But amatourß tell mo it never will do To pick out a ring for a beauty, 11 uloss you divido your opiniou by two, And allow for tho ‘‘shrinkage and duty.” I toll you this faot. that you cloarly may soo My motivo in choosing this size, dear; And to show at once that it novor could bo The consideration of prico, doar; Yet I fairly confess, when I purchased tho thing, And promised to pay for the samo, I blossod you for wearing a very small ring, And 1 thought a large hand was a shame. Os coorse you'll porsaive there's a gem in this ring, Which I think exceedingly chasto, A diamond to mo is a hard looking thing, But, bodad 1 there's a gloiy in paste! And with caro it will wear just oxactly as long, And niver grow dirty or dingy; And as for tho strength, thruo, a diamond is strong, But a man is no man if ho'a stingy. And oh ! may you wear it ontircly out, doar! In short, woar it for iver and iver; And when ye have finished your gadding about hare, Return it unsoilod to tbo giver: For gams are unheeded in huaren, I trust, Where one is as rich as another; In that placo your jewels would certainly rust, And melt all to paices in t'other 1 Tbo generosity of our 11 Bard ” is quite equal to that of tho London lovor, who, when asked by tho inamorata with whom he hod quarreled to return her presents of jewolry, and so forth, said, among other things: "That brooch, which onoo your bosom wore, (You said you had it from your mothor,) Which, when you gave it to mo, you sworo For life you d love mo, and no other: Canst thou forgot the pleasnnt mum When in my breast thou first didst stick it?

(Telegraphed for the Baltimore American.) Further by the Atlantic. Nkw-Yoor, Oct. 15—10 A. M. The lieamoT Atlantic has arrived with Liv erpool dates to the Ist inst. She was detained 49 hours by the derangement of her machinery, and experienced heavy sales during the passage. She brings 144 passengers. The America ar rived out on the 28th, having made the passage in 10 days, 8 hours, and 15 minutes. The political intelligence, though in a mea sure interesting, is not of striking importance. The steam frigate Mississippi, with Kossuth and companions,arrived at Marseilles on the 28th of September, and sailed immediately for Eng land The town people expressed their admi ration of Kossuth by illuminations and various public demonstrations. The Emperor ol Austria lias reached Milan, I where he was coldly received by the people. I Another severe earthquake took place in the ! Neapolitan dominions on the 9th ult. Tne time of the closing of the great London exhibition remained fixed for the 11th inst.— The Commissioners had given formal notice on the 26th to Messrs. Fox and Henderson, of their intention to have the building removed. This notice, is not regarded as conclusive as to the fate of the building, but given to keep the pow ers of the original contract in force. Its actual late will probably remain in suspense until Parliament reassembles. An impression gains ground, however, that the building will finally be removed from the Park. The Roman Catholic Defence Association has commenced its action by issuing ail address to the Catholics of the United Kingdom, declaring hostility to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill and the Ecclesiastical policy of the Government, and calling on the Catholics to unite in an organized resistance to both. The address is signed by Dr. Cullen, Catholic Primate of Ireland, and Mr. Keogh, Secretary of the Defence Association. On Sunday, the 28th, the Submarine Telegraph between the French and English coasts was brought into complete and successful operation. At Liverpool, and all along the west coast, gales of more or less violence have occurred, do ing serious damage. Great preparations are making throughout Great Britain in anticipation of the expected gen eral election. From Spezzia we learn that the frigate Mis sissippi was there on the 21st instant, with Kos suth. Capt. Austin, of the Arctic Expedition, has re turned to England, having made no new discov eries. The return of the American vessels had been announced in England, by an arrival from Greenland. Spain. —The excitement in Madrid relative to Cubau affairs has diminished, the Spaniards be ginning to take greater interest in home politics. The execution of Lopez seems to have satisfied them. Despatches from the Spanish minister at Rome announces the conclusion of the ratification of the concordat with the Court of Spain, and the ex ecution of letters Apostolic. France. —The Assemble Nationale treats the speech of Lord Palmerston at Tiverton, with much severity, accusing him of insulting the Continental Governments by charging them with preventing their subjects from declaring their political opinions, and thus exciting them to revolt against their Government. A Cabinet Council was held at St. Clouds on Saturday, at which President Bonaparte presided. Turkey.