A MoTBER's INFLUENCE.-Who can
measure the influence Of mother on
The young and immortal minds Of her
children ? Her look, her actions, her
smiles or her irowns on her children,
stamp impressions OH their minds, which
will last forever. She gives moulding
influence to their character their course
of life their temporal and eternal well.
being. They rise to the glorirs and
happiness of Heaven, or sink down TO
the shades of death through the faithful
ness or neglect OF the mother. The
mothers influence is often much greater
then the fathers. Her post is more
responsible, and she engraves deeper
and more indelible lines on the minds oil
her children. She stands at the head
OF the race. All the most important
springs OF society are held and controll-
cd by the feeble hand of woman. Every
cord vibrates on her touch, rs with mag
c sensibiiiy and every harmony in the
social system waits on her impulses.
How pure and tender, then, should be a
mo,her's heart How careful OF her
looks her smiles her co duct; her
every action, which imprints such in
delblt lines, and exerts such imperisha-
lie influence OH the young minds.

KossuTH AND THE REPrBLic NEwsPA-

suih; which has attracted considerable
attention, as probably expressing The
views Of the Administration. The ar'i-
~ begins by saying. that II is probable
Kossuth has ere this discovered the ma
lure and consequences OF the mistake
which marked his advent upon our
shores;" and that no public man has
experienced greater damage in so short
n time, AT I t hands of "A few Otiicious
Individuals claiming To be considered

then proceeds TO say:

when he shall detect the fraud that has
been pcrperared upon him. he will lose
no time in Kidding himself OF lis authors,
and will then start airesh. with truer
