Cousin Henrietta’s Story, OR, THE T W O F UTURE S . BY MISS COLEMAN. James, cousin Henrietta is going to tell us a real fairy story ; don’t you want to hear it ?’ * What! and will it begin with ‘ once upon a time ?’ 1 Yes, and she is going to tell it down in our little fairy dell.’ ‘ Oh, how delightful!’ screamed James jumping up from the floor, upon which he had been lolling lazily; ‘.When tire we to go ?’ 4 In about half an hour f’ ‘Dear me, how nonsensical! Why cant she go now ?’ * Because it will he.pleasanter half an hour later, (>r the sun w ill he jiist going down, and we can walk home in the moonlight. ’ ’ La, who ceres for the moonlight ? I want to go now, and don’t see any use in waiting.’ ‘ But, J imes, as cousin Henrietta is so kind as to tell os a story, ought >.ve not to he patient, and wait till she is ready ?’ * ‘ l don’t know—l—don’t—see—any- —use’—lnn James did not know what els’- to sav. So lie pouted out his lips, and lay down again upon the floor. I suppose my little readers perceive that James is a selfish little boy, who loves to have his oyvn way about every thing, and il lie cannot, becomes sulkv and cross ; “this was the; case, even about so small a matter as waiting half an hour for his cousin ; and when she and his sisters were ready, he was determined in his heart to vex them ns much ns possi ble,* so when they called him he ‘arose slowly, and walked lazily along-, drag ging one foot after the other. ‘ James, do come quick,’ said his sis ter Mary ; * we shall go without yon.’ ■ lie started at these words and hastened along, for he saw his cousin he irlv tit the end of the avenue, and lie began to he afraid she would really tell the story with out him ; hut not even the beautiful spot chosen for the recital, and called the ‘ fairy dell,’ could make him look pleas ant and kind. Henrietta seated herself on a mossy hank, and when tiie children had sealed themselves round her, she commenced : ‘ Once upon a time, there was a little prince, named William ; lie tvas an in ii lligent hoy, hut selfi-h, and selfishness makes a person do many evil tilings. ‘ One afternoon he was walking in the palace garden, wishing (as usual) to look over the higher hedge which surrounded il, and ‘which being v ery thick, ami cov ered with large sharp thorns, prevented him from making any opening to ‘see through, when suddenly he saw a benuli (tii tree, which appeared to he growing close to the liegde. The young prince looked at il with astonishment, for lie had never seen a tree there before, and he also wondered at its sing,alp: Lean - ty. ‘ The long branches drooped heavily, for they were laden with . many different vines curiously nnd regularly entwined i round each of them ; there were roses and 1 inoruing-glori.es, of all colors, on one of the branches ; on another, large hunches of wbite and pui pie grapes peeped out from the thick green leaves ; and anoth er looked its if there had been a snow storm, for it was covered with innumera ble little while flowers. After William had looked at it for some time, he dimed up, and pushing aside one of the long plume-like branches, gazed with aston ishment at the scene before him. At a short distance from the tree, was a mag nificent palace, the walls of which were transparent. Presently he saw in one of the saloons, a lovely bov, seated on an ottoman, covered w ith cloth of gold, and on one side of him were two beautiful spirits, and on the other, two frightful | ones—but these, the little hoy seemed not to perceive, At first he looked happy , hut soon the expression of his face chang ed, nnd a voice said to William : ‘ He is listening to the evil spirits, w ho are telling him to do wrong.’ And the prince saw that Ihe good spirits moved sadly nway from him, while the evil ones approached nearer. ‘ Several scenes passed before William. In the first it seemed that the the hoy had told a lie, and his mother reproved him gently, nnd he wept as lie promised never to do so again. In the next he appeared much older, and no longer handsome ; for he had listened to the whispers of the OUR C()U NTR Y’S GOOD / 8 OVR S . evil spirits, nnd had obeyed them, till he was grown evil him spiff and the good spirits’ no longer could come near him ; a ltd a’s Wili am.looked up, he saw in an other saloon,’ the hoy's mother weeping bitterly, because* her son had grown so wicked,-* The changed aiul he,saw the hoy now become a man ; the express ion of his face was very wicked, and he was standing near his mother with a dag ger raised as if to kill her. Many fright fill-looking creatures were near him, who were grinning w ith pleasure, lor they knew ihey should soon have him for their own ; hardly had the dagger entered his mother’s breast, than these evil spirits seized him, and look him away to their own dominions. Once again the scene changed, and William saw tjie murdered mother borne by-augels towards heaven. •* Again the voice spoke in'the Prince’s ear : 1 Dost thou know who the wicked son represents ? Thyself; such will he thy fate if thou dost not stop thine ears to the whisperings of the evil spirits.