Bury my influence with me.

Bury my influence with me.
Not long since young man, blessed with
wealthy and respectable parentage, who might
have been useful and honored, had he improy-
ed his opportunities, but who had run short
career of vice and dissipation, and by his ex-
ample entced others to ruin--was stretched
upon his dying bed. The lamp of life was
burning feebly in its socket, weeping relatives
were gathered around him. The dying youth,
as if arousing his last energies Of exhausted ma
ture, called upon his attending friends, g am
about to be launched into eternity. Bitterly,
0 bitterly, do regret my sins and follies.
have one request to make before leave you
forever. Soon you will commit me to the op-
en- grave. Q gather up my influence and bu-
ry it with me''
He died, and was buried, but his influence
lives, and not only to the latest generation of
man, bat through eternity TO come it will con-
tinue to operate.
. reader, what is your influence Were
you about TO he launched into eternity, would
you wish TO have your influence gathered up
and consigned to the oblivion Of the tomb
Strive TO live unto God. To him consecrae
your powers, and live for the welfare of your
race: Then, when your unconscious dust
shall lie mouldering in the grave, the influence
you have lef, behind you will go down through
succeeding generations, to redeem, sanctily,
and bless.
Description of the Person of Jesus Christ.

to he Senate Of Rome.
There lives at this time in Judea, man Of
singular character, whose name is Jesus Christ
The barbarans esteem him prophet, bu, his

paralleed virtue as to call back the dead fom

elegantly shaped, his aspect amiable and reve-
rend. His ha'r flows in those beautiful shades
which no united colory can match, falling into
graceful curls below the ears, agreeably couch
of his head, like the head dress Of the sect of
NaZarItes. His forehead is smooth, and his
cheeks without spot, save that of lovely red
His nose and mouth are formed with an ex-

whether in word or deed, being elegant, grave
and strictly characteristic ofso exalted being;
no man has seen him laugh; but the whole
world has frequently beheld him weep, and so
persuasive are his tears, that the multitude can
not withhold theirs from joining with him. He
is very modest, temperate, and wise. In short,
whatever this phenomenon may be in the end,
he seems at present man of excellent beauty

MR.. Editor: In looking over the form OF
petition you propose circulating for sigma
lures, asking Congress to give the people In
the wards of this city, the privilege OF voting
at the polls license, or no license, while
am in favor Of the plan, think our corpora
uon haze the power Of passing law requiring
the individual who wants to make money off
the mlseries of his iellow-men, by selling poi
son, to get the signatures of majority of the
heads OF families, whether male or female, TO
sign the recommendation of said individual,
within the square where he wishes TO open
the pest house, or the adjoining squares. This
would be no more than just and right--in-
stead Of the present law which requires but
six free holders to sign, as if none but free hol-
ders were interested in the matter. think
the widowed mother, who has son or sons,
who are in danger Of being lured into these hot
beds Of vtce, has greater interest in it than the
man who has only houses and lots, which can
not be affected by the traffic, but in pecunia-
ry point OF view don't know that our pres
ent council would pass such law, but the.
people have the making Of the council-let
them see to it, at the approaching election
We might try the present one.
