A REMINISCENCE. CX URS. LADT JASE PIERSOX. Yes, 1 rcracmber niany touching incidcnts of life; many sorrowful, as well as joyous pacsages in the historics of those wbo were my scbool fellows, amlamongst tbem all not one more tbrillingly interesteringthan thesto ry of Jasper Forbes. He was about four years tny senior, and altbough tall, and gracefully tnade.had a geDtle and almost femiuine beau ty of forra and featurc. His brown hair lay -itb a smooth silkeo lustrejnst as he combed jt over his fiue head. but Jclung nround his neck and temples in rich bright curls, such as I neversaw supassed; and his full, bluecyes had a depth of sensibility aud affertiou, in thcir liquid beauty, wbich, blent with a sor rowful cxpression, fixed the gaze ofthe most careless observer, and sunk into the heart as a holy thing, coming up in after years in the train of pure and pensive raemories. Ilewas cbeerlul in his demeanor, and his pale oval face wore the Iight ofa Iingeriug smile, yet ovcr and through all Hved a sorrowful cx presBion, softening to a meekness almost an gelic. Jasper bad early drauk tbe cup of sorrow, to tbe deep. bitter drees. His memory retain ed nought of his father except the death-bed scene; and that with its haggardness, ils groans. its tears, and (rantic prayers, was ev er prescnt with him.during the years of child hood, which should be careless and fullofjoy. Hc would sitforhoursgazing upon his strick en inother with anexpressionof countenance painiul for the heart to read, for it was plain that the inourning child was dwelling with dread and agony of spirit on the possibility of bcing forced to stand by her death-bed. also. At length he would startfrom his stool, throw his little arms around her, aud biding his face on her bosom, give way to passionate weep ing. Then would she, who read his heart, lean her cbcck on his silkeo hair, and iningle her tears with his, while she sought by ev cry means to divert and soothe his mind. She felt that she was dying, and that the child who loved her tenderly,kuew it instinct ivcly. At lencth sbe was laid upon her bed. He saw it, and for sume lime seemed to sbrink from enterins herchambcr, allhough hispal- lid face was scen fienuently at tbe door. At lencth she was left alone, and then hc htirricd to bcr bedsidc. Clasping one hand over htr ncck, he nestlcd his lace on uer pillow, anil asked in hurried and fearfulaccouts, '.Motbcr, will you die?' She put her arra arounu nim, anu nis imie forni was shaking with agony. Not yet,' she said. 'I sball notdie yet, my dear little bov.' You vvill get well, theu V be gasped, in irembling hopefulnrsc. 'If it please God, 1 will," sheanswcred. Oh, mother,' hc cried, 'you do not expect to get well again, I know it by the way you speak. Mother, I will be buried with you; forhntv could Istay with no mother to lovc me.'' The young mother claspedbim in agony of love and grief. 'Sweet treasurc of my heart,' slie murmurcd, do not cry so bitterly. 1 trust I sball yet live many weeks, and sit with you again in tbe parlor.' He raiscd his head and looked gratefully to ward hcarcn. and tbenpressed hislip toher's, as if he would seal his beart to her's foreTer. From that hour he seldom left het side, and vheuever it was posible she sat with bim in the parlor, but he knew as well as she did, that herlamp of life was fast going out. Genily and tenderly did she seek to prepare him for the parting, and be, child as he was, controlted tbe agony which he knew was paiu ful to her. ' I shall be well in Heaven, Jasper," she said, the day before she died, 'I shall bcwell and happy tberc, and you will come to me in a few years, and then we shall ucver part again.' 'I am glad that you are going to be well and happy, dear mother,' he said, 'but when I am aloue and sorrowful, and sick, oh! wbo will love me, then?' 'God will lovo you, she said, 'and he will cause good people to love you, and you must alnays think that 1 am Cappy in lieaven, waiting till you can be witb me in glory. You see that I am weak and full ofpains, now; you will not be sorry wben I am Heaven. If I could seeyou go'to Heaven as you are now, mother, 1 would not be sorry, tnougn i must stav here awhile; but to see you cold, stiff, and white, and put into the eoffin.and oh, mother! mother!' and he dropped ather fcet in the agony of his spirit. As soon as he recovered,be went drooping Jy, restraining his sobs until he gained tbe garden, when he gave way to wceping, and broken sentences ofthe prayers which she had laught him, and his voice of agony reached her where she sat, wringiDg her withered heart, and bringing forthearuestsupplications to the orpban's Father that he would comfort tbe child. During tbe niglit a great change came over tbe invalid. All her pains were lostinasenseefweakness, a dreamy, grate ful calm of body and mind, She knew that her time was come and yet she felt no dread, no keenregrets, no painful yearnings for life, or for living. She was willing to leave even her darling boy to the care of the Lord, his God. The morning sun sbone gladly in at her brier rose curtained window. and the sweet birds sangamongst tbe green brancbes that clustered just beyond. Tbelightand music were grateful to her spirit, as things long lov ed and lost, rcstored in all their loveliness Jasper had wept until a late honr at nigbt.and did not waken until tbe sun was higb, but as soon as he was dressed hesougbt his mother. He saw the change in her countenance, and ithisnered. ' Dear mother, Isbculd think you well.you Jook so happy, only you are so very white. I know tbat you are going home to God, and I am willing that you should go, for Gjd sent a sweet aogei last night to cominrt me.. 1 dreamed'tbat you and I were wandering in a dark and lonely place, groaning and weeping for ourselves, and for each other, jqst as we have been doing cver since I can remember. At length we came to a gate dazzling and beautiful, and while we stood before it. it o pened. aud you, motbcr, went in. but I could not raoTea step.

