JL suited to the approaching season, comprising all the
popular and approved Annuals, which will, lie is confident,
be found superior in design and execution to those of any
previous year; also, an extensive assortment ol illustrated
works of a less ephemeral nature, equally well suited to the
wanisof the “guy and gallant.” and pleasing to the fair and
refined. Nor ate the tyajits o/’*-ilie tnan of elegant iosure"
overlooked; Ac will find on the table, the -‘Table Tail” of
the scholar and the critic, aud “Bubbles from the Brunuen,"
as “sparkling and brglil*’ as those of Champagne; “words
that burn" upon Burns cooled by breathings “from the shad,
ow ol'Mont Blanc,” with other dainties tempting to all ta«tes
not even forgetting those who deem the “oblivious nap” thp
last luxury 01 those “who bravely dare to dine.” It would
be us.ejeat to attempt an enumeration, or descant upon the
Jlfficf beauties so abounding; besides, i: might defeat the ob

BE KIND.
Be kind to thy father—fot when thou wert young.
Who loved thee so fondly as he l
He caught the first accents that fell from fhy tongue,
And joined in thy innocent glee,
Be kind to thy father, for now he is old,
His locks intermingled with grny ;
His footsteps are feeble, once fearless and bold,
Tby faiher is passing away.
Be kind to ihy mother—for lol on her brow
May traces of sorrow be seen ;
Oil, well mny’st thou cherish end comfort her now,
For loving and kind hath she been.
Remember tl;y mother—for time will she pray.
As long as God giveth her breath ;
With ac-ents of kindness then cheer her Iona way,
P'en to the dark valley of death.
Be kind to thy brother—his heart will have dearth,
It*the smile of thy joy be withdrawn ;
The llov.-ers of feeling will fade at the birth.
If the dew of affection be gone.
Be kind to thy brother—wherever yop ate,
The Tovejof a brother shall be
An ornament purer and richer by far
Than pearls from the depth of the sea.
Be kind to thy sister—not many may know
The depth of true sisterly love;
The wealth of the ocean lies fathoms below
The surface that sparkles above.
Thy kindaess shall bring to thee many sweet hoars,
And blessings thy pathway to crown ;
Affection shell weave thee a garland of flowers,
More precious than wealth or renown.

THE FORGET MH NOT.
most THE CERXAS OF MVMLLSR.
Silent o'er the fonatain gleaming,
In die silvery moonlight hour. j...
Bright and beauteous in its seeming,
Waves a friendly fragile flower.
Never let-it be mistaken;
Blue—aj heaven's own blessed eye,
By no envious clouds o'ertaken
When it langhs through all tho sky,
Flower of heaven's dirinest hue !-
Symbol of affection true I
Whisper to the poor heart-broken!
Consolation—heaven-spoken!
Loved one f — like the star of morning
Are thine eyes — so mild and fair —
Iunocence with light adorning
Their pure radiance everywhere;
Maiden mine ! attend my lay;
Be this flow'ret ne’er forgot —
Whispering through the far-away.
Oh. forget—forget tpe noil" , .
I HI . 'J.kluqtn MJ 10«:
Duty stern may bid us sever,
fears bedew our parted lot;
Yet these flowers shall murmor'eyer,
“Ah! forget—forget me not f" . , j,
Liit, belovetl! what it aayeth;
List, each blossom's whispered sound l
As its lowly- head itlayelh
On the dew bespang’ed ground,'
Bethink ! each dew-drop i* a tear,
That brims its dark blue eyes .-
Remember — when you wander near—
“Forget me not," it sigbs.
HUMILITY. — Br MosycowERT.
The bird that soars on highest
Builds on the ground her lowly rest.
And she that doth most sweetly sing,
Sings in the shade when all things rest,
In lark and nightingale we see
What honor hath humility.
The saint that wears heaven's brightest crown.
In deepest adoration bends; v ■
The weight of glory bows him dowii
The mott when most his soul ascends;
Neare*t the throne itself must he
The footstool of Humility.

