a Home 20 Rest In.
BY HENRY MoRFoRD.

Tae world, dear John, rs the old folks told us,
Is world of trouble and care
Many a cloud of grief will enfold us,
And the sunshine of joy is but rare.
But there's something yet to be bright and blest
in,
No matter how humble the lot;
The world still gives us home to rest in,
Its holiest. happcst spot
Sweet home! dear home on the northern heather,
On the funniest southern plain;
The Lapiand hut in its winry weather,
The tent of the Indian main =
Be it gorgeous wealth that our temple is drest in,
Be it poor and of little worth,
Oh, home OUR home-a home to rest in
Is the dearest thing on earth.
But time, dear John is using us badly,
Our homes crumble day by day,
And we're laying our dear ones, swiftly and sadly,
In the dust of the valley away.
There's death-robe soon for us both to be drest
in,
A place for us under the sod
Be Heaven at last the place we shall rest in
The rest of the people of God

CRIMlNATIoN AND RECRIMINATIoN.-- -Remarking
on the disposal OF the dead bodies washed ashore
from the steamship Northerncr, the Northe,n
Californian said
1t is q shameful fact, that neither care nor de
cency were exhibited in the disposition of the
recovered bodies Instead of being inferred in
separate graves, many were wrapped in muslin
shrouds, and thrown into one hole, without dis
nction.
The Humboldt Times, whose editor was on the
ground after the wreck, as we'll as Lieut.. Run
dell, of Fort HUMBOLDT deny the Californian $
assertion. The Tine, adds
Only enough of lumber could be procured to
make two collins, in which the bodies of Miss
Gregg, the young lady passenger. and Mr. Ma
tion the first assistant engineer, were Inferred in
separate graves. The rest of the bodies were
neatly shrouded in fine sheetng and wrapped in
blankets. A large pit was then dug, five feet in
depth, in which the bodies were laid side by side,
with their heads to the East. The burial service
was read by Lieut.. G.. ii. Rundell, and all rights
performed which the soemnities of the occasion
called for, aud the nature of such horrible ca
lamity would admit. Before the officers left the
spot, the burying ground of the unfortunate pas
sengcrs was neatly aud substantially incloScd
and large spar, thirty feet in hight, with II cross
on the top. was planted as a monument to the
resting place OF the dead.

The LEGISLATOR Sacramento Bee moral
ICES on the troubles and vexations which beset

that ga legislator is but man--and, II may be-,

UNBRoTnERiY.-Th San Francisco National
has been terribly annoyed since Lathan's elec-
tion to the L. S. Senate. Why shouldn't it be !?
One of the defeated asprants TO that position
controls the National. Nevertheless, he should
not forget that it isn't pretty for brethren Of the
great Democratic party to call names. Referring
to the editor of the Sacramento Standard and
the Senatorial election, recently, the National
man said " Now the venerable, but still unso-
phsticated Bolts, of the STANDARD, calls this au
net Of the Democratic party"

A Prayer for All.

My daughter, go and pray. See, the night is
come Yonder the golden planet glimmers
through the clouds. The wavy mist is gathering
around the hills. Now and then some lonely
wagon glides through the distant shadows. All
is silence aud rcposc, aud the trees along the
road shake off TO the vesper breeze the dust of
the day.
The twilight has hearlded the queenly night
with her crown of stars, and one by one they
burst upon the sight in glowing sparkles. The
crimson fringe in the west is fading out Inc
surface of the waters in the shade grows sllvery
in the starlight. The furrows, paths and thickcts
all mingle and blend together and lose them
selves in the shadows so that the passing wander
cr is doubtful of his way.
The day is for toll for care ana Tor hatred.
But the night--the solemn and serene night--ior
prayer and peace. The old herdsman. the wind
amid the ruins of the tower, the restless waters,
and the f0cks, all seem weary, and with their
broken voices all complain. Tired nature hath
need of sleep, and prayer and love
1t is the hour when children talk with angels.
While we pursue our strange pleasures, all the
little children, their hands casped and their
feet bare, kneel and say at the same time the
same prayer, asking mercy and love for us Of the
Universal Father.
Aud then they will sleep. Golden dreams,
born in the last sounds of the declining day, and
swarming without number amidst the shadows,
|
seeing their rosy mouths, shall fly Ms bees fly to
the sweet flowers, and pass in through the folds
of their linen curtains
o cradle-slumber! Oprayer of infancy voice
! which always soothes and never otends--swe"t
religion, which smiles and reioicrs, fitting pre-
lude to the great concert of the solemn night
AS the bird puts its head under its wing, 50 the
child in prayer puts its spirit to rest
My daughter, so and pray. First, and above
al, for her who so many nights hath rocked thy
crudlc-for her who brought thy spirit from
heaven, and put it upon earth ; aud who, since
then. tender mother taking TO herself the bit
ter of both lives, hath always drank the worm
wood and left thee the honey!
Then pray for me- | need it more than she.
She is just like thce-good, peaceful, simple
hearted and trusted. She hath u transparent
soul, and peace is mirrored in her countenance.
Many have her pity and none bear her envy
Gentle and sweet, she takes life patiently, and il
she ever suffers wrong she asks not who does it.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 12, 1860.
 The political news at this time is unim- portant: the Mexican treaty hangs Tn the Senate While the general features of the treaty meet the appreciation ot large ma ioritv of the Senate, and its ultimate objects would receive the hearty concurrence of the country: there are provisions in 1t, and more particularly, some that are not Tn It which will prevent it's ratification. The subject of the safety of slave property in Texas along the Mexican frontier is an ab- sorbing question ill that State: and the absence of d renditiUe clonse in the treaty has arraved against it, the Texas ana some other Senators, who will never yield their assentto 1t in its present shape.

 Stewards last 'great" speech will fail altogether in its object his attempt to ret rogade from the irrepressible conflict {" point of the issue he has made is an ac- knowledgment of the weakness of that point, anu will act with serious danger to himself as Presidential aspirant, and to his friends as party. He now attempts to change the jockey acord, and calls it conflict between the labor States and the capital States" There is neither logic or sophi, try in that classification. The Tan kees have always claimed the ,cl of the country and have ever endeavored, and to the present day, have succeeded, to make their living off the South by that species of capitu. Ii is the capital of the North, that, at this day controls the entire commerce of the South, and which reaps the greatest profit off of the labor of the South. The next step which we should be prepared to see the great republican chief take, is to admit that negroes are p o.2cry, :. C, cap ital. The only :" conflict that now exists, in the United States, is in the North; the whole of New England Is excited by the 5. strikes " of the mechanics, who complain that the capitalists are not willing to pay enough for their ia6or to yield them sup port.
 The Yankee system is beginning to be felt at home, and l trust that he white slaves of New England, in their present contest, will succeed in securing to tbem selves and their families portion of the that are enjoyed by the blacks in the South.
