her loneliness let us now behold her as a
wife, no longer the idol of lovers dream,
but the sharer of his life-the joy, the
comfort of her husbands home. We would

How to Speak 10 Children.

1t is usual to attempt the management Of
children either by corporal punishment, or
by rewards addressed to the senses, and by
words alone. There is one other means
of government, the power and Importance
of which are seldom regarded--I refer 10

on child, accompa MED with words so utter
ed, as to coun,eract entirely its intended
effect; or the parent use language, in the
correction of the child, not objectionab bic in

than defeats its influence. Let any one

THE NEWS FROM NEW MEXICO
Full particulars ofthe Msurrectsou.

F~Nparticulars Of The Lnsurrectson.
The Western mail last night brought
the St Louis Republican of the 9th and 9Th
inst., in which we find full particulars of
the interesting and painful events, of which
we published yesterday, condensed a.-
count received by telegraph from Pittsburgh.
We copy the lett er below
The ST. Luis Republican makes these
editorial remark upon the subject -
The difficulties, resulting in the murder
of the Governor of the territory. makes it
still more incumbent on the Administration
to throw additional numbers of men into
New Mexico. There were not troops
enough to protect the Americans at cur last
advices, if the instruction was as geenral
as the rebels intended it should be. Col.
Doniphan, with the most effective Of his
force, was far off en- his way to Chi
huahua Death had cut off more than
one hundred ofPrice's Regiment, and many
others were on the sick list. Detached par
ties were scattered in different parts Of the
country, wherever grazing could be had for
their horses and animals. and the lnforma-
ton Of the traders, last from there, is to the
effect that there were only about four hun
dred efficient men in Santa Fe. THIS is
small force for the occupation Of such a
town as Santa Fe, and to secure the quiet
of the inhabitants of the territory who may
be peacefully disposed, but who, it is now
evident, are now outnumbered byrebeIlous
and trencherons spirits. Nothing but a
numerous body ofmiitary, stationed at pro-
per points, can guarantee peace and secu.
rity for property in that country; and the
Government should at once send an addition
al force there. We ought to be spared, by
proper precautions, the occurrence Of such
disasters as those to which we have alluded,
and. which have brought deep anguish TO

6 LIBERTY AND MY NATIVE SOIL. >,
The Knell of the Sea.


In tho wreck of tho steamer Atlantic OH the
dreadful night of November Goth, it is said that as
soon as the boat stuck, its bell commenced tollng
and continued to toll slowly and mournfully us long
as any portion of the wreck was to be seen.
Toll! Toll! Toll!
Across the moaning sea;
Toll Toll! Toll!
Slowly and disnally:
Amidst tho tempest's roar,
This bowling wintor's night,
hear still from tho rock-r.bbod shore,
That sound of wild alright.
Toll! Toll! Toll!
Across tho moaning sea;
Toll! Toll! Toll!
o, say what it may be7
sulen shore of rock:
A sea snow-white with foam:
ship to meet the dreadful shock:
Its crew to bide their doom.
Toll! Toll! Toll!
Across tho moaning soa;
Toll! Toll Toll!
More and moro mournfully;
For cold and voicelcss there,
With glazed and uncloscd Dyes
Still turned to heaven, as if i'll prayor,-
The prince and Prophet lies,
Mcekly through life he trod
In Christ his Masters ways,
And--joy to thee, thou man of God
Thy work, hcnccforth, is praise.
Tqll! Toll! Toll!
Across the moaning sea;
Toll! Toll! Toll!
More corpscs here there bo
The bridegroom and the bride
Who scarce had pledged their vow,
Embarked upon that roaring tide,
And who shall part them now?
Pillowcd upon the wave,
Hcre sleeps tho maiden fair;
And the frozen wrecks of tho true and Bravo
In conflict mad, by wind and wave,
Are dashed together there.
Toll! Toll! Toll!
Across the moaning sea;
Toll! Tell! Tell!
Slowly and and drearily,
Comes ever anon,
Amidst tho tcmpcst's roar,
That deep and melancholy tone
To tho wild wreck-strewed shore.
No human hand could bring
That strange unearthly knc -
Where the storm-ficnd tapped his icy wing,
Above the waves as they rose and fell
And ticrcely shricked, like ficnd from hell
Alone with death and yet the bell
" With It'll measured beat, like q living thing
That piticd the dead, did slowly swing
Toll! Toll! Toll
AS sad as sad could bo;
Toll! Toll! Toll!
Across the moaning sea.
In holy writ, men say, 'ts found
That angels tread on earthly ground,
And God to them this charge hath given;
When the storms of earth
Bring shipwreck and death,
To save the bright Jewels for Heaven.
Der the pure and fair they loved well,
THEY pealed that passing knell:
Ere the child and the saint were borne to that Shore
Whcro night never comes, and.whcre storms beats
more.
