eMy sons-if you will let my bones lie quiz
ct in the grave, near the dust of your mother,
depart not from my burial, till, in the name of
God and Christ, you promise to love one anoth-
er as you used to do. Dear boys, receive my
blessing.
Some turned their heads away to hide the
tears that needed not be hidden-and when the
brothers had released each other from a long
and sobbing embrace, many went up to them
and in a single word or two expressed their JOY
at this perfect reconcilement. The brothers
themselves walked away from the church yard,
with the minister to the Manse. On the fol-
lowing Sabbath, they were seen sitting, With
their families, in the same pew, and it was OBJ
served they read out of the same bible, when
the minister gave outthe text; and that they
sang together; taking hold of the same psalm
book. The same psalm was sung, (given out
at their requst,) of which one verse had been
repeated at their fathers grave; a larger sum
than usual was on that Sabbath found on the
plate for the poor, for Love and Charity are
sisters. And ever after, both during the peace
and troubles ofthis life, the hearts of the broth
ers were as one, and in nothing were they di-
vided.

A BEAUTIFUL LETTER.-The following ex-
q~uisitely feminine and eloquent epistle was
written by the celebratedMrs Godolphin to her
husband, a few days before her death. She
had been one of the beauties of Charles the Sec
ond's Court, but successfully resisting the bland
lshments of that corrupt circle, had resigned,
and married Mr.. Godolphin, afterwards the
celebrated Lord Godolphin.-Evelyn, who
knew Mrs. Guell, calls her 'his deal saint, 1t
is needless to say her husband never married
again-how could he after the loss of such a
wife
'My deare, not knowing how God Almighty

leive me, that of all earthly things you were

GEN. TAYLoR-THE ADMINIsTRATIoN.--"I
know not how others felt,' said Gen. Taylor,
in one of his brief and beautiful replies to the
complimentary address made to him in New
Orleans, ''but for myself, how much soever l
may forget, in the hour of battle, the sad con-
sequences of the strife, they always rush upon
my mind afterwards, making my heart sink
and causing me ofeel like a child. had hoped
to have done more for my country than have.
l thought l might have been enabled to accom-
plish a speedy and honorable peace-an eUent
essential to the 10clfarc of both countries and
particularly so to our oen."
How different the tone and sentiment breath
ed in this simple yet touching %effusion from
the spirit that coldly runs through the Presi-
dent, official remarks on the subject of the
war;
Whatever stress may be laid upon the idea o.
compelling Mexico to make peace on the basi:
ofour demands; how plausibly soever these de
mands may be CLOSED under the vague gener
a~lities of indemnity for the past and security
for the future, . the belief, we presume, is al
most universal that the presidents policy o
carrying the war with renewed force into tht
vital parts of the enemy's country, and of con
tinuing to strike a PROSTATE adversary, will no
result in any peace save such as may be enfor
ced by the occupation of the whole country AM
the continued presence of our armies there.
The view presents a gloomy prospect. W.
turn from it to find relief and a cheerful hope il
the language of the brave warrior, who, in thu
usages of camps and the strife of battles, pre-
serves a heart full of the kindest human sym
pathies and a head always clear, intelligen
and self possessed. A speedy and an honor
able peace is, indeed, ssau event essential t.
the welfare of both countries, and particular,
so to our own" The course of the Admins
t%ration gives no hope of such a peace.-Bal

ssBoth the Democratic papers of this city

with the utmost warmth the recommendation
of the Secretary of the Treasury in favor of a
tax on tea and coffee. There can be no doubt
that DIRECT TAXATION is essentially Dem
Ocratic,and has only to be brought fairly be-

Bishop Hughes Discourse at Washington.



Bishop Hughes being in Washington, John GUM
waited on him on Friday, the 10th inst, requesting
him, at the same time, to deliver a discourse on Sun
day, the 18th inst, in the Capital. He accepted of the
invitation, and the following notice of the discourse
is from the Washington correspondent Of the Charles
ton News
The Hall ofthe House was densely filled. The
text selected was the Goth chapter of Matthew aad
the goth verse, and the subject, the condition of hui
man nature at the time of the coming of the Savior,
the direct object of the mission, the principles by
which the amelioration of the world has been achiev-
ed, and the application of the principles so far as
they have been applied to the moral. social and polit-
ical condition of mankind. The Bishop spoke in a
clear and musical tone; his remarks were not doc
trinal, and were such that not even the most rigid
Puritan could reject. But without givingyou an out
liue of the Sermon, l merely design the comparison by
the reverend gentleman of Washington and Napoleon,
and twas thus delivered:
''In our own country there was one great man,
who approached as near to the Sayior's precepts as
man could approach. How important that we
should keep his conduct before our mindsl how
necessary in a country like this, in which God
raised up, SO singularly, a public deliverer. That
country, worthy of its origin and destiny, may
become the medium of benefaction on the whole hui
man race.
"When l think of that deliverer, almost without
perception, in youth working for the cause of his coun-
try, and, as his country's son, making sacrifices for
her, yet with a modest and human dignity which
makes the life of him a kind of solitary biography in
the history of the human race, l am led to the conclu-
sion that, like the history of the creation of the world,
it has nothing else to compare with it.
.When 1 think of his feelings of humanity, his
honor to the mother whom he served, and whose
chains he had broken; when / see him voluntarily
(may we not hope with Christian emotions) turning
aside from the dazzling prospects, to other eyes. which
succeeded his efforts; when we behold this, we behold
a spectacle which would be engraven on the hearts o.
our countrymen.
"You have seen, on the contrary, a man almost
similar in his career: but in its termination how dis.
astrous! With the example of George Washington
before him, you see him during the revolution of an.
/ other empire, in Europe. Without presenting early
manifestations of singular talent to attract the atten.
ton of the country, you see him, with a sudden i'm.
pulse spring from the soldiers tent to the kinqlv
throne! And on the throne ofthe country which h
serves, is he disposed to minister to the happiness OF
othersa Is he disposed to abridge the extent of the
power of his greatnessl Alas, no! His career was
like the flight ofthe meteor; it astonished the upturned
eyes of the world. 1t was as bright, asbrilliant, and
as glorious!

seen a number of miniatures taken by thisgen-
tleman, which we think are excellent, better
than usual, and as it may be some time before
another artist visits US, we would advise all
who have any desire to possess a likeness of
themselves to pay him a visit before he leaves.
He takes miniatures without regard to the
weather, at prices from l,50 to $500.
