A certain Emperor, who was fool enough to

of watches and essayed to make them all run
exactly alike He bothered his head for long
time at this useless task; and then, observing
its impracticability, he exclaimed If it be
impossible to make these little machines accord,
how vain and wicked is the attemptto constrain
the minds of men to run alikel" Let each no.

To the Editor of the Alerandria Gazette.

The Engineer of the Alexandria Canal, in
his report relative to the Canal embankment at
Four Mile Rum alludes to fact that has proba-
bly, struck every passer-by, that the new en-
bankment requires something to protect it from
washing; and he recommends the sowing of
grass seed as partial preventive. The interest
which feel in the work induces me to suggest
to the Company, through the medium of your
Gazette, the planting of young trees and wild
shrubbery on the sides of the embankment in
addition to the grass seed | am led to believe
this would have material influence for Seve-
raj reasons;-the grass seed alone might proba-
bly, be washed off and lost but the roots of the
trees and shrubs being more deeply embedded,
would not be: and, by taking root these would
form in a short time firm body all over the
embankment. What is it but this which pre-
vents the sides Of abrupt hills and mountains
from washing? This has been proved to be the
best, if not the only effective, mode Of stopping
the same operation in gullies: and, indeed, we
have an example on the very spot, in the road
embankment where it has been of material ad-
vantage.
The sycamore, the paper mulberry, the will
low, the aspen, and some others of the most pro-
life nature, would best suit such a use.

Interesting Fact.-A few years ago, very
worthy laboring man, in this town, who had
been so unfortunate as to acquire habit OF
drinking spirit, becoming convinced of its ruin
Gus tendency had strength of mind sufficient
to form an effectual resolution of future absti-
nence. At that time he had a wooden box
made, with hole in the lid and labelled RUM"
into which he every day dropped as much mo-
ney as he had been in the habit of spending for
liuuor The box was never opened till very
recently, when on counting the sum, it was
found to no less amount than one hundred and
eighty dollars, with part of which he purcha-
sed good house lot, and the remainder will go
towards putting a neat and comfortable new
house upon it, Such examples are above all

Interesting to the .Sailors--The case Of the
United States VS.. VIM. McLoud, was tried yes
terday at the U. Circuit Court before Judge Da-
WIS., The trial is fully reported in the Morning
Post--trom which it appears that McLoud was
indicted for assaultng and combining William
Cole the master of the brig Curlew, on the
morning of the 18th inst, when in the Gulf
Stream. The circumstances were briefly these
scuff1e occurred between the mate and James
Braent in consequence of language used by
Braent while lacking the ship. The Captain in
terfered--and McLOud then seized the Captain
and forcibly pushed him aside. Braent was sub
sequently tied and confined below The evi-
dence in this case, as usual in cause between
the officers of a ship and sailors, was contra
dictory-whch rendered it difficult to get at the
truth Mr. Dunlap read several legal author-
ties to show that in the eye Of the law the Of
fence charged in the Indictment was committed.
"Every restraint upon mans liberty is, in
the eye of the law. an imprisonment, wherever
may be the place, or whatever may be the man
ner in which the restraint is effected
Judge Davis, in charging the Jury cited au-
thoriteS similar to those quoted by Mr.. Dunlap,
and stated that under the 18th section of the
act of $780, any forcible interference, whether
by threats, intimidation, or physical force that
prevented the captain from the free exercise of
his will and motion, in the discharge of his law
fnl duty on board Of the ship, constituted con-
fnement within the meaning of the statute; but
if the captain was evidently bent on the COM
mission of an unlawful act, such as striking
person with dangerous or deadly weapon,
restraint Of his person, then, would not amount
to the offence charged; and that if they found
that Captain Cole was so conducting, when the
prisoner interfered, they should return YER
dict of not guilty; but the Judge inclined to the
opinion, upon reviewing the testimony that the
captain was not so unlawfully conducting.
After retiring for about two hours, the Jury
came into court, and returned q verdict of gull
ty; but in consequence of the eXtenuatng cir
cumstance OF the case, the Court only sentenc-
ed him to fine of Two Dollars, and one month
Imprisonment, though the law authorized an
Imprisonment IN the State Prison for three gears,
and fine of One Thousand Dollars.

We learn from the Raleigh Register, that Ben
amin F. Seaborn, who was convicted of setting
fire to the store of Mr.. Smith, of that city, in
1882, and executed for the crime, at Fay cite
VILE on Friday last made full confession OF
his guilt under the gallows. Heretofore he had
persisted in declaring his innocence. Accord
ing to his confession, he had no accompllce.-
He had slept in the counting-room, and gained
admission to the store by key which fitted the
lock of the intervening door. He took all the
money he could find, and then perpetrated the
crime for which he suffered, capitally, to con-
ceal the. lesser one of robbery.

of your countrymen for their devotion to our

Heaven to separate us forever from our native

With hand upon his brow;
Before him Learnings gifts
He revell'd mid them now!
The pale night-lamp its Pickering rays O.. ..
Threw round his lonely room,
And something there i'm his gaze
OF brightness and of gloom.
He bent him DER his midnight task
With fush'd and feyer'd cheek,
And anxious eye might well unmask
The WISH the thirst TO seek
Then DER his face Ambition Pride
And Manhood's hopes swelld high
Too soon he wishd his name allied
To immortality!
And ever and anon he'd pause
AT each o'erturning page
Was it that Fame and mans applause
Could thus his thought engage!
Was it for human praise that he
Thus piled his btlsy PEN
To shine in knowledge, and to be
Renownd 'mong gifted men
Ay twas for this that Ger and DER
Deep Science book be connd
Till Learnngs high and "varied love"

And burn'd To grasp the living flame

And mounted like the eagleking

But soon he felt WEAKNESS

And his spirit recl< d of drearncss
Upon its masterstring.
a silence and a shade passd DER

And he felt the spell return
With inspiration iraught.

Why his eye that itful gleam
So mounul, and 50 wild!
Whittier had passd that soul-lke spell
OF talsmanc sway -

That should render desolate

And none had power to give him back
His spirits wonted tone:
And he across the worlds drear track
Walked blighted and alone
