BY H. L. RANN. J My love is like the lily fair; - Her eyes are violets wet with dew, Or stars, whose glories tremble through The midnight of her hair; And, as her glowing lips unclose, A music that can charm despair Steals forth?and float upon the air The odors of the rose. Ah, well do we remember, how? , Pale as the pale moon's tremulous light, { She whispered, one serenest night, \ Love's first and holiest vow; 1 | Closer her cheeks she pressed to mine, ^ As (in her maiden bashfulness, 1 Scarce conscious of my calm caress,) ' f he murmured?4 I am thine." What cared we for the waning hours; The paling stars?the dawning day ? While bliss upon our bosom lay Like dew upon the floweis; While, softly, to love's music beat Our hearts, and like a summer dreain, : The moments fled?or like the stream ] That gurgled at our feet. ; < From the Baltimore Sun.

At Dr. Spaulding's missionary , room at Damascus, ;i regular Boston stove dif- ( . fused a comfort that could nowhere else be found . in the town. Old as Palestine is, as the residence of civili- ' . zed man, there is not one decent road, five rods long, in the whole territory. Paths are struck f out Wlltsrc vuv .^?>vowoivi4V5 VI tiiU it'ildl mud, over any one's field, and through any proinises the rider chooses to go. If Herod the r Great, whose passion for building magnificent cities was equal to Abba Pasha's in Egypt fur (i creating palaces, had made five miles of good [ road from Jerusalem towards Jaffa, he would ( have conferred a blessing on his abused and degraded country. I have roamed over the stupendous ruins which mark the ambition of that } energetic but wicked wretch, with feelings that } were never called into activity in stepping from ~ one fallen column to another in any province, j j With all his determined ambition to leave endu-1 ( * ring monuments in granite that would withstand the assaults of the elements or the destructive agencies of conquerors in after years, the besom of destruction has swept them all, all away, and Cjcsarea, the magnificent capital of Judea, has not one human being within its boundaries. The only living thing in sight, where there were the finest specimens of architecture?palaces beyond palaces, and marble, an exhibition of wealth and refinement, while he was in the meridian of his glory?was bne solitary horse, feeding among crushed fragments of sculptured stone, as I passed over the lonely site of a once grand and beautiful residence or splendid court. From the days of the Jebusites, whose capital was the present rook on which Jerusalem l.nvn W1 Mt'lIKO, U\<JIJ SUUUWIIC MIIV UIIV4 possession of Palestine have fixed their habitations on the very pinnacles of the mountains. Every town and village, therefore, is up somewhere. No one resides in a valley. From some hill tops the spectator has an admirable view of many distant places that appear quite near; but to reaeli any of them he must descend a mile or so, and cross a horrible ravine or yawning gorge, and subsequently wind up and onward like the gyrations of a corkscrew, for ten or twenty hours, to get at the proposed settlement. Miles are unheard-of things in Palestine. Everybody speaks of hours who designs a movement. It is seven hours to one place, for example, two to somewhere else, and forty to another. The making of a jaunt through tue Holy Land of Syria is an expensive affair indeed. There must be pack mules for carrying beds, food, and all that may be required from day to day. Three persons could not do well without two ; and there must be a cook, a muleteer, a dragoman, who [Iocs all the talking and answers all your questions, for the Arabic is difficult to acquire, and, without an interpreter, it is itnposible to know where you are, or what you see. Finally, each rider is mounted on a horse, who is followed by i groom, and he must have a mule to carry the provender. All this makes a kind of caravan? i long string of animals, slowly winding up and Jown the horrible trails of the laud, single tile, rt the rate of two or three miles only an hour. In the course of the day, many places of pe- < iuliar interest, mentioned in the Old Testament, < are distinctly seen, which arc not approached. When I stood at Bethel, Ram ah was in full sight, ind the mosque over the tomb of Samuel, the . prophet. Both Iloran the Upper, and Gibcon i llso, where Joshua took a position when he said, ' Sun, stand thou still upon Gibcon, and thou Moon, in the valley of Ajalon," and other localities of immence interest to the biblical scholar ind sacred geographer. At night, it is necessa v to seek a stopping place in a village for sccuaty. Beyond a town or hamlet, there is not a .ingle habitation. All lodge in the same apartment, on the ground, :>n your own beds, surrounded by armies of insects eager for your blood. Boor things, if it were not for strangers, fleas would soon be extinct, for they seem to despise an Arab, who sleeps sound in defiance of their nippers. Horses, cows, camels, goats, dogs, and the family, are not unfrequentlv congregated in one room. 1 no j night before reaching Damascus, we suffered ex- j :*eedingly on account of the multitude of lodgers : in one room?for the landlord had, in addition j to all the beasts and creeping things of Noah's irk, three wives, with their restless children. The reason for taking hill tops for towns has j reference, in the first place, to security; they can i discover the approach of visiters, and, if thev don't j like them, keep them at bay with the balls always j hand?greats tones?which once put i i motion, j would sweep through all opposition. Secondly, j