C.and Elizabeth Goosey, aged years and
months.
Thus the domestic circle, cheerful and
happy, Is filed with sorrow and grief, when
death takes from it the tender, lovely object
|of parental love. None but parents heart
can feel the loss. The tenderness Of ties
broken: and that heart can never cease to
dwell with melancholy pleasure upon the
incidents in the short life; the lovely traits
of character, and the evidences of affection
which had been so often its delight and
comfort. Yet, when our heavenly Father
calls, we must yield our sweetest treasure,
the object of our tenderest- warmest love

answered, .''Tis WE'LL
Remember its beauty and grace,
Where the tones Of its laughter did tunefully
swell
In affections delighted embrace,
And through their long fringe, as it rose from
its sleep,
Its eye beamed rapturous ray.
Iwonder that silence should lettle so deep
Ger the head Of being 50 gay.

ed, .'Tis WE'LL"
It hath tasted Of sickness and pain,
Of the pang, and the groan, and the gasp il

side,
In the garments of glory and love,

And the. choir of the blessed above.

In the House OF Commons, the same day,

in the form Of the Government Of France,
and that an Emperor had been proclaimed

that in accepting the title Of Napoleon III,

KING We deeply regret that indisposition
has made it necessary for Mr.. King to re-
sign the presidency Of The senate-a station
which he has filed with 50 much dignity
and ability-zand we are sure that the whole
body over which he has presided sincerely
laments the necessity which has Withdrawn
him from that chair. We trust that his dis
ease may be but temporary. and that he
may be able to resume his stationsin the
Senate as Vice President of the Union. He
has had long experience in parliamentary
concerns, and was peculiarly qualified for
the station which he has been compelled to
resign.

Gov. FooTE 80 Observer the well in
formed Washington correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Ledger, writing under date Of
the 18th ult., thus alludes to Gov Foote's
present position, and predicts his coming
triumph:
As to Gen. Foote desiring or coyeting a
place in Gen. Pierce's cabinet, / have the
evidence before me that he does not. He
has issued an unanswerabie Address to the
people of Mississippi. an admirable states
manlike paper, to show that in the compro.
mise measures he has always been on the
right side of the question he occupied
precisely the same ground which was oc-
cupied by Gen. Pierce himself. and which
has recently been endorsed By tie entire
Union. Gen. Foote will canvass the State,
speak in every township, and in spite Of all
the lugubrious forebodings Of his opponents,
will return to the United States Senate. Let
us remember that he Is now going before
the people. not before 4 packed Convention.
or Legislature; that the Legislature which
will elect a u. s. Senator will be elected
next Gall, and that public opinion which has
endorsed the Compromise throughout the
country, cannot ostracise the men who have
been most efficient in passing the Compro.
mise through Congress. "

NO. A.
Texas Legislature-Tho Pacific rail 4.
road. &c.

We find in the Clarksville standard" Of
the 26.h ult., q bill which had been intro
duced into the Legislature of Texas, grant
ing lG sections OF land for each and every
mile Of Railroad running from some point on
the line between that State and Arkansas,
no. north Of Fulton, to FL Paso. A cores
p0ndent OF the Standard, writing from the
Capital on the 18th, expresses every con-
fidence t1at the bill will pass with little or
no alteration. He thinks it probable that
Fulton will be stricken out and the White
Oak Shoals, on Red River inserted in licu
thereof.
The bill provides that the building Of the
road shall le let. and the lands given to the
company, that "shall ofer the strongest as
suranccs and guarantees that the road will
be promptly and substantially built" The
company undertaking its construction is
required to put IN complete running order,
fifty miles of the road within twelve months
after entering into the contract; and one
hundred miles every year thereafter, until
the whole road IS cogapeted. The company
is also required 10 deposit in the State Trea-
sury a sum Of money (not less than $500
0O0,) which, together with such part Of the
road as may be completed, are 10 lie for
feitcd 10 the State, in case o. failure TO CON-
pletc fifty miles of the read wnh,n the first
year, AM one hundred miles each succeeding
year.
This gTlnt Of sixteen sections:o the niIa
amounts to 3,l92,o0o acres of land, werth
al least the full cost of the road through the
torr;jory Of Texas, which is estimated at
S2O,00O,00O.
S. FAR as we have the opportunity Of
learning, the greatest unanimity oFsentimcnt
pervades the public mind in Tcxas upon the
subject. Public meetings have been held at
various points. and the expression Of opin-
ion has been unanimous in favor of the State
a7vropriaing her lands to the construction

highway. Senator Rusl delivered 4 speech
(Which we have scen) few days before
the meeting of the Legislature, in Which be
advocated the appropriation Of twel. y-sec-
tions to the mile.
In all probability, ,hi, bill has passed tho
Legislature ere this, and become law.
