/" HOW BEAUTIFUL Is EARTH" !"


BY MRS. sIGouRSEy.
Oh God. how beautiful is earth,
In sun-iight or in shade;
He, forests with their waving arch.
Her a,wers that gem the glade.
Her hiliocks, white with h,ecy aocks,
Her fields with grain that glow,
Her sparkling rivers, deep and broad,
That through the valley flow.
Her crested waves that clash the shore,
And liit their anthem loud;
Her mountains, with their solemn bTows,
That woo The yielding cloud.
Oh God! how beautiful is life
That thou dost lend US here,
With tinted hopes that line the cloud,
And joys that gem the tear.
With cradle hymns Of mothers young,
And tread Of youthful feet.
That scarce, in their elastic bound,
Bow down the grass flowers sweet.
With brightness round the pilgrims staff,
Who, at the set Of sun,
Beholds the golden gates thrown wide.
And all his work well done.
Bu, IL this earth, which changes mar,
This life. 10 death that leads,
Are made 50 beautiful BY Him 49,
From whom all good Proceeds;
How glorious must that region be.
Where all the pure and bicst
From chance and fear aud sorrow free,
Attain eternal rest.

Springs, in the District of Laurens, for the ben
eft of the cause which she had adopted On
this occasion the very first dollar was contribu-
ted to the purchase of Mount Vernon.
Her eloquent appeal electrified the nation.
All hearts were touched, and hosts of gallant
men came to her help. A large amount was
contributed, but twas Gloves labor lost" for
churlish Mr.. Washington changed his mind, and
refused to sell the estate. Thus was the labor
of years lost at once A great part of the money
was returned to the contributors. But still
this dauntless woman did not despair. She ap.
pealed to the Legislature Of Virginia, and she
made appeals to individuals. Then, as we'll as
for years before, she was hopeless invalid.
Many Of her splendid productions in this cause
were written while unable to sit up, being
propped on pillows to write during intervals Of
pain. Now her work is accomplished. Mt.
Vernon is purchased. True it is not paid for,
but we believe it will be. Surely now the peo-
pie of this great country will not allow Mt
Vernon to revert, by forfeiture, to its sordid
proprietor.
For the accomplishment of this great work,
the country is mainly indebted to three persons
"a noble triumvirate. Ann Pamela Cunning
ham, Madame Octavia Walton LIE Vert, and
Edward Everett. These three names deserve
to be inscribed on the marble slab that covers
the grave Of Washington. A grateful and ad-
miring nation will not forget them.-Marion

Oh what dignifed old lady she was-how

She presented two cold, stiff fingers to her

Molina felt very desolate in the large dressing
room; and bride though she was, wanted to sit
down and have "good hearty cry" but the
presence Of Sarah a copper-colored waiting
maid as stiff as her mistress, prevented her.
"You can 80 now" she said at last.

CALHOUN ON THE SLAVE TRADE.

We subjoin the following extract from speech
OF Mr.. Calhoun delivered in the Senate in l842,
which gives the views Of the great Carolinian on
this question.
After discussing the right Of search Mr.. Cal.
houn continued:
"The other article, in reference to the same
subject, stpulates that the parties will unite IL
all becoming representation and remonstance
with and Powers within whose dominions mar.
kets are permitted for imported African slaves.
If he were to permit his feelings to govern him
exclusively he would object to this more strong
ly than any other provision in the treaty-not
that he was opposed to the object or the policy
of closing the market to imported negroes; on
the contrary, he thought it both right and expe-
dent in every view Brazil and the Spanish
colonies were the only markets, he believed, still
remaining open to which the provision would
principally apply. They were very abundanuy
supplied with slaves and he had no doubt that
sound policy on their part required that their
markets should be finally and effectually closed.
He would 20 further and say that it was our in
terests they should he. 1t would free US from
the necessity of keeping cruisers on the African
coast, to prevent the illegal aud fraudulent use
of our flag, or for any ether purpose but to pro.
tect our commerce in that quarter-a thing OF
itself much TO be desired. We would have q
still stronger interest, if we were governed by
selfish considerations. We are rivals in the pro-
duction Of several articles, and more especially
the greatest of all the agricultural staples-cot.
ton. Next to our own country, Brazil possesses
the greatest advantages for its production, and
is already large grower Of the article, towards
the production of which the continuance Of the
market for imported slaves from Africa would
contribute much. But he would not permit such
considerations to influence him in voting on the
treaty. He had no objections to see Brazil de.
velop her resources to the full but he did be.
lieve that higher considerations, connected with
her safety, and that of the Spanish colonies,
made it their interests ind their market should
be closed against the traffic.
" But, it.may be asked, why, with these i'm.
pressions should we have any objection, to this
provision of the treaty3 1t was because hewas
averse to interfering with other Powers when it
could be avoided. It extended even to cases
like the present. where there was common in
terest in reference to the subject of advice or
remonstrance but it would he carrying his aver.
sion to fastidiousness were he to permit it to
overrue his vote in the adjustment of questions
of such magnitude as are involved on the pres.
ent occasion"

Clarence looked sgrieved, but he would not
scold her then-oh! no not then and she SO
good-humored too, Poor child. So they Z" made

"Letsgo away iromhere, Clary. Yourmother,

I've nobody to please but you, daresay we
shall get on swimmingly." She laughed again.
So Clarence tookther to home Of their ocn,
furnished as sumptuously as possible; and in
her native town; and he fattered himself that
all was well-but-int the Harp of his happi-
ness, two strings were broken. His mother,
and his wife, the twodearest beings Of his heart
could never "get ontogether." And that wife,
that worshipped wife, what temper she had.
The playful quarrels Of the betrothed-her pref
ty wilfulness was not all in .fisn. No, it was o
part of her nature. Ho had discovered that to
his sorrow. The frown of the .fancee, and the
frown of the wife are. so different.
