A Mother,s Love.


The Indianapolis State Sentinel relates the
following:
We do Rot know when we were more affec-
ted than on Saturday last, at seeing an aged
widow, apparently about sixty years of age,
who came in the stage from Logansport, and
who had travelled some four hundred miles
alone, bringing with her the petition of Judge
Chamberlain. and the Associate Judges of the
Porter Circuit Court, with large number of
the citizens of Du Page county, Illinois, (the
county in which the old lady residcd) to Gov.
Wright for the pardon of her son, now in the
State Prison, who was in the spring of the
year 1S4S, in the Porter Circuit Court senten-
ced to seven years imprisonment in the State
Prison for larceny, having served already two
years and more.
The son in prison is the father of two chill
dren, now dependent upon the mother and
this grandmother for support, who are repre-
sented by the petitioners to be poor. This old
lady has made two trips from Illinois alone to
Indiana, and it seems from her story, corrobor-
ated by Judge Chamberlain, that amidst all
her troubles, she has never despaired; that at
the end of year from his imprisonment she
endeavored to obtain the aid of the court, for
his pardon this failed. At the end of the
second year, true, to a mothers loUe, she again
started and has now travelled more than seuen
ks1adred miles for the pardon of her son.
We wished at the moment, that we had the
power to hand the pardon to this aged and de-
jected female, and we would have felt some
what indignant at the Governor las much re-
spect as we have for him) if he had refused to
pardon the son Of this old lady. But we must
confess that when we saw the Governor take
this old lady to his house, and keep her over
the Sabbath, on Monday morning accompany
her to cars and hand the pardon to her for
her son, and see the glad tears start in the
widows eye, we were glad in our heart, that
Wright was the Governor of Indiana; and
though he may have erred in thus acting,
(which we do not believe) it was an error on
the right side No father, brother, or sister
could have shown the deep solicitude, as did
this mother for her son. and we now believe
with all our heart, that the sweetest word in
the English vocabulary is mother.

Canadian Parliament State of Parties.

The Toronto Examiner gives the following
classification of the members of the Parliament
Just convened:
Ministerialists, "a; Clear Grits, %; Tories,
90; Annexationists. Z majority against Min
isters, when they don't behave themselves, Is.
We have given to Ministers, Messrs. Char-
eau, Duchesnay and Savifneau, though from
their known and habitual independence, they
might as well have been placed among the
Clear Grits. Besides them is Scott, of Two
Mountains, who has already upset two admin
istrations, and it is therefore difficult to say
what he may not do. On the other hand, we
have claimed Mr.. Smith, of Durham, as a
Clear Grit, though it must be confessed his
views, on some of the questions that divide
parties, are not fully known. Werepeat, that
our classification will be found to be substan-

The Locofoco papers have commenced

The people have heretofore responded to the

the object of Locofoco railings-he lived in a

Genl Taylor was ridiculed for having slept

these sneers. and they will the following:

THE MINERS DREAM.

MIN ESIe/S I'm Anu
The day was done-he swallowed crust
The last he had in his locker
He placed his head on bag Of DUST
And his hands on the pick and rocker.
And there by the Yuba's lonely stream,
His tent by the lonely sky,
He dreamed the most aurifelou dream
Alas! that twas all in his eye.
He saw the noble palace of gold,
Which the ancient Spaniards sought,
The dome Of gold was lofty aud bold,
And the pillars with gold inwrought.
On gIitering throne the Inca sat,
cor solid gold twas bulded)-
taHis mutton was served a golden plate,
And his gingerbread was gilded."
And the guards wore golden plumes 10 tell
And their helmets shone like suns
And they fired at a mark with golden balls,
Which were cast for their golden guns.
The golden rod waved in every breeze,
And the goIdthre grew in the brakes
Goldfinches twittered in all the trees,
And goldfish swan in the lakes.
Il give the aI,' the Inca cried,
My guard, my palace, my throne
And the rivers bed and the mountan's side,
Their treasures are thine alone"
Now over his dream a change hath come:
The fields are rocky and hare:
He dreams of his old New England home,
And the memories clustered there.
He walks by the run at Seamour's pond,
Where he hauled the pckerel in,
All! The grapes Of which he was fond,
In the former age Of TIN.
Hurrah! Point Rocks! The oceans shore,
And the marching tides deploy,
With the same wild rush and the same wild roar
That thrilled him when boy, .
Now the school, house red with its copper roof.
And its dust. and noise, and fan, - -
And the females whisk and sharp reproof,
And the shout when school was done.
And he dreams of the Sabbath day,
And the Sabbath bell doth toll,
And serious faces thFong the way,
And serious thoughts the soul. ~ ~
And when in dreams he ceased to roam,
And walked by the Yuba river,
He thought of his wife and his child and his home,
And Of God, the perfect Giyer.
Why change the treasures Of the heart
For glittering Jumps like these?
So across she lsthmus he took start,
And came home by way Of Chagres.
TRIsMEeIsr,
, P. s,-He brought the lumps with him.
