To bear unshrinking all the blows of fate.
For dream that woe, which thou can'st feel is

Borne with him-this is woman's love
MAS. MORTON.
On scanty bed, in cold and dreary room
slept an infant. A smile was playing on its
dimpled chin, and his hands were elapsed as
in sportive glee. Bending over it, with pale
and anxious eye, was the wasted form of the
once beautiful Ella Morven. A tear was on
her cheek, as she kissed the fair forehead OF
the child, and hushed it quietly to rest. Then
rising, she exclaimed.
oRest thee there, my child, and may thy
young heart meier know the sorrows of thy
mother.
YEARLY. YEARLY passed the time to this
lone and silent watcher. The clock pursued
It's unce asing course from hour to hO1E and
yet she was alone-alone and he thatshould
have been with her there sat at the gaming
table over the wne-cup. o, man! where is
thy heart ?-where is thy vows fondly pledg-
ed scarce three years since, when thou didst
lead that gentle girl to the bridal altar p
| Alas! where many others have been! Ven
geance will follow thee.
The clock struck three, and as its last ring
ing died away step was heard approaching
the door, The wife flew to open it, and
clasping her arms exclaimed:
ooh am so glad you have come, Frank,
for have been lonely. very lonely" and the
bright tears gathered in her eyes.
The husband gazed upon her-a moment,
then casting her from him, exclaimed in a
harsh voice, "Why have you awaited my
coming Did not bid you otherwise 2"
"But thought you would be cold and
hungry" she meekly replied.
Hungry! Ella, hungry! no; l've had
enough for one night. Pm ruined, utterly
ruined"
"But, Frank, why do You play?
"And what would you have me 10 do
Ella? Work cannot-beg l will not
There is no other alternative. And my
father has done it-he has made me what
am, and he may"
"Stay, stay, Frank curse him not; he is
thy father yet. But say, only say that you
will relinquish the gaming table, and all will
be we'll" Saying this, she led him to the
bedside of the sleeping child. For mo-
ment his heart seemed softened, then again
his fury returned.
"And my father can know this" muttered
he through his clenched teeth, and withhold
his helping hand"
His wife perceived the change, and gently
leading him away, placed before him neat
but simple repast He ate but little, for his
heart was full, and soon retired. Ella kneeled
by his bedside, and offered her nightly prayer.
1t seemed to touch his heart, and made him
resolve to live a different life. But alas for
mans resolutions How often are they bro

We have now obtained the assistance of an
excellent Job Printer from Louisville, and having
the largest and most fashionable assortment OF
types between Louisville and St. Louis, we can
do work in better style than any other Office in
his region. and on as reasonable terms:
The Journal Office is now prepared to pIin
Steamboat Bills in plain or colored inks, and in
the handsomest styles. We have one Of the f n
est and largest cuts made in the West, with
smaller ones for large cards, &c. If our work is
not equal to that of Louisville in beauty and
neatness, no charge will be made. Steamboat
cards of all sizes and quality executed on reas-
steamboat friends share of the patronage they

beenfor long time, and is still rising.

"You were ever curse to me-" he ex-
claimed, sand now may the law avenge

In vain the wife pleaded with the eloquence
of affection and impassioned sorrow. He left
them, and hope seemed fled.
Still the wife chung to him with woman's
true love; and together with the sportive
laugh of his child served to keep his neart

"Say not so, Frank, 'tis yourself you have
wronged. But return now to the path of du-

Thus did the gentle wife, with her deep
love and persuasive tones, strive to WIN back
the errIng one. Hers was no force of law,
but the simple dictates of the heart-love's
suasion, if you will.
But the husbands health and spirits sunk

Below we give the proceedings of meet
ing held at Indianapolis to consult with Gen.
Lane as to his being a candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1852. AS Gen. Lane halls from this
county, we are willing that his friends shall
have the full benefit of all his fame, and of
all action tending to make him the great
"used up" in 1852. We hope friend Owen
writes the biography of Gen. Lane, he will
give the true reasons why Gen. Taylor asked
him to resign the Governorship of Oregon.
The Louisville Journal, in speaking of the
indianapolis meeting, says: "Joe Lane and
the Presidency If the members of the cor
responding committee, when they met togeth-
er, did not laugh heartily at the excessive
righteousness of their position, they are utter
ly destitute of all sense of the ludicrous. To
talk of Lane as a candidate fer the Presidency
is certainly to prosecute joke to the very
border of absurdity."

The Democratic papers are no more con-
sistent than usual, in their abuse of the Ad-
ministration for turning Democrats out of Of
fee. With the history of past proscrip-
tons fresh in the memories of all, when no man
could remain in office not Democrat, they
crafty their peculiar tastes, by villifying
Gen. Taylor for giving portion the Offices
to Wings. The extract below illustrates
their true principles in this particular. What
ia recommended in it for the action OF the
Legislature, is precisely what has been car
ried out in Democratic administrations
The Democratic editor of the Augusta Con-
stitutionalist, in letter to his paper from
Milledgeyile, where the Legislature Of Geor-
gia is sitting, says:
The Offices in the gift Of the Legislature
should be BESTOWED solely by the party an the
0scenderlcy, and enjoyed NTH all the Perq"i-
sites and advantages, solely 6yit oa0n mem
bers. The minority should not be Glto1red
any share Of influence IN the choice.'' =
1t is but poor encouragement TO the hard
working Democrats, editors and others, to toll
and struggle to secure Democratic LegisIa-
ture, and then, after succeeding. see that
Legislature eIecting Wings to office.

Hon. James G. Reid to the chair as President,
and the appointment of J. w. Spencer, and
N. Bolton. as Secretaries.
The committee being called upon, Mr.. Ow-
en-, the Chairman, read the letter addressed to
Gen. Lane to the meeting, asking him not to
make his permanent residence in Oregon or
California, but to come home to Indiana, with
a view of being candidate for President in
1852. Mr.. Owen remarked that the letter
was unanimously adopted by the committee.
The letter was adopted by reclamation by
the meeting, and three hearty cheers were
given for General Joseph Lane.
A motion was then made that the chair
man and secretaries of the meeting, and
chairman and members of the committee
sign the letter, and that it be forwarded to
Gen. Lane. Several gentlemen then rose
and expressed desire that all present should
have an opportunity to sign the letter; which
latter method was adopted.
Eloquent and interesting addresses lin ia
vor of Gen. Lane for the Presidency were
delivered by Lieut.. Governor Lane, Cover
nor Wright, and the Hon. Robert Dale Ow-
en-, at the conclusion of which the following
resolution, offered by Mr.. Kent of New Al
bany, was unanimously adopted, to-wit:
ReSoLUed. That the Hon. Robert Dale
Owen be requested TO write biographical
sketch of the Life, Public Services, and char
acter of General Joseph Lane for general
circulation.
Mr.. Owen was understood to accept the
duty assigned him, as he remarked, that
should not the biography of Gen. Lane ex-
coed in thrilling interest and romantic char
acter, that of General Marion, it would be
the fault of the biographer, and not of his
subject
After signing the letter to General Lane,
the meeting adjourned, most enthusiastic
spirit having been manifested from beginning
