Rebecea ut the Well;

Rebecea atthe Well;
FILIAL LOVE AND PITY REWARDED.
Low in the West the glad, bright sun was sinking,
And golden glory flooded all the plain,
Rrt nm the hill sides heightened shadows creeping
Told that the hour Of rest was nigh again:
When forth from home the dutiful Rebecca
FASTENED to fill her pitcher at the well
What tender thoughts her maiden heart were filling,
Prophetic dreams of loye-ah! who can tell
For. when she reached the we'll a tired stranger
Pravs for draught of water from her hand
Smiling she dips it from the sparkling fountain,
And BIDS him welcome to her fathers land
Then. with simple earnestness of ma nner.
He pleads his errand nd his Masters cause,
And while he pictures forth each pleasant vision
She on her heart for tender pity draws
And when their lingering feet have reached the
swelling,
And be her parents and her friends addressed,
They bid him tarry with them till the morning,
The damsel then would answer his request.
So. when the God of Day the east was flushing,
They gathered round her, anxious all to know;
And when her mother asked if she would leave
them,
She wept but firmly answered, al will CO."
And forth she went Christian maiden trusting
That God who sent, would guide her safely
through;
A child of dUtifM submission, doing
That which her parents thought it best to do
A loring tcomdn; for oh was she not hastng
Far from home to prove an untried heart?
Yet God was with her, and we know He blessed her,
For Isaac loved her Mth a love apart.
And tranquil happiness and Joy, and pleasure.
Dxelt in their hearts and homes forevermorei
Their trust in God was earnest and masking,
And thus He blessed them in their earthly store,

Why do love thee ?
60 ask my soul
Why it above me
Longs for o God.
Why the eye pleasure
Beauties abound
Finds without measure
Scattered around.
Why to my fingers
Delicate touch
OF sweetness liugers--
Happiness much.
Why strains OF music
GLADDEN. my ears,
Bring dreams seraphie
From heavenly spheres.
Why the heart aching
Respite will seek,
Soft pillow making
Sympathy's cheek.
Why the sun gladdens
Brilliantly bright
Yet my soul saddens
Day into night.
Why am I lonelyf
Why am | sad
Why can one only
Make my soul glad
If there's pleasure,
Sight, touch or sound
II there's treasure
Fer to be found.
lfsouls congenial
Happiness tnd-
Joys are perennial,
Mind finds with mind
Ifwith such neatness
Something's so well
FIJI to repleteness
Kernel and she'll
II the streams runs up
Full to its mark
If the tree fills up
Body to bark
If the pearls setting
Fits to the gem,
As the hills let their
Shade measure them
Can the vines twisted,
Riven apart,
Find others twisted
Their counterpart?
If an ideal
Dreamed Of in youth
Ever finds real,
Ever finds truth
II the souls burning
Ever finds one
Ease all its yesrning
Under the sun
Then should I love thee,
While ages roll,
Hearts echo love thee,
Bride of my soul.

GOVERNORS VETO.

To the Senate
herewith return to the Senate a bill
entitled Gan Act to amend the exemp.
ton laws OF this State" with my disap-
proval.
It's peculiarly within the province Of
the Legislature to Judge Of and to legis-
late upon the policy of exempting ell or
any portion of the property Of the citi-
zens Of the State from execution and sale
for debt. If the law presented now. for
my consideration, looked only to the fu
turs transactions between citizens Of the
State, would feel that could intqrpose
no Constitutional objections. though l
would regard the policy as deleterious to
the agricultural interests and commercial
prosperity Of society. But this law is
Retrospective, and affects debts already
contracted and the lien Of judgments al.
ready obtained. Il exempts certain
amount of property not exempted by law
at the time Of contract, nor at the rem.
dition Of the judgment. This property
formed the basis, il it was not The crea-
ture, ofthe contract, the money for which
the judgment creditor seeks to recover.
This law then is clearly not 10 conflict
with the law Of the contract, but de-
MES righ. and justice to the creditor. Il
is in violation Of that clause to the Con.
stituton, which forbids the passage of ex
post-fscto laws and laws impairing tbs
obligations Of contracts. 1t cannot.
therefore, receive my approval.
