Before Sadie died, she called her sister to her,
and requested her to sing " The happy land,"
and that beautifpl hymn for children, com
mencing" I want to be an angel."
" Oh 1 come, my Birter dear, once more
Sing to me of 'The happy land,
Far far away,' on f'anaan'• shore.
Sing to me of the happy band
Of white-robed choristers above,
Who sing our Savior's dying love
"Once more fur me. m► sister dear,
want to be an angel' sing,
You know I lured to sing it here.
And hark I the heal enly arches ring
With songs of that,angelic band,
Who call meta 'The happy land.'
"I see those radiant stars alight
That shine around our Father's throne ;
I see the angels robed iu white ;
I know that soon that band join
And see my Savior's face, for Ile
Said, 'Suthr them to come to rue.'
"They call me from a world of sin,
To Le a happy angel, there
Where death can never enter In,
And all unknown is grief and care.
They call me from this world of woe,
They call me, and I fdu would go.
"Mother, a parting kiss bestow,
Anti fit'her, take my hand In thine;
Dear ones, a bust farewell; bet o ti
When aidie's gone do not repine,
For with that white-robed cherub band,
tier home la in 'The happy land'"
Thus Sadie died; her cherished form
Yon laid within the cold, dark grave:
Yon laid Est there, but angels bore
tier /man to the God who gave ;
And while your hearts were wrung with pain
And anguish, lo! death came again.
ne came and snatched another flower,
Watched o'er with fond parental care:
And oh ! that bitter, bitter. hour,
When from your arcs that flower se fit:r
Was torn by Death's relentless band
To blossom in "Tue happy land."
Yea, rimy shall blossom in the skies,
Those fragile flowers that faded here:
Then Litt to heaven your weeping eyes,
And let this thought your spirits cheer—
That in the realms of bliss above
You'll meet the children of your love.

"The poor mother knelt, clasping her wither

•
It was a dim, secluded spot
When twilight mellow'd all the scene,
One Weir England's rural haunts
With meadows soft and woods of green.
Within the rustic church yard gate
Where violets and the daisies grew,
I paused to con the moss-grown slabs
Beneath tillk tall funereal yew.
An old cktirch, with its shadowy aisles
And ivied:gables near arose,
Cruwu'd , kith its ancient (luthic spire
Around wihtli beerd the rooks and (rows.
But sudderidin the drowsy air
A tolling bents requiem peurd,
Sending its mournful voice afar
O'er stately lawn and cultur'd field.
In a remote, neglected nook,
*A corner of God's Acre, where
No mausoleum of the great
Arose, with marbles rich and rare,
A laborer toil'd with pit k and spade
To delve a Our man's humble grave,
Where a poor a tduw's son might lay
his head, where soft the willt.ws wave.
Slow toll'd the bell! And sad and slow
A dark procession gather'd near;
A plain deal coffin, without pall,
Was testing on the pauper's bitr.
Before, the rough old sexton nalk'd
With heedless step and careless mien;
No trappings of affected woe.
No splendid mourning trail/ was seen.
The village children trom their sport
Caine running hand in hand to laze
With childish interest on the scene.
Intent to scan the mourner's face.
There was one mourner—one sincere,
An aged woman wan and weak,
Who totter'd on with feeble step,
Torn w it'i a grief nu tongue could speak.
She knelt beside the new turn'd sod,
Clasping her wither'd hands in woe,
And by her pale cunrulsii%e lips,
y her frail trame rock'd to and fro,
I knew she'gaz'd w ith anguish wild
On the dead features of her child ;
On her poor sailor boy that came
From far, to here repose his frame.
The rich hare friends to soothe their woe,
Joys to beguile, a world to cheer;
New pleasures blunt the sting of grief,
And wean them from the sable bier.
But the poor aged. those whose lire
Too oft is bnt a wintry day,
What earthly solace may avail
To cheer the anguish of their way?

BETA sub-committee of a School Board,
not a thousand miles from the city of Lynn,
were examining a class in a primary school.
One of the committee undertook to sharpen
up their wits by propoundtug the following
question : "If I had a mince pie, and should
give two- grelfths to John, two-twelfths to
Isaac, two-twelfths to 'lorry, and should keep
twit of the pie for myselt, what would be
left, ?"
There was a profound study among the
scholars, but finally one lad held, up his hand,
as a signal that he was ready t 3 answer.
" Well, sir. what would there be left
Speak up load, so that all can hear," said the
committee man.
" The plate !" shouted the hopeful fellow.