in time of war, and essential -ajso to its com
merce. ; .
3. Resolved, That the improvement and
preservation of the navigation of. (hose great
rivers, are objects as strictly nationa.1 as any
other proposition for the defence of tlie country,
and that such improvements arc deemed by this
Convention impracticable by the States, or in
dividual enterprise, and cal] for the appropria
tions of money for the same by the General
(Joveramenj.
4 Resolved, That the deepening of the
mouth of I lie Mississippi, so as Jo pass ships of
tho largest class cost what it may, is a work
worthy of the nation, and would greatly pro
mote tlie general prosperity.
. Resolved, That the project of connecting
the Mississippi over with the Lukes, by a ship
canal, and jtius ‘with tho Atlantic Ocean is a
measure worthy of the enlightened consideration
of Congress.
6. Resolved, That if tho policy of tt|pfor-
cin fT our Navy with war steamers bo adopted,
lhe western waters are proper sources pf sup
ply, :ts they ab.pund iy iron, the best material
for their construction and in lead and eppper,
important materials for munitions of war, pro
visions al3° being cheap, and the skill required
for their construction and navigation being am
ple in this region, which ajreajdy posscass the
largest steam commercial marine in the world.
7. Resolved. That the intercourse between
the GuifofMexico and the tlantic coast, ought
to be preserved unimpaired, and that ample mil
itary and naval defences and additional light
houses and beacons should be established along
the coast of tj/e Gulfpi'Mexico, at the most eli
gible poinis.
* 8. R.esolved, That millions of acres of the
public A'Vitkin, lying op tjie Mississippi river
and on its tributaJies, flow .worthless for the
purposes of cultivation, might be reclaimed by
throwing up embankments, so ns to prevent
overflow; and (hat ibis convention recommend
to Congress to take such measures as may be
necessary to accomplish that object, by grunt ol
said lands or appropriation of money.
9. Resolved, That the Golt and L ike coasts

j expenditures required for the prop 1 r. d.-f i cc-
I of the Gul( and tho Lukes, w:il fail far sh rt >>f
I what Ins been freely voted for the coast do-
I fences df.lnt} Atlantic.
10. Rfesolvt-d, That the Mu l service of the
Souihand West requires great improvements in

lish a National Atmory and Foundry, at some
point on the U’eatern waters, at as early a pe
riod as possible.
13. Resolved, That efficient steps shorn 1 he
taken by the General Government to remove
and prevent the recurrence of lhe obstructions

and of a najionui character, and entirely beyond
the ability of Missouri to accomplish.
14. Resolved, '(’hat a Dry Dock and conve
nient arrangements for the repairs and refining
if government vessels, should be established at
some suitab e point on the Gnif of Mexico.
15. Resolved, That Rail Road communica
tion from the valley of the Mississippi to the
Southern Atlantic ports, in giving greater fa
cilities to trade, greater despatch to travelling,
and in developing new sources of wealth, are,
in all their salutary influences on the commer
cial, social and political relations, strongly urg
ed on tho consideration, and patriotism of the
people of jlto Wpst, and they are the more re
commended as works within the power of pri
vate enterprise to construct, and as affording
profitable investments 1 J)f capital.
16. Resolved,iT.hut. tlie earliest opportunity
may bcafFordpd lor private individuals and en
terprise to direct,[heir capital and energies lo
the completion of the important roads projected,
the Convention recommends to the Delega
tions present, to appoint commiiteos, charged
with the duty of prompt nnd early application
to their respective Legislatures, for charters to
construct e tch roads as may pass through their
States; and to ask such aid a: d patronage from
.said Slates as may, in their discretion, bo
necessary and propel to aid in the construction
of the works. . r , . }
17. Resolved, That as many of the Roads
projected pass through the public domain, this
Convention would respectfully urge on the con
sideration of Congress tho equity of granting
the right of way and alternate sections in aid of
the works so situated, such grants, in the opin
ion of this Corn-pillion, being no more than a
■fair'Compensation paid by the proprietor for the
enhanced vahteimparted Ip the sectionsol land
retained by the government. -
18. Resolved, By thia Convention.} that'it is
expedient that Congress should make an-appro
priation of money for lhe purpose of cbm pil

