God help and shield the motherless, The stricken, bleeding dove, For whom there gushes no rich fount Of deep and deathless love ! The saddest titles grief confers— For whoso lone as they, Upon whose path a mother’s love Sheds not its holy ray? No gentle form above them bends To soothe the couch of pain; No voice so fond as her’s essays To calm the feverish brain. Oh! other tongues may whisper love In accents soft and mild: But none on earth so pure as that A mother bears her child ! Judge kindly of the motherless; A weary lot is theirs, And oft the heart the gayest seems, A load ot sorrow bears. No faithful voice directs their stops, Off-bids them onward press; “And if they gang a kennin wrung,” God help the motherless ! And when the sinful and the frail, Thd tempted and the tried, Unspotted one! shall cross thy path, Oh! spurn them not aside. Thou knowest not what thou hadst been With trials even less; And when thy lips would vont reproach, Think, they were motherless ! A blessing on the motherless, Where’er they dwell on earth, Within the home of childhood, Or at the stranger’s hearth! Blue he the sky above their heads, And bright the sun within; Oh! God protect the motherless, »And keep them free from sin ! Correspondence of Newark Daily Advertiser. The Delights of Cuban Travel. Matanzas Jan. 21. Were it not that “sweets to the sweet” might prove a sort of surfeit, I should be tempted to send you a closed vase, full of the balmy, fragrant air of this sweet clime of Ind; and, for ornament, the Cuban groves should furnish rich stores of “ flowers and evergreens. With 'Beauty's blandishments thy sense to tire/’ To you of the frozen north, how delight ful would prove, just now, the importation of a tropical, island-breeze, laden to ful ness with its soft incense, scattering orange blossoms on your whiter white snow fields, and wooing the cold Nor Wester to awarmer humor;—changing bleak January into laughing June. What think you ofthe hour of 6 1-2 for rising? Yet all the world of Matanzas are up, and dressed by 7. From that hour until 10, is the only time, during the day, that exer cise is endurable for us pale faces, and then the cool air of the early morning is so delicious and so refreshing. It gives a man a new, daily lease of life; forfeited omy, by breaking the covenant, which nature insists upon, of keeping in-doors •during the heat of the day. The trades, at this season, blowing steadily from the blue Gulf, come freight ed with the invigorating airs of ocean; the atmosphere is clear, and lor the last few cays, the sky cloudless and serene. You can revel in all the mildness of July weather dress as thin as taste, fancy, or •inclination prompt—fan yourself into a doze any time during the day—eat (if Y° u can)Jazily, and as indolently as a i oatrap of Scinde—take your cafe noir, smoke cigarettes, and go volanta-riding j<m the Paseo, gazing as impudently as you choose upon the dark, creole Senori- tas. This is wasteful indolence according to our notions, the height of pleasure with Ithe Cubans. H ith all these climate beauties, let me Ruira ^• tner * cans not to visit Cuba for H health or pleasure. The discomforts far, g: ar ®*® ee d» all that is pleasurable ofnovel- |ty, climate, or scenery. To the man of the iworld, seeking amusement, or the travel ler student, he fast place is Cuba; you can find hut, few of the excitements of the great American, or continental cities. In Havana, an opera, a bull-fight, cock-fight ing and masquerades; these comprise the stranger’s pleasure. You see none of the galleries of the Old World;—none ofthe charms that the fine arts there, with open hand, throw in noble profusion to feast the eye and elevate the taste. None of the classical and historical associations of that Italy, whose princes, once the lords and conquerors of the world, have left beliind them monuments of the far time, at whose ruined shrines the scholar kneeis,and pays his reverent homage to those groat of old, . Whose spirit* rule us from their urns.” 4 No grand, majestic scenery. No al- [ )ine mountains or castellated rivers, no akes that sleep in tranquil, azure beau ty, no cities filled with the wonders of man’s creative genius. Were it not that Cuba is called civilized, I should write, that the islanders are but a remove from Greece and the Greeks. Enlightened they are not, never will be, until the Anglo- American takes, with the strong hand, or