 DEATH.

Unveil her pallid brow, And let the shadowy light taii gently on those sunken lids Which crst have shone go bright, Sure 'tis not fcarfidi, thus To gaze upon the dead-- To hold sweet converse with the form From which the spirits fled! Look on that pale, wan check, Where blushes once did play Ten Death has proy'd too weak tochas It's ioveiiness away. 4 smile upon those lips Is faintly ling ring yet. And kindly zephyrs sport among Those glossy enrls of jet But mark those faded eyes, Those dim and lifeless balls-- No spark of speaking fire remains Te lksindle .sssaasssioiis1 csasllsil Her restless spirits gone Beyond this scene of care Mid worlds of ether pure 1t flies, And breathes it's influence there. How sweet to gaze upon The innocent---the dead-- To bend athwart the lowiy pail Where beauty rests it's head

TIME.-Courteousreade if you have lived to be one and twenty without having learned that time is MONEY more emphatically MONEY than dollars and cents, you had better begin Jouf A, E, Cas, again. If you have made yeur own fortune, beware of robbing your friends of their TIME, whose fortunes are yet to be achieved by industry.

The ship Clelnatis, which left Havre February llth, arrived at Boston on she 17th March. The following ex- tracts from Paris papers to the 9th of the former month, are copied from the Boston Courier:-
 The Spanish Ambassador had sent off a courier to Madrid on business, it was supposed, ,havingreierence to the French expedition against Alglers. Very ac- tive preparations are making at Toulen for the expedition. Government had remitted to the Treasurer of the Navy at that port, twelve millions of francs to defray the first expenses of the war. All the ships, frigates, and other vessels sta- toned at Toulon, Brest, Rochefort, and L'0rient, are to rendezvous next April in the Mediterranean. 1iihe Pacha of Egyptis expected to take 9 part in the expedition. He is 10 send a feet and 5000 men, to act as auxiliaries, and to occupy Algiers for a certain time. ltis rumored.that the plague has been introduced into Pisa, by "a Russian fami- Y arrived there froEs Turkey, and that two had become it's victims.

FROM COLOMBIA.

By the sch'r February, Capt. Allen, we have received a Naracaybo paper of Feb. l4th, called El Literal del Sas- tia, and a letter of the Doth. The Gre surrectiono of this paper as t is called in the introduction, results from the late political changes; and the number be- fore us is the first which has been issued. It's appearance is thus announced:
 ". r. Jour. of Com.
 After two years of extinction and for getfulness, this periodical has renewed its existence under the same form and with the same tone which it received from public opinion in the latter part of 1927 and the beginning of 1898, and by which 1t made tyranny tremble. After athousand useless endeavors to influence its former editor by seductive means. it was imPudently attempted to controll him by cnrtalling the liberty of writing, and what IS more, to usurp the use of prlyate property, as was the press which (thanks to the impertinent conduct of a naandata,ao in publishing his own prais- es) has survived the prescription against its sacred rights. We are speaking in Maracalho, which witnessed the outra- ges, and is still pained by the memory of the 27h January 1928, when the res ponslble man connected with this pa- per, and seven other patriots, were ban ished to Curracoa, in order that despo- tism might quietly ascend its throne
 thatthere might be neither persons nor means to deEoanee its iniquitous plans --to prepare in duo time ard inailence.

ply. that mankind is under no moral oD- ligation to refrain from secular labor on any day of the weekg Is It not Tn di- rect opposition to the received oPlnlon of almost all protesting Christlans2 1t is to that part of the law, more partlcu- larly, which requires, ;n terms, all the postmasters throughout the U. States to deliver letters, packets, and papers, on every day of the week, to which the minority of your committee object, and which is most offensive to the petition CTS. h this statute is at once seen a palpable encroachment on the rights of conscience. It either drives every man, who feels himself morally bound to ob- serve the sabbath in religious manner, from inc service ofhis country, and equal participation in her fayors, or subjects him to the hard terms of remaining in office. at the expenseof his principles. Lis freely acknowledged, that the works of necessity and mercy are not forbid den: and, if the transportation of the mail off Sunday, could be justified on that ground, (which is not admitted) it cannot be contendea, that the keeping open offices, where no mail arrives on that day, is the work of necessity.
 The arguments which have been urged for the transportation of the mail, &c. on the Sabbath, are mainly derived from commercial convenience, and from alleged defangement of business and in- tercoufse. This doctrine initiates against the first principles Of good nor aIs. If these are important at all, they are paramount tothe claims of fexpedien- cy: but this plea makes them subservi- ent 10 the. pressure ofworldIy business, and converts them into mere questions Of profit ree fl: sfiiittii sssfiiitti loss.
 Granting the prayer of the petitioners cannot interfere with the religious feel ings or consciences of any portion of the citizens; because, they ask no service to be performed--no principle to be pro- iessed. Itis only asked that certain du- ties be not required on 8 certain day. Were it imposing any service, or requir- ing the profession of any opinions, those whose religious sentiments were differ 9ent, might justly complain. But hewho conscientiousiy believes that he is bound .feebserve the seventh fay of the week. in religious manner, can have no just reasosl to complain, because, Govern ment takes nothing from him, in per, hitting all classes of citizens to observe the first day of the week as day of re ligioas rest. The case would be quite different did the privilege of resting on that day, impose any thing on any class of citizens, contrary to their conscience. Therefore,
 Resoiuea, That it is expedient to grant the prayer of the petitioners.
