~ The truth and good sense of the following
article are the more striking from tho crcum-
stance of the writer, Mr.. Lew s. Backus, being
an educated deaf and dumb man.
From the Canaioharric Radii
Public Morals.-Let any person exam.
inc the records of our criminal courts, and
pay attention to the villainies published in
our daily prints, and the fact will appear,
that we either produce the greatest number
of reprobates, or have more facilities for
detecting them, than any nation on the globe.
Look at the catalogue of States prisons
throughout the Union ; see the County jails
fully tenanted throughout the country and
then, by way Of antithesis, boast of the i'm.
proved condition of man, and the benefits
which he has derived from the light of
science, or the lasting memorials taken at
the fountain acknowledge. Talk Of Pagan
Rome, and commisserate the benighted
condition of those who lived in days past,
and contrast that with the present.
But did Rome present such list OF vag-
abonds as we can produce ? Look at the ag-
gregate ofcrime see how long Rome was
in existence before there was parricide ;
how many centuries elasped before d.
vorce was granted. Even now, do not
the nations which we deprecate exceed us
in moral honesty. There is a street in
Constantinople through which Christian
cannot pass unless Turk accompanies
him. Why Because the merchants leave
their stores unfastened.
The radical cause for this abandonment,
of character may be traced, among others
to pride, idleness. and dissipation.
The mind of man is calculated for action
and the person who is engaged in some
laboSous pursuit during the day, finds EN-

Ployment for the mind, and is not plotting
out dcpredations upon society.
When tho Roman empire became i'm
mersed in luxury, and the labor of the field
was considered degrading, crime increased
in proportion to the declension of industry.
In this delightful country we begin to see
the disastrous and demoralizing effects
which lack ofindustry has on community,
by the records of the country.

Poetry.
TIE LITTLE SHROUD.

TIE LITTLE SHROUD.
She put on him snow-whlte shrouo,
A chaplet on his head;
And gathered early primIoses
To scatter Ger the dead.
She laid him in his little grave,
CTwas hard to lay him there,)
When spring was putting forth It's MOWERS
And every thing was fair.
She had lost many children-now
The last Of them was gone;.
And day and night she sat and wept
Beside the funeral stone.
One midnight, while her constant tears
Were falling with the dew,
She heard voice, and 10! her child
Stood by her weeping too.
His shroud was damp, his face was white,
He said, II cannot sleep,
Your tears have made my shroud SO wei,
Oh, mother, do not weep"
Oh. love is strong!-the mothers heart
Was filled with tender fears;
Oh, love is strong, and for her child
Her grief restrained its tears.
One eve a light shone round her bed,
And there she saw him stand
Her infant, in his little shroud,
A taper in his hand.
"Dear mother, see, my shroud is dry,
And can sleep once more"
And beautiful the parting smile
The little infant wore.
And down within the silent grave =
He laid his weary head;
And soon the early Yiolets
Grew DER his grassy bed.
The mother went her household ways
Again she knelt in prayer;
And only asked of heaven its aid
Her heavy lot 10 bear.

LONDON, July 14.--Plague in hdia.-By the
following extract from private letter received
from AlIahabad, of the 9TH of April, we regret to
learn that the plague is making fearful ravages
among the native population of India" We
hear that the plague is invading the company S
territories on the western frontier, and at
one place has been carrying off 5000 in a day.
A fatal sickness is also prevailing at Benares
Mrs. says that 500 are there dying daily
This mortality is chiefly confined to the native
populations; but there have also been many sud
den deaths among Europeans. AT native fair
held 10 January, 300 died in one day from chol-
era"
