Spring.

What music there is in the word The biting
blasts of winter are gone; the snow is gone the
ice is gone. Earth is drinking up the tertilizng
showers, and is slowly and softly putting on her
green mantle The buds are swelling out on
the trees, and are we'll nigh ready TO burst forth
into new and luxurant verdurc The violet and
the primrose, the crocus and the crowfoot, here
and there appear in modest beauty. The morn
ing sun shines forth joyously in the deep azure,
lighting up thousand miniature reflections in this
crystal bosom of the dew-drop. The soft south
ern breeze gently fans the smouldering ashes of
a by-gone vegetation into renewed life, youth
and loveliness. Welcome Spring, emblem OHIO
ping, trustful youth--gentle, generous, promising
Of all the seasons, Spring is that to which we
look forward with the most hopeful anticipations;
it is the season ofhope-of promise. 1t is really
and truly the beginning of new year. 1t is a
new lfe-a resuscitaton, revivihcation. The
days of darkness are past; the days of deafness
and dreariness are past; the days of FROST and
snow, and cold, are over and gone. The time
for the singing of birds has Gomez the time for
the budding forth of flowers has Gomez the time
for cheerful sunshine and radiance has come
We will greet thee, youthful Spring, with kiss
of welcome And as we scatter plentifully the
seed which we expect will grow up and ripen in
due season into plentiful harvest, let us not for
get to sow also broadcast and with liberal hand,
the seed of truth this, too, will take root; and
grow up, and ripen, and bring forth abundanty'

Texas.

The State Democratic Convention of Texas
met at Austin, on the 2lst ut., Governor Wood
presiding. Among the resolutions adopted were
the following:
"ReSOlccd, That we do not doubt the deter.
mnation of the present Administration and Of
the Democratic party to respect and maintain the
true boundaries of Texas. The map compiled
under the direction of the Secretary of State Of
the United States, and used in the negotiations
and legislation on the subject of annexation
embraces the full limits claimed by us; and the
resolutions of Congress, under which annexation
was effected, contemplate the existence of suf-
icient quantity of our present territory north Of
the Missouri compromise line for the formation
of one or more additional States, to the erection
of which the consent of Texas is made necessary
by the same resolutions"
The Convention also adopted the following
"Rcsolced That as Texans we will support
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the
United States, such individuals OF the Democrat
ic party as will maintain the Federal comprom-
Uses on the subject of Slavery, and maintain the
establishment of our boundary, as defined by the
laws of the late Republic of Texas"

boundary of Texas to the Rio Grande, so as to

Mother, is God Dead?

There lived in the east of Scotland pious
clergyman who had presided, for a number of
years, over small but respectable congregation.
In the midst of his active career of usefulness he
was suddenly removed by DEATH leaving behind
him wife, and number ofhelpless children.
The small stipened allowed him by his con-
gregation had been barely sufficient to meet the
expenses of his family and at his death no visible
means were left for their support. The death
of her husband preyed deeply upon the heart Of
the poor afflicted widow, while the prospect
which the future presented, filled her mind with
the most gloomy apprehensons. BY her lonely
Preside she sat-the morning after her sad be-
eavement-lamenting her forlorn and destitute
condition, when her little son, boy of five years
of age. entered the ROOM Seeing the deep dis
tress of his mother, he stole softly to her side,
and placing his hand in hers looked wistfully
into her face and said
"Mother mother, is God dead 2"
Soft as the gentle whisper of an angel did the
gentle accent fall upon the ear of the dlsconsol-
ate and almost heart broken mother. A CLEAN
of heavenly radiance lighted for moment her
pale features When, snatching up her lit e
boy, and pressing him fondly to her bosom, she
exclaimed,
"No, no, my son, God is not dead; he lives
and has promised to be father to the father
less, husband to the widow. His promises are
sure and on them we can steadfastIy rely"
Her tears were dried, and her murmurings
forever hushed The event proved that her con-
fidence was not misplaced The congregation
over whom her husband had worthily presided,
generously settled upon her handsome annuity,
by which she was enabled to support her family,
not only comfortably, but genteelly. The tai
ents of her sons, as they advanced in years, soon
brought them into notice, and finally procured
them high and honorable positions in society.

Tbe family GtrtIe,
Written at my Mothers Grave.

Written at my Mothers Grave,
The trembling dew-drops fall
Upon the shutting flowers, like souls at rest,
The stars shine gloriously, and all
Save me, are blest.
Mother, l love thy grave!
The violet, with its blossoms blue and mild,
Waves DER thy head, when shall 1t wave
Above thy child?
IT'S sweet flower, yet must
Its bright leaves to the coming tempest bow;
Dear mother, It's thine emblem; dust
Is on thy brow.
And could love to die;
To leave untasted lifes dark, bitter streams
By thee, as erst in childhood, lie,
And share thy dreams.
And must linger here,
To stain the plumage ofmy sinless years,
And mourn the hopes to childhood dear
With bitter tears.
Ay, must linger here,
A lonely branch upon wither'd tree,
Whose last frail leaf, untimely sere,
Went down with thee
Oft, from life's wither'd bower,
In still communion with the past, turn,
And muse on thee, the only flower
In memoy's urn.
And when the evening pale
Bows, like a mourner, on the dim, blue wave,
I stray to hear the night-winds wall
Around thy grave.
Where is thy spirit fown'
I gaze above-thy look is imaged there,
Ilisten-and thy gentle tone
Is on the air.
O, come while here press
My brow upon thy grave; and, in those mild
And thrilling tones of tenderness,
Bless, bless thy child!
Yes, bless your weeping child;
And DER thine urn--religon's hottest shrine
o, give his spirit undefeld,
To blend with thine.
