An infant Law on its mothor's breast,
And calm end sweet was IFS evening rest
And the mile on it's placid face would CLEAN,
As i; came and went in its childish dream.
The mother gazed on her cherished flower,
I, wa. the charm of her quiet bower;
And deep g. strong WAS her hearts Dwn prayer
That long, full long, ii might slumber there.
An srCel stood BY her gentle child,
srropli pure from his own bright isle.
And with dulcst voice he woke the hymn,
Tha; is snng alone by ssraphim.
Twas a heavenly Law. and the infant heard.
And il woke when the air by that lay was stlrr-
ed;
And i, longed TO hear, if but once again.
The beaded notes OF thai witchIng strain,
oh! come with NE 10 my native shore,
And that song you shall sing forevermore;
And Christ u i'll make you hi own bright gem,
For Christ sas q batc in Bethlehem.
The winged one spake, and the infants brow
Grew bright, for its heart was joyous now;
Yes, inyous now, though the silver string,
Which bound il TO earth, was severins.
'rwasa Sabbath morn, and the sunlight shone,
But the tabe from its . loved home ltc
gone;
its cheek va. pale, and its eye was dim,
But i, swelled the sang OF the seraphlm.
oh, mother, thy child. in a better land,
I.g,zing down on a wee ping band;
And those from pain and from sorrow free,
Fond mother, it waits TO welcome thee.

"HoRsE ALLEN."-We are assured
that this individual. the candidate OF
IS. Penn, Jr.," and his associates. for
Governor, at the August election, has
made a public declaration Of his de-
termination not TO support Polk and
Dallas in November.
During the canvass Mr.. Allen took
repeated occasions. as we were in
formed at the time. to express
his admiration of Mr.. Clay; and now
he openly declares his opposition to
the candidates of the Democracy
Here is another item of evidence to
satisfy the mind of any democrat who
may have been in doubt as to what
game was to have been played upon
the Democracy Of Missouri by Penn
and his "Softs," in the event of AL
lens election. That an effort was
TO have been made by them to trans
fer the State to Clay, there can be ne

misunderstanding ground
which the Democrats Of Hannibal
first selected for holding the late con-
vention was in a grove about mi
mile from the town; but subsequent
ly, in order to have the advantage of
a more convenient landing for those

changed their intention, and selected
the site upon which it was held. near
a plane called SciPio, and which was
once laid out for a town. This cir
