THE LETTER.

This is our mothers letter. " William, how

don't know how my chilling blood warns up

fore die. Come home VIII, and show them
where to lay me when
But was not there to show them the way to
the neglected corner where they buried her
beside the drunkard'S grave. He was the
only son of his mother, and she was widow"
and I, they say, am the prodigal and dissolute
one who deserted her. They do not know
how have reapt of Dead Sea fruit they do
not know how everything I've touched has
withered, as if brand from hell had scared
it; they do not know how every cell of my
until the soul stood grasping its prison bars,
ready, with giants strength, to rend them like
spider webs from an obscured window |
have not told them I stood in the steamship
told me that had not enough by ten dollars,
and that while | sought in the crowd for some
one from whom to borrow, the vessel quit her
moorings and was away. Oh, thou heart
searching God, whose just hand holdeth the
even balances, wherefore hast thou weighed
so unequally? Why is it that everywhere,
even under the shadow of the flag to which
the oppressed look up in confidence the poor
are ground under the chariot wheels of wealth
and power, until the swift revolving iron reeks
with watery blood? But it is Destiny unal-
terable. Mammon, standing by the altar,
kneels, reverently, upon the necks of the lowly
Christians, who, in rags and penitential tears,
stoop to drink of the free springs of salvation
which gush from the clefts in the Rock of
Ages.
There are times when devils seem to come
out of hell and hold high festival in my brain,
and then | feel as though l could climb the
haughtiest peak that lifts its white front to
heaven, and though there, close to the ear of
the Almighty, and invoking the voice ofstorms
could utter words so blasphemous that the
curseful discord would shiver among the harp
strings which hands of seraphims guard from
unhallowed touch. Then small voice speaks
within; the petrifying heart warns to life and
tenderness, and a mighty one, standing in the
inner temple, scourges the demons away, and
then bow low the head, and worshipping at
his feet whisper, " 1t is thou I"
Blessings on thy memory, mother ! My
thoughts are confused as sparks from stricken
brand, bat thy kind words are all plain in
menory's book as the asterisks which God has
written on the scroll of night. will go out
to meet thee in the untracked fields where
angels walk to and fro along the confines of

there is none to levy tribute, and on the sea

4 /THE VILLAGE GRAvEYARD.-"H How
delightful, how spirit-healing the repose
of the place 1t is a warm, bright, sun
ny day the grasshopper is chirruping
close to US, and the little birds are warb-
ling in the neighboring branches; the
smoke of the adjoining hamlet ascends
meekly to heaven, like the sacrifice of
Abel; and is, like it, mercifully accepted.
The fragrance Of the new-mown hay is
blown gratefully from the surrounding
fields; and there, right above us, so that
we think we can see further than usual
into it, is the bright, clear, regal heaven
not spot nor stain upon its cloudless
front, unless we would so call those mass
es Of snowy whiteness, those floating
islands of loveliness, moving in the full
ocean of azure And when our eye meets
earth, there is the old ivory-colored vii
lage church, with It's time-worn walls and
rude exterior, vet within them have the
hopes Of hundreds been centered. There
has knelt the wayfaring man, as he pre-
sented to God his frst-born child; and
there that child, e'er sin and manhood
came to him, tuned his tiny voice to his
Makers praise; and there, when years
stole on, and darker passions grew up
within him, those stones have witnessed
the tears Of his remorse, as he thought of
the time when he was young and inno-
cent, and wept to know that it was now
all dream.'

The Second District.

From every portion Of the Second Con.
gressi1nal District, we hear but one opinion
respecting the course pursued at the Auburn
Convention. The nomination made a, that
Convention i. highly satisfactory TO the Re-
publicans Of the whole District. As is well
known 20 many. the delegations from OK
ford. Cumberland and Andru.coggin. in tina;
Convention. were all disposed 10 conccde TO
Franklin County the honor Of the nominee,
provided the delegates from that County
would unite upon man. Further than
this. the Franklin delegation did no, desire
the Convention to 90 into that County for u
candidate, unless they could thus agree
among themselves.
Ia conformity TO wha. seemed to be the
prevailing sentiment. Gen. Perry volun,ari.
Iy pledged himself 90 withdraw IRON the
field entirely, in case Franklin agreed upon
her man. They having failed Of reaching
such a result. the Convention proceeded to
ballot fer candidate, without regard TO
locality, and Gen. Perry was unanimously
nominated. on tho second ballot. The ut
most good fseliag and harmony prevailed
throughout the proceedings Of the Conven.
ton, - much tina, the remark IS frequent,
that /, was the very best Congressional Con-
yention holden in the State
Every County Convention in the District
ha.. with remarkable unAnimiiy and enthu.
siasm responded to the nomination, and
pledged to il .he cordial and united support
Of the party.
/ General Perry is not stranger to the Re
publcaus Of the Second District. They
have no, forgotten his labors as the standard
bearer Of the An,i.Nebraska forces in 1854,
in bringing together and cemen,ins the
elements which now comprise the Republi-
can party Of the District. Neither have
they forgotten his fii,hiulnSss and industry
while member Of the 3ith Congress.
/ In a word, the Republicans Of this Dis.
,ric, have tried Gen. Perry, and found him
the bold and fearless advocate Of the
principles Of true Republican liberty. They
know that through all the exciting, trying
scenes Of the 3ith Congress, he stood frm
as a rock-equally rega.dless OF the blan-
dishments Of power. or the threats or dcnun.
citations Of the slave oligarchy. Such being
the case, it is not a, all strange that be has
a strong hold upon the hearts Of the sturdy
