Mr.. Clay's Private Character.

We do not believe it at all necessary, before
intelligent community, to enter into defence of
Mr.. Clay against tho malignant attacks of his
vious opponents. He belongs TO the Nation, has
boon for third of century intimately connec-
ted with public affairs, and his acts and his inu
once are stamped on overy page of the history of
the country for that period. He is known at
home, and throughout the civilized world, as
high-mlnded, intelligent statesman, open-hcarod,
candid. frank, generous almost to a fault. 1t sup
poses the people of the United States, who of all
othors should be well read in his history. public
and private, It supposes this people Ignorant of
what ovory school boy should know-,o enter in
to defencc of him, against tho stream of vitu-
poration poured upon him by Jacobns and Donna
goguos. SO we thnk-but others amonr us
think these attacks should be met and put down.

upright men, who had been deceived as to Mr.
Clays moral character, tho Secretary of the

THE IDE PRAYER.

She rose from her delicious sleep,
And put away her soft brown hair,
And in a tone as low and deep,
AS loves first whisper, b. cathed a PRAYER,
Her snow white hands together pressed,
Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid,
The folded linen on her breast,
Just swelling with the charms it hid
And FROM her long and flowing dresp,
Escaped a bare and snowy foot,
Whose steps upon the earth did press,
Like a new snow fake white and mute ;
And then from slnmbers sptt and warm,
Like a young epirit fresh from heaven,
She bowed that.sIight and rnatchless form,
And hunbIy prayed 10 be forgiven.
O, God, if souls unsoiIad AZ these,
Need daily mercy from thy throne;
If she upon her Bonded knees,
Our hottest and our purest one;
She with a face so clear and bright,
We deem her some stray child of light
II she with those soft eyes in tears,
Day after day in her young years,
Must kneel and pray for grace from thee,
What far, far deeper need have we!
How hardly if she win not heaven,
Will our wild errors be forgiven!
