[ will remember thee,—in that still hour When like a stream of beauty, from the west, Heaven's sweetest beam shed down a golden dower Of light upon the waters,—whose unrest .\nd moodiness might well be charmed away, By the pure loveliness of ihat soft ray ! 1 will remember thee,—when night hath thrown Its dreams around thc sleeper, and repose Hath calmed the worn and .lehing spirit down To brief oblivion of its waking woes; Then—when deep silence rcigneth over all. My lonely thoughts thy image shall recall. 1 will remember thee,—when morn hath hung fier banner on the hills,—and kindling dreams Of sunlight, iu warm diamond showers are flung Upon the surface ofthe bounding streams Which move in their exulting course along. Free as the murmurs of their own wild song. I will remember thee,—when summer's balmy sigh Breathes o'er the mountains, and the laughing earth Is zoned with roses—while deep melody Ilath in thc woods, with the wild flowers, its birth From joyous birds, who mid their green homes there Pour forth their music on the clear blue air. I will remember thee,—through many a scene Of pleasantness and solitude;—for thou Upon inv dark and troubled path hath heen A vision blest and cheering,—as the bow That spans the thunder-clouds : a thing of light, As early hope's first dreamings pure and bright. A Toucliingr Storj". The lollowiiig affecting story purports to have been given by a father to his son, as a warning de¬ rived irom his ou-ii bitter e.Kperience of grieving and resisting a mother's love and counsel: •' What agony wa.'? visible on my mother's face when she saw that all she said and suffered, failed to move me ! She rose up to go home, and I fol¬ lowed at a distance. She spoke no more to me till bhe reached her own door." " It is school time now,'' said she. " Go my son and let me once more beseech you to think upon what I have said." " I shan't go to school,'' said I. She looked astonished at my boldness, but re¬ plied firmly. ¦ Certainly you will go. Alfred, I command you." 'I will iiDl!" said 1, in a tone of defiance. •• One ol" two things you must do, Alfred—either go to school this moment, or I will lock you in your room, and keep you there till you are ready to promise implicit obedience to my wishes in fu¬ ture." " I dare you to Jo it," said 1, • you can't get me up stairs." '¦'¦ Alfr«d, choose now," said my mother, who laid her hand on my arm. She trembled violently and was deadly pale. •' If you touch me, I will kick you,'' said I in a terrible rage. God knows I knew not what I said. "Will you go, Alfred?"' ¦' No," 1 replied, but quailed beneath her eye. ¦Then loUow me,'' said she, as she grasped my arm firmly. I raised my foot—oh ! my son hear me !—I raised my foot and kicked her—my sainted mother. How my head reels, as the torrent of memory rushes over me! 1 kicked my mother— a feeble woman—my mother. She staggered back a few steps and leaned against the wall. She did not look at me. I saw her heart beat against her breast. " Oh ! Heavenly Father," she cried, •' forgive him, he knows not what he does." The gardener just then passed the door and see¬ ing my mother pale and ahnost unable to support herselt, he stopped ; she beckoned him in. " Take this boy up stairs and lock him in his own room," said she, and turned from me. Looking back as she was entering her room, she gave me such a look—it vvill forever follow me—it was a look of agony, mingled with the intensest love—it was the last unutterable pang of a heart that was broken. In a moment I found myself a prisoner in my own room. I thought for a moment I would fling myself from the open window and dash my brains out, but I felt afraid to die. 1 was not penitent.— At times my heart was subdued, but my stubborn pride rose in an instant, and bade me not yield.— The pale face ot my mother haunted me. 1 flung myself on the bed and fell asleep. Just at twilight I heard a footstep approach the door. It was my sister. '• What may I tell mother for you!'' she asked. " Nothing," I replied. " Oh, Alfred, for my sake, for all our sakes, say that you are sorry—let me tell mother that you are sorry. She longs to forgive you." I would not answer. I heard her footsteps slowly retreating, and again I flung myself on the bed to pass another wretched and fearlul night. Another iootstep, slower and feebler than my sister's disturbed me. A voice called me by name. It was my mother's. 1 cannot tell what influence, operating at that moment, made me speak averse to my feelings.— The gentle voice of my mother that thrilled thro" iTie, melted the ice from my obdurate heart, and I longed to throw myself on her neck, but I did not. But my words gave the lie io my heart, when I said I was not sorry. I heard her withdraw. I heard her groan, I longed to call her back, but I did not. 1 was awakened from my uneasy slumber, by hearing my name called loudly, and my sister stood by my bedside. •' Get up, Alfred. Oh, don't wait a minute. Get up and come with me. Mother is dying." I thought I was yet dreaming, I got up melan¬ choly and followed my sister. On the bed, pale and cold as marble, lay my mother. She had not undressed, ^he had thrown herself on the bed to rest; arising to go again to me, she was seized with a palpitation of the hearr, and borne senseless to her room. I cannot tell you my agony as 1 looked on her ; my remorse was tenfold more bitter trom the tho't ihe would never know it. I believed myself to be her murderer. I fell on the bed beside her. I could not weep. My heart burned in my bosom : my brain was ull on lire. My sister threw her arms around me and wept in silence. Suddenly we saw a slight motion of mother's hand—her eyes unclo¬ sed. She had recovered consciousness but not speech, .'