For the Republican.
THINGS I DO LIKE TO SEE!

! love to see Christians all strive to agree,
And yet in belief permit all to be free;
In honor and love prefering another
Receiving, the weak as well as strong, brother
I love the good man whose benevolent heart,
Is ready his aims to the poor to impart;
To the learned and unleamed he opens his door
Nor envies the rich nor despises the poor
love to see youths seeking honor and fame,
And striving to get for themselves good name;
Who scorn to be seen in the sycophants guise,
But seek to be virtuous, honest and wise.
love to see men who have plenty of funds,
Pay all of their debts without lawsuits or duns
The laborer, merchant, doctor and teacher,
And pay in advance the printer and preacher.
I love to see ladies both kind and discreet,
Who treat with respect, each gallant they meet;
But who in bestowing their delicate hands,
Look more to the man, than his money or land.
I love to see those who would write for the press
Be sure that they do not the printer distress;
With tiresome essays and unmeaning rhyme,
Which to print or to read, is scarce worth the
time O*%*%

lively little Mrs Grey, with look Of mock
distress, as she peeped her bright face into my
room. "If you'll creditit my husband hasn't

and I'm quite undecided whether to request to
have the roof raised, so that can breathe freer,
or to 90 into violent fit of mysteries" " Mat

The blood rushed to Mary's temples; she

THE ERRING.

Think gently of the erring!
Ye know not of the power
With which the dark temptation came
In some ungarded hour;
You may not know how earnestly
They struggled, or how well,
Until the hour of darknes came,
And, sadly, thus the fell.
Think gently of the erring!
Oh! do not thou forget,
However darkly stained with sin,
He is thy brother yet
Heir of the self-same heritage
Child of the self-same God!
He hath but stumbled in the path,
Thou hast in weakness trod.
Speak gently to the erring!
For is it not enough
That innocence and peace have gone,
Without thy censure rough!
1t sure must be weary lot,
That sin-crushed heart to bear,
And they who share happier fate,
Their chidings well may spare.
Speak kindly to the erring
Thou yet mays't lead them back,
With holy words and tears of love,
From misery's thorny track.
Forget not thou hast often sinned,
And sinful yet must be
Deal gentle with the erring one,
AS God has dealt with thee I!

KossUTH.-The New York Courier and En-
quirer, speaking of Kossuth and his reported
return to the United States, says:
We speak advisedly when we say, he dare
not return. We speak from knoledge and the
evidence Of our own eyes, when we say, that
he requitted the generosity of our people by
the basest ingratitude, and that before he skunk
from our shores under the alias of Alexander
Smith, he signed contract to head an expe-
dition from this city against country with
which we are at peace, in open defiance of our
Neutrality Laws. This we say we know from
the evidence of our own eyes, before the infa-
nous contract was deposited in the depart
ment Of State; and if he ventures again to
come among us, our Government whether
whig or democrat, will not hesitate to arrest
and punish him.

ONE OF THE LITTLE GIRLS IN MAINE
Miss Isabella Dunham, aged Is, daughter of
Geo. Durham, Esq, the enterprising ship build
er of that place, recently took passage in the
stage coach to Hampden, where she was at
tending school, There were with her in the
coach several young gentlemen, who set the
Maine Law at defiance by drinking from a
bottle which one of them took from his pock-
ct. Considering herself insulted, she called
on the driver to stop, and jumped from the
carriage. Although solicited by the driver to
return, she persisted in walking the remainder
of the distance, about mile, to the no small
modification of the nice yonng men.
