'From the Viethota
In Memory of a Daughter.
Two years have passed eiuce•round our hearth,
With flowing curls andlac4hing eyes,
A cherub came, with joy and mirth,
An angel in our earthly skies.
Around us skipped her tiny feet,
Like fairy footsteps on the flowers;
Her !silvery •oioe with mnalo'sweet,
Enlivening all the dreary hours.
She sung and played with winsome ways ;
So augol-like to us she seemed,
That scarce a thought of mortal days
Came o'er us, or of sorrow dreamed.
But when the towers of Summer's pride
Began to fade, though once so gay,
Death came—and then our Matte died,
And passed from them and us away:
, •
Her silvery voioe no more we hoar,
No longer see her laughing eyes ;
And though we shed the silent tear,
Faith hopes to meet her in the skies.
Her little shoes are with us still,
Her bonnet, and the look of hair,
Her pretty clothes all folded lie,
But Martha Jane's no longer there,
.
Beneath the cold, earth, her form
Lieg free from pain or sorrow-riven;
She was an angel here below,'
An angel now, above in heaven.

EPISODES OF FRRNOH HISTORY, Daring the COlL
sulate.and the First Empire. By Miss Pardoe,
author of "Court and Reign of Francis L,"
" Life of Marie de Medeois," Louis MN.

Century," &0., &o. 12m0., pp. 861. New
York: Harper 4 - Brothers, Franklin Square.
1859.
In great battles, in changes of Ministries, in
National revolutions, we are looking on outward
manifestations of life, •Do we• not all desire to
draw aside the veil, in order to look not only into
the council chamber, but into the drawing-room,
into the boudoir, and the secret closet, where
motives may be 'penetrated, and 'moving' conies
be traced up to their real origin ? The work
before us is one to satisfy such longings. Miss
Pardm who is thoroughly conversant with
French history, Was engaged 'in preparing the
life of a royal character, and from self-respect
she paused when part of her task was completed.
She has, however, taken a portion' of her Mate
rials, and without much respect to the order of
time she has here given them to the public. The
book lei a readable one, - and'we deubt not but in
looking, by means of these pages, behind the
scenes, the condition of affairs in Paris during
the period described, will be presented in a new
dress to many spectators.

trated by several appropriate cats. It is a book
for the time. • Its object is to illukrate and en
force the great principle of benevolence. In its
practical forms and various modes of develop
ment. In doing this it goes beyond the overt act
and deals with the inward aotings of the mind
and the heart, fixing the outward duty upon its
only safe.and proper basis, the Word of God and
the motives , whioh it inculcates. Giving, even in
a good cense, must be a work of the heart as well
as of the hand. This is admirably exemplified in
the "Widow's Sixpence."
Th 9 poor are often deferred from giving by an
apprehension' that their straightened worldly cir
cumstances are such as to excuse them: from the
duty ; or if 'they did give, the sum would be so
small, that it would accomplish nothing. This is
a mistake. A few cents given from love to Christ
and a desire to do good, may be productive of
F reat and extended results. This is beautifully
illustrated by the history of the "Widow's Six
pence." The various characters , which are
brought into 'View in the progrees of the story,
are well drawn •, and the rich as well as the poor;
the occupant, of the stately mansion as well as
the dweller in the lowly cottage, will find itustrtto=.
tin, lessons in this inviting little work. ,Let all,
buy it and feed it. It will aid in {strengthening
their beneioleiii'affections and in giving a sound

