DYING.
BY MISS PHRBE CAREY.

When my feet, grown faint and weary,
To life's farthest slope have trOd,
When you know that am dying,
Leave me trustingly with God
And my spirit shall not fear 1t,
Thas,last Christening Of the rod.
ret your warn hanas chilli not, dropping
From my fingers Icy tips
Be there not the touch Of kisses
On my increasing lips;
Let no kindness see the blindness
Ofmy eyes last dark eclipse.
DO not think Of me as lying
BY the dsrkened mould o'erspread,
But about the soft white pillow
Folded underneath my head;
And OF flowers, through the hours,
Weaving broidery Ger my bed.
Think Of the immortal spirit,
That shall never, never die,
And of how my face, now wearing
Light Of immortality,
With loves meaning, Is o'erlesning
From the whits walls Of the sky.

The experience Of the last few years should teach
us that there is none 80 high that be cannot be
tempted, and none 80 exalted that he cannot be
tray. The People, who are the source Of politi-
cal power, should meet together, and discuss with
candor the perils which beset the country. Their
voice is potential terror to evil-dOers and a
praise to them which do well

IL CmcAGo CONVENTION. - The proceedings
of the Christian Anti.Slavery Convention, held
at Chicago on the 3D. 4th, and 5th inst, reached
us too late for insertion this week
a. The instalment OF Mrs. Stoves story,
Uncle Toms Cabin, for this week. reached us
at so late an hour that we were compelled to di-
vide it, 1t increases in interest as it progresses.
We trust that no one will omit to read it.
E'T Two letters from South Africa will be
found in this paper Our correspondent promises
to write again. We shall be glad to hear from
him frequently.
ERRArA-ln the articles signed Senior, Of our
last number, there are sundry blunders Of which
he complains In the title of one Of the articles,
which now reads Harrisburg for the Southern
Market, !" he really wrote " lumbug" instead Of
the first word The annoyance here is that ma
lignant people wW not see the mistake. lie says,
moreover, that every time he wrote dtUision the
types say decision and resolution is as regular
ly substituted for revolution In word, that
every blunder that anybody can detect Is to be
upon UUrnposItors ana PROOF rvanoro,
to all Of which the compositors and proof readers
reply, as did witty Western judge of an infe
ror court when his opinions were reversed by
the Supreme Bench, that the court of the last
resort had all the advantage of the last guess, and
besides got the matter out of his hands relieved
of so much difficulty that they ought to be thank
full rather than censorious.
The responsible editor of course, as in duty
bound, feels the due degree of distress about it
but comforts himself with the reflection that the
readers who detect Seniors blunders can also cor
rect them, and where they are entirely overlooked
nobody will suffer by them.
