Words are lighter thaa the cteod-forat U..
Os therestloss ocean spray ;, ‘ - :
Vainer than the trembling shadow
That the next hoar steals away.
By the fall of sammor raindrops
la the air aa deeply syi rr’d;
And the rose-leaf that we tKwd on
Will outlive a word.
Yet on the dull silence breaking
With a lightning flash, a word
Bearing endless dcssolation
On its blighting wings, I heard.
Earth can forego no keeper weapon
Dealing and pain,
And the cruel echo answer'd
Through long yean again.
I have known one word hang star-Mm
O'er a dreary waste of years.
And it only shone the brighter
Look'd at through a mist of tear*;
While a weary wanderer gathered
Hope and hearten life's dark way,
By its faithful promise shining
Clearer day hy day.
I have known a spirit calmer
Than the calmest lake, and clear
As the heaven that gazed upon it,
With no wave of hope or fear: ‘
* * \?T yshi
But a storm had swept across it,
And its deepest depths were stirr’d
Never, never more to slumber,
Only by a word.
I have known a word more gentle
Than the breath of summer air, .
In a listening heart it nestled,
And it lived forever there, i •
Not the beating of its prison
Stirr’d it ever, night or day;
Only with the heart's last throbbing
Could it fade away.
Words are mighty, words are living
Serpents with their venomous sting;
Or bright angels crowding round ns
With heaven’s light upon their wings:
Every word has its own spirit,
True or false, that never dies;
Every word mau's lips have utter’d
Echoes in God’s skies.
r i CHABITY.
When you meet with one suspected
Os some secret deed of shame,
And for this by all rejected
Asa thing of evil fame;
Guard thine every look and action,
Speak no word of heartless blame.
For the slanderer’s vile detraction
Yet may soil tliy goodly name.
When yon meet with one pursuing
Ways the lost have entered in,
Working out bis own undoing,
. With hii rccklessness aiid sin;
Think if placed in his condition, ‘ v
Would a kind word be in vaiu ?
Or a look of cold suspicion
Win thee back to truth again,?
There are spots that bear no flowers.
Not became the soil is bad,
But the summer’s genial showers
Never make tbsir blossoms glad ;
Better have an set that’s kindly
Treated sometimos with disdain,
Than by judging other* kindly,
D,/om the innocent to pain.

DO LONG FACES INDICATE PIBTTt
The. erroneous idea that a man or woman,
in order to be a Christian, should creep
throgli the world with a long, solemn face, is
fast wearing out and cannot be gone too soon.
What a sad mistake it is to suppose thnt a
man should bo gloomy because he is devout,
as if misery were acceptable to God on its
own account, and happiness an offence against
his dignity. A modern writer of tmteh wis
dom and pith of writing, says:
“ There is a secret belief among some men
that God is displeased with men’s happiness,
and so they slink about creation ashamed
and afraid to enjoy any thing.”
These are the people of whom Hood, says:
” They think they are pions when they
are dniy billious!”
■ A good man is almost always a cheerful
one. It is fit that had men shonld scowl,
and look blue, and be melancholy; but lie
who has God’s smile of approbation upon
him should show its radiance in its counte
nance. Dr. Johnson said lie ‘never knew n
villain in his life that was not, on the whole
an nnhappy dog.’ And well he may be.—
But an honest man—the man with a good
conscience, let him enjoy his sleep, and his
dinner, and the love of biff wife, and*the
prattle of his children, and show a beaming
face to his neighbor. Surely there is no
worse theology than that which teaches that
he who has given such fullness of joy to
beasts and birds, delights, in the misery of
men, or, that having filled our hearts with
gladness, vfc ought to give the lie to his
goodness hy wearing faces beclouded with
woe, and furrowed with pretended happiness.
PBETTY GOOD.
In a late controversy in the Benato be
tween Mr. Toombs, and Mr. Proston King,
of New York, the latter commenced a reply
to Mr. Toombs as followe:
“ I suppose I shall not be required to
furnish understanding to the Senator from
Georgia, who has chosen to misunderstand
the facts of tbe case, awd of course to mis
state them. I will read tbe iaw.„
To which Mr. Toombs replied:
“I will certainly relieve the Senator from
New York from any obligation to furnish use
a brains in this case; because I bare. seen
ng in that Senator’s course which indi
cated that lie coofd spare'knr.”

A CASK XH COUIT—A, YAXLES MMX.
