SATURDAY EVENING Sweet to the soul the parting ray Which ushers placid evening in, When, with the still expiring day. The peaceful Sabbath's hours begin; How grateful to tho anxious breast The sacred hours of holy rest! 1 love the blush of vernal bloom, ’ When morning gilds night's sullen fear; And dear to me the mournful gloom Of autumn, sabbath of the year; Bat purer pleasures, joys sublime. Await the dawn of holy time. Hushed is the tumult of the day, And worldly cares and business cease, While the soil vesper breexes play, To hymn the glad return of peace; O seasons blest! O moments given To turn tho vagrant thoughts to heaven! What though involved in lorid light. The loveliest forms of nature fade. Yet 'mid gloom shall heavenly light With joy the contrite heart pervade; O, then, great Source of light divine, With beams ethereal gladden mine! Oil as this hallowed hour shall come, O raise my thoughts from earthly tilings, And bear them to my heavenly home On living faith’s immortal wings,— Till tho last gleam of life decay In one eternal sabbath day I MISCELLANY. WRITING. The following report of the Committee on Writing, was presented at the last ses sion of the Albany City and County Ly ceum, and unanimously adopted: The Committee on Writing would res pectfully submit the following report: We are aware that there is a great di- versity-of opinion on the subject of the proper nge for children to commence writing—the best mode of leaching—and the bSst books to use in the accomplish ment of this object. We think the labor of the teacher is not unfrcquently increased, and his patience taxed, by ullowing his pupils to commence writing at too early an age, in order to satisfy the idle fancy of many who have a strong desire that their children should “ walk before they arc able to creep.” We consider that the age of eight or ten years is sufficiently young for pupils to commence this important branch of edu cation ; and not even at this early age would we recommend writing in books, unless they have previously learned to form letters on a slate or blackboard, which will facilitate them much in their advancement. This can be done, while the larger pupils of the school are engaged in writing. Let the teacher write on the blackboard a copy of letters, words or a sentence, as he may deem proper; then require the youliger pupils to write from this on their slates or on the board ; and in this way, he may be able to accomplish in a short lime, what would require months with books, and thus avoid the censure that patents frequently heap upon teach ers, in “allowing their chilren to waste paper.” We would farther recommend a system of writing bulks, requiring at the outset inuili muscular discipline; a card con taining an intelligible hand, should lie furnished for the use of the pupils; also that the undivided attention of the teach er, during a portion of each day, if prac ticable, should lie devoted to writing. The old pmclicr, of the teacher wriling copies, may not be exceptionable where llie school is not loo large; hut where the pupils range from sixty to one hundred, the teacher is necessurily obliged to re lieve himself by substituting hooks with arranged copies. All of which is respectfully submitted. A. T. BALDWIN, Chairman of Committee. BEGIN RIGHT. Arc you just stepping on the tlircsh- hold of life r Secure a good moral charac ter. This is the basis of success and true greatness. Without virtue your cannot lie respected; without integrity you can never rise to distinction and honor. \nu ute poor, perhaps. No matter. Poverty is oltcncr u blessing than a curse. Look nl the young man who is heir to half s million. What is his standing ? Of vvliat use is he to the world ? You must make yourself. The richest tnan in Maine was Ixirn of poor parents and earned by hard work the first dollar he ever owned. The wealthiest man in Massachusetts, was born in North Yarmouth, n small town in that (tale, of parents who were in humble circumstances. By industry and econo my, lie has become immensely rich. The Wealthiest man of New York, and the riche sf man in America, was also a prior buy. The road to wealth is open Indore you, young man. Start right nod you will succeed. But remember wealth is ndl everything in life—it is not tnan chief good. A virtuous character is bet ter than riches. Expect not success where firm integrity is wanted. Shape your course by true wisdom, nnd let correct principle govern every action. In this wny only you will gain the confidence ana respect of mankind. You know ma ny a wealthy man, perhaps, who is des-> ptsed by his fellow citizens. Why is :l so? On account of niggardly disposition —bis lack of upright dealing and robust principle. He makes himself obnoxious to his neighbors, by his mean babavior and grovelling character. You had bet ter live in poverty than imitate such person. Riches with a destitution of mo ral principles, would be only a curse to you. There i* nothing like making a good beginning as your start in life. The foun dation must be firm: then all will be safe. Have an eye about you that nothing shall •educe your virtue. No matter bow strong the inducements held out for your countenance, it you see that principle .is involved, do not for a right band persist in wmng doing. Present gain, at the sacrifice of virtue, will be future loss and misery. Tens of thousand have ruined themselves by such a course. Be ex tremely careful then to begin right, and do your duty carefully, and you must as suredly succeed.—Atari. We are informed that the Rev. Dr. Bichaxd Full®a has accepted the pas- tatnl charge of the Wentworth street Bap tist Church in ibis city—without, bowtsv- «r, relinquishing his connexion with the Church in Bean fort., His • place here, whenever be may be absent, will be sup- ffcd hy theRev.

