parks upon dependency
81 am glad to find so general persuasion
that we ought not to yield to Encouragement
Dependency never raised crop, never made
a scholar, never built.up church. God has
not called us to hopelessness and misery. Let
us hope on, hope to the end. If we are fee
bic, the Lord is mighty IF We lack wisdom,
let us ask of God, who giyeth literally and up
braideth not. If we are cast down, let US
thank God that we are not destroyed If we
are 4'perplexed, let us be careful not to fall
into despair. In our case dependency is
needless, sinful, and great torment"

Of whole mily:
One of the most heartrending cases of
destitution we have ever been called upon
to chronicle is one which was brought to
light on Wednesday, by means of visit
paid by one Of the visitors of the Home
Missionary Society to house in the lower
section Of the city. The visitor, on ente, i.

by the discovery Of the appalling Iact TINT

The Radicals and the Surrefn G
Court.

The bitterness with which the Destruc
tives in and out of the Congressional Rmnt
regard the Supreme Court Of the United
States. although in the highest degree rep
rehensible. is not in the least remarkable. -
1t is no more singular than the mingled
hate and fear which the criminal malcfacto,
entertains toward the police and other off.
GERS of criminal courts who may arrest them
in their career of depreciation. AS long as
that Court is In existence they do not feel
certain that any of their schemes Of usurpa
tion will practically amount to any thing -
They inquire what is the use of riding over
fhe Constitution, rough shod, with rrvolu.
tiouary violence, if tribunal is left in the
way that can, upon important occasions. call
them back to it, and declare naught all their
aggressions? From the beginning OF their
march as party what have they done that
will bear legal inspection ard examination?
What one Of their measures that will come
up to the Constitutional standard? As fast
as occasions shall arrive that will bring them
up for review, on points affecting individual
put the proper badge Of uncohstitutionality
upon them. In that sense, the whole of
this so called Radical programme is per-
ieCt ld!Ce, WHICH, as pUsScSSllS no Ieganty,
can be laughed to scorn. These OF us who
are opposed to it can lock on calmly, and
tell the performers to go on with the fantas
tic trick they are playing upon onr political
boards. The time will come when they
themselves will see the folly Of the perfor-
nance, and how little they have realized out
of it. Foreseeing the possibility OF this,
their leaders are full of 1esigns against the
Supreme Court designs against its integri-
ty and life. They are like assassins, who
want to remove every thing that may be a
witness to their dark and terrible deeds. -
In the outset they did not contemplate this,
hut one outrage atA enormity, one usurpa-
tion. but rates the way and renders n'cos-
sary the commission OF another, IN order to
give security to the last. 1t is now the
Executive, then tho Court, and then the
States who are the lions in their path,
which must be remyted from it, no matter
how or by what means. But, meantime, as
they advaree they become involved in new
contradictions and fresh embarrasSments
difficulties multiplying on their hands and
thickcn around them-and they realize the
force Of the old maxim, that the ways OF
error are always devious. and those Of false
hood lined with crime.

The Young widow on q Sleigh.

Some writer has said that young and
oeantiful widow is the most loving and
mVaGie creature in existence There Is much
truth IN the remark, and, as Samuel Weller
lntimates, they are at the same time the
most dangerous to the liberties Of a bach :.
lor when they once take notion that Tsy
Is it not singular fact that most of the
greate est men the world has produced have
been brought to the feet of the widows?
The reading Of the following sketch has
amused u.s. and no doubt will many others,
who will probably say, ''it's SO lie en-"
1t is summer now, but it was winter,
clear cold, and the snow was packed. DR..
Meadows was one of the sleighing party,
which he described so far as he and the
young widow Lambkin were concerned, in
these words:
The lively widow Lambkin sat in the
sleigh under the same buffalo robe with me.
''Oh oh! don't Il" she exclaimed, as we
came to the first bridge, at the same time
catching hold of my arm and turning her
vailed face towards me, while her little eyes
twlnkled through the moonlight.
Don t whatT l asked II am not doing
any thing.
We'll, but ] thought you were going to
take toll, replied Mrs. Lambkin.
TOLL" ! rejoined; whats that9"
well, | declare, cried the widow, her
clear laugh ringing out above the music of
the bells ''you pretend that you don't
know what toll is!"'
Indeed don t, then," I said, laughing
pray explain, if you please.
You never heard that said the widow,
most provokingly, you never heard that
when we are on sleigh-ride the gentlemen
aiways-that is, sometimes-wheh they
cross bridge. claim kiss, and call it toll.
But | never pay it. :"
said that nev,r heard of it before;
but when we came to the next bridge
claimed the toll; and the widows struggle
to hold the vail over her face was not enough
to tear it. At last the vail was removed,
! her round rosy face turned directly toward
| mire, and in the clear light of the frosty
n oon the toll was taken. tol the first time
in his liIe, by Dr. Meadows. Soon we came
to a Ia &c bridge with several arches; the
widow sa ID it was Of o use t. resist man
that would haze his own way, so she paid
the toll without murmur.
But you won't take toll for every arch,
will YOU, Doctor" the widow said so archly
that did not TAIL to exact all M dues, and
that was the beginning But never mind
the rest. The Lambkin had the Meadows
all to her elf in the spring
