There is sentiment in the following lines whiel
will find an echo in every breast against which tn
torn of life has beaten Many a man, Scared il
he warfare of life, will feel his eyes moistcn in
alling the potency of a mothers love
Backward, turn backward, oh, Time in your flight
Make me child again, just for tonight!
Mother come back from the echoless shore
Take me again TO your heart as of yore-
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care,
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair,
Der my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me 10 sleep mother rock me TO sleep!
Backward flow backward, oh, tide of the years!
am so weary Of toll and Of tears
Toll without reeompense-tears all in vain
Take them and give me my childhood again!
have grown weary Of dust and decay,
Weary of lngng my soul-wealth away
Weary Of sowing for others to reap;--
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Tired of tho hollow the base the untrue,
Mother, oh mother, my heart calls for you!
Many n summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded-our faces between
You 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 Inc TO sleepl
Over my heart in the days that are flown
No love like mother-lovo ever has shown
No other worship abides and cndures,
Faithful, unselfsh and patient like yours
None like mother can charm away pain,
From the sick soul and world weary brain
slumber's soft calm DER my heavy lids creep
Rock me to sleep, mothcr-rock me to sleep!
Come, let your brown hair just lighted with gold
Fall ON my shoulder again as of old
Let il drop over my forhead to- night,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light
For with its sunny-edge shadows once more,
IIaply will ingcr the vision Of yorc,
Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep
Rock mo to sleep, mothcr-rock me to sleop3
Mother, dear mother the years have been long
Since last listened to your lullaby song,
Sing, then, and unto my soul IL shall seem
Womanhood's tears have been only dream;
Clasped to your heart in loving embrace,
With your light lashcs just sweeping my face;
Never hereafter to wake or to weep,
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock inc to sleep!

thousand dollars. To this must be added
the annual allowance for tho Sultan's

and council him--one who can reason
and reflect, and feel and judge, and dis
criminate; one who can assist him in his
affairs, tighten his sorrows, purify his
joys, strengthen his principles and edu
cate his children. Such is the woman
who is fit for n mother and the mistress
of family. A woman Of the former
description may occasionally figure In the

A SECRET WORTH KNOWING.
"Tutk is StrangS-StrmgSr than Fiction.

Under this heading the Long Island
Star publishes an interesting tale, for the
exten led details of which we cannot find
room; but must content ourselves with
giving the leading facts in condensed
form, for the benefit of our readers:
"a young grocer of good character
and correct habits commenced business
in good and improved neighborhood.-
His stock was small, as were his means,
and his stock of customers was still
smaller. His sales hardly met his ex-
penses, and he was evidently going
down HILL" and an old grocer on the
opposite corner predicted that he would
soon be at the bottom.
That the young grocer had reasons to
regret this opinion of the old grocer will
appear. The latter had daughter who
had won the heart of the former. He
offered himself, to her, and was rejected.
1t was done, however, with the assurance
that he was the man Of her choice, but
that she acted in obedience to her faith
ers' commands.
A year had elapsed, and 10, what a
change! The young grocer was now
going cup hill" with the power of a
steam locomotive, customers hocked to
his store from all quarters, and even
many left the old establishment that stood
on the opposite corner, for the younger
favorte. There was mystery about it
which puzzled the old grocer sorely, but
which lie could not unravel. He at
last became nearly sick with losses and
aggravations, and vain attempts to dis
cover the secret Of his neighbor's sue
cess.
At this juncture, Angelica - for that
was the daughters name - contrived to
bring about an apparently accidental in
terview between the parties. After the
old man had become, through the inter
vention of the daughter, tolcrably good
humored, he inquired with great earnest
ness to the young man, how he had con-
trived to effect SO much in a single year,
to thus extend his business and draw of
the customers from the older stands.
The young man evaded an answer
but inquired if he had any further obec-
tions to his union with Angelica. "N None, y
replied he provided you reveal the secret
of your success" This the young man
promised when his happines was made
complete. The old man recommended
his prudence off this point. Tho affair
was all settled, and the marriage soon
took place.
The friends Of the young couple were
all assembled, and among them many of
the customers Of tho two stores
Angelica and Thomas looked as happy as
we'll could be, and the old gentleman was,
if possible, happier than they. The
bridal cake was abou to be cut, when the
old man called out for "the secret"
"Aye, the secret" "the secret" ex-
claimed fifty others.
"It is very simple matter" said
Thomas; "I ADVERTISED!l !"
The old gentleman was very, very old
fashioned, aud, while he shook Thomas
heartily by the hand, and kissed Angelica
fifty times over, he merely muttcred,
"Why the dickens didn't think oi
that."-Erchange paper, 1S45,

Correspondence of the NJ Y. Commercial Advertiser.

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser
WASHINGTON, Nov. Z.
The situation Of affairs is considered
here as critical. "The heart of the
South is fred" but the connagration will
not be SO extensive and SO consuming as
many have imagined or hoped. 1t will
require something more than resolutions
or acts of State Legislatures, or Of ex-
cited political gatherings, to dissolve this
Union. When Mr.. II. b. Rhett, of South
Carolina, first came to Congress, a quar-
ter of century ago, he thought he was
about to break up the government. He
announced that he had drawn up "a reso-
luton for the dissolution of the Union"
He was simple enough to believe that
this was sufficient to destroy the Federal
Union. He is probably taking more
efficient means for the object now. Iti
supposed by some that the Legislature
of South Carolina will take early and
decided steps towards secession, either in
concert with other States, or " solitary
and alone" 1t seems to be doubted
whether all her contemplated measures
having in view her own withdrawal from.
the Union, and rupture of the Union,
will be brought to head during Mr..
Buchanans administration. If not, then
there viii be SO much delay that other
States will begin to look at the gulf into,
which they are to be precipitated, and
may shrink from it. But, if the States
OF South Carolina and Alabama choose to
vote themselves out of the Union, there
will be strong sentiment in opposition
to the adoption OF any forcible measures
for resistance, by the Federal government
to their design. 1t is hoped by many
that they will be permitted to make the
experiment, if it can be done without
serious prejudice to the common interests.
Gov. Wise, of Virginia, will not sub
NIT to the election Of Lincoln. He has
said and sworn it. The Governor has
long been out Of excitement, and pants
for another John Brown affair, in which
with the chivalry of the South at his
back, he can display his martial prowess.
lie is taking measures for the organiza-
tion Of corps of volunteers in Virginia,
who, under his command, are to expcl
Lincoln from Washington, if, indeed, ho
presumes to come here. There is no
doubt that he will make some insane
attempt of the kind, but the sober sense
of Virginia will Illustrate it. Governor
Letcher is making preparations for arm
ing the militia, but with what definite
purpose it must be seen. 1t is suggested
that his object is to keep Wise in order,
for he has said that he would repress dis
order within, as well as inroads from
without, the State.
