RELIGION.
EY WILLIAM LEGGETT.

Like snow that falls where waters glide,
Earth's pleasures fade away;
They melt in Times destroying tide,
And cold are while they stay!
But joys that from Religion flow,
Like stars that gid the night,
Amidst the darkest gloom of wo,
Smile forth with sweetest light.
Religions ray no clouds obscure,
But DER the Christians soul
It sends its radiance calm and pure,
Though tempests round it roll
His heart may break with sorrows stroke,
But to its latest thrill,
Like diamonds shining when they're broke,
Religion lights it still!

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY-Njght kissed
the young rose, and i! bent softly to sleep.
And the stars shone, and pure drops hung
upon its blushing bosom, and watched its
gentle SAUNDERS. Morning came with dane
ing breezes, and they whisperedto the young
rose, and it awoke, joyous and smiling
Lightly it danced to and fro in all the love-
illness of health and v ou,hful innocence.
Then came the ardent sun sweeping
from the East, and he smo!e the yong rose
with the golden shaft, and it tainted
Deserted and almost beart-broken it drop
ped to the dust in its loneliness and des-
pair.
Now, the gentle breeze, which had been
gamboling over the sea, pushing on the light
bark, sweeping over hill and dale, by the
neat cottage and the still brook, tanning the
fevered brow Of disease, and tossing the curls
of innocent childhood, came tripping along
on the errands of mercy and love; and when
she hss,ened to kiss it, and fondly bathed
its forehead in cool refesssing showers, the
young rose revived, looked up and smiled,
flung its ruddy arms as if in gratitude to en-
brace the kind breeze; but she hurried
quickly away when her generous task was
performed; yet not without regard, for she
soon perceived that delicious fragrance
had been poured on her wings by the CRATE
full rose, and the kind breeze was glad in
her heart, and went away singing through
the trees.
Thus, true charity, like the breeze which
gathers as it refreshes, unconsciously reaps
q reward in the performance of its offices of
kindness and love, which steals through
the heart like rich perfume to bless and to
cheer.
FRANKL1N's ToAsT.-Long after Wash
ingtons' victories over the French and Eng
7ish had made his name familiar to all Eu-
rope. DR.. franklin had CHANGED to dine with
the English and French ambassadors, when
as nearly as we can recoIlect the words, the
following ,oas,s were drunk. By the Brit
ish ambassador EnglanJ-the sun whose
brigh. beams enligh,en and f1uc,ify the re-
hottest corners Of the earth" The French
ambassador, glowing with national pride,
but too polite to dispute the previous toast,
drank: "France-,he moon, whose mild,
steady, and cheering rays are the delight of
all nations: consoing them in darkness and
making their dreariness beautiful" Doct.
franklin then rose and with his usual dig
ni6ed simplicity, said: "George flashing
ton-the Joshua, arho commanded the sun
and moon to stand still, and they obeyed
him.

GAM1NG.--Burgh in his dignity Of Human
Nature sums up the evils Of this practice in
single paragraph:
"Gaming is an amusement wholly un.
worthy of rational beings, having neither the
pretence of exercising the body, of exerling
ingenuity, or OF giving any natural pleasure.
and owing its only entertainment wholly to
unnatural and viliated taste; the cause Of
infinite loss Of time, of enormous destruction
of money, irritating the passions, of stirring
up avarice, of innumerable tricks and frauds.
OF encouraging idIeness. of disgusting people
against their proper empluyments, and of
sinking and debasing all that is truly great
and valuable in the mind"
Let me warn you, then, my young rea-
dcrs; nay, more, let me urge you never to
enter this dreadful road. Shun itsas you
would the road to destruction. Take moi
the first step-,he moment you do, all may be
lost. Say not that you command yourself,
and stop when you approach the confines
of danger. So thousands have thought as
sincerely as yourselves; and yet they fell.
THE probabilities that we shall fall when
so many have fallen" says Dr. Dwight, ARE
millions to one; and the contrary opinion IS
onlv the dream of lunacv.--Doctor Alcott.
EvEN1NG.-Thcre are two periods in the
life of man in which the evening hour is
peculiarly interesting; in youth and old age
In youth we love II for its mellow moonlight
its million STARS, its then and soothing shades.
its still serenity; amid these we can COM
mune with our loves, or twine the wreathes
Of friends while there is noIe to bear us
witness but the heavens and the spirits that
hold their endless sabba N there; or look into
the bosom of creation. and look and listen
till we can almost sec and hear the waving
wings and melting songs Of other worlds.
To youth the evening is delightful; it accords
with the flow Of his light spirits. the terv"r
fhis fancy, and The soflness of his heart.
Evening is also the delight of slrtuous age; 1t
affords hours of undisturbed contemplation;
il seems an emblem of the calm and tran
quill close ofbusy life; serene, placid and mild,
the impress of its great creator stamped up
on it, it spreads its quiet wings over the
grave and seems to promise that all shall be
peace beyond II.

The affair between Mr.. Benton and Mr..

it is the subject of much remark every where.

however, from any one connected with the par

the course of proceeding has been and what
the state OF the matter now is.
General Foole of Mississippi, first waited on
Mr.. Benton with message from MIR. Butler.
Mr.. Benton declined to consider it, for the rea.
SON that he and Mr.. Foote were not on very
friendly terms. Mr.. Reverdy Johnson, as Inc
friend of Mr.. Butler, then waited on Mr.. Ben
ton with a similar message and received no
satisfactory reply. Mr.. Johnson asked MIR.
Benton if he should report to his principal that
he. Mr.. Benton. would refuse the challenge or
challenge. "a direct challenge cannot De
given or accepted in this district. Mr.. Benton
was therefore justified in stating to Judge Dun'
Ian that no challenge had been sent him. mr.
Benton replied tha, he did not wish that answer

no, prepared to reply Immediately, being much
engaged in business consequent on the close OF
the session, and that he wished time tor dellbe'

have reason to believe this to be the substance
of the reply.
MIR. Reverdy Johnson, after some interval
sent note to MIR. Benton requsiing reply
and farther stating it no reply should be made
within certain time, he should feel it reqnls,'e
to announce to the public, as the friend ct Mr.
Butler, that he, MIR. Benton, had refused 10
fight. No answer was made to this within 'he
time. and Mr.. Butler has left the city. -.
The next thing will probably be Pao,'cs'

I understand, further, that an effort was
made, in the first place, to bring about recon-
cilia,ion, which was on utter failure.
