SUFFERING FROM DROUGHT.
Dear Brother Southard IL suppose
that some of your youthful readers have
begun to inquire what has become of the
| missionary who promised them some ac-
count ef Jamaica | wish only TO say
that we have all been so sick Of the eoun-
Jury fever, that | have not had time nor
health to write.
For some months it has been very sick.
| ly. more SO Than for many years before
Most people attribute the prevalence of fe-
Yer 10 the great drou ght--such drought
as has not been known before 10 Ja,nalea
Fhe month of May, The time for the pc
riodicai rains, passed away without SO
much as hardly cloud. We have had
no rain, except occasional showers, and
those small ones, since last October.
We may travel many miles. in some.
districts of this island, called L9qol0ads,
and not see a green leaf or shrub, or
green spire o grass. Every thing bears
the impress of the judgments of Col.
A great number of cattle hayedied, aud
there has been great suffering among the
people. Water has been selling at rs
cents per pail-full, for some time. Be-
sides this, The people in these lowIands
have been obliged to go 80 or 40 miles
forall their provisions, such as yams and
pIantaius.
On the mountains we have occasional
showers, so that some things grow for the
people 10 eat.
My dear young friends, the next time
you see your table spread with good and
wholesome food, take your map and look
at Jamaica, and think of the suffering peo-
pie here. You will find the island small
on the map, but if you come here you
will find ii quite large, much larger than
The State OF Connecticut, and containing
about as many inhabitants. ! IF YOU shoald
come now, you would see suffering such
as you think little about while surrounded
BY The abundance with which God sup
plies your wants. If you would travel
with me few hours, l think you would
go home with thankful hearts.
But some of you may say these are
back folks. So they are; but all black
folks want victuaIs to eat, and they feel
thankful to God too, for what he gives
them. How is it with you2 Do you al
ways, as you sit down TO eat, thank God?
and when you rise up, do you try to spend
the strength of The food which God gives
you, in serving Him? Some black chill
dren do so here Yours truly,
J. WESTON.

Another attempt to assassnate Louis
Philippe was made on the 18th, by per-
son said to be named Darres, native of
/ Marseiiles. He fred al the King as he
was passing along the Quai ofthe 'fuileries
on his way 10 St. Cloud. No one was
1 injured, and the assassin was arrested and
confessed his crime The funds fell at
/ Tortoni's. in consequence of the affair, but
soon rallied. Verify the citizen King
must be as invulnerable as AchiIles-yel
peradventure, he may yet be hit in the
heel
