The wings get very angry when they are told
that Gen. Taylors election is not wing victory,
but the Philadelphia North American emphati-
cally confirms that assertion by proposing to drop
all other names, and to baptise the opposition
the "Taylor republican party"

other, and with the benifcent Father of
them all. Could he further see that pain
and mortality were there unknown; and a.
bove all, that signals of welcome were hung
out, and an avenue of communication was
made for him-perceive you not that what
was before the wilderness, would become
the land of invitation; and that now the
world would be the wilderness: What un-
peopled space could not do, can be done by
space teeming with beati6c scenes and bea-
tifc society. And let the existing tenden-
cies of the heart be what they may to the
scene that is near and visible around us, stlI
if another stood revealed to the prospect of
man, either through the channel of faith, or
through the channel of his senses-then,
without violence done to the constitution
of his moral nature, may he die unto the
present world, and live to the lovelier world
that stands in the distance away from it

THE WORLD AND HEAVEN.

Conceive man 10 be standing on the
margin of this green world and that, when
he looked towards it, he saw abundance
smiling upon every field, and all the bless
ings tina, earth can afford, scattered in pro-
fusion throughout every family, and the
light of The sun sweellv resting upon all the
pleasant habilalions, and the joys OF human
companionship Frightening many happy
circle Of socIely-concelve this 10 be the
general character Of the scene upon one side
Of his contemplation; and that, on The other,
I hey nd the verge of the goodly planet on
which he was situated, he could descry no.
thing but dark and falhomless unknown.
Think you that he would bid voluntary
adieu to all the brightness and all the beau
~ that were before him upon earth, and
commit himself TO the frighlful solitude a.
way from it? Would he leave lis peopled
dwelling places, and become solitary wan
derer in The fields Of nonentlly: II space
offered him nothing bu, a wilderness, would
he for it abandon the homebred scenes OF
life and of cheerfulpess that lay SO near, and
exert such a power Of urgency to detaIn
him? Would not he cling to the regions
of sense, and of life, and OF society ?-and
shrinking away from the desolalion that was
beyond it, would not he be glad to keep his
firm footing on the territory Of this world
and to take shelter under the silver canopy
that was stretched over it.?
But if dnring the time Of his con'empla-
ton, some happy island of the blest had
foaled by; and there had burst upon his
senses the light of its surprising glories and
its sound of sweeler melody; and he clear
ly saw, that there purer beauty rested up
on every field, and more heartfelt JOY
spread itself among all the families; and he
could discern there peace, and pie'y and
benevolence, which put moral gladness
into every bosom, and united the whole So
cie'y in one rejoicing sympathy with each

MISCELL A n EOUS
A BEAUTIFUL SKETCH.
THE MOTHER.
BY HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSON.


There sat mother with little child
She was SO downcast, SO afraid that it would
die. 1t was SO pale: the small eyes had
closed themselves; it drew its breath so
softly, and now and then with deep respi-
ration, as if it sighed and the mother look
ed still more sorrowful on the little crea-
ture.
Then knocking was heard at the door.
and in came poor old man. wrapped up as
IN horse cloth, for it warns one, and he
needed ii as it was cold winter Everything
outof doors was covered with ice and snow.
snd the wind blew so tina, ii Gu, the face.
As the old man trembIed with cold, and
the little child SLEPT moment, the mother
went and poured some ale into pint pot.
and setit'on the stove tina, it might be warm
ed for him; the old man sat and rocked the
cradle, and the mother sat down on a chair
close by him, looked at her little sick child
that drew its breath SO deep, and raised its
little hand.
do you think that shall save him -
said she, "our Lord will not take him from
me?''
And the old man, it was Death himself
nodded SO strangely, it could just as well
signify yes as no.
And the mother looked down in her lap.
and the tears ran down over her cheek :
her head became SO heavy she had not
closed her eyes for three days and nights
and now she slept, but only for minute.
when she started up and ,rembled with
cold. "What is tina. ~ said she, and look
ed on all sides; but the old man was gone
and her little child was gone-he had taken
it with him: and the old clock in the cor
ner buried, and buried the great loaded
weight ran down to the floor bump and
then the clock also stood still.
But the poor mother ran out of the house
and cried aloud for her child
Out there, in the midst Of the snow, there
sa, woman in long blssk clothes and she
said-"Dea,h has been in thy chamber, and
saw him hasten away with thy little child
he goes faster than the wind and he never
brings back whom he takes -

the whole two pounds in the fire as not"

