,\T rest! Oil words of joyful sound—
To voyager o'er Life's sea ;
When tempest-tossed and sore oppressed,
They long at rest to be.
Piljrim of Life ! this lesson learn ;
Hope not at rest to be, —
This is a world of toil and strife;
It has no rest for thee.
Thou art a soldier of th>* cros s .
Rise, then—urrd un thv -woid;
Thou canst not hope to idly rest ;
Do service lor thy Lord.
In every hour do well toy part.
Adorn thy life by work- of love.
Walk in thy .Master's -iep—ir-ar not—
There's res! for thee above.
BE.U Tin l .TiEuIENTO OF AFFECTION.
We have just rpn ! with the hijjhe-t gratification
and adiniratiun. the beautklnl poetic address of Mrs.
Martha \V,.lker Cook, of Trenton, to her brother,
lire lion. Robert J. Walker, recently appointed Gov -
ernnr of Kansas. !t is oils of the r: ost beautiful
productions we have ever -.ecu ; replete W tt corriis
cations of intellect, stem, of rai 1 poetic excellence,
and more theri all and above all, filled with the heart"-
trea-ure of svtt pathv and aff-ction. it has rarely
been our good foitune to peru ; e a poem ol higher
merit, viewed sirr.ply as a literary production ; but
when, in addition to it- other run! ties, its eloquence
a: -i-terly uiTection : cons dare.), it her. : -üb
i me in it- touching pat ho- and magnificent beauty.
The add-e-s commences a- lollow -:
Wilt thou leave us. then, my brother,
Seek a di-tar.t lai '.
Genii' vvle and suffer eg mother,
L-ave thy household band !
All the loving tie- that weave thee
Soft in complex strand.
Cao-t thou thus of all bereave thee,
Wilt thou thu- withstand
All the tear- tumultuous flowing.
From the be tigs t ue and glowing,
Clinging to thy hand.
The appeal tl.er. alludes to wife, daughter, re
maining children, a!! the ties that make ];!•• a bless
ing; ton'! the !u:ui memories of their youth ul ('ays:

The dangers that hg will have to twef, the joys be
will have To forego, the home happiness l.e w U be
coiupelled to -acrilice in thi- nuss on ol pnbhc pa
triotism and his country".- good. The authoress say-:
1 sliame me that my woman's tears should pour so
hot and fa-t !
Forgive rne ibat my sinking heart should call up
pleasures past !
1 shame me that my shrinking sotii sours not to
height of thine 1 ~ _
Forgive me that a patriot's child shun! 1 cower and
repine,
When thou hast come, at Duty's call, each pleasure
to res'gn.
To offer s;>.ter—children—wife—upon thy country 's
do wrap the stars around 'fee, as thou ha-f dune of
yore;
The Constitution in thy har d til! discord rings no
more!
The strong backwoodsman loves thee, he knows thee
well of old:
The flashing thought upon thy lips, thou'it have no
need ol gold '
The la v of honor rules thy tongue—thy hemt, the
law of love;
>o stronger than the trumpet's tone thy words true
bosoms move !
There is many a pang before thee! Slander will do
its worst!
There art men bent on disunion, in guile an 1 tact.on
nursed,
Who will strive with every sinew to make wrong ap
pear the right.
As Lucifer is wont to robe hims< !f like an angel
igiit;
Hut pause not faint not valiant heart! our God
protects the just;
Keep watch o'er laws and people's cause, and in Him
put thy tru-t !

Sumsc TIIK ACTION TO THH WORD. —A
funny story is told of a young number of the
Bar in this citv, who is exceedingly sedate and
reserved in his manner, and withal not possess
ed of any great degree of physical prowess.—
Some time since a brawney customer entered
tiis office and stated that he wished to bring an
action agaimO a man for thrusting him forcibly
out of his shop. The lawyer bade him to be
s atnl, and ashed hirn to relate the particulars
of the cav. that he might properly under
stand how t.> conduct it.
'•Well sir." sai I the client, "I ordered a job
of w rk at Mr. It's shop, arid at the time speci
fied [ called. Ife to! ime it was not finished.
I said—then as vou have not kept your word,
v u need n tdo the job at all. lie flew into a
nge." [H< re the cii nt rose from his seat, in
an exci: d manner, and, taking the lawyer by
the He. ~ c . ded to d-iuoostrate practically
the nature of the violence used, j
"'ft.at will do." said the lawyer, "you have
hurt my m-ck."
"But he dragged trie to the door," continued
the client, still holding on to bis legal adviser,
and endeavoring to make him feel the enormity
: <.f the :.iy, bv using him in a similar man
ner.
"Let ;> v throat and sit down or I'll"
''it g ,hat the leg;:! gentleman was affronted,
•he excited t: hi 1 iincuished his hoid.] The
lawyer proceeded:
"Sir 1 believe you are under the influence ot
■ lu|uor, and I cannot attend to your business at
present. Vou may call to-morrow, if sober."
T -morrow came—so ci'.d the client—but not
s il>er He began to repeat his wrongs, and the
lawver kept a keen eye on his manipulations.—
• When lie got to the grabbing place, lie made the
attempt again to suit the action to the word.
"No vou don't,' said lilac!;stone, assuming a
hostile attitude.
"Just let me show vou how easy"—
"Clear out, I have had a sore neck ever since
| yesterday !"
"But I want to take Ihe law on that
"Vou had better withdraw your suit—l think
you got no more than you deserved."
This unkind remark of the attorney to his
cii-nt, ended the parley. The client stepped
out, while the lawyer resumed his seat, satisfied
that, although he bad lost a fee, he bad escap
ed as "ml choking. Pitts'iur g i'nion.