¦¦he looked at me, and moved her lips. I could not understand her words,—" Mother, moth¬ er,"' I shrieked, '¦ say only that you can forgive me." She conid not say it with her lips, but her hand pressed mine. She suiiled upon me, and lilting her thin, while h.mds, she clasped my own within thern, and cast iior eyes upwards. She moved her lips in prayer, and thus she died. I remained still kneel, ing by that dead form, till my gentle sister remo¬ ved me. The.joy ol my youth had left me forever. Boy's who spurn a mother s control, who are ashamed to own that they are wrong, who think it manly to resist her authority, or defy her influence, beware! Lay not up for yourselves bitter memo¬ ries for your future years." jETA most extraordinary beer drinker has just died in the north of France. He drank ten quarts a day, from the age of IS to that of 60, and the average of his daily consumption, during the ol years of his existence, was at 'east four quarts, :-ivinethe enormous amoun* "^ S2,8G0 quarts, during his life time, ^he ' •-is quantity -Aould be over JGOf' inoker, and in seve pounds of tobacco, nvetrate 8,000 Oauger of Electioneering. The Picayune rejoices in the possession ofa live Yankee as a correspondent, who having wandered as far south as Louisiana peddling notions, has set¬ tled down somewhere in the Caddo country, or some other undiscovered region of the State, and there concluded to run for Congress. The follow¬ ing extract of a letter to the editor of the Picayunf, describing one of his electioneering tours, is a spe¬ cimen of the luck he had in this delightful business: '¦ Well, I put up with a first-rate, good natured feller that I met at a billiard table. 1 went in and was introduced to his wife, a fine fat woman, who looked as though she lived on laffin; her iace was so full of fun. After a while—after we'd talked about my gal, and about the garden, and about the weather, and so on—in came three or four children, laffin and skippin as merry as crickets. There warn't no candle lit, but I could see they were line looking fellovvs, and I started for my saddle bags, in which I had put a lot of sugar candy for the chil¬ dren, as I went along. "Come here,'" said I, "you little rogue, come along here, und tell me what your name is:" the oldest then come up to me, and says he: "My name is Peter Smith, sir." "And whafs your name, sir?" said I. "Bob Smith, sir." The next said his name was Bill Smith, and the fourth said his name was Tommy Smith. Well, I gave ,em sugar candy, and old Miss Smith was so tickled that she laughed all the time. Mr. Smith looked on, but didn't say much. "Why," says I, "Miss Smith," I wouldn't take a good deal for them four boys, if I had 'em, they're so beautiful and sprightly. 'No," says she, latfin, "I set a good deal of store by "em, but we spoil "em too much. '•Oh no," says I, "they're ra'al well behaved chil¬ dren, and by gracious, says I, pretending to be startled by a sudden idea of a striking resemblance 'tween them boys and their father, and I looked at Mr. Smith, "I never did see nothing equal to it," says I—your eyes, mouth, forehead, a perfect pic¬ ture of you, sir," says I, tappin' the oldest on the pate. I thought Miss Smith w-ould have died a laffin at that; her arms fell down by her side, and her head fell back, and she shook the hull house laftin. "Do you think so. Col. Jones''' says she, and she looked towards Mr. Smith, and I thought she'd go off in a fit. "i'es," says I, "I do really think so."' "Ha, ha, ha—hovv-w!'' says Mr. Smith, kinder half laffin, "you're too hard on me now, with your jokes." "I ain't jokin' at all says I, "they're handsum chil¬ dren, and they do look wonderfully like you." Just then a gal brought in a light, and I'll be darned if the little brats did'nt turn out to be mulat- toes, every one of 'em, and their hair was as curly as the blackest niggers. Mr. and Mrs. Smith never had any children, and they sort of petted them little niggers as play things. I never felt so streaked as I did when I see how things stood. If I hadn't kissed the little nasty things, I could a got over it: but kissing on 'em showed that I was in airnest, (though I was soft soapin' on 'em all the lime:) how to get out of the scrape I didn't know. Mrs. Smith laffed so hard when she see how confused I was, that she almost suffocated. A little while afterwards there was a whole family of relations arrived from the city, and turned the matter off: but next morning I could sec Mr. Smith did not like the remembrance of what 1 said, and I don't believe hell vote for me when the election comes on. I 'spect Miss Smith kept the old fellow under that joke for some time. — « » • » > Beauty fn Men. ur MRS. M. A. DENJT180X. " I can tell when a woman's face is beautiful," said a friend to us the other day, "but I don't know what you call a handsome man." We might have referred him to the popular ro¬ mances of the present day for a description of manly beauty, but having little sympathy for those perfect beings, expansive brows of snowy white¬ ness, blue black, or gray eyes, finely chiselled fea. tures, rich wavy curls, and all the minutia of fan¬ cied perfection, we simply said we believed there was no particular standard of beauty recognized among the ladies with reference to his sex, and we think that in so saying we are correct. " I do not like a pretty man With pretty lips and pretty walk, With hands that prettily sport a fan, And delicate lips that prettily talk." The frank, open countennnce, cheerful with the light of a sunshiny disposition; the thoughtful, pla¬ cid brow or low lips, firm when in thought, yet flexible and smiling in conversation, the goodness of a refined nature illuminating every lineament— give us these in preference to all your set, fine fa¬ ces. And even the irregular features of what are called decidedly plain men, we have seen glow with an expression absolutely beautiful as some all pervading theme of interest lighted up the face, so that the crooked nose, even the heavy shapeless forehead, and the dull eyes, have caught a reflec¬ tion of the inner loveliness, the beauty of the soul. Then, gentlemen, remember, it does not need the air and face of an Adonis to please and interest us ladies. Only let us read upon the countenance the stamp of a cultivated mind, or the quick light¬ ing up of the eye, as some generous impulse prompts to an act of kindness; let us behold you at once dignified and courteous, gentle and refined to all alike, even to the erring, delicate in your at¬ tentions (especially to us ladies,) unbending in your will onl}' when in the absolute right, gentlemanly in your address, and neat in person, and we all will (those whose opinion is of any value of course) pronounce you handsome without a dissenting voice. Remember that the qualities of the heart and actions of the life stamp the features with an in- effacable mark either with goodness or vileness, and cultivate those affections and habits which will write upon the tablets of your countenance that which no one reading can but love and admire. "^ ^ m »¦ . ' Atrocious Tlllaiuy! The trial of the individuals charged with various attrocities at Detriot and its neighborhood, was still in progress at our latest dates. The testimony embodies a train of facts of the most startling character, and proves that a band of wicked men united themselves together for the most iniquitous purposes. As a sample of the evidence we invite attention to the following: "On or about the 11th of September I had a conversation with Fitch, in which he said if they did not succeed in throwing off the trains during the State Fair at the Points, named West of Jack¬ son, Whitebridge, Dry Marsh, and at the high em¬ bankment east ot Francisville, they would burn the four depots at Detroit, Ann Arbor, Jackson and Niles. " He said he wanted to show the people of Mich- ican that the leeling against the road was not local. If they could succeed in killing from luo to 100 persons during the Fair it would bring the company to their terms—they would, if this did not do it, burn them. And he then proposed to give me or any body else §1000 for burning these four depots, or ?