''Do you dare me to do it ;" shouted Z.

landlord.
No sooner said than done. Will, NUT
tered remark about stalking a dare from any
man." z. dashed the bundle among the baz-
ing brands and sprang towards the door,
followed by the landlord.
Heavens and earth, what a scattering -
No one stopped to shove back his chair
every thing turned a complete somerset; and,
gathering themselves up as quick as they
could disenangle arms and legs from the
confused mass, erybody shot for the doors
and windows, without stopping TO look be-
hind him.
One man whose pluck has been tried on
ordinary occasions, vanished through the
back door, jumped fve-foot fence without
breaking his ,ro, and was last seen streak
ing it down back street, yelling murder at
the top of his voice, and once in a while
looking backwards, to dodge the falling
timber.
Another long-legged individual, who is
built up like pair Of tongs, made but three
long strides across tifty-foot street, and
headed up lane, leaning forward at an
angle of fortyfve degrees, putting down his
long spars like the bucket of steamboat
wheel, with his coat tail streaming behind
him like the tail of comet. While one
courageous citizen, perceiving both doors
and windows hopelessIy wedged, scrambled
behind door and commenced praying most
devou!y ; but being rather more familiar
with any other sort Of composition than
the Lords Prayer, he was heard vocifera,-
ing, in tones of mos. energetic devotion,

To this day, if you talk of ''rabbit hunt
ing" in the presence ofany of those concern
ed, he will take off his coat in two minutes.

A Coop WIFE.-A friend of ours who
has been spending a few weeks in the
''country." and who visited some Of the pri-
vale dwellings Of the rustic inhabitants, tells
of singular old man who lives near Brook
field. lie is somewhat noted for his odd
expressions. He was one day visited BY
small party of ladies and gentlemen, who
went to hear his stalks "Now young gen
said he, 81 will give some direc-
lions how to tell good wife. A good wife
will be like three things, and she will not
be like them. She will be like the snail,
who stays at home, and she will no, be like
the snail who carries all he has on his back.
She will be like the echo, that speaks when
spoken to, and she will not be like the
echo, always to have the last word. She
will be like the ,own-clock, that speaks a,
the right time, and she will not be like tbs
Town clock, heard all ouer town."

P 0 E T r Y /.
THE OLD BACHELOR.

APARoDY.
Not laugh was there, nor sign of smile,
AS our friends to the bridal we hurried;
We thought of the pain he would suffer the while,
For he looked so confoundedly Hurried.
we saw him stand up, and we pitied him too,
AS the parson the dread knot was tying;
sHe trembed so much, his phz so blue,
THAT we feared the poor fellow dying.
We escorted him home that bright summer eve,
When pale from his bridal returning
Wespoke but few words, and most sorely did grieve,
A bachelor had no more discerning.
Tine fellow as mad as the ID, we said,
Hesknew that we said it in sorrow-
We theered him, but sighed to think that his head
Would wofully ache on the morrow.
And who would have thought that one SO like him,
o>shy of the girls had found him.
Would ever have had his eye sight SO dim
AS to fall in the moose that bound him
'Twas-sad to US sadness could be,
That advice in vain we'd been giving,
That instead of confined, he might have been free,
At this moment in sngIeness living.
We cheered the poor fellow well as could,
And thought he was surely repenting,
But now twas too late-he could not if he would
Sohe gave up all thought of relenting.
We carried him home, and put him to rest,
- oz1d - eel fast as did it,
y lin, we knew twas no jest,
Though he thought that his sad smile hid it.
And sadly we talked of his blessedness gone
How each bachelor now would upbraid him,
He said he cared not, so they'd let him sleep on,
Meath the counterpart, just as they lad him.
Slowly and sadly did we all walk down,
From his room in the uppermost story;
We vowed that his should ne'er be our own
Whom we left not alone in his glory

KILLING THE BUFFALO.