when the winter rains s<*t hi, the gorges arc filled . with angry torrents that gorge out of the side j hills, so that not a resting place or a house could be found. An air of desolation reigns everywhere, and every person you meet is armed to : the teeth with pistols, blunderbusses, long guns, dirks, spears, down to a simple club. Although au advocate for peace, and almost non-resistant in sentiment, I have been lugging ! \ stout horse pistol all over the country, know- ! ing not what might happen. Had an attack i been made upon our train, I am quite sure 1 < hould have run, for I have a mortal antipathy 1 ;o powder. i The majority of the inhabitants are idle, and i imc is of no account. A very few do all the : lrudgery, and the rest smoke. Why it is the 1 jreat pursuit of a long life to smoke. The rich- 1 ;r the individual, the better is the quality of his obacco, and the longer the flexible stem of bis i largelch. One everlasting cloud of smoke, the 1 product of more pipes than there are virtues in . die possession of the twelve tribes, is perpetual- I y rising to the zenith throughout the length and jreadtli of the Land of 1 'romisc. From the Scientific American. > Right Air. It is a prevalent idea that night air is not so icalthy as the atmosphere when under the inluenco of light. This opinion must have origin- i ited from some cause, or else it must he set < lown among old wive'sfables. Noonceverhad i m opinion that the composition of air was elian red during the night hours, but certainly if. is veil known, that air and the atmosphere are two liflercnt things. The atmosphere?that ocean n which we continually bathe, and on which we jontinually feed, often becomes unfit for respira,ion by extraneous matter floating in it, under !..? Jiff,../...! nnmna r>f minsnifi infurfinn Arc Tf Jli; uiiiuviiu imuivj v? . .<vvv>v>.) ^v? *v ? las boon said, "the belief of night air being inurious, is an error which has hindered the introluction of ventilation more, than all others." This ,ve do not believe, for it is well known that the . fflnvia of marshes is the most dangerous during i light hours, and those who are exposed to the light air in any country, except upon t he ocean, < lever enjoyed such good health as those who are protected from its influence. The domestic aninals, such as cows and horses, which are housed ivory night in summer, "do better," as the far mere say, than those which are exposed to the free ventilation of chilling damps, and the extraneous gasses which sluggishly float near the earth's surface at night, owing to the absence of the sun, which, during the day, carries them up like the clew, above the stratum in which we live and walk. No one ever supposed that the pure atmosphere had anything to do with causing the death of persons exposed at night within the tropics; nor does it produce the cough of the consumptive and asthmatic, nor the languor and misery which the sick so freely cxpe nence. These and other sufferings experienced more particularly at night, are caused by carbonic acid, absence of sun-light, rapid reduction of r temjK?rature, the air being saturated with moisture, <fcc., and not by the air without which we cannot live five minutes. It is absurd to suppose that fresh air supports our life and destroys our health at one and the same time. The same thing cahuot possess the utterly incompatible character of good and evil, of supporting life and destroying it. It is all nonsense to talk about pure air being hurtful to life and health, at any season by night and day; but while carbonic acid, absence of sun-light, rapid reduction of temperature, the atmosphere saturated with moisture, Arc., at night are causes of sickness and suffering, it is no error to believe that the night atmosphere is often injurious to health. A belief in this need not prevent good ventilation, for ifcotton cloth screens be placed in windows during night hours, a free ventilation is obtained, and the air is somewhat rarified before it enters the apartments; this meets all the necessary coiuli tions of freedom from exposure, and a plentiful supply of :is good air as can be obtained. Those < who believe that constant exposure to night air is not injurious have never had the good fortune I of trusting to that notable appendage, placed so i prominently on man's front for a detector, viz: ] a good olfactory explorer. i i From the South Carolinian. J Popular Education. j , This subject has been too much neglected in i our State, or, if attended to, the legislation con- t cerning it has not been marked with sound poli i i-y. As our next legislature will be fresh from the people, and the representatives presumed to know the wants of their constituents in the respective sections of the State, we trust that the whole subject of popular education will be thoroughly investigated, and a reform in our present I system be vigorously and energetically com- 1 Tf !