by purchase, this fertile island from the withering rule of Spain. ’Tis bad enough lor the well, worse for the invalid, in Havannn. Once out ol that city, and farewell to all the comforts and luxries so necessary to those who are accustomed to American living. The roads are bad—the railway scircu- itous, dusty, and dreadfully fatiguing in their slow speed, and the station-houses, mere sheds where refreshments fit only for do'gs can be procured. The steamboats that ply around the coast, small and bad ly appointed. The country inns—why, you ride up to one, trot your horse into the room on the first floor, and eat and drink Irom the saddle. Horses, mules, volantas, cows and negroes, are packed at night, indiscriminately, below stairs, whilst above, a mattrass and a pillow are luxuries seldom procurable. Here, at Matanzas, the boarding-house is certainly one of the best on the island, and yet a single-bedded room is out of the question; a mattrass and pillow stuffed with cotton, were given to part of us as a special favor; carpet, rugs or matting, figments of the fancy, and the furniture such as one would buy, if on his last legs, at a pawn-broker’s. As for the bed-rpoms, we call them dens, strong holds of mosquitos; were it not for mos quito bars, we should be devoured. Four of us, of the male gender have been oc cupying the dining room for the last few nights, and this custom of economy of room is quite the thing on the island. As for eating, eggs and rice, fish and bread, fruits and dolces, are about the only articles safe to indulge in. The meats are just fit for a Cuban, vegetables are not much better, butler is grease,garlic broth is called soup, tea you’d suspect, nay swear, never saw China, and with sugar all aronnd you, it may be sweet, but ’tis many removes from white. Oh! asNumposays, “ fora good, fat leg of mutton, all stuck round with turnips ;” Pd compromise for a dinuer atL.’e, the very thought of which makes me envy those of my friends who are habitues of the place. Truly, truly, it is a miserable country forcomfort.no place for the invalid. Take an unprejudiced and somewhat ex perienced, traveller’s word for it, that all the glowing sketches of Cuba and the Spaniards, must be taken as applying only to the charming climate God has given them, and to the fertile soil that trop ical sun warms into most luxuriant pro ductiveness. Imposition and double-dealing, per vade the high and the low. Ounces are openly administered to bribe officials, and smuggling is a regular trade. In pur chasing or hiring, a bargain is always necessary, the price demanded, being invariable, double the value of the- article or service. Extortion, i n every shape, by public officers, is practised up on the stranger, and such a thing as re dress unknown. The highest price, of fered for luxuries and accommodations of living, (in our sense of the words) fails to procure what, really, is not pro curable, The negroes, generally, know one thing well, (their fashion.) One can c ook. another wash, a third brush your coal, and a fourth your boots; beyond this ’tis almost useless to attempt to make them understand, they are too dumb to be tought more than one kind of employ ment—to a-indolent to perform it if they could. The field slaves are kept active by the lash, and do their work different ly- The Creole population lack energy and true manhood. They are generally ig norant, (with exceptions ol course) ap pear pusillanimous and are seldom well formed. I have not seen a sturdy, pow erful man amongst them. The large ma jority are strongly in fnvor of the “annex ation of Cuba,” and hate the Spaniards with a bitter hate. There isnodoudt, at this moment, a movement in the U. S ; aiming ar the ac quisition of Cuba by violence. It is the opinion of sensible men in Havana, natives of the island, that a few thousand men would effect such an object—and so dis gusted have I become with Spanish rule and Spanish character, that I fervently hope such an expedition will succeed. Under our hands, it would become civiliz ed, ten times more productive, lree from monstrous exactions upon trade, rid of its hosts of viperous officials, and it is the key to the Gull of Mexico. Let us get it by purchase or negociation, fairly and honorably, i( possidle. These views may sound strange to your readers, but nine- tenths ql them would agree with me, were they here to see Cuba as she is. Yours, &c. S.