—The government in Turkey ap pears to be on the point of a political crisis. Re chid Pacha’s power is tottering, and his success or is already spoken of. India. —By the overland mail at Trieste, we have dates from Bombay to the 18th of Septem ber. The commercial news is favorable. The outbreak in Cashmere has been suppressed. A great quantity of rain has fallen in Scinde and Punjaub, causing an inundation from which great loss of iife and property has resulted. Commodore Hawkins is dead. Funds to the amount of $70,000 have been discovered in the opium department of Bombay. An expedition is fitting out against the Arabs about Ada. Gold is abundant, and the import bade brisk, ’tho Market*. Liverpool, Oct. I.—lndian Corn is in good demand, and a large business has been done in cargoes afloat. Small parcels in warehouse are selling at Is. per quarter higher than former quo tations. In Sugar, a moderate demand exists, at former prices. Provisions are unchanged as to price. Beef and Pork ars in better request. Fine Cheese is very saleable. Lard and Tallow inactive. Coffee.— The inquiry is limited, but prices have not recede J. Tea—The low qualities of Congo are in improved request. Cotton closed at rates current prior to the sail ing of the Asia. The sales during the three days were 19,000 bales, of which|exporters and spec ulators took 5000. Further by the Steamer America. Halifax, October 15, 6 P. M. The Royal Mail Steamer America, Capt. Shannon, which sailed from Liverpool on Satur day, the 4th instant, arrived here this afternoon, at 5 o’clock, bringing dates from Liverpool to the day of her sailing. She has 108 passengers. The steamer Franklin arrived at Southampton on the morning of the 2d inst. The Markets. Liverpool, Oct. 4.— Cotton. —The market has been dull and flat since the sailing of the Atlantic on the Ist. Sales for consumption have fallen off considerably; middling qualities are nearly an eighth lower; ordinary and inferior much neglected. The sales of tne week have amounted to 33.600 bales—B,ooo for export, and on speculation 3,000. Sales of fair bowed were made at 5Jd.; Mobile 51; Orleans 6d. Breadstuff were in steady demand, and prices of the last week were fully sustained. Corn was in fair request, with a light stock, and prices unchanged. Der.niston’s Circular quotes wheat at a penny advance and Flour at 6d. advance during the week. The trade at Manchester continues good. The commercial advices from Bombay are fa vorable. Those from Calcutta are unsatisfactory. The London money market remains unchang ed.—Consols are slightly fluctuating and closed on Friday at 97. In foreign stocks there have been but few transactions, and prices are nomi nal. Havre, Oct. I.—The sales of Cotton for the week amounts to 3500 bales. Orleans is quoted at 65f. a 89f.; Mobile 77 a 85; Uplands 63 a 84 f. The British and Continental news is possessed ot very little interest. In England, public at tention is concentrated «n the approaching close of the Worlds Fair, which is positively to take place on the 11th inst. After which two days will be appropriated to the exhibition, each hav ing the privilege of introducing two friends. The awards will be made on the 15th inst. Lori! Londonderry had again addressed the of the French Republic in reference to Abdel Kader. The correspondence, however, amounts to nothing practical. The seamen belonging to the American ship Columbus, lying at Liverpool, had mutinied.— The men were convicted and fined and impri soned. The Hon. Abbott Lawrence, the American minister, was in Dublin, visiting public institu tions. He was receiving the greatest attention, both from the city authorities and private indi viduals. Kossuth had been expected to visit London up to Ist instant, when intelligence was received that the French authorities had refused to grant him permissi mto pass through their territory from Marseilles. It was understood that he would sail in the Mississippi for New York. The Queen was expected te visit Liverpool on the 9th, and no business would be transacted on that or the following day. (From the N. Y. Express.) The remedy for bad peaches, to which from a sense of public observation alone we called pub lic attention the other day, has been published in all parts of the country, and attracted the notice due to a matter ol so much importance to fruit growers and eaters. Having seen the complete ness of the cure, and the ease and the certainty of the remedy for the Peach Grub, which results not only in a complete renovation of the tree, but in a corresponding transformation of the fruit, — we felt bound to inform our readers ol the luxury in store for those who grow or consume, in its perfect state, the most delicious of all our