without a legal trial. A devoted
Minister of the Gospel, guilty Of no
crime, but who was seeking to in.
duce men to obey the great law OF

this seem TO be the Legitimate fruit
Of the institution Of slavery; yet wo

who affect to think it horrible
thing for the Republican party to

Such men had better revise their

A Mothers Low .s si ,a.c.
Children look in those eyes; listen to
that dear voice; notice the feeling of
even a single touch, that is bestowed
upon you by that gentle hand! Make
much of it while yet you have the most
precious of all good gifts-a loving
mother. Read the unfathomable love
of those eyes; the kind anxiety of that
tone and look, however slight your pain.
In after life, you may have many friends
fond, dear, kind friends-but never
will you have again the ~inexpressible
love AMI gentleness lavished upon you
which none but mother bestows. Often
do sigh, in my struggles with the hard,
uncaring world, for the sweet, deep Sc
curity felt, when of an evening, nes-
tling to her bosom, I listened to some
quiet tale, suitable to my age, read in
her tender and untiring voice. Never
can I forget her sweet glances, cast upon
me when /. appeared to sleep; never her
kiss of peace at night! Years have
passed away since we laid her beside
my father in the old, church yard; yet,
still her voice whispers from the grave,
and her eye watches over me as | visit
spots long since hallowed to the memory
of my ENTHUSIASTICALLY. -.
