FOR HIS MOTHERS SAKE.

The subioned beautiful verses were sug- gested by the following touching incident, as stated in New Orleans exchange, from which we copy:
 A young, man from Maine, who had come to New Orleans, ruddy and vigorous, in search of business. was suddenly stricken down with the yellow fever Friendly strangers had watched around his bedside, but all their eff forts to save him were in vain When the coffin was about to be closed, an aged, lSlnd- hearted woman approached and said ;-"Stop, let me kiss him for his mothers sakeW Let me kiss him for his mother!
 Ere ye lay him with the dead, Far away from home, another
 Sure may kiss him in her stead, How that mother's lip would kiss him Till her heart would nearly break, How in days to come she'll miss him Let me kiss him for her sake. Let me kiss him for his mother Let me kiss the wandering boy: It may be there is no other
 Left behind to give her joy. When the news of woe the morrow
 Burns her bosom like coal, She may feel this kiss of sorrow
 Foll as balm upon her soul. Let me kiss him for his mother
 Horoes ye, who by his side Waited on him as a brother
 'Till the Northern stranger died- Heeding not the foul infection,
 Breathing in the feyer-breath- Let me, of my own election,
 Give the mother's kiss h death. s'Let me kiss him for his motherF P
 Loving thought and loving deed! Seek nor tear nor sigh to smother,
 Gentle matrons, while ye read; Thank the God who made you human, Gave ye plying tears to shed; Honor ye the Christian woman
 Bending o'er another's dead

 ScHooL LIBRARIES The benefits of a well selected school library in every school-room in the Stale surpass computa- ton. The good books in them would be useful for reference not only during the session of school, but would keep many from ideness and vice, from sorrow and despair, when no other but these silent and impressive monitors and teachers were present. They would admonish and teach our youth and bless our homes the whole year. They would banish from among us the hurtful literature so cheaply and abundatly furnished, with tempting pictures, at every corner. If our youth are taught to read they will read some- thing. If parents do not see that read ing, in cheap form, is thrownin their way, bad men will. These books would form a correct taste for reading, which could not afterwards well be perverted, leading to habits of inquiry which must result in better citizenship, wealth and happier state of society. The quicIlehing, con- servative and elevating influence of such q library in every town can require no ar- gument. Hon. Jonathan Penney.

 NOBLE SENTIMENTS. - This IS an agreeable world, after all. If we would only bring ourselves to look at the sub- jecls that surround us in their true light, we would see beauty where we beheld de- formity, and look and listen to harmony where we heard nothing but discord.-- To be sure, there Is a great deal of vexa- tion and anxiety to meet---we cannot sail on a summer sea forever, yet, if we pre- serve a calm eye and steady hand, we can so trim our sails and manage our helm, as to avoid the quicksands and weather storms that threaten shipwreck. We are members of one great family; we are travelling the ameroad and shall arrive at the same goal, We breathe the same air, are subject to the same duty, and shall lie down upon the bosom of our common mother. Itis unbecoming, then, that brother should hate brother; it is not proper that friend should deceive friend; il IS not right that neighbor should deceive neighbor
 We pity that man who can harbor en- smity against his fellows; he loses half the enjoyment of life; he embitters his own existence. Let us tear from your eyes the colored medium that invests with the green hue of jealousy and suspicion turn deaf ear to scandal; breathe spirit of charity from your hearts; let the rich gushings of human kindness swell up as fountain, so that "lhe golden age" will become no fiction, and the islands of the blessed bloom in more than Hyperlan beauty. @ ss'f

SHADE TREEs.- How beautiful, most beautiful of ear,h's ornaments, are shade trees Waving out on the hills, and down in the valleys, in wildwood or orch ard, or singly by the wayside. Gods spirit and penison seem to us ever present Tn the trees. For their shade and shelter to man and brute for the music the winds make among their leaves and the birds in their branches; for the fruits and flowers they bear to delight the palate and the eye, and the fragrance that goes outward and upward from them forever-we are worship(ul of trees.
 'Under his own vine and fig tree" or fruit tree, in his own vineyard and orch ard, what more expressive of independ- ence and lordship in the earth? Well may the Arab reverence in the date palm God-given source of sustenance. Dear to the Spaniard is the olive, to the Malay his bread fruit, and to the Hindoo bis ban van, wherein dwell the families of man, and the birds of the heavens build their nests.
 | Without trees, what a desert place would be our earth--n naked, parehed, and hateful to the eye Yet how many are thoughlless of the use and beauty of trees. Most beautiful ever as God plants them, but beautiful even planted by the poorest art of man, trees should be pro- tected and preserved.
 If he is benefactor who causes two blades of grass 10 grow where one grew before, how much greater is his benet- cence who plants tree in some waste place, to shelter and shade, to draw thith- CT song birds, and to bear fruit for man Plant trees, 0 man, that hast waste land ; and be careful of those that are planted all ye sons and daughter of men.-lVal- ley Farmer.

the boy from his former owner, and in-
Cured much odium in so doing. Hs was
accused of stealing the boy, and abusive
