"'Tis not for mortals always to be blest, But him the least the dull or painful hours ?~\r\'C~ ??fineo r?nr*/l note i ui mt; u^pitr&s? wuimi cuuci otucc vvuuuvv^ L And virtue, through this labyrinth we tread. K Virtue and sense I mean not to disjoin; fa Virtue and sense are one; and, trust me, still r A faithless heart betrays the head unsound. Virtue (for mere good-nature is a fool) Is sense and spirit with humanity: 'Tis sometimes angry, and its frown conlounds; 'Tiseven vindictive, but in vengeance just. Knaves fain would laugh at it; some great ones dare; But at his heart the most undaunted son i Of fortune dreads its name and awful charms. L To noblest uses this determines wealth; m* This is the solid pomp of prosperous days; The peace and shelter of adversity. ? And if you pant for glory, build your fame On this foundation, which the secret shock ' Defies of envy and all-sapping time. The gaudy gloss of fortune only strikes The vulgar eye; the suffrage of the wise, The praise that's worth ambition, is attained By sense alone, and dignity of mind. Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul, Is the best gift of Heaven : a happiness That even above the smiles and frowns of fate Exalts great nature's favorites; a wealth That ne'er encumbers, nor can be transferred. Riches are oft by guilt and baseness earned ; Or dealt by chance to shield a lucky knave, Or throw a cruel sun-shine on a fool. But for one end, one much neglected use, Are riches worth your care; (for Nature's wants ^ Are few, and without opulence supplied ;) This noble end is, to produce the soul; To show the virtues in their fairest light: To make humanity the minister Of bounteous Providence; and teach the breast That generous luxury the gods enjoy." HUMAN LOVE. Oh! if there is one law above the rest, ? * !n Wic/lnm If fViqro ic n trnr/l That I would trace as with a ppn of fire Upon the unsullied temper of a child? If there is anything that keeps the mind Open to Angel visits, and repels ' The ministry of ill?'tis Human Love! ; God has made nothing worthy of contempt. The smallest pebble in the well of Truth Has its peculiar meanings, and will stand When man's best monuments wear fast away. The law ot Heaven is Lore?and tho' its name i Has been usurped by passion, and profaned ' ' To its unholy uses through all time, Still, the external principle is pure ; And in these deep affections that we feel Omnipotent within us, can we see The lavish measure in which love is given. And in the yearning tenderness of a child ; For every bird that sings above its head, ^ And every creature feeding on the hills, And every tree and flower, and running brook We see how everything was made to love, And how they err, who, in a wot Id like this, Find any thing to hate but human pride. The Bible better than Pistols.?The Rev. Mr. Washburn, Bible agent for Conncticut in his last report, relates the following fact: One donor, who is a stranger to the hope of the gospel, told me that he had resolved to aid in giving the Bible to the world, as long as he had the means to do so. He thought it indispensible to the security of property and the rights of men. He said he once heard an irreligious and profane man, whose business required him to be often amoug strangers say, "that he always carried his pistols with him, and usually laid them under his pillow at night; but when he saw a Bible in the house that had the appearance of briny well U8ed,he never took his pistols from his valise. A Man Buried Alive.?An Irishman who died suddenly on the rail road, was buried at Wheeling on the 15th inst.

Nothing, indeed, could have been less in at cordanec with Jefferson's political theories tlia to have thrust upon the country one of the mos momentous measures which it was possible t adopt, involving the very livelihood of tens of thou sands, without the least opportunity to have tli public opinion upon it: employing for that pin pose a servile Congress, driven to act hastily i: the dark, with no other guide or motive beyoni implic it trust in the wisdom of the Executivcand such a measure the embargo, the most rc markable act of Jefl'erson's administration, ur questionably was.

In the feeling that he sought not selfisl ends, but the good ot the community, he fount like so many other zealous men, sanction for hi plans, justification of his means, and excuse fo disregarding the complaints and even the right of individuals. Yet whatever defects of personal character whatever amount of human weakness we ma; ascribe to Jefferson ; however low we may rat him as a practical statesman; however dcricien we may think him even in manliness and trutl however we may charge him with having faile to act in accordance with his own professed prin ciples; there remains behind, after all, this und( niable fact: he was?rarity indeed, among me ofaffairs?rarity, indeed, among professed denu cratical leaders?a sincere and enthusiastic belie vcr in the rights of humanity.

