, and dishonesty
fthe poor man. The good people who 60
to him can speak plainly-ay, very plainly,
of his evil ways. Why is il, then, that fash
lonable vice is able to hold up its head, and
sometimes to occupy the front ranks Of So
ciety? 1t is because respectable persons,
of hesltating and compromising virtue, keep
1t in countenance. 1t is because timid wo-
man stretches out her hand to the man
whom she knows TO be the deadliest enemy
of morality and TO her sex, while she turns
cold eye upon the victims he has ruined
1t is because there is nobody to speak plain
y in cases like these. And do you think
that society is ever to be regenerated or pu-
rified under the influence of these unjust
and puslllanimous compromises? tell you
never. So long as vice is suffered to be
fashionable and respectable-so long as
men are bold to condemn it only when it is
in rags, there will never be any radical inn
provement. You may multiply Temperance
Societies, and Moral Reform Societies; you
may pile up statute books Of laws against
gambling and dishonesty; but SO long as
the timid homages Of the fair and honored
are paid to splendid iniquity, it will be all
in vain. SO long will it be felt, that the
voice of the world is not against the sinner,
but against the sinners garb. And so long
every weapon of association, and every ba- |
ton of office, will be but missiles together
against the leviathan, that is waIIowing in
the low marshes and stagnant pools of socie-
ty .-Orrillc Dewey.

DEAR Sin: Enclosed transmit the d.
rections of the Bank Attorney, which you
will please scrupulously observe in ma
king your examination in the chain of
titles to property proposed to be mort
gagged to the Bank. When persons have
not their chain Of titles perfect, it will
be imperative that they shall render
them so before they are sent for the in
spection Of the Directory Of the princi-
pal Bank, for final decision. The sue
cess Of the institution, the prosperity of
the people Of Mississippi generally, and
especially Of those who may be the i'm
mediate stockholders, require that our
action shall be marked with due precau-
ton.
1t is the sense Of the Directory, that
persons shall not be required to pay
over the (9a) two and half per cent.
on their stock until the Books Of sub
scription, title papers, &C., are sent here,
and finally passed on, and the stock
graduated according to the charter, when
the papers will be returned accompa-
MED with mortgage, to be executed
by the subscribers, and money paid in;
when, and not until then, will the stock
be declared on, and certificates issued.
My reason for being thus particular is,
that numerous inquiries are made in re-
lation to this matter. If you have pro-
gressed and find that you have been gov
erned by different rule of action, be
pleased TO change, SO as to conform
strictly to the present instructions. 1t
will be an easy matter for you to cor
rect any error into which you may have
fallen; and be assured that in a bust
ness Of such immense magnitude, it is Of
essential importance that uniformity and
system shall govern US.
| have The honor to be, very respect
fully, your obedient servant,
