HOME.

who can forget the delightful abode,
Where the days of his childhood have oyously flowed
Not the shores of fair Greece the ruins of Rome
Could give such pleasure the view of home
The song of the bird still resonnds in my ear,
The peep of the frog, that | then loved to hear
The babblng brook with its rocks and its foam,
Where baited the trout when lived at sweet home
How pleasant the meadow, the mountain and grove
Where OF my young footsteps delighted rove
The sweet scented orchard arrayed in its bloom
long to behold thee loved Eden Of home
Dear sisters, dear brothers, how merry the day,
When loved and laughed and tired our play
And o, the bright evenings when winter had come,
With the story and song and the mrth of sweet home
In the nights airy visions live my life DER,
And oft is my thumb the latch of the door,
wake-but the phantom departs in the gloom
I'm still far away from the friends of sweet home
o, cold is the heart does not leap at the sound,
And Maynard the feet never homeward are bound;
When through the lone desert or city roam
In Joy and in grief still think of sweet home.
o, who can forget the delightful abode,
Where the days of his childhood have joyously flowed;
Unwept let me die and descend to the tomb
When cease to remember my home, my home

From the N. Y. News.
NEWS OF THE WEEK,

The great event of the week has been
the arrival of the Liverpool steamer. Her
news though not very inn ortant, may be
found at large in another part of the paper.
1t is quite curious and interesting in one par
ticular, however; O'Connell, who few
brief months ago, could scarcely find Ian
guage strong enough in denuncation of Sir
Robert Peel, can now scarcely find language
strong enough in his praise. "Hurra for
Peel and Repeal" cries the demagogue, and
the watchword is re-echoed by the thousands
who take from him their cue. The Prime
Minister of England is certainly one of the
most extraordinary men of these times. He
came in tory, and acts like radical, and
yet his oid friends who have brought him
into power, are afraid TO desert his standard.
He disarms the opposition by an excess of
liberation to which they would not have gone,
and carries the Tories along with him in all
his reforms. From all present indications,
Sir Robert is likely to maintain his post as
Minister as long as he may feel inclined.
During the past week the city has been
thronged with rather motley collection of
visitors. FIRST, we have had among us all
those who are peculiarly interested in the
religious anniversaries ofthis season. Then
we have had the usual number of abolition
lists. Next we have had quite a numerous
convention of infdels, delegates being pre-
sent from ten States of the Union. Next,
we have had, too, and still have, great
throng of Southern jockies, "sporsmen, -
gamblers, &C., who have been drawn here by
the great race between Peytona and Fashion,
which is to " come off, as they say, on the
18th. This makes singular mixture
Christians, Infdels, Abolitioniss, and Jock
les. We are pleased to state that the report
of the various benevolent societies Indicate
a high state of prosperity. The past year
has been one of peculiar activity among
them.

The New Orleans Bee Of the 25th ult
gives this singular account of the recovery
of hidden treasure by means of the diving
rod:
The following singular circumstances was
related 10 us yesterday on good authority as
having occurred on Wednesday night. A
short time since, an individual who had been
confined for number of years in the Parish
Prison, being at the point of death, informed
a friend that at certain spot near Clark 5
House, on Bayou Road, were buried three
kegs of gold and silver The person TO
whom this was made known, employed seven
or eight negroes, who for the last ten days
were busly engaged in digging in and about
the designated place. On Wednesday eve
ming, the person TO whom the information
was impaired, despairing of success, aban-
doned further success and drew off his forces
Soon after he had evacuated the premises,
two other persons who had been for some
time observing the previous operations, made
then appearance on the spot, accompanied
by miner from Gaena, Illinois, who, with
his diving rod'' in hand, was soon enabled
to point out the spot where the treasure was
10 be found-which, singular 10 relate, was
one of the identical spots where the prev-
Gus search had been made, and which had
been excavated TO the depth of four feet, in
accordance with the instruction impaired by
the deceased prisoner. One of the nep par
ties in search, recolecting the great amount
of alluvial deposte in that part of the city,
caused by the crevasse which occurred at
Macarty's Point several years since, cont-
nued further excavation of four feet, when
large keg of great weight was discovered.
and after being disembodied, was placed
upon dray in attendance and removed with
great precipitation from the ground 10 parts
unknown. AS to the nature of the contents
of the keg, we are entirely ignorant, but as
to its discovery and removal, a number of
old and highly respectable citizens who were
present, will testify. That the search has
been going on for number of days, has
been no secret. His honor the Mayor and
a number of The city and municipal officers
having at times been present, and Witnessed
with interest and curiosity the operations
going on.

Young Men, Help Yourselves.