Some five or aeven years ago store keep
er of ThomnsvlHe, G., went to New York
to buy n bill of goods. Passing through
Savannah he received jfrom a well-known
firm in town, n letter directed to h firm in
New York. This letter was merely one
of introduction stating that tho bearer was *.
good business men; honest, energetic end
striving to get along, and worthy so fa? of
trust. But the letter did not dcflinftely reeo
mend the New York merchant to sell to tbe
Thomasville man. ?
When tho Georgia man got to New York
lie went into another store aud in course of
talk shewed tbo letter ho bad for tbe other
New York* firm. On the strength of Ms let
ter (though not directed to them} this new
party sells the Georgia merchant a bill of
goods on time. Before said debt was paid
tlc Georgia party failed, and even tbe !Rw
York house allowed the effects to be disposea
of without claiming thsir share. Since thetf
tbo New York firm have sued the parties of
this city (who gave the Thomasville man the
letter of introdjiction.) for the amount of
that bill, and this week a jury in the Superi
or Court decided against the New Yorker’s
claim making him pay cost of Court, dec.”
It seemed to us very strange grounds for
the New York party to base their claim upon
and we do not think any jury could have de
cided in their favor.— Sav. Georgian.
k MUSIC OF THE PACIFIC.
No one can be in Montgomery a singly
night without being startled and awed by the
deep, solemn crashes of the surf as it breaks
along tho shore. There is no continuous
roar of the plunging waves, as we bear along
the Atlantic seaboard; the slow regular
swells —quick pulsations of the groat Pacif
ic’s heart—roll inwards in unbroken lines
and fall with single grnnd crushes with inter
vals of dead silence between. They may
be heard through the day, if one listens, like
a solemn undertone to all the shallow noises
of tho town; but at midnight when al
else is still, those successive shocks fail upon
the ear with a sensation of inexpressible so
lemnity. All the air, from the pine for
ests to the sea is filled with a light tremor,
and the intermitting heals of souud Are strong
enough to jar a delicate car. Their con
stant repetition at last produces a feeling
something like terror. A spirit worn end
weakened by scathing sorrow, Could scarce
ly bear the reverberation.— Taylor's Cali•

UNBOUNDED STOMACH.
The capacity of the skin can only be
thoroughly tested in a dropsical patient or in
a lager beer drinker. In a late case in New
York City Court of Common Pleas, the ques
tion lias been revived as to the intoxicating
properties of lager beer. A keeper of ala-
Sheer saloon testified to the fact that he
known men drink sixty glasses of lager
in the space of four hours. Another wit
ness 5 stated that some men outd drink forty
glasses of laser without feeling any bad of
fect. A german testified that he had drank
one hundred and sixty glasses of laser in a
day—equal to 10£ gallons. The Judge ask
ed him what effect it had upon him, to which
he replied, “It mnde me feel goot, and I
sleep veil.” He said that he bad drank
twenty-five glasses that morning before com
ing into court. Another witness swore that
he could diink four gallons a day without
being affected oy It. A number of witness
es testified to having drank eighty glass— a
day. ‘
THE BRITISH OFFICERS UPON THEIB IXABCHES
The Key West “Key of an
nounces the arrival there ol U. B. M. Steam
ship Jasper, Commander Fiip, who was wai
ted upon in a visit of courtesy by Comman
der Rogers of the Water Witch. Comman
der Pirn said be was acting in accordance
with the instructions of hts Government,
which he received and obeyed some nine
years ago on the coast of Africa—that no
new or special orders had been received —that
if he has done wrong, in any One instance,
he regretted it much—and should his govern
ment, after strict and impartial inquiry into
his course, which he courted, decide against
him, its displeasure would be severely visit
ed upon him, and he made amenable for the
damages sustained.
He com plained-—and our experience teach
es us with moth truth—of the discourtesy
shown by American ship-masters, when met
at sea by a man-of-war, in not allowing their
colors when invited by the letter's shearing
theirs; instead of giving this evidence of
their nationality at once and in a proper
manner, they most invariably, he said, either
rnn up their colors and immediately haul
them down, before they are made known, or
do not show them nt all, until a shot is fired
to leeward or ahead of them. And in con
clusion, ho expressed inneb regret that his
otficirtl nets should have caused so mnch feel
ing in this country, and ho believed that lie
could clear himself, in every instance, from
censure in the premises—that he alone was
responsible for his past course and not his
Goveruineut, if ho had done wrong.

