A MOTHER'S LOVE.
A mother's love, how para, bow deep,
How ceaseless in its flow !
Love, that lite-long watch can keep,
Aid no abatement know !
r When ber frail children first draw Breath,
It kindles to a flame,
And till ber eye-lid close in death,
Buroteyeron. the same! . .. 4
That flame burns on, still clear and high
la sunshine and in storm.
Though grief may dim her watchful eye,
Or labor bow her form !
Alike where steadfast rirtne crowns
liercbildren's honored name,
Or. on their guilt a stern world frowns
Burns erer on, the same !
Alone, the mother's quenchless lore,"
Where'er her children stray
hinej like the day-star from cn high,
L'pon their pilgrim way !
For the "Raftsman's Journal."
The Power of Hope.
. There is, in the human mind,' something
that goes ont and anchors itself to the high
er and nobler objects" of labor and sacrifice.
As the lofty mountain brow pierces the
darkling mists that enshroud it and greets
the radiance ol" sunlight, so the hope-inspired
sou) of man; grandly rises ajoid the
thick clouds of earth's trammeling opposi
tions and chines in the sacred hue of 'leav
en's reflected Leautiec.
Hope is the change from sickness to health
from death to life. It is the goideu chain
that links the real to the ideal, the visible'
to the invisible, the material to the -spiritual,
the finite; to the infinite. It is that
which connects" labor and reward, the strug
gling one and the victor, the human and the
divine, Earth and Heaven, time and eternity.
Ilupe is the heritage of the noble-minded,
the empire of truths' advocates, the do
main of great men's thoughts," the germ of
Uitional existence, the fountain of christian
life. It guided the midnight marches, and
lighted the pathway of the Israelites. It
t'vers-Ladowed the humble sanctity of a
home in Judea; and summoned wise men
from the East to wortbip the Babe of Beth
lehem! It marked the origin,' and has
traced out the earth-encircling course of the
fOhpel. . It has marshalled to the ttandard
the heroes of church" and state reform.
while it led Luther and his kindred spirits
through the fierce' ordeal of diuration's
rtrife. placed their records' above the rerch
of skeptical conspiracy, and set their names
in golden -characters, it lighted the camp
fires ot Liberty's army, and culled out from
the fierce contentions between English Kings

icy sunace ot our sail-covered waters, is
feen in the triumphal arches of our free-;
5mi anniversaries, and speaks in thunder
tones from the lofty domes of our hundred
thousand f-anctuares.
And, when clouds of darkest night over
hung our national prosperity, and it seemed
though the angel that had so long guided
the chariot of our destines had flown to his
native Heaven," Hope came down through
the smoke of the conflict, and pointing us
to our ramparts, we looked aud beheld that

.. , Big Treeff in Missouri.
It is popularly supposed that , California
nas tne biggest trees in the world, but Prof.
Swallow, of the Missouri Geological Survey,
claims the distinction for his own State.
He gives the following actual measurement
or big trees in southern Missouri:
"The largest is a sycamore in Mississippi
county, sixty-five feet high, which, two feet
above the ground, measures forty-three feet
in circumterence. Another sycamore in
Howard county is thirty-eight feet in diam
eter. A cynress in Cane Girardeau countv.
at a distance of one foot above the ground,
measures twenty-nine feet in circumference.
A cottonwood in Mississippi county meas
ures thirty feet round, at a distance of six
feet above the ground. - A pecan in the
Bame county is eighteen feet in circumfer
ence. A " black walnut in Benton countv
measures twentv-two teet m" circumference.
A white oak in Howard county is twenty-six
ieet in circumterence. A tulip tree (poplar)
hi uaoe- uiraraeau countv is tnirtv ieet in
circumference. There is a tupelo in Stod
dard county thirty feet in circumference. A
hackberry in Howard county is eleven feet
in circumference. A Spanish oak in New
Madrid county is twenty-six feet in circum

is sixteen feet in circumference. A honey
locust in Mow-jrd county is thirteen feet
round. There is a wil ow in Pemiscot coun
ty th'it has grown to the size of twenty-four

sassafras that must be king of that tribe; it
measures nine feet in circumference. A
persimmon in the same county is nine teet

I have now been married seven weeks, and
have never found the least reason to
repent the day that joined us. Husband is
in person and manners far from resembling
those ugly, cross, disagreeable and jealous
monsters, who think by confining to t-ecure
a wife ; it has been his maxim to treat as a
bosom friend and confidant," and not as a
plaything7 or menial slave; the woman
chosen to be his company. Neither party
he says, should always obey implicitly ;
but each should yield to the other by turns.

