We take the following extracts from the
Ficksburg Wing in relation to the great
race that is to como off at New Orleans en-
the 1st of April.
No race since the days Of Eclipse and
Henry not even the great races between
Boston and Fashion. Fashion and Peytona.
Wagner and Grey Eegle has aroused more
feeling five may judge from The pub ic ex
preston we have met with. 8 refresh the
reconciliations ofthose who have not pre-
served the records we viii state that il was
gotten up in New 0rlean few seasons
since and was originally intended as test
OF tn different bree of horses. Il IS q
four mile race for all ages S 900 subserip-
ton for each state and one horse to start
from each state. So far four etates-Lou-
isi ana, Mississippi, Kentucky and Alabama
have subscribed and We presume no other
subscriptions can Be allowed. e ,ch State
subscribing names the horses to start by the
decision ofthe majority of those subscribing.
Each horse starting to receive one thousand
dollars out OF the stakes, providing he is not
distaneed, and the winner to receive the
balance.

occupy new store, and with new goods in
the greatest variety, they cannot fail to

Mss j WELLlEGTos.- celebrated
SymPatliiest and wonderful lady has been
creating quite afarore during her soiourn in
this city, by the practice of her marvellous
'Irt. As we have not had the pleasure Of
seeing the lady, nor Witnessing her power,
we only know of her acts by hearsay. MAJ
ny Of this city VIZ have called upon her
assert that she possesses a power of raking
up the past events of ones life, and of di-
wing into the dim and shadowy future that
is fearfully surprising. 4fone-half that we
have heard of her be true, it certainly
proves her to be most extraordinary
young lady, and one that the blue laws Of
Connecticut century ago would have con-
signed to fire and water. Miss Wellington
leaves to-day OF the fine steamer Prentiss,
accompanied by her Gentlemanly Agent for
Memphis, stopping one day in yicksburg
where she has been visited by the elite of
the city, aud the highest literary and relig-
iouscharaeters have expressed the highest
satisfaction as well as the most unbounded
establishment at i.er revelations.

DIVINITY OF CHRIST The Redeemer has de-
clared, :" All power is given to me in Heaven
and in EARTH" This was not vain boast.
Witness the credentials with which he was fur
nished, and the many proofs he had Of the di-
vinisy both of his person and of his mission.
Three times was it attested by voice from
heaven : once at his baptism, when the heavens
opened, and the Spirit descended like dove
and rested upon him once at his transfgura-
ton, when the displays Of his god head bsaned
30 glorious through the veil of his humanity,
that the disciples were enraptursd,. and wist not
what to say and once, when SO terrible was
the voice. that some said it thundered, and
Others that an angel spake. Do you want furth-
or proof, See him imparting the light of day
to the sightlsss eyeball, giving tone and vigor
to palsied limbs, ejecting demons from their dis
tressed victims, stlling the furious tempests and
raising the dead and even in the season of his
deepest ignominy and EXTREMIST suffering, when
he bled in agony upon the accursed tree, the
heaving of the solid ground, as in the throes Of
an untimely birth-the dsrksned heavens at
high noon--the rending Of the rock--the rails
ing of the dead, proclaiming him to be the son
of God. But il was only for season that he
bowed to the empire Of death, and conds'ceneded
to ressain captive in the grave. He burst the

Whole years of joy glide unperceived away,

ADVICE TO PARENTs.-Be ever gentle with the
children God has given you; watch them con-
stantly reprove them earnestly, but not in an
ger. In the forcible language of Scripture
" Be not bitter against them." eyes, they
are good boys" once heard kind father say
81 talk to them pretty much, but do not like
to beat my children-the world will beat them.
1t was beautiful thought, though not elegant
ly expressed. Yes, there is no one child in the
circle round your table, healthful and happy al
they look now, on whose head, if long spared
the storm will not beat. Adyersity may withel
them, sickness fade, cold world irown ON them
but, amid all, let memory carry them back to
home where the law of kindness reigned, where
the mothers reproving eye was moistened with
q tear, and the father frowned "more in sorrow
than in anger"

could be holden of them; and he rose to ascend
up on high. Amid the greetings and shoutings
of cherubic and seraphic attendants, and the
morning stars of light and glorifed spirits of
the just made perfect, he entered the celestial
world and took his seat at the right hand of
God, and grasping the sceptre of universal en-