$-2.50 for either of them ; he said he thought I would be a good person to do it, as I had frequent business over the road." It will be seen from the foregoing that the par¬ ticulars of this transaction proposed to kill 150 persons for the purpose of bringing the railroad company to terms! This stated in a work of ro¬ mance would be denounced as absurd and prepos¬ terous in almost any age or country. Another witness testified that on the 20th of August last he, in connexion wilh several others, moved the track at Michigan Centre, and thus the train ran off. On another occasion two of the parties laid a stick 12 feet long, a foot wide, and seven or eight inches thick, across the track over a culvert, and the train was thus injured and detained. At another time a piece of iron was placed on the switch, with the object of throwing the train oft. Un seve^al occasions the cars containing passengers were stoned, and a witness was threatened with death if: he should expose these diabolical move ments. i We trust the guilty parties will meet with adequate'-, punishment. Such deliberate efforts to accomplish wholesale murder, are calculated to thrill thcjok .sloWith horror. . ^ust 5 Tlie Coad Wlieat. Our readers will remember the notice which was taken ol a variety of Wheat, which bears the name of the gentleman who had raised a considerable quantity last year from a smal! package obtained from the Patent Office—the extraordinary qualities awarded to this wheat, created considerable de¬ mand fbr it, and the seed was sold for §1 per bu., and as high as §10 offered for it. A small package was obtained from the Patent Ol^ce in IS-IG, by Geo. D. Coad, Esq , who presented it to his nephew, J. Edwin Coad, Esq., of Great Mills, St. Mary's Co., Md., who cultivated it in his garden in 1847—the product was a pint and a half —in 1848,2 bushels—in 1840, about 25 bushels were made, 20 of which were sown, and 5 other¬ wise disposed ol—in 1850, Mr. Coad reaped 300 bushels, 150 of which he sold or distributed gra¬ tuitously, and the other 150 bushels were sown, from which his present crop was reaped. Just be¬ fore haivest, the father of Mr. Coad left with us some of the heads of his wheat, (of which he had also abont 40 acres in cultivation,) and the ac¬ counts we had received of it, induced us to accept an invitation to visit him, to satisfy ourself ot the character of the wheat then growing on his own and on the farm of his son. We arrived there on the 15th of June, and found some parts of the field ready for harvesting; we passed through it in vari¬ ous directions, to obtain a fair sample ofthe whole field, which was brought up and exhibited at the meeting of the State Society on the 18th ult.— There is nothing positively known as to the origin of this wheat—as well as can be remembered by the Messrs. Coad, the package from the Patent Office was labelled, that it was from New York, where 52 bushels to the acre had been raised from it—another account, is, that it was received from Troy. The heads of the wheat are very compact; rather long, vvith 3 grains in a bar, sometimes 4 are found—the grains unusually large—it is a white bearded wheat, the average height of the field was fully 5^ feet—the straw is very bright, uncommonly large at the bottom, gradually ta¬ pering tothe head, where it is very small; this wheat ripens slowly, but is not a late wheat: the grain has improved each successive year since it was cultivated, showing that it is peculiarly suited to our soil and climate. Mr. Coad's soil is princi¬ pally a white oak, heretofore limed, and the field had from 100 to 200 lbs. of guano to the acre put on it last fall; most of the field was corn ground, the wheat sown after the corn was taken off last year, it was seeded in October, some as late as the 15th of November and cultivated the same as his other wheat, some of it drilled in, (IJ bushels to the acre,) and some broadcast at 1^ to 2 bushels to the acre, but no difference could be found in the field between that where 11 and the larger quantity was sown. Last year it escaped the rust, though several other varieties, viz: The China, the old Red Chaff and Etrurian, in its immediate vicinity, vvere much injured by it. Etrurian less than others. In walking through various portions of the field, we could discern but little difference in any part of it; last year a picked acre, accurately measured, pro¬ duced 35 bushels; the whole field averaged 25 to the acre, the season was far more favorable this ye.ir, and we can hardly be mistaken in saying, that the field will produce an average of forty bu. to the acre. Mr. Coad has about lOi) acres in this variety, aud his father, 40. We have never witnesssed so glorious a sight, and we doubt if such a field was ever seen in this country before; certainly not in Maryland, the heads contained on an average 75 grains, twice as large as the common grains, some of the heads which vvere counted, had upwards of 100 grains. We have shown the sam¬ ple we brought home with us, to gentlemen from the best wheat districts of our own, and the States of New York, Pennsylvania and 'Virginia, and with but a single exception, they all pronounced it su¬ perior to any other they had ever seen. Mr. Coad sold his surplus seed last year, as before remarked, fbr §4 per bushel, and has numerous orders on hand, some remaining over from last year. He intends sending all he has to sell to Messrs. Neale & Luckett, of this city, put up in two bushel bags, who will sell it at §4 per bushel.—Bah. American Farmer. TDE AMERICAN ART-UNION.

