The. young are easily enticed into the paths jof sin, and -as your sons are not ex empt from its seductions, advise ifiem with all th.e love and affet tion of a mother, to forsake those paths and walk in those of righteousness, the end of which, is eternal life. The young must die, with the old, ; they have no lease for their lives, and tho' your sons' cheeks are noiv reddened with the bloom of youth, you should remind them of their mortality and the factthat this world in which they live, move and have a being is not their permanent hptne. A few more revolving suns, a few more fluttering o' the pulse, and they, too, will be clothed - in the winding sheet, and'be confined with in the narrow limits of the coffin. But if they die Christians, their souls w ill ascend to heaven to live with-God and Christ. As the years of your life multiply, may your love for God increase.

But this, be sides being an instance of-" unparalleled success," was also one of narrow; escape : for somof the mischief-loving .Whigs had the. audacity to . expose. the manoeuvre ; and had they been as numerous then as now, the administration would have probably been rather more cautious of attempting to bribe members of Congress ; and kept at least a part of its gold and silver to pay the ; more humble and needy, classes of the .com inanity lo whom -it was indebted,; and es- pecially the time worn Soldier whrafpdy erty had placed pn the pension roll..
