LEGISLATURE CT CANADA - In the Assembly on
the 10Th the resolutions for making the Legislative
Council elective were under discussion. Sir Allen
McNab opposed the principle Of the resolution.
Mr.. NORM spoke in reply. Mr.. Sanborn advocat-
led the election by the people, but opposed to
1.-THE restriction for membership. Messrs. Street and
Brown spoke against the elective principle. Mr.
|Hincks supported tho resolutions. Mcssrs Lau.
|rin, Merritt, Rose, and Mackenzie supported the
principle Of election, but opposed the details of the
especially the proposed qualifications
flor membership. Finally the subject was post
|poned TO the 22d. On the goth Mr.. Ridout moved
address to his exccllency the Governor for copies
|of all correspondence between the Governments of
canada and the United States on the subject Of
reciprocity. Mr.. Hincks said there was no CORE
1spondence Of the kind mentioned not any that could

How TO DO iT.--There is one way, and but one
3way. TO secure political victory, and that is by
bringing out the votes. .Speculatons upon the re.
3sult, at home abroad, amount to very little;
Guessing and Dragging, or refuting the guesses
and denying the Dragging on the other SIDE, nc
lcomplish nothing. The man who secures q pott
docs more than he who brags n month and claims
3every thing from Maine TO California
We honestly believe that majority OF the peo-
pie Of this country prefer Winfield Scott to Frank
Hin Pierce; and that in order to the express
sion Of this preference il is only necessary to bring
{thc voters TO the polls. This can be done only by
1close work everywhere, by every man attending
10 his district and leaving other districts and
lother States to the good wings therein.

that curtain may not rise. God grnnt that on my

Grand River times. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1851-18??, 1852-02-03
For the Grand River Times.
AWAY FROM HOME.

Away from home no father near
To counsel, guide, direct;
The strangers voice is all hear,
They're all that to me speak;
They are kind to me, yet they are none
That dwell within my humble home.
Away from home no mother now
To wipe the falling tear.
Methinks see her bending low
Engaged in fervent prayer,
TO ask of God with faith and love
That we may meet at home above.
At home above--yes where the hour
Of parting no more comes;
Where no thick cloud shall ever lower
AS prelude of dark storms;
Where sin, and death, can enter not
And all earth's sorrows are forgot.
Away from home! my fancy dwelIs,
Around that cherishd spot,
My absent home love thee well,
Thy scenes are not forgot
cannot sever loves strong chain,
For surely, we must meet again.
| can't forget that humble home,
Where those fond, loved ones dwell,
can't forget my childhood's home,
Its joys, cannot tell
/ can't forget a mothers care,
A fathers morn and evening prayer.
But oft at twilght's pensive hour,
When memory fondly burns,
feel its thrilling, magic power
All! then my spirit mourns;
That no more, did listen then
TO prayer, cannot hear again.
Away from home! I'll not repine
Since one | love is near,
His cares, his hopes, his joys are mine,
I'll Danish every fear;
And gladly make our hearth-stone bright
With true affections holy light.
Away from home God of love
Still watches round my way;
Where ere | turn or walk, or move
hear his spirit say;
A home prepared for thee above,
Where all may meet, at last who love.

CURIOUS DEMONSTRATIONS is pleasing
and profitable experiment which have often
made in my youth it is this If you place
your head in a corner of room, or on high
backed chair, and close one eye, and allow an
other to put candle upon table and if you
try to snuff your candle with one eye shut, you
will find that you cannot do it in all human
probability, you will fail nine times out of ten
You will hold the snuffers too near or too dis
tant You cannot form an estimate of the actu-
al distance. But if you open the other eye, the
charm is broken; or if, without opening the 9TH
er eye, you move your head sensibly, you are
enabled TO Judge of the distance l wish not for
my present purpose, to speak of the effect of
the motion of the head, but to call your atten-
ton to the circumstance, that when the head is
perfectly still, you will be unable, with single
eye, to Judge with accuracy of the correct dis
tance of the candle. iaa4

