must of course have clip at us in order to

:. ONLY ONE LEFT 3"

Only one left" These are the
words of a mother who has lately fol-
lowed to the grave little form that
was more precious than herself; a
form that death envied, and SO
changed into marble. We know how
grevious a thing it is to hide our Jew
els in the dust. We cling to them
with all the tenacity that love cngen-
ders we claim them as all our own,
and often dispute the Creators right
to them. But if we would remember
that they are merely loaned to us,
how much easier would it be to part
with them. We might indeed sigh
and weep to give them up, but there
would be no swapping of heart-strings,
no insufferable pangs, no terrible
dcsolation.
Only one left" Then let your
affections concentrate upon him. You
cannot benefit the dead-then seek to
benefit the living. He is a noble boy,
and will make man worthy of the
name, if you direct his young mind
Alright. Perhaps He, who watches
over us all, saw that he needed all
your care, and 50 he took the rest
away Too much time cannot be
spent upon single soul. Eternity
lies at the end of the path in which
the boy has begun to walk. Be this
reflection unto you a constant moni-
tor, and ceaseless inspiration.
Only one left" And do YOU mur-
muir? They might all have been
taken. More mercy has been shown
to you than to many others. There
are many Rachc!s who weep over the
loss of an entire household-|ill you
repine who have one idol left? You
must not 1t is base to do it. You
insult the Almighty while you repiEe,
He knew what was best for you.
Receive His chastcnings graciously,
if you care for His benefits.
"Only one left One immortal
spirit. One pledge of affection. One
staff on which to lean. One joy. One
consolation. Knows your heart no
arithmetic ? Counts it unit of SO
little value Mother Mother! Be
content. That little one shall be to
you an increasing source of pleasure,
if you will but train his infant feet to
walk in the pleasant ways Of wisdom.
Only one left Wait but little
and You shall have them all.--Anson

THE INFIRMITIEs OF GENIUS.

The following practical joke at the

do My dear friend, you are the very
man to advise me-
The gentleman responded very
sensibly, that it depended upon the
state of Mrs. Warren's health, to
which Warren replied that her nerv-
Gus system was very delicate, but
that professionally he ought not to
omit dining with the Lord Chancellor,
&c, &c Finally, after many pros and
cons, Warren suffered himself to-be
persuaded to stay at home, and not to
dine with the Lord Chancellor. Upon
this his friend commended his rcsolu-
ton, and added that he need not
trouble himself to explain the cause
of his absence in his letter to the
Lord Chancellor, for that he also was
invited to dine there, aud would make
a point Of alluding to him, Warren, in
the kindcst possible way. With this
he suddenly wished Warren good-day,

Resolrcd, That we, the delegated
representatives of the Republican
electors of the United States, in Con-

duty we owe to our constituents, and

There is a wisdom that looks grave,
and sneers at merriment and again
a deeper wisdom, that stoops to be
gay as often as occasion serves, and
oftenest avals itself of shallow and
trifling grounds of mirth, because IT
we wait for more substantial ones,
We seldom can be gay at all.
