Evening.

Tn ere are two periods in the life O
man in which the evening hour is pc.
culiarly y interesting-in you tn and IL
old age. In youth, we love it for its
mellow moonlight, its million of stars
its thin, rich, and shooting shades, its
still s erenity; amid those who can
commune with our loves, or twine the
wreaahs of friendship, while there is
none TO bearfus witness but the heav-
ems and the spirits that hold their
endless Sabbath there-or look into
the deep bosom of creation, spread
abroad like a canopy above US, and
look and listen till we can almost see
and hear the waving wings nd melt
ing so ngs of other worlds. To youth
evening is delightful; it acco rds with
the flo W Of Insight spirits, the fervor
of his fancy, and the softness of his
heart. Evening is, also, the delight
of vir tuous age; it seems an emblem
of the tranquil close of busy life
serene, placid and mild, with the i'm
press of its Creator stamped upon it;
it spreads its quiet wings yer the
grave, and seems to promise that all
shall be peace beyond it.

The Sorrow FUL TREE.--In the is
land Of Goa, near Bombay, there is a
singular vegetable-the sorrowful
tree-because it only 1ourishes in
the night. At S unset no flowers are
to be seen; ant yet, half an hour
after, it is quite full of them. They
yield sweet { nell; but the sun no
sooner begins to shine upon them,
than some of Il lem fall of, and others
close up, and t hus it contin nes flow
ering in the night all the year
Grace, in the soul of a believer, is
just such flower. In the dark
night of affliction it is fresh and fra
grant, puts on its bloom, an ID seems
full of Immortality; but when the sun
of prosperity shines upon it, and it
is surrounded with earthly comforts,
then, for the first time, its divine life
withers-it collapses and s. huts its
leaves.

Avoid eTectation. Instead Of ma

Avoid low expressions. There is a

Democratic Convention.

The clouds that have recently darkeued
aud rent assunder the democratic party Of
Mississippi, are c~leatirg away, and the fu-
rious winds of discord are hushing their raw
ings. The two portions Of our party, that
spill upon the compromise question, evince
a desire to forget the past, and rally upon
their ancient and time-honored principles.
This is wise and proper. There is now no
thing to divide as the Stats has spoken
her position upon the compromise bill
through her convention, aud so far as we
know no man will raise his voice against
her sovereign will. For one, although we
can never yield our opinion that a State is
a sovereignty and has the right to secede,
yet we shall not nor make it ground TO
continue discord in N party. The Reso.
lutions OF the convention, we regard as abb
%so,utely nothing, blanks; te be changed and
filed up at some future period when contin-

ing them. Any resolution or act, that con.
fronts right and reason is bound to yield in
the end. So must it be with this highly ie-
deraI resolve of our State convention. 1t
aims a fatal stab at the heart of Republican
ism, and seeks to overthrow the only re.
straint that The people have upon their feder-
al official, representatives but in tile end,
when more propitioas circumstances offer,
it must fall to the winds.-We heartily en-
