REMEMBER THE POOR

1t is a standing law of Providence tina,
the poor shall always be among us, and i, is
easy TO see that society IS or may be the
gamer by their presence. 1t is not well to
consider them tax and IA burden. for while
they consume 1.-THE Of our supcrnuities they
create occasions for the exercise of feelings
and conduct, which are of more value TO us
than our donation can be to them. There
is beautiful philosophy in that axiom of the
Saviour, that 1t is more blessed to give than
to receive, and whoever subjects it to expe-
rimenl finds his sweetest pleasures springing
from sympalhzing communion with the mi
serabie; and that while the poor man needs
gentle mcrcies to feed and warm him, not
less do we need his necessities to keep our
hearts unirozen and Joyful.

EFFECTS OF INCREASED DUTIES,

We quote an article from the New York
Evening Post, depicting in strong colors, the
evils which must fall npon the silk manu-
iac,urers in Lyons, from the impost of our
government of2O per cent upon imported
silks. There is, it is to be presumed, no
exaggerated cooring in this picture. The
operatives in the silk manufactures both in
France and England, and SO also Of China
are probably the worst fed of any class OF
laborers OH the continent. We NAV, we
must, if we are men, feel for them. Every
benevolent mind deeply compasslonates their
condition but the care of them and their
relief belong TO their own government and
not to us. The situation of few of the man
utaciurers OF any description, on any part
OF the European continen, is better. They
are all worked excessively and fare most
hardly. The wretchedness in England pre-
vallng among many classes of manufacture
ers is extreme, and almost past relief. But
how to remedy this, or even how to
alleviate it, is difficult to say. This is a
problem for thc eolution Of which tho heart

SLEEP AND DEATH.

Hand in hand they wandered over the
earth, tho angel of Sleep and his brother
angel Death. TWAS evening. A hill, over
looking the dwellings of men clad in luxuriant
green, invited them to rest. The last sound
ofthe vesper bell had died away on the
breeze; sad and solemn silence reigned
in the scene before them. In stiffness and
qnie,ude, the emblem of their calling. re-
posed the benevolent spirits; and darker
grew the shades of night.
Then rose the angel of Sleep from his
messy couch, and scattered, with gentle
hand, the invisible grains of slumber which
cool zephyrs waited to tho quiet habltations
Of the wearied tillers of the soil. Now sunk
into sweet repose the dwcllers Of those rural
cottages, from the aged man, whose head
was whtcncd by the frost of many winters,
to the smiling babe, blossoms. The sick
forgot his pain, the mourner his grief, pow
cr,y her cares. All eyes were closed.
His benevolent task fulfilled, the angel Of
Sleep joined his lonely brother. With a
smile of innocence beaming on his counte-
nance, he exclaimed, "When the morning
dawns, and the flowers shed their fragrance
on tho plains, and tho birds MARBLE fortl,
their sweet melodies toward heaven, then
will men praise me as their friend and be-
ncfacto'. Oh, what bliss to do good in Sc
crct and unseen! How happy are we, the
Invisible fuGlIers of a Heavenly will How
blessed is our quiet calling!
SO spake the gentle angel Of Sleep; but
his words Of JOY found no response in the
troubled bosom Of his companion. Deep wo
marked the features Of the angel of Death
and tears, such as mortas shed not, glisten-
ed in his dark, calm eye. "Alas," uttered
he, "why not also to me the sweet tribute
Of graitudel Earth calls me the spoiler, and
the son Of man dcnounces me as his foc."
| "Oh, my brothcr," replied the angel OF
sleep, "When the sun rises that shall quick
en- to day that sets not, TO an eternal spring,
will not the righteous, in their awakening
know thee as friend and bcncfactorl Are
we not brothers, and the obcdient doers OF
our Heavenly Fathers will 2"
The countenancc Of the angel Death
frightened at these words: and stronger
grew the tic that bound these brother spirits.