They certainly (says the Rich¬ mond Whig) seem to have formed a very accurate conception of the proper manner in which this in¬ nocent luxury should be enjoyed: " Of course you mus: be taller than the lady you intend to kiss; take her right hand in yours_ and draw her gently to you, pass your lelt arm over her right shoulder, diagonally down across her back, under her left arm, press her to your bosom, at the same time she will throw her head back, and you have nothing to do but to bend forward and press your lips to hers, and the thing is done; don't make a noise over it, as if you were firing off percussion caps, or trying the water cocks of a steam engine, nor pounce down on it like a hungry hawk upon an innocent dove, but gently fold the damsel in your arms, without deranging the economy of her tippet or ruffle, and by a sweet pressure upon her mouth, revel in the blissfulness o| your situation wiihout smacking your lips on it as you would over a roast turkey." Mkxican Claims on the U. States.—It ap¬ pears the Mexican Government is trumping up large claims against the United States, under the treaty of peace with that country. The subject is thus alluded to in a Washington letter to the New York Express: I have seen to-day a loietaste of the claims which the Government of Mexico is preparing against the Government of the United States, lor not ful¬ filling the terms of the treaty of San Luis Potosi. These claims are coming here in shoals, and those I saw to-day in the hands of single individuals were to the amount of 11,000. The gentleman who held them was a Mexican; and in his opinion the whole amount of new claims will exceed sixteen millions of dollars. They grow out of a violation of the article of the Treaty, by which the United States was pledged to protect the Mexicans on the frontiers, from Indian depredations and spoliations. They demand remu¬ neration now for houses burnt, cattle driven off, and a general waste of property they say to the amount of millions. The Mexican Minister has already called the attention ofour Government to these demands, and will push them home upon this Government with earnestness and determination. If our Government should be ultimately a great loser fronn these de¬ mands the wrong will fall upon Congress, which over and over again had its attention called by the President and Secretary of War to this most ob¬ jectionable feature in the Treaty. It was one, how¬ ever, which the Mexicans deemed essential to their safety, and without it they declared they would not ratify the treaty. I have just referred to the Treaty, and the Arti¬ cle upon this subject in that Treaty upon which reliance is placed fbr the recovery of losses by In¬ dian depredations. This provision reads in a man¬ ner which does not warrant the construction put upon it by the Mexican authorities, or those who, in Mexico are husbanding up these claims for the purpose of a future depletion of the Treasury— Says the Treaty, Article 1: '" It is solemnly agreed that all such incursions shall be forcibly restrained by the Government of the United States, whenever this may be necessary; and that whenever that cannot be prevented, they shall be punished by the said government, and sat¬ isfaction for the same shall be exacted ; all in the same way, and with equal diligence and energy, as if the same incursions were meditated or commit¬ ted within its own territory, against its own citi¬ zens."

TAKE PAR'llCULAR NimCE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, •,hai secret and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either business or socieiy.

Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and premature decay generally arises fri>m the destruct¬ ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to the healthful existence of man, and it is the young who are the most apt to become its Victims from an ignorance of ihe dangers to which ihcy subject themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis¬ led wilh respect to lhe cause or source of disease in Iheir sons and wards. Alas ! how oi:cn do they ascribe to other causes the wastiui; of the Irame, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indiiiesiion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres¬ sion of Spiriis or peculiar fits of .Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to both Body and Mind.

Love's Remembrance.
[ will remember thee,—in that still hour
When like a stream of beauty, from the west,
Heaven's sweetest beam shed down a golden dower Of light upon the waters,—whose unrest
.\nd moodiness might well be charmed away,
By the pure loveliness of ihat soft ray !
1 will remember thee,—when night hath thrown Its dreams around thc sleeper, and repose
Hath calmed the worn and .lehing spirit down To brief oblivion of its waking woes;
Then—when deep silence rcigneth over all.
My lonely thoughts thy image shall recall.
1 will remember thee,—when morn hath hung fier banner on the hills,—and kindling dreams
Of sunlight, iu warm diamond showers are flung Upon the surface ofthe bounding streams
Which move in their exulting course along.