Temperance Convention.
The Temperance Contity Convention aesem
bled on the Bth inst., pursuant to previous notice.
It was quite fully attended, and was organized ae
follows : Rev. Dr. Presely was, , :hosen its Presi
dent ; Wm. M. Shinn, Esq. and Hiram.
Hultz were chosen . Secretaries. .
Oa motion, it was resolved that the above be
the !permanent officers of the Convention.
Dr.'. Jennings, Dr. Campbell, Thos. Steele,
J. .F.. Dray°. and Josiah King, Eggs., were
appointed 'a committee to prepare'business for
the convention. In the absence of the commit:.
tee, Dr. Carothers, of Wilkinsburg, made a few
excellent remarks, as we,were informed, but we
were not in at the moment when he spoke.
T. J. Bigham, Esq. '
then spoke for a few
minutes.. The, general scope of his remarks
were in denunciation of strychnine whiskey, and
in general the infernal stuff that bringe madness
'and death. He made some remarks relative to
the present law, but we did , not gather any defi
nite views which he entertained.
Rev. Dr. Reed, of Birmingham said that the
great power which is to be Wielded for salvation
froin drunkenness is in the church. It is not
only that drunken men , kick their wives out of
dociri and ruin their faMilies; it is that',l.hey:
ruin their souls. - -
Rev. Dr. Reilly, of Christ Church, then spoke.
He said thti_,coauso was _ not so poOultir as it had
been ; when it' carried people along, when it was
a leading cause it drew many in.
This may be called thelight brigade slid if
it is you will \ find barrels to the right of you
and barrels to the left of you, all the way up
and down the streets of this pity, and he trusted
that they would make a charge upon them and
smash them by the power of moral suasion. .
Ex-Mayor Little, late of this city, but now of
Poland, Ohio, being called upon, made some ex
oellent remarks. He said when he left this city,
17 years ago, it was not a question wh%ther it
was best to carry on the cause, tint how
.best to
promote it.' We then labored in .tne ranks of
moral suasion,' with moat decided success. Then
we could fill any church in this city' to hear
about and co-operate in the cause, and if it can
not be done now it is our.own fault; he had seen
efforte to legislate men into morality in various
states, but his opinion was that moral suasion
was the agency most effective.
At this time the business committee came in
and the following resolutions were read:
Resolved, 1. That this convention, in accordance
with the sentiment of a large portion of the civ
ilized world, deolaree the manufacture and
traffic is intoxicating drink! fer,i beverage en
immorality injurious to the secular s andieligiOus
interests of.. the people, producingcrime, pau
perism and untold sorrows in the hearts of =A
tittideV ilelited‘to the users of such drinks.
Resolved, 2. That the existence of ,awe to legal 7
ize and encourage the ordinary sale and drinking
of intoxicating liquors,' is destructive of the
,great objects for which our government .was
established, being declared in the constitution of
• the U. S., to establish justice, ensure domestic
tranquility; prOMote the general welfare, eto."
Resolved, 8. That the law of Pennsylvania en
acted 1858, relative to the sale of liquors is in
subversion of these objects df government, prov
ing greatly injurious to the community a retro
greseion in the great temperance reform and
ought to be repealed. •
Resolved, 4: That it be recommended to all patriots
philanthropists, and obristiene of every age
and of both sexes to nee all moral -suasion in
every proper way and example, by pledges and
praetioe, to promote a more thorough, correct
sentiment in regard to the enormous evils remitt
ing from the use of intoxicating drinks.
[Resolved,' That we will not support. persons
for legislative, judicial or executive office who
are hostile* to the principles of the temperance
reformation or act inconsistently with them in
practice, whether they'are pretended friends or
avowed foes.
Resolved, That we do not recommend a distinct
political temperance party, but that at a.proper
time, all oandidates especially for legislative of
fice be interrogated as to their views in refer
ence tothe sale of liquors and that then men
vote in consistency with their principlee.]
Resolved, b. That a general Convention by dele
gation, be called from ,parts of Western
Pennsylvania, to meet in the city .of Pittsburgh
on the 4th Tuesday of May, and that on the next
day, there be held a mass meeting of the
multitude in some suitable place, to hear ad
dresses and take such other measures as will be
conducive of the interests of the great cause in
which we are engaged.
Resolved,
.6. That there be a committee appoint
ed to make arrangement s to carry out the des i gn of
the foregoing resolution, and cause to be pub
lished 'the time and place of meeting and the pro
veedings of this convention in all the public pa
pers friendly' , to the cause.
Resolved, 7. That the publishers of such papers
be respectfully requested to insert in their re
e'peetive papers the law of Pennsylvania (enact
ed by the last Legislature) for the information
of the people.
Resotved, 8. That we recommend the creation
of an'asylum for
. inebriates.
Oa motion 'of Dr. M'Candless the resolutions
were accepted, and, on' motion of Mr. Fleeson,
they were.taken up separately for adoption.
Wtn. M. Shinn, Esq., On eetionding,the motion
to adopt the first -resolution, made some very in
teresting, remarks; He said he was opposed to
rum because it *as rum; it was not because pois
on was mixed with it, it was because alcohol in
itself was a living devil, that we ought. tieschew
the whole thing. • . . „.
Rev. Mr. Pershing, Of East Libeity, spoke in
favor ef the'resOlution. He said it was some
times his feeling that it' would be better for the
manufacturer to put arsenic in his liquor enough
to kill at once rather than by slow degrees.
Come'other reniarks the first resolution
was unanimously adopted. •
The'second, third and fotirth resolutions were
ale° adopted with bgt little discussion. Here
Mr. Fleeson moved that the convention suspend
for a moment their action on the resolutions un
til a committee on Finance could be appointed.
Adopted, and Messrs. Magee, Campbell and
Wm:' M. Little were chOsen that committee.
The Convention then passed to the considera
tion of the bth resolution, when Mr. T. J. Big
ham tirose and said. that as he had other means
of reaching the public) than by speeches, he was
not inclined to pay a great deal here; but he did
hope this convention would not dodge sill:Ott*.
cal action aid leave this great matter to rest.ii
til May next' and die out. He thought• there
was evidence of cowardice in the way the corn
mittee,had acted; there was lack, of backbone,,
that they dare not come out and express them:-
selves fully: and squarely upon the present law
and upon what kind of an enactment if any was
desired.
A.W.
Mr. Fleeson, who had voted alone against the
adoption of the; third resoliotion, had rio voted
beoause_it did not go far ,Miongh, and he rose to,
offer , the following to show that he was not lack
ing in backbone. ; • •;• •
Resolvid, That nift' mo ,, nieittion is opposed to
all legislation intended.to promote the suppres
sion of , intoiicating drinks,- short of absolute
prohibition. •,
Dr. Baird moved as an, amendment that this
convention deolitres itself in favor of entire
.prohibition.
Dr. Clikothers said that be thought that right,
tont by no means: expedient at present..
Rev. Mr. Reilly then read the following, which
he proposed as a substitute for Flies'on's, and
which the litterltioospted

