Lovely Incident.

O'SNJ
What parent,o reading the annexed ex-
tract, can fail to reflect on the lesson it
suggests? How important that, when the
parent has departed, the example left be-
hind them may be such as the child can be
thankful for. To watch for and train the
budding thoughts of an artless child, is
one of the noblest offices father or mother
can ell. Truly hath it been said, that 'out
of the mouth of babes and sucklings
strength hath been ordaincd.' What could
give greater strength to that widowed
heart than such a scene with her daugh-
ter:
She kneltat the accustomed hour, to
thank God for the merc;es of the day, and
pray for care through the coming light; as
usual, came the earnest God bless dear
mother, and, but the prayer was stilled;
the little hands unclaSped, and look of
agony and wonder met the mothers eye as
the word of hopeless sorrow burst from
the lips ofthe kneeling child--"I cannot
pray for father any moreP' Since her lit
tie lips had been able TO form the dear
name, she had prayed for a blessing upon
it; had followed close after mothers name,
for he said that must come first; and now
to say the familiar prayer and leave her
father out! No wonder that the new
thought seemed too much for the childish
mind to receive.
waited for some moments, that she
might conquer her emotion, and then urg-
ed her to so on. Her pleading eyes met
mine, and with full heart, too much al
most for utterance, she said--'Oh, mother,
1 cannot leave him uR;; let me say thank
God that had dearta once! so can
still SO ON and keep him in my prayers. ;
And so she always does, and my stricken
heart learned lesson from the loving in
genuity of my child. Remember to thank
God for mercies past as well as to ask for
blessings for the future.

Southern Quarterly Review.

We regret 70 see that our friend. Mr. Mortimer, the

ton Of abandoning the publication OF the same unless
its patrons will properly apprecateits importance, and
their duty and afford the necessary means 10 prosec

whole South. We contribute largely to the support o.
Northern and Foreign Magazines and Reviews, and
yet suffer our own cherished and faithful Periodicals

views to drag cut burdened and uncertain existence
Out of fourteen thousand dollars assets is it possible
that not onefourth canSbe made available9-a sad
commentary upon the people Of the South. How is it
that we can pay for foreign Papers and Magazines7
because they cannot be obtained without the money
No wonder we are laughed at and ridiculed by our

say Let every man knowing himself indebted to the
publisher, forward the money Immediately; for the
pride of the South do rot let this valuable quarterly

Forgiveness.

In our moral reflections we can contemplate no viz
tue more desirable or trait Of character commen
dable in man or woman than this for it is the very
basis Of all the other virtues another name for charity
and the true source o. happiness Without it, there
can be no reasonable hope for the enjoyment Of the
present life, and of that which is to come.
The truly noble heart is always panied when made
conscious Of having inflicted without design, wound
upon the feelings OF another, and is ever as ready to
make Ieparaton to the injured one, that is to
ask it. aye may be- that Of the two the unconscious
offender when advised of the fact suffers most. The
pride of man is serious barrier to proper under.
standing, and adjustment of differences among his
fellows and it often occurs that the who is injured
laborng under an entire prehension-believing
that intentional wrong was meant is too slow to ask
for information and thus many of the most serious
difficulties which have disturbed the social relations
have happened, when single word in season, a soft
answer which turneth away WRATH and not grevous
words which stir up anger-miglt have healed the
wound, and restored peace and tranquility to the
troubled heart. 1t is better always to avoid giving
offence, but sometimes it unaroidably occurs; and
surely it is no part of honest honorable man. to
refuse to make restitution when convinced OF his
duty to do so.
Men are often very inconsistent when they think
themselves the most consistent and in trying to i'm.

1t belongs to human nature to err but it is an attr

proper working Of the Department, arises from
the fact that the government has no control
over railroad companies, and has to pay them
what they ask for the service, or else the mails
will stop. The Post master General has fur
nished Congress with innumerable instances
where the railroad companies have refused the
same compensation for carrying the mails that
is paid them for other freight or by Express
Companies. 1t may be that Congress has no
power to regulate this matter-certainly the

ONE OF THE REsULTs.-We expressed an
opinion yesterday that the passage Of the Me-
braska bill would be of no practical benefit to
the South. By this we simply meant that we
did not think that any of the territory thus or
ganized would become slave States. But some
Of the results are beneficial in another point of
view. The passage Of this measure, to all ap-
pearance has drawn sectional line, dividing
lhe northern whig party from those who have
heretofore acted with them at the South. Not
a whig from the free States voted for the meas.
ure, and the closing scenes in the Senate on
Thursday. and especially that between Sena.
tors Bell and Toombs, indicate that the party
is irreconcieaby separated. The nfnrma-
ton of national parties, therefore will hereaf-
ter in all probability, be founded on the slave
ry question:; and the discussions and votes on
the Nebraska bill, in both houses, clearly in.
dicate more healthful sentiment than we had
reason to anticipate few years ago. The
democratic and whig parties, whose respective
platforms for some time past have been in a
state of natural decay, will soon be no longer
recognised in the politics of the country; and
in the new order Of things we may hope to see
the South hold her own, and eventually tri
umph over fanatcism and political phariseeism.
The dissolution Of the whig party, as nation
al organization we believe to be now fixed
fact and this one of the results of the passage
of the Nebraska bill cause US to shed no tears.

Plain Speaking.

"The following sensible remarks were made
(says the Missouri Cascads,) by aplain old
gentleman at a temperance meeting in an ad.
joining State. A young man had lately died
in th.. neghborhood from intemperance. The
speaker being called on arose and commenced
his discourse somewhat in this way.
"My Friends You no doubt will be sur
prsed when state that you have much more
regard for your sheep than for your own off,
spring-that you would rather save your NUT.
ton than the souls Of your children; and yet
think that can convince you that what say
is nothing but the plain truth. Suppose that
wolf were to visit your folds night after night,
each time destroying one or more sheep-waat
course would you adopta Would you remain
quiet, and permit him to continue his depreda.
tions unmolesteds Oh, no you would raise
the whole neighborhood, and with dogs and
guns pursue the destroyer Of your focks until
you had either killed or driven him from your
neighborhood. Wolff wolf! would be on eve-
ry mans tongue, and every arm would be
raised for his destruction. 1t is thus that you
would manifest your regard for your sheep;
but how do you act in respect towards your
children : The rumseller, more destructive
than the wolf settles among you, tempts your
children to their run destroys the happiness
of families; aud yet is taken by the hand and
welcomed to your fresdes. View yonder
grave where lies the body of a young man,
who, but for those human wolves, might this
day he in health and happiness. the consolation
of his parents; but he was precipiated into
an untimely grave by The agency Of the rum
seller; and yet this sad example has failed to
arouse your indignation, though your own chill
dren may he the next victims. You could
raise the neighborhood to destroy the wolf that
you nigh, save your sheep. but you raise no
hue or cry against the destroyet of your chill,
dren; which plainly proves what have assert.
ed, that you regard your sheep more than you
do your offspring
"Ths was plain language and, being true,
had its effect. Numbers signed the pledge;
and it is to be hoped that hereafter there will
be fewer victims Of intemperance in that neigh.
borhood than heretofore.
