sword which had been delivered up might be restored TO
him The boys appearance The earneslness with which
he urged his request and the tears which could not be
stayed when he beheld the sword interested Napoleon
much in his favor that not only was the sword given
10 him. but he determined to become acquainted with the
mother Of the boy He visited her, and soon his visits
became frequent He delighted to hear the details which
she gave OF the court OF Louis.

" am glad You admit that" she said, shortly.
" But come, now, supper is ready" And they ac-
cordingy sat down to the neatly arranged meal
that was awaiting them. But still its comfort was
marred by the constant faults Mrs. Draper found
/ with all that her husband and children did. They
were at almost every moment offending against her
law Of order, for Mrs Diapers of neatness and
cleanliness was not satisfied by daily and almost
hourly cleanings; the slightest Infringement of the
order that was dear to her. irritated her beyond
measure and, as it may be supposed, those in
Judgements with IA husband and children, were
neither few far between, anger was rarely long
absent from their dwelling.
Mrs. Draper was a conscientious and an indus
trious woman, and she esteemed it her duty to
work hard for her husband and children. That
duty she performed to the uttermost, and if need
were, she would have begged for them or starved
for them. But she perceived not how her spirit oi
house worship nterfered with her duties as a wife
and mother. The latter demanded her house
should be home, the former that it should be an
idol and she bowed INCREASINGLY before the
image she had herself set up, without once suspect
ing that the magic word Home " was, in her
keeping, but an empty sound. Her children were
dull and sullen, because they were always in dis
grace for the playfulness natural to their age
commonly treated as fault, from its leading them
to transgress the strict rules set up for their
duct, and forget the respect due to chairs and
stools, which were never to be touched or moved
and the floors and windows which must not be
trod or breathed upon. And her husband, when
his many hours of labor over, and he felt he
had fairly earned happy and peaceful evening
was continually offending against the same laws
therefore, the matter frequently ended by his be-
taking himself to the public house, where he was
object of consideration, which he was never a,

'Tis holy time. The evening shade
Steals with soft control
O'er nature, as thought of heaven
Steals DER the human soul
And every ray from yonder blue,
And every drop OF falling dew,
Seem to bring down to human woes
From heaven message OF repose.
oer yon tall rock the solemn trees,
A shadowy group incline,
Like gentle nuns in sorrow bowed
Around their holy shrine
And DER them now the night winds blow,
So calm and still, the music low
Seems the mysterious voice of prayer
Soft-echoed on the evening air.
The mists, like incense from the earth,
Rise to a God beloved,
And DER the waters move as erst
The Holy Spirit moved
The torrents voice, the waves low hymn,
Seem the far notes of seraphim,
And all earth's thousand voices raise
Their song of worship, love, and praise.
The gentle sisterhood of flowers
Bend low their lovely eyes,
Or gaze through trembling tears Of dew
Up to the holy skies;
And the pure stars come out above
Like sweet and blessed things of love.
Bright signals in the ethereal dome
To guide the parted spirit home.
There is a spirit of blessedness
In air and earth and heaven
And nature wears the blessed look
= OF a young saint forgiven;
Oh, who at such an hour of love,
Can gaze on all around, above,
And not kneel down upon the sod
With Natures self to worship God

who have been sacrificed before the peo-
pie, under the blind delusion that they
could be elected as partizan Wings. We
have nothing on earth so much at heart
as the success of the great National Wing
party, in all time to come but we can-
not accomplish this end, or forward it one
jot or title, by fighting under a party
flag here in Minnesota, Or any other
Territory, whose people have no voice in
the councils of the nation, and no inilu-
ence upon single party measure, lcgis-
lative or executive-in Congress or out
Of Congress. We can maintain our idcn-
tity as Wings as well, and a great deal
better, by keeping aloof from party strife,
and acting with men of other parties, who
desire only, as we do, to promote the in
ternal interests of Minnesota-to see that
she is fed and clothed until she can go
alone-as by getting up regular old
fashioned party drill and grand battle, at
every constable's election in the Territory.
We say these things in all kindness
and brotherly feeling towards our friends,
and particularly those in Washington
county, who have felt it their duty 10 diff
fer with us. We know them TO be
Whigs-Whigs to the core-of that old
sort, such as in days gone by we have
stood up to the rack with, and battled for
Harrison, and Clay, and Tay lor, and Fill
more. But they must see, that their
course in the late contest, has played di-
rectly into the hands of their organized
enemies. We have claimed the privi-
lege, as brother Wing, 10 talk thus
plainly TO them, on this occasion, and
shall always grant them the same privi-
lege towards US.

No. 2, in the employment Of D. A. j.
Baker, as teacher, during the past win
ter.
We ask you to publish the following
brief statement of facts. Deeming it a
mater of justice to Mr.. Baker and our
selves that this correction should have
as much publicity as the calumny which
called it forth.
In the first place, Mr.. Baker did not
"rope in,' the Trustees to pay him sixty
dollars month. He did not receive that
sum and what he did receive, was not a
price of his own stating: but what we,
after consulting with many of the district
whose children were attendingthe school,
deemed fair compensation for the servi-
ces rendered.
We first became acquainted with him
while he was teaching private school,
in the summer of 1850. He was then al
most stranger here: known only in the
little room where he taught, and that so
small school could barrel y have sufficed
to pay expenses; YET he labored jealous
" and at his business, and gave so far as
we can learn, most entire satisfaction.
The same exclusive devotion to his school
during the entire winter.
The number of scholars attending was
more than one hundred, and he did not
eren coniine himself to office hours, but
was engaged from eight in the morning
till dark. Striving always to awaken and
add to the interest of his pupils: procur-
ing, and often at his own expense, such
books as were necessary. With his te-
ing g Yankee pedagogne, we have
nothing to do,-that is a sin we leave him
to answer for.
But we will add, that in our opinion,
few other "pedagogues " will be found
to render SO efficient service as teacher
of youth, or to display more interest in
the cause Of education, especially in our
Territory.
