Who left ante his child . .
No gold nor lands, hnt richer far—*
A birth-right undefiled.
And 1 am pfond to own my sire,

For heaven hath placed upon his brow
The stamp of its nobility.
Not for thy lands, nor yet indeed,
For all thy wide domain,

Their lowly mark defied.

The Mother’s Responsibilities.
She is responsible for the nursing and rearing
of her progeny, for their physical constitution
and growth, their exercise and proper susten
ance iii baily life. A child left to grow up de
formed or meagre, is an object of maternal neg
ligence. She is responsible for a child’s habits,
including cleanliness, order, conversation, eat
ing, sleeping, and general propriety and beha
vior. A child deficient or untaught in these
particulars, will prove a living monument of
maternal disregard, because, generally speaking,
a mother can, if she will, greatly control chil
dren in these matters.
She is responsible for their deportment She
can make them modest or ingenuous or deceit
ful, mean or manly, clownish or polite. The
germ of all these things is in childhood, and a
mother can repress or bring them’ forth. . .
She is responsible for the |>riiici|>lc9 which
her children entertain .in early life. For her it
is to say whether those who go forth from her
fireside shall he Imbued with, sentiments of vir
tue, truth, honor, honesty, temperance, industry,
benevolence, and morality, or those of a con
trary character—vice, drunkenness, idleness;*^
Thfesfe will be found io he of ffie most natural
growth, but on her is devolved the daily, hourly
task of weeding her little garden, of eradicating
those odious productions, and plantjng the hu
man heart ivith the lily, the rose, and the amar
anth, that fadeless flower, emblem of truth.
Too lilany Husbands.
Last* winter, says the St. Louis Union of the 30th
nit, a married man who had previously lived in
this city, left hii.wife and went to New Orleans.—
As the husband remained from home so long* and
neglected to inform his wife that lie was still among
the living, she naturally concluded that she was a
widow, aod so embraced an offering of marriage
made her by a mac who luta since opened a store
on Caroodelet avenue. On Monday the n r «t nus-
band rturned from New Orleans, walked «ito his
rival’s store, and took possesion of store and wife
too. The last married husband, cal led on officer
Berges to arrest the intruder, hut as the policeman
was about to perfrrm tlie duty assigned, the doa
ble wife pointed to the last married husband and or
dered his arrest. Not knowing how to proceed in
the matter, the officer referred the parties to a jus

A Singular Case of Cholera—A Droll Oc

The Bufliilo Express of the 22d ulL, relates the
(blowing:
-YVe have just heard of a gentleman who was
taken ill with the colic, and brushing was iesoru-d
to so ar to keep the blood in circulation, but the dis
ease appeared to those in attendance to develope it
self in tlie worst forms of blue Asiatic cholera.—
The physicians came and examined the patient with
surprise, when upon inquiry it was discovered that
the boot brurh had been used, the traces of the
blackiDg being all over the body.”
Only think of the terror of both the patient and
the miniatranta of the brash at seeing the unearthly
change 'n the color of the skiu. The more they
robbed the deeper became the dye. It was enough
to scare the whole neighborhood.