When Gen. Itourseau was before the Sen
ate as a nominee for an honorable place in
the U. S. arruj , lair minded and liberal Re
publican Senators considered it unwise to
confirm him. It was asserted with vehe
mence that notwithstanding Rousseau's iral-
lantry as a soldier, he w.ts at heart in sym-
pathy with traitors. This assertion produced
a profound ieelme amnmr Konatnt-e
and Rousseau was confirmed with less cor
dial and approving feeling than any soldier
who had secured the approval of the Sen
ate. Late events have proved that what
was asserted of Rousseau when before the
Senate was aud is true. The President has
selected this soldier as the head of the com
mission to proceed to Wa!rusia for the pur
pose of managing the proceedings of trans
ferring that territory to the United States.
On his way to Washington to receive in
structions Rousseau nassed' through New
Orleans, and he scarcely reaches the federal
capital before Gen. Grant receives a letter
from Gen. Sheridan, in which that officer
complains of Rousseau's eonduct.he having

statement unmade to enhehten the people

the lately revolted Slates are the true men
of the country, and that the "lost cause"
will be battled for as soon as its upholders

Thirty-Three Tears Ago !
' Thirty-three years ago', the Democracy
were all applauding Gen. Jackson for threat
ening to hang John C. Calhoun, for his
agency in the" Nullification acts of South
Carolina- Jackson held it o be a (reason
able offense, deervingthe halter. It was
Democracy-iri those . days to denounce Cal
houn and his teachings as traitorous. Rut
now it is the very quintessence of Democra
cythe simori pure, double-refined article
to hold as orthodox the Calhoun State Riehts
doctrine, in all its length and depth and
breadth. Thirty-three years ae:o, for a
State by legislative act to deny the' Consti
tutionality of ji law of Congress, and refuse
to obey it, Was held by the Democracy to be
treason against the Government, aud pun-
ishablo ' aCCOrdinSlly. Xom. hnnv&r lliia f
same Democracy avers that a State has a
''reserved right" to nullify the Constitutiou
and laws of the General Government, to'
possess its forts, rob its arsenals; pillage its
mints and 'make war upon its people. That
has been Democracy from 1860 to 1867.
Truly, thirty-three years wrought a wonder
ful change. Instead of punishing treason,
Democracy .would reward it. Instead of
casting out traitors, Democracy takes them
to "its arms. Jackson is repudiated, and
Calhoun is exalted; And yet you shall hear
these Democrat swear their' Democracy
comes by the line of direct succession from
the hero of New Orleans. They swear by
"Old Hickory;1' but-follow Nullifier and
then ask the people to give them credit for
honesty and sincerity. -

he asked him for a basin of water to wash
their faces. The artist informed the custo

case immediately occured to the operator

curious sentence, "Sator arcpo teret opera

ly be translated. "I cease from mv work ;
the rawer will wear away his wheels." It
is, in fact, something like a tiousense verse,
but has these peculiarities: 1. It spells
backward and forward all the same. 2. Then
the first letter of each word spells the first
word. 3. Then' all the second letters of each
word spell the second word. 4. Then all the
third ; and so on through the fourth and
fifth! 5. Then commencing with the last
letter of each word spells the first word. fi.

ers smell stronger and sweeter, because the
vapors of the air prevent the scented parti -cles,
of their perfume from ascending, as
they would' in a drier atmosbhere. In
stead of rising above the earth; the odor is

plants are stronger in fragrance just before
a fall of rain, we see horses stretchout their
necks and sniff the air in a peculiar manner.
