:To my Mother in Heaven] 1 .
lisineat bid adieu to Earth, Mother—
Thy Minds have quickly stied
The golden bowl of life is broke,
Thy spirit on high bath fled.
‘
'The light that gilt thy brow, Mother.
' All radiant, now has flown;
Tife'Spoiler Death has sped his diut,
. And claimed thee for his own."
Thy race is early run; Mother,
_ Thy guidestur Faith and Hope,
Whose cheeing light enabled thee
With bin's dark form to cope.
We hear thy.voice no more, Mother— ,
That :valet of magic spell— '
Yet shall re grieve, when thou bast gene
With Saints in light to dwell I
We had not thought that thou, Mother t
Wert thus to go so soon r •
Thy life's bright sun unclouded rose,
Unclouded set at noon. •
Yet we will not repine, Mother,
• Though -tenderest ties be riven,
Be ours the hope that at life's Close
We all meet in Heaven. 1,
Thine exit was serene, Mother,
in slumber's calm embrace; ,
Methought upon thy smiling lip
I could bright visions trace.
Perchance in some purr. clime, Mother, _
Thou aurney list in thy dream,
Or saw'st the-bright Angelic host
While passing Jordan's stream.
Another fie is gone, mother,
From fond affection's band; •
- Yet we would meekly kiss the rod,
- Nor chide that unseen Hand. •
And while we here remain, Mother, 1
Our prayers shall daily rim .
That we, when done with Eartiis rain achnea,
May ntqet thee in the skies.

A Touch of Romance.
W find iii the Noririfk [Conn.] (lazrlle of Tues
day last, a long account of a romantic affair which
recently occurred partly to that neighborhood and
partlr Lll this city. A young Brooklin Lady, about
fifteen years of age,'and an ardent gokwaA,youth,
it seem., became desperately attached, and as no
other way of terminating their suspense appeared
plannedan elopement. The young lady stole away
at early dawn crossed the East River, found her
lover in waiting, and took the first train to Norwalk.
The father missed his daughter at breakfast, sus

left far 'Wilton. and thence for Puundridge, the
Gretnagreen of Fairfield counly, in company with
their groomsmen and bridesmaids. Just as he came
in sight of them his carriage broke down. But 'as
it happened they had all taken the *row , ' road, and
She wedding party Vll9 obliged to turn back. The
rest of the story we give in the Gaiette's words:
"The old man concealed his face: td° prevent too
hasty a recognition, and with his driver set about
repairing his broken wheel. The wedding party
came up, consisting of two strapping groomsmen
and the same number of bridesmaids. They stop
ped at the broken wagon, and inquired i any as
siAanee was wanted. Yes, said the fath r. Out
jumped one of the groomsmen, and the mt, instant
in jumped the father into the grootnsman. empty
seat.. The consternatinn may be imagi The
Inver swore, the groomsman showed fight, and the
old man kept cool as a cucumber. " Going to get
married, eh I said he ;'well I'll go long; a man cer
tainly has a right to attend his daughters wedding."
So send n; his own conveyance home, he kept his
seat, while the discomfit ted groomsman got up with
the driver.
" In process of time. they allired at .the magis

the father turned to the disappointed lover

i
It would seem that the subject of the temperance
reformation ha. 4 been so frequently nod in such Va
riety of form, presented to the mind, as to have
beCome almost exhausted of argument, and indeed
silent observation of every day occurrences must
have convinced the most sceptical of the ruinous
influence of the tratli~ in alchoholic thinks.
The failure thus far of all efforts to subdue this
Hydra-headed evil, has furnished too palpable ev
idence ,tliat we have to contend with no ordinary
foe; tchiporary checks have indeed beely thrown
around bill from time to dine, but like a giant
aroused from his slumber-, he lets cast off the fee
ble tionili, and with merciless ferocity entered anew
upon the work i>l destructii in. .The Demon linems
perance still lives, and rules and reigus among us,
with an almost resi,dess _war. May it Lot he
profitable to inquire into some of die cause; which
have operated to retard the progress of one of th e
noblest enterpriSes that ever employed the mind of
man: postom exerts a tyraimical influence over
mankind; and its-imperious laws bold the mind in
such cdmplete subjection, that few, very few, have
the moial courage to're?.ist its claims. tiy a strange
perversion of terms, many men yield the most sla
vish allegiance to custom, while they imagine them
selves the living l embodinteot of courage. A gen
tleman is presented with the social glass: does h e
hesitate! he is , irery jocosely admonished of his
i..
want Of notim , and the Wirtile artillery of ridi
cule and dePdri is owned upon hint—the chal
lenge is ezectpte .. He Airs ridicule. and to it
he basely sucretwileCs the undisputed claims of mor,:,
al obligation. Call yon that courage ! Why, di'
act itself- has prnived him one of the veriest cow
ards in nature; lie has not the moral courage to re:
fuss to do what ihe knows to be wrong. Again,
some office'of tru e st or profit calls for the election of
a candidate, and Multitude's will vote for the nomi
nee of a particular party, even at the sacrifice of
every principle of morality and justice; they can
look unmoved upon the claims of truth and nghte
ousness, and reject the clearest admonitions of con
science, but, they 'dare not .encounter ridicule.
.
Men hare political duties, for'the right perform!
once of which they will be held responsible to God
and their fellow , reatures ; and the temperance'
cause owes much of her want of success to - the
criminal neglect of those duties. The sin of com
mitting the sacred interests of Temperadee to the
keepinOsf men Who are - theoretically and ptracti- :
cally opposed to her principles, lips at the door of
her priesa.ld frit-ick How can. we expect suc- 1
ec3 s,' while men tear down awl destroy with one
hand what theylmild up with the other. Many
are influenced only-by-moth-es of present personal '
advantage, Such have very contracted views: lit
eral! y men of one klea• the dollar fi nd the entire
orbit of their viiimi. , -:-they,can neither see above or
around it ; and they willdelibemtely barter their
heaven-born privileges fol. ti mess of pottage; and
they seldom obtainreven that, after all. Itnt they
do secure to then.--elves lasting infamy. No man
can place himself in a more contemptible po,ition
than when. by his public acts. he belies his profes
sed principles. He who fears to do right beatt3e
it conflicts with a•corruptlublie opinion, had bet
ter remain a while longer in the nursery.
Another class, of the professed friends of tempe
rance,
are s-cry courageous when out of eight of
thelbe : theic are' the special, leaders in tempe
rance meetings, arei very enthusiastic in their cal
culations of the utter extermination of the enemy,
can discourse eloquently of the duties of •petseve
ranee, zeal and etuirgy, in, presence of the friends
of the cause ; but Whe - n they are-called to face - the
foe and engage in personal conflict, they are gener
ally found missing.: Such then are of no use, but
"to give aid and comfort to the enemy." They
very frequently remind we of -a man why resided
in,tlic place of my riativity, - a feW miles from Bos

hibited a great animosity, and wits- vociferous in
his denunciations against the British; and; seemed
impatient for an oppOrtunity to dkplay, his noble
daring in a personal encounter; and I vento thought
in my childish ituagniationoliat it would be ex
tremely perilous fur. a Briton to set lout un " Bro
