In the Senate, the. other day, Mr. Cass urged
the passage Of iheten regiments as the more ne

the treaty wasrecslved. We suppose he relies
upon them as the .rsecurity for the future" 1t
is quite complimentary 10 Herrera and Pena y

terms; but, mind you, while the papers are
being drawn up, Twill just load my pistols, and
have them all ready, you know, in. case you
should want 10 back out, for, TO tell you the
truth, | would sooner trust Camanehe than a
Mexican. OF course we will treat you with the
respect due to the representatives. of magnani-
NOUS nation; but, at the same time, we know,
and YOU know, you are not TO be trusted, and,
therefore, while we are signing the treaty, we
will just call up eight or ten thousand more

MaXims fUr The COndnct Of Life.

Make no promises that you are uncertain of being
able to perform.
Deception begets distrnst. 1t debases a man in his
own eyes. We should have too much pride to deceive
others. The offspring of one deception is legion. 1t
marches to its purposes, accompanied by meanness and
all the petty vices in the calendar.
Fear not to have every action of your life open to
the inspection of mankind. Remember that a nicer
cas@jst than man sees into your least actions. Answer
to Him and fear not the face of man.
Tell not all your thoughts, yet speak the truth always
and boldly.
What you have to do, do quickly, for procrastination
will lead to forgetfulness.
Let not a desire to be thought well of lead you to
exhibit your talents upon all occasions. But greatness
and worth is always clothed in modest exterior. 1t
is the vice of little minds to go abroad gauIily attired
like the butterfly.
Life is too short to be FILTERED away in triAos. Let
no moment pass unemployed. Sleep for the renewal
of exhausted nature, awake to live to the duties of life.
Beware of over-indulgence in meat or drink. Intern
Perance brings no recreation, hut serves only to exhaust
the powers of both body and mind.-Louisiana .4dv.

PRAY that Sermon.

A young l~icentiate, after throwing off a highly
wrought, and, as he thought, eloquent gospel sermon,
in the pulpit and presence of a venerable pastor, So
licited of his experienced friend the benefit of his crit
icisms upon the performance. 81 have but just one
remark to make" was his reply, " and that is, to re-
quest you to pray that sermon" "What do you mean
sir?" 81 mean, literally, just what | say; pray it if
you can, and you will find the attempt a better criti-
cism than any | can make upon it"
The request still puzzled the young man beyond
measure; the idea of praying a sermon was a thing he
never heard or conceived and the singularity of the
suggestion wrought powerfully on his Imagination
and feelings. He resolved to attempt the task, lie
laid his manuscript before him, and on his knees be-
fore God undertook to make it into a prayer. But it
wouldn't pray; the spirit of prayer was not in it, and
that for a very good reason, as he then clearly saw,
for the first time, that the spirit of prayer and piety
did not compose it. For the first time, he saw that
his heart was not right with God; and his conviction
left him no peace until he had "Christ formed in him
the hope of glory" With a renewed heart, he appli-
ed himself anew to the work of composing sermons
for the pulpit; preached again in the presence of the
pious pastor who had given such timely advice; and
again solicited the benefit of his critical remarks. 81
have no remarks to make" was his complacent reply,
"you can pray that sermon"

The death of a true wife is beautifully drawn
IN the annexed portrait by Claiming
How reserve and shrinking d%elicacy threw
a veil over her beautiful character. She was
little known beyond her own home hut there
she silently spread around her that soft, pure
light, the precioUsness of which is never fully
understood till it is quenched. Her calm gen
tie wisdom, ner sweet humility, her sympathy,
which, though tender, was too serene to disturb
her clear PERCEPTION, fitted her to act instructive
", and without the consciousness of either party,
on his more s%anguine, ardent mind. She was
truely a spirit Of good %difusing a tranqniIlzlng
influence mildly to be thought of, and therefore
more sure. The blow, which took her from him,
left a wound which time could not heal. Had
his strength been continued, so that he could
have gone from the house Of mourning to the
haunts of poverty, he would have escaped, for a
good part of the day, the sense of his bereave-
ment. But a few minutes walk in the street, now,
sent him wearled home. There the lowering
eye which, had so long frightened at his en-,
trance, was to shed its mild beam no more
There the voice that daily inquired into his Ia
bors, and like another conscience had Whispered
a sweet approval, was still. There the sympa
thy which had pressed with tender hand bis ach
ing head, and by its nursing care has postponed
the hour Of exhaustion and disease, had gone

He was not, indeed, left alone, for fIial love and
reverence spared no soothing office but these,
though felt and spoken of as most precious, conld
not take the place of what had been removed
This great loss produced no burst of grief. 1t
was still, deep sorrow, the feeling of a mighty
void, the last burden which the spirit can cast
off. His attachment to life from this moment
declined. In seasons of peculiar sensi-
bility he wished to be gone. He kept near him
the likeness of his departed friend, and spoke to
me more than once of the solace which he had
found in it. He heard her voice from another
world and anticipation Of that world, always very
strong, became more vivid and touching"

At my marriage, l appealed to God for the sinceri-
ty ofmy affection, and in his presence vowed to live
with my wife as a good husband in the Lord.
The word of the Lord is, Husbands, love your
wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave
himself for it" $50 ought husbands to love their
wives as their own bodies" "Husbands, dwell with
your wives, as heirs together of the grace of life."-
Has my love come up to this standard? Do seek
the spiritual good of my wife, as earnestly as my own
bodily comfort? Do I act as ifI believed we are one
in the Lord Do watch over her spiritual state, to
quicken her in duty and guard her against sin, and
whisper tender encouragement under dependency
and temptation F.? Do | lead the way in c~ultivating
every Christian grace, and cheer her on to make hel
calling and election sure?
Alas ] have long enjoyed the affections of an ami
able and professedly Christian wife, but have don'
almost nothing that proves a true regard for her bes

interests. I have cared for her temporal wants; but
for all that l have done directly to supply her spiritua
wants, her soul might have starved.
l have not even kept myself acquainted with her
spiritual joys and sorrows, and fears and trials, and
t%riumphs; had she been suddenly taken from me, |
could not have told from her own lips whether she was
waiting for the coming of the Lord Or not. l have
been professedly running the Christian race in COM
pany with the wife of my youth, and yet showed little
sympathy with her, and sought little from her in work
ing out our salvation. l fear | have hindered instead
of helping her. Is this love? the love of a true hus-
band? Do | really desire the eternal well-being Of
the dear partner of my earthly lot? May God grant
me grace to be indeed a Christian husband!

No More Territory.

This doctrine, upon whose basis the larger and
more influential portion of the wing party are en-
deavoring to rally, and secure the nomination of
Mr.. Clay as its exponent, is delusive and danger
Gus. 1t is %delusive, because it will not receive
the appreciation of the American people, 1t is
a war with the destiny of the Anglo Saxon
race" 1t is dangerous, because in drawing in its
support a large share Of the qaasi Anti-slavery
feeling of the country only to be defeated, it will
enable the South to control the action of the
demo cratic party, and through it annex more
slave territory TO the Union, Whereas, if the no
more territory issue were abandoned, and wings
and democrats and liberty men were to put OH
record their determination that no more slave
territory should be admitted to the Union, their
united voice would so control the action of all
