life had been short, but she knew that earth was
not paradise.
] 1t matters not why or how we came to be
riding the prairies of Illinois, by the side of
a little child, only; nor is it necessary that we
should tell that there are times in life, when a
sweet little one, with earnest eyes and speaking
! heart, is more agreeable than all the brilliant
danes that crowd the parlors Of the world.
! We have our fancies and you shall have yours.
We viii love the children and you may love
what you will
In the silence of the night, we remember this
child with sweet and holy pleasure, and we
turn away from pleasant books and scented
flowers and idle thoughts, to the sweet and pure
and blessed words she spoke. We remember
the garnet ring VIC put upon her little hand, and
the wish that Heaven would keep her life of
peace rs perfect as that circlct was, whose ends
were firmly fixed within the red and hcart-like
stone. We remember the sweet little kiss she
gave us in exchange. and the quIveTing of the
hands when we spoke to her of her future life
She was older than her years and felt how much
of sorrow there would be in her coming life.
Heaven grant that it has not been so!
Beneath the same moon and stars we came
back again. Our hearts we're filled with better
thoughts than come to those who live only in
the world Of fashion, and never go forth to look
upon the world of God She was still and 81.
lent, and we dreamed of Heaven. At the thresh.
hold Of her door we parted, and never since that
night have we looked upon her face or heard
her voice or felt the pressure of her hand She
may live or she may be-dead. Our homes lIaye
been for apart, and only in memory can we go
to her now. 1t may be that she has quite for
gotten us. BE it so, if need he it must be so.
Should this ever reach her eyes, she may re.
member our pleasant ride, and feel that he who
whispered of stars and flowers and heaven, has
not forgotten the sweet face of her who came
to him in purity and beauty, and with the soft
hand of her childish love, opened up the foun.
tainS of his faith, forever. j. D. NJ. Q.

CHEERFUL PEOPLE.

God bless the cheerful person-man. wo-
man or child. or young, ilhterate or educated,
handsome or honely. Over and above every
other social trait stands cheertulness. What
the sun is to nature, what the stars are to
night. what God is to the stricken heart which
knows how to lean upon Him. are cheerful
persons in the house and by the waySide.-
They 90 unohtrusively. -uncensciously about
their silent mission--brig htening up ears,
omnibuses, ierry-boats, with the happiness
beaming from their faces. We love to sit
near them. we love the glance Of their eye, the
tone of their voice; the little children find
them out oh 80 quickly! amidst the densest
crowd, and passing by the knotted brow and
compressed lip glide near. and lay conhd-
ing little hand on their knees, and lift clear
Young eyes to their loving faces: Many man
when the cheerful person passes him rubs his
hand across his forehead. as tito clear away
the tangled web the world has spun over his
spiritual vision. and as his step grows elastic
saws to himself. after all what matters ia
little good more or less;-iet as all i"rc omd
he haDpy. and take phdt God sends. THIS IS
not the end" Nor are we 10 suppose this
cheerful person has always been exempt
from trial. or that his cheerfulneSs is the pro-
duct ofinsensibility. We have seen feet step
lightly, which far back on life's journey had
left bloody footprints. But there are smiles
born of tears: rainbOws brightest on the storm
cloud; morn loveliest when gliding serenely
from out threatening skies; violets sweetest
whose birthplace was n rock-cleft. These
nre they whom God and man love, whose
souls have on the wedding-garment, ready
when the Master of the feast biddeth. Like
Him. opening wide the door of their hearts,
and saving to the weary and heavy-laden'

MONDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY IA. 1859.


PARLIAMENTARY ORATOR IN MISSOURI.
We find the following specimen Of Western
Legislative eluquence, III the reported pro-
ceedings cf the Missouri legislature
Mr.. Pitt offered the following:
Resolred. That the Speaker De authorized
to cause to be printed and posted one hun
dred bills. announcing the 9Th OF January,
1859.
Mr.. Ahney-I move TO lay that resolution
on the table.
Mr.. Pitt-Mr. Speaker, this house passed
resolutions, sir. to celebrate, in an aprro-
pirate manner the 9Th of January. Tins is
y resolution. simply asking that notice be
given to tile public Of that day. W" have
declared an intention and now, when we
come to publish it, some gentleman is sud
denly seized with the ''retrenchment gripes,
and souirms around like long red worm on
pin hook. Laughter.
Gentlemen keep continually talking about
economy. I, myself do not believe in tying
the public purse with cob web strings; but
when retrenchment comes in contact with
patriotism it assumes the form of''smallnesS.
Such economy is like that of old Skintlint
who had a pair of boots made for his little
boy. without soles, that they might last the
longer (Laughter.) ] reverence 1.-The day
we celebrate 1t is fraught with reminis-
ccnces the most stirring; it brings to mind
one of the grandest events ever recorded, in
letters of living FIRE upon the walls OF the
temple of fame, by the strong right arm of
the god of war; On such occasions We should
rise above party lines and political distinc-
tons. | never fought under the banner OF
Old Hickory, but. 'by the eternal, y wish
had. daughter and applause.) If the
old war horse was here now he would not
know his own children from the side Of
Joscph's coat of many colorS-W Wings. Know
Nothings, Democrats hard, Soti-boilel. scram-
bled and fried; Lincolnites, Douglasites and
blathcrskites. | belong to no party; am
free. unbridled, unsaddled in the political
pasture. Like abob-tailed bull in fly time, |
charge around in the high grass and fight my
own flies. Great laughter.)
Gentlemen, let us show our liberality on
patriotic occasions. Why, some men have
no more patriotism than you could stuff In the
eye of knitting needle. Let us not squeeze
five cents till the eagle on it squeals like
locomotive or an old maid. Let us print the
bills and inform the country that We are rs
full of patriotism as are Illinois swamps oftad-
poles, (Laughter) don't believe in doing
things by halves. Permit me, Mr.. Speaker,
to make poerical quotation from one Of our
noblest authors:
81 love to see the grass among the May red roses,
/ love To see IN Old gray horse, for when he goes,
he y"ses.
(Convulsive laughter,)
After the above speech, the House refused
t. law the resolution on the table.
