Harris, noticed in your paper, created emotions of mind, which can be produced only by the decease of one virtuous, moral and roligious character nan a tendency to ameliorate the condition of man nn earth, and point him to the path which leads to a hapnierhomc-licvond thotomb. Early in life, she was blessed with tho councils of kind and religious parents; but while newa yet young and nccdod much tho protection and guardianship of a tauicr, an inscrutable dispensation .01 rrovidcnce cut tho chord that united them, and summoned him to his homo in tho His misfortune 'pierced deep the heart of one so young, so affectionate; but tho bleeding wound was scarcely closed, when it was again re-opened by another dispensation which rent the tics thnt bound daughter to mother, nnd took tho latter Ui her inheritance in tho homo of the blessed. Thus in tho course of a few short months she, with bar younger sisters and brothers, was left to mourn their desolato nnd dreary condition. But there is' no desert so waste, as not to have its oasis. She was received into tho family circle of nn affectionate Uncle and Aunt who, by their parental care, roligious instruction and example, wall nigh filled tho vacuum, "produced by former bereavements.

At this tiroo she manifested those aminblo and mora) traits of character, which sooa numbered her a mem-bet of the Sundny School Class. As pupil she was a constant attendant, until she had acquired sufficient nge and oxperionco to bccomcatoacbcr. This responsibility she chocrfullyassumcd.iind attended punctually to its requirements, gaining tho confidence nnu attachment of her peculiar class in an eminent degree, $So each of whom she presented a copy of the Bible. Stmio four years since, she became serious on the subject of religion. Her convictions wore deep, her penitence sincere.

Her caso elicited tho sympathies anil prayers of hor pious friends, and more especially her dovotcd Pastor. Who that saw, can forget tho scone, when she retired without tho camp ground an afflicted, stricken seeking pardon; whon anon, on tho wings of lovo she returned as an angel of light, telling what tho Lord had dono for her? Orwhocan-Tiot call to remembrance hnppy seasons in the church, especially somo twelvo months ago, when she arose in tho great congregation, and the language of Canaan dropped from her lips, while a heavenly lialo surrounded hcrcountciiancci Thoso bright manifestations were tho result of her deep piety, and tho fulfilment of all hor religious duties. Observation has made thorn sometimes seem the harbingors of a translation' from 'this world of sorrow, to a happier, more congenial climo, where tho subject of them is admitted into full fruition and enjoyment. Surroundod with circumstances, calculated to givo hor religious character its full inftuonce upon tho community in which she might live, and having a Btrong hold on tho esteem and nffoctions of all her acquaintances, friends and relatives, who might flatter thetn-solves with moro buoyant hopes or brighter prospect of a long and useful life?" But neither goodness nor youth nor health nor friends nor the wishes nor tho prayers of the nearest and best bolovod relatives, are barriers to tho approach of death. Disease came, with its accompaniments of pain and suffering, and a death, bod scene opens with nil itc gloom and Sho boru her protracted illness with patient resignation, and was often happy.

Whon asked by hor visiting minister, if she would have him pray for any Bpccial blessing; she answered, "pray that I may have an humble and coatrita heart." When asked if she Buffered much; sho replied, my sufferings are nothing to bo compared to those of my Saviour." She loved her Bible, and often requested that it should bo read for her consolation; and in meditating upon its comforts and promises, sho ofton exclaimed, ''the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want." When told that she must die, alio prayed "sweet Jesus, make my path departed in tho happiness, of that 'earnest" which precedes tho perfect bliss of ascending saints. 'Tis pleasant to meditate upon tho virtues of departed worth, but tho future only will reveal the cxcollcucy of her character or the good sho has done. To her bereaved husband, mourning friends and all who know her, tho voice of hor life emphatically -says come to whore I have gone; "your loss is my gain" M. S.

IMPORTANT TO Strange! that so many who are afflicted with a couoh thatis gradually wearing themdown and slowly BUT burelt stealing them into that dreadful disease Consumption, thnt disease which carries off thousands daily, are doing nothing, or what is worse than nothing, are gorging thcmsolves with nostrums that are puffed to tho skies fur cures they are said to have effected on smno foreign or unknown persons when they can be positively cured by using Dr. Rogers Compound Syrup of Liverworland Tar which continue to mako tho most remarkable cures ever recorded in the annals of medicino, which is proved by refcronco to tho rail number of certificates from the first and most respectable citizens, such as tho Hon. Judge Wm; Burke, tho wife of tho Rev. Geo. Ma-ley, Duct.

Wm. Richards, Mrs. Hiram Plumkh, Demhinq Ludlow, of Cincinnati, and a host of other's certificates not only of remarkable cures of distressing couoh but cases ot Uonsusption rosi-tiyelt cured after their Physicians of the highest standing had given them up to die! If men of such high standing will vouch for the great virtues of this medicine wo cannot but admit that it is at leiwt all that it is represented to be. Please notico in another column under the head Dr. Rogers1 Liverwort and Tar, Borne certifi-ctttcti of astonishing cures.

WiSBlWOTON, Doc j5. A message was received from tlio House of Rep-rcsontatiTOs aunouncing the proceedingnof thatbody yesterday, in reference to the death ot the Mon. o- 1 G. McConncll. Mr.

Lewis briefly ad'drcssod theScmut, in remarks appropriate to tho occasion, and asked tho adoption of tho customary resolutions as a mark of respect to tho memory of tho deceased. The resolutions having been adopted, as a further mark oi respect tno osnato adjourned. In tho Houso of Representatives, the foreign con quest resolution of Mr. Davis was agreed to without debate, but with two modifications, viz: that tho res- ident be requested to communicate a copy of bis or ders, nistoad of directed to communicate them; and further, that tho information be communicated it con sistent wit! the public interest. The President lias an option now whether to answer che question proposed in the original resolu tion of Mr.

Davis or not. His inquiry is upon two points: the establishment of civil governments in the conquered provinces, and tho fact of tho recognition of this government by tho Executive. Mr. Brodhcad, of Pa. introduced a series of resolution proposing tho appropriate reference of the messaze' of the President to the standing.

commit tees of the House; and to that end that the House' go into Committee of the Whole upon the question of reference. The motion was agreed to, and tho House went into committee, Mr. Boyd of Ky. in the chair. Mr.

Mr. Payne replied, and begun with the discovery that the member from Ohio was tbo leader of tho Whie party, and wns speaking, ex cathedra, for tho Whigs. Being a leader be should condescend to no tice him, which be would not do it ho wore only speaking for himself. The messago was then defended in all it', parts.

There had been no superior message point of lucid clearness and unsophisticated honesty. It carried conviction to every American bosom, and thj nconlc would defend it- It whs a just and legnl varin all it part, and tho President had made out no clear case that he could not be censured. Mr. Johnsoo, of Tennessee, made a more extreme speech in defence of the war and tho President. He held that to oppose the war with Mexico was to oppose one's country that it was treason, and that the President was right in so esteeming it.

Wo were bound to go for our country, right or wrong, precisely as a father was bound to go for the defence of his fimily, right or wrong. But ho did not regard the country a wrong, or tho Preidcnt a wrong, but upoo the contrary was ready to defend both upon tho principle laid down in the book upon tho law of nations, and by their own Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee, took the floor in reply, but, on motion of Mr. Schenck, the Committee rose Mr. Hopkins, of Virginia, offered a resolution proposing the election of two chaplains of different denominations, who.