Tlie Sabbath. d> The Sabbath is the vital organ in our Chris- 1 n tion existence, and, therefore, is our true nation- of tl ,w j al life. It is as essential to the health of the Eng ! state, the well being of the body political and the e- ; social, as the luncrs arc essential to the life and Stat 116 ! health of the physical frame. The Sabbath js fl"a e-1 for the ventilation of the social state, what the Ia<5t' ti-1 lungs arc for respiration ; we breathe through by t ~~ | the Sabbath; thought and feeling, purpose and S('hc j resolve, pure, high, and holy, conies and goes.? Eun n' | As in passing through the lungs, the blood takes tflisl | coloring and life from ethereal elements of the j Thr< : air, so in passing through the Sabbath, our in- ' also 'J j dividual, social, and national existence is purified j to tl ;e> | energised, and vivified from heaven. Our men-1 of n ie j tal and moral life receives its sacredness, its worth hi w " % ! its vigorous health, its permanence there, its wini jh j power to endure labor, its security against cor- men n* ! ruption its ability to resist disease. cjuir d Ilencc we affirm, every injury to the Sabbath dm* '11 is an injury to life. You may make your attack j ily, f ie upon many points in this mortal frame, and yet j sess r" the object of your injuries may recover; you may ^ o .4 i- i i u... ?l i i i T?ro? ^ uo nun no mortal, uui wiij a transitory nnnu. i * 111 ! But as you approach the lungs you come to the cit- j pcrc 1(2 ! adel of life, and injury there is the near approach 'he < -C of death. So it is with the effect of the profar us w tc nation of the Sabbath on our moral social and Vh'g h civil welfare: when that profanation is permitted man d and becomes prevalent, there is no more hope.? >end b There is mortal disease and weakness through com] ; the whole frame, and our very social system has- sed,) tens to its dissolution, or to a chaos of permitted li- 33 a< c" ccntiousness and sin, which is worse than even its the ] absolute destruction. A social state without the cent 21 Christian Sabbath may go far to realize the con- 4Ij j* ception of a hell on earth. ,r,cd: " The secret of our own prosperity thus far, our whie " ' unparaiicica, unexampled progress, power ana ""-u t- j happiness as a nation, is just here, in this gift man from God to us of the Christian Sabbath, ob- gula: r? ; served and sustained for so long a time in a sa- arise n j credncss, faithfulness, purity, and power, so like nobh I- the brightest glory of its pristine life.

'crimps the most surprising philological fact t ie present time is the wonderful spread of the < lish speech, not merely by the extension of power of Great Britain and of the United < ,es, by which the English is carried on every < rter of the globe, and made the legal, scho- s c and polite language of vast territories, but 1 he impulse which the laborsof a few eminent t ilars in France, Germany and the northern f opean nations have given to the study of En- 1 t classical authors in their own tongue.? t mghout Germany an immense impulse has r been given to this study by the emigration c to United States. One may travel thousands t riles and find no market town, however small, s liich are not temptingly displayed at the s lows of the little book shops all sorts of ele- 1 tary works to assist the emigrant in the ac- 1 oment ot some few necessary phrases of the t :rican language. In every well-educated fam- s ;oo, it is beginning to be as necessary topos- c such a knowledge of the English, at least, j ur boarding-school misses acquire of the f ich, and the number who can read Shakes- a . Byron, Scott and Cooper with pleasure, in s original, is far greater than the number with bo can read Moliere, Gil Bias, and Paul and a ;inia. Perhaps the three men who, in Ger- t y, have produced the greatest influence in v ering our speech popular and necessary to a I plete education, are A. W. Schegel, (decea- c i Gervius, and Jacob Crimm; the two former t Imirers, translators and critics of Shakespere, 'I latter as a philologist. The latter, in a re- b treatise, says: a t possesses, through its abundance of free h ial tones, which may be learned indeed, but n h no rules can teach, the power of expression fi as never, perhaps, was attained by any hu- n tongue.

There are two eases re- si id in Draithwait's Retrospect, Part 22,1851, h s .17 and 88, where one patient was effecy cured with lemon juice, after calcium, caloand opium had been tried in vain, and the J, r, where lemon juice failed and the patient t< cured with opium and calomel pills, taken a f with draughts of the acetate of potash f, nitre in a camphor mixture. o Stririititir.

