Messrs. Edi,ors--The following lines
were written about 1925. If you think
that they may serve the cause in which
they are written, give them corner in
your miscellany.
VIRTUE.
Can glowing gems, or diadems,
Insure sweet peace ofmind
Can g|ittering dust, or earthly trust
Thy path conlentment find !
Can rich array rsplendor, say!
Our upward flight advance !
Can learning's power, or beautys hour,
Our hopes of Heaven enhance!
Golconda, no! thy gems may glow,
And half the world illume;
Their brightest light is lost in night,
When cast upon The tomb.
Proud Princes stay! Crowns pass away
Where are your Caesars now
Low in the dust, isnobly thrust,
Ear,h's mightiest monarch's bow.
Gold has its wings; Earlh's lo(iiest things,
But sroveling fools deceive
That spendor's ra, can Heaven essay,
Even idiots scarce believe.
Learning thy light, beauty! thy might
Are transient, fleeing things;
They ne'er can raise one song of praise,
To him, the King Of Kings.
'Tis Virtues part to teach the art,
Bright happiness to gain;
To fill the mind with joys refn'd,
Tba.. constant wiA Areu1ajs -essssa..=.
When, like scroll, the heavens uproll,
And melt with fervent heat,
When rocks are rent and mountains bler
With wales in their retreat
Then Virtues power secures the hour,
From chas,eninS wrath divine,
And safe careers, mid burning spheres,
With seraph choirs to join. p.

FLORIDA AND SLAVERY.
The mostiopportune notice which Mr..
Culhbert to6s Of MIR. Webster's doctrine -
"that Congress has, by the Constitution,
po,ver to abolish the traffic in slaves betausen
the different States Of the Union"-has
brought to light and to public notice the
report andSresolves Of the Massachusetts
Lesislatureiin the mouth Of April. 1888,
on the wboleisubject of slavery, in which
all the Abolition doctrines are openly main
tanned. Omlting other parts Of these re-
solves at present, and intending to present
The report and resolves hereafter, we limit
ourselves at nresent to the part which re-
lales TO Florida, and which becomes emil
tied 10 lhe2sravest consideration of the
South, now1tlat the author of the doctrines
applicable toFiorida has become,b by freak

ercised in thisconntry, iu The new function
of promulgating Presidential edicts, sign.
ed by himse!E and,involying the exercise
Of the Legislative, the Judicial, and the
Executive powers.
One of these resolves is in these words:
"ResOiued, THAT Congress has, by the
Constitution, Spower to abolish slavery in
the Territories. .of The United States
Now, as there is no Territory in The
Union which contains slaves, except Flor
ida, 1t is clear..that this resolve is directed
against that Territory alone; and the in.

Is there land so bright, so fair,
With sons so brave as thine !!
If thou canst point 10 such spot,
That spot shall be forever mine
Thy forests and thy woods so wild,
Thy mountains high and steep,
Thy mighty rivers that onward rush,
So smooth, but yet so deep.

TO have home like his
To end my life beneath thy stars
Is that lifc's dearest wish.
No cline like this can ere he found

And dcspots, who once knew no fear,

And trembling a, their coming fate,
The proud oppressors Grower;

dnertrQordinary Rsvelusion.-The New
York Courier des Esiats Unis, French
Journal published in New York, has the
following:
'"At recent ball during the carnival lii
Paris, a character in mask asserted that
the remains ofNapoleon had been spirited
away from the custody Of The French, and
those of an English corporal substituted in
their place, He offered, indeed, to prove
by indnbitable evidence, that The body of

said was reposing in state atlhe lnyalides."
Office Beggars.-The Baltimore Argus,
of the 3lst ult. says: Daniel Webster

but such was the pressing friendship of
these parasites, that they absolutely stop.

The horses, jumped into the harness, and
absolutely dragged MIN GOWN toWaros Inc
Custom House. The coachman did not
discover the fact until he began TO "whip
up his steeds, when their roars discovered
their asinine character"
The Honey Bee.-This bee, when COL
lecting the pollen Of flowers, which cons,i-
tutes the "bee Bread" never passes from
one kind of flower 10 another, as has been
supposed. If it first light upon honey
suckle, it continues 10 collect from its fow-
er until it has loaded its thighs with as
much as it can carry away. The bee is
governed in this by an instinct that makes
it co-laborer in the ordinary work of re-
produc,iveness. The pollen, or fructifying
dust, is carried from flower to flower of The
same species, and thus the bee aids the
operation Of nature by distributing the pol
len, necessary to the frui,fulness Of plants.

the very thing that is rnurmured here
assail his reputation. and oppose his mea-

Of the great democratic party Of the Union,

Encrn,ous Weahh.-The celebrated
Countess Branitskay, the niece Of Potemp-
kin, died lately on her estate Of Biala-Cer-
kiew, in the s0ib year OF her age. She
had been ravor,e oflhe Empress Cath
arine. on which account the Emperor Al
exander always treated her with the Ut
most attention and respect, addressing her
by the name of matuska, or mother. He
never mel her without kissing her hand, and
he would stand in her presence until she
babe him seated. The Countess has left an
immense fortune, which will partly be ill.,
heri,ed by Count Woronzow, her son-in-
law. A sum of one million sterling in
specie was found in her chateau; she had
sixty millions ofroubles lodged in the bank
of Russia, and on her estates were one
hundred and thirty thousand peasants or
slaves. The countess, in her life time,
made money in every way; she lent it
out in mortgages, and there are very few
landed propreIors in the empire who are
not her debtors. She discounted bills,
sold gold, disposed herself Of the immense
produce of her lands; and it is even said
that having visited France several years
since, and finding human hair SO valuable
in that country, she had, OH her return to
Russia, caused the heads of all her female
slaves to be shaved, and shipped cargo
of checenures 10 France, where they fetch
ed handsome return. Her caisse was
always escorted by thirty or forty Cussacks,
and her reputation for wealth was so gener-