No animal requires so much killing as
the Buffalo. Unless shot ,hronh the lungs
or spine, they invariably escape; and even
thus MORALLY wounded, or struck through
the heart, they will frequently run consid~
cradle distance before falling to the ground,
particularly if they see the hunter after the
wound is given. If however he keeps him
self concealed after the firing, the animal
will remain still, if it does not Immediately
fall. !. is mos. painful sight to witness
The dying struggles Of the huge beast The
Buffalo invariably evinces the greatest re-
pugnance to lie down when MORALLY wound
ed, apparently conscious that when once
touching the mother earth, there is no hope
left him. A bull shot through the heart or
lungs, with.blood streaming from his mouth,
and prolruding tongue, his eyes rolling,
bloodshot and glazed with death, braces
himself on his legs, swaying from side to
side, stamps impa,ienlly at his growing
weakness, or lifts his rugged and matted head,
and helplessly bellows out his conscious i'm
potence. To the last, however he stands
upright, and plants his limbs further apart,
Jul W Nv pun pooC. rs tlIc opuJ IpitSs IthC
a ship a, sea, his head slowly turns from
side to side, looking abou. as j. were for
the unseen and ireacherous enemy, who has
brought him, the lord of the plains, to such
a pass. Drops of purple blood squirt from
his mouth and nostrls, and gradually lbe
failing limbs refuse longer to support the
ponderous carcass; more heavily rolls the
body from side 10 side, until suddenly for
brief instant, i. becomes rigid and slll +;
convuIsive trenor seizes it, and with low,
sobbing gasp. the huge animal falls over on
his side, the limbs extended stark and stiff,
and the mountain of flesh is without life or
motion.
Notwithstanding the great and wan.on
destruction of the Buffalo, many years must
elapse, before this lo'dIy animal becomes
extinct. In spite of their numerous enemies,
they will exist in countless numbers, and
could any steps be taken TO protect them,
as is done in respect 20 other game, they
would ever remain the life and ornament of
the boundless prairles, and afford ample and
never failing provisions to the travellers
over those otherwise deserted plains

All at once an icy cold rushed through
the great hall, and the blind mother knew
that it was Death that came.
How hast thou been able to find thy
way hther?' he asked. "How couldst
thou come quicker than ~
81 am a molher,' said she.
And Death stretched out his long hand
towards the little flower, but she held her
hand tight round his, SO fast and yet afraid
that she should touch one of the leaves
Then Death blew on her hands, and she felt
that it was colder than The cold wind, and
her hands fell down powerless.
'Thou canst not do any thing against me, y
said Death.
But our Lord can - said she.
81 only do his bidding," said Death. 81
am his gardener; take all his flowers and
trees. and plant them in the great garden. OF
Paradise, in The unknown land but how
they grow there, and how il is there, dare
not tell thee"
give me my chIldn' said the mother,
and she wept and prayed. At once she
seized hold Of two beautiful flowers close
by, with each hand, cried out to Death, 81
will tear all thy flowers of, for ] am in
despair -
"Touch them not,'' said Death. "Thou
sayest thou art SO unhappy, and now thou
wilt make another equally unhappy"
"Anoller molher!' said the poor woman,
and directly let 90 her hold OF both the
flowers
''There thou hast thine eyes, said Death;
81 ished them up from the lake, they shone
SO bright; knew not they were thine
Take them again; they are now brighter
than before; now look down into the deep
well close by, shall tell thee the names Of
the TWO flowers thou wouIdst have pulled
up, and hon wilt see their whole future life;
their whole human existence; see what thou
vast about to disturb and destroy"
And she looked down into the we'll and
i, was a happiness to see how the one be-
came blessing 10 the world, 10 see how
much happiness and joy was felt every
where. And she saw The others life, aud
its sorrow and distress, horror and wretch
edness.
'Bolh of them are Gods will % said
Death.
(Which of them is Mlsfortune's flower,
and which is that Of Happlness? - asked she.
"That will not tell ,hee,' said Death !;
"bul this thou shall know from me, tina, the
one flower was thy own child; it was thy
child's fate thou saw'sl; thy own chlld's
future life"
Then the mother screamed with terror
"Which Of them was my child? Tell it me !!
save the innocent! save my child from all
that misery! rather take it away take it
INTO Gods kingdom! Forget my tears, for
get my prayers, all that have donen'
81 do not understand thee" said Death.
"wiI, thou have thy child again, or shall |
90 with it there, where thou dost not known
Then the mother wrung her hands, fell
upon her knees, and prayed to our Lord
"Oh, hear me not, when pray against thy
will, which is the best. hear me not hear
me notn'
And she bowed her head down in her
lap, and Death took her child, and went
with it to the unknown land!
