THE WOLF ON HIS DEATH BED.

The Wolf in his last moments cast a scrutinizing look over his past life. Il certainly am n sinncr,' he said. bu; yet hope none of the wors'. have com m,ied many crimes but l have nl.o done much good. Once remember, a li,,lc lamb, which had s,rayed from its mother approached SO near 10 me that might have easily killed il. and yet l spared it. At the same time was listening with ihc greatest cquanimi,v, 70 the snecrs and ahuse of sheep, although no dogs were nenr 10 proiec: it.

THOU ART GONE.

BY REV. JAMES cILBoRNE LYONS, M. D. Thou art gone to the shores of the seraph's land T" the sacred place oi the righteous bard ;- Thou hast fled afar, like some forest bird, When the leaves of her dwelling are rude!y
 s,irr'd
 Thy Ire has dust on it's ruin'd string, Thy bride is sad n her fowrry spring, Thy foot-unseen on the temple floor. Thy voice-unheard at the poor mans door. Young Soldier of Truth thou didst raise thy
 shield
 With its hlood-red cross on stormy field; Thou didst look unmov'd on the banner'd throng When the friend was cold & the foe was strong Tn the front of lhe battle we saw thee stand. With a fearless hesrts and forward hand We did hope that the glories of coming years Would cluster about thee: We thought not of But go :-it was better 10 die thus young, When thy praise was loud upon every tongue It was happier far than to finger on. Till the bloom and freshness of life were gone. Since the seal was set on thy noble brow, Thou hast kcp, thy promise and paid thy vow And when suns and systems shall fade and fall Those works of thine shall outlive them all.

NO EFFORTS TO DO GOOD ARE
 LOST.

have heard of some seeds wh oh will sleap in the earth for nges, and have read of ,hc young of certain insects which lie in state like death go years together. and yet when the hand that scattered the seed, had been mingled with inc dust, and when the insect that had deposited the seed would come forth n forest of mighty trees, and the slumher- ing inscc: would wake 10 life and become the mother of an endless multitude. And 80 i, may be with US. We are sca,'c ing the seeds of know ledge, pie'y and i'm mortality. but we sec not the seed spring forth. Our instructions seem 10 be for g0ttrn--the fruits of our liberality seem io have perished-and cur flvors seem to have been in vain. But be of good cou- rage, the seed is still in the earth unde- cayed, and inc time will come when il shall spring forth ana yield pientcous harvest. It is watched over by the God of heuven and not seed shall pcrish.- The hand that scattered the seed may be wi,hered, but the seed i'selt shalt swell and send it's germ, and become mighty tree. The voice that ut'ereth the sermon may be silent. but others that received truth shall come forth and declare it n- fresh to the generations that are yet un> born.

Hon. Truman Smih.-Tnis gentleman has been solicited by some of our c;t;- zens to pay visit 10 this place, for the purpose of bringing about more mi mate acquaintance between dis'uinS, uishcd public servant and part of his constituency. The enthusiasm with which the Wings of :his district rallied 10 his support at the recent election, hns strengthened their desire to sec and know ,he man they have delighted 10 honor. and whose ability and fai,hfuncss have shown him so worthy of thUt honor.- They want to sec him here among th m 1; to iako him by tho hand an1 hear his voice. They have watched his course n, Washington with pride and exultion. :hey have felt that he was an honor 10 the Staie, and that his name has added weight and responsibility to ou, Congress sional delegation While he has been so nobly discharging the duties of his appointment, they have followed him in thought, ma sympaihlsed with him m spirit, and now, after his triumphant res election, they consider it an appropriate season to enjoy n nearer and more heart felt comm union with him. We are hap py in being able to state thnt Mir Smi,h has returned favorable answer 10 the solicitation.

Coop ADVICE TO YouxG WoMEN.-Trust not uncertain riches, but prepare for ev. " condition in life. Learn 10 work, and no, bc dependent upon servants to make your bread sweep your floors and darn your own stockings. Above nll thlngs,d do not esteem oolightly those hon- orablc young men who sustain themselves and their aged parents by the work of their own hands, while you care for and receive int" your company those lazy. idle pop:niays, who never lift finger to help themselves as lcn9 as they can keep body and soul together and get sufficient 10 live in fashion. If you are wise you will look nt this subject as wc do; anu when you cfe o'l enough to become wives you will prefer Ire honest mechanic, with nor a cent 10 commence lie, to the fash- ionable loafcr with capita; or Sio.OOo.
 Whenever WIG hear rcmlrkcd. Such a young lady has married fortune" we always tremble f,r her future pr 'Sprrity. Riches left to children hy wealthy ra- ront<. cGcn turn to n curse ias,oad osa blcssiug. Young women, remember this, and instead of sounding the purses ofyour lovers. and examining the cut of their coats. look into their habits ani 'hclrts. Mark if they have trades, and can depend on themselves; ifihey have minds which will lead them to look hove butterily's existence. Talk nof of the beautiful white skin and soft delicate hand-the splendid form and lhe fine appearance Of tho young gentlemen. Let not these fol'isa considerations lhrons your thoughts.

THE HERO OF BUENA VISTA.

Great emergencies, it is said, pro luce great men. If they do not produce theri'5 they a, ieastbsing them 10 Tight So it has been in thc uaharpy war between us and sister republic. A man of simple i'd unostentatious hahiis--who, though po:- sessing great wealth, chose to follow tho profession of arms, and was ,t>(icl with ibe common routine of military life, never ibruSting himself into holicc, but simply doing his duty in quiet way, is by tho force Of circumStI,' 'ccs brought prominently hefnFc tho public. an! is found 10 possess the highs. .nlitary !d> cnts, ami every other quaity which men arc accustomed 10 admire.
 In early l.tc, an@ n a humhin rank. he successfully dc!cpHe' q Western fort against Il su 2r rior force of 'Ec c:31,.,,.--- His modest dispatch rccn, -.ag thc d,- fence had almost faded from rcmcnl- brancr.
 A: la:cr periol brilliant victory was won by him in thH Florida war. and cvrn with that we had almost rrasch io he con, erSant. TEcrr was no crisis of pub lie affairs, or essential risk of tho n,llnn- nl honor, tD make th'$c cvcn:s of historic cal or political importance. In compar> n,ive retirement or nt most in ;he coms mand of distnn, pns:s. the unaffected though successful command"r passed away years of obscurity. We cannot tell whether this was cnngcnial to his feel l'ngs or not--hut be this as it may, ho knew how "to bide his time," and tho wan, of such knowledge destroys tho prospects and usefulness ofmany Il really great man.
 How many of our most gifted public servonts. impartial of delay. havo cn- deavorcd to control destiny itself and create events upon which their advance" mcnt depend. How many bright spirits have thus hecn shroudcd in darkncss be~ fore they have reached even q mid>day career.
 Gen. Taylor, fortunate in his phios- ophy or his temperament, permitted events To take their cour>c-iranquil in retirement, and calm cyen when forgot zen,
 But all at once he dcvclopcs the qualis ties of Il great general. In tho mnst crit ical situations his judgement forsces what his valor wins. No matter what may be tho difficulties around him, he meets and overcomes them all. In strat- cgy, as well as hand to hand, he evinces superio! skill, and when the nation tl'' most gives him up for lost again and hgnin he sends back 10 it the intelligence that he has conquered.
 In no pagc of our history do we find recorded four such hard. fought battles, fought at such fearful odds, as these. which have placed such laurcls on the brow of Gen. Taylor, and the bravo troops under his commando Tie coun- try is ns;onishcd to find it possesses such a man.- Journal Of Commerce.
