MORAL READING.
A Mothers Love.

If there is anything this side Of heaven
to which the word holy may be oppropri-
ately applied, it is the warm, gushing, de-
voted love known only to mother S heart.
This is love which is never exhausted,
never Is oradicsted, never changes, never
wearies. It hopes on even against hope,
and ceases not till tho beatings Of the
mothers heart are chilled in death.
A father may lose his affection for his
child. Improper conduct, long continued
dissipation, may alionate that fathers feel.
ings, and he may disinhcrit his SON.
Brothers and sisters may become enemies.
! They may forget all the associations of
childhood, and grow up into life, hateful
and hating one another. Husbands and
wives may provo rccreant to the solemn
VOWS they have made before God and man =,
and may become prosecutors and prosccu-
tors of each other. But mothers love,
what can ALLEVIATE that 7 1t cndures through
everything. In bad report and in evil
reputc in face Of the condemnation of the
world in spite Of ingratitude, unklndnoss
and abuse, daily exhibited towards her,
she still loves on,
Wicked as he may be /; shuncd by his
companions frowncd upon by the austor-
ely good; dcspised by his brothers and
sisters; discarded by his father degraded
by his vices; the jest of the profane, and
the song OF the drunkard, still the mother
loves on. She alone of all his kindred,
cborishos the hopO that he will yet see the
evil Of his doings, and repent, and be
clothed in his right mind. All, she can.
not forget the feelings that stirred her soul
when tiny form was placed in her arms
and she felt the warm, soft breath upon
her cheek from the little one which God
had given her. She cannot forget the in
FAINT smiles, which filled her bosom with
delight, when his eyes met hers, as ho lay
in his little cradle. She cannot forget the
Joyous, ringing laugh, and the gleeful shou
of his boyhood. No, no. All these thing
como back upon the mothers heart and
though all the world desert him she cannot
give him up. Blessed mother You are
right. There is some good in him yet
and who knows but that hopeful, brave
spirit of yours, that never despairing trust
that abiding faith, that earnest prayer, all
embodied in that maternal love, will ye
bring him back to paths of recttude and
virtue.
Let no young man ever think lightly o.
q mothers love.-OHUe Branch.

A Devoted Wife.

A correspondent of the Boston Post re-
latcs the following in referring to the recent
accidental death Of Col. Wynkoop:
Col. Wynkoop, Of Pennsylvania, led into
the field in Mexico regiment second in
point of discipline to no regiment of vol.
unteors, except, perhaps, breckenridge
Kentuckians. He was distinguished in
many engagements; he captured General
Valencia and staff; and, at the close of the
war, he returned home with laurels. He
Is now dead The circumstances are ia
miliar. With his wife who is now an in.
valid, he was visiting the interior of Penn.
sylvania for recreation and change of scene.
The country is wild there, and sparscly
settled. One morning he went out with
his servant to shoot game for his wife. In
handing him the gun, the servant by acci-
dent discharged it; the contents took effect
in his leg, severed the artery, and he lived
but few minutes. This has been told
before.
An absurd superstition prevails among
the ignorant inhabitants Of the region,
against touching dead body before an
inquest has sat upon it. The servant had
been sent ut once fer aid to some distance
and in vain did Mrs. Wynkoop cndoavor
to iuducc-by supplications, by promises,
by offers of money-thc stupiied ncighbors
to shelter and care for her husbands body.
1t was dark night. He still lay where
he fell; and there, in that bowling wilder
ness, with the clammy dampness of mid
night gathering on her garments, did tha,
delicate woman, as frail as the wild flowers
around her, that folded their petals toge.
ther in that weird solitude, sit alone on the
chill turf, supporting on her knee the head
of her husband; and there remained, keep,
ing her lonely vigil until the breaking o
gray dawn, alone with her dead and will
her bleeding heart.
If the incident be q sad one, it becomes
season set apart to lessons and pledges
of affection.

Reflections of Death.


Heavens what moment that must be
when the last futtor expires on our lips!
What a change! Tell me, yc who are
deepest read in nature and in God, to what
new worlds are we borne ? What new be-
ing do we receive? Whittier has that
spark unseen, that unoomprehonded intel
ligence hedl Look upon the cold, liyid,
ghastly corpse that lies before you That
was but shell, a gross and earthly cov-
ering, which held for while the immortal
essence that has now left It to range, per-
haps, through illimitable space to receive
new capacities of delight-now powers of
perception-now glorics Of bcatitudc -
Tho thousand fancios rush upon the mind
as it contemplates the awful moment be-
tween life and death! 1t is q moment
big with imagination's greatest hopes and
fears it is the colsummation that clears
up all mystery revolves all doubts which
removes all contradictions and DESTROYS
error-Great God what Hood OF rap
turo may at once burst on the departed
soul The uncloudod brightness of tho
celestial rcgions-the tarc existence of
ETHEREAL boings--thc solemn secrets of ma
turc may then be divulged the immodi-
ate unity of the past, the present, and the
future-Strains of unimaginable harmony,
forms of imporishablC beauty may then
disclose themselves, bursting on the dc.
lighted senses, and bathing them in moa-
surclcss bliss The mind is lost in this
excess of wOndrous light, and dares not
Iurn from the heavenly vision to one SO
gloomy, SO tremendous, as the departure
of the wicked! Human fancy shrinks
back appalled,; while hope and charity
whisper to the bleeding heart that there,
where all mercy is, there too will be for.

