Trust Your Mother.

Perhaps the eyes Of some young Mason
may light upon the heading Of this article.
If so, let tie soul drink in what the eyes
perceive. At that We woulj say is said in
that brief heading, "Trust your Mother"
No other on earth can love you as she.
The lodge is not designed to wean you from
her, but to bind you TO her. When you
we're as helpless as a ncw-hatchei bird
she pressed her lips to your cheek, and
prayed to God for your welfare. In lonely
hours, in sick hours, in dangerous hours,
in weary hourr; she has stood beside you.
All others might sail-all others forsake-
but she, like the enduring fragrance of the
lemon verbcna, las failed not. So if you
forsake others, do not forsake her.
There are many lonely, cad old mothers
in tho land. With faces creased will,
wrinkles, hair bleaching with the sunshine
Of age, footsteps trembling, and hands un-
steady, they are going down the declivity
in loneliness and sorrow.
Like articles that have ceased.to be useful,
and are laid away for verm;n to prey upon'
these mothers are placed one side and neg.
lected. The scenes Of younger days have
vanished. Old friends are in the grave.
Oh, for these dear old mothers We plead
Forget that the sky is glorious-,bat the
ocean is grand-that the mountains are
sublime forget The old homestead. forget
common fuends, forget your duty TO the
poor and to your country, but don't forget
your mother. Love her and trust her.
"Trust your mother to the end,
She will prove yeur constant frierds
If tits gladness wings the hour,
Share with her the Joyful shower;
i. Or If sorrow should oppress,
She will smile and she will blesa.
Oh, be trustful, loving, true,
That she may confde in you"

"Wherever you fnd farmer who has

years seven months and four days. On the morn

And make me al ought to be-"
We lay thee in the silent tomb,
Sweet blossom Of day.
We just began to view thy bloom,
When thou art called away.
Thy gentle spirit passed away
Mid pain the most severe;
So great we could not wish thy stay
Anoment longer here.
Thou minglest now in that bright Thong
around the eternal throre,
And join'st the everlasting song
With those before thee gone.

in narrowing terms the insults offered by that
bete noir, Leslie, to the august body of which
the barber felt himself so important part.
Rainey cultivates O pair of black, bushy side
whiskers, and, as he felt them undulating with
the motion Of his mouth, his spirits rose, and
his sentences, which had been at first broken
and hesitating, came forth bold, and round,
and ringing, until I have no doubt he mag
ined himself no mean successor of Preston or
Calhoun. Here is 8 small specimen Of the bar
ber's eloquence II have been panied at what
+ may call the Billingsgate eloquence of tb Q
senator from Barnwell. I have been pain ed
that be should become recreant to the princi-
pies he had espoused, to the principles which
enabled him to enter this Senate as o
member. am panied that he should be
renegade. But, sir, it is not for
that I vote to punish him. There is q cer-
tain amount of dignity this body must
maintain, and We will show those who act de-
rogatory to it, that We know our rigf 8, and
knowing, dare assert and maintain them, too
Why, I've seen him, Mr.. President, when you
have ruled him out OF order, rise again with
his snarling smile and ask if you meant him,
and when you said yes, he would scowl at y,
and talk at you with the fury of hyena-e, un-
I'll thought you would come down from your
seat aud say by your actions chat ''the business
of this Senate could not proceedI" Upon my
wcrd, I thought the fellow was going to say,
"Come down from your seat and knock him in
the mouth" or something similar.
Hayne, another fancy mulatto also pitched
in on the dignity question, and described the
awful conduct of poor Leslie in such vivid col
ors, that if haf he said were true, the only
wonder is that the illustrious body did not die
of modification on the 10th of August.
The upshot of the whole business was, that
the motion to reconsider was carried, and the
vote showing that two-thirds could not be OBJ
tanned for expulsion, Corbin moved to suspend
him for six months, which only required o
majority, and that was carried, eight whites
and eight negroes voting for 1t, and ten whites
against it. The result is, that the ''Keounty"
Of Barnwell viii be deprived of representation
in the Senate during the next regular session.
and if the Democrats or any other dissatisfied
members dare to speak their opinions about
the rascaIties Of the majority, they too will be
summary elected.
A bill which Was read the second time in the
House to-day attracted my attention. 1t was
bill requiring the Governor to release all con-
victs from the Penitentiary who had been con-
fined for more than six months for larceny,
and for an extraordinary time for other offen-
ces. How true the saying: ga fellow feeling
makes US wondrous kind"