Free as the murmurs of their own wild song.
I will remember thee,—when summer's balmy sigh Breathes o'er the mountains, and the laughing earth Is zoned with roses—while deep melody
Ilath in thc woods, with the wild flowers, its birth From joyous birds, who mid their green homes there Pour forth their music on the clear blue air.
I will remember thee,—through many a scene Of pleasantness and solitude;—for thou
Upon inv dark and troubled path hath heen A vision blest and cheering,—as the bow
That spans the thunder-clouds : a thing of light,
As early hope's first dreamings pure and bright.
A Toucliingr Storj".
The lollowiiig affecting story purports to have been given by a father to his son, as a warning de¬ rived irom his ou-ii bitter e.Kperience of grieving and resisting a mother's love and counsel:
•' What agony wa.'? visible on my mother's face when she saw that all she said and suffered, failed to move me ! She rose up to go home, and I fol¬ lowed at a distance. She spoke no more to me till bhe reached her own door."
" It is school time now,'' said she. " Go my son and let me once more beseech you to think upon what I have said."
" I shan't go to school,'' said I.
She looked astonished at my boldness, but re¬ plied firmly.
¦ Certainly you will go. Alfred, I command you."
'I will iiDl!" said 1, in a tone of defiance.
•• One ol" two things you must do, Alfred—either go to school this moment, or I will lock you in your room, and keep you there till you are ready to promise implicit obedience to my wishes in fu¬ ture."
" I dare you to Jo it," said 1, • you can't get me up stairs."
'¦'¦ Alfr«d, choose now," said my mother, who laid her hand on my arm. She trembled violently and was deadly pale.
•' If you touch me, I will kick you,'' said I in a terrible rage. God knows I knew not what I said.
"Will you go, Alfred?"'
¦' No," 1 replied, but quailed beneath her eye.
¦Then loUow me,'' said she, as she grasped my arm firmly. I raised my foot—oh ! my son hear me !—I raised my foot and kicked her—my sainted mother. How my head reels, as the torrent of memory rushes over me! 1 kicked my mother— a feeble woman—my mother. She staggered back a few steps and leaned against the wall. She did not look at me. I saw her heart beat against her breast.
" Oh ! Heavenly Father," she cried, •' forgive him, he knows not what he does."
The gardener just then passed the door and see¬ ing my mother pale and ahnost unable to support herselt, he stopped ; she beckoned him in. " Take this boy up stairs and lock him in his own room," said she, and turned from me. Looking back as she was entering her room, she gave me such a look—it vvill forever follow me—it was a look of agony, mingled with the intensest love—it was the last unutterable pang of a heart that was broken.
In a moment I found myself a prisoner in my own room. I thought for a moment I would fling myself from the open window and dash my brains out, but I felt afraid to die. 1 was not penitent.— At times my heart was subdued, but my stubborn pride rose in an instant, and bade me not yield.— The pale face ot my mother haunted me. 1 flung myself on the bed and fell asleep.
Just at twilight I heard a footstep approach the door. It was my sister.
'• What may I tell mother for you!'' she asked.
" Nothing," I replied.
" Oh, Alfred, for my sake, for all our sakes, say that you are sorry—let me tell mother that you are sorry. She longs to forgive you."
I would not answer. I heard her footsteps slowly retreating, and again I flung myself on the bed to pass another wretched and fearlul night.
Another iootstep, slower and feebler than my sister's disturbed me. A voice called me by name. It was my mother's.
1 cannot tell what influence, operating at that moment, made me speak averse to my feelings.— The gentle voice of my mother that thrilled thro" iTie, melted the ice from my obdurate heart, and I longed to throw myself on her neck, but I did not. But my words gave the lie io my heart, when I said I was not sorry. I heard her withdraw. I heard her groan, I longed to call her back, but I did not.
1 was awakened from my uneasy slumber, by hearing my name called loudly, and my sister stood by my bedside.
•' Get up, Alfred. Oh, don't wait a minute. Get up and come with me. Mother is dying."
I thought I was yet dreaming, I got up melan¬ choly and followed my sister. On the bed, pale and cold as marble, lay my mother. She had not undressed, ^he had thrown herself on the bed to rest; arising to go again to me, she was seized with a palpitation of the hearr, and borne senseless to
her room.
I cannot tell you my agony as 1 looked on her ; my remorse was tenfold more bitter trom the tho't ihe would never know it. I believed myself to be her murderer. I fell on the bed beside her. I could not weep. My heart burned in my bosom : my brain was ull on lire. My sister threw her arms around me and wept in silence. Suddenly we saw a slight motion of mother's hand—her eyes unclo¬ sed. She had recovered consciousness but not speech, .'¦¦he looked at me, and moved her lips. I could not understand her words,—" Mother, moth¬ er,"' I shrieked, '¦ say only that you can forgive me." She conid not say it with her lips, but her hand pressed mine. She suiiled upon me, and lilting her thin, while h.mds, she clasped my own within thern, and cast iior eyes upwards. She moved her lips in prayer, and thus she died. I remained still kneel, ing by that dead form, till my gentle sister remo¬ ved me. The.joy ol my youth had left me forever.
Boy's who spurn a mother s control, who are ashamed to own that they are wrong, who think it manly to resist her authority, or defy her influence, beware! Lay not up for yourselves bitter memo¬ ries for your future years."

