"AMEN-HlT OR Miss. THE New

gushed in the western country as a clergy

east. lie was fluent and animated speak

not over fond of the spontaneous burst of
/" Amen" which it was some years since
generally the custom of the brethren and
sisters to indulge in. An old man Of the
name Of Whitcher, devoted methodist,
on one occasion, interrupted Mr.. Ruter a
number of times during his elaboration,
with fervent ejaculation of "A-men. ="
Elder Ruier at length paused and vemark-
ed, that il gave him pain to censure any
brother; but he disllked exceedingly 20 be
so often interrupted and he hoped be
should not be, during the remainder of his
discourse. Poor Whitcher looked blue,
but sat as still as he could under the re

discourse, which being pathetic and i'm
pressive, the old man could contain him.

The trembling dew-drops fall,
Upon the shutting lowers-like souls at rest,
The stars shine gloriously-an and all,
Save me, is blest.
Mother-I love thy grave -
The violet, with its blossom blue and mild,
Waves Ger thy head-when shall it
wave
Above thy child
tbs sweet flower-yet must
Its bright leaves to the coming tempest bow
Dear mother-'tis thine emblem-dust
Is on thy brow -
And l could love to die
To leave untasted life's dark, bitter streams
BY thee, as erst in childhood, life,
And share thy dreams.
And must lnger here
To stain the pumage ofmy snless years,
And mourn the hopes TO children dear
With bitter tears
Ay-must | linger here,
A lonely branch upon a blasted tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untime'y sere,
Went down with thee!
Oft from life's withered bower,
Ia .t;n e~-nr,nnininn with the past turn,
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memory's urn.
And, when the Evening pale
Bows like mourner on the dim, blue wave,
stray to hear the night-winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is Thy spirit fown?-
gaze above-thy look is imaged there
listen-and thy gentle tone
Is on the AIR.
Oh come-whlst here press
My brow upon thy grave-and, in those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless, thy child!
Yes, bless thy weeping child,
And DER thine urn-religion's hottest shrine
Oh give bis spirit undefled
To blend with thine.

the names Republican, and sFedeFalisis
distinguished those who differed on great
subjects Of constitutional law and foreign
policy. At the memorable epoch Of the
declaration Of war against Great Britain,
when our young country without an army
or treasury, and with five frigates and
few smaller vessels, for a navy, was driv-
en- by oppression TO measure strength
which proclaimed the empire of.the seas
by right of conquest.-which was wealthy
enough to subsidize Europe-upon whose
provinces the sun never sets; and whose
arms were destined to overthrow the con-
oueror of all Chrstendom, that his armies
could rcach---the American people
were not united in their counsels. At
that gloomy period Henry Clay was the
champion of his country's honor, on the
floor of Congress; while that party which
was indirectly aiding the cause of the
common enemy, by seeking 10 embarrass
the administration of Mr.. Madison, receiv-
ed the active aid of Martin Van Buren,, in
advancing the election of De Witt Clinton,
the Presidential candidate of tho Federal
party. The man who could cooperate
with such party, for such a purpose can
scarce deserve the name of patriot.
He is indeed the proper chief of faction,
which denied Mississippi the right to
choose their own Representatives in the
Legislature of the Union.
The name of John Tyler, of Virginia,
also, is presented by the Convention to
the people of Mississippi and our sister
States, as proper'candidate for the office
Of Vice President. We offer no extended
eulogy on his character, and no act of his
calls for apology or defence.
The honorable posts which he has filled,
and the high reputation which he has sus-
tanned in the councils of the Nation, and
of his native State, are not unknown in
any section Of Mississippi.
The nominees for other Offices will, we
presume, represent their claims in person.
We leave them, therefore, TO their own
exertions, with the passing remark, that
the wishes and interests of all portions of
the State were duly consulted and labori-
ously examined, by the commi. tee which
made those nominations; and that the Con-
vention accepted them with entire unan-
unity.
In conclusion, permit us TO indulge the
hope, that all who wish well to our cause,
will give us their active aid. The delu
sions of former years have, indeed, been
passing away; and in this State, the scep-
tire seems 10 have del arted from those
VINO SO long abused the confidence Of
their conntrymen. But one victory does
not prove established ascendancy. The
friends of good government must not re-
lax their efforts, in the belief that success
is easily attainable. All that energy and
concert can effect, must be expected of
those who have sinking party to sustain.
And five fail in the elections Of next No
vember, we will deserve to bear the re-
proach of Indifference TO our country's
welfare.

FEMALE INFLUENCE.

| have observed that married man tall
ing into misfortune is more apt to retrieve
his situation in the world than single one;
chiefly because his spirits are soothed and
relieved by domestic endearmenls, and
his self.respect kept alive by finding that,
although all abroad be darkness and humil-
iation, vet there is a little world Of love at
home ofwhich he is a monarch. Where
as, single man is apt to run to ruin and
neglect to fancy himself lonely and aban-
doned, and his heart to fall to ruins, like
some deserted mansion, for want of an in
habitant. have often had occasion TO
remark the fortitude with which women
sustain the overwhelming reverses of for
tune. Those which break down the spirit
of man aud PROSTATE him in the dust,
seem 10 call forth all the energies of the
softer sex, and give such intrepidity and
elevation to their character, that, at times,
it approaches to- sublimity; nothing can be
more touching than to behold a soft and
tender female, who had been all meekness
and dependence, and alive 10 every trivial
roughness, while treading the prosperous
path Of life, suddenly rising in mental force
to be the comforter and supporter Of her
husband under misfortune, abiding, with
unshrinking firmness, the biiternest blast
of adversely. As the vine which has
long twined its graceful foliage about the
oak, and been-iiffed by it to sunshine, will,
when the hardy plants rifled by the thun-
derbolt, cling around it with its caressing
tendrils, and bind up its shattered boughs;
so it is beautifully ordered by Providence
that woman, who is the ornament and de.
pendent Gilman in his happier hours, should
be his stay and solace when smitten with
sudden calamity winding herselfinto the
rugged recesses Of his nature, tenderly
supporting the dropping head, and binding
up the broken heart. = Washington IrUing.
