Thou shalt raise it up again.

Which shall bear celestial fruit;
Law bud within the tomb
That flower in Heaven may bloom.
Severed are no tender ties
Though in Deaths embrace she lies,
For the heightened chain of love
Stretches to her home above.
Mother, in thy bitter grief
Let this thought bring sweet relief
Mother of an angel now
God Himself hath crowned thy brow
With the thorns the Saviour wore,
Blessed art thou evermore.
Unto Him thou dost resign
A portion of the life was thine.
Earth to earth, and dust to dust"
Sore the trial-sweet the trust,
Father-thou who seest Death
Reaping grain at every breath,
As his sickle sharp he yields
Ger our bloody battle.felds,
Murmur not that now he weaves
This sweet flower into his sheaves:
Taken in her early prime
Gathered in the summer time;
Autumn's blast she shall not know,
Never shrink from winters snow.
Sharp the pang which thou must feel,
Sharper than the foenans steel,
For thy fairest flower is hid
Underneeth tho coain's lid;
Ger her grave thou dropst no tear,
Warrior stern must thou appear,
Crushing back the tide Of grief
Which in vain demands relief.
Louder still thy country cries,
At thy feet it bleeding lies,
And before the patriot now
Husband, Father, both must bow.
But unnumbered are thy friends,
And from many home ascends
Earnest heartfelt prayers for thee,

PALxERsroH- following pen and ink sketch
of palmerston the British Premier, is interesting at
this time:
OF Lord Palmerston, the Premier, it is almost
needless to speak. Few foreigners have ever SO
much as glanced through the doorway of the Brit
ish House of Commons without carrying away
mental das uerreotype Of his fashion and face. True
a the dial to the SUM- the veteran Niscount may be
seen each day, as the hour of assembling nears,
marching down st. James Park and Whitehall Gar
dcns, with vigor and gaiety of Stride that would
become the boldest boxer in England. Though 70
wears old, he retains all the bouysncy and vvacity
Of youth, and with the gallant air and graceful dash
ofdandyism, looks sort Of masculine sNinon do
TEncos He is said to possess that capacity OF
throwing off dull care and that freedom from stupe-
fying principles which make up the secret OF mex
haustible political faith. His chief popularity with
the masses is derived from their stout faith in his
immense value with nation so stout and daring as
England always has been and always will be. As
was said of another great English politician:
"Even at the feast his pluck perxades the board. i
And dauntess game cncks symboze their lord :.
Every village ale-house echoes the belief that the
Premier "Pam" eats nothing but good Sonth-down
mutton, and drinks nothing but good English beer;
and as he canters along Rotton Row or down Picca-
div there is something pleasant in the pride with
which each passer turns and says, There goes our
Pam" At home he is the delight and stay Of the
social circle:
Nor dnubt nor toll his freshness destroy, s. -
But time still leaves oil Eton in the boy.
In the conduct of his administrative department
he is despotic and severe, and cannot for moment
brook the slightest contradiction CONTROL He is
troubled with one or two singular prejudices For
instance he win not permit smoking in any portion
Of his office, or allow any officer Of his department
to write With : steel pen. As sspeskr, he is ex-
cept on rare occasions clumsy and CONFUSED in ne
construction Of his sentences, and hesitatlng ano

The steamship Africa has arrived at New York;

TIE London Times thinks Burnside suffered q
damaging rcpulse at Fredericksburg. and that if he
retrieved, by strategy, what he lost, he may be
considered great General.
The New York correspondent Of the London
Times says "the passage Of the Rappahannock was
the noblest episode of the war, and characterizes
the battle Of Fredericksburg as the fercest and de.
cioedy the most calamitous Of the war to the Fed
eral arms"
The news of the defeat at fredericksburg Was
represented to be the usual topic of conversation
in Europe The friends of the North were greatly
disappointed at the result The news in Liverpool
of the Federal defeat was regarded as unfavorable
to an early peace.
1t is said that France and Spain have made
treaty in regard to Mexico.
The London Times says that cotton is not king,
and England had better keep all her operatives on
public pensions till absorbed in other trades than
those which affect her national policy.

at which resolutions were adopted expressing sym.