Oauger of Electioneering.
The Picayune rejoices in the possession ofa live Yankee as a correspondent, who having wandered as far south as Louisiana peddling notions, has set¬ tled down somewhere in the Caddo country, or some other undiscovered region of the State, and there concluded to run for Congress. The follow¬ ing extract of a letter to the editor of the Picayunf, describing one of his electioneering tours, is a spe¬ cimen of the luck he had in this delightful business: '¦ Well, I put up with a first-rate, good natured feller that I met at a billiard table. 1 went in and was introduced to his wife, a fine fat woman, who looked as though she lived on laffin; her iace was so full of fun. After a while—after we'd talked about my gal, and about the garden, and about the weather, and so on—in came three or four children, laffin and skippin as merry as crickets. There warn't no candle lit, but I could see they were line looking fellovvs, and I started for my saddle bags, in which I had put a lot of sugar candy for the chil¬ dren, as I went along. "Come here,'" said I, "you little rogue, come along here, und tell me what your name is:" the oldest then come up to me, and says he:
"My name is Peter Smith, sir." "And whafs your name, sir?" said I. "Bob Smith, sir."
The next said his name was Bill Smith, and the fourth said his name was Tommy Smith. Well, I gave ,em sugar candy, and old Miss Smith was so tickled that she laughed all the time. Mr. Smith looked on, but didn't say much. "Why," says I, "Miss Smith," I wouldn't take a good deal for them four boys, if I had 'em, they're so beautiful and sprightly.
'No," says she, latfin, "I set a good deal of store by "em, but we spoil "em too much.
'•Oh no," says I, "they're ra'al well behaved chil¬ dren, and by gracious, says I, pretending to be startled by a sudden idea of a striking resemblance 'tween them boys and their father, and I looked at Mr. Smith, "I never did see nothing equal to it," says I—your eyes, mouth, forehead, a perfect pic¬ ture of you, sir," says I, tappin' the oldest on the pate. I thought Miss Smith w-ould have died a laffin at that; her arms fell down by her side, and her head fell back, and she shook the hull house laftin.
"Do you think so. Col. Jones''' says she, and she looked towards Mr. Smith, and I thought she'd go off in a fit.
"i'es," says I, "I do really think so."' "Ha, ha, ha—hovv-w!'' says Mr. Smith, kinder half laffin, "you're too hard on me now, with your jokes."
"I ain't jokin' at all says I, "they're handsum chil¬ dren, and they do look wonderfully like you."
Just then a gal brought in a light, and I'll be darned if the little brats did'nt turn out to be mulat- toes, every one of 'em, and their hair was as curly as the blackest niggers. Mr. and Mrs. Smith never had any children, and they sort of petted them little niggers as play things. I never felt so streaked as I did when I see how things stood. If I hadn't kissed the little nasty things, I could a got over it: but kissing on 'em showed that I was in airnest, (though I was soft soapin' on 'em all the lime:) how to get out of the scrape I didn't know. Mrs. Smith laffed so hard when she see how confused I was, that she almost suffocated. A little while afterwards there was a whole family of relations arrived from the city, and turned the matter off: but next morning I could sec Mr. Smith did not like the remembrance of what 1 said, and I don't believe hell vote for me when the election comes on. I 'spect Miss Smith kept the old fellow under that joke for some time.

Beauty fn Men.
ur MRS. M. A. DENJT180X.
" I can tell when a woman's face is beautiful," said a friend to us the other day, "but I don't know what you call a handsome man."
We might have referred him to the popular ro¬ mances of the present day for a description of manly beauty, but having little sympathy for those perfect beings, expansive brows of snowy white¬ ness, blue black, or gray eyes, finely chiselled fea. tures, rich wavy curls, and all the minutia of fan¬ cied perfection, we simply said we believed there was no particular standard of beauty recognized among the ladies with reference to his sex, and we think that in so saying we are correct. " I do not like a pretty man With pretty lips and pretty walk, With hands that prettily sport a fan, And delicate lips that prettily talk." The frank, open countennnce, cheerful with the light of a sunshiny disposition; the thoughtful, pla¬ cid brow or low lips, firm when in thought, yet flexible and smiling in conversation, the goodness of a refined nature illuminating every lineament— give us these in preference to all your set, fine fa¬ ces. And even the irregular features of what are called decidedly plain men, we have seen glow with an expression absolutely beautiful as some all pervading theme of interest lighted up the face, so that the crooked nose, even the heavy shapeless forehead, and the dull eyes, have caught a reflec¬ tion of the inner loveliness, the beauty of the soul. Then, gentlemen, remember, it does not need the air and face of an Adonis to please and interest us ladies. Only let us read upon the countenance the stamp of a cultivated mind, or the quick light¬ ing up of the eye, as some generous impulse prompts to an act of kindness; let us behold you at once dignified and courteous, gentle and refined to all alike, even to the erring, delicate in your at¬ tentions (especially to us ladies,) unbending in your will onl}' when in the absolute right, gentlemanly in your address, and neat in person, and we all will (those whose opinion is of any value of course) pronounce you handsome without a dissenting voice.
Remember that the qualities of the heart and actions of the life stamp the features with an in- effacable mark either with goodness or vileness, and cultivate those affections and habits which will write upon the tablets of your countenance that which no one reading can but love and admire.

