ATTACHMENT TO HOME.

Ii has been said OF Americans that they
manies, less attachment to the place Of
their birth, and less regard TO their friends
Of other days, than any people in the
civilized world. They have their friends
and their homes, and cast themselves upon
the tide of uncertain and often unpropituous
adventure but no, because the society OF
friends has become irksome, or the home
OF their childhood has lost the charms Of
its pristine beauty No! deep, bitter, and
abiding are The sorrows that vntwine the
heart oi dutiful son and afrctionate daugh-
ter, when perhaps for the last time, they
look upon the form Of an aged mother,
whose years admonish all, that ere long the
cold hand Of death will eonsign her 10 a
resting place forever. Who that has ever
beheld the streaming eyes OF fond and low
Ing bosom, would clasp the hand OF her
departing child, and as the last maternal
oiiice, point him TO faith which leads TO q
happy splrit'land; who on the whole earth
That has seen this, can say tina, an American

TIE FUTURE OF NEBR AsKA.

| The Nebraska bill, having been enrolled,
! has gone TO day TO the President for his sig

who may also be permitted 10 settle in them.
The south, finding themselves cheated,

that while they secured the addition OF
twelve free States TO the Union, they have
interposed an obstacle to the future admission

should never exist, il might be tolerated
South OF the line, at the option Of the inhabi-
tants. The parties TO the question are now
restored TO their original status, and the North
will not be restricted by the compac, from
opposing the admission o! any new Slave
State, from territory South Of that line. No

fered to come IN without serious opposition !;
and the admission Of Cuba as a Slareholding
State ,cill also be resisted irih more pert,nac,ty

repealed. -...
The Northern members, therefore, will
no, promote the An,i.Slavery cause by re-.
peal Of the repeating Act.
II the An,i.Slavery party really obtain a
majority in the next Congress, they will
make an effort not to repeal the Nebraska
Act, but the Fugitive Slavs Act, and throw

CANNOT CALL HER MOTHER.
BY SARAH T BOLTON.

The marriage rite is over, .....
And though turned aside ~
To keep the guests from seeing
The iears could not hide; s
wreaihed my face in smiling,
And led my little brother n
To greet my fathers chosen.
But could not call her mother.
She is a fair young creature,
With meek aud gentle air,
With blue eyes soft and loving,
And silken sunny hair
know my father gives her
The love he bore another,
But if she were an angel .H
could not call her mother.
To.nigh, heard her singing
A song | used 10 love, '
When It's sweet notes were uttered
By her who sings above;
II panied my heart to hear it,
And my tears could not smother,
For every word was hallOwed
BY The dear voice of my mother.
My father, in the sunshine
Of happy days 10 come,
May halt Jorge, the shadow r..sH
That darkened our old home;
His heart no more is lonely, H 'f.
But and little brother ..t
Must still be orphan children
God can give US but one mother.
They've born my mothers picture ...
From its accustomed place,
Aud Sc, beside my fathers
A younger, fairer face;
They've made her dear old chamber
The bondoir OF another,
But | will not forget thee,
My own, my angel mother.
