SPEAK KINDLY TO YOOH MOTHEB. Young man speak kindly to yonr mother, and courteously. But a little time and you shall see her no nioie forever. Iler eye is dim. her form is bent, and her shadow falls towards the grave.- Others may love yon fondly ; but never again while time is yours, shall any one’s love bo to yon ns that of your old, trembling, weakened mother has been. 1 . ■ *’ Through helpless infancy her trembling breast was yonr safe protection and support; iu wayward, testy boyhood, she bore pati ently with your thoughtless rudeness; she nursed you safely through a legion of ills and maladies. Herdiand bathed your burning brow, or moistened your parched lips; her eye's lighfr ed up the darkness of nightly vigils, watch ing sleepless by your side as none but her could watch. Oh! speak not her name lightly, for you cannot live so many years as would suffice to thank her fully. Through recklessness and impatient youth, abe ia your consoler and solace. To a bright manhood she guides your wayward steps. Speak gently, then, anj reverently, of your moth er; and when you, tooyshall be old, it shall, in aoine degree, lighten the remorse which shall be youi* for other aina, to know that never wantonly have you outraged the res pect due to your aged mother. THE BIBLE. The present standard edition of tbe Bible, published by the American Bible society,was prepared by Rev. Mr. McLane, under the superintendence, of a committee consisting of eminent biblical scholars,“in 1851. The most prominent editions published in this country and England were collated; and the changes introduced were confined to orthography, punctuation, words in italics, and capital let ters. The copies used TS” obtain this result were the four authorized editions published in England, tire King James’ version oi 1611, and one of the American Bible Socie ty’s editions. The plan adopted in general was to compare the six different copies, and wherever the American’’’copy differed from one or more of the others, the reading of the majority was followed. In the course of his work, the cullator found about tweDty-four thousand variation* among the six copies compared, solely in the text and punctuation. Yet it is said, of aIT this great number, there is not one which mars the integrity of the text, or affect 6 any doctrine or precept of the Bible. THE COAST OF FLOBIDA.

THE MOVEMENT IN SOOTKEBN XHTML We recently referred very briefly to tbe increased interest beginning to be felt by tbe people of tbe South in all that relates to their own history nnd literature. We return to the subject, to add a few words to ou{ former view. There seema no good reason to doubt tbe existence of this change in pnhlie senti ment ; that it is a very decided ehatige, will be as little called in question. Within a very few years— a period, indeed, familiar to the memory of the youngest of our readers— there was throughout the entire southern country, an'absolute apathv upon tbe subject of everything relating to the glories of onr great past. A few students only—true dev otees of their native soil and the grand deeds that have illustrated it—watched, as it were, upon the tower; or explored tbe darknesa of our annals— giving themselves cheerfully to the labor, without much hope of public sym pathy or reward. These worthy pioneers in the undiscovered and unknown tracts of Southern history, did their duty well and faithfully; and the day is not distant when they will find coming to welcome them, thst honorable distinction which awaits all genu ine merit. We think that the evidences of (his inclination in the popular mind are visi ble all round us. The great body of the Southern public no longer look with indiffer: once upon tiiese studies, or those who puraire them. There exists a very ronrked and ob vions disposition to pay more attention to let ters proper. A native literature has become a decided desideratum —and iu the interest ing departments of biographical and histori cal investigation, ninny able explorers are at work, neither unnoted nor unhooored. Every true son of the South must bail this result with satisfaction. We have moat assuredly paid too little attention to what constitutes no small part of the glory of a land—a solid nnd deserving literature. It is not too much to. say that the birth of Shaks penre was a more important event in the his tory of England than that of Elizabeth, or any of her successors. And we. may add the remark that Lord Macaulay is at this mo ment a greater ornament to Ida native land, in the eyes of the world, than all cal leaders who shape and direct her des tines. The South tins given to the land far more than her just quota of commanding rep resentatives in the field of civil and military affairs. Virginia, the CarnlirMS, and many more may rest serenely on their laurels in that direction. But what has this immense and prolific nation of the South—vigorous aTTd powerful ih~every species of menial de velopment—what lms it done at all commen surate with its groat encrg.es and endow ments in tho exclusive world of art and let ters! Our artists and authors have produc ed some beautiful statues aud pictures, it is true, Rnd some hooks which surpass without doubt every thing on the same subject ever written in America. But we are noue the less convinced that, in this direction,'’ there exists in our very midst a great and undevel oped treasury of strength and beauty, which will yet be thrown open. Every thing invites to it—the mine is crammed with the richest ore, and the laborers have vigorous muscles. We think the determination to’ work it is now fixed. Did our space permit, we might indicate more fully our view of the capacity of Vir ginia alone to supply the subject’ for these important investigations. Her history is rich in fill the best and most attractive mate rials for the hand of the historian. Her an nals are illumined by a thousand noble fig ures and great deeds, which do honor to her self and to human nature. It ia not unfair to those gentlebion who have published elab orate volumes upon the general history of the State, to say, that in many of the most valuable, interesting, and important depart ments of their task,they have left very much to be desired still.. But in other publications of a less pretending description, we think the true direction of these researches lia been indicated, and the verdict of the public is in support of onr opinion. Whatever hns clear ly and faithfully delineated the great features, so to speak, of the august patriot of Virgin ia, has been received with unmistekeable fa vor—a fact which will not he disputed. We addrthat this favorable tendency of the pop ular mind towards genuine contributions to our historic aunuls, is increasing, growiug more discriminating, and impelling our perse vering students to more extensive and accu rate research, and a greater enthusiasm in the prosecution of their bonoiable labors.