MY MOTHERS KISS.

my MOTHERS KISS.
love to hear the music
Of sisters careless glee,
And brothers kindly voice
Bringe,h melody TO me.
love the gentle pressure
Of many fond ca'ess;
Yet there's one that more than all
Hath power to soothe and bless.
My infant lip turn'd eagerly
TO meet its soft salute,
Giv'n with a trembling earnestness
That seal'd the giver's mute.
/ luv'd it then unconsciously,
And from that hour to this,
There is nought on earth SO precious
As my mothers gentle kiss.
1t was then my richest guerdon,
When, some childish lesson DER,
With the, wildly gushing joyousness
That may visit ME no more
My young heart overlooking
With the fondness of this bliss,
flew to claim the promise
OF her proud and happy kiss.
And when at length grown weary
OF happiness and play,
sought repose and talny sleep
At close OF summer dav;
When my vesper hymn was over,
And my evening pr'yer was said,
And the curtains gathered carefully
BY her hand around my bed
The fervent pressure of that kiss,
As my eyes began to close,
Shed Ger my rest its rosy dreams,
Till the early birds arose.
And ever when wandercr
From my ve-encirced home,
Md other scenes, with other FRIENDS,
Ger land or sea Iroam;
When the twilight shadows gather,
And the dew falls OIL the flowers.
and tho weary birds are turning
Each to his fo eat bower
And the fond heart homeward tendeth,
Oh! tits sorrowful to miss
The accents Of her sweet "good night
My mothers parting kiss.

Truth Plainly Spoken.

The LO,ceU (JHass) american, while con-
demuing the intrigue and treachery of Brown,
as developed in his efforts to reach the
Speakers chair gives the Wings a touch
on the raw as follows:
But it certainly is not for the Wings to
complain of Browns course. They elected
Taylor 10y the same system; they elected
Winthrop two years ago by quite as ohlec-
tionnbc means. They got pOtes for both Ly
false prttences, and that is all that Brown did
Winthrop's and Taylor's duplicity consisted
in silence, while Brown foolishly nut the evil
dcnce upon paper; Winthrop and Taylor
were successful, while Brown was defeated
Here is the main difference between the
cases. Browns election, if it had been ef-
fected, would have been as honorable as
Taylor's or Winthrop's. But hc failed, and
the obiquy and ridicule which Inc deserves
TO share with the others, lac has tc bear
alone.
Treason doth never prosper; what's the reason;
II 1t doth prosper, none dare call IL treason.
Taylor was chosen President by the votes
of auti-savery Massachusetts and slavery
Georgia. Winthrop and Toombs, Ashmun
and Stephens, were alike earnest in his sup
port. The people here were told that Old
Zach was true for Free Soil the people
there were told that he was invincble for
Slavery. In the meanwhile Zachary Taylor
said not word. Earnest seekers after the
truth as to these contradictory statements,
kept writing TO him, but he was dumb as
Old Whitley himself The fraud went on;
Massachusetts and Georgia, Winthrop and
Toombs, Ashmun and Stephens cried Yo-
heave-O, and with united strength boosted
the inert mass into position. Wherein has
Taylor the advantage of the poor, despised
Brown?

The World Moves,

a FREEsoLER, writing from Washing
ton to the Anti-Slavery Standard, thus notes
the signs of progress which recent events
have rendered SO conspicuous:
1t was remarkable to observe how un-
qualifedly many of the Southern members
talked yesterday, about "dissoving the
Union," in the event of the Wilmot Provi-
so passing, or Slavery in this District being
abolished. But il was still more remarkable
to notice how lttle sensation the Disunion-
lists speeches made-designed, as they were,
TO fTighten Northern men, especially the
new members, from their proprety and
their sense Of duty TO their constituents.
know not how better TO give the readers of
The Standard an idea of the change which
llns come over the temper of the House,
since even the last session, land how marvel
lotIsly different from the temper of former
years. than by stating my belief that Will
liam Lloyd Garrison himself could get fair
hearing, for the sake of his vote
Say what you may about the actions of
the Free-Soilers, generally, depend upon it
their Representatives proper are doing a
good work In the present Congress- far
more important work than the election of
any man, whatever, for Speaker, although
their utility may not be apparent to superb
cial observers. AS Mr.. Giddings remarked
to me, the other day, when his vote for Viii
liam !. Brown, of Indiana, caused such
lutter among the Southrons, (ialling, as it
did, like "a bombslell) they were soaring
them from the bushes most effectualy."
Do not be surprised TO find the Northern
ers taking their position, with at least semi
manhood, and thus breaking the bands of
party, to great extent,-and that during
the present Congress. That is consumma-
ton deyoutly to be wished, because il will
bring fully before the minds and consciences
of the people the question of PerpetIdtion
or Disunion" ! need not hint that il will
not take me long to decide between these,
when the hour for choice comes. There
may be other Unions-but the sentiment OF
Freedom is one and indvisible, and no mere
form of government can compensate ioI
such an utter disregard of its claims upon
honest hearts

Zachary and the Sabbath School Union.

Some of the papers are complaining be-
cause the Sunday School children of South
Carolina have contributed sixty dollars TO
constitute President Taylor the bloody, and
his wife liie-members OF the American Sab
bath School Union; but | would like 20
know what right they have to complain
Did not Gen. Taylor go TO Mexico with
thousands of pious men at the peril of his
life TO get the gospel among the heather, aud
open way whereby they may be brought
10 respect the Bible and observe the Sab
bath Did not lac and his men carry Bibles
IN their pockets when they went on this
holy mission? And did not the priests of
Tie Sunday Union pray over them, that the
terrible God of battles might go with them,
and help subdue the heatleu, and did they
not exbort Zachary and his men TO fight
valiantly in the name ofthc God of the Sab
bath Now did not Zachary obey all these
commands? Did he not fight nearly all his
righteous battles on the holy Sabbath? And
when the obstinate heathen refused to re-
ceive the Bible and respect the Sabbath, did
not Zachary's men wad down their heavenly
arguments of powder and cold lead with
Bible leaves aud shoot them into their heads
and hearts? Was not all this done in obedi-
ence TO the commands of the American
churches that compose the American Sab
bath School Union, and did ever General
obey the orders of his employers and carry
out their religious principles more truthiully
and faithfully than he i? And is not Presi-
dent Zachary equally faithful to other holy
institutions of the blessed country he serves |?
Do not the churches that compose the
American Sabbath School Union support
laws in favor of human slavery-in favor of
buying and selling the bodies of their broth
ers and sisters, men, women and children
their own members? and does not Zachary
own near three hundred human cattle p
why then should he not be constituted a
liie-member of the Sabbath School? What
member has ever been more true and faith
itl to the religion of Sabbath mongors?-
Those papers that are finding fault with the
Sabbath School Union, accusing il of incon-
sistency, had better shut up. They know
nothing obouttl.o matter, nothing could pos
slbly be more consistent than to make such
man member of such u Union. Will the
Antl-Slavery Bugle please copy the above,
SO that kindred prints that think there is
anything inconsistent in den of thieves and
murderers, admitting scientific thief and
murderer to their Union, may be convinced
OF their orror.-Pieaaue Bod.