It is wonderful and striking to see the bandy legs of the negroes encased in blue >rcei'hes, fitting close to the skin; with a p*ir of reinendous military boots reaching to the knees tnd spurred on the heels; a short jacket profusey ornamented with brass buttons; a cap dccoraed conspicuously with gold lace, and all the lameless trappings that are supposed to give a lazzling effect to high life. The cabriolets are lrawn sometimes by mules, but chiefly by hores. The driver's seat is behind, but very high, o as to overlook the body of the vehicle. Pubic drivers as well as private, wear the prevailing iverv. It anneared to me that more than half he inhabitants of Rio, of every condition wear ome badge of office. Laced coats and military aps are seen on all sides. Boys of ten or fifteen ears of age strut about town in the uniform of nil grown officers. Some of these, I believe, ire cadets, belonging to the Emperor's militaiy chool. The burdens, such as coffee, flour, baskets, <fec. re carried from place to place on the heads of he negroes. It is astonishing what immense weights these carriers transport in this manner. in instance is related to me of a negro who arried a barrel of rum from one extremity of he city to the other, a distance of several miles, 'his is well authenticated, having been tested iy a wager made by an American resident with visitor to Rio, both of whom were personally ntercsted in the result. I frequently saw these egroes carry at a bnsk trot, as much as tour or :ve hundred pounds on their heads. A gentlenan of my acquaintance said he saw eight hunred pounds carried to a considerable distance n this way. I was also told of a feat performed y a negro belonging to a Mr. Rudge, who lives p in the mountains of Tejuco, that quite 6urrised me, as I knew by personal experience the itficulty of walking there without any burthen. 'his man was in the habit of carrying up every .% eek ou his head, a barrel or two of flour; nor id he make a practice of resting on the way but nee and then only a few minutes. The distance 3 Mr. Rudge's is at least eight or ten miles, and ver a steep and very rugged road. I have freuently seen a negro bearing along at a brisk ot, a bureau or sofa on his head, and this too 'ith as much apparentease as if he had nothing n Kit! liie V?nf Tlin rvi/11ntv oorrtr 1 orrrn 00000 it uuu iiio uai. jl iiv. j'^uiaio vnn j iai^c vxaoc* lied with stocks of all sorts of fancy ware on ircir heads, shouting the price as they pass each ouse.

Interview with Billy Bowlegs and the lorjda Indians.?Mr. Lea, the Commissioner f Indian Affairs, had an interview with Billy Sowlegs, and the Indians accompanying him, on 'hursday, in the presence of Judge Wayne, of lie Supreme Court, Gen. Eaton, and other genlemen. The old Indianized negro, Abraham, ctcd as interpreter. Billy Bowlegs did not apear to be very communicative, as his reply to early every question put to him was " very well," r " I will listen." The Commissioner, however, roeeeded to explain to them that the treaty made y the United States Government in 1832 with ie Semiuoles, for their removal from Florida, as still in force, and not, as the Seminoles now apposed, abrogated, because all those who had lade it had sincc.died. He told them that the eaty must be carried out, as demanded by the i j* y?i - ! _ . i i- i . _i eopic 01 norma ; ana conunuea in a sirain 01 itherly advice to urge them to remove freely nd quietly to the West, where they would be roteeted by the government, and where a numcr of Seminoles are now living in peace. Abraam, the colored man, stated that he had been ving among the Western Indians for fourteen ears, and said ho had often told Billy Bowlegs , would be better for him and his people to ga liere. Bowlegs, however, in reply to the Comlissioner, said he had a bad cold, but he would tudy on the subject, and give an answer at a ubsequent interview. Gen. Jessup having nown Billy in Florida, the latter was taken inter is department, and seemed pleased to see him, nd also became very communicative. To one uostion casually put by Gen. Jessup, " are you oing to the country West ?Billy, though reviously conversing in English, suddenly stoped, and referred to Abraham to give the reply, hich was, " I do not know yet." This conversion was not renewed, and the Indians soon ;ft. Norton Peters, of Missouri, recently made a andsome speculation by driving sheep over land o California.
