necessity for action. The plea of depend

and largely to the poor or for purposes OF
charity as heretofore. In praying atti-
tude, with his hands clasped, he sarcastic
cally remarked that he possessed no such
warm, gushing sympathy as some other
senators here. He would not allow his
name to be afflicted with such record.
The Georgia Bill Passed.
The report of the conference committee
on the Georgia bill was made to the Senate
at 10 O'Clock, and after one hours discus

provisions of the Constitution OF that State.

The President has just signed the bill
dividing Virginia into two judicial oistflcts.
The report of the conference committee

WASHINGTON, July IL Sendte.-Mr.

committee OH the Georgia bill, reported
that the committee was unable to agree

proposition as involving the abandonment

hold an election during the coming fall.

possible settlement of the matter in the con-

compunctions Of conscience IN consequence
All women know this; and putt toysursclyes,
gentlemen, whether, if it were in our power to
say to you, after marriage, "You shall be a
hermitif choose: you shall see neither pic
lures nor plays, nor hear good music, unless |
ike to take you, you would fancy that you
run no risk and made no sacrifice.
Then, leaving all these other little things,
there are those other little things, the children.
The father oftenest longs for sons and daugh-
ters, and each certainly costs him certain sum
of money; but it is the mother who, at the per-
il of her life, in such agony and terror as man
cannot comprehend, brings them into this
worldwide gives them, during their infancy,
all her days and all her nights, and makes them
by her teaching whatever they become. I DO
not deny that the children Of the man she loves
arc her most precious jewels. | repeat that
the gift of her whole life, the merging Of her
existence into her husbands, is no. esteemed a
sacrifice by loving woman and assert tha
he can repay her for all if he chooses, but not
by house and lands, or gold and gear. His
whole heart, his care and tenderness and love
like attention is the only true equivalent, and
even then the true wife receives no more than
she gives.
1t needs not an assertion Of Intellectual SUI
periority, a struggle for the ear Of the world
success in some profession, to place the wife on
a level with the husband As his he'pmcct
the mother of his children, and his homo-mak.
er, she stands beside him his equal.
His mind may be greater, his bodily strength
superior, he may battle with the world as sh
may not; but who among men will give hin
such truth and tenderness and endurance a
this his wifa-who makes herself most man
eqnal when she is most truly womauly-an,
who can receive nothing at his hands, as hi
wife, that she cannot repay? NJ. X. D.

You are now, my beloved Child, about to
leave those arms which have hitherto cherish
ed you, and directed your every step, and at

honorable protection, in the very bosom Of

ever with reverence aud delight, have the mer-
it Of your husband in view. Reflect how
vast the sum Of your obligation TO tie man,
who confcrs upon your independence, distinc-
ton, aud above all, felicity. Moderate, then,
my beloved child, your private expenses, and
proportion your general expenditure to the
standard Of lis fortune, or rather his wishes.
fear not that, with your education and prin-
ciples. You can never forget the more sacred
duties, so soon 90 be your sphere Of action
Remember the sJlemuity Of your vows, tie

your example, to your husband f,r Lis honor
and happiness, and to Heaven itself for those
rich talents ia;ru5ted 20 your care aud your

POETRY.
ONE LINK GONE.

Take the pillows from the cradle
Where the little sufferer lay;
Draw the curtains, close the shutters,
Shut out every beam Of day.
Spread the pail upon the table,
Place the liteless body there;
Back from of the marble features
Lay the auburn curls with care.
With its little blue-veined fingers
Crossed upon its sinless breast
Free from care, and pain and anguish,
Let the infant cherub rest.
Smooth its little shroud about it:
Pick its toys from off the floor;
They, with all their sparkling beauty,
Ne'er can charm their owner more.
Take the little shoes and stockings
From the doting mothers sight
Pattering feet no more will need them,
Walking in the fields Of light.
Parents, faint and worn with watching
Through the long dark night Of grief,
Draw your tears and soothe your signing
Gain a respite Of relief.
Mother, care is no more needed
To allay the rising moan;
And though you, perchance may leave 1t,
1t can never be alone.
Angels bright will watch beside it
Inits quiet, holy slumber,
Till the morning then awake it
To place among their number.
Thus a golden link is broken
In the chain of earthly bliss,
Thus the distance shortly making
'Twixt the brighter world and this.
