A friend of mine has recently receiv.
ed letters from Norfolk by the steam

in the post Office of the latter city-the
postage on which was twelve cents, ,ha,
is ten cents for the customary land pos.

steamboat, direct from Norfolk, 1874 cts
Is this too an impartial distribution Of
justice ? We all remember that in MIR.
Meigs's zeal for increasing the post OF
ice revenue last session of congress, he
was for taxing the poor printers, prohibi.

several other equally liberal propositions;

man all due credit for his good Intentions
and whilst the citizens of this district
will ever be found prompt in contribut.

which the public good may require
they are not disposed to tamely submit,

Of the Commissioners upon the Boundary

they stare when they are told that the

be considerably heightened, when we as

sight Of a steam boat, gliding msjestIcally

hailed with wonder and surprise by the "a
borigines of our country yet, however
incredible it may appear 10 some, we have
no doubt but that the time is not far dis

1t is but little more than two years since
we witnessed the first arrival OF steam
boat at the town OF Arkansas; and not yet
four months, since we announced the alri-
val of the first steam boat that ever ascen-
ded the Arkansas to this place. But that
which was novelty to many of our citi-
zens few months ago, has become fami-

four passages made great distance into

and in future, will look for their return
with the same regularity with which they
look for the return of the seasons.

Just, the frowns of society, still we find
men so weak, so rash, yet tiinid: unable
to bear up in q manly manner against
the frowns of tickle fortune, rushing IN
to- the presence Of their God, uncalled
for, (" unannointed, unanealed." If the
obligations which are due to the Divine
Author Of our existence, are thus sport-
ed with; if the obligations duets socie
" are disregarded; if the world to
come if future fame and honor. and
life everlasting are held thus light and
trivial, what is to become Of Us?
Men when they enter into public life
orpursue any business ofhazard, should
be ever prepared to meet the reserses
with fortitude and resignation. There
is scarcely any pursuit which has not
its corresponding risks and dangers.
A gale Of wiad drives vessel on shore
and destroys the hope of the adventu-
rer, fire consumes the warehouse OF
the merchant; pestilence stops his
trade /; q friend fails, owing him money.
These are the natural consequences
which may happen in trade; shall we
then joyfully participate in the bless
ings of a golden harvest, yet shrink ap.
palled from the frowns Of fate? If we
are to believe that our destinies are in
the hands Of an all seeing Providence
and "that they are, all nature cries a.
loud" why rebel against his will, why
attempt to resist HE decree? Submit
humbly to his dispensations, and with
chastened humility and grateful feel.
ings bow before the supreme arbiter of
the universe, Apart from the immor-
al effects and pernicious tendency Of
suicide, there is something cowardly in
the act itself. Man feare to face misfor-
tune, and shrinks from trouble and ca
lamity he resorts to the pistol or poi
son for relief, as the incorporate man
flies to liquor to assuage his woes.
Suicide, committed to avoid tho i'm.
portunity of creditors, is dishonorable.
If you cannot pay your debts. there is a
moral obligation for You to live, in or
der to labor for that purpose: the Life
Of a debtor is the property of his cred
itor. and the worst kind Of fraud 10 to
deprive him oft. In this state, an UNI
fortunate man In business is never dri-
ven to despair. If he fails. owing to a.
ny cause, he has only to call his credi-
tors together, and share among them all
that he has left, and be free man a.
gain. The walls Of prison have no
terrors in such cases, as the inmates Of
our prison are the poorest class, and
confined for the most trifiing sums.
There is no terror in the law which can
drive man to despair. We have dali
ly instances Of the fickleness Of fortune,
which smiles to-day and frowns to-mor-
row. With as much reason may we
plunge into the sea because the sun
does not shine, as to commit suicide be-
cause we have no money to pay our
debts. Weak minds may be victims to
such despair; but frmness in adverse.
ty, and mildness in prosperity, qualities

is heir to-" Nat. Adp,-
