WATCH, MOTHER.

tn. following is beautiful--one OF tnose
Hs gems which touch the heart:
Mether, watch the little feet
Climbing o'er thc garden wall,
Bounding through the busy street,

Eeyer mind the moments lostj
Never mind the time it costs;
Y;tt'e feet will so astray-
Gnide than, mother, while you may.
N.,fh.r! watch thu little band
Picking herries by the way,
Making houses in the sand.
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask:
* tsyYhy to me the weary task ?'
Thesa same little hands may prove
Messengers OF light and love.
Mother! watch the little tongue
f2A Pratinr eloquent and wild (;
What ia said and what is sung,
By the ioyous, happy child,
81 Catch the word while yet Hnsroten,
Stop the vow before 'tis broken:
This same tongue may yet proclaim
Blessings in the Savior's name.
Mother! watch the little heart,
Beating soft and warn for you;
Wholesome lessons now imrart;
Keep, o keen that young heart true.
Extric ating every weed,
Rowing good and precious seed;

had buried them in miniature in the Catho-
lie burying ground. since which time they
suffered all the pangs Of death, and die

rial the witches came TO them and offered
to relieve them, provided they would give
them a doilor each. Accordingly, ons

TIE THREE FTrrHs PRIFcIPLk IN THE
coNsT,rUrIoN.-There is no part of the Fed
eral Constitution against whichthe Black
Republicans wage more vigorous war
than what is called the three-ffihs' basis
OF representation. They constantly assert
that by that provision the slave States have
greatly the advantage over the free. Ow.
ing to the fact that il hss not been eener-
ally explained by the Democratic press,
and speakers, an unusual amount of isno.
rance exists In relation to it. It is by no
means an uncommon thing, says the E.
mira Gazette, for Black Republican speak
| ers to tell their audiences that a man hay.
ing one hundred slaves in the South, in
| fact, gives si1ty-one votes at the bailo,.box
--one for himself and sixty for his sl,ves
upon the basis of three votes for evsry
ave slaves. Their newspaper orgsns eth
er ignorantly or designedly. often intimate
the same idea. Now. the fact is, that in
no State of the Union does man give
| more than single vote, and the three.
| fifths' basis is positively disadvantage
| and source OF weakness to the South. In
! ,he North, so far as respects Congression-
| al representation. if there are ninety thou
sand negroes in State ali additional men,
ber is gaines-a negro being the same a.
| white. though no political privileges what
ever are allowed them. But in the South
| FIVE negro slaves are counted in the Con-
gressional representation as only three
whites, so that it takes one hundred and
twenty thousand negroes there to have q
| member Of Congress; when, at the North,
| ninety thousand will do. 1t is obvious,
| therefore, that the three fifths' basis of the
! Constitution is disadvanisgeous to the
South, and that her citizens, rather than
those at the North. have reason TO COM
plain of It. If it was abolished, and
Southern negroes in representation, tle
slave States woald have twenty members
of Congress more than they have nosr.
This is what the North gains by the three
| fifths' basis. yet we constantly hear fippant
and shallow Black Republican ora,ors de-
claiming against it.-Usion .freus.
