POETR Y.
LOVE THY MOTHER, LITTLE oNE,o

BY emilia"
when thy feeble infant wailing
Trembled first upon the air,
Then thy mothers heart was gushing
Full of gratitude and prayer;
by the tears her checks o'erflowing
AS she scanned thy little face,
by the prayers thy being welcomed,
by her ever fond embrace
Love thy mother, little one
La her arms thy form was folded,
And thy lips her bosom prest;
Gentle were the songs she sang thee.
AS she rocked thee on her breast
by the kiss which met thy forehead,
AS she laid thee on thy bed,
by the lullaby she murmured,
As the pillow met thy head
Love thy mother, little one!
First she told the magic stories,
Which enchanted thy wondering ear
Patient, oft her lip repeated
What her darling loved to hear
When thy toddling feet were trembling,
Firmly by the hand she led;
BY her fond and ceaseIess watching,
BY the love thy path o'erspread-
Love thy mother, little one
All Thy paths her prayers encircle,
Full Of hopes and full of fears;
Like the concavo arching DER thee
Are thy mothers prayers and tears.
Other friends may fawn or falter,
Other friends perchance forget;
Thou hast one can know no changinq
filthy mother liveth yet:
Love thy mother, little one

not been counted fur him, should have
been Just five votes ahead and The She

and which he oblaiEed hy mistake" Let
me now proceed 10 examine the reply of
Mr.. Wadlell. As IL conscious that |
would I've able Ia shnw iha, the mistake
was III the certificate OF tie Inspectors, he
attempts To parry the farce of this expec-
ted proof. by coulending that the ceri!f-
ca,e rs the >uarn return of the lnspeclnIs,
and is conclusive upon the Sheriff. The
Law uron this subject will be fund in The
sth section of the SD chap. Rev. Stat,
and is in these words: 4@a s~
"Immediately after the close Of the Polls at
each aud every place of election, correct ST IT,
nient Of the number given for each Candidate,
and also the names of the persons voting, shall he
made out and signed by the Inspectors, and then
sealed and directed to the Sheriff, which shall be
handed hy some one of tie Inspectors appointed
for the purpose to the Sheriff Of the county, at the
Court House of said county. OH the next day be-
r tween 10 O'Clock A. VI. and 4 O'Clock p. NJ; and
ON the returns being made to tie Sheriff or his
Deputy. he shall, in the presence of the lnspec-
tors, who carried their respective Polls. proceed
10 add the numjer of rotts to him returned, and
the persons having the greatest number of votes
. shall be deemed duly elected; should any two
persons have an equal number Of votes, the She
riff shall decide by his casting vote the person du-
= y elected"
After quoting this law. Mr.. W. pro-
ceeds Ia remark From this section il ap-
pears that the correct statement Of The
nunber of coies given to each candidate,
is The sworn return Of Tie officers appoint