BY JOHN M COOPER, EDITED BY W. T. THOMPSON, Author of “ Major Jones' Courtship," “Chronicles of Pincvillt:,” “ Sketches of Travel," tye- §c. Experience has proven both the practicability and usefulness of tlie penny Press. Within the few years past all the Northern and Eastern cities, as well ns most of those South and West of us, have been sup plied with papers of this description, whose small di mensions enable their publishers to issue them at a price solow as to place them within the reach of all, and thus to make them the bestmediuins for the gen eral diffusion of information on jail subjects bearing upon the interests,of community. By cheapening the Press, all have been participants in its benefits, while the publishers and conductors, by a greatly increased patronage,have been made amply remunerated for their expenditure of capital and labor. Believing that the glowing prosperity of Savannah authorizes, and that her interests demand the estab lishment of a cheap commercial and news medium, we have determined to publish the Daily Morning News as nearly as possible upon the plan of the penny PreaB of the Northern cities. Tho Morning News will bo emphatically a Com mercial Newspaper, devoted to the diffusion cf useful information on ail subjects of popular.interest, and to the advancement of City and State interests, gener ally ; preserving at all times a strictly neutral and independent position in regard to Politics and Parties. Arrangements have been made for giving the paper all the facilities enjoyed by -the best Daily Papers, and no pains willbe spared to make it satisfactory in all its departments, and to give it tlie character of a res pectable, useful, and reliable Journal. In view of the great advantages which must result to the citizens and business man from the establishment of such a paper in Savannah, tve feel that we may ask and safely oount upon a liberal support. Terms.—The Daily Morning News will be issued and served to subscribers at $4, per annnm, payable half yearly, in advance ; or, 10 Cents porweek, pay able to tho Carriers. Savannah, January, 1850.

OOOPER- jan 19 P ROFESSOR BARRY'S TRI- COPHEROUS, or MEDICATED COM POUND—Infallible for renewing, invigorating, and beautifying the HAIR, removing Scurf, Dandruff, and all affections of the Sculp, and curing eruptions on tho Skin, Diseases of the Glands, Muscles and Integuments, and reliev ing Stings, Cuts, Bruises, Sprains, &c. &c.— With this Preparation, “there is no such word as fail.” The first journal in America, medi cal men of the highest eminence, prominent citi zens, of till professions, and ludies who have used it for years, in their dressing rooms and nur series, admit with one accord, that, for impart- ing vigor, gloss, luxuriance and curl to the hair eradicating scurf and dandruff, healing wounds curing contusions, sprains, stings, &c., and re lieving diseases of tlie skin, tho glur.ds, and the muscles, it 1ms no equul among the multitude of compounds advertised in the public prints, or used in private practice. In cheapness as well as efficacy, Barry's Tricophnrous is un rivalled. The immense cash sales of tho arti cle, have enabled the inventor to supply it at retail, at 25 cents per bottle, which is from fifty to one hundred per cent less, than the price of any other preparation for tho lrnir now in use. The scientific treatise on the hair and tho skin, (embracing valuable directions for tho culture and preservation ot Nature’s choicest orna ment,) in which each bottle is enclosed, is alone worth tlie money. Tho affinity between the membranes which ennstituo the skin,-and the hair which draws its sustenance from this triplo envelope, is very close All diseases of tho hair originate in the skin of the head. If the pores of the scalp arc clogged, or if the blood and other fluids do not circulate freely through the small vessels which feed the roots with moisture, and im part life to the fibres, the result is scurf, dund- (uff, shedding of their hair, grayness, dryness, and harshness of tho ligaments, and entire baldness, us the case may be. Stimulate the skin to heaPhful action with tho Trieopherous, und the torpid vessels, recovering their activity, will annihilate the disease. In all affections of the skin, and of tho substrata of muscles and integuments, the process and the effect are the same. It is upon the skin, the muscular fibres, and the glands, that tho Trieopherous has its specific action, and in all affections and injuries of these organs, it is a sovereign remedy.
