] and character, that the East is indebted fol
 the example and the benefactions of this wiss
 and good man.
 Sir Jamsetsee not long since was presented !, with the Freedom of the City of London-a compliment perhaps never before bestowed up on an idolatef, as he would be called in Exeter Hall, but which has certainly been seldom de served by the most orthodox of believers A public meeting has been held at Bombay within q few months. for the purpose of making ar
 engagements for erecting statnte to him as a
 public benefactor, and last month, in London,
 a meeting was held and deputation appointed
 to wait npon the President of the B0hrd of
 Controt, (who is the Secretary, so to speak, for
 India) to bring before her Majesty's Govern jeebhoy, and to urge the propriety and justice
 of conferring upon him some further mark of public honor as recognition of their value.
 1t seems that this Paynim knight is desirons of having his knighthood transformed into bar onetey, so that his title may be continued iu his family--a very moderate and beseeming am bition. one would think, and one that the Brit ish ministry conld very well afford to bestow. At least, we are perfectly sure that much higher honors have been bestowed upon men of far in ferior merit, and iar services of much more equivocal description. Whether any opposition will be likely to come from the Order of Bar onets who may not relish seeing the Bloody Hand predominating in the field of the coat armor of Gueber, we have not heard, nor yet whether it would be regarded if it did come. But we would suggest, in case of such possi- billty, that this pagan philanthropist would no more than fairly counterbalance that eminent Exeter Hall Saint, and ornament to his order, Sir John Paul Dean the swindling banker.
 It seems to us that such man as Sir Jam- setsee Jecjeebhoy is doing good work for In- dia and for Christianity, pagan as he may be. Any successful attempt to force the opinions and habits of strange people on another race must have the result. The best and only pre- paration for the reception of purer religious faith is through the material civlizaton, the of the condition, physical aud men, tal of the heather races This work such man as this wise Parsec Philanthropist is doing in the best way practicable, and be believe that when he gives the account of his stewardship he will go up justified rather than many Phafisce who would bid him stand farther of, as less holy than himself-.N Y. 1fibnae

 Democratic Songs. Are there no siolets by the roadside springing No modest daisies by the dusty path In lonely lanes no warblers ever singings on rock-ribbed hills no truant broohlets' laugh Is the highway, where weary manhood wanden, toilsome journey. desolate and longf Where no tired laborer in the evening ponder Ger rude romance, or rowing minstrels songs oi there are fresides, poor, hut never lonely. Whose household words are toil, and care, and
 bread;
 Where mothers told their legeis old and homely, Ger the rude cradle and uncurtained bed o! there are souls among our work-worn brothers Deep moved by genius, and with thoughts sub-
 lime,
 Pure-hearted sires, and gentle. loving mothers, Whose humble virtues shall illumine time o there are graves by children dearly tended, On barren hills, and wild, unlovely plains, From whose dark porch angelic forms ascended, When heaven was vocal with enrapturing strains From thoughts like these the soul draws inspiraton sing of cottages and way-sidc flowers, Of humble life, and every days relation, Hopeful to cheer some weary brothers hours, Who seeks no friendship with his powerful neigh

 Who asks no need beyond his honest due, Whose hands are hard from years of patient labor, Whose love is C, IS. mt, and whose soul is true

lOriginal.l The Senator's Mother.

xu0 SeudL8I'S MOtue1. Among the middling walks of life,
 A servant girl in yonder town, She toiled till she became wife
 In that low house of sober brown; She early learned to brew and bake,
 And all of household duties share, Could press a cheese, make bread or cake, And well frugal meal prepare. The strong old dame who brought her ur, In youthful days hal woyc and spun, Basted, and sewed and knit and cut
 Besides the dairy work she d done ,s And still about her busy wheel,
 Less supple with her hands than tongue, She duly brought the girl to feel
 How woman worked, when she was young. "'Twas we'll enough" she said, ito go And learn to read in winter time - Therefore, when far the early snow
 Had clothed the hills in frosty riine, The girl went wandering by the wood, To where, upon the windy slope, The school-house of the district stood
 Strong anchor of the village hope. And there she learned the three ground rules, Geography and grammar too, And how the brigs exported mules
 That vanished in the outline blue; And how the master lashed his slave
 Where those white sails would quickly come, And buried in an unknown grave,
 Who chief or queen had been Ut home. And there she vowed a holy word,
 If OCT babe her head should bend, To train it up to serve the Lord,
 And freedoms holy cause defend:' In God her trust was ever sure ;-
 In poverty her lot h. willed, Almost unknown, she lived obscure,
 But lived to sec that VOW fulfilled. She married in the selfsphere
 In which her early life was cast, And strove along, from year to year,
 Till that warm heart had beat its hst; A widow lone, with children four,
 And mortgaged farm, at twenty-eight, She watched the earth his form close o'cr, And lonely left the church-yard gate. She toiled, but first to heaven she prayed For strength in that stern time to aid her, And when upon her dsath-bcd laid,
 She felt that strength had not betrayed her. We may not know the weary hours,
 The sleepless nights, the many cares, But this we know, that trodden flowers Are nourished by her ehildren's prayers. In those long years, before she died,
 She did what any mother cans Reared ose who shall not be defed, A stalwart, true, New England man, Who list ming crowds in rapture chains,
 Who own the swarthy slave his brother, And her who sleeps, most proudly names, < Beloved and venerated mother. Bless thee, old dame in silence siecp
 On dear New England's rugged breast; Green may thy memory ever keep,
 Though cold the clay is round thee presti And every trusting heart that bears
 The name of mother at the home, "a Remember that by work and prayers
 The blessings of our land are won.

drawn his name from the contest. and
the Democracy, still adhering 10 their
principles and platform, have nominated
Mr.. Orr, of South Carolina, in his stead.
1t was hoped that this would lead to a
speedy organization and so it would, if
the Southern Know-nothings did not per-
sist in their course in preventing this re-
suit, so much desired by the people In.
stead of voting for this honorable aud
uncxccptionable gentleman, they still
throw their votes away on Fuller, Ri