Dyspepsia and Constipation.
This disease is not to be cured by medical
prescriptions got from books. You must get
at the cause and remove it. Of a dozen dys
peptics, scarcely two may be affected alike.—
In many cases, abuse of the stomach is doubt
less the source of the trouble. All aperient
pills increase tLe weakness which causes the
complaint; to this rule there is no exception.
All nostrums and patent medicines. of what
ever pretentions, are injurious. In no case
can any relief be obtained from their use.
Whoever uses tobacco or malt liquors, or
other ounstant stimulants, ur even unfree, and
finds svmptonie of indigestion, must abandon
these fiabits, and it will be time enough to
think of active remedial treatment when it
is found that the disease is not then ri.moved.
Whoever has a troubled mind, or is c , infinc.l
to monutanotts tuil w ithout exercise of lots'?
or bodily recreation, and finds himself dys
peptic, must first seek relief by correcting
these causes ; for, so lung as they exist, pam
pering the disease, medicine can be of nu
avail.
OOKMC2ICATIED
If there be any drain upon the vital pow
ers in any direction, beyond healthful moder
ation, it mkt be elicited before we can hope
to return to the digestive organs the a igor of
which they are robbed. No doctor's stu ff ran
supply the nattintl forces which only the vi
tal chemistry of the living body can create.—
Like intoxicating spirits, tlyspeptlt medicines
may for the moment exhiliarite a patient and
make him feel great thing.; but, afterwards
they mare the trouble greater than before.
Beware of tea and toast, and such like di
et, u remedies fur dyspepsia. These do but
impose uureasonable tasks upon impaired di
gestion. What is wanted- is exactly the op
posits regimes, namely fond that is small an
bulk and rich in sobitantial nutriment, some
thing a hich,with the least exertion of the pow
ers the stomach can turn into rich blood to re•
neve tl.e poverty of the fluids. Rare beef
steak, for instance, not fried in a pan of fat
and sole-leathered, but quickly embrowned
on a gridiron, and served up with the oosing
juices of red life; and if thud accompaniment
is desired, kt ns try port wine, weakened to
suit the strength of the organs. but rather
reduced in quantity than watered too much.
Bran•bread is of no atataunt in this disease.
It is excellent for constipation,
If used now
and then, but no: continuousl y. We must
discriatie,ate between these couiplaitits. In
constipation, often, the digestion ta even go
perexcellent, and the torpor of the bowels,
which occasions the trouble, is due to the too
therms • h absorption of the liquid parts of
our food, leaving a residuum too dry and rig
id to be freely moved forward through the
curvatures of the lower bowels. The most
distressing of grows out of the impart
tion of matter in the colJa from this cause,
airing dull pains which banish sleep and good
humor. Pills are not the remedy . for this
distress, hut tepid or cold water ti jet:thins
which readily reach the colon, and, by sup
plying moisture, bring away the obstruction.
this treatment, though nqt a cure but a tem
porary reLef, secures froth distention of the
bowel, which weakens its muscular power
and promotes costiveness, and it also prevents
it by dislodging, frequetly, remuants which
often lie impacted in too colon fur years, caus
ing all sorts of distressing feelings.

Our Country's Greatest Source of Danger
We take from tho April number of the l'a •
rifir tirn framing in Lingterr.m sketch
of an interview het-Neon linnry Clay and Rev.
Dr. Hill, editor of the e43ryterian Herald, of
Kv.
It iv written under the abore cnntion aq
fAI ars
" A few weeks prior to the death of the
lion. lienry Clay, when he passed tlfrough !
our city, on his way to Washington, at the
request of a Methodist minister from one of 1
tho N ,rthern State*, who had never seen the
great statesman, we celled with him to see
him. He was quite feeble. and snoke of his'
death as a probable event within n few months.
He stated that nothing hut a deep and abiding
conoktion thr.t the imhtn of the Strtt.q was in
iramineut peril c 'old have induced him, in
his state of health, to leave the quiet of his
home and gn back to the Senate, the seat of
so many of hit struggles and great achieve
ments. The opinion was ezpresie 111 one or
both of us that the danger of tiistinion was
greatly over-e4timated, and that if it erer
came to tke test it w..uld be found that there
wore very few who would be toad enough to
'rush into disunion, tither in the North or
South. Ile shook his head ominously and
rerlied : ' Gentlemen, if I have studied any
thing it is the genius and spirit of the Ameri
can people, both in the Nortri and the South,
and I tell you there is danger. There is a
spirit rising up in Loth sections of this Re
public, 'Which, if not speedily quelled, will
bring about a severance of the Union of these I
States, nut in tw , ,, but into half a dozen little
petty Republics, or itespott.unß, as the er.ge
may be.' It visa replied that on several fors;
mcr occaaions the North and the South had i
been arrayed against each other in Litter hos
tility, but that the hostility bud died away
and the parties restored to more than their
former fnendly relations. 'Alt,' said he,
'aka was before the rise of modern abolltionism.
Fanaticism cannot be controlled, and especially
religious fanaticism. The eturches of the
country then stood together, and in their
great annual assemblies they drew the bonds
of union 'and brotherhood together. Now
most of them have been rent asunder, and
they are acting as dividers rather than to
bind the country.' Said he, 'Gentlemen, you
are both of you minister, of the gospel, and I
tell you that this sundering of the religious
ties,. which have hitherto bound our people
together, I consider the greatest source of
danger to our country. /1 our religious tees
cannot lice logellser in peace, whal can be expec
kg of our politicians, rery Jew of whom pro
(as'to be vorerwed by the great principles of
lore?' If all the churches divide on the sub
ject of slavery, there will be nothing left to
hind our people together but trade and nom
amerce." That,' seed. he, 'is *leery powerful
bond', I - admit, but when the people of these
States become thoroughly aliennte I Cron each
other, and get their passion/ aroused, they
are nut apt to stop and consider what is to I
their interest. It is against The interest of i
both parties. iu every Contest, to go to.war, I
but nations constantly do it notwithstanding ;
that feet. It is against the interest of men I
to light duels, but they often (To it when they
know that ruin both to themselves and fami- '
lies stares them full in the face' 'So,' said !
he, 'men will light. if they consider their rights
tromplal upon, even it you show them that
ruin to themselves uLd tamilies will Am the
probable result. Besides, in times of - high
excitement, the violent men un both sides get
the control of matters, aiduicaierate men are
thrown in the background, and their coon-
Isets go unheeded.' •
'' Finding that the venerable statesman had
exhausted his strength in tulking we arose to
bid him adieu,as we supposed, for the last time
epun eery,. Ile shook the hands of both of
us, and said, ' ilyom poeackers will only keep