RESPECT FOR LABoR.-All plans for the regen-
Grafton of people will fail, unless they 4are in
the first place brought back to that respect for
labor which is the Distinguishing feature Of all
those young communities that are destined to
achieve greatness. We do not mean respect for
labor of particular kind, but for all labor. As
it is, we attach ourselves, generally speaking,
to some trade or calling, and if that fails, We
throw ourselves upon the State for support, or
perish We never consider that we are sent
into the world to battle with the earth, the ele-
ments, and our fellow-men for subsistence, not
BY the exercise of one faculty, or capabilty, but
of all our powers.
Elnigrants to new country are told that they
must adapt themselves to circumstances that
they must discard all prcconceived notions Of
gentility, or of confinement within particular
circles of employment, and work-work-at
anything, everything, that comes in the way.
And what is this world to us all but a new
country, into which we come naked, and mex
perlenced, 10 Wrest irom the CONTACT VI circu i-
stances the knowledge and skill that will ena-
bic us to fight the battles of life!
Why should We place ourselves IN the foot
steps of preceding individuals or generations,
and fancy the path our own peculiar world
Why should we consider every kind of labor
but TO that which we are accustomed degrading
or impossible' ALI labor is honorable, for the
end and purpose of all labor are the same lii
who works, if his work should be but hedg'
or ditch, is worthy of respect and he alon'
who stands idle, because his peculiar employ
ment has dried up, and SO permits himself tt
fall into starvation or beggeary, is a fit objec
of contempt. Respect for labor is the secret o
the rise of country destined to become great

LINES,
Written on the death Of SoPnRoNA BRIGHAM WEBSTER be
loved friend and relative, who died. April 4th, 1854
All colEy doth the coinAd
Press on the loved ones marble brow,
And sweety now her aching head
Beneath the dark cold sod rests low.
We little deemed in lif4's bright morn,
That she, the merriest Of us all,
Phat, ere own, her happy form
Would lie beneath the sable pail
But when that light unearthly shone
In her dark eye, and cheek grew wan,
We knew Death marked her for his own,
Yet against hope, We still hoped on.
fTis ever thus those we love best
And those that cherish us most here,
Are ever stricken the rest
Death loves the ones to US most dear.
We miss the light Of that fair brow,
Wemss the laughing lip and eye, ss
Yet scarce 1t seems she seepeth now
That she young and fair could die.
But though miss her from our band,
And here an aching void is left
We know that in the " better land"
None ere can die none be beref
We weep above the sacred dust,
But feel that her pure spirits flown
Unto the God in whom we trust,
To chant for aye around his throne. LAURA

a few days ago on the ground Of vic.

State Legislature, which prohibits the
sale of liquor to persons of intemper-

is the first decision of the kind under

captain of a ship, arrived from the
East Indies, has been complained of
at Boston by one Of his crew, for not
supplying them with sufficient food
The complainant is Hindoo, and in
the charge which he makes out against
the captain he is to be supported by
the testimony Of thirty Of his ship
mates, who are also Hindoos. The
captain had on board an abundance of
animal and other food, such as is used
by English and American seamen,
which he offered to his crew, but this
the Hindoos would not eat, and be-
cause Capt. Reed would not supply
them with beans, rice and fish, which
was impossible, they allege the with
holding of suitable food. The com.
plainant and the witnesses are now in
Jail, where they subsist on rice and
fish. but reject that, when cooked by

history Of the matter, however, il
would perhaps be well to say that

and in series of corse articles, called
into public question the honesty and
integrity Of the Ladies. So clamer.
GUS was Miss Tabitha" that the funds
were drawn out of the hands of w. S.
Pike, the intrest thereon stopped
and the same money re-entrusted to
the same, aoithout interest; it was
thought that this would quiet Miss
Tabitha, as it did. Now, the fund,
instead Of being nearly fifteen hundred
as it would have been, is a scant thou
sand. However it is amply sufficient
with other appliances that can be
brought in, to accomplish the original
praisworthy object Of the ladies' At
their meeting the other day, they re-
solved to put the amount out at inter
est again and apply the proceeds
thereof to keeping the ground in or
der.
If "Tabitha" is still in the land of
The living and has not lost her pro-
pensity to scribble, we should like to
hear how this resolution of the ladies
meets her appreciation.