"And theu 1 wept bitterly, but when I raised my eyes, I saw the bright gate agaiu. Weeping and wearily I went towards it, and when 1 came itopened, and I saw you there, you cried out, 'my child lias come home,' and I answered. and my own voice awoke me. And now I know that you are going toables- face, it was still, and he knew that sbe haJ cntered the cclestial gate, Ilewasadoptedbyanexcellentcouplewho bein" childless, loved tbe orphan as n.uch as hearts that never knew parental tendercess, can love.

But I knew that he was an orphan, and tleemed tbose shadows mem- ories from his mother's grave. , Mycousin Rose came tospenda few wccks with me that winter.

Soon after we were scated, Jasper came in, proccededto his place, sat down, and raising liis eyes, caught tbe face of my cousin. I waslooking at bim and saw at first a deep flush like a gleam ofrcd suuligbt covcr his face. I was surprised and keptmy cye on bim. The flush fadedasiftbc receding crimson had swept every tiut of life away, and his cheeks and even his lips were white aud ghastly. Pos srssed by an indefinitc idca that he was ill, I involuutarilv half rose from my seat, but cbecking mysclf, I kept quict and concluded to observe his moods closely. He bent his face to the desk and trembled violently, but soon betook himself to his books.and I did not sce his eyes turned towardsheragain thatday. WelUn a Tew daysbe liatlmaueneracquaini ancc, and liad become familiar, and 1 thought he experienced a perceptible pleasure in the bare prouunciation of the sweet word, Rose. in her presencehe seemed entirely happy.but it was a deep still happiness, pcrvading aud filling all his soul. She was pleneed with his attcntions, and smiled when he spoke, but 1 felt sorrowfully that she did not understand or appreriate 1ns dcvotion. She endcd her visit at my father's and returncd home; and then the shadows deepened in Jaspar's eyes, and his manner wa3 more pensive than before. Hose came again.and he eagerly sought hersociety. She was a sweet and tasteful singcr, and he was never wcary oflistening to hernch mclody. She loved a pensive lay and suug with a thrill ing patbos of voice and manner. It seemed to me that his spirit blended with her tones.so that while she sunsr, he was unconscious of his own identity. I had beard of love; and as Rose was singing some tendcr song, I marked tbe rapt earnestncss of his manner, and came to theconclusion thathe certaiuly did love her heart and soul. But wben I sought to analize her feelings I was perplex ed; for althoueh she was kind, eentle, and obliging to him; her eyes wandered carcless ly from him to a wild rose, and from tbe wild rose to his eyes again, without in thc least cnanging their expression, crlingenng on tnc spiritual bcaming that brightencd at her glance. And yet, thought 1, sne must know tbat be worships her, and certainly she en- courages bii horaage. Rose spent much of her time with me, and Jaspar Forbes wasfor- everat ncrside, and she said tbat if a day passed without the gift of his society, she wrote it amongst tne blanks ol ner existence.

It will be changed, not by time, which changes all things man, monuments, States, the great Globe itself; not by time, but by power; not by imperceptible degrces. but ina day; not bya successivc growth, unfolded and urged forward by an org&nic law, an impianteu lorce, a noiseless nnd in- vistble nutrition !rom bencathand from with out, of which every region, every State. takes the risk: but by the dircct action of Gov- crutnent, arbitraiy, violcnt and unjust, of wnicu no part lias cver agrced to takc thc risk.

Is there one man now before me, in lhe first place, who does not believe, ornho does not greatly and ration- ally tear, tbat if Mr. rolk is the next 1'rcsi dent, Texas will come in under the unos- tcntatious and notso very terriblc form of atemtory, ofcourse, in the first mstance, in tivelve mouths unless some great and extraordinary interposition of the people sbould prevcntit? Does any one ifsuch an pnc roay be snpposed among you to nicht who, opposed to Texas, asyou are, has yet a hankering for Mr. Polk, and means to vote for him, if he can obtain the consent of his conscience who wants to vote for Mr. Polk, but shrieks from tbe idea of pto moting Annexatiou does any such one say, oh ! it dou't follo w that, if he is chosen, Tex as will be annexed? Be itso, but does itnot increase the chances of Annexation? Does it not, at least, expose you to the terrible hazard ofbeing compclled hereafter to en counter, by memorial, by convention, by re monstrance, by extreme and extraordinary action, that which you can now pcaceably, innocently, seasonably anticipate and prevent atthepolls? Does not every stock-jobber, and land-jobber, and flesh-jobber who clam ors for Annexation, understand perfectly tbat he aids his objecis by cboosingMr. Polk? Are not those honest geutlemen all on his side, and do they not well know what they are about? Does not Mr. Polk come in, if he comes plcdgedto annex if hc can, and determincd to do it ifhe can? Does he not come in pledged and determined to put in requisition tbe whole vast power of tho Executive the whole vast power oftbe flushed party that elects him, and to effect annexation? Is any man foolish enough to deny thatMr.Van Buren was east overboard, and Mr. Polk nominated, expressly and sole ly that tbe candidate might be.as they exqui sitely expressit, "Texas to the back bone?"