Ameri can fruit*. In reply to a multitude of enquiries made since the publication in the Express, Mr. Lewis, of Washington, (to whom the public are indebted for the chemical preparation,) has pre pared the following circular, which we copy for the information of our readers : To the Editors: Washington, D. C., Sept. 28, 1851. Finding it impracticable to answer by letter the numerous inquiries respectingthe remedy for the Peach Grub, I have prepared this circular, in which you will doubtless find the information desired. Os its efficacy there can be no ques tion. No grub can be found on any tree to which it has been applied; for if the paint reaches them, it kills them immediately. If it cannot reach them, their ingress is closed by it, and they die for lack of air; but it will generally find them, as it is one of the most subtile of liquid*. Trees apparently in a dying condition have been revived and bore fine fruit this season. It is well to apply it to those trees not in fest ed, to prevent their becoming so. All other fruit trees are benefitted by a simi lar application. An ordinary sized tree will re quire less than half a pint. The earth should be removed from about the trunk of the tree down to the upper roots, and the paint applied with a common brush from three inches above the ground down to the roots, and some little mixed with the earth near the tree. Any roots that may he exposed should be painted. After a few weeks the earth should be partially returned. The time to apply it is just as soon as it can reach the orchard in any and all seasons, for the sooner that which is taking the “life blood’’of the tree is destroyed the better, especially as the tree requires all their vigor to stand the cold of winter, and nothing less than all is requisite in spring and summer to perfect good fruit. The cost is small compared with the benefit, as the fruit is much improved in quantity and quality. Our Company sell it now for six dol lars a barrel of thirty-two gallons, and deliver it on board steam or sailing vessels, canal boats at Georgetown, or cars, as the case may be—though they are rather indifferent to the sale of it in this form, as it pays better to make it into paint for other purposes. The prices will be more likely to increase than decrease, as the demand is increasing and the supply ofthe material decreasing. lou may keep it forty years if you choose; only see that your barrels do not leak, that the bungs are in, and the barrels under cover. Any further communication will be cheerfully communicated by letter. I could add the testi mony of those that have used it, but you having seen the declaration of others, is the reason you ask mine. The freight to New-York is 35 cts. per barrel, to Baltimore 20 cents, Richmond about 50, and from these places you will be like ly to know. Respectfully yours, J. C. Lewis. Business in Europe.—As regards the gene ral position of business, the feeling to-day in the city was very satisfactory. Money, apparently is becoming more easy, and the continued reports of large and steady transactions at Manchester, and of full employment throughout the provinces generally, create a degree of confidence which promises well for the approaching winter. It is seen also, that the abundant harvest asd other causes warrant an anticipation of a steady in crease during the next few months, of the bul lion in the Bank of England. This increase is likely to be derived from two sources; impor tation from abroad, and the liberation of part of the large quantity at present in the hands ofthe public. The existing note circulation is precise ly what it was at the corresponding period of last year, when the bank rate of-intere t was 2J per cent, and when cotton was 30 to 40 per cent above its present price, with produce of most other descriptions comparatively high. Contrast ed with September 1849, it shows an excess of £1,500,000. After the close of the Exhibition, therefore, the return ot a considerable amount of cein is not improbable. At the same time, while the total of bullion is now higher than at any period since January, it is clear that not only is the drain from the continent and the East, which has so long counteracted the large receipts from New York, terminated, but that France, Holland, and j Belgium may furnish henceforth some additions | to our supply. The duration of this condition of affairs will be promoted, moreover, by the low price of most articles of import, which are likely for some months to discourage foreign shippers. Under these circumstances, as the in ternal prosperity of the country is certain to cause a continuance of the steady consumption of articles of food and luxury, while a diminution in the demand for breadstuiffs may relatively in crease that for other necessaries, there is every reason