made that j roinisc for certain considera

the promise, hut slated that he had reasons
for Voting us he did. Whether that rea
son was, that he had already Kt (J,e scrip,

If Mr. Wood got tiic advantage of the

Mother, lay sle' p is sweet

When my youn thoughts so fleet
Upward to Heaven ike.
Lit night, I dreamed that thou
Wand'st come to earth once morej
I kisud t'ny be rtUteous brow,
As I had done before.
I twined thy dark brown hair
Around my little hands;
And wr epini? breathed my prayer,
" O stay death's dread commands I"
I jrared into thine eye,
I pressed my lips to thine,
" O inotVr, do not die,
And leave thy Florentine 1"
" No, I shall never dte,'
Thy aweet voice answered me
" My home is now 011 1 igh,
And thor.; is room fur Ihea."
" Jleatb never enters here
To take a friend r.wuy ;
No gloomy graveyard's near
Fill'd with the damp decay.
" Here songs of love are sung,
Ii! strains that swell divine j
Here golden harps are strung
To Heavenly music's chime."
Thy story makes me glad,
Dear mother, up in Heaven,
I'll never more be sad,
When a harp to me is given.
O Mother, when I wake,
My spirit lungs locom; j
Ask Jesus Clirist to take
His little wanderer Hunt.
Then I will be with thoe,
In that bright, happy land )
And iny dear Father see,
A blest, unbroken band.

satisfy the longings of the immortal mind.
The time was when parents had their sons

wander to the ends of earth. They were
industrious, and their industry supplied

parents 111 their easy chairs, with a com
pany of happy children around them, all
eager to supply their wants, you sec them

ocean, or buried beneath its wave : or in
California, or .Vsiraifru. and their daugh
ters in factories or in city shops, breath
ing impure air and wearing themselves
out in the prime o( life. We are told that
the world is advancing; that the human
race arc improving. Go ask that aired
father and mother if Ibis be true. Ask
them if people now, with all their boasted
improvements nnd refinement, are hap
pier than they were, when parents had
their children around them, and the love
of gold had not taken possession of iheir
hearts; und they will tell you no, no, not
a truth part as much happiness :s enjoyed
now as then.
This age is yet to learn lliat happiness
cannot be purchased by ;oid and that a

Anecdote op General Sam llot'S
toi:. A correspondent writes of this em
inent gentleman as follows :
'I think it was in the year 1816 or
1817, I was then a boy residing in Nash
ville, Tenn., and was on such terms of
intimacy with Sam Houston as might exist
between a boy of sixteen and a man of
twenty-four or five years. Houston was
then a lieutenant of infantry. He had
been suiTering from sickness, which put
him on his back for several days. I call
ed lo see him. "Uut,"
said he, "I have been reflecting on tho
trifling, good-for-nothing life I lead, and I
am going to change it." "Well," said I,
"what character will you appear in next?'
"1 will quit the army," said he; "I will
study law. I will go to Congress. I will
be Governor of this Suite; and I will be
President of the United States before 1
die." Of course I could not refrain from
a loud laugh at this, considering it mere
idle talk, which could scarcely have the
coiir-istcnce of a draum in his mind. Said
he, "you will see; I am quite serious; I
feel it in me.' '
