velopes extreme contrasts, which, tho they

"Yet, strange and heart-redeeming cir.

he could not resolre to do it. He loped; he

A MoTHER's LovE.-Among the lofty
deeds and daring high, which stamped the
early years of our country as its heroic age,
well remember reading thrilling incident
that occurred in the State of Virgnia,-an
incident which have often called 10 mind,
as an admirable illustration of The gigantic
power of a mothers love, when summoned
to meet terrible emergency, A family,
consisting of the parents and eleven child
rem, whose place of residence was distant
outpost, were one day surprised by the fierce
war-whoop of a party of Indians, and ere All
escape could be effected, the murderers'
tomahawk was brandished over the heads of
the defenceless household, and cruelty bath.
ed in the bleod of the father The children
were then secured as captives, and the VIC
torious band were soon on their way to
their forest homes, leaving The afflicted moth
er behind, as not worth the trouble of TAX
ing.
But her affections were too closely twined
around all that was dear to her, TO suffer
them TO be thus snapped in Il moment; and
though somewhat advanced in years, she
deternnen 10 rescue her childred from the
cruel fate awaiting them, or share herself
heil torlures and their death She followed
the Indian trail as they disappeared in the
woods; and when at length, they encamped
on the banks of river, she breasted It's
troubled waves, and standing before her en-
emies, begged that one little child might be
spared TO her. The Indians gave it to her
in derision, for the sake of Witnessing her
struggles in conveying the burden over the
wide and rapid stream. Joyfully the moth
er took the recovered child and bufetted the
waves, ill her precious burden was safely
placed en- the opposite shore. But the
yearnings of mothers heart were not thus
easily 10 be satisfied. Again she crossed
the stream, and again sued for little one
and for the same reason her prayer was again
granted. And thus the heroic mother strug-
ged and bufeltcd the waves time after time,
till she had borne off the last of her precious
charge and placed him safe upon the oppo.
site shore.
And what will not mothers love accom-
plish2 What task is so severe--what suf-
fering SO intense-what risk so daring, az TO
defy her invncible ardor, or repress the
gushing springs Of her affection, when be-
loved child is to be saved from disgrace or
rescued from suffering? Well did one, who
knew what was the heart of woman, ex-
claim.

In all this cold hollow world, no fount

INCREASE OF CR1ME--Almost every pa
per we open, contains an account of murder
robbery, Or other heinous offence. 1t would
seem that crime is rapidly increasing in oul
country. May this not be attributable, il
part, TO the publicity given to deeds ofatroc
ity by their publication in the newspapers
1t is well established fact that many Grim
mails have not only been originally familiar
lied with crime by the publications of such
accounts, but, as they have confessed, theil
appetites were first excited by their perusal
This being the case, is il not incumbent Oh
the conductors of the Press to refrain from
the publication, in future, of the many
crimes which are daily occurring?--State
Journal.
We have frequently noticed that the Jour
nal was barren Of accounts of the many
crimes which are committed Throughout the
country, and we rejoice that the editor has
taken such a stand in the paragraph quoted
above. 1t is right, and we hope the Press,
generally, in this State at least, will occupy
the same ground. II is time for editors to
stop catering fora a depraped public taste
for the desire which seems, 10 a great ex-
tent, to prevail, for the details of every spe-
cies Of crime, no matter how revolving or
disgusting they may be, or how unworthy 10
be placed in the hands Of the young, or how
injurious to morality their effects. can assur-
edly be called by no milder name. There
are many editors who appear to take special
delight in paradng the minutest details of
the most atrocious and soul-sckening crimes
before their readers. Editors, by such Sc.
lections, certainly pay any thing but a COM
piment to the taste Of their readers Many,
undoubtedly, make such selections without
a thought as to their pernic;ous influence );
while others imagine that items ofthat char
acter are better than no news at all. We
think they err. A well-sslected miscellany,
or instructive political matter, is far better.
With the Journal, we inquire, "is it not in
cumbent on the conductors of the Press to
refrain from the publication, in future, of the
many crimes which are daily occurring w--

IMPORTANT EXTRACT.

The following extract, from the Speech Of NJ
Berger, recently delivered in the French Cham.
bers, is worthy of attention. M. Berger is one
of the most renowned statesmen Of France, and
never speaks before weighing wei! what he ad
vances The reader will perceive that he aludes
to the Oregon question, and predicts that England
will yield to a settlement of that question on the
49th parallel: 49,. .ie ,as s..
snow, the Americans claim that their right shall
be recognized up to the 49th degree; they grant
that the 49th parallel Of latitude shall be saken as
their frontier limit. They grant that because they
wish hold the poris the harbors, and the access
10 the Pacific. The English are willing to grant
them only the mouth of the Columbia, and they
say the navigation shall be free-that is, England
would deprive the Americans of the ports and at
the last state of the question, this is the English
proposition: "There is small point of land pre-
'eentrng good port, we will yield it to you"
|, "1he Americans have replied, "you mock US
We will have none Of your ports, surrounded on
every side by British possessions We will carry
our frontier at least up lo,the 49th parallel" And
so negotiations have ceased, and we are told that
they cannot be resumed D. .F-
."They will be resumed. The AMERICANS WILL
NOT YIELD; England apiH yietd. Prolonged SEN
sation5l l. could wish that this question were
wholly FRENCH. Icould wish that we had been at
the point which the Americans are approac hing
TO yield nothing, and TO throw back the word which
was hurled at France by the mouth OF Lord Mel
bourne. CSensalion-loud applause at the left.
Certainly, gentlemen, there will be no war. Ne
gotiations will be resumed. There will be no ar
biraion because arbitration was rejected last year.
aud there are now no arbiters. France might have
been this arbter, had you reserved yourselves. II
you had shown no complaisance-if you had not
compromised your negotiator in the bad negotia-
tious of the English negotiator; If you had not
made the EngIishman the bearer Of your despatch
es; if you had not become responsible for The
English agents threats of war; ; you might have
had the honor, if arbitration were accepted of be-
ing the 'arbters between the United States and
England But you have robbed yourselves in ad-
vance of this honor. You have compromised your
position 100 far. .-.-..- p ..... 5-r-
