For the Spirit of the Age.
Children of Sorrow-Who are They

We often hear it said of persons who
have many affections, either mental or
physical, that such are children of sorrow.
And we are taught in the word of God,
las one of the great principles Of christian
ity,) that we should sympathise with and
comfort all who come to US as such. To
be able to do this, we must know who are
children of sorrow, and from what source
their comfort may be desired. There are
many kinds of sorrow, produced by as ma
ny different causes but we shall ONLY at
tempt to name and describe a few of them,
such as many of US are well acquainted
with. First. You see one standing yonder
weeping she sobs as if almost heart bro
ken. Go and ask her the cause Of hel
weeping and hear her doleful story. " 0
am in great distress do you see those
newly made graves there lie all my chill
dren-not one is left-even tie youngest
my darling one is dead Those once ro
sy cheeks are now pale and cold as mar
bic! Those sparkling little eyes are clio
sed forever to this world That sweet
melodious voice is hushed, and all is sa'
and gloomy" She is child of sorrow
and although she refuses, yet even Rache
may be comforted Tell her of Jesu:
who said, Suffer little children to com
unto me and forbid them not, for of such
the kingdom of God" And tell her, th;
if faithful, she will ere long be with then
where death can never enter. Then 81
may be comforted. Second. You may Sc
sisters weeping over the grave of brotl

brother, and that be did every thing
could to promote their happiness. b
now he is dead, and they are left alon
without his protection. They too, are ch
dren of sorrow: but you can comfort the
also. Tell Martha and Mary, that Lazar
will arise again. Tell them of Him wi

and this will comfort them. Third. s

The DIFFERENCE.-Robert Morris

that locality demonstrated with the
owner of the property, and prevented
him from making the sale. AT the
sale in the parish of IbervilIe, on the
Mississippi of the estate of tie late

there were assembled a large number
of the neighboring planters, and it is
one of the wealthiest and most fash.

The plantation and negroes were Of

the price was commented on, but
there was neither word nor a lool

bottom lands when IN a fair state OF
cultivation yield from eighty to one
hundred bushels of corn, and from a
bale and half to two bales of cotton
per acre. This statement, although
it may appear incredible to some, is
nevertheless true. We give it as
matters of fact without any coloring
or the slightest exaggeration. The
next in order Is the water, Of which
we shall speak very briefly, as it re-
quires no very minute description.
1t is generally fine, wholesome and
plentiful, principally obtained in this

ing wells from thirty to fifty feet

very few springs in this part Of the

We will now conclude this epistle BY
giving you brief description Of the
various kinds or species Of timber
that is common to the different sec
tions of this country. And to begir
at home, we have in this county, Pine
Post Oak, Live Oak Elm, Black Jack

this the timber is considerably scare

bottoms the whole couatry ap
Epearing to be one vast and unbound

is more extensive and Of a large
quality, consisting Of inexhaustibl
quantities OF Pine, Of which our dweI
lings and other houses are construct
ed. North and northeast of her
timber is rather deficient, thong
farms can conveniently be made wit

Our last intelligence leads US to
believe that the scheme to build a
railroad through the GOODS from hes

and it ought 10 fail; the attempt to
raise the tariff, and to adopt specific
aud discriminating duties with a view
to benefit the wealthy capitalists at
the expense Of the producing and
consuming class is likely to fail also,
and we are glad Of it. Nothing

Strange monster Of ETHEREAL space
Great wonder to the hnman race
Much talked of and fear'd by all,
That thou wouldst strike this earthly ball;
How strnnge thou art, thy form how rare,
A misty train led by start
Yet round thy course thou canst not rnn
Without visit to the sun.
Thy course how distant and how long,
Through millions stars that round .hee throng
Still thou must move with all thy train,
Around thy orb and back again;
But why so long in days and years,
Shouldst thou be gone among the stars,
As if thou hadst some dwelling place,
Far back in dismal voids of space?
Great orb! Who could, of all the wise,
Describe thy great extent and size p?
! Or mark thy course and winding track.
Across the planets orbs and back?
But why, this great eccentric round,
by this elliptic orbit bound!
Why dost thy train, as thou dost run,
Fer point contrary to the sun?
Hast thou not fear'd while in thy speed,
That thou wouldst do some fearful deed,
BY moving cross some planets course,
And ruin myself and it by force?
What need of thee, then has old Sol,
If thou couldst on its planets fall,
And by collision with their side,
Spread ruin through his system wide?
Or dost thou visit all the stars,
Whilst thou art gone so many years,
To mark the progress there of things,
As time new scenes and changes brings?
Long time ago when thou vast here,
The world in darkness did appear,
Gross ignorance on earth prevailed,
And christian laws were scarce unveiled.
Now what a change The world is change
The days of darkness are derans'd,

Have raised religion to her prime;

With fearful scenes of blood and strife,

Our Great Republic Abroad.

An editor of the Utica Herald
writes from Heidlehurg, Germany,
thus:
Gle who comes to Europe with
the belief that the world is agape
with wonder at the greatness of the
American Republic; who hugs the
sweet JUNCTION to his soul that the
masses of the old world have noth.
ing to do but sing hosannabs to the
American Eagle; who thinks that
whenever an American citizen makes
his appearance. all Europedom must
needs take off his hat, will wake up
to find himself the victim of great
and cruel delnsion. The fact is, We
are not half as much thought Of by
these willy barSarians as We imagine.
Our country, of which we are so
ostentaiiously proud, is not rated as
such tremendous pumpkins by the
world at large, as our vanity LEADS
US to think. In the far East, more
especially, our fame is as sounding
brass and tinkliDg cymbal. Weare
regarded as in some way sort OF
appendix to England as a sort Of
political fungus clingiDg TO the skirts
of the British Isles. Beyond that,
they know little-except that We
come to the East to get civilized
have money, and spend it like fools
In Europe, We are better known i
not more cordially despised. Will
a few exceptions we are rather sup
posed to live in New York city
which is a city bordering on th'
Rocky Mountains, to own negroes az
h6ifum, and to settle all our dispute
with the bowie. knife and revolver.

HARMoNY-No true Democrat can

signs appearing over The State of har-

Without dissenting voice Governor
Harris is re-appolnted in every county
meeting as the chosen chief in the
coming contest. The currency ques-
ton, too, the only one upon which
there vas ever any probability OF
Disagree Mt, bids fair now to be
adjusted upon a just and equitable
basis-of material abrogation of the
INJURIOUS influences and unwholesome
power of all bank corporations.
