% The Wings Of Natick, Mass, held an en-
thusastic meeting to receive the report of Hon.
Henry Wilson, their delegate to the National
Convention. After eloquent addresses by Hon,
Henry wilson, Hon. E. L, Reyes, and several
Others the following resolutions were passed with
but one dissenting vote.
ResolUed, That the Late National Convention
at Philadelphia, by nominating man for the
Presidency who has never voted for Wing can
ddate in his ife--who would not agree to sup
port the nominee of the Convention or abide its
decision in any partcuar-who would pledge
himself to no party measures-who, by his own
confession, is wholly ignorant upon those subjects
which must necessarily claim his first attention
as Statesman, and who is VIGOROUSLY opposed
to one of the cardinal doctrines of the Wing
faith, the non-extension ofsavery departed from
the Party Platform, and traitorously and shame.
lessy abandoned its principles; and their con-
duct has left the Wings no alternative but the
reputation of the nomination, or the exhibition
Of the meanest servility and the most unparallel
ed hypocrisy.
ReSOlvrd, That we, the Wings of Natick, art
not so far degraded as to give the lie to all on
past professions; to acknowledge ourselves knave
hvpocrits, slaves and FOOLS for the sake of Whil
victory, which would be victory in name bu
not in fact; and we do therefore repudate thu
nomination Of Zachary Taylor, and will do on
utmost to defeat his election
ResOlUed, That if the questions of Currency
the Tariff, Internal Improvement, &c. are to b
given up, they must, so far as we are concerned
Be sacrificed to the cause Of freedom, and not t
the cause Of Slavery and ace believe that sue
sacrifice is dictated By humanity and sound pot

Gen. TAYLOR in Massachusetts.

The following from the Worcester Spy, shows
something of the spirit which prevails among
the wings of the Old Bay State. Verify, as was
said by Mr.. Campbell, Of Ohio, in the Philadel-
phia Convention, the men who have nominated
one of the greatest shareholders in the country
will find that they 'have sown to the wind and
will reap the whirlwind."
"Sha we, who have battled for great prlnci
pies, and contended for certain rights, surrender
our rights, abandon our principles, and WRIT
ourselves down hypocrites and political knaves!
The Locos did so at the bidding of their South
ern masters in A.? and we termed them sadser'
Uient s1dces. Shall we degrade ourselves b,
doing in '4S Just what we condemned in our OPP
ponents in "A. We have contended all along
up to the present time, that the annexation o
Texas was an outrage upon the Free States
that the war against Mexico was an outrage, am
that the further extension of slavery would be al
outrage. Shall we, at the first word of command
wheel to the right about face, and vote for on

in being a Southern man, and an efficient instru
ment in promoting the very measures we mos
heartily condemn. Will Massachusetts Wing

What Might be Done,
by J. FULLoNToN.

A correspondent of Zion's Herald computes,
mostly from documentary evidence, that church
members in different parts of the world, expend
for intoxicating drinks and tobacco, about one
handred and siry millions Of dollars annually
This would be sufficient to support three hundred
and t,gcnty thousand missionaries, allowing each
five hundred dollars year. To what purpose
is this wasted? Why is all this money, which
belongs to God, spent for that which does Meth
err soul nor body any good, but is injurious to
both? Why all this when millions are perishing
without the Gospel? Will not those who en-
gage in it have solemn account to render in
the day Of judgement! Ifthere is one who reads
this, and feels himself guilty, will he not stop,
reflect, repent, and deny SELF and live wholly for
God and for heaven?

A Coed Mother.