Atrocious Tlllaiuy!
The trial of the individuals charged with various attrocities at Detriot and its neighborhood, was still in progress at our latest dates. The testimony embodies a train of facts of the most startling character, and proves that a band of wicked men united themselves together for the most iniquitous purposes. As a sample of the evidence we invite attention to the following:
"On or about the 11th of September I had a conversation with Fitch, in which he said if they did not succeed in throwing off the trains during the State Fair at the Points, named West of Jack¬ son, Whitebridge, Dry Marsh, and at the high em¬ bankment east ot Francisville, they would burn the four depots at Detroit, Ann Arbor, Jackson and Niles.
" He said he wanted to show the people of Mich- ican that the leeling against the road was not local. If they could succeed in killing from luo to 100 persons during the Fair it would bring the company to their terms—they would, if this did not do it, burn them. And he then proposed to give me or any body else §1000 for burning these four depots, or ?$-2.50 for either of them ; he said he thought I would be a good person to do it, as I had frequent business over the road."
It will be seen from the foregoing that the par¬ ticulars of this transaction proposed to kill 150 persons for the purpose of bringing the railroad company to terms! This stated in a work of ro¬ mance would be denounced as absurd and prepos¬ terous in almost any age or country. Another witness testified that on the 20th of August last he, in connexion wilh several others, moved the track at Michigan Centre, and thus the train ran off. On another occasion two of the parties laid a stick 12 feet long, a foot wide, and seven or eight inches thick, across the track over a culvert, and the train was thus injured and detained. At another time a piece of iron was placed on the switch, with the object of throwing the train oft. Un seve^al occasions the cars containing passengers were stoned, and a witness was threatened with death if: he should expose these diabolical move ments. i We trust the guilty parties will meet with adequate'-, punishment. Such deliberate efforts to accomplish wholesale murder, are calculated to thrill thcjok .sloWith horror. . ^ust 5
Tlie Coad Wlieat.
Our readers will remember the notice which was taken ol a variety of Wheat, which bears the name of the gentleman who had raised a considerable quantity last year from a smal! package obtained from the Patent Office—the extraordinary qualities awarded to this wheat, created considerable de¬ mand fbr it, and the seed was sold for §1 per bu., and as high as §10 offered for it.
A small package was obtained from the Patent Ol^ce in IS-IG, by Geo. D. Coad, Esq , who presented it to his nephew, J. Edwin Coad, Esq., of Great Mills, St. Mary's Co., Md., who cultivated it in his garden in 1847—the product was a pint and a half —in 1848,2 bushels—in 1840, about 25 bushels were made, 20 of which were sown, and 5 other¬ wise disposed ol—in 1850, Mr. Coad reaped 300 bushels, 150 of which he sold or distributed gra¬ tuitously, and the other 150 bushels were sown, from which his present crop was reaped. Just be¬ fore haivest, the father of Mr. Coad left with us some of the heads of his wheat, (of which he had also abont 40 acres in cultivation,) and the ac¬ counts we had received of it, induced us to accept an invitation to visit him, to satisfy ourself ot the character of the wheat then growing on his own and on the farm of his son. We arrived there on the 15th of June, and found some parts of the field ready for harvesting; we passed through it in vari¬ ous directions, to obtain a fair sample ofthe whole field, which was brought up and exhibited at the meeting of the State Society on the 18th ult.— There is nothing positively known as to the origin of this wheat—as well as can be remembered by the Messrs. Coad, the package from the Patent Office was labelled, that it was from New York, where 52 bushels to the acre had been raised from it—another account, is, that it was received from Troy. The heads of the wheat are very compact; rather long, vvith 3 grains in a bar, sometimes 4 are found—the grains unusually large—it is a white bearded wheat, the average height of the field was fully 5^ feet—the straw is very bright, uncommonly large at the bottom, gradually ta¬ pering tothe head, where it is very small; this wheat ripens slowly, but is not a late wheat: the grain has improved each successive year since it was cultivated, showing that it is peculiarly suited to our soil and climate. Mr. Coad's soil is princi¬ pally a white oak, heretofore limed, and the field had from 100 to 200 lbs. of guano to the acre put on it last fall; most of the field was corn ground, the wheat sown after the corn was taken off last year, it was seeded in October, some as late as the 15th of November and cultivated the same as his other wheat, some of it drilled in, (IJ bushels to the acre,) and some broadcast at 1^ to 2 bushels to the acre, but no difference could be found in the field between that where 11 and the larger quantity was sown. Last year it escaped the rust, though several other varieties, viz: The China, the old Red Chaff and Etrurian, in its immediate vicinity, vvere much injured by it. Etrurian less than others. In walking through various portions of the field, we could discern but little difference in any part of it; last year a picked acre, accurately measured, pro¬ duced 35 bushels; the whole field averaged 25 to the acre, the season was far more favorable this ye.ir, and we can hardly be mistaken in saying, that the field will produce an average of forty bu. to the acre. Mr. Coad has about lOi) acres in this variety, aud his father, 40. We have never witnesssed so glorious a sight, and we doubt if such a field was ever seen in this country before; certainly not in Maryland, the heads contained on an average 75 grains, twice as large as the common grains, some of the heads which vvere counted, had upwards of 100 grains. We have shown the sam¬ ple we brought home with us, to gentlemen from the best wheat districts of our own, and the States of New York, Pennsylvania and 'Virginia, and with but a single exception, they all pronounced it su¬ perior to any other they had ever seen. Mr. Coad sold his surplus seed last year, as before remarked, fbr §4 per bushel, and has numerous orders on hand, some remaining over from last year. He intends sending all he has to sell to Messrs. Neale & Luckett, of this city, put up in two bushel bags, who will sell it at §4 per bushel.—Bah. American Farmer.