Providence" we are told, " helps them who
help themselves" A true proverb, and worthy
to be stamped on every heart. Passing on through
life, you will find many stream that will cross
your path-but don't sit down and mourn, If
you can't wade across, throw in stones to stand
upon, or bring forth dead tree from the forest,
and you will soon make bridge and be safe on
the opposite side. To-day you are opposed in
your project. Don't stop-don't go back-meet
the opposer-persevere and you will conquer
Providence will assist you. You have failed in
business-come out from under the toad-stool Of
dependency and try again. BOUNDS fyou
don't help yourself and persevere you will dc
nothing, and be punched at by every beggar and
every pauper on crutches, who passes along
Your friends have died-bury them--but dom
linger in the church-yard, mourning because they
are gone and you may go next Up with you
wipe off your tears and go to work and be hap
py-tis the only way.
In fine, help yourselves in all places-at al
times and Providence will assist you, smile OF
you, and make life scene of active enjoymen
and real pleasure.

fit but to be slave. That the north has responded to
it most fully and heartily, is abundantly shown by the
numberess and measureless wrongs which it has in
tlcted, and still nficts, on its own colored people,
To those who will not reflect upon the subject no ar
gumen goes far to justify southern slavery, that
which is drawn from the humble circumstances and
humble character of the free people of color Had not
the policy OF the north, III its laws and customs, been
to debase its own colored people-had the policy to-
wards them been the opposite policy pursued toward
its white people-and had its colored population been
as in that case it would have been as h0aored and ell
eyated its white population- would be found ut
terly impossible to reconcile the north to the enslave-
ment of the coored man. Now, however, the white
man of the north finds it easy inference, that the
race, to which the Cest-out, hated beings around him
belong is Just suited to the yoke of slavery; and,
hence little violence is done to his feelings by south
oppression No proposition is more true, than that
the wrongs which the north has done, and continues to-
do to its coored people, enter most largely into the
explanation of its pro-savery spirit and furnish the
most influential argument in favor Of southern oppreS-
sion. We will mention some of these wrongs and,
ere dong So VIII remark, tnaJ JIe fullest, us
most historical proof will hardly suffice to convince
right minded posterity that their professedy republic
and christian fathers bigotted and cruel as
to infct them.

Swearing.

Whatever may be made by perjury believe there
never a man that made a fortune by swearing. 1t
often happens that pay for swearing, butitseldom
happens that they paid for it. 1t is not easy to
perceive that honor or credit is connected with it.
Does any man receive promotion because he is a
table blusterer? Or is any man advanced in dignity
because he is expert in profane swearing? Low must
be the character which such mpertinence will exalt
high must be the character which such impertinence
will not degrade Inexcusable therefore, must be the
practice which has neither reason nor passion to sup
port it. The drunkard has his cups; the lecher his
mistress the satrist his revenge the ambitious man
his preference; the miser his gold but the common
swearer has naught he sells his soul for naught and
drudges in the service of the devil gratis. Swearing
is void ofa plea it s not the offspring of the SOUL not
interviewer with the texture of the body any how
allied to our frame. For as TLLoTsoN expresses it.
"though some men pour out oaths as if they were
natural, yet no man was ever born with swearing
constitution"

IZe why It was that prayer assembled, and that
blood oozed forth-without soul-melting sorrow
for the sin that cost the sacrificed Who can look
by faith within the veil, and hear that same COM
passionate voice now interceding for the sinner,
and then with an eye of love fixed on the soul say
ing come unto me, all ye that labor and are
heavy laden"-without flying at once with ador-
ing gratitude to ONE thus able and willing to save!
Fer the tried and tempted no place is like the
garden and the cross Nowhere else can the soul
acquire such lessons of humility and love. How
delightful is it to learn there that earth has no
sorrow that heaven cannot heal" In the light
of Chrst's sufferngs and sacrifices for us, what
can we endure worthy of the name of sufFerings

ence, that had been our doom but for his bound
less love.
In sickness, in bereavement, amid persecu-

To the Young there be one crown deep
er set with gems than another; if there be one
robe finer than another in its texture, and more
white in its aspect, ---that crown and that robe
may be set aside to adorn the brow and to grace
the spirit of that youth, the freshness and prime
ofwhose affections were given to God who shun-
ned the crowded avenues of dissipation whose
young thirst for pleasure was slaked at religions
fountain and whose lofty aspirings were not for
the honor which cometh from man, but for the
honor which comeh from God only. If, then,
such diadem be wreathed for you, will you not

patience the race that is set before you, looking
unto JESUS, the althor and fnsher Of your faith.

GethSCmane,


"And being in an agony he sweat as it were
great drops Of blood falling down to the ground.
In contemplating the example of our Lord,
what scene is more full Of touching interest than
that in Gethsemane. The hour of anguish, of
conflict with the hosts of earth and hell was fast
approaching. Jesus, the brightness Of the Faith
ers glory--the adored of heaven-the hope of
earth-was about to fulfil his mission Of suffering.
He stood alone-human sympathy was not offer
ed human wretchedness and the sin of the self
ruined, were the theme that induced that prayer
of agony Suppose he had tainted beneath the
weight that was pressing upon HIM, and calling
for legions Of angels, had with them assembled or
high, leaving the work Of our redemption incom
plete. Man might have done thus, but not SC