Thera is no habit more important for persons to become firmly estab- in, than that ol depending upon themselves. He who depends upon ano ther to do the work that in the orderings of Providence has been allotted to him, leans upou a broken reed. All men love the tnan who is able and willing to help himself just in proportion as he needs it not. Neither do we find fault with this. It is a kindred principle to that laid down in the scriptures—“ To him that hath shall be given, but to him that hath not ahull be taken away, even the little that he hath.’’ It is a kindred paradox to that which says that, “ you must first put the world and its pleasures under your feet, before you can truly enjoy them.” And to that which declares, “ would you be happy ? make another happy.” ' But to come back to our subject.— There is no way so sure of getting the assistance of your fellow men as not to need it. Show them that you can do without it—then, if they chouse to offer help, accept it. In this way you will also preserve your independence and self- respect. And you can do it. Ii is not for the want of the way, but the will, that men cannot get along. Be resolute, be determined, and the giants that oppose you shall dwindle into pigmies. You dread to begin at some work iliul lies be fore you—it is all nonsense, a foolish dreail; and you, yourself, know it. You know by old experience, that once reso lutely taken bold of with the two strong hands of a man, it is hut a child in your grasp. See you even play with it, you loss it hither and thither when you once liegin, as uii ox tosseth the hay with his horns. Then, young man, young woman, start ing out into the great highway of the world, inscribe one maxim upon tby heart of hearts—Rely upon thyself. If you want a thing done, doit! Ifynu want to know what course to take in any emer gency—know it! God gave yoj a brain and a tongue, not to register other |,eo- pfe’s thoughts and to ask advice exclu sively, but to investigate lor yourself and to command. _Askjtdvjce. but do not take it because it is advice, hut because by thought you have made it your own, uild found it true. In this way you shall become of a noble nature, and be ac knowledged “ a man among men.”— Seal i Saturday Gazette. From GoJj's Magazine and Leifs’ Boot. TO AN ABSENT WIPE. _ From dewy morn to allent no We think and talk of her— And now we are resol red to tend ' This little messenger. Go to the absent loved one—say, Low whispering in her ear, How happy we would be again If she were only here. Tell her we are “ no lonesome" now, And daily miss her to; Though all too late we ask oorsclves, “How could we let her go?” And say we miss her at the board, In her accustomed chair. And round our quiet little heurth, And in the house of prayer. Tell her if she is only blest, That we will not complain; Bot every hour will teem in age, Until we meet again. And ray we wish her health and joy— And don’t forget to tell. That in her distant western home, Thoogh lonely, “ all la well.” THE EMIGRATING MORMONS. The Hancock Engle, in. its sheet of the 10th of April, gives the following imclli- if, at this particular time reprehensible ic the highest degree. Every Mormon who can dispose of bis home—even at a ruin ous sacrifice—is anxious to leave; and these attempts to detract tram the value of property, is calculated to retard and defeat the consummation of n measure earnestly desired by all panic*. There is not a point on the river where comfort able residences and improved lands can the width of the Everglades, from my own personal knowledge or observation. As 1 coasted along tho eastern shore the view to the west of us was obstructed by n number of small keys and islands. Some of these, at the distance which lsaw them, appeared to be covered with mangroves— others were nothing more than grass knolls; some contained pine trees, end a lew the palmetto and cocoa not, whilst the shore appeared to be fringed w ith cypress.