She is good mother who brings up her chill
dren to work-to work in the kitchen, if you
please. We shall never have good buildings
and pies, chowders and fricasees, whilst the la
dies are taught that it is disgrace to learn to
cook. The time may not come when the daugh-
tiers Of wealth shall be obliged totake their stand
in the kitchen-but should they not know how
to bake and to wash! What is young woman
fit for--lo mechanic especially-whose mother
allows her to lie in bed till ten o'clock-and
who, when she rises, sings song or two and
sits down to the last new novel! She may an
swer for the wife of a wealthy fop and mser-
able lfe-mserable indeed-wi she live Far
better for her, no matter what her condition in
after life may be-whether she marres fortune
in gold, or frrtune in real worh--if she is
brought up to work, Her life, in comparison to
one brought up in idIeness and folly, would be a
season of real enjoyment-and the influence she
exerted, would be glorious indeed. What mother
will be so unwise, as to teach her daughters that
to work is degrading while lying in bed, dress
ing in fashion and reading mere trash is eeva-
ting and dignifyingl

The SnYen Children.

Early in the morning, as the day began to
dawn, the devout father Of family arose with
his wife from their couch, and thanked God for
the new day, and for their refreshing slumber.
But the red glow of morning beamed into the
little chamber There their seven children lay
in their beds and slept.
Then they gazed at the children one by one,
AMI the mother said, They are seven in number;
aas it will be hard for us to find them food
Thus sighed the mother, for there was famine
in the land.
But the father smiled and said, Sec do they
not lie there, all the seven! And they all have
red cheeks, and the beams Of the morning
stream over them, so that they appear lovIier
than ever, like seven blooming roses. Mother,
that shows us that He who creates the morn
ing and sends us sleep, is true and unchange-
able
And as they stepped from the chamber, they
saw at the door fourteen shoes in arrow, growing
smaller and smaller, two by two, pair for
each child The mother gazed at Them and
when she saw that there were so many, she
wept.
But the father said, Mother why dost thou
weep Have not all the seven received sound
and active feetl Why, then, should we be anx-
ious about that which covers theml 1.-THE chill.
dren have confidence in US, should we not have
confidence in Him, who can do more than we
can comprehendl
See, his sun risothl Come, then, like it let u:
begin our days work with cheerful counte
nance
Thus they spoke, and toed at their labors
and God blessed the work of their hands, ant
they had egough and to spare, they and theil
seven children; for faith gives strength and cour
age, and love eevates the soul

Religious.
How near is Heaven,

Christians sometimes, says an intelligent wri-
ter, look far away to the blissful seats of their
destined rest. But it is not far The clouds
that hide the shining world are thine; they are
transient, and soon will obscure no more The
journey may end this hour--one short step may
place him in the world of delights. One dark
hour may hang upon him; but the morning comes
and no shade behind it. Day, bright, peaceful,
and eternal, succeeds A pang may wound for
fct, sharp and painful may continue for night
but victory, eternal victory, ensues. How soon
o, how soon the Christians cares are DER, his
struggling soul at rest, his eyes suffused no more

withtears Near at hand is the land of his pur-
suit. Hope cheers. How glorious the object
that hope embraces; how holy its spritl Who
can contemplate the home our heavenly father is
fitting for his children, and not feel his soul
athirst for its enioyments and employments .
Well, those delights, that happy cline, those eV-
err verdant plains, are not far distant,

Christian Conversation,

A young gentleman was requested by his ia
Their to light an aged friend to his home, one
dark night in winter, in country village. On
the road, the old gentleman said to him, "My
young friend, will you try to remember the fol
lowing words! Then they that feared the Lord
spake often one to another; and the Lord h ark
ened and heard it, and book of remembrance
was written before him for them that feared the
Lord and that thought upon his name, And
they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts in
that day when | make up my jewels; and will
spare them as a man spareh his own son that
serveth him. Then shall ye return and discern
between the righteous and the wicked, between
him that serveth God and him that serveth him
not Nal. 3: l6-lS." The boy went home
and learned the passages it was infxed upon his
mind so that he never forgot it. 1t is still a IA
vorite text. He is now an active and pous min
lister, the rector of large parish, and has the
care Of two thousand souls, who all look up tc
him as father and friend His influence
reaches far and wide, and his example is produ-
