THE LAND OF THE LEAL.

ILere's land that We dream OF, when fancy is
free.
Distant and dim though tie visions NAV be-
Where the faithful and true. after sorrow!ul
years,
Shall meet, in delight, though they parted in
Here, love when t is brightest, is shaded
with care.
But distrust and dependence can never come
there
And its sweet TO believe Of the absent we love,
III We IN So them below, we shall meet them
above.
Alss-there is sorrow and doubt on the way

And 50 dark DE their maze, SO d nal their tai,
That Mercy ia vain may entreat their rec all.
Can you fail, with land OF such promise in

VIII you leave for the evil, the good and the

To reach that far country, o will you not strive,
Where never the ieet OF the slothful arrive!

Where the wretched are glad, the weary, at

Where sorrow IDS balm, and innocent bliss

PRooF THAT MANI is DEAD. A sub
scriLer to one of the Eastern papers, few
years ago, being sadly in arrears for the
same, promised the editor, that if his life
was spared TO certain day, he would with
out fail discharge his ILL. The day passed
and the bill was not paid. The natural con-
clusion therefore was, that the man was
dead absolutely defunct. Proceeding on
this conclusion, the editor, in his next pa
per, placed the name of the delinquent I'M
der his obituary head, with the attending
circumstances of time and place. Pretty
soon after this announcement the subject
of it appeared to the editor,-not with the
pale CHASTITY countenance usually ascribed
To apparitions-but with face as red as
scarlet. Neither did it, like other appari-
tons, wait 10 he first spoken to, but broke
silence" What sir, did you mean by pub
fishing my DEATH" "Why, sir, the same
that mean when publish the death Of any
other person, viz: to let the world know
that YOU were dead" "Well, but am not
dead" " Not dead then it's your own
fault, for you told me you would positively
pay your bill by such Il day, if you lived till
that time. The day is past, the bill is not
paid, and you positively must be dead-for
will not believe you would forfeit your
word-O no." al see you have got round
me, Mr.. Edtor-but say no more about it
here's the money. And, harkee, you wag,
Just contradict my death next week, will
you ?" 90 certainly. sir, just to please you
though upon my word cant help think
ing YOU dead at the time specified, and that
YOU have merely come back to pay this bill
on account of your friendship FOR me-"

"l1E THAT DIGGETH PIT SHALL FALL
THEREIN" The following remarkable in
cdent, which we are assured happened in
this city some years since, has never, to our
knowledge, been related in print "A
thoughtlcss young man went to an under
takers and ordered coffin for Mrs. -,
to be sent to certain number and street,
which he specified. The young man pos
sessed the appearance and manners of a
gentleman of respectability and the under
taker, not dreaming in the least Of any de-
ception, repaired to the place specified, with
the "narrow house," according to order.
On ringing the bell, genteel looking fe-
male came to the door, and was asked if
Mrs. such-a-one lived there, or had lived
there. "She lives here now," was the re-
ply; 81 am She" You % exclaimed the
dead, then? l was ordered to bring this
coffin for you" "For me p calculated the
lady, in voice of mingled terror and aston
shment, and tainted away. So strange an
incident produced the impression which
might naturally be expected, in a mind Of
ordinary sensibility, and it was sometime
before she recovered from its effects.
But the young man, who, in a thought
less moment, had committed so rash and
cruel piece of folly, did not SO easily es-
cape the consequences. The effect it pro-
duced on the lady, and the still more disas-
tIous result which might have followed it.
proved on his mind. He became melan.
choly, pinned in grief, fell into consumption
and, in little more than year required il
reality the sad office which he had under.
taken for the lady in mere joke and it sc
happened, that he was buried in the iden
teal coffin he had bespoken for her.

THE CENSUS.

We have witnessed, within the last few weeks, many calculations from the I'5ostt ii'- telligent sources, which leaves not doubt on our mind, that the present population of Arkansas, entities her to demand an ad- mission into the Union as Sister state.- Such a result is deyoutiy to be wished, and we take the liberty of suggesting to the Deputy Marshals great precision ln taking the census, as the oniymeans ofsun- dering our shackles and of giving us the rights and rank to which we are entitled. We might under such circumstances have the popOer ofpunishing delinquents at home, and demandag our rights abroad

ssnd while his face beamed pride, and oy, and confidence, he witnessed the close of the ceremony; and retiring amid burstsofenthusiastic appreciation, which he repeatedly and gracioasly acknow- iedued.-in all Il the posnp and glory of . king and conqueror, under the thunder Of artillery. he again alighted at the ThuiIleries.
 Thus ended the Camp de Mai, a spectacle of unrivalled grandeur,a a cer- cmony which seemed to mark the dy- nasty of France as settled forever, and the diadem placed on Napoleon's brow beyond the possibility of being removed. But in one short month, the red tleid of Waterloo too fatally demonstrated the fallacy of humancalcnlations.

The .amerjcon 1ar6.-It appears
 from the following paragraph, which
 we extract from an American newspa-
 per, that the heavy duties on woollen cloths have given rise to a.mode of eva sion which we think very few people
 would have dreamed of:-ss In regard
 to theetendency of the high duty sys-
 tenn to lead to smuggling, we shall re- cord 9 simple fact, which has been late
 ly communicatedto us. It is this. An agent from the house of Q London tail
 or, has been recently travelling thro' this country, for.the purpose of procur-
 ing orders for London made clothes. lie shows that under the present rates of duty, upon cloth and ready-made clothingy atpersen in this country can import suit ofelothes, in the regular
 way, at less price than that which he
 can procure them made up in this coun- try ofthe same quality, and he has suc- Iceeded in obtaining a considerable num-
 Der of orders. But this is not all. He gives the customer the option of receiY-
 ing the clothes at one of our Atlantic cities, or at sNontreql; and it is a fact, that amongst the orders received by him, during late visit to this city, several suits were engaged, deliverable in Mon
 treal next July or August, at the sea- son when so many of our citizens take
 a trip to Canada. Now who cannot
 foresee the consequences of longer perseverance in the present high duties? l?
 The nation will become a nation of !smugglers. The rich, who can afford
 to travel about during the summer-to visit the Falls of Niagara-to take the
 Northern Tour to Montreal and Que
 bee, will be able to evade the duties
 upon all their.own clothing, whilst the
 poor and working man, farm or his
 workshop,is obliged to pay from 45to 20 per.ct. duty on all his old clothes without the chance of escaping from a isingie tt. oif this exaclion whose whole
 range 'ofenloymentis limited to his. It is susceptible of proof, that all the ex- Ipenses of trip to Montreal from New
 York, can be saved by any one, who is Iable to buy a couple of suits of clothes
 ata time; and why should not expedi- tlons hereafter be entered upon, not for lthe purpose ofspending money, but for the purpose of making iitif'' it 1t certainly
 will be a strange consumption of the
 American schemes for encouraging do- rnestle industry, if, instead of finding employment for the woollen manufac,
 turers. they should throw all the taiIors cut of work.-Juanchester G,sardiq,s,
