r'son,e of the submission press have shouted over

Mr. mallory the successful candidate, it seems, is as

hi predecessor Mr.. Yulee) has most explicit and
upequivocal approval, and expressed his strong de-

Washington, he will take the place vacated by Mr.

FORGIVE AND FORGET.

BY TUPPER-
When storms of unkindness, as bitter n gall,
Bubble up from the heart to the tongue,
And meekness is wreathing in torment and thrall,
BY the hands of lngratitude wrung-
In the heat of Injustice, unwept and unfair;
While the anguish is fostering yet,
None, none but angel OF God can declare,
- | now can forgive and forget"
But if the bad spirit is chased from the heart,
And the lips are in penitence stepped,
With the wrong so repented the wrath will depart
Though scorn or injustice were heaped;
For the best compensation is paid for an ill.,
When the cheek with contrltlon Is wet,
And every one feels it is possible still,
At once to forgive and forget.
To forget2 It is hard for man with mind,
However his heart may forgive,
To blot out all peris and danger behind,
And but for the future to live;
Then how shall il be- for at every turn
Recollection the spirit will fret,
And the ashes OF injury shoulder and burn,
Though we strive to forgive and forget.
O, hearken! my tongue shall the riddle unseal,
And mind shall be partner with heart,
While thee, to thyself bid conscience reveal,
And show thee how evil thou art;
Remember thy follies, thy sins, and-thy crimes,
How vast is that Infinite debt!
Yet Mercy hath seven by seventy times
Been swift to forgive and forget
Brood not on insults or injuries old
For thou art injurious too:
Count not their till the total is told,
For thou art unkind and untrue,
And ii all thy harms are forgotten, forgiven,
Now Mercy with Jesus is met,
o. who would not gladly take lessons of Heaven,
Nor learn to forgive and forget!
Yes, yes; let when his enemy weeps,
Be quick to receive him friend!
For thus on his head in kindness he heaps
Hot Goals, TO refine and amend;
And hearts that Christians more eagerly yearn
As nurse on her innocent pet,
Or bps that, once bitter, TO penitence turn,

THE BROKEN HEARTED.

The sun goes down in the wild west wave,
To rise with ovelier light;
The pale moon sleeps in her day-watched cave,
To sport mid the clouds of night
The suntlower drops on his waving stem,
But blooms when his God doth rise;
But the bursting heart may beat in vain
Till it batters its last and dies.
The soul may leave its tenement here,
And wing its way to bliss.
The sinner may weep penitent tear,
And be brighter and fairer by this;
The lover may a time, and then
His weeping and woes depart;
But naught assuage the cankering pain,
The Hell of broken heart.
The gem may be torn from its crystal bed
To shine Parian breast
The sweet rose may shadow some lovely head,
Ard be lovelier there from its rest;
The breeze may burn on the wide lone sea,
Yst t will sweep over Araby's groves;
But the heart that is breaking must ever be
UIncheered by hope that it loves

NEW CANDIDATES FOR THE PREsfDEseY.--A
writer, signing himself "Teno, in the Mont
gomery Advertiser, while making several "sug-
gestions, as to the proper policy to be persu-
ed by the 'true friends of the South, " holds forth
as follows
Let these men determine at once upon the
policy to be pursued in the pending Presidential
campaign. Shall there be Southern candidate ?
Shall he be Cheves Of South Carolina Qui.man

wheat which Ohio raised in $50 is set down by
the Cincinnati Gazette at thirty nlIlons II 6ashefs
an amount not only sufficient to supply all the
wants of that State but leaving a surplus of eigh-
teen millions of bushels. The consumption o
each individual is about six bushels annually
Ohio has about two millions of inhabitants, conse
quently twelve millions OF bushels enough fol
the consumption of the State. Allowing the prc,
of rs cents per bushel, and the overplus Is worth
over thirteen millions dollars In addition to this
the corn raised is equal to one hundred bushels tC
each person in the State. The surplus of the two
articles is equal in value to twenty-five millions O
dollars.
! The New York Tribune and some other free
soil papers are reviving the agitation to the
pediency of going more deeply into the cultivation
of hemp and flax. They seem to think 1t may b.
made as, in great degree, to supersede the us'

products, great wealth and population will be ad

IA lady in the St. Louis Union, over the sign;
of INEZ, portrays her thoughts in the followin
beautiful verses, on the eve of her marriage
THE PRAYER OF THE BETROTHED.
Father come before thy throne,
With low and Bonded knee,
To thank Thee with grateful tone,
For all Thy love to me.
Forgive me, if my heart this hour
give not all to Thee,
For deep affections mighty power
Divides it aolp with Thee.
Thou knowest Father, every thought
That wakes within my breast,
And how this heart has vainly sought
To keep its love suppressed.
Yet when the idle, worshipped One
Sits fondly by my side,
And breaths the vows ] cannot shun,
To me, his destined bride
Forgive me, if the loving kiss
He leaves upon my loving brow,
Is thought of in an hour like this,
And thrills me
He's chosen to be his love
And comforter through life;
Enable me, Oh God, to prove
loving, faithful wife.
He knows not Father, all the deep
Affections | control
The thousand loving thoughts that sweep
Resistless DER my soul
He knoweth not each fount of love
That gushes warm and free;
Nor can he ever, prove
My warm idolatry.
Then guard him. Battle-Ground his way
Thy choicest blessings cast,
And render each successive day
Still happier than the last,
And, Father, grant to live,
That when this life is DER,
Within the happy home you give
Wen meet TO part no more.
