With what plainness of speech did Paul
warn, with what truth and tenderness did he
plead He looks on sinners as trembling
mother on her rash boy, when, hanging half.
way over some beetling cliff, he stretches
down his hand to pluck from the rock its
wild and whitening flowers. GAS my beloved
sons" Paul cries, " warn you" He exhorts
Timothy to rebuke in and out of season"
He eschews those general dcnunciations of
sin that are as little felt as general confessions
of it are; that, like little things with broad,
blunt points, neither pierce the skin nor pen
citrate the sore. The apostle enters into par
ticulars. One by one, name by name, sin by
sin, he writes out on several occasions the
long, black catalogue of prevailing vices
And in these, as if, like the poisoned garment
that stuck to Hercules, it could not be pluck
ed from the body of humanity, this vice of
drunkenness, the sin, the shame, the weak
ness of our nation. The world knows that.
Other nations taunt us with that. Nor do
scenes at home allow me to forget the strange,
but singing remark Of foreigner, who said
" 1t is blessed thing for the world that you
English are drunken race. Such are your
powers, and energy, and talent, that other
wise you would have become masters of the
world. "-Gmhrie.

For the Freeman.
a Time for ThOughts Of Cod.

Oh IT'S a time
For solemn thought, when the uuwearird sun
Has performed its daily office, and sunk
Behind the western wave, leaving all in
Nights close-darkness, 10 lay our throbbins
Brows ,upon the soothing pillow, and breathe
To Cod, who loves to watch over innocent
Seepers whose guiless bosoms heaye gently
As the stormless, majestic undulations
or the mighty ocean meath serene,
Bengnnnt heaven, the humble out-pourings
Of a submissive heart, while all is still
As the awful gloom of the quenchless grave,
Save the low, thick, mournful tickngs of the
Sightless death-wateher, and the still more silent
Teachings of that montory sunshine
OF the human mind, that child of heaven
Enthroned conscience!

THE MEMORY OF A MoTHER.-When temp
tation appears, and we are almost persuaded
to do wrong, how often mothers words Of
warning will be recalled TO mind and the
snare broken. Yes, the memory of good
mother has saved many poor mortal from
going astray. Long grass may be growing
over the hallowed spot where all her earthly
remains repose. Thedying leaves of autumn
may be whirled over it, or the chill white
mantle of winter cover it from sight yet the
spirit of her, when he walks in the right
path, appears, and gently, sadly, mournfully,
calls to him when wandering off into ways OF
error and to crime.
The affection which the true mother cher
ishcs for her offspring is, although imperfect
ly, a beautiful type of Gods love towards
His children. When life's silver cord is
loosed which binds our parents to earth, the
heart is filled with the most poignant grief
How then should VIC mourn, when, by course
Of disobedieuce to the teachings of the In
finite, we feel His smile forever taken froll
U.s. unless we, by compliance with his re-
quiremcnts, are once more reinstated into
His loving favor. xxx

There are some happy moments in this lone
And desolate world of ours that we'll repay
The toll of struggling through it, and atone
For many a long sad night and weary day.
They come upon the mind like some Wild air
OF distant music, when we know not where,
Or whence, the sounds are brought from and their
power,
Though brief is boundleSs. HALLEcE.

One MORE UNFORTUNATE - A STRANGE
CAsE.-Last evening about 10 o'clock, a wo-
man named Margt. Scott was observed pass
ing down Pacific street in an excited manner.
She stopped few moments at the Clinton
Temperance House, and threw into the office
a key, a handkerchief, and letter addressed
to Jesse Smith, cook in the house. In the
letter, she intimated that he was the cause
of great trouble to her; that she intended TO
drown herself, and wished him to write to
her father in St. Johns, New Brunswick,
about her untmely end. The woman then
proceeded down the street, and in short
time afterwards the cry of "a woman over
board !" was heard near the corner of Pacific
and Drumm streets Several boatmen start
ed out Immediately, and succeeded in rescul
ing the poor unfortunate. She was then
taken by special officer f. j. Smith to the
Steamboat Exchange" kept by Mr.. Cour-
tier, where the landlady, with tho other
females of the house. and DIR. Porter, who
lives near by, did all in their power to make
her comfortable. Her wet garments were
changed 10y the ladies, and the Doctor ad-
ministered rtstoratives, so that she was soon
sensible and as lively as could be expected
from one in her situation.
The poor woman seems still rashly deter

Excitement at Washington.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE recent escape
of the filibuster schooner "Susan" from the
vigilance of the Revenue Cutter in Mobile
Bay has created intense excitement in official
quarters here.
1t is feared that if the filibusters are arres-
ted by the British, other foreign forces will
volunteer in co operation with the British,
and that the feelings of the people of this
country will be aroused thereby to raise and
send large reinforcements to rescue them.
The Union of this morning says lit hopes
our naval vessels may yet intercept the Su-
san, and preserve yet longer this fi'ibuster
question as purely domestic one 1t fur
ther says that, upon the vigilance of our ma
val officers in the Gulf depends, in great
measure, the peace of the world.
Another dispatch, dated Dec. llth, from
Washington, says;
The Union intimates that any interference
with the schooner Susan, Captain Maury,
which escaped from Mobile the other day,
by the British and French fleets, will be like
ly to preciptate a crisis in our foreign rela-
tions
Much excitement exists here in consequence
Of the escape of the Susan, and vessels of war,
it is understood, have been ordered in pur-
suit

LETTER FROM VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON
TERRToRY.-We have received private let.
ter from a well known Californian, lately re
moved to Washington Territory, from which
we make the following extract:
"Ths country is unlike California in eve
ry respect, and is just about such region as
the frontier of the States" Business is slow
but regular Nearly every man is solvent
and has money. Prices of goods, et ceterd
compared with those of California, are low
Politically, cannot say much for the coun-
try, for everything is so made to depend,
here, upon the Federal Government, that
the people are generally careless about polit-
ical matters, and acquiesce in anything that
bears the odor of having been authorized at
Washington This Difference to the Gener-
al Government is not rendered, however, be-
cause it is Democratic Admnistration-far
from it. 1t is a salute to the appointing
power per Sc, and extends no farther, and
means no more
Just now Douglas is in the ascendant, and
miserable creatures who hold office and who
yesterday exhausted the expetives of the
English language on his head, are now the
first to laud his name. | have looked upon
the prescription and denunciation Of that gen
tleman as one of the most wicked, unjust and
cruel things that l ever heard of without
any reason therefor Douglas became the
focus of whole hells of purchased hate. To.
day, he-you--all of US who have bauled
for the right, are rewarded For myself
would not exchange the recollection that
possess of having obeyed an instinct Of right
in connection with this affair for almost any
thing l can imagine Believe it, that wher
/ people are left in numbers sufficient to sus
tain such a man as Douglas, the Republic i
IN no danger. | expectto have nothing NOR
to do with politics for time at least
