mited to copy the following extract:-"I sup

disturbance in America few years since. Hs
is now at this place. He has turned Turk for
life aud wears the turbap. He spoke to m:
yesterday when I went ashore and told me III,

times, have come from Smyrna We shc4E
think tina, those who have been so deeply IN.
pica,ed in the abduction Of Morgau,-if tie!

A NEW YEARS ANTHEM.
BIZ DANIEL
Together, freemen, let US humbly raise
The homage OF our hearts in grateful praise
To Him, whose power the circfng orbs sustains,
And binds their wheels in orders golden chains;-
To him whose hand the Universe uphOlds,
And all its changes and its charms uniolds:-
To him let earth, on this exulting day,
Her offerings bear, her gratitude display;
For while the stars. the moon, and glorious sun.
For her. through heaven, their radiant courses run,
Pour on her fruitful breast their floods of light,
Create her day, and cheer her solemn night,
Her varied season in succession brings,
Her wintry grandeur and rejoicing Spring,
Her summer splendours, and autumnal stores,
With all the wealth that crowns her. thousand shores;
From Him, our God. these countless blessings flow,
To him our hearts adoring tribute owe.
While in our eye still, swms the mournful tear,
As mem'ry droops DER the departed year;
While still we listen 10 its plantive drge.
In darkness borne DER Times retiring surge,
And hear its melancholy warnings sigh
This deep moniten-"Man, prepare to die"
The loftiest themes OF mingled grief and Joy
Our musings claim, our purest thoughts employ.
Ills meet that we should mourn for murdered time,
For deeds undone, for foliies, and for crime
That we should blush DER that disgraceful page,
Which tells Of freedoms wrongs from factions rage;
OF social scenes by party brands inhamed-
OF honour Sutherland purest hearts DETAINED!
Which tells the world how passions headlOng zeal,
Can blind the free and good to their own veal
Can change to Ill what heaven designed should bless
And drug with desdlliest bane the public press.
While buried time proclaims mortal doom,
Brreayed affection weeps Ger many tomb
Where kindred bosoms cold and lifeless, lie
Beneath the new-raisei turf and freezing sky.
But mercy's sunshine giids our falling tears
And Hopes sweet song our pilgrim pathway cheers
Unnumbered blessings Ger the nation Aow,
And peace still crowns US with her heaven'y bow.
When sorrows darkest clouds around us spread,
Still through the gloom a ray Of light is shed,
Which bids us lift our wandering thoughts on high,
Revere our God, and i've would die!

The mention Of the simple system Of laws, or
rather Of no a,Os, which was sufficient to regu-
late the fest establishment of the Miners on
Fever River, Illinois, reminds US of tradition
about one OF the early settlers on the Kennebec
River, (Me.) He was a man of most excellent
humor and at the same time, OF a reasonable
degree Of regard for moral duty. His associa-
ties, Of course, had their share of the vices Of
all pioneers In the settlement Of new country,
and ridicule was the weapon he employed 10
punish them. He always went by the name Of
oils Majesty" The first law Of his kingdom
was, never 10 tell the truth, when lie would
do Better; the second never TO tell two lies,
when one would answer. His immediate de-
pendants were all ,i:led. A thorough rogue
was General, and as the individuals charac-
acter approached that Of an honest man, his III
tie was lessened. One who had learnt roguery
enough to be called "Colonel," one day punc-
tually kept his promise 10 prepare a certain
quantity OF wicker baskets ready for use, on
day certain: he was by "His Majesty" degrad~
ed, for so doing from his Colonelcy 10 = Cap
taincy. As was always the case, in this in
stance, ellis Majesty" paid the cash for the
baskets. The next day, having occasion to use
them, they could not be found, and It was, al
last discovered, that the ci-devani Colonel, az
ter receiving. his pay, had erafiiIy taken the
baskets too, and resold them to the next trader.
It's Deedless to add, that the Colonel was
restored TO his lost rauk, and considered a fair
candidate for new promotion.

contains translation of the inaugural address
Of Guerrero 70 the Representatives in the Mex
lean Congress, on his being induc.ed into Of
fee on the first Of April last, together with
some extracts from his manifesto to the people.
The Message is of dig ni6ed character. In
the manifesto, he processes his attachment to
the federal system, as established by The con.
sritution of 1924; and 10 ",he holy religion OF
Jesus Christ" lie declares thai the ports OF
Mexico will he open 10 all nations, SO long as
frarkness and reciprocity regulate their con'
duct; and ,ha, as soon as the stare Of the treas.
ury will permit, he win complete the diplo-
matte circle; and adds:
Il see nothing difficult in bringing our re.
la,ions in contact, SO that the power Of all the
modern Republics Of America, shall be com.
bined 10 sustain their independence against the
attacks Of Spain, nay, to oppose the inveterate
habits and endeavors Of an entire Continent,
which has placed on its affairs, the idol OF legi.-
imacy."
