SWEET HOME!

Oh home! beloved home, shall Ine'er again know tnee
From The scenes of my youth destined ever 10 part.
And friends where affection has Gondy unclaimed
Can press thee no more TO my sorrowing heart?
Remember them, yes, remember them we'll,
They are days OF enchan .nent that neer return,
And deep in my heart do treasure the SPELL
And oft rop tear OH their funeral urn
Oh! wcie they not sweet? and do you, too, rcncmber,
The hcauii,l ,rden we treasured so much?
Twas summer time, then, but the blast oi December
Soon came, and the roses all died al its touch.
Aud do you, too, remember the dear happy faces
That crowded the bench meath the apple tree there?
''ris true they gone, but my memory traces
Each feature and voice in hat varied partcrre.
And do you, too, remember when fond,y conycrsins,
rs children, royed thro' the flower covered glen?
Aud OIL how delighted we've in reaea ,ng
The innocent hymns tha, enchanted Us then?
And do you, too, remember the iiaan,ine prayers,
The bed at whose foot night and morning we klcl?
Alas! could bay with Of tears,
a spirit as p,ne a, that tine fell!
Those moments are hcd bat the fond recollection,
The bliss that the thought oil those days can npit,
Can on!y expire with the power Of reflection,
Can mouldcr alone with the uoulH'ling oil heat.

a gentleman OF Hannibal has prepared
the following synopai5oi the drat OF Il mew
constitution OF Missouri, which we copy
from The 81 10. is IniOn:
The draft contain, ten arlces-bcing
three articles shorter than 'he old State
constitution.
The first article prescribcs the bounda-
ries OF the State. as they are now rccoghi-
zed, and established by public authority
The second article is copied from the old
constitution. 1T divides the government,
as usual, into three dcpartments-leg egisla
tive, executive, and judicial.
The third article relates to the legislative
department. 1t bases representation in the
legislature on population, SO that every cit
izen can have an equal voice in the leg,la-
ture, in the making of the laws by which
he is to be governed; and when county is
entitled TO two or more representatives,
such county is TO he divided into districts,
and each district is to elect It's own repre-
sentaiives. The reminder Of the third ar
ticle is substantially the same as the CORES
ponding part .! the old constitution.
The fourth article relates to the eXecu.
tive departments, and is substantially the
same ~ IN. ,","responding part of the old
constitution, except that ia " -
be elected for two years: and au,"Ho'i'! :"
given to the legislature to restrain the eA-
eculive in the improper exercise of the par
doning power. The cabinet officers are to
be established by law, aud will of course be
elected by the people.
The fifth article relates to the judicial de-
partment, and is substantially the same as
the corresponding part Of the old cons',u-
zion, except tina, the judges are 20 be elect
ed by the people. All of he present su-
prsne and circuit judges are to 20 out of
office ON the first day of December 1851, i,
whics will require an election to take place
some lime during next year, to elect a
new set of judges.
The sixth article relates to schools, and
is substantially the same as the correspond
ing part OF The old constitution.
The seventh article relates to internal
improvements and banking. The part in
relation to internal improvements is copied
from the old constitution. The part in re-
la,ion to bankingis entirely new. 1t for,
bids the State from owning any stock in
banks and requires the stockholders Of ev.
cry bank to give ample security for the pay
ment in specie Of all bank bills which they
may issue or put in circulation; and all law,
on The subject of banking, are to be gener
al, which will prevent monopolies and ex
elusive privileges from being granted b.
special charters.
The eighth arlirle continues the seat o
government nj Jefferson.
The ninth article contains the usual pro
Y visions in relation to the manner in whicl
Nhe instrument is TO be amended or abolish
Nd.

The Paris correspondent OF the London

that the spire OF the Cathedral of Strasburg

TnE WARSAW Wnlo.--Wc feel concern
ed to see X stated in the las, mum Der re-
ceived of thi' paper, that its patronage is
inadequate to lis support.
The editor announces that unless better
sustained, it will, in one month mere be
discontinued. Few papers in this country.
anywhere, have been better conducted than
the Warsaw Wing, and ii the citizens o!
Benton and the surrounding district per-
nit it thus TO die OF inani,ion, we shall
think but lightly either of their iihcrality
or intelligence. The st. Louis papers are,
however, curiailing the circulation Ot the
country papers, and 10 the prejudice OF the
people themselves. When viii those lat.
Ter become persuaded OF the fact, that Il
good home paper is of far more value to
them than any distant paper can be? Ii
alone can promote home Interests aud dit
fuse home intelligence, and should be regard
cd as u necessity.
Yet we see paper after paper, through
out the country, being abandoned for want
oi sufficient support. This a matter ol
serious regret, and what should not be.