GET UP IN THE MoRNING.--It is singular that
people will remain in bed these lovely mornings,
and sleep away the best part of their lives
You can form no idea how lovely the morning
is, before the sun has made its appearance above
the eastern hils--how quiet the streets are, how
beautiful the birds sing, apparently with the on
ly intention of pleasing you; what an hour for
meditation! did you ever try it? Ofall the hours
that God has given US in the day, none is so cal
culated to make man admire all around him
admire himself-admire his maker--as is this
quiet hour Of early morn"

One of the worst things to fat on is Envy
In our opinion, it is as difficult for grudging
man to raise double chin, as it is for a bank
rupt to raise loan, Plumpness comes not
from roast beef, but from a good heart and a
cheerful disposition.

aged, thou pridest and respectedst, and did rev.

old hold on doing it to the last Age may
wear and waste mothers beauty, strength,
limbs, senses and estate; but her relation of
mother is as the sun when he goes forth in his
might, for it is always in the meridian, and know
eth no evening. The person may be grey-head-
ed, but her motherly relation is ever in its flour
ish 1t may be autumn, yea winter with the wo-
man-but with the mother, as mother, it is al
ways spring.

ADVICE TO WIvEs.-Sweetness of temper, af-
fection to a husband, and attention to his inter-
ests, constitute the duties of wife, and form
the basis of matrimonial felicity. These are in
deed the texts from which every rule for attain
ing this felicity is drawn The charms of beau
ty and the brilliancy of wit, though they may
captivate in the mistress, will not long delight
in the wife; they will shorten even their own
transitory reign, if, as have seen in many wives,
they shine more for the attraction of every body
else than of their husbands. Let the pleasing
of that one person be a thought never absent
from your conduct. If he loves you as you
would wish he should, he will bleed at heart
should he suppose it for moment Withdrawn;
ifhe does not, his pride will supply the place of
love, and his resentment that of suffering

A MAHoMETAN WEDDING.--One day we were
informed that Moorish wedding was to take
place. Not even the bridegroom had vet seen
his bride, though she was represented as one of
the oveliest creatures of creation and only six
teen years of age. In the evening fantastic
procession passed our door, and proceeded by
the firing Of guns, and the unrestrained merri-
ment tof human voices. AT length came the BRIDE
groom like triumphant victor, escorting the yet
unseen conquest to his own home, when arrange
ments were being made for the ceremony to be
performed He was clad from head to foot in
snowy apparel, and mounted on noble, milk
white steed. His appearance was extremely
commanding and majestic, while the enthusiasm
OF youth, and the vigor of manhood were clearly
expressed in his full and darkly glancing eyes
After him followed the concourse of his reoc-
ing friends, in the midst of whom was mule
led by two Moors, having on his back all orna-
mented cage or box, scarcely more than four feet
square, within which and secure from public scru-
tiny, was the hallowed person of the BRIDE
The procession passed by and the beautiful
Moorish girl was soon resigned to the protect
ing arms of her husband, though only to share,
perhaps, with several others the enviable sove-
reignty OF his heart. A monopoly of affections
is seldom to be met with in the land of the
NA00'' '"iCty anu clIduSe Seeul lnulSpcnSaOIy
necessary to keep the sacred spark of love alive.
PRIM PEoPLE.-There is a set of people
whom cannot bear-the pinks of fashionable
proprlety-whose every word is precise, and
whose every move is unexceptionable but who,
though well versed in ell the categories of polite
behavior, have not particle of soul or of cordi-
ality about them We allow that their man.
ners may be abundantly correct There NAV
be elegance in every gesture, and gracefulness
in every position, not smile out Of place, and
not step that would not bear the most rigid
scrutiny. This is all very fine burt what want
is the heart and the gaiety of social intercourse
the frankness that spreads ease and animation
the eye that speaks affability to ALL that cha
ses timidity from every bosom, and tells every
man in the company to be confident and happy.
This is what conceive to be the virtue of the
text, and not the sickening formality of those
who walk by rule, and would reduce the whole
of human life to wire-bound system of misery
and constraint. DR.. Chalmers.