He had held meetings in Harrisburg on Fri
day and Saturday, when 183 signed the pledge;
the people are ready. He then gave a most in
teresting statement of the movement which be
had iniugurnted in ScOtiand. It was much of it
done through the aid of his wife. Here, too, he
hoped the• wives and the mothers were on the
alert ; if the mothers were right, if they would
do their duty, we need not ask what the navy
or the army were doing for the country. Mr.
St. Clair was listened to with rapt attention, and
frequently applauded. The convention then ad

''.'ale declared his sympathy with , man every
, *here. If the ministers of Jesus have been de
linquent, it is not the fault of religion: That '
'film a heart for this cause and will give iterin
thence strongly for iterprosperity. The evil we
labor to remove is of such enormity that it ohal
lebges all our • pbwers, but we have become so
familiar with its horrors that we „forget how
great they are: If any evil like that of intent
perance'were to come upon us suddenly, thine
would be one mighty uprising to put it down

how many plans of virtue defeated; how many

this from Man's inhumanity to Man ! The
speaker then passed to consider the influence of,

Pones FOR Tanzs.—Bones are always awn
ululating in villages and about country residen- f
cea-which might be , put to a better use 44%0,
encumber the streets, or to emit a ditiagreeablev
odor from under the fences. There is. nothing,,
like decaying lones fir all, sorts of fruit trees. •
They are perhaps best for pear trees, next for
apples, - andthen for quinces; but are good ,for
any kind of fruit . , ( unless it' be cranberries, which
seem to live and grew on little but'watee. The
tine' way would be, to , make the bones into ,'sup
erPliosPhilte'rof lime - by grinding, and then, add
ing half their weight of sulphuric acid, to heap-,
plied in small doses every yeAr.....But 'as there
are not bone mills everywhere, and as the mak=
ing of superphosphate In'ittitioce; which
hardly be recommended cultivators . to
learn, the next best thing to be done is to break
them up into inch pieces and mix them with,the
soil in which trees are transplanted. From half .
a peck to a peok , for , dwaif trees, and two to
three peeks for trees designed'for 'standards, is
enough. Theaction will.be'slow but very,last
ing, continuing th'rOugh"the fife Of an ordiriari
tree. — Bones - are' richly 'worth saving for this
purpose; and at the smallprice at which they can
be had in most country place's, they can be
bought to advantage. They render a tree vig
orous and healthy, and greatly improve its fruit.
It is not a bad plan to dig the soil about old
trees. . •
