A MOTHERS LOVE.

Ssme of our readers may recol.
lect thrilling ballad which was writ
ten on the death Of a woman who
psrish-d in the snow drifts of the
Green Mountains Of Vermont. That
mother bore an infant on her bosom
and when the storm waxed loud and
furious, true to a mothers love, she
rent her garments and wrapped them
around her babe. The morning
found her stifftned corpse, but her
babe survived. The babe grew to
manhood, and became the Speaker
of the Ohio Senate. How thrilling
must be his thoughts of that moth
er, if he be a true, large-hearted
man. How deep a mothers love-
How many mother is there who
would die for her son! Let sons
when far from home, on the land or
on the sea, when the eye of no
mother is upon them, remember her
love and be restrained by it from
entering the path Of vice. Let them
say no hing, do nothing, which a
mother would not approve. and they
will never bring her gray hairs with
sorrow to the grave.

SELF-RESPECT.

Teach man to think meanly and
ecntemptibly Of himself, to cast off
all sense Of character and all con-
sciousness of superior nature, and
moral persuasion can 10 more act
bpon such man than if be were dead.
A man may be addicted to many vi.
ces. and yet there may be hope OF
feclaiming him. But the moment be
loses all sense of character and all
consciousness of a superior nature
that is. the moment be begins to
look upon himself and his vices as
worthy of one another, that moment
all hope of reclaiming him perishes;
for the last ground is surrendered or
which it is possible for bis remaining
good principles to rally and make
stand. We have often known mel
who retained their self-respect Ions
after they had lost their regard 70
principle; but never one who retained
his regard for principle after he has
lost his self.respect. Destroy this
aud you destroy everything; for
man who does not respect himsel
respects nothing.

DISTRESS AMONG THE SETTLERS.
The st Paul Pioneer says that many
of the settlers upon the public lands
in Minnesota advertised for sale in
April are abandoning their claims.
They have no money to make
good their preemptions, and it cannot
be procured, as in more prosperous
times, by mortgaging the land. Ir

Kindred Hearts.

There are hopes that never blossom,
There are joys too soon o'ercast,
Smiles that light the pensive bosom,
Smiles that beam too bright to last;
Transien. as the summer flower,
Fleeting as the twilight's ray,
Joy shines out its little hour,
y Then forever fades away.
Care may shroud the soul in sadness,
Yet, despite the present pain,
Do we not in future gladEess.
OFT deceived, still hope again?
Memory. in the darkest hour.
Loves to trace each bygone scere-
Thus, if joys fleetipg flower,
Hope is still an evergreen

"D0nt Stay Long,

j "Don't Stay Long,
: A look. of yoarning tenderness
: Beneath her lashes lies.
, And hope and love unutterable
, Are shadowed in her eyes,
As in some deep unruffled stream
Are clouds and summer skies.
She's passed to early womanhood,
From dreamy, sweet girl life.
And crossed sherosy threshold, bat
To find herself wife;
Oh, gently should he lead hersteps
Along the path of life.
And as she clasps her small white hands
Upon his arms so strong.
4 How often, like summer sigh,
Or a sweet pleading song,
She whispers, with a parting kiss,
Beloved one, dOn'tsiay long,
It's almost always on her lip,
Her gentlest parting words,
Sweet as the fragrance from rose leaves
When by soft zepbyrs stirred,
And lingering in the memory
Like songs of summer birds.
And IN his heart they nestle warm,
When other scenes amid;
He stays not till she weary grows,
And her fond eyes are hid
In tears which lie in bitterness
Beneath each yelling lid.
Ard oh, how many hearts are kept
By that love uttered song!
There's scarcely one who on life's waves
Is swiftly borne along,
But what has heard from some dear lips
Those sweet wor0s-"don't stay long"
PICTURES OFMEN1ORY
Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
Is one OF dlm old forest,
That seemeth the best of all;
Not for the gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mistletoe,
Not for the violets golden .r
That sprinkle the plain below.
Not for the miik-white lilies
That lean from the fragrant hedge,
Coquetting all day with the sunbeams,
And stealing their golden edge;
Nor for the vines in the upland,
Where the brightred berries rest,
Nor the pink, nor the pale sweet cowslip,
1t seemeth to me the beat.
l once had a little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep;
10 the lap of that>dim old forest
He lieth in peace asleep;
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow,
We roved there the beautiful summers,
The SUNNI 3rs of lorgago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And, one Of the autumn ewes,
l made for my little brother
A bed of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck IL meek embrace,
As the light Of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face;
And when the arrows of sunset
lodged in the tree-tops bright.
Hefell, in his saint-like beauty,
Asleepby the gates of light.
Therefore, of all the pictures
That hang os memory's wall,
That one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best Of all.

WHAT DOUGLAS MEANs.-A Philadelphia
correspondent of the New York Herald, writ
ing under date of June 9th, explains the rea-
son why Douglas published his recent letter
The explanation, which certainly looks plausi-
BILE, is as follows =
Mr.. Douglas arrived in this city yesterday,
and his presence here enables me to give you
the true explanation of his recent manifesto 1t
is not split in the party camp at Charleston,
nor an independent movement in the North
like that Of Van Buren, in 1848 On the con-
trary, Mr. Douglas expects heartily to cooper
ate with the South in behalf of the Charleston
nomination. Impressed with the conviction
that his squatter sovereignty platform would in
evltably defeat his nomination at Charleston,
his late manifesto may be considered as a sort
of declination in advance He and his parti-
sans, however, will have voice in the Con-
vention, and he believes that they will have
power, against all adverse combinations, to Sc
cure the nomination Of Gov Wise
What then? Why then, from the strong
Southern pro-slavery position assumed by
Governor Wise on the subject of slavery in the
Territories, the calculation of Mr.. Douglas is
that the Democracy will be so soundly thrash
ed In 1850 as to be compelled to fall back upon
MIR. Douglas in 1864. Thus the whole mean
ing OF this Douglas manifesto is decination,
on his part, of the Charleston nomination in ia.
vor of Governor Wise, with the expectation of
Democratic defeat in 1860, which in 1864 will
compel the party to fall back upon Douglas
For the substantial accuracy of these views |
have the very best authority"

have succesively contended in this forum, how
little do they reveal!
In taking this review of the Court of Com
mon Pleas tribunal now to be supplanted by
another court, bearing another name, we can
not avoid paying our respects to the setting
sun +; and as we revert to the memories of the
earlier members of the court, who have left
the stage of life-Ward, Chief Justice; Howe,
Strong, and Cummins-a worthy and upright
men, and learned and excellent magistrates,
we cannot avoid the reflection, that any court
may safely follow in their footsteps, and thus
achieve an honorable name for themselves, and
for the State which they serve.

THE STORY OF VERNEr.-The following is
told of Horace Vernet the French artist 'rhe
artist was coming from Versailles to Paris in
the cars. In the the same compartment with
him were two ladies whom he had never seen
before, but who were evidently acquainted
with him. They examined him very minute
ly and commented upon him quite freely-up-
on his martial bearing, his hale old age, his
military pantaloons, &C., &c. The painter was
annoyed, and determined to put an end to the
persecution. As the train passed under the
tunnel of St. Cloud, the three travellers were
wrapped in complete darkness. Vernet raised
the back of his hand to his mouth and kissed
it twice violently. On emerging from the
obscurity, he found that the ladies had with
drawn their attention from him and were ac-
cusing each other of having been kissed by a
man in the dark. Presently they arrived in
Paris; and Vernet, on leaving them, said /:
Ladies, shall be puzzled all my life by the
inquiry Which of these two ladies was it
that kissed me ?''