Trie Position, of the Democratic Party in
relation to the Proscription.
- Since the ruthless arid- infamous system 6f
proscription Of democrats which the present ir
responsible cpbal bolding the reins of govern
ment in the name of General Taylor have adopt-
ea, and now carry on, in violation of ail bis and
their most solemn pledges and professions pre
vious to hts election, the Union afid the demo
cratic press generally have denounced it in touch
terms o f indignation *as conduct ed dishonest
and dishonorable, and those who were guilty of
it, ritilily merit And this expression of honest
indignation, occasioned mainly by the Shame
less and ‘brazen violation of all the promises
which tlie leaders of tho whig party made in
order to attain power, and the infamous princi
ple on which they justify .the removal of demo
cratic office-holders, has been construed by^iie
press In Ihfe service of the administration into
lamentation and whining On the part of the
democracy for the loss of office. Having them-
Selves no higher object in view than the posses
sion of. the pfliccs and the enjoyment of the
spoils, ana naturally’supposing that others cam
not act from liighdr and more reputable ’motives,
we are odt surprised that the whig press'should
fall iuto the errbr. itiat the denunciations of the
democratic press proceed frO’in no other dr more
respectable 1 source than regrets and-sorow for
the loss of office. In this, however, they are
grossly mistaken.
As we remarked on another occasion, tlie
democratic press does not object to the removal
of its friends from office, if it is put up6n tho
right ground. If democrats are removed be
cause they are such, and whigs appointed bo-
caused th*y are whigs, the democratic party
will not complain. As a party, we do not deny
the general policy of placing the principal offi
ces of trust and confidence in the hands of the
friends of the administration in power for the
time being; nor should we complain of any
administration for adopting and pursuing the
same system of policy, if it would put it upon
that high and honorable ground.
But the party in power seem to be governed
hy no such high-minded and magnanimous
motives. They are not even judicious and dis
creet in defending the policy which, we suppose,
they have persuaded themselves necessity com
pels them to pursue. Coming info power pled
ged against proscription in the mdst solemn
•form—pledged liefore the election by the re
peated professions ami promises of their Presi
dent, iu numerous letters written before the
election, and in his inaugural address, when he
entered upon the duties of his office—they have
been compelled to invent » falsehood, and rely
upon paltry quibbles and disgraceful prevarica
tion to justify their conduct before the world,
and to satisfy the conscience of the man in
whoso name all this discreditable work is done.
They seem conscious that in every removal
which they make, they write a lie upon the
character of their President, which is thus to go
down to posterity blackened and disgraced.—
Hence they arc obliged to assume, in justifica
tion of such disreputable conduct, that every
democrat whom they remove is either dishonest,
incapable, or unfaithful; thereby brauding a
whole party composing a majority of the people,
as well as the persons removed, with disgrace
and infamy. It U of such conduct aS this that
the democratic press complains, and the perpe
trators of which it Indignantly denounces. And
it is suph conduct, and its authors, that they are
determined to hold tip to the Scorn and ihe ab
horrence of the American jieople.
Nor do we intend that the whig party and its
leaders shall escape this accountability to the
people, iiy raising tne hue and ciy that the
democratic press coinplain on account of inti
loss of office by its friends. It dties not com
plain, nor will it, on that account, however
much it may regret the distress which it may
occasion to bumble office holders who have
families dependent upon their salaries.
Now’, if the whig press will come forward
and honorably acknowledge that General Tay
lor has violated all the* pledges and professions
upon the subject of proscription which be made
previous to his election, and that he has totally
disregarded the reaffirmation of those pledges
in his inaugural address; if they will acknowl
edge that the leaders of the whig party have
been .guilty of the same breach of faith with the
people; if they will.acknowledge that demo
crats are removed because they are democrats,
and not because they have been guilty of either
official or moral delinquency; if they will make
these candid ami honorable confessions, which
are in strict conformity wjtli the truth, we' will
pledge ourselves that they will hear no more
from the democractic press upon the subject of
proscription per se. We will only hold their
President and their party accountable to the
people for the more grave political and moral
offence which they have committed, viz; obtain
ing power by false professions, and violating
the Jailh which they pledged to the pedplc*

Golden Thoughts.
I never yet found pride in a liable nature, uor
humility in an unworthy mind. Of all treaa, I
observe that God has chosen the vine—a low
plant that creeps upon the helpful wall; of ail
beasts, the soft and patient lamb; of all fowls,
the mild and guileless dove. When God ap.
peared to Moses it was not in the lofty cedar,
nor the spreading palm, but a hush, an humble,
slender, abject bush—as if he would by these
selections check the conceited arrogance of men.
Nothing produecth love like humility; nothing
hate, like pride.
Aa the silk-worm, when she weaves her curl
out work, hides, herself under the silk, and is
not seen; so when we hare done anything
praiseworthy, we must hide ourselves under the
veil of humility, and transfer the glory ot all we
have done to God.