Of the christian philanthropist aches with

of the christian philanthropst aches with
agony.
If all men were christians, and lived only
and fully upon christian principles, if justice
and the love of our neiglIbor prevailed every
where, there would be little of this suffering.
There would be no occasion for laws other
than what would be dictated by mans own
heart and conscience. All penal cnactments
would be needless, and government would
be felt by us only as the great law and power
of gravitaton are felt by us. But it is not
so; and while the reigning spirit eff chris
tianity is universal love and universal equity,
that of the world is universal selishness and
universal rapaci,y.
In such condition of things, il seems idle
to talk about free trade. There is not, nor
is there likely to be, civilized nation upon
the earth where It exists and for us to act
upon system of entire freedom of trade,
would be only to crush our own improve
ment, and to expose ourselves as helpless
victims to the rapacity Of other nations. If
other nations were willing TO receive the
products of our industry without impost, we
might then consent to admit theirs upon the
same terms: but while they prohibit all
in the same way. TO protect and encourage
ours. The only true independence ofan in
didual or nation, lies in its power to supply
its own wants and this it should constantly
seek TO do.
We cannot, in this case, enter upon the
great and vexed subject of protection. 1t
would be charming picture, five could sec
all the nations Of the world engaged in afrec
and unrestricted exchange and interchange of
their various products. But at present, such
thing can exist only in the benevolent inn
aoination. In the present condition of soci-
ETY., nations are compelled 10 act upon the
defensive, or suffer the bread TO be taken
from the mouths of their own children. The
governments under which these unfortunate
people live and suffer, arc responsible for a
great portion of the misery to which they
are reduced and for that system of bloody
tyranny by which they compel them TO stihe
their complaints, and to die in the agones of
starvation and famine.
Our movement in this matter may produce
extreme distress, but it is the duty of their
own governments TO alleviate their sufferings
or by timely provision prevent them. There
is not single objection to be urged against
the encouragement of our own manufactures
in this cusc, but what would apply with equal
force to the invention of any kind Of art or
machinery by which labor may be abridged
and transferred, and consequently vast num-
bcrs be thrown out of employment. In the
end. however, all such Improvements rebound
as much to the benefit of the laboring as of
other classes. 1t would not he difficult to
show that the consequences of the free in

gewgaws, and wines into our country, if II
could be examined in all its various influences
has been productive of more suffering or evil
in our country, than the imposition of duties
upon such articles canproducc in Lyons or
other manufacturing towns in France or Eng
land.

MIR. X ENDALL'S LETTER.

SO deep an interest is felt by all classes of

publish Mr.. kcndall's letter entire, in the as.
surancc that it will be read with pleasure and

conveys ii possesses an intrinsic interest. We
had heard from good authority that the pris-
oners were treated with severity, while Ken

The n. Y. American accounts for this on the
supposition that Kendal's letter was writ

of the Mexicans, and was therefore guarded

SONG TO THE wHlppooRwILL
ny PARK BESJAaIIS.

Complaining bird, that sing'st at eve
When all around is calm and still
Why wilt thou make my spirit rreve,
And bid me "Whip poor viii"
What has poor Willy done, that no
Should be the burden Of thy song
IA, sitting on yon old oak tree,
Thou chauntest all night long
"Whip poor Will ?"
Whipped him once, but ali! in vain;
From copso and wood, from gen and hill,
That oft-rcpcated solemn strain
Still bids me "Whip poor Will"
And though the little fellow dreamed
For being whipped he knew not why
Till on yon heavens the starlight cleaned,
There came that mOurnful cry
"Whip poor Will!'
On other themes, oh lonesome bird
Employ thy deep, melodlous hill
And let me hear some other word,
And not "Will"--"Whip poor Will"
For William is pleasant bow,
A mery-hearicd lovely one
His fathers pride, his mothers Joy;
Why must whip my son =
whip poor Will"
What never done! wilt always sing7
Can no persuasion keep thee still !
Hast thy sna'l harp no other string,
Best e that Whip poor VIII"
IT'S even so-'tls nine own thought,
And not thy note, does Willy wrong:
Then sing away--with sweetness frnnoht-.
Sing tina, complaining, constan song
