THE CaNsTANcY OF WoMAN.--DuriDg
the Kenton Circuit Court in Kentucky,
says the Chronicle, which terminated its
session on Tuesday last, three men were
arraigned, tried and condemned, on the
charge of coming and passing counterfeit
money, one of whom, in consequence of
mental imbecility, was recommended by
the Jury to executive clemency. He was
accompanied to the bar of the Court by
bis wife, who was a woman apparently
about twenty-five years old. During his
trial she sat by his side with troubled,
downcast look, occasionally gazing in the
face of her unfortunate husband. And
when the jury returned to the bar of the
Court, 10 announce their verdict of his
guilt, she still remained by his side, and
heard it with an apparent tranquil resigna-
ton, which smothered from the public eye
the working sorrow of her heart. As soon
as their Recommendation was announced,
she procured petition, and with a pen
and ink went among the jury, the members
of the bar, and the spectators, and obtained
their signatures to it for his pardon. The
faithful labors of this devoted wife have
we understand, already procured an Exec.
utive pardon for her husband. He was
ransomed from felon's fate and a felon's
cell by a woman's love-which were stron.
ger than her husbands infamy and misfor-
tune. A wife's love for her husband, even
while he is stepped in infamy, is stronger
than her love for herself.

he didn't do as his Savior did-ride an ass,

DON'T BE IN A HURRY TO GET
RICH.

Gradual gains are the only natural gains;
and they who are in haste TO get rich, break
through sound rules, fall into temptations,
and distress of every sort, and generally fail
of their object. There is no use in getting
rich suddenly. The man who keeps his
business under his control, and saves some
thing every year is always rich. At any
rate he possesses the highest enjoyment tina,
riches are able to afford.

A MOTHERS BLESSING.

BY E. N. MOUNTAIN.
Mother! send me but thy blessing
IT'S the gift l highest prize;
Other Gems may go amissing;
This O! this is in the skies,
Like the iris bright to cheer me,
When the floods Of sorrow roll;
Like the summer shower when weary.
Shedding freshness to my soul!
l can raise my face to heaven,
Think that have treasured there;
The promise that my God hath given
To mothers lervent prayer;
And that promise and that blessing
Never, never can deceive.
Other gifts may go amssing,
These attend me while l live.

From the noise and the tumult
I've hied me away,
To spend in the forest
The warm sultry day.
The waters that ripple
So joyous along.
With The birds and the breezes,
Make eloquent song.

My dearest, my own;
And list 10 sweet music
As ever was known.

When balmy breezes glad,
Shake the golden corn,
Will no one mourning sad,
Come there at morn?
With all the love and sorrow.
Smiles and happy hours,
Lie in my lonely barrow,
Like faded flowers?
Will hopes Of youthful days,
Bright as summer sky,
Tales Of love and lovers lays,
Unremembered die?
Oh no! one will come
Soft as the flower
Seeming the desert lone
After the shower,
And DER my lonely Tomb.
Like hopes and fears,
Wild flowers will sweetly bloom
Gemm'd with her tears,
Fragrant as summer gale.