Its local advantages, a3 a trading and man ufacturing town, renders an investment here at present prices, safe and sure.— This fact we shall demonstrate hereaf ter. Extensive preparations are making for the departure of the next Mormon detach ment. They will probably get offin about three weeks, and will muster in consider able force. The draft upon travelling vehicles has I teen so great that they are now scarce and in high demand. Most 'of the artifi cers in wood and iron are busily engaged in tinkering up wagons foremigraling out fits.

Dr. Macgnwnn, Missionary of the Ame rican Baptist Board of Missions, has writ ten a letter to Dr. Cone, of New York, which is published in the New York Re order, in which he expresses the opinion that the time will come when the emigra tion of Chinese to the American States will tie extensive. Hi - language is—“It is not unreasonable to anticipate that an emigration from China to America will yet take place, equal. to, if not greater than any that has been known from Eu rope. I venture to pretlii t that the pop ulation of the Pacific Stales will be com posed in no small measure of Chinese.— A channel once opened, vast multitudes from that over-populated country will wend their way thither. Viewed in this light, the American Mission to China can not fail to uvvaken increased interest at home.” . NEW ORLEANS PICAYUNE. They tell n good story at Northampton, Mass, about the editor of the New Orleans Picayune. He stopped at the stage house, with the intention of spending some days in that beautiful town. After a reasonable time he became dry, and call ed fora glass of brandy. ‘No,’ says the landlord, ‘we have no license to sell spir its, we don’t keep the article.’ The editor visited the other public houses—looked into the groceries and cellars, made close inquiries, but found them teetotallers.— He returned to the stage bouse with a long face—‘Landlord,’ says he, ‘tell me the nearest place where I can get a glass of brandy, for I’m too dry to slay here any longer, *1 guess you can get it at Green field, for they grant licenses there, and it is said they sell spirits.’—‘How far is it ?* ‘Twenty miles.’ ‘What time does the stage start? 1 ‘Twelve o’clock at night. Veil, landlord, book me for Greenfield.’ So it has grown into a proverb in that part of Massachusetts, that when one calls for liquor, he says, ‘Book me for Green field,’ and when he is corned he is said to be ‘Booked for Greenfield.’ Here is a pleasant story from Wal pole’s correspondence. It seduced us into a hearty laugh when we were very dull und far from cheerful. Perhaps it may have a similar effect upon some temporarily lugubrious reader “ 1 must udd a curious story, which I believe will surprise your Italian surgeons as much as it has amazed the faculty here. A sailor who hud broken his leg was ad vised to communicate his case to the Roy- al Society. The account he gave was, that having fallen from the top of the mast and fractured his leg, lie had dres sed it with nothing but lur and oakum, and yet in three days was able to walk as well as before the accident. The story al first appeared incredible, as no such efficacious qualities were known in tar, and still less in oakum; nur was a poor sailor to bo credited on his own bare as sertion of so wonderful u cure. The so ciety very reasonably demanded a fuller relation, and, I suppose the corroboration of evidence. Many doubted whether the leg had been really broken. That part ot tho story had been amply verified Still it was difficult to believe that the man had made use of no other applica tions than tar and oakum; und how they should cure a broken leg in three duys, even it they could cure it at all, was a mailer of the utmost wontler. Several letters passed between the society and the patient, who persevered iu the most solemn asseverations of having used no other remedies, and it does appear be- ? ond a doubt that the man spoke true, t is a little uncharitable, but I fear there are surgeous who might not like this al>- brevialion of attendance and expense; but on the other hand, you will be charm ed with the plain, honest simplicity ot the sailor. In a postscript to his last let ter he added these words; ‘‘1 forgot to tell your honors that tho leg was a wood en one.”. A TRADE OF WIVES. The Huntington (Pa.) Globe thus de scribee a trade in wives, which recently took place in Blair county, which is a pretty fair start in the line matrimonial for a new county; “The trade took place between Mr. T. and Mr. D. in a written article of agreement, the latter paying the former the following articles, general ly denominated as “boot”: two dollars in cash, three gallons of whiskey, two pounds of smoking tobacco, one pair of shoes, one the Emperor. Afr. Allen.