— Before their systematic and ardent investiga tions, the obscurities which have wrapped a thousand important points have cfisappiared; light has been thrown on many a dark page in the annals of the far past, and many a name which has been unduly censured, or too greatly honored, has been made to occu py its proper elevation and position. Time is always holding, if has been said, a High Court of Appeals, and before this tribunal of equity the history of oar past and its con spicuous figures, is now summoned to appear. The audience who attend to the proceedings, to carry out the illustration, is large, and lar ger still. More vigorous intellects, and in greater numbers, are employed in the inves tigations. The questions are of deep inter est and importance, sueb as the best interests of our native soil, its noble names and noble actions demand. It is far within the limits of truth and moderation to say that the State of Virginia has, more largely than any oth er, shaped the destine* of the North Ameri can continent. and thnsof the great Repub lican idea and the spread of Christianity.— Her influence has pervaded tbe entile histo ry of ihfl government, shaping atid moulding it; her leaders iu arms and in Council have every where occupied the places of danger, responsibility and public trust. What the new historical philosophy claims, is the pow er as the deslrirbility of illustrating the fives and character of these men, their influence on their own generations, and All generations which have succeeded, to show M what man ner Os men they were,” that fbeir descend ants and every body may haVfl models of public virtue aud intelligence to make ex amples of. It ia not an unimportant fact that George Mason wrote to his son in Paris that he wished to meet him still a freeman,or nev er look on him more; That Thomas Belton impoverished himself ft>r his conn try 5 that a thousand generous and noble Actions were performed by the men of Virginm and the South. Let them all bo delineated and our history smd soil be mado tbe subject of the philosophic historian, and those who pursue the lees onerons task of describing oar beau tiful scenery, or writipg fiction or poetry.— We shall gain a double advantage and honor. Oar literature will become far more vigorous and increase in ail the elements of fbree and beauty; and through this literature—iu itself the practidium et dutce deem* of the s.il which produces it—will be duly honored by the worthies who dignify tbe name of tbe State to which they belong. We earnestly commend io public attention the frnlts which have already rewarded tbe faithful laborers in this great field, and trust that the hon orable toils of every one may be rewarded by a thorough appreciation on the part of the public. f A WONDERFUL THIN IN THE TIDE Os FOB TUNE. Among tbe passengers in tbe Collins Stea mer Pacific, which disappeared in 1856, were Jjbes Barber, wife and daughter* us .Chica go. Mr. Barber possessed an entensive prop erty here, of soane $?00,000 in value. The steamer's loss swept awav bis entire family, with the.exception one little girl—then” an infant of three years—who was left in Chi cago during her parents’ European tour.— When all hopes of any tidiugs was abandon doned, the Probate Court opened the will By it all this itnmene estate, Apart from a feflr private bequests.,was left to the survi ving child, who thus became one of the ‘lar gest direct heiresses in the countft. In case of her death it was .to revert to the nearest of kin. A few weeks since this little one. who has never enjoyed perfect health, wa stricken with scarlet fever. Mnch concern continued to be felt throughout the cits as the iimiduoits disease heightened ; for every one appeared interested in the peculiar cir cumstances. On Friday Isst, wheu human skill resigned its baffled efforts to save so valuable a life, death terminated the child’s sufferings; and threw into the lap of those who never dreamed of being wealthy, a for tune of solid, value. The next of kin are three sisters of Mr. Barber who live at Sim coe, Canada West. To these the will left two hundred per annum. The ladies are st by this inscrutable decree of Providence, they have come iu possession of an estate whose intrinsic value is now at least $400,- 000. As Byron woke up one morning and found himself famous, to will these poor people suddenly find themselves rich, and endowed with more wealth than their wild est dreams ever pictured.— Chicago paper. FBALSEWOBTHY. The U. S. Senate has nearly unaniawns ly passed a bill for the benefit of tbe widow of tiie late Lieut. Win. L. Herdon, who was commanding officer of tbe ill-fated steamer Central America, at the time of her loss, on the 12th of September last. He was a dis tinguished officer of the Unnied States Navy aud entitled to a compensation of $2,500 per annum. Tbe Senate bare, by voting the widow three years full pay, performed a mer itorious act by making her and her orphan child comfortable, as well as exciting a laud able ambition among those who b4ve the welfare of humanity at stake when tossed upon the tempestuous billow#., . The noble and self-sacrificing” action of Herndon can never be forgotten, aud the iri troducer of the resolution, Senator Seward ot New York, has evinced a spirit of gener ous appreciation of meritorious worth. We take this occasion to mention that our worthy friend, Theodore Payne, Esq., of San Francisco, was the rescued passenger by whom Capt. Herndon sent his watch to his wife, and wliat language can be more elo quent or impressive tliau tbe noble captain’s on that occasion ; said he “Sea my wife and child, girc her that watch and. tcH her"— here his feelings forbade further utterance.— Mr. Payne, whose noSle and sympathetic heart well understood tbe mute language which was greater than words could convey.- left tbe doomed vessel.with p apntiineui treasured in bis |nemory as beautiful as was the reply of tbe-|iridow on receiving the rel ie from his hands-*--* Yon, Sir, are juet the man with whom my husband would have in trotted tuck a message.” Seldom does a bearer of dispatches ever have the privilege of conveying a message so fraught whb heart struggles as this. - VEBNON GROVE, OB HEARTS AS THEY AlB.” •# -r- The New York Day Book, in noticing tbe contents of the Sonthoru Literary Messenger inquires; ” By the way, who is tho author of ‘Ver non Grove, or Hearts as they Are V It is certainly the best American story being is sued in any Magazine in the country. Full of plot and admirably written, it is really a very captivating tale.” We have no authority for the statement, hut we have understood that it is by a very accomplished Charleston lady, and that it may appear in book form .—Charleston Eve ning Sews.
