The Sandwich Island paper says: How touching is this tribute of the late Hon.

T.H.Benton to his mother's influence:--'My mother asked me never to use tobacco; I have never touched it from that time to the present day.

She asked me not to gamble, and I have never gambled.

I cannot tell who is losing in games that are being played.

She admonished me, too, against liquor-drinking, and whatever capacity for endurance I have at present, and whatever usefulness I may have attained through life, I attribute to having complied with her pious and correct wishes.