Swamps to the highlands in Arkansas, in the di.
rection of tlie military pos;s on the wea|ejrn

Committee to memorialize Congress on Lie va
rious topics embraced iu the, foregoing resolu
tions.
20. Resolved, That the President appoint a
Committee of members<of this Conven
tion, to address our. common constituents on the
same subject.
EDITING A NEWSPAPER.
Many people estimate the ability of A news
paper and the industry and talents of.its editor
by tho quantity of editorial matter which it con
tains. It is _ comparatively an easy task for a
frothy writer t» pour out words, words, upon
any aud all subjects. 11 is ideas may flow in
'one weak, washy,'everlasting flood,’ atid His
command of language may'ena’ole him to siring
them together lit 1 e hunches of oniot s ; and yet
his paper may be a meager-poor qoncern. But
what is the labor, tho toil of such a man, who
displays his ‘ leaded mailer ever so largely,
to that imposed on the judicious, well inform'd!
editor, who exercises his vocation with an
hourly conscjouspess of its responsibilities and
duties and devotes himself to Rie cond.uct.ofhis
paper wiili the same care and assiduity that a
sensible lawyer bestows upon a suit,or a human
physician upon a Datipnt without regard to
show or display ! Indeed, the iRfflft. writing
parf of editing a paper is hut a smalt portion ol
the work. Tiic industry is not even shown
there. The curb, the time employed in select
ing is far n;on? important—and the fact of a
good editor is better shown by his selection
then by anything else; and that, wp all know
is half tlie battle. But ns \ye said, an edit/K
ought to lie estimated aud his labors understood
and appreciated, by the general conduct of his
paper, its tep)p er > '* s uniform, consistent^course,
its principles, its aims its manliness, Us dignity,
its prosperity. To preserve these as they
should he preserved, is enough to occupy fully
the time nnd attention of m y man. If to this
be added the general supervision of a notvspa-
perestablishment, which most editors have to
encounter, the wonder is, how they can find
time or room to write at aliP—Nat. fitl.
AMERICAN WOMEN.
M. de Tocqiteviilc speaking of American
women says :
“As for myself, I d > not heMlale to avow,
that, although tlie wommofthe United States
arc confined within the tiatfow circle of domes
tic life, and their s'ttta'ion is in some respects
one of extreme dependence, 1 have no where

