The MoTHER.-Despise not thy moth
er when she is old. Age may wear and
waste mothers beauty, strength, limbs,
senses, and estates; but her relation as
mother is as the sun when it goes forth
in his might, for it is always in the me-
ridian. and knowing no evening. The
person may be grey-headed, but her
motherly relation is ever in its flourish.
1t may be autumn, yes, winter, with a
woman, but with the mother, as mother,
it is always spring. Alas, how little do
we appreciate mothers tenderness
while living! How needless are we in
youth of all her anxieties and kindness |!
But, when she is dead and gone-when
the cares and GOODNESS of the world come
whitening to the heart-when we expe-
rience how hard it is to find true sympa-
thy-how few love us for ourselves
how few will befriend us in misfortune
then it is that we thinkof the mother we
have lost.-Rural Nea0 Yorker.

DROWNING SENsATIoNS.-In your
twelfth volume there are several COM
munications on the singular sensations
which some persons appear to have ex-
perienced in drowning. l will not ques-
ton the veracity of those who have un,
dergone the fearful ordeal. but | take
the liberty to think that they must have
been persons of very queer psychological
idiosyncracies. l havemyself been twice
drowned to insensibility; once in the
river Avon, in the vicinity of Rugby,
and once in the Oxford canal In each
instance, till the extinction of conscious
ness, was fully aware of the awful po-
sition in which l was placed, quite col
lected, free from acute pain, and hope
less ofbeing saved fromimpending death.
But had no particular remembrance of
any thing. either good or bad, which
had occurred during my past life. And
as consider myself fair specimen of
humanity, neither much better nor much
worse than my neighbors, I am disposed
to conclude, from what / have heard
and seen, as well as suffered, that the
experience of nine out of every ten per-
sons who have been drowned and recov-
cred, accords with my own.--Notes and
Queries.

LADY ELECTIoNEERING.-F had
most able canvasser in the person of the
beautiful Duchess of Detonshire. Her
grace freely bestowed kisses for promi-
ses of votes, and had no less than three
of her own carriages constantly en-
gagged under her immediate directions
in bringing electors to the polling-booth.
The lampoons upon her character
seemed only further to excite her ener-
gies, and she speedily became so great
an adept in 'lectioneering tactics as to
assume their principal direction on be-
half of Fox.
Her grace attended the meetings
sometimes in male attire-spoke, cajol-
ed, chaffed, dral k, smoked, treated,
p omised, begged, ordered, bullied, threa-
tened sang, danced, prayed, and cried,
to further the cause of cher man." AS
an instance of her enthusiasm it was told
that, whilst she was canvassing a butch
er. by some accident her shoe became
so much torn that she could not keep
it on.
In this embarrassment she kicked the
shoe away, and said
See l go barefoot to serve my
friends !"
She won the vote, which had been
promised to Wray.
Upon her asking candle-maker for
his vote
81 will give youra plumpcr, said the
man of grease, land procure you FIVE
more on certain condition"
"Wlfat is that p
That your grace will give me kiss"
"Why, them" said the duchess, "take
one"
These familiarities were in turn bro't
into use by other ladies of high rank
both for and against Fox.
The committee over which the Ouch
ess of Devonshire presided had among
its members the most celebrated beau
ties of the day. The Duchesses of Rut-
land Portland, the Countesses of Carlisle
and Derby, Ladies Beauchamp and Dun
cannon, and, in fact, most of tho ladies
Of rank in London, were engaged in the
contest and, in many instances, much
to the dissatisfaction of their husbands.
The hastings were constantly beset
with carriages, either employed in bring
ing up voters or encouraging adherents
to their presence. The obstinate and
opposite canvassing fairly bewildered
the Westminster tradesmen, and many,
to ease their lives, left town for the coun-
try. One lady had a troop of millners
IN carriage occupied in making up
| cockades for Lord Hood, and distribu-
ting them to the spectators.
Her Grace of Rutland superintendent
the distribution of the rum-grog to Lord
Hoods sailors and soldiers, that Fox's
partizans could the more easily defeat
them; and she encouraged the fierce
battles between the maIrow-bones and
cleavers of the seamen. The Devon
shire ladies had balcony erected in
Henrietta street, and there they greeted
friends and foes as they passed to the
hustings. The secret committee was
held here. An example thus set by the
higher classes was not long before it
reached the Westminster danes of ev-
cry grade; and Sir Cecil Wray very
soon found that he had more to fear
from the women than from all Fox's and
Hoods roughs together.

attempted AssauH.-Dobson the Ex-
pressman between Downieville and
Camptonville, says the Sierra Democrat,
had pistol snapped at him one day last
week, by a highwayman. The cap fail
ing to explode, allowed him time to get
out of reach before another attempt
could be made 1t will be recollected
that Dobson is the Expressman who so
successfully defended the treasure in his
charge last summer, when an attack
was made on the Camptonville stage,
and the driver shot through the arm
On that occasion he shot one of the at
lacking party, and then coolly threat
ened to shoot the driver if he did not
hurry up his horses--not knowing that
the latter's whip hand was disabled by
shot from the road Dobson is a
brave fellow, and will be the death of
some of these highwaymen, if they don't
let him alone.
