THE DEATH OF A MOTHER.

Aside from that of wife, the death
of mother has something in it more
touching than a: other event, it bursts
a tie which no other afflict!on can posi-
Div dissolve. For when such an event
does happen, we look back upon the
lays OF our infancy and childhood, when
a fond mother watched over our "out-
goings and ncomings," when the dull
uours of night were marked BY her
wakenings.
We think we have done our duty when
we have laid her in the gloomy grave,
wetting it with our tears, and raised q
stone over her dust and chsunted q
hymn to her III ,mory. But there is a
duty which maternal affection has i'm
posed upon us, and which nothing but
stern conformity to prccept can perform:
it is to follow her precepts and exam
pie, to take home to cur hearts the sol
cnln warnings which heaven born love
d:csates-to practice hose virtues which
ornanen evey depal tan Mt Of life, and
to cherish fondly the memory Of her to
whom we are indebted 10 for life, and
happiness, and, [ might almost say, for
heaven. If we fail to perform these,
we prove ourselves traitors to our nature,
to our consciences, and to our God
Golden Era.

THE DYING MINERS LAMENT

Afar from the scenes ofmy youth and my
childhood,
Ger mountains and waves, I've wan
dered away;
And here mil these rocks, these
sands and these wildwoods,
Is fading in sickness my last linger-
ing day.
Fond memory oft whispered in accents
ct sadness.
OF home and of friends, and Of joys,
left behind;
Ny wife, my dear children, their voices
Of gIadncss,
Ny fond doting mother dwells on my
mind.
How fondly I hoped, in the bosom of
home,
TO have spent the rich treasure I've
cleaned,
But all sad affection and sorrow have
Ard doomed me to die in this far dis
tant land
l have toiled in the valleys, I've delved
in the hills,
The streams aud the bars, l have
prospected Ger;
The wild dashing YnAa, the deep flow
ins rills,
The gu!cAes and ravineA will see me
M mare
BY Upright waters Aen softly in
ter me
The friends Ilove best, cannot stand
round MY bier:
No mother q sorrow. no vide to deplore
Or she'd on my grare last lingering
The tempest may howl, and the storm
.mar he4 on me,
shal lnot be@disturbed by the deep
thunder's rear;
But gently RI sleep, tho my friends
are far from me :
Ny dear native home, / shall see
thee no more.

About the close of last July, very 10
Guacious and corpulent German lady,
resident in St Pesersburgh, having quar-
relied with her servants, Russian, the
after gave information to the Prefect
ure Of Police that the former had spo-
ken Of the Russian Government in terms
Of rcproach and dlsrespect. The lady
received summons to appear before
the Prefecture to whom she replied
accordingly, vowiny vengeance on the
whole tribe Of servants. On her arrival
at the Office, the Prefecture most polite
ly received her, and ushering her into a
small box-looking apartment, common
ced reading over suadry charges against
her, which he had scarcely finished when
down sunk the corpulent lady through a
trap door in the treacherous floor. above
which nothing OF her portly figure was
to be seen but her head, arms, and crum-
pied habiliments and, shocking to re-
relate, thirty blows from an unseen
hand were administered, where, howev-
CIR, they were not likely to cause per-
manent injury, exempt to the feelings Of
the sufferer On the completion Of the
sentence, the stout lady's person appear
ed again above the ground, almost as
suddenly as it had disappeared, and the
Prefecture, in the most courteous and
polite manner, bowed her out Of the
office.-Scottish Press.

TIE RASJs OF REPRESENTATION.

lIE DASlO UT hCcII-> A-AAio
The Raleigh Star, observe, is disposed to deny
that the Wing party in this State has ever assailcd
the basis of representation
We do not propose to go either into the proofs or
argument now-but has the Star forgotten the course
on this question of Mcssrs. Manly and Kerr? Has
the Editor lost sight of that famous Western Ad-
Dress" put forth by members of the Legislature in
which the basis is so violently assailed?
The truth is the Whig party of this State is Sec
|tional as that party is in the Confederacy. In all
Its campaigns since Gov. Reid became a candidate,
lit has sought to arouse one portion of the State
against another in the hope thereby Of reganng its
lost power Its late movement for restricted Con-
venton to effect "a CHANGE in the Constitution, is
bu. a continuation of the same movement under an
nsidious disguise. We expect in due time to ex-
pose this movement thoroughly to the people. Our
appeal is to them. We know they possess the intel
igenee to understand their rights, and the frmness
10 maintain them; and their decision, when pro-
nounced, will be rreversible. We have no fears as
to the nature of that decison but, whatever it may
BE- we shall abide it cheerfuy and with that sent-
sent of respect which is always due to the popular

NOTICES OF NEW BOOKS.

Reason and Faith, and other Miscelanies of Henry
Rogers author of the Eclipse of Faith" Boston,
Crosby, Nichols & Co., 1853.
Two or three months ago We read this book-or
rather glanced through it-with relish that prompt
ed us at once to give it brief notice and commend
it to others. Our time was limited, and we were
borne along by flow of thought SO rich and ire
sistbe that in that brief notice failed to give any
than our general impression of the excellence
of its discussions its spirit of free inquiry, and the
force of its logic. In taking it up again we have
had more time to pause and reflect on what so much
delighted at first; and we furnish this second no.
tice not to detract from what said in the former
but if possible, to deepen the impression of its value
others, and by giving a list of the subjects dis
cussed, afford them opportunity of enjoying with
us rich treat in reading the book.
The volume it seems is made up of contributions
to the Edinburg Review through several successive
years. The essays that make it up all valuable
though not equally so, and it is great convenience
to have them thus collected into one volume. Those
on the Life and writings of Thomas Fuller, )" can
drew MARVEL, -" and the British Pulpit struck us
as less interesting than any in the collection. But
that on the "Vanity and Glory of Literature" is
worthy of the fine scholarship of the author, and
presents to scholars many important lessons both of
hope and humility. The Essays ON the " Genius and
writings of Pascal, and Reason and Faith their
claims and conflicts" may in this day, when Chris
tans have to meet their adversares arena be
read with advantage by all students of the evidences
and may go far to cure many fashy young man in
his too ready assumption of some of the unbelievng
theories of our time And the articles on "Luther's
correspondence and character" is just such tribute
to the grandeur and nobeness of the great Reform
er's mind and life, we love to See. The authors
views produced in the form of an examination
of Holonis Critique upon Luthers intellect and writ
ings. We think he demonstrates that Holanis Eek
cellent and well practised Judgment deserted him in
in this instance" Luthers deficiencies IN different
respects admitted and pointed out, and still he
is exhibited as "not far behind any of those who
have played illustrious parts in the worlds affairs
and as leaving behind him name, than which few
have greater claims the gratitude of mankind; ;"
nay, Mr. Rogers we'll says that even " Rome owes
him thanks; for whatever ameorations have since
taken place in her SYSTEM have been owing far more
to him than to herself"
