Mr.. Delano, of Ohio, made an ex ola
nation, which was called forth by re-
mark of Mr.. Rousseau, and said he re-
pudiated as entirely groundless the as
sertion that the States were dead-they
sill live and by the blessings of God
they will live as long as the United
States shall live as n part and parcel OF
our common country. He was ready
to admit the members from Arkansas
and Tennessee to this floor, and It was
due to the country that this be done
speedily. TAppIause.l Mr.. Rosseau

by gentlemen that It was a good thing.
The very ground that Jefferson Davis
occupied, that the States could seeede,
was now occupied by gentlemen on this
floor, but said Gen. Rousseau we VIII

THE ABSENT.

Of all the exercises of, the unfettered
mind, perhaps none is attended with a
more benign influence than that of indulg-
ing in kind, remembrance of the absent.
Every loving word that fell from the
lips of the" absent is treasured with ten
derness. Each kind act is recollected
with affection. We look forward to meet
ing with unbounded happiness. -,.--' = = :
Have we parted in anger? Time soft
ems us into indiHerence-at length into
quiet acknowledgement of past friendship.
Have we parted in silence or arrangement!
This, too, wears away, and we meet again
to forget the past in future communions.
Have we parted in grief! The sorrow is
mutually borne, and tenderly consigned to .
the corner of our hearts devoted to the alb
sent sharer. ra '7s. aas ss. .es ~.
Have we parted in love? No joy so
great as the remembrance of it-no event
50 delightful or sacred as the reunion.
P Have we been parted by death? Ah,
the affection that travels with the flown
spirit to its home in the realms of light
The changed but ever increasing sacred
ness of the love that bound US on earth is
now freed from its alloy, while the unfet--
tered spirit hovers near, to watch over MS,
and bear the incense of truthful and puri-
fled affection on the wings of enduring love.
Absent from sight, to the spirit ever near
no shade of earth mingles in the holy Of
flee of a ministering angel, whose sweet
influence is like :he gentle dew upon the
fragrant flower, which exhales perfume
unseen, but ever grateful to the percep-
tion ofthe inborn spirit.

WOMAN.

There is beauty in the helplessness of
woman. The c!inging trust, which search
es for extIaneous support, is graceful and
touching. Timidity is the attribute of her
sex; but to herself it is not without its
dangers, its Inconvenience, and its suffer-
ings. Her first effort at comparative free
.iom is bitter enough; for the delicate
mind shrinks from every unaccustomcd
contact; and the warm and gushing heart
closes itself, like the blossom of the sensi-
tive plant. at every. approach. Man at
once determines his position, and asserts
his place; woman has hers to seek; and,
alas, fear me that, however she may
appear to turn calm brow and quiet lip
to the crowd through which she makes her
way, that brow throbs, and that lip quivers
to the last, until, like wounded bird, she :
can once more wing her way to that tran
quill home where the dropping head will +
be fondly raised, and the fiuttering heart
laid to Jest! The dependence of woman
in the common affairs of life, is, nererthe-
less, rather the effect of custom than nee,
essity! We have many and brilliant
proofs & that, where need is, she
can be sufficient to herself and play her
part in the great drama of existence with
credit, if not with comfort. The yearn-
ings of her solitary spirit, the outgushings
of her shrinking sensibility, the cravings.
of her alieuated heart, are INDUCED only
in the quiet holiness of her solitude. The.
world sees not, guesses not the. conflict !;
and in the ignorance of others lies her
strength. The secret of her weakness is
hidden in the depths of her own bosom;
and she moves on, amid the heat and hur--
ry of existence, and with seal set upon
nature, to be broken only by fond and
loving hands, or dissolved in the tears of
recovered home affection. .a.,.

WORDS OF KINDNEss.-Let all thy
words be words Of kindness and love; let
Kindness beam on thy countenance and
smile in every look. Friends will cluster
around thee, and their pleasant greeting
and smiles of welcome will make the most
delicious music in thy soul. Speak gent
ly! Sunshine will stream around thy
path, and shed a halo of light around thy
head; fresh flowers will spring up and
clusteraround thy footsteps, and perfume
the air with their delightful fragrance
Speak gently! Another world will be all
sunshine bright, golden, gorgeous sur
shine; and though clouds may arise and
shadows play around, their shade will only
add a tender chord to the silvery notes;
for shadows are but mosaics set in sun
shine, aud gentle words will give to them
a gliding which gloom can never hide.