—Senator Allen, of Ohio, has been nominated for President at the next election, by the Democrats of St. Clair Illinois.—Old Dominion. The Count St. Leon, the illegitimate son of Napoleon, by the Countess of Lux embourg, remarkable in Paris only for being strikingly like his parent in features, and unlike him in menial capacity, hav ing in a course of unmitigated licentious ness dissipated an immense fortune left him by his father, has just instituted a suit against bis mother, and compelled her to pay him $1200 per annum out of hell crowned bat, such as eras the fashion an annuity of $6,000, bequeathed her by when Adam eras a boy, and several on- mentionable trifles. On conclusion of the agreement the: wives changed places, leaving behind all their moveable effects, including the children, and established themselves in their new homes. The parties are in moderate circumstance.” company of Mormons now on their way to the country beyond the Rocky Moun tains call themselves: A mail carrier arrived here on Monday last from the Camp, and reported the lioneer party, or head of the column, as laving crossed the tributaries of the Char iton river, over one hundred and fifty miles distant. By this time they arc probably on the bunks of llie Missouri. Thus far, every tiling bus gone favora bly, with the exception of llie breaking down of a lew overladen wagons. The party is in good health and spirits—no dissentions exist, and the ‘Grand Cara van’ moves on slowly, b it steadily and peacefully. Their progress has been materially retarded by the want of fodder for their live slock; the grass not having fairly started, reduced them to the neces sity of laboring for the farmers on the uitt-to supply i ho deficiency. They travel in detached companies, from five to ten miles apart, und, in point of order, resemble a military expedition. We visited the camp before it broke up, on the opposite side of the river, and, with other strangers, were highly inter ested in the romantic and exciting display of border enterprise. It bore the appearance of a moveable town; tbc wagons and tents being arrang ed on either, sidu of large streams, and public squares left for the cattle, as we see in some of our river cities. Tutler- sals never turned out a lot of such broken down nags ns are to be found attached to this expedition. If they ever reach California, their de pendence must be partly upon, slow trav elling and partly upon rairaetc— but chiefly upou the latter. Our visit was made during the intense ly cold weather of February, and not withstanding the tents were blocked in by snow drifts and their occupants sub ject to the rigor of n hyperborean tempest, the scene presented a cheerful and ani mated as|>cct. We ventured to express our surprise, that notwithstanding the severity of the weather and their apparent luck of house hold conveniences, that such a manifes tation of hilarity should every where pre vail. A Mormon philosopher satisfied us on this point by saying, that “their good spirits was their chief dependence and pretty much all they had to rely upon for comfort.” He might have stolen this doctrine from Hamlet, but at any rate, deserves credit for the practice of it. If the Mormons do not suffer tone before they reach California, we are net gifted with the spirit of prophecy. It is the intention of at least some of the companies that leave this spring, to ball in the valley of the Sweet-water Riv er, and put in a crop for the subsistence of themselves and others who may fol low. Numbers are now on their way from the Eastern Stales to join the expedi tion. The same paper in a previous article gives the following account of the state of things in Hancock county_ As for as we can learn, all is tranquil in this county—the result, in some degree of the precautions adopted by Major War ren, and of the untiring vigilance of this able officer and the troops at bis disposal. The gallant major and bis command arc richly entitled to the thanks of the people for their efficient services; and, as they get but little else as a reward, so far as we are concerned, the meed of praise, so justly their due, shall not be wi teld. The “orders” issued a few weeks ago seem to have had a salutary effect. The changes that an taking place here, go on quietly and in a proper spirit. We perceive that efforts are being made