A smile upon some kindred face,
When human hearts with grief are bowed,
Is like the golden rays that chase
The darkness frum the summer cloud.
1t lifts, and thrills, and brings cheer
To gid with 10y the saddest hours,
And sparkles on the soul as clear
As dews that sleep on fainting flowers.

STANZAS--TO MY MOTHER.
BY MRS. 9. e. ALDEN


BY MRS. 8. E. ALDEN.
There's music in a mothers voice,
There's loves soft gentle tone,
Which thrills the heart with ecstacy,
And bids its homage own.
IT'S the first music that we hear,
The first that greets our welcome ear.
There's music in mothers sigh,
There's sorrow, grief and woe,
That fills the soul with silent fear,
While tears unbidden flow.
IT'S the first lesson to us given,
That earth, tho fair, is not like Heaven.
There's music in mothers joy,
There's friendship, hope and love,
1t sheds deep pleasure round her home,
IT'S bright like that above,
And to the youthful heart it seems,
An extract pure from heavenly streams.
There's music in mothers love,
There's melody so sweet,
That all the passions Of the soul,
In harmony do meet;
Its balmy sounds allay our fears,
Like angels notes of yon bright spheres.
And when that voice is hushed in death,
Its echoes may hear,
As gently DER my trembling heart,
They vibrate soft and clear;
Its music then will cheer and bless
Guiding to endless happiness.

Shelving deficiency OF 226,500. or about
one-third Of last years supply. The returns,
we are assured, are SO nearly complete from all
points except the last, that they may be con
sidered as ascertained. AT Cincinnati there
was deficiency shown on the lst January OF
10000 hogs killed less than the proceeding
year, aad the number in the pens and arriving
was unusually SMALL so that ii may be con-
sidered very safe to set down the whole def,

The trade, We learn, estimate II above 100000.
When ii is recollected that unusually large
quantities Of Pork have been packed for for
eign markets on English account, and that the
supplies required by Government Tor the Ar
my and Navy are much greater than in time
OF peace, il is easy 10 be seen that the deticien-
cy in the quantity remaining for home con-
sumption must lie quite serious; perhaps
amounting TO as much as one half OF lasl years

ELECTION OF SENAToR.-The Legislature
Of Virginia yesterday, succeeded, after SIX bal
lots, several of which were very close, in elect
ing the Hon. r. M. T. HUNTER, as a Senator
of the United States from the 4th of March
next. This result was, Of course, produced
BY a combination of the Wing vote with that
Of Mr.. HUNrER's peculiar friends, some TWEEN
ty-three in number. The Wings have, in our
Judgment, acted not only with proper regard
to representative duty in falling upon the least
Objectionable of the candidates of the opposite
party, but also with polite wisdom which,
in regard TO their own interests, they will new
or have reason to regret. II is with US sut-
ficient proof of the propfiety of their course,
that we know the administration at w ashng-
ton to be bitterly opposed to the election OF Mr.
Hunter. His success Is no concession OF the
Wing party to his peculiar views on most OF
the questions of the day. They have elected
him, believing that in the high station OF Sen
ator, he will be CoNsERv ALIVE /; thai he will
not be the passive instrument ofthe Executive
will and that, especially in all questions arl-
sing out Of the Mexican war, which the ad-
ministration seeks 10 make party issue, he
will oppose all such polltico-mllitary measures
as the appointment of Lieutenant General,
against which he has already voted.
The Wing members, most justly, paid the
Hon. WIN S. ARCHER the compliment, OF yo-
ting for him in body, at the first ballot
