A kiss dropped on Sophie's glossy
head, and tighter was she held. She
wondered that Kate WIS so silent, but
still kept her face hidden in the vines.
eHe asked me to be his wife," she
continued, "askcd me as no one else

The Voice,

There is voice which we hear most audibly in
the silent hours Of night when the noise and tu-
multi of the day is ended. There is voice which
comes to us from the far-of skies when our
thoughts are lifted up in meditation to the star
decked canopy above, and lost in silent alteration
of Him who spread out this glorious expanse
around US, and inIaid it with myradS of shining
worlds which we hear in the deep breathless paus
es Of nature, when the tired pillows are at rest,
when the storm furies of the skies are hushed,-
and the mad winds and lightning -hearlded thunder
bolts are laid aside. There is voice ever utter
ed in the secret rccesses of the SOUL approving our
actions and conduct; and bearing us up in triumph
amid the conflicts of tme,--or whispering its fiery
sentences of accusation, aud goading in silence
with agony and remorse 1t is the " still small
voice" OF conscience 1t is heard at times in the
hidden avenues of every bosom, bearing its mes
ages Of peace and approval,-or uttering with its
terror-whtened lips, the language Of condemnation
and reproof. 1t is but whisper-a light whis-
per, yet, so clear, so audible, so thrngly pene-
tratIng are its accents, that they are distinctly
heard and felt above the pleading of iniquity and
and vice, or the suggestions Of passion. There are
none so pure and sinless,-none so lost to virtue
and truth; so stepped in crime that they are not
visited by its silent ministrations. 1t is faithful
monitor which God has given to guide US in our
wayward course, and would we but listen to its
gentle warnings, we need not fear, though clouds
and tempests surround our heads, and earthquakes
tremble beneath our feet There is no nook or corn
er in the vast uniyerSe where we NAV secludp our
selves from its all-perading influence. It's the
low voice of Deity, and every heart vibrates witt
love or terror,--.as its actions have been no
bic and generousor low and degraded. Il
comes alike to rich and poor to the innocent
and the guilty. To the innocent, il speaks in tone
of kind approval, cheering and encouraging then
amid the darkest scenes they may be called upor
to encounter, and irradiates the countcnance witt
sglow Of light divine. But, TO the guilty, it
slightest whisper bursts in loud thunder of reproo
and despair is written upon every feature. Oh
how powerful,-how omnpiotent is this "still smal
voice ?" Yet thousands seek in the haants Of mrtl
and gayety of vice and folly or even crime, t.
drown its chidng accents. VAN attempt Fa
; better would they seek to merit its soothing in
hnence far better would mankind submit to b
governed by its genial dictates. Were such tn
case, little would be the necessity for those gloom
dungeons which appear rs pasue-spot in man
fair village little the necessity for those law
which hang threatningly above our heads. Grim
and misery would disappear as if by magic an
society present far happier AMI more dclightfu
: appearance. c. H. P.

protect them against invasion. forbear for ths
present from expressing an opinion as to the
wisest and most economical mode in which Gov
eminent can lend its aid in accomplishing this
great and necessary work. believe that many
difficulties in the way which now appear founid-
able, will in great degree vanish as soon as
the nearest and best route shall be satisfactorily
ascertained. t...
1t may be right that on this occasion should
make some brief remarkes as 10 our rights and
duties as member,of the great family OF nations.
In our intercourse with them there are some plain
prime pies approved by our own experience from
which we should never depart. We ought to-
cultivate peace, commerce and friendship with
all nations and this not merely as the best means
of promoting our own material interest, but in &
spirit of Christian benevolence towards our fell
low men wherever their lot may be cast. Our
diplomacy should be direct and frank, neither
seeking to obtain more nor accepting less than
is our due. We ought to cherish a sacred
regard for the independence of all nations and
never attempt to interfere i'll the domestic
con Germs Of any unless this shall be imperatively
required by the great law OF self preserya-
! ton.
| To avoid entanging alliances has been max
i'm OF our policy ever since the days OF WASH
| ington and its wisdom one will attempt TO
dispute. In short, we ought 10 do justice in a
kindly spirit 10 all nations and fequite Justice
from them IN return. IL is our SlOTy tHat WHlie
other nations have extended their dominions by
the sword, we have never acquired any Territory
excepl by fair purchase, or as in the case OF
Texas, by the voluntary determination of brave,
kindred and independen: people to blend their
destlnies with our own. Even our acquisitions
from Mexico form no exception. Unwilling to-
take advantage OF the fortune of war against a
sister Republic, we purchased these possessions
under tn. treaty Of peace for sum which was
considered at the time fair equivalent.
Our past history forbids that we shall in the
future acquire territory unless this be sanctioned
BY the laws Of justice and honor Acting on
this principle no nation will have right to
interfere or to complain of the progress Of
events. We shall still fu ther extend our pos
sessions.
Hitherto in all our acquisitions, the people,
under the protection of the American flag, have
enjoyed civil and religious liberty, as well as
equal and just laws, and have been contented,
/, prosperous and happy. Their trade with the
resi- of the world has rapidly increased, and thus
every commercial netion has shared largely in
/ their successful progress. l Shalt now proceed
to take the oath prescribed BY the Constitution.
whilst humbly invoking the blessing OF Divine
| Providence on this great people