in a certain quarter, to depredate the val- conveyances, operate as a material draw back upon their progress; in addition to which, they are compelled to halt every few miles nnd work for the formers on the route, in order to procure fodder for their live stock. The grass not having fairly started, entails upon them the nec essity of providing a substitute, for which they pay in labor. They arc in good spir its, uml work together harmoniously. No discord exists in the camp and thus for all has gone favorably. The masons will resume operations on the Nauvoo house in a few weeks, and hasten t hat magnificent structure to a spee dy completion. When finished, it will surpass any edi fice of the kind in the stale, lor lieauty of location architectural design and extent of accommodations. From the Charleston Evening Atari. REMINICENCES OF FLORIDA. BY A LATE BESIDENT. Having secured the Indian John and his ennoe, ui 50 cents per diem, together with a little whiskey and his food, lie en gaged to be my guide into the Everglades, tie launched his boat, hoisted his sail, and placed himself at the stern with his paddle os steersman. The boat being sinull, 1 had to occupy the bow with my gun and ammunition, directing my steers man to stop on the way at llie house of “ mine ancient hostess” for the baggage and provisions which had been left. IVe crept along the shore until we reached the mouth of the Miami River, which we entered.— This river empties itself into the gulf at or Dear Cape Florida, and arises from the Ev erglades Its course being about N. E., its depth from six to eight feel above the then level. It must be remembered however that the water was low. After proceeding some two or three miles, the river forked, one branch going to the right, in a course about E. N. E., whilst (he left branch pro ceeded more Northerly. John, the Indian, asked me what course to take, for the Ev erglades, or the Falls of the Miami I On my indicniinglhc Falls, ho took the branch which led to the right. After paddling some (wo or three miles, we discovered the Fulls, w'liich was a small sheet of water, flowing quietly^ver a rock some five or six feel above the level upon which we floated; on cither side of the river we enw wine small hammocks, the trees being neither very large nor majestic. The higher points of la * - ' • ‘ ’and,” which were sandy, contained S rowth of pines and some saw palmetto. ly guide having informed me that the tide was too low to proceed by this route be yond tho Falls wc returned back to the fork, and took the branch which led in a more Northerly direction. Proceeding in Ibis course some six or eight miles, perhaps u little more, we opened the Everglades. By the Everglades is meant, an immense tract of country lying in the middle of the Southern portion of the peninsula. At cer tain seasons the whole of this region is laid under wuter, excepting of course, the high er points of land, which then constitute w many islands. The extent of ibis lake, for w it may be called, under such circumstan ces, is unknown, at least was w at the time I visited it. It is to be hoped that the expe ditions of our land and naval forces, during the late Indian war, will furnish us wme information on the subject which we do not possess, and which no doubt would be use ful. A captain of a wrecking vessel told mo he entered it once al high water, and ■oiled in a fast boat for three day in a Nor therly direction, with n fair wind, without being able to discover any bounds in that direction. I have abo nearil of another party starting from New River and sailing West for two days, without being able to discover any bounds in that direction. The Indians traverse these Everglades in nil points with their canoes^ and nave many islands upon which they have small towns and plantations. The depth of water va. ries at different points and in different sea sons. We coasted along the eastern shore and found the water from three to five feet deep. I hare been told, however, thal in some place* it is as deep at ten or twelve feeL In the shoal pnrta the bottom ap- Everglades l . lands which contained plenty of pine trees. ' The Everglades are bounded on the rat. tern side by a ridge of high sandy land.