DOMESTIC H.aPPL.NESS.

'Tis not scenes of festive pleasure,
Splendd equipage and dress,
Hoarded heaps Of glitterlng treasure,
Can bestow true happiness.
No, the sweetest Joy arises,
From domestic dear delights;
Where the peace that virtue prizes,
With attractive power unites.
Far from scenes OF sad vexation,,
Happy they who can remove
To their tranquil habitation,
Blest with competence and love,
Where good nature ever smiling,
Kindies joy in every heart;
And affection, grief beguiling,
Sweetest pleasure can impart:
Piety the scene adorning,
With lustre all divine,
Brings to view the glorious morning,
When their joys shall brighter shine.
Earth's delights at best are heeting,
Every pleasure has its pain;
But when these are all retreatings
IT'S TO bloom more fair again.
o how lovely is the dwelling,
Where such Joys as these abound,
Each enjoymen mt sure foretelling,
All with glory shall be crowned.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

we have presented our readers with an abstract
Of the latest foreign news. The state OF Europe
appears far from being settled. ireland is IN a
state little short Of actual rebellion, and the most
horrid excuses are committed in various parts
France is not altogether quiet: should there be
truth in the report Of the death Of Louis XVIII,
there will no doubt be CONFUSION and an attempt
TO put young Napoleon on the throne in opposition
10 the count d'Artois. The event OF the king
death is not in the least improbable the news
however comes by circuitous route from Spain
via Havanna). From Spain, the accounts would
induce US 10 portend some disaster; the revoiu-
tonary spirit is active IAN attempt has been
made by the French emgrants on the frontiers Of
Navarro and Guipuzcoa, 10 overthrow the new con
atitution and we should not be surprised II all The
horrors of the French revolution were reacted in
Spain. AS regards turkey. the designs OF the
Emperor Alexander are pretty obvious ;--he is
longing to annes; some further portion OF the pos,
sessions Of the Porte to his dominions.

Aae politics; is as prudent in the administration, as II
would be for general to ecamp his forces within sight
of the enemy and dispense with sentinels and piqnet
guards trusting the enemys generosity in not molest-
inr him. We coincide with the following observations
from the pen of Mr. Niles on this subjects he says "There
is one thing however, appetainng to this appointment
the practice of which shall not cease to condemn as
Tong the liberty of speech and of the press remain to

credit upon his spirit We would ask the Albany gentle

ONE OF MANY.


There are set of men in these degenerate days,
who seem never satisfied but in subverng the es-
tablished order Of society. Our sacred institutions
offer no barrier to their Unsuitable thirst for uniyer-
sal revolution. The good and the bad must mingle
together, the shepherd Of Israel be lost in the herd
They attack the religion of our orelathers and sap
the vital spring of our existence by freezing the
avenues of charity, that have been SO freely opened
Ito build churches, ard relieve poor ministers who
lspendther time in travelling and ro and under
going great privations for the salvation of others:
and alter all their industry in defeating our disinter
ested labors in the Lords house. in caring for the
little ones they have now commenced on those
laudable and praseworthy establishments, that pro-
vide for the support Of the poor. Those monu-
ments Of national feeling, that tend to waken the
mind to the great and noble acts of feeding the
hungry and clothing the naked. Flow dreadful il is
to think Of being naked this cold weather, and hun
CRY besides, no FIRE to warm by and no vctuals to
eat How easy it is fer the rich to maintain the
poor. hope that the enlightened Legislature Of our
state will have enough Of the milk Of human kind
ness to consider the proprlety Of making ample
provision Tor the poor for by so doing they will
lay up great and lasting store in heaven, where
moth nor thief cannot touch it. Oh! ye who have
plenty of market money, who are full fed and wax
ling fat with the good things of this life, remember
that you only stewards distribute the overplus
Of your gains and that to give to the poor will only
| be to add to your store. You know very well that
the poor tax is but small annual payment, and
costs you but little exertion TO obtain it; and that those
small contributions, when collected, serve to keep
iGreat many in a comfortable and pleasant way and
those who have been calculating this legal calm
i to assistance would find it extremely inconyenen,
to dispense with it. This new doctrine of the poor
flaws being the cause of the present alarming in
crease of paupersm, is very convenient for the rich
land the selfish who want some excuse for their un.
charitable conduct. The popular notion tina, seems
to be gaining ground in this country, that popula
lon is governed by the means Of subsistence, arises
from the apprehension that the poor are growing
too numerous; but is it not evident that the surpu
: of The rich may well go to support the poor anc
NEEDY, as to spend it in extravaganza Therefore
Hope your charitable feelings will never let you agree
Ito the abolition OF the poor laws. PAUL.

For three or four years past questions relating TO
the banks in this state, have engrossed greater
share Of the Legislative attention than subjects Of
any other kind. So much of the time Of the gene.
raj assembly at the January and February session
lin 1920 was occupied by the bank bills introduced
and acted on, as to leave little of it to be devoted to
other business A bill for the further continuance

Thousands and tens of thousands or dollars in,

hazard nothing in saying that they have not on an

unwilling to pay to the government which gave
them their charters and projects them in the enjoy
