LINES
on THE DEATH OF MISS REBEC.
ca JANE EVANS, OF CECIL co.

Seldom, indeed, are we called upon 10 record
the death OF one SO young, SO interesting, SO beau
titul, as the lady, whose, demise We are about 10
commemorate This sudden and unlocked for
dsronaa.!on Of Providence, has fallen with a
whitening Blight upon thu hearts of numerous
circle, 10 whom she was bound by the .cndercst
ties of consequently, friendship and love. Miss
Lvans Joined TO a strictly amiuble disposition
the highcst Veneration for the religion of the
Bible, and was early impressed, from the nstruc-
t!on and example o!pious parcnis;-
"To love religion, and her paths to Seek
That when her end should come, her soul might
fl,
10 hold communion with the just on high"
In the death of this young lady, society has lost
all ornament, and tho social virtues an advocate.
Sho war member Of the Presbyterian church,
and was universally beloved fol tho purity, us
well as tho practice of her pioty. Well do we
recol!ect the occasion when she was taken into
tho church, how heavenly she looked, as decked
in The beautiful robes of prayer
She stood before the altar of eternal truth,
In all the meek simplicity ofyouth,
A candidate for Heaven;
While from the sacred desk, the man of God
Proclum'd the everlasting riches Of his word,
To guilty sinners given!
Who present on that occasion, could havo sup
posed, that in less than one short year, they
would be called upon to with ess the last sad tr-
butte Of tho living, to the memory of the Dead to
SEQ the iifeless remains of one SO promising of
life borne to the very altar, before which her
earliest VOWS Of religion wore made' Beautiful
in life, still more beautiful in death Yos, in the
very morning of life, cen before the tender girl
had ripenod into beauteous womanhood, ''when
life was gay, and its prospects shone brightest,
when in aazzling hucs, fancy painted to her young
mind, swee! fields of happiness in the far distant
future, and hope, ling forth the native cner-
Cies Of the soul, threw the shining bow of pros
rerity athwart her sky: the rpthles, King OF
Terrors plucked the opening rose from mortali-
ty'e shore, while angel hands conveyed the seed
up to Heaven, there to spring forth and blossom
in the sunny fields of Paradise" Her friends
may indeed deplore her departure, but she is 10
doubt happy with angels in tie land of love.
| Oh death, how cruel, in an evil hour,
To snatch from earth being then SO fair;
10 enter and to blight in beauty's bower,
Tho fairest rose that even blossom'd there.
But tho thy scythe hath slain the lovely rose,
And laid it whitening in the silent sod;
act 1t shall bloom where no Jude tempest blows
In yonder glorious garden of our God.
She was all gentlenesu, all peace and love,
She was as perfect and as pure in heart
As are the bright Inhabitants above,
How sad to think that she should feel dsath1

THE CORRECT SYSTEM.-The
only proper way TO arrive at correct con-
cIusions, is TO examine closely the facts
that are presented to view and when
such facts are FULLY demonstrated, there
is not the least difficulty in establishing
their correctness IN the minds of whole
community. The wonderful and effective
cures performed by Stainburn's Vegetable
Extract Pills, have convinced the most
sceptical of the efficacy Of this most pop,
ular medicine. The invigora,ing and
searching qualities Of the different articles
which enter into their composition, have
tendency to remove all impurities Of the
blood, destroy undue hillary secretions
and promote insensible pcrspiralion, there
by renovatng the system, and producing
health, strength and activity.
Said pills are sold in EIkton. by VIM
ToIbert, and by agents published in an
other part Of this paper.

ment constituted as ours is and separated as 1t is
by the Atlantic from the nations of the old world,
it is reasonable to persume that such conflicts will
be rare. The intervals of peace will probably be
of much the longest duration, and our system oil
permanent policy should, therefore, be regulated
chifiy with view to this state of our national ex-
istence But the decisive answer to this sugges-
ton is, that money constitutes the sinews of war;
and that its cxigencics are best provided for, by
enrching the nation in time of peace A system
of Free Trade will mainly conduce to this object
The resources which it will furnish, will SECURE
the services Of the neutral trader and these, with
our own internal manufactures, which are al
ready independent of Legislative protection, will
amply supply our wants in srch an emergency,
1T is one, and not the least of the evils of the
system which we deprecale, that it has tendency
to demoralize our citizens, to habtuate them to
evasions of the laws, and TO encourage the odious
and destabIe practice of smuggling. 1t is the ef-
feet of the protecting duty, 70 raise the price of
commodities considerably above that at which
they could be imported al a moderate revenue dn-
ty Unless this is SO, it fails 10 accomplish its dcs-
tined object, and is entirely useless. The inevita-
bic consequence is, the temptation TO clandestins
importation, and the facilities which are affordgd
by our widely extended inland and ocean frontier,
give impunity to the smugglcr."

The Federal bullies in this City--the Editor

most violent terms These men, be it known to
our friends, are backed and sustained by the Whig
Central Committee, and that here, in this city,
there isa system of political denuncation and a
course of social prescription carried out which
calls for the most active vigilance and the most
energetic efforts on the part of the members ofthe
democratic party generally. Our course as an
Editor is clear-it is right on. If we are de-
nounced, we shall denounce back again. If we