— The growth upon this land consists pnnei. pally of pines and saw palmettos, and in some few places, particularly on the bor ders of tho rivers flowing into the sea, of narrow strips of live oak hammock, and oc casionally a few hickories and cabbage palmettos are met with. The western boundary consists in part of a similar neck of land, interrupted at inter, vals with mangrove islands. To the south it extends nearly to Cape Florida, whilst its northern boundary i» unknown. In this direction however it is supposed to termin ate in lagoons and cypress swamps. The extent, both as to length and w idth, must vary in proportion to site quantity of water, the descent from the shores to the middle of the Everglades is very gradual, in eonte places not more than two or three inches to the mile, so that a rise of the water of six or eight inches in depth would inundate the country for miles. The idea has been started, and with some considerable degree of plnusability, that it might be possible to drain the Everglades by clearing the ob structions of the short rivers which connect them with the ocean. This bow ever, cap only be accomplished by ascertaining their comparative level with that of the sea. At present (he Everglades are filled with fresh water, and should they be below the senj the clearance of obstructions and opening greater communications, by permittit g the free ingress of the sea, would inundate them with salt water, and thereby destroy all the fresh water productions existing in them. From the dominion of the waters there, nodoubt exists millions of rich heavy bottom lands in this watery region, wlio-h would be capable of producing the heaviest kinds of crops, and from the temperature of the climate would perhaps yield a larger crop of sugar than any other portion of our southern country. I have been informed that during the expedition against the Indi ans by Col. Harney, an island was discov ered in the Everglades, which was coveted with cocoa nuts growing wild. I am Imp. >y to perceive that some proposition hns >ecn made in Congress to make a thorough exploration of this portion of our territory, which should it be adopted, will give us some light concerning a section of country of which wc know little or nothing, and which will no doubt yield some rich and valuable specimens in the various depart ments ol Natural History.

From every quarter, immigrants arc crowding into the .peninsula with the intention of developing the vast resources which its rich soil and tropical climate afford.— large planters and smnll, rich and poor, are all resolved to try their fortune in the New State, and to those conversant with the advantage here offered, there is no doubt oflhe immense success which await industry and perseverance. For the agriculturist, there is no limit to the display orhis energies. The poor est soils can be made as available as the best of the North. The fiinest and most valuable Sea Island cotton growe all over the peninsula. By late advices Itom Germany, the Florida tobacco brings f rices.rcaching to one dollar per pound, mmense tracts of the finest sugar laud in the world, are open to the wealthy plan ter. The insect which fortnelv infested the ornnge tree is begining to disnp|a nr, and to the indolent, the care of plniring an orange or lime grove, will lie richly repaid in a few years. From Enleipriso on the St. Johns to Cape Florida, the le mon, the lime, the banana, the citron, and the orange grow spotnueously and witlt- out care. To those who have ruliitaud the cold sods of the North, and who can enjoy a tropical winter, what country ran offer greater inducements for settlement ? Moreover a new field for the exercise of indursiry has been opened in the turnii g of poor pine land to profit by the manu facture of turpentime. We have before noticed the experiment of Cnpt. L. En gle near this place, and we hope snou u» lay before our readers the result of his at tempt. Enough ha* been already dis covered to show that the business is iim mensely profitable, and numbers are ma king arrangments to enter into it the com ing season. To industry there is noth ing unattainable in our climate, and are trust that the attention of those seeking a new home, will continue to be direclecf to Florida «a well as to Texas and the wes tern States. . pears to be covered with long rank grass, ue of 4 real estate hero, and discourage J w |,j c h in some places was to thick as to strangers fronritardstiqli Tbifi diapoai- impede the programed our boat.\ This w lion to throwobstaidel in the way of mak- called by the pecqdehnwm graaw I could ing sales (to say nothing of its dishonesty) | of course, form no probable estimate of Important to Ladies.—A new mile) glass has been invented in England cal led the “Victoria toilet,” which in addi tion to glass, at uanal in the back j-art has a glass on either side fif the toilet.
