Letter of a Dying Wife to her Eus-
band.

The following touching fragment Of a
letter from dying wife to her husband,
was found by him some months after her
death, between the leaves Of religious
volume, which she was very fond of oerus-
ing. The letter was written long before
her husband was aware that the grasp OF
fatal disease had fastened upon the lovely
form of his wife, who died at the early age
of nineteen:
When this shall reach your eye, dear
George, some day when you are turning
over the relics Of the past, shall have pas
sed away forever; and the cold white stone
will be keeping its lonely watch over the
lips you have SO often pressed, and the
sod will be growing green that shall hide
forever from your sight the dust Of one who
For many long and sleepless nights, when
all beside my thoughts were at rest, [
have wrestled with the consciousness Of APP
preaching death, until at last it has formed
itself upon my mind and although to you,
to others it might even now seem the ner-
vous imagining Of a girl, yet, dear George,
it is so. Many weary hours have passed to
reconcile myself to leave you, whom | love
so we'll, and this bright world Of sunshine
and beauty; and hard indeed it is to struggle
on silently and alone with the sure convic
ton that / am about to leave all forever
and go down into the dark valley! "But
I know in whom | have believed" and
leaning on his arm, :" I fear no evil.'
Do not blame me for keeping even all
this from you. How could subject You,
of all others, to such sorrow as [ feel at
parting, when time will socn make it APP
parent to you? / could have wished to
live if only to be at your side when your
time shall come, and pillowing Your head
upon my breast, wipe the death damps
from your brow, and usher your departing
spirit into the Makers presence, embalmed
in woman's holiest prayer. But it is not
to be-and I submit. Yours is the privi-
lege of watching, through long and dreary
nights, for the spirits final flight, and OF
transferring my sinking head from your
breast to my Saviour's bosom And you

real goodness Of nature, large sympathies,
generous emotions and impulses, are neces-
sary to greatness of mind. It is neverthe-
less true. When we reflect that the strict
est and most faithful deduction becomes
wicked deception, unless the premises are
truly laid, and that the latter alone taxes
the integrity of the mind, this distinction
will be seen to be just. Mr.. Douglas is
not without high estimates of his own
powers it is, this that makes him rely
with imperious will upon his conclusions,
for which he claims the weight of unim-
peachable testimony. He is not without
trolled by the superior faculty of ambition.
In Mr.. Seward, caution is chief element
Of his nature, on which he relies as means
to an end. Mr.. Seward rests upon ideas,
not upon logical conclusions Or deductions.
Hence his arguments embrace a long ar
ray of facts or what he claims as facts. 1t
is manifest in this respect that Mr.. Seward
addresses himself almost exclusively to the
unlearned. There is far more Of the dem
agogue in his character than in that of Mr..
Douglas. Mr.. Seward shoots into the
crowd Mr.. Doug las aims at some glitter
ing uniform, and we fear is too indifferent
whether it be worn by friend Or foe. Mr..
Douglas finds his enemies in those who do
not agree with him; Mr. Seward finds his
friends only in those who vote with him.
Mr.. Seward is no dictator. lie does not
owe his elevation to the exercise of his will
Nobody fears him. When the storm comes,
Mr.. Seward will not be on the quarter
deck Mr.. Douglas will be there and he
will certainly make a speech. 1t is speech
es that made Mir. Douglas. If he has been
all wrong in what he has said, he ought
to be busy all the rest Of his life in refut-
ing himself. That he intends to do so we
have no doubt, in view of his present posi-
tion on the Kansas question. We have
been accustomed to see Mr.. Douglas near
by; we shall now be able to recognise him
in the distance. He did not make the
Democratic party; we have no belief that
he can destroy it. Men are of day
principles will live, too often to admonish
and rebuke those who have deserted their
warnings and rejected their authority.

A Full Shower of PRAYER.

:
analogies between the natural and spiritual
worlds. Facts and phenomena in one are
often used IN the Scriptures to illustrate
the truths OF the other. There is a seed
time IN the world of mind as well as i'm
the world OF matter. The gentle dews dis
tl, and the early and latter rains de-
scend, both in the world of nature and the
world of grace. In the beautiful language
OF inspiration, the influences of gospel
grace are represented as coming down like
fssin upon the nlown grass, and like show
els that water the earth. When these re-
treshing and fertilizing influences are with
drawn, then comes drought and barren
ness, both in the natural and spiritual
world.
The necessity of revivals of religion,
those great rains Of the Spirit, is strikingly
expressed and enforced by Jeremy Taylor:
$ AS the skies drop the early dew upon the
grass, yet it would not spring and grow
green by that constant and double falling
OF the dew, unless, some great showers, at
certain seasons, did supply the rest; SO the
customary devotion of prayer twice day
But II you will increase and flourish in the
works of grace, empty the great clouds
sometimes, and let them fall in a full show
er of prayer. Choose out the seasons when
prayer shall overflow " like Jordan in
the time of harvest" In the absence of
frequent rains and showers, amid the heat
OF summer sun, how soon does the earth
become dry, and the fields parched, and
the vegetation withered and dropping 3
W hen there is little rain, there is little fruit
And this holds true in the spiritual world
as well as in the natural. When there are
few outpourings of the Spirit III revvals
of religion, there is comparatively little
spiritual fruit And it will continue so in
accordance with the laws Of the spiritual
world, as truly as in the natural In this
respect, the husbandmen who cultivate the
soil are wiser than many spiritual husband
men who cultivate the vineyards of God
The former expect and receive the early
and latter rains, and are anxious and alarm
ed for the result OF the harvest if the rains
do not come with their fertilizing influence
But now few spiritual husbandmen seem
content if years come and go, and no rains
Of the Spirit come down on the fields and
Cultivate. Long protraeted selfoughts IN
summer, which wither and dry up the lux
usiant fields and cut off the harvest, would
excite the earnest cries of the suffering, to
God, that he would unlock the brazen skies
and pour down abundance of rain. There
would be sorrow and tears, prayers and
supplications. IT such would be the feel
ing and action thea, how much more ought
there to be strong crying and tears when
the fields OF Zion are dry and languishing,
and the souls OF men are i'll danger of per-
ishing If the praying ones in any or all
the Churches would unite their fervent
supphcations and pour out full shower
OF prayer, how soon would a delightful
change come over the fields of Zion, and
render them luXurant and beautiful as the
garden OF God

