Nv Mothers Voice! My Mothers Voice!
On, that | could hear il now
How would my loveless heart rejoice,
And shadows vanish from my brow,
Long years Of struggling and Of care
Have left their worldly wearing trace,
Since blessing me, she breaihed prayer
That nigh. win Almighty gtace.
Strange tones | hear where kindness blends,
Bul mute in all that sacrifice
The accents of Lile's early friends,
And chldhood's old familiar ties.
Roam where we will, no music yet
Affection ever dreamed so choice,
As that soft strain we meier forget
Tha, angeI-nole-a Mothers Voice.
Nv Molher's Voice! Remembrance dwells
On words of love breathed long ago,
And Mercy's herald, Hope ioreells
That sill for me its tones shall flow,
Oblvions of pas, days Of pain,
How would my weary heart rejoice
To hear that melody again

sTRouDsBuRe MONROE COUNTY,

When they had got through with their lea
and tired of their talk, Miss Jones rose to leave.
The Misses Jenkins bid her an afectionate
good night, and asked her If she would not
soon come again, yet the door had not been
well closed on her when they mutually wished
never to see her face again. She had such
nasty habit of speaking Of people behind 'heIH
backs, practice of which, they thanked good
ness, they were never guilty.
7, is queer how we thu, censure others for
conduct which very often forms the ruling pas
sion of our own character, hut as that asiuie
philosopher, Sam Slick, says, we suppose it's

French and English, when General Amherst
was marching across the country 10 Canada,
the army coming To one of the lakes which
they were obliged 10 pass, found the French
had an armed vessel oil l2 guns upon it. The
General was in great distress; his boats were
no match for her, and she alone was capable ol
sinking his whole army, in the situation In
which II was placed. Gen. Putnam came Ia
him and said, General that ship must be Ia

The Siassnese Twins.

We extract from the le,ler of correspondent

account of Chang aud Eng. and their families

retired from the public gaze, and settled down
in this county (WiIkes) as farmers. You will
also recollec, tina. during las, year it was pub
lished in some oil The newspapers that they had
married Two sisters. This notice was treated
as hoax by some Of The journals, and in
cline 10 think inal public opinion settled that
The twins were still living in single blessedness
To my surprise find that the supposed hoax
is a literal fact; and that these distinguished
characters are married men. Mrs c. and Mrs
E. are well known 20 several of my personal
acquaintances, and are said 10 be very amable
and industrious. Each of The ladies has pre-
sen,ed her particular q lord" with an heir, in the
person of fine, fat, bouncing daughter
1t is said lha. Chang and Eng, with their
wives and children. contemplate making tour
through this country in year or two. The
twins enjoy excellen, health--are very lively
'alkalive, and apparently happy; and will doubt,
less prove more interesting and attractive in
their second tour than they did in their frs
over The civilized world. Having families to

ficient for all the lille Changs and Engs o.

The Coffee is an evergreen shrub, rising To
twenty feet in height. The fruit is round
feshy berry, and great care is taken to conduct
lilile rills Of water in small channels TO the
roots of The trees The berry grown in Arabia
is smaller than that OF the East and West In-
dies, but its flavor is much finer, because in
Arabia the soil is rocky. dry, and hot The
trees are watered by artificial means, and there
fore The proper quantity Of moisture only is i'm
bibed by Them The roasting Of coffee should
he carefully watched and superin,ended by an
intelligent person. The moment the berry
craekles, and becomes crisp enough TO pnlver-
ise, II is sufficiently roasted. Once taken off
the roasier, it should be placed in several thick
folds of flannel, TO undergo The process of cool
ing. This preserves the essential oil in the
coffee, and prevents the aroma from escaping.
When the coffee is cool, place it in air tight
canister. Sufficient for the day should be the
coffee thereof In other words, never roast if
you can avoid it, more than for single days
onsunpton-certainly not more than for two
or three days. Grind or pound your coaee not
more than quarter of an hour before yDa want

EFFEcT OF ANNExArloN ON TILE souru.

EFFECT OF ANNEXATION ON THE SOUTH
The Natchez Courier takes decided ground a.
gainst the annexation Of Texas, and argues tina,
II would be ruinous to Mississippi, by draining i,
OF i's population, to people territory better a.
dapted than itself to the production OF cotton,
and consequently furnishing from its own bosom
the facilities of building up rival by which il is
to be crushed! 1t seems to us that this very ma
turai view OF the subject is destined to work a
very great revolution in public sentiment i'm the
Southern States, on this great question. 1t will
be remembered that Senator Walker was SO ea-
ger 10 acquii himself of suspicion of Interested
motives. (though he has by no means succeeded
In doing SOY that he declared that his own cot
ton land in the Southwest will be Deprecated
i,oo hundred thousand dollars by the annexation of
Texas which certainly proves that he is very
a,sinferesfed gentleman, unless he expects to be
In some way compensated for his zeal. Now, if
this estimate, in his individual case. be true, what
must be the aggregate decline in the value Of the
cotton lands throughout the entire valley of the
mississippi! And will not that decline of ne
cessity reach us Of the tobacco and whea, grow
ing region! Ii is sometimes urged that the ac-
QUESTION Of Texas will enhance the value of
slaves, and this argument has its effect with
those who look only specifically at the subject.
But, even should the fact be so, will not the fall
in the value Of lands be even greater than tie
advance in the price of negroes-to say nothing
OF the fact that the latter will be temporary
while the former will be permanent. Is it pro-
per, that question involving such momenlous