Messrs. LafiUe dt Co* of Charleston,mad*|
application to the collector ts that port, for
otcaranca naDcn* fur IW ichoflocir Richurd
3obd<w, to sail for tho oosmtoi Africa, for the
purpose of taking on hoard African Emi
grants, m accordance with tke United Stain
passenger laws, and returning with thy yam
lo some port in the United Stafet. The Cel
or.tor leiufietl to irraiit tbi AftnlkAtian. witk*,
oet first consulting with Secretary Cobb,who
returned a negative anawer. Alter tally re
hearsing tho Uw relative to the importation
of slaves and apprentices, the Secretory
thus disposes of • question naked with so
much subtility :
„The- form the application made by
Messrs, Lafitte A Cos, would mam to con
template the introduction into the United
States ol negroes trom Atnca, eutitteu, on
theta arrival, to all the rights and privileges
of freemen. Tho proposition, upou its face, 1
is so aboard, that it in hardly worthy of scri
ou4 refutation. Mcairn -fly Cos., ask
u to believe that their vessel, fitted oot in
the port of Charleston. S.C., is going upon
a voyage to Africa, to bring to some port in
tbe United States a cargo of free negroes,—
The port to which the vessel expects to re
turn, is not indicated. It cannot be the one
from which it sails, nor any other port in tbe
State of South Carolina, as the introduction
of free negroes into that State Jta wisely pro
hibited by stringent laws and heavy penal
ties. It cannot be the port of any other
slaveholding State, as similar laws in each of
those States alike forbid it. The reason for
such laws is so manifest, that X do not feel
called upon either to prednee tbe evidence
of their existence. r to justify tbe policy
which led to tbeir adoption, ft is sufficient
to know that the public mind of that section
of the Union is not more cordially agreed
upon any one subject than the propriety and
necessity of prohibiting, a* far a# possible,
an increase of the treo negro population; and
hence the law# to which ! refer, prohibiting
tbeir importation from any place.
Can it be that Messrs. Lafitte & Cos. pro
pose to return, with tbeir cargo of free ne
groes, to a port in some of the non-slavehol
ding states ( lam not aware of a single
State where these new comers would receive
a tolerant, much lean a cordial, welcome j
whilst by stringent laws and eonstitntionai
provisians, some of them have provided for
their unconditional exclusion. - *# r>‘. :tr
Looking beyond the legislation which has
been had on the subject by the General Gov
ernment, and both the sUvebotdiug and
non-slaveholding States, 1 may be permitted
to refer, in this connection, to tbe various,
repeated and earnest efforts which have been
made in every section of the Union, to pro
vide for the removal from Our midst of this
most unfortunate class. However variant
the motives which have induced these effort*
with different persons, in different sections of
tbe country, they ail exhibit *n earnest da,
sire to diminish rather than increase the free
negro population. This pnblic opinion, thus
manifested in every form, is familiar to every
one, and it would- be doing great injustice to
the intelligence of Messrs. Lafitte it, Gi>., to
suppose that they alone wfire ignorant of it
Where, then do they propose to land their
cargo e* freo negroes ? Wlist i# the motive
which indaces the enterprise t ’
It cannot be the profit# of the voyage.—
There are no African emigrants seeking a
passage to tbb country; and If there were,
they have no means of remunerating Messrs.
LafiUe (t, Cos. for bringing them. The mo
tive cannot be more phHantbrjpyffot it would
confer no benefit upon these negroes to bring
them to our shores, where, if permitted” to
land at all, it would only be to oeeupy our
pest-houses, hospitals and prisons. To be
sieve, under the eirenmstances, that there is
a bona tide purpose, on the part of Messrs.
Lafitte 4 Go., to bring African emigrants to
this country, to enjoy the rights and privile
ges of freemen, won id require an amount of
credulity that woold justly subject the per
son so believing to the charge of mental im
becility. The conviction is irresistible, that
the object of the proposed enterprise is to
bring these “African eojigmnUr’ l'ntb the
country, with the view felt hi?? of making
slaves of them, or of holding them to servlfee
or labor. If so, it is an attempt to evade
the laws of the country on the subject of Af
rican importation,. to which I have called
yonr attention.
Ordinarily, it would be an unsafe ralo . fori
a public officer to act upon the suspicion pf
a purpose on the part of another to violate
tho laws of tbe country, but MUtius ca#e U.te
ptft so clearly beyond the reach of doubt,
that I think that yen not only can, bnt that
you are in duty bound to act upon the pre
sumption that it is the intention of Messrs.
Lafitte fe Cos. to-dvade tbe laws of the Uni
ted States, and you should accordingly re
