private means. recommend that q coat of
arms be adopted for the State of Mississippi In
view Of the unsettled condition Of our political
affairs, and thdprobabIe arrangement ofthemone-
tary and commercial relations of the country,
and to prevent the ruinous sacrifice of the pro-
perty Of the people of this State, l recommend
that an act be passed staying the bringing of
suits and the collection Of debts by execution
sales, until the close Of the next regular session
Of the Legislature.
As It is more than probable that many Of the
citizens Of the border States may seek market
for their slaves in the cotton States, recommend
the passage Of an act prohibiting the introduc-
ton Of slaves into this State unless their owners
come with them and become citizens, and pro-
hbiting the introduction of slaves for sale by all
persons whomsoeyer.
Permit me, in conclusion, again to refer to
the great danger to the State which has brought
you from your homes, and to exhort my coun-
trymen not to be "eaught by the fatal bait of
temporary ease and quiet" not to submit 10
great, disgraceful and certain evils from dread
Of others which may prove to be imaginary

efforts to retrieve the fallen fortunes of the
State, which il finally unsuccessful must leave

come cess-pool Of vice, crime and infamy.
Can we hesitatel when one bold resolve,

Rock Me to sleep, Mother.

BAcxwARp, turn backward, oh, Time, in your
fight
Make me . child again, just for tonight
Mother, come back from the echolcss shore,
Tske me again to your heart as Of yore-
Kiss from my forehead the burrows Of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out Of my hair
Over my slumber, your loving watch keep
Rock me TO sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Backward, flow backward, oh, tide Of the years
! am so weary Of toll and Of tears
Toll without rccompcnsc = tears all in vain
Take them, and give me my childhood again!
Ihave grown weary Of dust and decay,
Weary Of finging my soul-wealth away
Weary Of sowing for others to reap;-
Rock me to Sleep mother-zrock me to sleep!
Tired Of the hollow, the base the untrue,
Mother, oh, mother, my heart calls for you!
Many summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded, our faces between
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain
Long tonight for your presence again -
Come from the silence SO long and SO deep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to slccpl
Over my heart, in the days that are flown,
No love like mother-love ever has shone-
No other worship abides and cndures
Faithful, unselfish and ratient like yours
None like mother can charm away pain
From the sick soul and the world weary brain I;
Shmber's soft calms DER my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Come, let your brown hair, just lighted with
4 gold,
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
Let Il drop over my forehead tonight
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For with its sunny edged shadows once more
HAPPY will throng the sweet visions of yore.
Lovingly. softly, its bright billows sweep
Rock metz sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Mother, dear mother! the years have been long
Since last listened your lullaby song
Since then, and unto my soul it shall seem
womanhood's years have been only dream;
Clssped to'your heart in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to wake or to weep,
Rock me to sleep, mothcr-rock me to sleepl

Failing from-Gracc.

A good story is told Of a certain Methodist
dominic Of the pioneer stamp. The dominic
had in some way incurred the displcasure of
one Of his membcrs-one Of those. .touchy,
irrsscible saints of which nearly each par
tieular a charge" or " circuit" has one or more
representatives. The dominic had triet in
every way to effect a reconciliation. He'had
"wrcstled with the Lord" in the crring
brothers behalf He had labored personally
with him, earnestly, but all to no purpose /;
90 he expelled him, as matter of duty. The
eI-brother then took every occasion to insult
and wound the feelings Of the Pastor. He
.landered him, abused him to his face, and
behind his back, until, at length, the poor
dominic could stand it no longer. Meeting
him one day in the post Office, where large
crowd was collected, as usual the wretch
commenced his abuse. The dominic, as he
was leaving the room, made some remark,
to which the discovered member responded,
HThat's a ID lie." Quick as thought
the dominic turned, divested himself Of all
unnecessary apparel, and stepping up to his
astonisbcd enemy. and seizing him by the
throst, gare vent to his long pent-up feelings,
as follows: "Don't venture TO repeat that
word again, you poor, low, dirty seoun-
dreL I've stood this just as long as pos
sibly can. ] try to be Christian. have
followed Christ in my weak way, nearly forty
years. But belong to q church which be-
lleses iE falling from grace. And il you
ever. in any so. insult or abuse me again,
in word or deed. ! shall. In all probability,
fall from grace. And II do. you'll get one
Of the alIRrsdsst thrashings you ever had in
your life. / vOuId'n. advise you to try Il on,
for I've made up my mind to do just that
thing" Il is needless to say, the ex-mem-
ber eoncIuded It was time TO ''dry up"