The I ercction of that territory into States will be a very difiercnt undertaking latcr, lessprom- ising, a far more dreadful trial ofthe tiesofi thc Union. Of that I have aomelhingto say hereafter; but I have no doubt whatcver, and I fccl it to bc an urpent duty to declare it' that the territory as territory, will be admit ted in tnelvc months after Mr. Polk's elec tion, unlcss some extraordinary interposition of tbe People, on which I darc not speculate, shall prevonl it. Mr. Choate then procecded to observe upon a lettcr, which he had read in the Na tional Intelligcnccr, signed by sevcn promin eut members ofthe Loco Foco party in New York, includiug the accomplishcd editorof the Evcning Post, in which the writers de clare their purpose of supporting Mr. Polk, but recommend the election of members of Congress "who will reject tbe umvarrantable scheme now pressed on the country." He remarked ou tbe couccssion of thc letter, to wit: "tbat thc Baltimore Convention had placcd tbe Dcmocratic party at thc North in a possition of great diificulty" that it expos ed the party to the constant taunt "that the Convention rrjecUd Mr. Van Buren and nom inated Mr. Polk for rcasons connected with tbe immediate annexation of Texas." that itwentstill farthcr and iutcrpolated into the party creed a new ductnne, hithertounknown among us, at war with some of ourcstablish cd principles, and abhorrent to the opinions and leelings ol a great majonty of Nortliern frcemeu!" And be doubted whether a State which should give its vote for a President nominated solcly for the very purpose of an nexing Texas, would or could, in thc same bread th, elect members of Congress togo and defeat this "schcme" "unifarrantaoe" e nougb, no doubt, but yet thc precise and sin gle "scheme" whicb Mr. Polk was brought forth to accomplish and whether they, or such asthey, who surrendered to the candi date at Baltimore, would be very Hkely to beard and baffle the incumbent at Washing ton. He then resumed : The election ofMr. Polk, tbcn, will, or may probably annex Texas asaterritory. The election of Clay defeaU or postpones it in delinitely. Some persons pretendto doubt or at least seem to deny this. Butdo tbey do him, themselves.or the great subject justice? Read his letter upon this subject ; observe thebroad and permanent grounds ofexclusion which be theresketches; adverttothewell-weighed declaration, tbat so long as any considerable opposition to the measure shall be manifes ted, hc will resist it ; and you cannot fail to see thatunlessyou yourselves, unlcss Mass achusetts, and Vermont and Ohio, sbould whitbdraw their opposition, for his tenu at least, you are safe, and all are safe.

If the election of Mr. Polk, then, may an nex Texas, and that ofMr. Clay defeat or indcfiuitely postpone it, what are thc moral duties of the opponents of Annexation, of allparties? You are a democrat, for cxam ple, aud you would on every other account, tban this of Texas, desire the succcss oftbe Dcmocratic ticket. You are all abolitionists, and wilhout suspecting the success of your ticket, you would desire to give it the ulmost practicablo appearance of growth &strcngth. But can you in sensc and fairncss say that all the other good wbich even on your princi ples, the election of Mr. Polk, or the cxhibi tion ofa growing vote for Mr. Birney would accomplish, or all tbe othcrevils which eith er of tbese results would prcveut, would coin pcnsate for the various and the transcendent cvil of Aunexation? Can you doubt when you calmy weigh all the other good which you achieve by effecting your object, against the mischief you do by Annexation, can you doubt that the least th'Hg which youowc your conscience, your country, the utmost which pridc and consistcncy have a right to exact of you, is neutralily ? You will uot say, for iustance, that you believe, a mere postponment of Dcmocratic asccndaucy for fivc years will pcrmancntly and irreparibly impair tbe Constitulion and the prospcrity of our Country, or bereave her ofa ray of her glory? She cau endure so long, even you do not doubt, the cvil oftbe politics which you disapprovc. Shc can afford to wait so long, even you will admit, for the politics nhich you prcfer. But thc cvil of Auuexation is as immediate as irretrievable, and as etctnal as it iscnormous! Time terms of Prcsidcutial olfice, ages instead of bealing, will but dis play, will but exaspcratc, the immci'ical-'e wonnd. Ycs, ycs.

More than that, no man cau be certain that he secs or knows.

Thc meaus wesee are cvil. Tbe first effect is evil. Tbe cnd is tmccrtain. But, ifit were certain and were good. we may not do evil that good may come.