to hope that any large stocks now hang ing over the produce markets, may be gradually disposed of without even occasioning in that quarter an aggravation of heavy losses with which recent speculations have been attended. —London Times , Sept. 24. AUGUSTA, GA. SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 19. ‘ TEE LARGEST CIRCULATION IN THE STATE. SEE OUTSIDE DAILY. Ballet Troupe. We are pleased to learn that the Parisian Bal let Troupe are about visiting our city, and will give their first performance, at Concert Hall, on Tuesday evening. New Publications. We have the following new and interesting publications from the press of Harper & Broth ers, New York: The Lilly and the Bek; an Apologuo of the Crystal Palace. By Samuol Warren, F. K. 8., author of Diary of a Physician, Ac. This is a quaint and enigmatical little book, both in style and substance. The distinguished name of the author will secure for it leaders.— We confess, however, that we have risen from its perusal more puzzled than pleased. There are, however, in it passages of much power and sublimity. Many of the notes are in teresting and instructive. Bulk and Misrule of the English in Ameri ca ; by tho author of Sam Slick, tho Clock-Maker. This work is historical in its character, anu contains a great deal of interesting information upon the early political history of the British Colonies in this country—especially of those thirteen Colonies which achieved their independ ence in the American Revolution. Forest Life and Forest Trees; comprising W inter Caiup-I.ifo among tho Loggers, and wild wood adventure, with descriptions of hunting op erations on tho various rivers of Maine and Now Brunswick. By John S. Springer. This is a work of the most interesting charac ter. It contains some thrilling narratives of personal adventure. It imparts also much useful information on the subjects of which it treats. The Ladv and the Priest ; a Novel, by Mrs. Maberly, author of “ Loontino,” “ Fashion," Ac. No. 17 of Lossing's Pictorial Field Book of the Rev olution. The above are for sale by Thomas Richards A Son, and by J. A. Carrie & Co. The hark Emily, from Rio Janeiro, at Phila. delphia, with dates to the 31st of August, reports that coffee was quite scarce, and but little ex pected from the interior. American provisions abundant. The U. S. steamer Susquehanna would sail for the East Indies in a day or two. Several sharp earthquake shocks were felt on the Bth ult. at Trinidad, Port Spain, causing damage to buildings, splitting walls, &c. Houses were completely deserted, and the streets and, squares crowded by the alarmed people. Dates from Surinim to the 25th of August, re ceived at New York, contain intelligence that the Yellow Fever, which had prevailed there with such destructive effects, had subsided. A drought of almost unprecedented duration is prevailing throughout the South West, which threatens a great monetary pressure among the merchants in that section of country, front the impossibility of getting produce to market and making payments. The Syracuse Outrage. The following prophecy, so signally falsified lately at Syracuse, is thus brought to public at tention by the Mobile Tribune: Daniel Webster may be a great expounder, but he is no prophet. In a speech delivered at Syracuse, on the 26th ol May, he thus spoke of the fugitive slave law: “ Depend upon it, the law will be executed in the spirit and to its letter. It will be executed in all the great cities— here in Syracuse, in the midst of the next anti-slavery Convention, if the occasion shall arise.” Mr. Webster is not, by any means, the first conspicuous man who has miscalculated the effi cacy of the compromise. This outrage, however, does not see n to dis turb the equanimity of the consolidation party of Georgia, or extort from their organs any ex pression of doubt as to the faithful execution of the fugitive slave law. If it is not faithfully ex ecuted, they are pledged to secede. The next move of that party will doubtless be to crawfish from that position. The Southern Sentinel thus calls attention to the beautiful manner in which the “.final adjustment'‘ , operates for the South which gained by it such a “victory.” The State Register , (Albany, N. Y.) thus con denses the history of the recent “failure” to ex ecute the fugitive slave law, at Syracuse, iu that State: “ A prisoner in the hands of the deputy mar shal of the United States, was rescued from his cus tody in the presence of a United States judicial offi cer, before whom an examination was progress ing. He was, however, recaptured, and taken before the same officer, aid there the further hear ing of the matter was interrupted by an invasion of the police office, which was broken into, the officers of the government stoned, shot at, injured, aud their prisoner