< nnf nnr lnwmnkftrs I will have much politics, State or Federal, to talk 1 over at the approaching session, so that ample '< time will he afforded for those measures wicli will ? tend to benefit the people, and place South Caro- < lina in her legitimate position in this age of pro* 1 gross. t In glancing over the new Constitution of Loui- H siana, just adopted by the Convention of that 1 State, we find the following clauses regarding 1 " public education 1 " Aur 135. There shall be elected a superin- < tendent of public education, who shall hold his office for the term of two years. Ilis duties f shall be prescribed by law, and he shall receive 1 such compensation as the Legislature may direct; c provided that the General Assembly shall have power by a vote of the majority of the mem- 1 bers elected to both houses, to abolish the said c office of superintendent of public education, j whenever in their opinion said office shall be no ^ longer necessary. * u Aur. 130. The General Assembly shall cs- t tablish free public schools throughout the State,' ' and shall provide for their support by general | ' taxation on property or otherwise; and all mo- ' neves so raised or provided shall be distributed 1 to each parish in proportion to the number of free white children between such ages as shall \ be fixed by the General Assembly. f "Art. i:*7. The proceeds of all lands here- t tofore granted by the United States to this State 1 for the use or support of schools, and of all v lands which may hereafter be granted or be- c [pieathcd to the State, and not expressly grant- t ed or bequeathed for any other purpose, which c hereafter may be disposed of by the State, and t the proceeds of the estates of deceased persons r to which the State may become entitled by law, v shall be held by the State as a loan, and shall c be and remain a perpetual fund, on which the c State shall pay annual interest of six per cent; r which interest, together with the interest on the - trust funds deposited with this State. by the United States, under I he act of Congress, approved fune 'J-'J, 18'H., and all the rents <>f the unsold lands, shall be appropriated to the support of aicli schools, and this appropriation shall remain inviolable." 'J'hese provision:, in our humble opinion, are well calculated to*proiuutc popular education. The very first step which our Legislature should take is the appointment of the Officer?superintendent of puhile education?mentioned above. Until such an appointment, wisely made, of course, we fear the system, no matter how patched and amended, will never be effective in its operations. This officer would fuel his responsibility, would bend all his energies to the task which would devolve upon him, and devoting his whole time to a minute investigation of eve r.oint to nr. n 1 iii'tivi. ot' nroiiil liis lirst. report, if lie be a competent man, and has 1 the subject at heart, will demonstrate that our i free school system, as heretofore carried on, was j a profitless expenditure of the public funds. i The distribution of the school fund, aecordi g i to the present system, is complained of. Above, i it will lie seen that Louisianna distributes her s fund in proportion to the number of free white ( children in each district. This is equitable, hut i we should thinkthat the insertion of "poor or t destitute" before "free white children" would bet- i I....

There is still another rea- tl son for this basis of distribution. The children J of the country districts arc more likely to become ; sc and remain citizens of the State, than those chil- 1 fr dreh who would receive the benefits in Charles- 1 fl< ton. tl We trust that the people will impress upon tl their representatives the great importance of | pi giving life and efficacy to our common school [ as system, so that the money expended may be of a some service to the State.

They are expected ai to feel for every one but themselves?to correct ta public abuses, and private ones also, without , giving offence; to sustain the difficulties of oth?rs, without regard to their own?to condemn a* improper measures of every one and no one at Wl the same time.

In The last intelligence from the United States, 4C >rings tidings of two important facts?first, that tu lie Democratic candidate, (Jen. Pierce, a name 1M inktiown to European fame, had protiouncd a w' uneral oration over the ashes of I lenry Clay? ind, secondly, that the Whigs of the Union, 111 lisgusted with the nomination of Gen. Scott, had letcrniincd unfettered by the nomination at Bal- tu imorc, to start as a candidate for the Presidency tu lie brilliant and accomplished Daniel Webster. ar These arc very important results, and those who l" ead the great volume of human nature, as it 111 Kisses under their eyes, cannot fail to be struck ivit.h the extraordinary anomalies which such in- no :idents present. 'ia As regards England, public sympathy, it is teedless to say, is enlisted on the side of the te] democratic candidate. Not that den. Pierce is lonsidered the better man. Far otherwise, lie s merely accepted as the nominee of that great ?arty in the Union who desire to push the prin- an iple of Free trade toils utmost limits?to afford 011 ustioo to every class, and to give to the great >a\on community on the western shores of tho f? Vtlnntic the same benefits resulting from unlet- 1S ered commerce which the people of England luring the last few years have enjoyed. Look- 1,11 ug at the position of the two countries, it is narvellous that anything in the shape of a Pro- co cctionist can be founu to exist in America. an With England the case is far different. Here 0t^ ve have a privileged class, the aristocracy, who br centuries have nude tho laws, and framed l''1 hem so cleverly and so cunningly, that they esi lave escaped their lair share of the burthens I'hieh all other classes have been compelled to sl( ontributc to the State. In making the food of he people atificially dear, no mistake can he ?' ntertaim d as to the selfish policy which dicta- Co cd such a course. This protection raised the out roll of the owner of the soil, and the people *01 rore denuded of their fair share of a primary nocssary of life, in order that the farmer, the tiller if the earth, might he enabled to pay a greater do t,.

