Our love was born in poverty:
His cradle rocked midst doubt and fears;
But still the urchn sonily grew,
Though nourished with our tears.
Though roses bloomcd upon his cheeks
His bright eyes sckcned with despair,
But rs we nursed the angrl-child
We found great beauty there.
At length we kissed away the tears
That had believed his rosy check:
And then we saw the rays of hope
Within his bright eyes break.
And since he has to manhood grown,
And dried with smiles the infants tear,
He proves very Hercules
Our strength and Solace here.
Godey's Lady's Book for August has three
fine engravings: "Mignon and her Father is
taken from Gocthe's Wilhelm Meister,' .'Mina
and Brenda" from SCOTS pirate and s.The
Last Visit, an Indian picture which illustrates
an article by Headley. There are also quite a
number OF wood engravines. Mrs. +. O. Smith,
Miss Meeta VI. Duncan, Headley and ':Sonnet''
Alexander are among the writers. II has some
excellent articles from new writers. We take
from it the following little poem by ''Mary
Neal" entitled "My Family and Home"
have three flowers fair,
That in my garden bower bloom;
And one that blossoms there
Transplanted from its early home.
] have one cherished tree.
That DER US spreal its shelt'ring arms,
Shielding my flowers and me
From chilling winds and adverse storms.
And would not exchange
h1y little flowers, my tree and bower,
Through lordly halls to range,
Or share an empress regal power.

Peas.-Plant a bed for late use. Before
planting, the seed should be soaked ) or hours
in warm water. They will be fit for cooking

be sure TO have your watering pot freely used

MIR. FILLMORE.

During his late tour in Va, the Pres
ident was called out in a speech at Fred
ericksbrg, from which we make the
following extract. 1t has been aptly
called the right kind of speaking.
81 will not avail myself OF this occa-
sion to express to you the policy by
which | mean to be governed in the ad-
ministration of the Government. Upon
that subject, suffice it to say, when took
the oath prescribed by the Constitution
to support the Union and defend it, |
meant what | said, and intend to carry
out that promise.-In the execution o..
this duty mean to know no sectional
differences. My maxim is, equal and
exact justice to all, favors tonone. Those
who are willing that the Government
shall be administered upon these princi-
pies, hope will be my friends, no mat
ter by what political appellation they
may have been known heretofore
whether Wings or Democrats. | could
not but be sensible, when unexpectedly
elevated to this position, Of the great
danger which threatened our country.
We have heard much Of the danger to
the Union--l fear no more than all have
hsard-but pardon me for saying that
III my estimation it never should have
become a source of discussion. The
very idea Of secession should be trown-
ed upon by every true American as de-
serving of no argument and of no justl-
tcation. 1t is to me painful that it
should even be subject ofconversatlon."

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL.

ENLARGEMENT OF THE CAPITOL
IL The Committee on Public Buildings of the
Senate, having been authorized by a resolution of
that body, a" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol, and to al
low premium OF five hundred dollars for the
plan which may be adopted by the Committees on
Public Buildings Of the two Houses OF Congress, 81
accordingly invite such plans and estimates, to be
delivered to the Secretary Of the Senate on or be-
fore the first day of December next.
IL is required that these plans and estimates
shall provide for the extension of the Capitol,
| either by additional wings, to be placed on the
north and south of the present building, or by the
erection of separate and distinct building within
the enclosure to the east Of the building.
The committee do not desire to prescribe any
condition, that may restrain the free exercise of
architectural taste and judgment but they would
prefer, that whatever plan may be proposed may
have such reference to and correspondence with
the present building TO preserve the general
symmetry of the entire structure, when complete
Although but one plan can be adopted, the com
mttee reserve TO themselves the right to form such
plan by the adoption Of parts OF different plans
submitted, should such be found necessary; in
which event, the committee also reserve TO them
selves the right to divide or apportion, according
TO their own judgment, the amount of premium to
be awarded for the whole, to those whose plans
may in part be adopted, according to the relative
importance and merit OF each part adopted