forcibly wrested from custody and carried off. This was undoubtedly the work of both negroes and aboliliomsts. ,, We ask pardon for suggesting the query to the Georgia Platform Legislature, soon to meet at Milledgeville, how many more such evidences are required to satisfy them that the fugitive slave law cannot be “laithfully” executed ? Did the Georgia Convention mean what it said in the resolution, that the preservation ot the Union depended upon the execution of that law ? Will Georgia Union men wait till their Northern brethren have stolen all our negroes before they conclude that this feature of the compromise is a humbug? Suppose the federal tax-gatherers had been “stoned, shot and injured,” in their effort to col lect the customs in Charleston, S. C., what would the government have done ? What would South ern Union presses have said ? “Treason 1” would We been thundered from the capital, and “Treason !” would have been shouted by every Union from the St. Lawrence to the Rio Grande. We might, if we wished, fill this entire sheet with the details of scenes like that which has just been enacted at Syracuse within the past two months, but of what use would such recitals be ? Thousands of slaves have escaped into the Northern States since the enactment of the fugi tive bill,and not one in a hundred of them have been recovered; and yet we are told of Northern , devotios to the compromise! Our Governmental Departments have received official mformation from San Francisco that let ters frequently reach there with the envelopes partly torn off, and the address mutilated, in con sequence of the practice of using sealing-wax to secure the envelopes. In passing through the tropics, the wax is invariably melted so as to de stroy ail sembla«ce of a seal, and not unfrequent ly so a» to adhere to the letter beneath it, and cause toe injury or destruction of the address in separating the two. The Post Master General therefore recommends to all persons having cor respondence with California, and other parts of the coistof the Pacific Ocean, to discontinue the use of wax in sealing their letters or other pa pers. Outrage on an American Abroad.—Pri vate letters announce that Gen. Averill, of St. Johnsville, N. Y., who is now travelling in Eu rope, kas just been expelled from Milan in a das tardly manner, without any explanation being given by the government in justification of its conduct. From Africa. —By way of England we have advices from Cape Palmas to the 19th of July. Gov. Russworm, of Cape Palmas, died on the 17th of June. The U. S. ship Georgetown, Capt. Knight, and John Adams, Commander Barron, were at Cape Palmas. Mr. Forrest. —The houses of this actor at Philadelphia, the Pennsylvanian says, are filled every night, and it is impossible to engage seats unless they are taken two or three days always in advance. Father Mathew administered the Temper ance pledge to over four thousand persons on Sunday at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, New-York. He continues his labors every morning during the week. The Washington Rejtublic says, that the three sides of the basement walls of both the north and the south wings of the Capitol have attained a height of about ten feet. This branch of the work will probably pe completed by the close of Autumn, and be ready for the setting ofthe mar. ble, which, the Republic learns, will be prepared during the Winter, so as lo make an early com mencement in the ensuing Spring The Kossuth Fund. —The Mayor ofN. York received on Tuesday a telegraphic dispatch from Cincinnati, informing him that J. Smead, Esq. of that city had contributed SI,OOO to the Kos suth Fund. Professor Anderson was to have given a performance at Tripler’s Hall, the entire proceeds of which are to be devoted to the same purpose. Going Back. —Nearly two hundred steerage passengers, who had recently immigrated to this country, sailed for Liverpool from New York on Friday in tho ship Ashburton. It is said the owners were unable to accommodate about fifty others who applied for passage. Startling Disclosures.— A New York pa per says that Wilton, former man of business of Barnum, is about to publish some startling dis closures as to certain transactions connected with the Lind concerts. Esquimaux Dogs. —On one day no less than seven of Jtlie Esqimaux dogs died on board the Exploring vessels at New York, and the two remaining ones are not expected to live. Change of climate i 3 supposed to be the cause. The Divorce Case of Mr. Edwin Forrest, against his wife, was on Monday, at New York, set down for trial on the third Monday of No vember, on which day it is expected it will be taken up. Verdict against a Railroad Company.