The late Mr. Matron. those' Obassilrit4 —
ly figured in the Dublin papers, bad ab..
seat from England more than a iimarier old
century. In the early part of hislifti4 when
studying fur the bar in London, he bestamid
acquainted with an actress of szseenng NNW
ty. named Dely, arid finding he weld not pro.
cure her u a mistrals, resolved to" wosturei
upon her as a wife. They married, bet as
their dispositions were not neatly sinter,
they were nut superlatively happy. One
morning, on returning from rehearsal at the
royal Circus. where she was then porformingi
abe addressed her astuilished husband thus:
• Murrell, I believe you are heartily tired
of me, as I am heartily tired of you; so that
if vnu will settle five hundred a year upon
me, I will put you in a way of dissolving oar
marriage."
The propane was made by the lady onl
three months after their marriage. The
husband en.; , .rly embraJed the offer, and gave
her his bons fur performing his part of the
eentraet, on which she produced a certificate
of her precious nrirria;;e to * performer at
one of the minor theatres, who lived in lam
both.
NO. 46.
This point being ascertained. Mr. Morrell
refuse•! 10-pny the annuity, and she found
there was a flaw in the drawing-op which
would put it oat of her power to compel him.,
She therefore told him that unless be entered
into a new and legal agreement she would
take a step which would still roadie
her marriaga with him perfectly valid. He
laughed at her, but she performed her
promise by bringing a certificate and produ
cing a register, by which it appeared that
the performer, previous to his marriage mitts
her, was married to a vocalist, who was them
alive. This disconcerted the F entleman, who,
however, tnanal,ed to get quit of her impor—
tunities by giving her £.1,00J in hardeasti,
on condition of her going to America, where
she once mire °mere I the connubial state,
and obtained great n .toriety as a fine actress.

The Example of Pennsylvania.
The Baltimore Republican, says, the Demo. -
craey of the old Keystone State; with that
genuine patriotism and sound sense which
has ever characterised there, have determin
ed not to listen te the few demagogues whO
would prevent theii union against the com
mon enemy. They have settled one elector
al ticket, mitt; the undertt aiding that whoev
er has a majority of the votes shall have the
eleeti ral tete of the St.tte. This is wise,
patriotic, and - Democratic, and the ex pie
should be followed throughout the country.
In any. State where a majority of the Demo
cratic voters are for Bought+, ho should hero
the e.eewral vote, and where a majority
shall be for lireckinridge. the vote of the
State should be cast fur him; and if the_Uni
ted vote will elect tither of them, when. the
Electoral Culle,.;e cutues together, let him that
has the larger nunillir receive them all. This
will preN mit permane'tit division in the Dem.
oclatie party and secure the defeat of Lincoln. .
Does not tttriotinn, self-preservation and
duty, all point te this as the proper course to
be pursued at such a time as this? Who will
nest fellow the lead of Pennsylvania, and
thus show that the peace 'of thecuuntry, and
the unity of the party are dearer to them
than their pride and self-interest.

The election of Leslie Coombs in Ken

of others who voted fur him for other reasons.
General Coombs is an old man, nearly eighty
years of age ; he is personally very popur,
k-loved by all tor many noble trait* of
character ; and he has beeemo bankrupt in
fortune by his liberality and public spirited
disposition. The people felt that he had been

State, and, through sympathy, they voted
to give Lila a lucrative ()thee, that ho might
hate a comfortable' support in "his devfin

wally of the Deinocrotie counties by large
majoritie3. The charge made by. the lle
putlicu 11 that the Kentucky election demon
strates the weakness of Breckinridge, is sim
ply ridiculous. If Brukinridge is weaker in