Mental Progress.
BY NJ. l.. HIGGINS.

What a subject is this OF what vast conse-
qnence to every human being, that is imhued
with the life and soul of thought. There is
nothing like il in the whole world of thought
We may search the earth, the sea, the atmos-
phere, and the whole range of natural intrlli-
gence aud We shall find nothing equal in impor
tance to the human mind. 1t is the grand basis
of all human intelligence and the grea, pathway
TO all human progress. The splendid monu,
ments of art that adorn the Capitols of nations;
the grand achievements of mind that make
glorious the pathways of science; the lofty
coruscations of genius which burn and blaze
ineffable splendor through the regions of intel
lectual life, would never have been realized but
for this.
The human mind does not spring''at once in
to the perfection Of knowledge and wisdom. 1t
is only through the slow pathway of constant
effort and progressive development, that it
mounts up the ascending grade of acknowledged
excellence and superiority. And it triumphs
only, in the grand ultimstum of unaaging in
dustry and never ceasing perseverance. o. .wha,
glorious pathway What noble birth right
What vast field for development, for acquisi
tion, for expansion and sluTost angelic delight
And what is more, it is open and free to all to
put in the sickle and reap the glorious harvest.
When viii the mass learn these facts and &c
forth into the broad field of effort and inlellec
tual strife to win the prize. When will they
destiny? Shall not the spirit of improvement
and progressive development be invoked Mus
the great mass Of mind remain inactive, with
its vast resources undeveloped. its great capac
tiles unimproved? There is no good reason
why the MANY should aspire and reap the spoi
of successful career. Let but reasonable
share of energy. and ambition be aroused anC
great results will follow-a certain reward vii
be ensured.
Why, who does not see, that If we would b,
mrn we must qualify ourselves for manly po
sitiun? If we would rise above the gIade D
the.animal. up to the standard Of true excellence
knowledge. aud wisdom. we must rise BY ou
own industry. Without this we may live anC
die, perhaps. with no other cognomen than tina
which belongs to grown up children ;"-snr
our minds remain as insenslblc to cultivation
and refinement as barbarism itself. But, will
mind doubly resolved. with purpose tru
and strong: with determination that neve
fdlters, we may reach the post Of success, ant
plant the stsndard of victory. The highes
battery may be scaled. while the gnnd ides o
self culture will live and grow like flame o
fire, constantly rising higher and higher.

TO THE WIND.

Sweep on, thou stern, wild, wailing wind
There's music in thy moan,
That wakes within this weary heart,
Full many an answering tone;-
Thou breathest DER its sumberiug chords,
Strange memories, all thine own,-
Rouse not its olden minstrelsies,
Pitiless wind, sweep on
Yet, yet they cannot make my way
More dark and dreary Scent
1would that they were mine once more.
If only in dream.
Bripg from the souls long treasured graves,
The hopes that once could be
Stars in the night Of life-yet they
Are nothing nob, to me.
Show me, how one by one, their rays
+, Faded from Out the sky
How the long nights, and cherries days,
l. Dragged slowly, sadly by
How surely DER the hearts loved,
. Creptthe cold worlds alloy
1would be strong and stength is born
or sorrow-nOt ofjOy.
Bold and triumphant as thine own
would my course might be,
Still. mid the sunshine and the storm,
On ever on-like thee.
So shall those visions pass away
30 shall the future years,
Rise prOuder, grander, lofter through
The baptism Of tears.