— Turn once mo-e to the palace, and thou shall see J the contrast.’ ‘ Again the Prince saw a fair yottna boy in the saloon and the evil spirits drawing near to liirt>; hut he stopped his ears and would not listen. Good angels approach, and the evil ones fly far a way. % ‘ Once more several scenes pass before him. In the first, the good hoy seemed to he tempted to do something which he had been forbidden, hut he would not lis.. ten to the evil spirits, and ns lie turned from tlio temptation, the good spoils Inoßed on him with love. In the next lie was considerably ok*ex ; new and se vere temptation assailed him, and once lie almost yielded, and as William turned he saw the boy’s mother leaning anxious ly towards him, fearing he would yield : the lovely spirits were at a distance, while vviili billions aspect the evil ones approached ever nearer hut, behold ! ere it wits 100 lute, h; tv,is tprne.d boldly from (eiuptaiimi, the wicked spirits have flown fnglHcned away, anil t lie a.ngels draw very near; nittl now he beholds his mother smiling llirntigh Iter tears tears and smiles of joy that her son had resist ed evil. The scene changed and Wil iiam saw that the hoy ha ! become a young man; lie was beautiful ; lovely spirits were continually near him, and the evil ones no longer dared approach ; he had resisted their temptations, till now they could-offer none to him. * yJgain he saw the mother and son, ns. they were home by angels up to heaven. White ros/s, emblems of innocence and purity, were enwreatlied in her hair,’ while a star shone brightly on the fore head ofllie son. William gazed until nothing ( Qti.hl he seen but the light .of that at fast even faded ; hut as he gazed ouct/more towards the palace, he saw a being ii'i shining white, who, looking at him with kindness, said : ‘ Thou hast seen the two futures. The first will sure ly he thine, il thou dost nut resist temp lo tions ; think how ninny times thou hast ridded to the w hispers of evil spirits, or what is (lie same, to evil wishes ; how of ten hath it)v mother wept that thou didst not love her enough to obey her. Keep a strict watch over thyself; drive away evil thoughts ; love truth : resist tempta tions. for now than knowest to what they will lead thee, and thy future will he like that us the being just faded from thy sight.’ Thus speaking, the bright strang er vanished, and as William got down from the tree, lie thought the leaves, as they rustled in the evening wind, sting to him in low melody : Resist evil thoughts, Do only the right ; And round iheejsliall hover Angels of light. ‘ He could (lisiinipnsh no more words, i and thoughtfully he left the spot ; but ere | he readied the palace, lie turned to look once more at the wonderful tree ; il was no longer there ; hut, fir up ill the heavens, he saw one bright anti glowing star. ‘ Prjnce William npver lorgot the scciips which liad’ past before him, and as lie eotitimially strove against the temptations that assailed him, lie grew up to be n good and wise man.’ Henrietta ceased ; the children were silent and suddenly James said with a trembling voice: ‘ I thank you cousin Henrietta, for your beautiful story. I am sure you wrote it,-and lor me, for I know I am vefy selfish ; hut I will never forget the two futures, and whenever I look at the -tars, i shall think they are angels look ing at me, ano that will help me to resist temptations ; won’t it Henrietta ?’ ‘ \ es, dear James; and you must know that there are angids always near yon, who try to make you good, and who, every time you mind what evil spir its say, move-sadly away from von.— But, come, dear cousins, there is the moon, and many heautilul stars, by whose light we can go home.’ Then silently anil thoughtfully, the children rose and left the laity dell. James did not forget the story ; hot lie was olten disappointed, that he could uot he good all at once, for lie had been so much accustomed to yielding to every temptation, that lie found it very hard to resist them ; hut gradually,, those wrong things which had before been .pleasant to him, seemed so no longer, and every temptation resisted, made the next easier to overcome. He loiind that if lie al lowed evil wishes togaiu an ascendency over him, that lie felt unhappy,- and he i ememhered that the good spirits could not stay near those who did wrung, ami this made him more determined to do right ever afier. Sochi! Influence of Railroads, A prominent feature in the extension of railroads in this country, is the social in fluence engendered. Whatever tends to create and strengthen social, intercourse among a people governed by the same laws, and largely participating in the same interests, is worthy <d high consid eration ; lor whatever promotes such in tercourse strengthens the bond ofpJitieal uiiimi and equality, and renders more permanent the established institutions of a free people. The destiny of the United Slates is onward. The questions which divide parties, and sotpewlmt agitate whole cotn muiiitiis or even states, will not seriously* interfere yvilli *(hefulfi! 