WATCH, MOTHER.

Mother, watch the little feet
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, shed and hall.
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the limeHt cost;
Little feet will go astray,
Guide them Mother, while you may.
Mother! watch the little hand
Picking berries blythe way,
Making houses IN the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question aek,
"Why 10 me this weary task 2"
These same little hands may prove,
Messengers Of ligh, and love.
Mother! watch the lille tongue
Pratlling frequently and wild,
What is said and what is sung,
By the happy, Joyous child.
Catch the word while yet unspoken,
Stop the vow before Ills broken;
This same tongue may ye, proclaim
Blessings in The Savior's name.
Mother! watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for you;
Wholesome lessons now impan;
Keep, O keep, the young heart true.
Extricaling every weed,
Sowing good and precious seed
Harvest rich you then may see
Ripening for eternity.

SYDNEY SMITH ON TEErorALIsM.-Sydney
Smith, in spite of his reputation as diner
out, gives some very excellent advice on the
subject Of temperance. In one of his letters,
he says he never knew gentleman who ate
or drank as little as was good for his health
In the following episile 10 Lady Holland, he
speaks more decidedly in favor Of abstinence
from all fermenled liquors:
"My Dear Lady Holland: Many thanks
for your kind anxiety respecting my health.

SO we'll. Indeed, l find that have been very

state some of the good arising from abstain
ing from all fermented liquors: First, sweet
sleep. Having Eeyer known what sleep was,
sleep like a baby or plough boy. II

stance of a conversation between Hon Mil
lard Fillmore and myself, upon the subject of
'Squatter" or Territorial Sovereignty, has
just been handed me. cheerfulIy comply
with your request, as was placed under no
restraint by him in reference to the matter.
Upon my return home from the North, /
called to see Mr.. Fillmore, at his home in Buff
fao, New York, on the 4th inst. During our
conversation, asked him what he thought of
"Squatter Sovereignty" and in reply, he en-
tered into free aud unreseryed expression OF
his views He said he was decidedly opposed
to this doctrine, as advocated by Cass, Doug
las, Buchanan, Van Buren, and others; he be-
lieved that Territory, until its inhabitants
were sufficiently numerous to authorize the
formation Of q State constitution, preparato
nv to admission into the Union as a State,
could only be regarded as in condition OF
pupilage, possessing no sovereignty whatever,
and referred to the Utah and New Mexico
Territorial bills, sanctioned by him. as a cor
rect indication of his opinions.
was gratified to find that Mr.. Fillmore &C.
cupied tile same position upon this question
which is maintained by the American party
in the South, and 10y the whole band OF Ma
tiopal Americans at the North, headed by
such men as Fuller of Pennsy lvana, Haven of
New York. and others. aud told him would
like to be at liberty to speak Of the explana
ton received from him. lie replied he had
EXPRESSED the same views to others, and that
| could make such use of them as thought
proper. Yours, truly,