RECKLESS TEMERrrY.-An exchange re-
lates the following instance of reckless
temerity, which we have never seen paral-
leled:
A minister was walking in his garden
the other day, when he discovered two saw
horses. Struck with their appearance, he
had them broke for his private use. 1av-
ing no harness suitable, he put the yolk of
an egg on their necks, attached a cart to
them with the traces Of a thunder storm
blanketed them with sheets of lightning to
keep off the flies He then leaped upon
the cart, sat upon the seat of government,
took the whip Of a top in one hand and the
reigns of terror in the other, and drove off !;
passing through the gait Of a cripple, oveT
the grounds OF coffee, and when lie cross4
the track Of a snail he was run into by tr9h
OF circumstances. 1t being heavy trfn
he was thrown over a fifty cent bluff IMP a
stream of eloquence, where he was dasaed
to pieces against the rocks of Grade
By hard work he soon gained an lfand,
formed boat from the bark OF a wGt, ut
ted it with a mast from the north pble ana
two auction sales. Leaving his heses, ne
sailed down the river to its mHuth, ana
landed on tongue of land. Iere he was
seized by sensation and conveyed to
cell, where he was secured BT cord OF
love to a thunder bolt The .Gailer read to
him the report of cannon, and gave him
his liberty as a birthday present. lie then
mounted the wings Of the morning, and ar
rived home in time to hear that day broke,
and that his fortune had vanished; when,
catching up the scythe Of time, he put an
end to his existence bycutting off the head
of his sermon.

SOUTHERN SLAVERY AS SEEN BY A y ORTIZ
ERN LADY.-The following is an extract
Iattaz-usa;e lasa
in Georgia, to friend:
Gin regard to the subject of slavery, in
my opinion, those who are the loudest in
denounciug the institution, know the least
of it. Personal observation has removed
my early prejudice, and | really think the
slaves in this region OF country are the
happiest creatures that live; such delightful
frolics as they have, packing cotton,
shucking corn, &c, can hardly be imagined
by Northern fancies. There is freedom
unknown to the laboring classes in Europe,
OF even in free America, for they are free
from care, and solicitous for nothing
Furnished with the necessaries, and many
of the luxuries of life, what cause have
they for solicitude? Their personal APP
pearance is much less repulsive than |
had anticipated. Instead Of the tattered
rags with which Isupposed they were clad,
they are comfortable and suitably clad for
labor, and at church-upon the attendance
Of which they are very punctual-their
dress will compare favorably with that Of
Northern people in moderate circunstan-
ces, and the female servants are sometimes
more finely dressed than their Mistress
When infirm from any cause, there are
two powerful principles that insure to them
sympathy, and the kindest attention.
First, The law requires that servants be
we'll provided for under all circumstances,
in infancy, old age, sickness or in health.
Second, The relative position of master
and servant are a guarantee. To me it is
no wonder that my prejudice has Sc. soon
subsided-the truth is, the thing has been
misrepresented. Methinks when the facts
are fully understood, political demagogues
will be obliged to seek some other subject
with which to influence the public mind
and array one section Of this glorious in
heritance against the other"
Hon DAVID S. RE1D.-A friend who is
now absent from this town, (says the Fay
etteville CaroZlnau5a,) thus writes to us
from Richmond, Va, respecting the health
of our worthy and much beloved Senator,
David S. Reid:
RICHMOND, Va, March Is, 1853.
Mr. VIM Bow: Having to pass through
this city on my journey North, [ conclud-
ed to tarry little while especially as our
esteemed friend Gov. Reid is confined
here by sickness. He has been detained
in this place for more than two months.
It affords me pleasure to say that heis get
ing better; yet his improvement is OF slow
progress. He has cough which [ hope
is not serious His physician speaks of
taking him out to ride in a day or so if the
weather is good / earnestly trust he will
ere long grecoverandb be able to resume his du-
ties in the Senate. Gov. r. cannot well be
spared from that body, for he is a hard
working man, and one who can and will
accomplish as much for his own State as
any she could send. I learn that he occu-
pies high and influential position as a
Senator. Yours DE.

we watched the raellow sun-set-as it eIanc-

us with the stri pes of FURNISHED gold, each
perhaps has thought that some day one of
Us would come alone, and which ever it