THE MORMONS.
The ’ast “ Now York Sun"’ basTtn editorial
r:i■ ■ I, as well as a letter from N^wroo of thp
27th October, concerning tiii.s extraordinary
people, 'flie Idler I s from Mr. James Arling
ton Benuet!, :it:d professes to sketch their fu.
tore tfe^tgns as follows :
“Tlie present organization of the church,
with the twelve apostles at its head, with a pres
ident tvho biri'Ja thd keys of the kingdom, is the
one that must stand ; nnd whan these shall huve*
gone to California, Monncuism will be no
more in the United Slates. But there will Ley
a mighty gathering from ail nnt:ons of the earth
to the-Mormon empire now about to be estab:
Itsheu on the pacific ocean ! Ong ilfng you
may rely on—and lint is, this people will nev
er annex themselves to any government on
eaitp ; npr is it dpsirahle that they shouIJ, as
they tire determined to be governed by their
own laws. The''Mormons consider Governor
Ford as an ohi woman in Breeches. They
say that, instead of permitting them to defend
themselves against the mobs, he legalises the
mobs by throwing into their aid some of the
Stale forces. This is what is called their
abuso of the governor that wp see in tho pa;
pers.
“Thoro are already oiganizod twenty-fiv©
companies of one hundred familit s each, to be
fil’tsl up during lhe winter, for the tnarph to
California. Each family of ten persons will
have a strong wagon drawn by four oxen, and
supplied with everything necessary for the
journey.
“A troop of horso will be organized as go ad
vance guard.”
“The whole Mormon ree.plo are called in
from Europe and America, so that they expect
about two hundred thousand persons to con
gregate jvithip cue year at the bay of San Fran.-
cisco! Several ships w}i| be fitted out in
England to take their people round Cape Horn,
and others will sail from New York in tljo
sift ing. Is not (his a (emitting place for an old
United-States officer like myself, who has been
through the last war 1 They wish me much
to,Join them, and I presume, if I did, I would
have lhe first military command in the camp of
title saints. They certainly require a leader
with a military and mathematical head, arid
one who has seen active service ; but }. am too
old to setd.e in the West.”
The “ New York Sun,” in its cjrji edito
rial article, runs os follows :
“27<c Mormons.—William Smith, brother of
Joe Smith, the Mormon prophet, states that it is
ibeir design to set up an independent government
somewhere in the neighborhood of the Rocky
mountains, or near California. That the plan
haWlrPen maturing for a long time, and that, iq
fact, with hate jn their hearts, skilfully kept up
by the Mormon leaders, whose pockets are to
(>e enriched by their toil, tho mass of tlie Mor
mons will be alike purged of American feeling
anti shut out by n ,barrier of mountains and
chuttnt restrictions fromany dlherthan Mormon
freedom. That tlie design of Brigham Young
arid the ‘twelve’ is to build up n sacerdotal ty?
rarm^. tlip; sniyij of which will lie more re
pugntuu to the spread of republic principles
than could possibly he the rale of Europe.:—
These are William Smilh’s views. He is op
posed to the pian of organization and its leaders,
Wc find the following in tho Mormon paper,
which .s;peaks a hitter and, in some respects* we
apprehend, a true spirit in reference to their
wrongs. We could not believe that, in a gov
ernment of laws, any sect, no matter what their
faith might be, would ever have been driven
out of; tlie land vi et gratis. Tho .Mormon pa,
per says :
“ * Wc owe (he United States nothing. We
go out by force, no' exiles from freedom. The
f overriment arid people owe us millions for tho
estruction of life and property in Missouri and
in (Jljt ois. The blood .of our best men stains
the land, and (lie ashes of our property will
preserve it till God comes out of his hidings
place, and gives this nation a hotter place than
lie did Sodom and Gomorrah. “ When
they cease to spoil, they shall be spoiled,” for
the Lord hath spoken it.’
“They will become formidable enemies lo
the United States, either in California or Ore
gon ; and government should look to this maj.-

*’ TTV/d is Judge Story ?”—This distinguish
ed jurist, whose recent death produces a great
sensation throughout the country, was ns i?
.generally known, a professor in Harvard Uni
versity. It was bis custom to amuse his class
by retail ng interesting anecdotes, in illustra
tion inf principles t f la w, and few tnen have
cVrir been more skilful an adept in' the man
agement of this kind of instruction. The wri
ter of this had the pleasure of bearing one of
his lectures on a casual visit to Cambridge, in
which he stated that the Courts of England had
nw a rded a hundred pound note to the person
Irom whom it had been stolen, 1 ccause the
banker who purchased it from (he thief ought
to have known from his personal appearance
that lie would not be liktiy to own a nqte of
such value. This rule, he thought, would not
always operate justly in this country ; and in
illustration, he stated, in Ms inimitable man
ner, the following anecdote:
“ When I came here to Cambridge,” said
he, “to occupy the station wlrch I now hold^,
my friends thought proper to greet me with u
public dinner, which was served u;> with a good
deal of parade in a large room adjoining the
post office 1 where there wi s, as is t ot uncom
mon ou such occasions ; a groat oral of noise,
aid a good while continued. 1 supposed it
probable that there was rot a m:ir>. woman or
child, in this small vidnge who did rot know
of tliis.merry-making, and the occasion of if,
particularly as l l ad occupied a scat upon the
Rt itch in Boston for sixteen years previously,
and passed sentei ecs of death and imprison
ment upon numerous c< nvints. Tim bustle and
ttoVo b< ing over, and having pursued by avoca
tion ns lecturer on Jaw it) tits place for about
two m nths, 1 had occasion one day to call
at the post office and ic quire for letters for
Jtulgc Stori/. Judge Story? inquired tlie
postmaster. Judge Story, I re; l ed with some
emphasis. 'Judge Story! Judge Story! re
iterated the pus master, ‘who is Judge Stniy?
/ never heard of him before.