— Before Judge Daly, at New York, in the case of Jno. G. Hunt against the New Haven Railroad Company, for damages of $50,000, on Saturday morning,the jury awarded the plaintiff $3,000' The damages sued for, were in consequence of the loss of a step-daughter, who was killed on the New Haven railroad some months ago, by a collision between a train of cars and the wagon in which she was riding. The Post Master General has recenty estab lished the following Post Offices in Georgia. Grove, Elbert, Ga., Jas. A. Rumscy; Quinfield Muscogee, Allen O'Quin; Vineyard, Irvin, Tho>. Smith. The Spanish Papers publish a list of the killed and wounded among the Spanish soldiers in the battles. The killed amount to 58, the wounded 166, bruised B—total8 —total 245. More Whisky is shipped from Cincinnati than from any other port in the Union. Large quan tities, however, are retained for home consump tion, as the records of mortality show. Gen. Houston authorizes the Washington Union to declare that the affair of “Donnelson,” of Tex as, is fictitious, and that the Presidential corres pondence is a hoax. Great Southern Mail. —The Post Office De partment is endeavoring to make arrangements which will expedite the great Southern Mail. It is said that the saving of the hours which are now lost at Petersburg, Va., will practically place the correspondence between Baltimore and the South twenty-four hours ahead of the existing arrangements. Queen of Spain Wants War. —The N. York Sun, on the authority of a private letter from Madrid, states that her august ladyship, the Queen of Spain, in reply to a petition from a Cuban, for certain concessions to that ill-governed island, said she deeply regretted that she was not the mistress of her own desires, or she would at once declare war against the U. States, come what might. It is well there are some wiser people than herself in the limits of her dominions, or the poor dear little stupid might be accommodated to her heart’s content. It is real charity to deny her gracious majesty the indulgence of her whim on this occasion. The desire for war, however, is said to be universal in Spain, by the same wri ter, Cheap Gas in London.—The Secretary of| the Gas Consumers’ Company, at a meeting held at the Yorkshire Stingo Tavern, Marylebone, j London, to take into consideration a proposal for the supply of cheap gas, stated that the new company would engage to supply gas of the best quality at a maximum price of 4s. per 1,000 feet, to limit the dividend to a maximum of 10 per ; cent., and all other profits beyond 10 per cent., to 1 be applied to the reduction of the price. The capital required would be £120,000, the prelimin- | ary expenses out of their own pockets. Mary- ! lebone is one of the largest districts of London.

[Charleston Courier , 18/A inst. The Cuban Question in Spain. On this general subject, the London Leader says: — "Magnificent, magniloquent, and magnanimous Spain thinks, in her simplicity, that the Stripes and Stars may be compelled to lower to the nag ofthe bloody streak upon a golden field. Effete Spain thinks she can compete in arms with the young giant of the west, and beat him even on the ocean! Let her try. “In the Heraldo ofthe 14th,there is an article, thoroughly Spanish, and thoroughly absurd. War is inevitable, it says, between Spain and the U. States. The prospect of the war does not intimi date Spaniards. They would 'gain much’ and lose nothing.” Proceed Heraldo: “It might be that even then we should not pos sess a navy equal in strength to that of the U. States; but we are not going to fight general ac tions ; no the war will be waged by privateers, and the services of our men-of-war will be con fined to protecting them, watching our coasts, and co-operating expeditions occasionally. In this description of warfare we should have an immense advantage over the U. States; for by offering letters of marque to all comers, which are letters of credit upon fortune, payable at sight, we should find privateers, not only among the Catalonians and Majorcans, who are the best in the world, but also in England and the Philip pine Islands, our last expedition against Zolo having deprived its inhabitants of the profession of piracy they previously exercised. We should even find them in the States ofthe Union, through the rivalries of commerce, and because avarice is a bad adviser, and often makes people iorget their duty when it is opposed to their interest. 'What would the Government ofthe United States do then ? What would become of the com merce of this country ? Its vessels would be in danger every where, even upon the coasts of the Union ; trade would be paralysed, and the inter ests of commerce would rise against an unjust and sterile war. And what could be opposed to this plan of operations? Nothing; absolutely nothing. They might try the system of convoys ; but would there be sufficient men-of-war, con sidering all things ? Certainly not. But this is not the only harm we could do the U. States. If our privateers tear from them the trade of the Indies, we likewise, who hold the key of the Mediterranean, could prevent the passage of their vessels by only stationing in the waters of Cadiz and Centa a few steamers. ‘ln fine, the United States would suffer a block ade and only escape ruin by submission .’ “Simple Spain thinks the States could muster only a few privateers, and that these would take nothing, as there is nothing to take. Besides, Spain would make a terrible ‘demonstration’ of strength calculated to make her ‘respected in fu ture.’ “Yes, war for us would bean advantage—we should gain in it a reputation which we require, as well as wealth, of which we have not a super fluity. It is not, then, for us to think of the re sult of hostilities; the question is whether we ought to provoke them. Because, if by sea we possess these advantages against a nation ac counted more powerful than us, by land these advantages are much greater, because there we cede to none in strength.” Bravo, Heraldo! An expedition from the U. States Government against Cuba would only end in affording the Spanish soldiers ‘the amuse ment of man-hunting.’ And, even ifthe Spanish forces were beaten in the field from the impreg nable forts of El Morra and La Cabania a few lines on a bit of poper would let loose 500.000 negroes, ‘who would put an end to all the white race except the Spaniards.' 1 Exquisite credulity. ‘Spain would indeed lose the precious jewel she possesses in America; but the United States would have made it a present to the barbarians of Africa after seeing her navy shattered, her trade annihilated, and a great part of her army destroyed.’ And so the rodomontade of dear hopeful Bom bastes continues: ‘Let our Government take this into account, and not hesitate in the path of patriotism. Let it look upon war as inevitable, and prepare for it, albeit ample satisfaction is obtained for the present; because we have already said that, some day or other, the Government of the U. States will be forced into hostilities by the populace, which’ demands vengence for the pirates shot in Cuba, unless it joins it voluntarily.’ ’ A Great Man’s Preference. —l envy no quality of mind or intellect in others—not ge nius, power, wit, or fancy; but if I could choose what would be most delightful, and I believe most useful to me, I should prefer a firm religious belief to every other blessing, for it makes fife a discipline of goodness, creates new hopes when all earthly hopes vanish, and throws over the de cay, the destruction of existence, the most gor geous of all lights; awakens life even in death ; aud from corruption and decay, calls up beauty and divinity ; makes an instrument of torture and of shame the ladder of ascent to paradise; and far above all combination of earthly hopes, calls up the most delightful visions, palms and ama ranths, the garden of the blessed; the security of everlasting joys, where the sensualist and the sceptic view only gloom, decay, and annihilation. —Sir Humphrey Davy. Usefulness. —ls confined to no station, and it is astonishing how much good may be done, and what may be effected by limited means, united with benevolence of heart and activity of mind. We heard a good story told of a rustic youth and a country girl, who sat facing each other at the supper-table of a husking party. The youth, j smitten with the charms of the beautiful maid, j only vented his passion in sly looks,and now and j then touching Patty’s toe with his foot under ' the table. The girl, either fearful of the purity ! of her stockings, or determined to make the youth express what he appeared so warmly to j feel, bore with his advances a little while in < silence, when she cried out—“ Look here, if you j love me, tell me so; but don’t dirty my stock ings.” Two Irishmen passing through a wood found a gun. They never having seen a weapon of the kind, thought it was a musical instrument and determined ,to practice. Partick advised Jamy to blow in themuzzel, while he played on the kays.’ The result was that Jamy lost his brains, 3Sq Magnetic Ctltppjj. Reported for the Constitutionalist k Repnblic.

With our Saviour, little children are the chosen em blems of purity ; and nnless we become as one of them, we can, in no wise, inherit the kingdom of Heaven. To the believer in our holy religion, there is, therefor*, abundant cause for consolation. God takes them to Himself—and, clad in the garments of a higher right eousness, they bocome as angels of light and glory. He plucks, as He pleases, the buds and flowers of earth ; but those which He transplants to His heavenly garden, re ceive a lustre and brilliance wnich never fade—and the greenest fruits He preserves, to all eternity, in unspeak able sweetness.