and perhaps become a victim to some habit or
rice; to which he' is now o’ stra'ngbn Am I
right t Can yon give me any advice upon the
subject?”
. In our judgment, our correspondent is per
fectly right. If his son, in addition to: his am
bition, had manifested extraordinary talents, it
fenuld have lieen the duty of the' father to af
ford him a full opportunity for their full devel
opment and cultivation. But,- inasmuch us his
intellectual faculties nre hut ordinary, he should
not be tenipted beyond his proper sphere, or
induced by a fatal vanity, to venture into an
arena, for the fearful struggles of which he is
not suited. Tradesin this country nre too much
neglected. It is another mistake in parents to
suppose that a boy, in becoming a mechanic,
unfits himself for some higher; or perhaps we
should say, intellectual pursuits. This is not
Ihe case. Talent, like water, will find its level.
Some of the most distinguished men of the coun
try—statesmen, philosophers, philanthropists—
started as humble mechanics, artisans, trades
men or burners. This can readily be ascertain
ed on turning to tlie early-histories of many of
the most eminent in our. land.
What a boy most requires is. first, a proper
moral basis—second, habits of industrv. Give
him these, with a fair education, and liis char
acter will develop itself whether he be a ‘mill
boy' in Virginia, or a ‘wagoner’ in Ohio; wheth
er .born in one extremity of the Union, or the
other. Our men of enterprise, nre; in nine cas*
es out of ten, the children of poverty—compell
ed by the force of cfrcuinstanceS*to depend up
on their own resources, and to struggle against
all the anxieties, difficulties, and perils which
beset the upward path of fame. ‘The boy’ it
should lie remembered, ‘is father to the man’ in
more senses than one—and therefore it is, that
early training, proper habits in youth; an active
buoyant, determieed spirit, are all iui[>ortanL
It is said of the late, sage of Quincy, that his
last words to his son were: “a stout heart, a
clear conscience, and never despair.” This
doctrine covers the whole ground. Ami yet
parents are apt to malto fearful mistakes with
regard t.i proper pursuits for their children.—
The careful and thoughtful selection of a calling
or profession, is one of the most responsible du-
jiesoflife. YVe thus at once direct in sonic
sense, the future existence of beings over whom
we. have the greatest control and who natural
ly look up to us with respect apd confidence.
How careful should we be. not to conimit a
mistake! Not to sacrifice a son’s happiness up
on the altar of false pride! YVho cannot point
out intelligent citizens in this community, who
have tangh their sons to despise labor—to re
gard honest industry as a reproach ! -Alas!
what a false—what a criminal error—an error
that may involve unhappiness for years; pov
erty, dissipation, missery and all their fearful

Habits of industry and regular occupation
are all important. Our children should be af
forded an opportunity of acquiring some posi
tive and available means of existence and in
dependence. The boy should not only be con
sulted, but the man—the future prosperity as
well as the present comfort Tlie great object
of the parent should lie to furnish his child with
the means—the facilities of support, on arriving
at the age of manhood. He should, in the first
place, review his own position in life—look nt
the probabilities eight or ten years hence, and
ascertain, if possible, the rapacity of the youth,
if nnable to give him a start in some cominer-
trial occupation, lie should strive to choose the
employment in which the youth might struggle
for himself—something suited to his energy and
capacity, and not likely to be overthrown hy
dro ordinary vicissitudes of trade. In brief, he
should in the first place cultivate bis mind and
bis heart, induce habits of frugality, temperance
and industry, aiid having accomplished these
point3, he should select u post in which he
might be able to assist him on the arrival of that
sou at the age of manhood.
These are but common sense views, and are
applicable to almost every matter of business.
Neverthloss, how sadly are they neglected in
the most important affairs of life—in the choice
of an occupation for a means of support and
livelihood. Only a few days since, the case of
a iiiosu,excellent young man was pointed out
to us, who throe years liefore bad graduated as
a physician. His ‘nther was in a very humble
way of business, and had found it extremely
difficult to obtain the means of medical educa
tion for his son. Bat he was ambitious, fanci
ed that his boy possessed extraordinary talents,
and was suited to grace any station. His tal
ents were and aro good, and be graduated with
decided credit But there the matter ended.
He exercised all the forbea rance at his command
for nearly a year, and found that if he depended
upon patients in his profession, he must starve.
YVhnt could not hear a condition of further de
pendence upon his father, had not the energy
to pusl; his way as a physician, without some
pecuniary assistance for a few years; anil he
finally, and as a last recort, attempted and suc
ceeded in learning another business—one, it is
true, not of go high an intelledtaal and profes-

Among the recent underground change*
which have taken place besides the one wohat*
noted above, a most extraordinary novelty-had
presented itself in the neighborhood of tho Sana
ta Fo. From a cavern there, issued a body ofi
water, which fell into another some hundred
yards distant; the velocity of the stream : was
so great that an enterpising individual ventured
to construct a mill upon the premses,. He bad
scarcely completed it, and. commenced opera*
tions, when the water ceased running entirely I
but lo! the next day found a current of unpar-T
alleled velocity rushing from the cave into whictc
it formerly had emptied and into that front;
whence it originally came. YVo are unapprized,

earth, wjll never be written. Its elements 'Of .,
beauty and sublimity are. subjects of fecliugp, -

to strains of burning eloqunco upoa this theme, -
and still we will feel that language mars th$r,
beauty that lies pictured on the retina of W.

justice to a theme so intimately associated with
all holy thoughts of nature’s great Architect
