the eloquence of the Rev. Mr.. MALTA

occasion, our venerable friend. Tom

When a church was about 10 jc
built in certain town. the people were
divided with reference to where il
should stand, and the minister had to
preach very strong sermon on the
suhject. This sermon had the desired
effect. 1t even brought tears to the
eyes Of the deacons-and it Is . good
sign when deacons cry. The next
morning one deacon called on another
and said to him, "Our minister j. night

Our Angel Mother.

NJ MAS. MARTHA H. sHIyN.
Our Mother is an Angel now,
There il a crown on her fair brow,
She wears a robe all pure and bright,
Her form is decked with Angels light.
Mother is gone from earth away
To dwell above in brighter day,
To join in praises all divine
And worship at holier shrine
The love which that dear Mother bore.
Will go with me till life is DER;
Her form was fair, her voice was sweet,
We loved the sound our ears to greet.
When we were sick she watched with care,
And all our joys or ills did share;
None were so kind and gentle then.
Her touch would soothe our fevered brain.
But death has taken her away
And now how lonesome pass each day;
No Mothers voice to cheer our hearts,
And none a Mothers love imparts.
The last we saw that lovely face,
How well we mind the time and place;
Our hearts were filled with grief and pain
"Don't fear" she said; "we'll meet again."
The tears Of sorrow we have shed
Since she was numbered with the dead.
But o, we hope to meet above,
And join with her in holier love.
And then our Joys shall be complete.
When We, in riptures calm aud sweet,
Shall join to praise His worthy name,
Who brought US thro' this world Of shame.
Sometimes we long to reach our home;
And when for us the summons comes,
Then that dear Mother we shall meet,
And dwell with her at Jesus's feet.

had shown him his bill, and explained its mer-
its, and asked his friend AS opinion, the lat
ter replied: 'sMr. b., legislation should be a
practical matter. Oar constituents are for tbs
most part ike ourselves. | am en- cid man,
aud have sons and daughters grown up, and so
have you am not the least afraid that any
of my sons or daughters sill ever marry a ne
gro, and il would be insulting my constituents
to suppose that theirs would. cannot there
fore support the bill, but il you think you or
your constituents need its provisions, it would
be proper for you to support it.'' What Mr..
B. did, is not reported, but we suspect he drop
ped the subject. We think it very likely Mr..
Williams acted from the same motives which
Influenced DIR. A; aud whether bis coustitu-
ents for this will send him "into utter OBJ
scurity,'' as the Gazette supposes, we consider
it at least doubtful.
This we will say however, that if the writer
of that fierce article in the Gqzettc, wants the
act referred to passed for bis own benefit, or
that of any of bis kindred, we will warrant
Alr. Williams 20 vote for il, whenever it comes
up in that shape.
On the question of extra pay we showed week
before last, that both our members, Walker and
Williams, voted all the time. and in every shape
In which the question was presented, to reduce
the compensation of members Of the Legisla-
ture. The yeas and nays as shows by the Ga
zette proves this; and yet By loE species Of
pettifogging, it is attempted to be shown, tina;
whilst they were actually voting ell fhe tine
one way, they were really BY some hoous poems
Q; something else, helping to keep the Fay Up
to the highest figure. Here however, is more
Of that same humbuggery and deception which
charscteri2es the whole loeofoco party, aud all
its acts, and apolog8is. They abuse other men
for what they have done themselves; and take
great credit for that which they never did. The
Two Hundred dollars extra pay vas added las;
year byra Legislature, which was locofoco in
both branches. with governor Of the same
politics. And DOW slien our members, VIII
iiams and Walker are trying 10 get rid Of it,
and fail in their honest efforts 10 do it, they
yilli6ed therefor. The locofoco senate neser
even makes an effort to reduce ii and yet the
Gazstte has nothing to say. Mr. Schell, as IS
we'll known, voted for the increase, aud the Ga
zette had nothing to say against that But,
because McssTs. Williams and Walker vote for
the reduction they and their party must be
abused for Republican, ertra0qgqaca.

consisting OF Daphney, his wife, with her young
babe, and Dido, girl of three years oia, we're
reached in due course of time. Daphney had
large shawl, which she kept carefully wrap

provoked many remarks such as these:
"What do yoa keep your nigger covered Up

"What's the matter With the gala Has she

"What's the fault of the gal, Amt she
sounds Pull off her rags and let US see
her,

keep her covered ur! Let's see her face"
And loud chorus OF similar remarks, cm-
phasized with loud profanity, and mingled with
sayings too indecent and obscene to be ever
limited at here, went up from the crowd of chiv-
alrous Southern gentlemen.