1 ment of what is in evitably the destiny of this country*.— Tin* people throughout is length and breadth are yvaking up to the interests upon every hand which so much concern them. They are calmly considering their duty to themselves at this present, and to those who are to come after them in the future. Out of their abundance they are providing for the stability of the in stitutions which have been foil tided after a Iniig-and patient struggle, and laying broader nnd deeper the inundation- of in dividual, state, and national w ealth and happiness. Just in proportion ns the social quali ties anil intercourse of a people are pro moted and extended, the soil, the true source of wealth, becomes inert used in value; the skill of the artisan more sought after education and the higher attainments in science guaranteed ; the rights and privileges <>f religion in its va rious forms, freely practised ;uxl enjoyed; in a yvord the science of human govern ment becomes practically ch imnislerated. In a country like ours under a republican form of government, tin* social inter course of the people is entirely unrestrict ed j each portion of this broad Union is deeply interested in whatever t rnrrrns the political well being of the whole, hence we see those in the cast ami west, die north and south, combining in the same enterprises and sharing in ilie same benefits or losses. Wherever a railroad is opened, time and distance heroines shortened between its extremes, and a medium afforded (which thus far lias nev er been neglecled.) through which not only the social hut business intercourse* ofllie people can he frruly indulged in to the mutual pleasure and advantage of all co net* rued. The various roads now under construc tion, and in (onteiuphuion, extending through various states of onr Union from norl!) to south, w ill w hen completed serve as an additional hood of iiuion to the confederacy* if indeed one were wauling, and become new and important channels for the enjoyment of social intercourse, and the exciflingo of (he productions of an already fruitful ami wealthy interior ; besides developing other resources and enterprise now little thought of. hi whatever asptu t the subject is view ed, that of railroad extension and,'enter prize is one worthy of careful consider ation hy the American people, without reference to ueogtnpliioil position or lines.

Clivl'M.VN, President of the Whig National Con e.enli at Sir : l have the honor to receive from your hand the official notice of my ‘ttnan.- itnotts nomination as the \N Itig can didate far the ofliire ol President of the United States”, together with “a copy of the resolutions passed hv the Con vention expressing their opinions upon some prominent questions ol National policy.” This great distinction, conferred hy ti numerous, intelligent, nnd patriotic hotly, respecting mi lions of my countrymen, sinks deep into my heart, and remem bering the very eminent names which were before the Convention amicable com petition with my own, 1 am made to feel oppicsivelv the weight of responsibility belonging to my new posilon. Not having written a word to procure this distinction I lust not a moment, after it had been conferred, in addressing a letter to oue of your members, to signify what would bo, at n proper time, the sub stance ol'niy reply to the Convention, and. I now-Have the Itonoi to repent, in a more formal manner, as the occasion justly demands, that f accept the Nomination with the Resolutions annexed. The political principles and measures laid down in t Dose resolutions are so broad, dint hut little is left for me to add. 1 therefore hiri-ly suggest, in this place, that should I, by the partiality of my countrymen lie elevated to the Chief Magistracy of the Union. I duill he ready in rny connection with Congress, to rcc commend or to approve of measures in regard In the management ofllie public domain so as to secure an early settlement ofllie same favorable to ncutal settlers, but mnsistnnt, nevertheh s., w ith a due regard to the eq tal rights <d the whole American people in that vast national inheritance ; and also to recommend or approve a single al'eratinn in our natns ralizatiou laws, suggested by my military experience, viz : giving to all foreigners the right of citizenship who shall liiiihfullv serve, ill time of war one year on hoard of otir public ships, or in our land forces regular or volunteer, on their receiving an honorable discharge from the service. In regard to the general policy of the Administration, il elected, / should, of course, look among those who may ap prove that policy for the subjects to carry it intoexecttlion, and / should seek to cid tivnte harmony and fraternal sentiments throughout the Whig party, w ithout at tempting to reduce its members, by pro seriplon, to exact conformity to rny own views.
