Translated from the Gull Languag

Translated from the Gull Language,)
BY DR.. BoWRING. --Scripta Manent.
Twas graved Oh the stone of destlny,*
In letters four, and letters three:
And ne'er did the King of the Gulls go by
But those awful etters scared his eye;
For he knew prophet voice had said,
As long as those words by man were read,
The ancient race d the Gulls should meier
One hour of peace Or plenty share,
But years on years5uccessiye flew,
And the letters still more legible grew,
AT topa T. an H. an E.
And underneath, d. L. B. T.
Some thought them Hebrew--such as Jews,
Who deal more in Scrip than Scripture, use,
While some stumised twas an ancient way
IOf keeping accounts, (well known in the day
OF the famed Didlerious Jeremlas,
Who had hitherto wonderful blas,)
And proved in books most learn'dly boring,
Twas call'd the 'Pontick way of scoring
Howe'er this be, there never were yet
Seven letters of the alphabet,
That, 'twixt them, formed 50 grim spell,
Or scared land of Guls so well,
As did this awful riddle-me-ree
Of T. II. E; D. E: B. T,
Hark lis struggling Freedoms cry,
"IielP, help, we nations, or | die:
It's freedoms fight, aud on the field
Where expire, your doom is seal'd.n
The Gull King hears the awakening call,
lie hath summon'd his Peers and Patriots all
And asks, "Ye noble GulIs, shall we
Stand basely by at the fall of the Free,
Nor utter curse, nor deal a blow?"
And they answer with voice of thunder
"No."
Outfly their flashing swords in the air.-
But,--why do they rest suspended there?
What sudden blight, what baloful charm,
Hath child each eye, and checked each arm
Alas, some whitening hand hath thrown
The veil from off that fatal stone,
And pointed now, with sapess finger,
Showeth where dark those letters linger,--
Letters four, end letters three,
7. H. E. ID. E. B. T.
At sight thereof, each lifted brand
Powerless falls from every hand;
In vain the Patriot knits his brow
Even talk, his staple, fails him now.
In vain the King like hero treads,
His Lords of the Treasury shake their heads
And to all his talk Of ''brave aud free,n
No answer getteth His Majesty
But ST. II E. D. L. 3. T."
In short, the whole Gull nation feels
They're fairly spell! bound, neck and heels
And so, 10 face of the laughing world,
Must e'en sit down, with banners furi'd,
Adjourning all their dreams sublime
OF glorv aud war to--some other time.

PRISON DISCIPLINE SOCIETY.

We CLEAN the following facts from the
report of the Boston Prison Discipline
Society:
"Causes Of Crmes.-Among these are
reckoned indulgence of parents, dsobe-
'dience uncorreded, Sabbath breaking.
useless holidays, theatres, bad poor hous-
es and prisons, lotteries, especially in New
York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, are
an incalcnlabie evil. They have had a
most debasing influence on the colored
people in New York; and the prisons are
supplied with about one third of all their
inmates in that city from this-class of per-
sons. They suffer alo, from neglect of
education, from contempt, &c, so that
they furnish II very large proportion of all
the convicts. In the Charlestown prison
about one sixth Of tie convicts are color
ed; in wethersfeId prison more than one
fifth; in that on Bla kwell's Island about
one third, and in thP female department
of the Baltimore phson more than so out
OF 81 females, in MtrCh last were colored.
Finally, intemperahce is set down as the
immediate exciting cause of about three
fourths of the crimes in the land"
These are some of the moral beauties,
some of the benign and salutary effects,
flowing from the emancipating policy oil
the ultra philanhropIsts. Throughout
the whole Of the ssuthern states, not one
fourth of the amount Of crimes, depravi-
ty, and restitution, Fan be found among
their entire slave population.

BAPTIsTs IN THE UNITED STATEs.-lt
appears from Aliens Annual Register,
that the whole number Of Baptist Com
muncants in the United States is, 409,-
.658; Churches 55l3; ordained ministers
I3l55; Associations 3 /. In the year 1882
there were about $4,000 baptisms by the

JAMAICA.-Accounts had reached Ja-
maica of the plan entertained by the Bri-
fish Government for the emancipation OF
the slaves in their colonies, and had been
received, as was to be expected, with I'M
disguised indignation. 1t is impossible to
convey an idea of the unmeasured abuse
heaped upon the originator of the plan,
unless we copied the article entire. Some
approximations are, we presume, enter
tanned of a rising among the negroes, as
on the Goth June the Governor General,
Earl Mulgrave, issued proclamation en-
joining on them patience and confidence
in the gracious intentions of the sover-
elgn in their behalf and assuring them
that it shall be his especial care to com
munlcate to them fully all the conditions
of the contemplated change, as soon as
they shall become law.-Cou. & Eng.

The Baltimore Gazette has this severe
hit upon Mr.. Fidler, whose travels in the
United States have just been published in
this country:
"Mr. Elders rib-Mrs. Fidler-seems
to have been a complete thorn in his side.
Much of his work is taken up in keeping
tally Of her groans and grumblings.
From his own account of her, she seems
to have had remarkable talent of drink
ing ale--took whiskey i'll her tea instead
OF t1ilk-and, upon the whole, seems to
have been Il perfect Elders wife By
the way, Mr.. Fidler's notes sound much
more like those of the solemn iyre than
the merry strains Of violin"

the tariff will not be reduced till we

To the Patrons Of the Palladium.-Yor
are already apprised Of the change tina,
has taken place in the proprietorship Of
this office. Custom would have US give a
long list Of promises, and pufs, but we
are untried in speech and therefore shall
be brief.
In thus making our debut before the
public, we feel a conscious inability to
render any great or essential service, We,
hope with your favor to present weekly
sheet, not altogether void Of instruction
and amusement
We are not unmindful of the great d.
versitv of tastes and opinions liz all COM
munities, and particularly in such a one
as ours-made up of persons from all sec
tons of the Union. Knowing, therefore,
the utter impracticability Of sui,ing all
for, that which might please or amuse one,
might, perhaps offend or disgust another
we have prescribed to ourselves a Fun
DAMENTAL RULE, BY which we will abide.
VIZ: Not to state az fact, that which to
us 10 doubtful, nor willfully to propagate
error-to consider the public veal as par
TO our own immediate advan-
tage-and in matters Of controverted O.
pinion, to pursue the lights Of our own un-
biased judgment.
There will be no material change in
the politics Of the Palladium,-but we
shall endeavor to render ''equal and exact
Justice to all men, Of whatever persua-
sion, religious or political"
We shall endeavor to give a faithful
synopsis Of the Congressional and State
Legislative news. A regular chain Of
Foreign lntelligence-Notices of Internal
improvements and Domestic manufac-
lures. Likewise, a general Miscellany
and Poetry, Historical Sketches and a.
nerican Biograpy
Finally, We shall use our best exertions,
o make the Palladium a vehicle of gen
'ral intelligence, worthy Of your patron
'ge,-how far we shall succeed, time and
'ur subscription list will determine.
