The Mother Of a President.

Mrs. Polk, the mother of the late Prcsi-
dent of the United States, died last week at
Columbia, Tennessee. She was member
of the Presbyterian church, regular in her
attendance upon the services Of the sanctu.
ary; humble and exemplary in her deport-
ment; and esteemed and beloved by the
community. Her venerable form might be
seen every Sabbath in the house Of prayer.
1t is known that while Mr.. and Mrs. Polk
were in the Presidential mansion, their ex-
ample, so far as the Sabbath and attendance
upon balls, &C., was concerned, was dsei-
dedly favorable to the cause Of religion, Mrs.
Polk being a member of the church, aud con-
sistent with her profession.
We may here venture to make statement
of no great interest, perhaps, but going to
show the power of maternal influence. When
Mr., Polk was President of the United States,
we We're introduced TO him at the Whisc
House, and be remarked, Il have long been
a subscriber to your paper for my aged nlo-
ther, who still lives and reads it with great
interest and attention every week.
We said to him, that his respect for the
Sabbath day had been gratifying to the re-
ligious sentiment of the country. lie re7
piled:
81 was taught by pious mother to fear
God and keep his commandments, and 1
trust that no cares of Government of my
own Will ever tempt me to forget what owe
to the Government Of God"
We have often recalled that remark. as
worthy of being repeated publicly; and now
that the mother and the son have both gone
to their final account, it is proper tina: this
fact should be put on record. Mothers may
tcacl, lessons to their sons which they will
not forget when they become Presidents.
We have heard it said that Mr.. Polk lived
mile or two from lis mother, but never
failed to visit her every day of his life, while
he was in health and in town.

A Happy Home.

The first year of married life is a most
important era in the history of man and wife
Generally. as it is spent, so is almost all sub
sequent existence. The wife and the hus-
band then assimilate their views and desi-
res, or else, conjuring up their dislikes, they
add fuel to their prejudlces and animosites
forever afterward. II have somewhere
read" says Rev. Mr.. Wise, in his Bridal
Greetings, ''of a bridegroom who gIoried in
his eccenlicities. He requested his bride
to accompany him into the garden, day OIL
two after their wedding. He then threw a
line over the roof of their cottage. Giving
his wife one end of it, he retreated to the
other side and exclaimed,
9" Pull the line"
"She pulled it, at his request, as far as
she could. He cried,
"'Pull it over
"'l can't she replied.
"'But pull with all your might shouted
the whimsical husband
" But vain were all the efforts of the
bride to pull over the line, SO long as her
husband held on to the opposit end. But

at one end, it came over with great case.
"There!' said he, as the line fell from
the roof: you see how hard and Intellectual
was our labor when we pulledin opposition to
each other; but how easy and pleasantit was
when we both pulled together! 1t will be
so with us, my dear, through lifel If we op.
posed each other, it will be hard work; if we
act together it will be pleasant to live
Let US always pull together
In this illustration, homely as it my be,
there is sound philosophy. husband and
wife must mutually bear and concede. ifthey
wish to make home a retreat of Joy and
bliss. One alone cannot make home happy
There must be union of action, sweetness
of spirit, and great forbearence and love in
both husband and wife, to secure the great
end of happiness in the domestic circle