A Model Legislature.

We are glad to see that more attention
is paid, in some sections of the country, to
the character of the men who are to rep.
resent the people in the Legislature. In
this respect, old Kentucky is looking up.
The editor of the Bradstown Gazette, wri-
ting from Frankfort, says that the Legis-
laturO Of that State "is composed of fine
looking, wcll-drossod, and well-behaved
men, and that among the whole number
there are but five drunkards, and only
some eight or ten foOls-a smaller number
than was ever counted in any previous
General Assembly"
We really hope that this kind of reform
in kentucky, will be followed up in other
States, Of how many States can it be
said, "They have less fools than usual in
the Legislature

COMMUNICATION.


Experience has taught me that the life
of the Christian is indeed continual war
fare; and moro especially is it the case
with YOUNG CONVERTS. Surrounded with
temptations on every hand, and bcsotments
on every side, you will find it necessary to
ever be on the watch. Every means that
Satanic genius can invent, will be made
use of to lead you from the fold Of Christ.
You will find temptation lurking wherever
you go; yes, at every turn in life, you will
find snarcs spread for your feet, and I
would warn you that you get not entangled
in the meshcs, Even under the mask Of
innocence will the tcmpter seek TO ingrati-
ate himself in your favor and my advice
to you is, tc ever be on your guard against
his devices. He will tell you that there is
no harm in enjoying in light and trfing
conversation; reading trashy novels, at
tending balls, parties, plays, &C., but belieue
him not; any exercise that will draw the
mind from SACRED DUTIES, will rctard
your progress in the divine life. 'Tis true
the young should be social and friendly,
but it is net necessary that they should
display their friendship by making a sacri
fec of their sacred truths upon "unholy
altars." Christ said, "Come you out from
the world and be yc separate" Now this
certainly must mean, that professed Chris
tians should pursue different course from
the former one; and also, that they should
converse and act that they may be the
means of pointing sinners to the Lamb o
God that taketh away the sins of the
world" How necessary then that you
should be ever careful what you say ard
do; always remembering that you are
constantly and closely watched, There
are those who would exult in your down
fall.
The question has been asked, who shall
be the first to bring reproach upon the
cause of christianity? And l repeat it -
What orc among you shall, like doubling
Peter, deny your Master! or, like Judas
bctray Him into the hands of hiq enemy
God forbid, that one of this little band
who have lately been converted in Blooms.
burg, shall thus forfeit their claims tc
eternal life.
There is one thing in particular I would
have you guard against-it is indulging il
'1rong tempers never cultivate a revenge
fm spirit. A calm, unruffled temper is o
more value to the posscssor than mine o
gold. May union and love with you eve
abound; may no seed of discord ever b,
sown among you; may you ever live n
beccmeth the followers of the meek ant
lowly JESUS.

NOBLE SENTIMENTs.-Condomn no mar
for not thinking as you think. Let every
one enjoy the full and free liberty of think
ing for himself. Let every man use hi:
own judgment, since every man must give
an account of himself to God. Abhor
every approach, in any kind of degree, to
the spirit of persecution. If you cannot
reason or persuade man into the truth,
never attempt to force him into it. If love
will not compel him, leave him to God, tho
Judge Of all.

the death warrants Of Alexander Andcr-
son and Henry Richards, convicted Of tho
murder of Mrs. CARRIER and Mrs. Ream,

to the unfortunate mon. The warrant was
read to Anderson first. Whom the sheriff
concluded, Anderson remarked, in somo-
what husky voice, 81 am prepared fer
death" In reply to remark from cx.
Sheriff Martin, to the effect that his days
were now numbered, Anderson again said,
"Well, gentlemen, 1 will be prepared 10
die The party then silently left his cell
for that of Richards on the opposite side
of the corridor. Richards was standing
up in his cell, hopplcd by one foot, and
greeted the party as they entered with his
usual good.humorcd smirk. The warrant
for his execution was in the same words as
1 that of Anderson, Except the name,) and
when the reading was finished he remarked
in somewhat faltcring tones, II hope | will
be prepared" When asked if he Tcmom-
borod, from hearing the paper read, what
day he was to be executed, he said, in
April, but did not remember the day
1t was repeated, and the prisoners we're
left alone with their own reflections. An
