warning to young men, in the following Ian
gusgc:
"Tbe waters have gone over me. But out
of the black depths. could | be heard, |
would cry out to all those who have set
foot in the perilous food. Could the youth
to whom the flavor of the irst wine is delicious
as the opening scenes of life, or the entering
upon some newly discovered paradise. look
into my desolation and be made to under
stand what dreary thing il is when ne sha II
feel himself going down precipice With open
eyes and passive WILL to see his destruction
and have no power to stop it, and yet feel 1t
all the way emapating from himself; to see
all godliness emptied out of him, and yet not
able to forget time when it was otherwise;
to bear about the piteous spectacle OF his own
ruin; could he see my fevered eye, fe'erSh
with the last nights drinking, and feverlsh
looking for to.night's repetition of the folly;
could be but feel the body of the death out
of which cry, hourly with feeber Outcry, to

 TRADE WITH THE FAR WEsr.-We extract the following from an editorial which appeared recently in the Fort Smith Times. ttt t9 6 st
 "It is frequently asked why do not the people of the Southern cities do some- thing to gam friends in this section of the country, and have correspondents and agents to inform them of the advantages of extending their trade and influence throughout this country, and. we; in an- swer, must say that we have arrived al the following conclusions. iAtE i.s7i r
 "The cause of this is, neither New Or leans, Memphis or any other city in the South is reaching out for strength in this direc,ion-New Orleans being led off by the Texas railroad interests, and Mem phis is afraid 10 say anything in our fa- vor for fear she will injure the Cairo and Fulton Railroad, while St. Louis comes out boldly in favor of the Both parallel, and extends every advantage to the peo- pie of this country to patronize that city for goods, and especially to draw the bulk of the travel through there. and the influ- ence of St. Louis IS beginning to be felt more and more every day.
 i" At no very distant day trade will be opened between this city and New Mexi- co which will be of very material advan- tage to Memphis or New Orleans, but judging from their past course. we pre- sume they will lay dormantund permit St. Louis to monopoize the whole trade with lhiscity, country and New Mexico which she intends doing if she is not prevented by Southern cities. 3si'l
 1t appears the South is not aware of the importance of the influence, provided a railroad should be built from St. Louis to Texas, or California, and none from Mem |phis to intersect it here, the north would have over it and are making no effort to secure the influence of the people of this country. in bringing it properly before the people of the United States, but waiting for further developments, while the North is wide awake to it's interests and endeav- bring to bring the trade of Western and Northern Arkansas and that of Northern Texas, and New Mexico and all the Ter ritories lying west of Arkansas, to its own doors. If the people of Memphis are in favor of extending her trade to this sec. ton of country, why do not the news. papers of that city speak out--why are the merchants and capitalists sleeping They need not fear that if the Pacific Railroad is built on the 35th parallel, thai St. Louis would have any advantage, foi the people of the South, on arriving here would continue on the 35th parallel to Memphis, Tennessee, Charleston, South Carolina, and the people of the North to St. Louis.

the Church of Christ, and his hope that she would yet prosper and blessihe world, Gen. Jackson turned to me, and said, \. There is a beautiful hymn on the subject of the exceeding great and precious prom ises of God to his people. It was favor- ite hymn with my dear wife till the day of her death. It has been very precious 10 me. It commences thus:
 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord. ' wish you would sing itnow.' And, at his request the little company in the Her mitage sang that beautiful hymn. fI
 1.-The sublime and glorious doctrine em- bodied in that hymn was the food of his spirit, the joy and rejoicing of his heart. When looked upon him, now desola:e, in extreme old age, his early friends al- most entirely gone, his beloved wife in the grave, his own health failing amidst accu- mula,ing infrmities, yet reposing with ab- soute satisfaction and serenity on the free, and everlasting Gospel, was forcibly re- minded of that rich, unparalleled para graph near the close of Chrisl's sermon on the Mount: Therefore whosoever hear- eth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon rock. And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the wlnd blew, and beat upon that house, and it fell not for it was founded on a rock
 "I walked into his garden and there was the grave of his wife, covered with a plain marble slab, with the inscription, Rachel Jackson with the date ol her birth and her death, and beside it was his own grave, all prepared and ready for the reception of his body, when death should call him home. a .s.a D,,s#l5 e.
 "I learned that when the weather was good he spent a portion of every day al this grave, in meditation and prayer; and that he believed he was there blessed with the presence of Him who has taken the sting from death and the victory from the grave. returned to the house. My par. ents had long been his particular friends but they are now departed. He met me in the hall and said, Your father and youI mother are gone! silently assented my emotions forbade me to speak. We'll, said he, they lived to good old age. It is impossible for any one who never heard General Jackson speak to under. stand all the interest he threw into this brief Bible quotation. His attitude, his tones, the whole manner of the venerable man, impressed me with a sense of new beauties in that precious promise, (Gen. xv.. l5, Thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in good old l ace"
