ALL roa Love !''-Yesterdsy morning
suspicious looking package was received
at The Post Office in this city, post-marked
"St. Lonis-2Oc. paid--Charles Baker,
care OF VI. Wickersham." This Baker
to whom the Package was addressed, was
arrested some month or two since near
Virden's on the mail route bel ween this
place and ST Louis, after being detected
in the act Of taking one of the mail bags,
and giving his captors race Of about a
mile. He was brought to this city, exam
ined, and committed to Jail. "A few days
after this, some discoveries were made in
trunk, in possession of woman passing
for Bakers wife, in St Louis, which I'M.
plicated him as having been extensively
engaged in mail depreda'ions. During
Bakers confinement several demonstra-
,ions have been made at night about the
Jail, as supposed, to effect his release
and on one or two occasions by his own
cunning and adroitness. he came very near
making his escape. The jailor has, there
fore put him in irons, and secured him TO
the floor. The package alluded TO, was
opened and found to contain three pamph-
lets bound together and lettereG with gold
''all for love-" Our post master and Mr.
Wickersham concluded that these pamph-
lets-one Of which was the trial Of Pro-
lessor Webster-were not so neatly bound
for nothing. Accordingly the book
was taken TO a book binder. and was
carefully examined, and pronounced that
nothing was concealed obout it. This did
no, satisfy Mr.Wickershsm. He thought
from the thickness ofthe covers. and other
circumstances. that the book contained
something which was TO assist Baker in
making his escape. After reaching home
he commenced cutting up the cover on
one side OF the BOOK, and while perform
ing similar operation on the other, 'lo
and behold !" two small saws abont eight
inches in length, such as mschinests use
in saving iron, were brought TO view -
Thus has been foiled another deep laid
SCENE to effect the escape of this Baker,
who Is believed to be at the head Of large
gang of Williams scattered all through the
west. This book matter should be inves-
tigated. None but workman could have
concealed these saws in the cover Of
book-none but sagacious rogue could
have suggested the plan, and none but
visilant jailor could have detected it,

How TO GET SLELp. TO get sleep
is, TO many persons, matter of high i'm
portance. Nervous persons who are
troubled with wakefuiness and excitabil-
ity, usually have a strong tendecy Of blood
TO the brain, with cold extremities. The
presnre of blood on the brain keeps ii i'm a
stimulated or wakefui state and The pull
sation in the head are often painful. Let
such rise and chafe the body and ex,remi-
ties with a crash towel, or rub smartly
with the hands, TO promote circulation, and
withdraw the excessive amount Of blood
from the brain, and they will fall asleep
in few moments. A cold bath, or a
sponge bath, rubbing, or a rapid walk in
the open air. or going up and down stairs
few times, just before retiring. vii! aid
in equalizing circulation and promoting
sleep. These rules are simple and easy
OF application in castle or cabin, and may
minister TO the comfort of thousands who
would freely expend money for an anodyhe
TO promote" Natures sweet res'orer ,balmy
sleep"

President FrLLMoRE.-The editor of
the Detroit Daily .4dreriiser, writes as
follows from washington in regard to Mr.
Fillmore:
''In conversing to-day with Democrat
ic member of Congress, he remarked
"Mr Fillmore deserves all praise for his
wisdom, moderation and frmness; and"
said he,'the development ofthese qualities
on his part, creates no surprise in those
who have known him long. Many wears
ago he remarked, "Mr Mckay formerly
NJ. G from North Carolina, pointed to Mr.
Fillmore, said to e-"There, sir, is a
strong man. and wha, is still better a
thoroughly honest one.' This, from a
political opponent of Mr. McKay's standing
and experience. was no small praise
This triumphant justification of the remark
vindica'ed before the eyes Of the world.
in the highest position which the world
knows j. better than praise.
The highest sentiment of respect and
good feeling prevails in the Whig dele
CATION in the House and Senate, towards
the Cabinet. collectively and individually,
and full determination to strengthen the
hands ef the Administration. and make il
honorable, useful and salu,ary."

A welcome for thy Ch,ld, father,
welcome give to. day;
ANhongh she may not come TO thee,
AS when she went away;
Though never in her nest,
Is she to fold her wing,
And live again the day when first
She learned to fly and sing.
Oh. happy were those days, father,
When gathering round thy knee,
seven sons and daughters called the sires
We come again but three;
The grave hss claimed thy loveliest ones;
And sterner thugs than death
Have left sh dow on thy brow,
sigh upon thy breath.
And one-one ofthe three, father,
Now comes I" thee to claim
Thy blessing on another lot,
Upon another name.
where trrpic suns forever burn,
Far over land and wave,
The child,whom thou hast loved would make
Her hearth-stone and her grave.
Thourt never wait again, father,
Thy daughters coming tread:
She ne'er will see thy face on earth,
So count her with the dead;
But in the lard of life and love,
Not sorrowing as now,
She'll come to thee, and come, perchance,
With jewels on her brow.
Perchance!-I do not know, father,
II any part be given
My erring hand among the guides,
Who point the way to hea-en,
But it would he a joy untold,
Some erring foot to stay:
Remember this. when gathering round,
Ye for the exile pray.
Let nothing here he changed, father,
would remember all,
Where every ray of sunshine rests,
And where the shadows fall.
And now SO; with falteling foot,
pass the thre shold oc'r,
And gaze through tears, on that dear roof,
My shelter nevermore.