They are the Proteetioi isls of the Unon. lUit what have they to protect, as the ill rase is understood in Kngland They .ahound n the groat cities on the sea hoard, arc engaged pa n commerce, and live |?>r the most part hy that nterchange of commodities, which is the very no ioul of trade. It has been held, and we lmliove orrcctly, that a trade or a profession whieh cantot lirolcct itself?which lives at the expense of |nj lie rest of the community, is an incubus on the ()|, ndustry of the whole people. Wo enn undoritaiid why certain classes in Pennsylvania and NVw England, which eaiinot hold their ground igainst the manufactured products of (?rent a drilaiu. should clamour for protection; but we bii annot for the life of us understand why the peo!eof New York, Boston, Baltimore, or elsewhere, hould desire to tax themselves, in order to snport those classes who cannot in the face of fair ompctition, and with a heavy import duty in leir favor, protect themselves. This policy seems ) us suicidal, for the position of the American V'hig is in every point of view so dissimilar to lat of the British landlord, that not the slightit trace of analogy can he traced between lem. Turn to the other party. The Democratic !ction of the Union derives its strength mainly om the southern ana western Mates, winch ourish by what they raise from the soil. To ictn, Free trade with England is as essential as jo air they breathe. As an outlet for their sur [us produce, the connexion is invaluable, and i we admit their products duty free, it becomes matter of the first consideration on their parts, lat our skilled labor should receive as nearly as >ssiblc equal impartiality. A reduction of the merican tariff has .been found by experience to ork well for both England and America. It has is cheapened to the people of the Union the oducts of the first-named country, and by rgely increasing the imports, has even increasl the revenue. In tact, it ha's produced in mcrica, exactly the same results as in England, ic national exchequer in both cases has been mefitted, and correspondingly, the comforts of ic people of both countries have been increased. From the Boston Traveller. Education and Longevity. General intelligence in a community operates many ways in behalf of the continuance^of hu_I i. e ; J if. an me. u uoes so oy iavormg mai morality id virtue, the want of which, by leading to fal indulgences sends so many to tnKgrave. It >es so bv making men acquainted with the ws of life, by which so many of its foes may be oklcd. It does so by furnishing communities tli a knowledge of the various remedies which pcrience and skill have brought to light for the lief of human woe. But let us see how statistics confirm this po,ion. A celebrated Belgian philosopher has me into this subject with great ability, and has ought to light some interesting facts. He 111 pares England and the Mexican state of Guanuato as two extremes of the scale of civilization. England there are fifty eight inhabitants to one nth, in the latter nineteen; deaths being three nes as numerous in the one as the other, in oportion. England is a highly civilized State: bile in Guannaxuato, the mass of physical, mo1 and political pollution is of an applying mag- . tudc. " # "With advancing civilization the rate of propormahle mortality decreases. In the 17th cenry the annual number of deaths in London use to 21,000. One hundred years later, though me was a great increase of population, the miber was but 1 /,00. In the middle of the >t century, the annual mortality was 1 in 20; iw it is only 1 in 40; having diminished onetlf. We reach similar interesting results if we conmplute men in different social positions. Of a thousand persons in agricultural distircts in igland, where education more widely prevails, 350 reached the age of forty years; while of equal number in the manufacturing districts, ily 1,010 survived to reach that age. A comparison in Fiance between 1,000 pern in high rank with 2,000 in a section of Parcontaining ragmen, sweepers day laborers, &c. owed a morality twice as great among the forer. Ily looking over the tables ol Life Insurance mpanies, we ascertain a very great martality long the uneducated poor, compared with the ucated classes. Ca?per, of Berlin, has made some curious execution in the great Held of human -longevity, pecially in reference to the influence of the protons on mortality. 1 le arrives at the conclu... tU.it ..f .,11 <1,., U <1 < ;ii unit "i ?111 iiiu iiiinu iMiir?iuu"? ui iiiciif uiiit the clerical professions stands the best chance jyiviii** its incumbents a green old age.

A short time since, the town uncil and citizens, for the purpose of obtaining sufficient sunolv of water to admit of its beinir ndueted, in pipes, from the well to the jail d private residences in the vicinity, contracted tli Mr. X.
