OUR MOTHERS,

IN the formation of character, We
owe to our mothers more than to any
other human agency, for it is their
hands that first twine the tendrils of
our hearts, guide our footsteps Alright,
lead us il the path of virtue, and. in
the dark, dteary night of pain, their
watchful vigils keep beside the couch
of their dear ones.
Whose but the all-seeing eye of Je.
hovah can fathom the depths Of anx-
iety they feel, and who can tell of the
ceaseIess prayers which they offer for
their sin-Strcken children
Their influence ever shines with an
unsullied light which Softens and pu.
rifles the wayward impulses Of the
youthful mind, and guides it onward
in its course towards Heaven. How
then can we pay just tribute to our
mOthers-with what measures of
gratitude and affection shall we re-
quite them for their maternal care 2
To those who have lost their moth
ers il early life, there is the hallowed
spot, sacred to memory, where they
retrospect the past-recall days and
nights when their mothers kept
watch over their sinless years, and
whore tLey may look forward, with
faith and hope, to the blessed re-
unions of the everlasting future.
Friends may be torn from our
hearts, hopes may be blasted, and our
love for others my grow cold, yet
every principle Of gratitude, and ev-
cry feeling Of virtuous sensibility re
quircs chat we should cling to our
mothers and love them still. n.

The lady recognized him, and the

to say, Mr Gresham was arrested by

THE DIFFICULTY At fHE PosT-OPFICE.-
The following statement in regard to the
difficulty at the post-office on Saturday
night has been handed us for publication,
We know nothing ourselves In regard TO
the matter, but feel it due to tho clerks Of
the post office to say that We have never
known more courteous and obliging gen.
tlcmen, nor any who discharged their du-
ties more faithfully:
On Saturday, when there were only
one or two clerks remaining in the Office,
and whilst all were attending to their re-
spective duties, a person came to the box
delivery, and, after knocking unnecessarily
long and loud at one of the boxes, very ab-
ruptly called for box which did not be-
long to the firm which he represented, and
after receiving it, refused to take 1t; and
again knocking, ordered the clerk in avery
uncivil and imperative manner to give him
his mail, using, at the same time, abusive
language unbecoming gentleman; when,
being demonstrated with by the clerk, i'm
mediately struck him through the bars ;
and he not wishing to provoke quarrel in
the office, another clerk went outside to re-
monstrate-not with the intention of Gre
ating any disturbance-when the man sud-
denly struck him without any provocation,
at the same time repeating his former Ian
guage. A few words more passed, when
they were separated by their friends. No
clerk witnessed the quarrel, and only be-
came aware that there was any trouble un-
til after it was ended. The reports in two of
the city papers were incorrect and exag-
gerated in the extreme" aA

THE New SAVINGS INSTITUTION. A
meeting of the shareholders of this new
enterprise was held at Metropolitan Hall
on Monday night, but owing to the incle-
mency of the weather the attendance was
limited, and it was deemed expedient to
postpone the organization until a future
occasion. Mr.. George W. Willis was
chosen chairman of the meeting, and Mr..
C. A. Brockmeyer secretary. Some very
appropriate remarks were made upon the
subject of finance by Mr.. Willis and Mr.Wil-
liam G.. Gary, and the meeting afterwards
adjourned to assemble again at the same
place OH Monday night next. We are re-
qucstcd to urge the attendance of every
shareholder, with II view to the adoption of
the constitution and bylaws, and perma-
mont organization Of the association.

tion authorized the abolition Of the Board,
but made its appointment, originally obi
catory on the Legislature. The last Legis-
lature had failed to discharge its duty, and
had left the governor, the auditor, and tre a.
surer the Board of Public Works, Just as
the legislature Of 1862 had provided. The
Constitution plainly indicated that the
Board should be elected with reference 10
their fitness and TO their views of the m
ternal improvement policy of the State.
1t was intended that they should come
fresh from the people, understanding and
rejecting their views. But the present
Board held its authority on no such grounds.
The Governor was elected with reference
to his politics and his popularity. The Au-
ditor was chosen for his acquaintance with
figures and the order Of accounts. The
Treasurer, for his familiarity with matters
of finance. The Governor came from
Alexandria-the Auditor from Richmond
the Treasurer from the northern part OF
the Valley. In no respect was the recog-
nized policy of the State displayed in
making them thenBoard of Public Works.
Besides, there was no representative ID
this Board from the great Southwest, whose
resources he spoke OF as unlimited, ana
whose interest in the subject OF improve
ments was very great. The mode OF ap-
pointing the Board under the Constitution
was wise. 1t prevented the accidental
residence of two or the whole Of the mem
bers in one locality, for whose aggrandize-
ment they might oppress the whole State.
The present Board, if the requirements of
the Constitution were complied with,
would not be here to-day sitting in judS-
ment upon this debate.
With these views, Mr.. Staples remon-
strated against any action on the part OF
the Board, introducing new principles, not
before adopted in the State, affecting
seriously the corporate relations of the
railroads and the general system of inter
nal Improvement of the State. He
trusted that the Board, situated as it was,
would make no change at this time which
was not contemplated in the charters of
the railroads. That was o matter that
should he left entirely to the Legislature.
He concluded by expressing the earn
est, belief that "consolidation would
be the means of odious and oppressive dis
ordinations and injury to corporations not
included in the consolidated line. There
fore he was most decidedly opposed t" it,
while he awarded the credit of sincerity
and good intentions to its advocates.
AT the conclusion of Mr.. Staples's
speech the Board adjourned. There arc
several other gentlemen who, propose to
discuss the subject, andfhe Board dis
plays desire to hear them fully out.

THE METHODIST CHURCH.-At q recent

Methodist Church resolution was adopt
ed asserting to the action Of the General
Conference providing for the introduction
OF lay delegates into the councils Of the
church; and another in regard to the
change Of name to Episcopal Methodist" !"
"modestly but firmly" refusing to assent
to the proposition of the Conference in this
particular. One of the principal reasons
urged against the proposed change is that
the name OF Methodist Episcopal" has
been hallowed and endearcd to the mem
bers OF the church by the memories and
associations of over twenty years. 1t is,
however declared in another resolution
that while the above mentioned opinions
are freely expressed, the members of Union
Station Church pledge their loyal acqui-

by those to whom these questions shall be
referred. The resolutions, which were al.
most unanimously adopted, arc signed by