by the middle-aged married gentlemen, when they assume the privilege of kissing their young and pretty cousins. They certainly (says the Rich¬ mond Whig) seem to have formed a very accurate conception of the proper manner in which this in¬ nocent luxury should be enjoyed:
" Of course you mus: be taller than the lady you intend to kiss; take her right hand in yours_ and draw her gently to you, pass your lelt arm over her right shoulder, diagonally down across her back, under her left arm, press her to your bosom, at the same time she will throw her head back, and you have nothing to do but to bend forward and press your lips to hers, and the thing is done; don't make a noise over it, as if you were firing off percussion caps, or trying the water cocks of a steam engine, nor pounce down on it like a hungry hawk upon an innocent dove, but gently fold the damsel in your arms, without deranging the economy of her tippet or ruffle, and by a sweet pressure upon her mouth, revel in the blissfulness o| your situation wiihout smacking your lips on it as you would over a roast turkey."
Mkxican Claims on the U. States.—It ap¬ pears the Mexican Government is trumping up large claims against the United States, under the treaty of peace with that country. The subject is thus alluded to in a Washington letter to the New York Express:
I have seen to-day a loietaste of the claims which the Government of Mexico is preparing against the Government of the United States, lor not ful¬ filling the terms of the treaty of San Luis Potosi. These claims are coming here in shoals, and those I saw to-day in the hands of single individuals were to the amount of 11,000. The gentleman who held them was a Mexican; and in his opinion the whole amount of new claims will exceed sixteen millions of dollars.
They grow out of a violation of the article of the Treaty, by which the United States was pledged to protect the Mexicans on the frontiers, from Indian depredations and spoliations. They demand remu¬ neration now for houses burnt, cattle driven off, and a general waste of property they say to the amount of millions.
The Mexican Minister has already called the attention ofour Government to these demands, and will push them home upon this Government with earnestness and determination. If our Government should be ultimately a great loser fronn these de¬ mands the wrong will fall upon Congress, which over and over again had its attention called by the President and Secretary of War to this most ob¬ jectionable feature in the Treaty. It was one, how¬ ever, which the Mexicans deemed essential to their safety, and without it they declared they would not ratify the treaty.
I have just referred to the Treaty, and the Arti¬ cle upon this subject in that Treaty upon which reliance is placed fbr the recovery of losses by In¬ dian depredations. This provision reads in a man¬ ner which does not warrant the construction put upon it by the Mexican authorities, or those who, in Mexico are husbanding up these claims for the purpose of a future depletion of the Treasury— Says the Treaty, Article 1:
'" It is solemnly agreed that all such incursions shall be forcibly restrained by the Government of the United States, whenever this may be necessary; and that whenever that cannot be prevented, they shall be punished by the said government, and sat¬ isfaction for the same shall be exacted ; all in the same way, and with equal diligence and energy, as if the same incursions were meditated or commit¬ ted within its own territory, against its own citi¬ zens."

DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon- don. Graduate from one of the most eminent Col¬ leges of tho United States and the greater parr of whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of Lon¬ don, Paris, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has aflect¬ ed some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known. Many troubled wilh ringing in the ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, liciug alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with frequent blushing, attended, someiimes, with de¬ rangement of mind, were cured immediaiely. TAKE PAR'llCULAR NimCE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured themselves by private and improper indulgencies, •,hai secret and solitary habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting them for either business or socieiy.
These are some of the sad and melancholy ef¬ fects produced by early habits of youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs,Painsin the heud. Dimness of .Sight, Loss of Muscular Power, Pal- piiaiion of ihe Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervotis Irrita¬ bility, Derangement of the Digesiive Funciions, General Debility, Symptoms of Consumpiion, &c.
.Mentally.—'lhe fearlul effects on the mind are much to be dreaded : Loss of Memory, Confusion of jdeas, Depression of Spiriis, Evil of Forebo¬ ding, Aversion of Society, Self Disirusi, Love of Solitude, Timidiiy, &c., are some ofthe evils pro¬ duced-
NERVOUS DEBILITY.
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and premature decay generally arises fri>m the destruct¬ ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to the healthful existence of man, and it is the young who are the most apt to become its Victims from an ignorance of ihe dangers to which ihcy subject themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis¬ led wilh respect to lhe cause or source of disease in Iheir sons and wards. Alas ! how oi:cn do they ascribe to other causes the wastiui; of the Irame, Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indiiiesiion, Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious Mental effects, such as loss of Memory, Depres¬ sion of Spiriis or peculiar fits of .Melancholy, when the truth is they have been caused by indulging Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to both Body and Mind. Thus nre swept from e.f- isience ihcusands who might have been of use to iheir country, a pleasure 10 their friends, an orna¬ ment to societv.
WEAKNESS OF THE ORGANS immediately cured and full vigor rcsioreil.
Oh, how happy have hundreds of misguided youths been made, who have been suddenly resto¬ red 10 health from the devastations of those terrific maladies which result from indiscreiion. Such