to Lincoln approving Of his course, was also adopted
The Herald says Burnsidc's resignation will DC
received AZ soon RS . suitable successor can be
named The Herald urgues Mcclellan, and says
Burnside also desires his appointment The Herald
adds that this step would be too udicous and does
not believe it will be adopted. The contest McCel-
Ian out of the way, will be between Franklin and
Hooker. franklin IS preferred by the army, but
Hooker is pressed by the Radicals. The Herald
says Hooker will probably be chosen and if so it
will be another blunGer.
The Herald states that there has been enough
fault finding with Generals, and argues that the
blame FOR disasters should be put where it belongs
on the Administration.
1t calls loudly for the removal Of Staunton, Hal.
lcck, Chase and Welles, but says even more than
this will be necessary to heal the wounds of the
bleeding country, and that to the conservatives not
the radicals must the country look for hope.
The Herald states that nothing like the financial
and commercial excitement Of the past few days has
ever been witnessed in New York. II it continued,
the operations of the celebrated Finsncer Law of
Paris would sink into insigni6cance.
Vallandigharn says the re- union of the South and
most of the States Of the North and West is neces
sity, and is practicable that the people are ahead
Of the politicians in their demand for peace.

What spectacle more pleasing does the

benefit her little world by her exertions,

life into roses of Paradise by the magic of

misfortunes dampen their sweet smiles,
and they diffuse a cheerful glow around
them as they pursue the even tenor Of
their way. They have the secret of con-
tentment, whose value is above the phi
losopher's stone; for without seeking the
baser exchange Of gold, which may buy
some sort of pleasure, they convert every
thing they touch into joy. What their
condition is makes no difference. They
may be rich or poor, high or low, admired
or forsaken by the tickle world; but the
sparkling fountain of happiness bubbles
up in their heart and makes them RADIANT
ly beautiful. Though they live in log
cabin, they make it shine With q lustre
which Kings aud Queens may coyet, and

SAMUEL r.. DAWSON, from RitchIe.

Samuel r. Dawson, the Delegate from
Richie, is native of Maryland, but has
spent his life from early boyhood in the
Old Dominion. His educational training,
beyond, the advantages of the common
school. has been the result of his own per-
severinp industry. AT the age of sixteen
he was placed in a dry goods store, and
spent several years in,the mercantile bust.
ness. He has suffered a good deal of do
nestle affliction having been married as
mauy'as three times.
In la47 he became a travelling preacher
in the Pittsburg Annual Conference-of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, Being in
Virginia at the time the Western Virginia
Confere noe was formed, he became mem
Der of that body and was its Secretary for
a number offyears. In the thirteen years
which Mr.. Dawson devoted to the pastoral
work, he filled appointments at Weston,
Clarksburp, Parkersburg, and Fourth
Street and Chapline Street Stations in this
CITY. with credit to himself. profit to his
charges. and advantage to the church.
Since the summer Of 1860, he has resid.
ed in Richie county, operating in the min
istry as a t'locap' preacher, and also engag.
ed in the business of a merchant For
several years he has suffered from bron-
chial affection. at times being disabled for
weeks and even months from public speak
ing.
Naver having had anv svmnathv with
Sontbern institntions Mr.. Dawsan has been
from tho ipeipiesos- of ~ sslls.ss,. .sss4
determined and uncompromising in his
resistance to its treason and atroCity. Ev-
cry instinct of his nature as well as every
precept of his education makes him the
friend and advocate of the Federal Union,
and the earnest supporter OF the war for
its maintenance and vindication. He has
no terms for the rebels except those OF
General Grant. his county is one of the
most loyal in the State, and indeed "Little
Richie" claims to have sent more soldiers
to the field according to population than
any other in the State. When we consider
how easy it is for a few leading men to.
give tone to the public sentiment of a coun-
ty, we may justly attribute some ot7the
unconditional loyalty of Little Richie to
the exertions and influence of the subject
of this sketch. Another evideuceiof it is
his popularity at home, he having been
elected to his present position BY large
majority over A. j. Wilson, who was
member of the Constitutional Convention,
and who is anold and highly esteemed ctti-
zen of the county. SOD
Politically Mr.. Dawson has been Whig,
of the Henry Clay school, and so much
attached to tho principles represented by
that party that he is very 10th to give them
up, though the organization that gave
them vitality is dissolved. Atpresent he
is content with being a wholesonled new
State and Free State man.
In person, Mr.. Dawson is about Eve feet
