tFrom the Cincinnati American. l A LITERARY GEM.

Mr Edttor.-The truth conveyed in the following extract, is so happily conceived and expressed that
 am induced to request place for it in your valuable Paper;-beleving that it will be to most of your readers, do not doubt that it will be acceptable to them. and gratifying to all but those whose sense of vision is Obscured to prevent them from seeing its comeliness. Yours, SELECTOR.
 "Why are so many good people SO much divided in their views of the scriptures seeing that they have but one Bible, and all read it in the same anguagea Because they belong to different sects and have diff: ferent systems, and they rather make the Bible bow to their own system, received by tradition from teir fathers, than to make their system bow to the Bible or Tn other words, each man. too generally views the Bible through the medium of his system, and, of course, twill appear to him to favor it. Just as if A, B, and c, should each put on different cooured glasses, puts on green spectaces, B yellow, and C blue; each one looks through his own glasses at piece of white paper, and each concludes that he IS right not remembering that he has his specta- cles on. Thus, to it appaars green, to B yellow, and to c blue They begin to aTgus on the subject, and it is impossible for any of them to convince another that he is wrong, each feels a conviction next to absolute certainty that his opinion is right But D, who has no spectacles on, and who is stand- ing looking on, during the contest very well knows that they are all wrong. He sees the spectaces on each mans nose, and easily accounts for the difer- ence. Thus one professor reads the Bible with John Calvin on his nose, another with John Wesley on his nose, third with John Gill on his nose, and fourth with good old Thomas Boston, or the good old lights of Scotland. Thrice happy is the man who lifts the Bible if it had dropt from Heaven into his hand alone, and whose eyes are annointed with the true eye salve that he may see."

From the Ncw-York Journal of Commerce May 21 SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
 HIGHLY IMPORTANT.

The packet ship Canada, Captain Macy, was boarded by our news schooner Journal of Commerce yesterday afternoon, about hall past two o'clock, outside the bar. We receiv- ed our papers, to the 18th April from London, and 10th from Liverpool, Preston and Glas- gow, all inclusive, three or four hours before any other accounts were up from the ship.- It will be seen that the Russians have been signally defeated by the Poles in two or three successive engagements, s,-that the Provinces in the rear of the invaders are rising en masse to second the efforts of their brethren,-and that formidable insurrection has en place in the dominions of the Sultan. The answer of the Austrian government to the French ul- timatum ralative to the affairs of Italy. had not been received.
 DISTURBANCES IN IRELAND. Horrible 4NdsSacre.-Anothe foul plot in the character of the peasantry of Clare-ano- ther and more hideous deed of blood to be re- corded in the black catalogue of murder and outrage which have now made the whole country one scene of terror and desolation.- This sanguinary outrage thus originated Easter Monday is generally holyday or pat tern in the country, devoted to idle amuse- ments, if not more mischievous frolics. On this day the police party at Dooln, which is | silent and remote station in the direction of Ennistimon, had information that emissa res from the insurgents were actively engag- ed in administering unlawful oaths to the pea santry. Five policemen accordingly left the barrack, and come to house where they ac- tually caught two fellows in the act of swear ing the inmates to the whiteboy oath These two they made prisoners, and were bringing in custody to Doolin, when the country peo- pie assembled in great crowds and attacked the police with stones. The police retreat ed before the multitude, which soon increased to most riotous mob, armed with every sort of missiles, which they flung at the party with deadly aim. The police commenced firing at the assailants until all their ammunition was expended. Weak from the loss of blood and the numerous blows received in the conflict, the police now became an easy prey to theil enemies, who, rushing down with horrd yell, closed upon the unfortunate men in over. whelming numbers, seized their fire arms, trampled the men to the earth, and literally stoned them to death. The bodies of the five policemen, which presented most revoltine spectacle of barbarity, were removed yester. day, and conveyed on cars to Ennis, to be thi. day exhibited before his Excellency.-Li l nerick Chronicle.

A PASSAGE FROM THE "NocrEs." /"

Shepherd.-What say you to mule? Norh.-The Young American in his most amus- ing volumes, "A Year in Spain," has exhausted the subject.
 Shepherd.-What's you wull, sir2
 North -'I hate mule," says he, "most devoutly for there is something abortive in every thing it does even to it's very bray An ass, on the contrary has something hearty and whoe-souled about it. Ali jack begins his bray with modest whistle, rising gradu- ally to the top of his powers like the progressive elo quence of well adjusted oration, and then, as gra- dually decningto natural conclusion; but the mule commences with voice like thunder, and then, asif sorry for what he has done, he stops like bully when throtted in the midst of threat. or a clown who has began fine speech and has not the cour- age to finish it."

SONG.
BY W. ROSCOE, ESQ

BY W. ROSCOE, ESQ. Quench not the light that soon must fade, Nor damp the fire that soon must die, Nor let to-morrow's ills invade
 The hour to-day devotes to joy. An! who with muscs softest swell Would mingle sorrows piercing moan I Or to the bounding spirit tell
 How soon the charm of life is flown7 Say, is the roses scent less sweet
 Because its bloom must soon decay7 Or shall we shut the bliss to meet That cannot here forever stay? No-by the power that bliss who gave, This hour we'll from the future borrow, And, all that fate allows us save
 From the dread shpwreck of tomorrow.

Love in the myrtle bloom is seen,
 Remembrance to the violet clings; Peace brightens in the olive green,
 Hope from the halEclosed iris springs, And vict'ry on the laurel grows,
