Ham.et's Observations to his Mother done into

Extremely dissmilar things ma5am:
repeat it-dissmilar things ma Jam
And say, that yet never have met
With Two more dissimilar things, ma am.
There's husband that was and your husband that is
My remark may perhaps be unpleasant,
But came here tonight, let it cost what it might,
To compare them-the Past and the Present.
Oh, how you fancy your Present,
Your and contemplate Present,
Such q villainous mug, to kiss to hug,
No one ever possessed, save your Present.
Your Past had face full of beauty and grace,
In a word, he'd compare with that miscreant theme,
As Hyperion compares with Satyr;
Oh how can you fancy Satyr,
And the very worst kind of a Satyr;
You may get in rage, but l must say your age
Should have kept you away from this Satyr
In an elderly dame the blood should be tame,
Not glow like a burning carhunce
And you can't have the cheek to me now to speak
OF being in love with my uncle,
My lowlived, incorporate uncle,
My usurppg and murderous uncle;
You're quite ffty-two and its nonsense for you
To talk of love for my uncle
And when you knew mother he murdered your brother,
To wed him of what you thinking
should think that you'd lived with my father
A very bad habit is drinking
But don't put stop to his drinking,
He'll become quite sot, and what small brain he's got
Will soon be destroyed by his drinking.
Oh, would that might, convince you tonight,
Of the Nervousness of your behav Jour
You're my only mother, can't get another,
And so from perdton I'd save you,
If it isn't too late now to save you,
And if would wish to you.
A little more virtue think wouldn't hurt you,
Though it may not be able to save you. DELTA.
The following beautiful and touching little Incl
dent is related in recent Manchester paper:
Yesterday Sabbath mornng,) at the ring ing
of the first bells in this city. the congregation of the
Rev. Mr.. Davis or Freewill Baptist, met around the
water where the different denominations usually
baptize. The weather quite cold, it was snow
ing quite fast-the ice had been cut out and lay in
large cakes; everything looked cold and forbdding.
After singing and short but feryent prayer by the
pastor, for the Spirit of God to rest on all present.
he rose from his knees and led young man into the
water and immersed him. Next followed young
lady. AS they towards the centre of the pond,
amid the snow falling thick and fast, ther" came a
beautiful dove lowering the congregation, and
actually lit down the ice, and walked around but
little distance from the administrator and candi-
date At the moment the minister remarked,
And the spirit rested on him in the shape of dove
1t of the most beautiful and touching Incl
dents We witnessed in the administration of a
religious rite. Indeed it seemed to call up in the
minds of Christians the time when the adorable Re-
deemer up out of Jordan, and God set seal to
this sacred rite"
FORGET Your INJUR1Es-f4ei is unwise and unhap-
ply who never forgets the injuries he may have re-
ceived they are indented on his face making the
visage of the injured man frightful like neglected
wounds inflicted upon the stately tree; and which
might have been effaced by the careful husbandman
They come home to his heart, when the sunshine Of
happiness would bless him, and throw him into tu-
multi that not easily subsidies. The demon of hate
reigns in his bosom and makes him of all accountable
creatures the most miserable
Have you been injured in purse character 2
Let the smiling angel of forgiveness find repose ir
your bosom and you will be fully revenged and what
is of more consequence, your health and peace Of
mind will be improved.

Louis Napoleon is said to have lately expressed
himself as follows, in which the point and erseness
his style of expression manifest.
"My life may be divided into four epochs. Jh'
first wasted in rash enterprises; the second, II
the triumph anarchy in France; the third, IN re
constituting strong Government, and in the paclh

CoUP D'ETAT.-As all newspaper readers are no

acceptable 1t means, literally, stroke of State, a
coup de grace means stroke of mercy coup de sotel
