BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT. However dark
and disconsoate the path Of life may seem
to any man, there is an hour Of deep and
undisturbed repose at hand when the body
may sink into a dreamless slumber. Let
not the imagination be started, if this rest
ing place, instead Of being bed of down,
shall be bed Of gravel, or the rocky bed
Of the tomb. No matter where the poor
remains Of Il man may be, the repose is
sleep and undislurbed, the sorrowful bosom
heavcs no more, the tears are dried up in
their fountains, the aching head is at rest,
and the stormy waves Of earthly tribula-
tons roll unheeded over the place Of graves.
Let armies engage in fearful conflict over
the very bosom of the dead, not one Of the
sleepcrs heeds the spirit-strring triumph,
or responds to the laundering shouts of
victory. How quiet those countless num-
bers sleep in the arms Of their mother
earth! The voice Of Thunder shall not ava
ken them-the loud cry Of the elements,
the winds, the waves, even the giant tread
Of the earthquake, shall not be able 10
cause an inquietude in the chamber Of
death. They shall rest and pass away
the last great battle shall be fought; and
then small voice at first not heard, shall
rise TO tempest, and penetrate the voice
less grave. For trumbet shall sound,
and the dead shall hear His voice.

The EARTHQUAKE AT CAPE HAYTIEN.
Captain Tucker, of the brig Drgo, ar
rived last evening from Cape Hay,ien,
was an eye witness Of the catastrophe that
be(el that devoted city. He states that
when aroused by the shock under his YES
sci he looked towards the town, he saw the
buildings tumbling simultaneously, appa-
rently in one universal crash. The earth
quake took place at five O'Clock, p. NJ;
and every building in the place, with the
exception of parts Of two or three houses,
was destroyed ir the space of two or three
minutes. The tide flowed into the prnci-
pal streets, and receded again immediate
y. Soon after the earthquake, the COM
bustible parts Of the buildings remaining
took fire and were destroyed Capt. Tuck
err states that the entire population of the
place was estimated at from 10. 600 10 H.
600, and from the best information he could
obtain, no, more than 1000 were saved. -.
The principal part Of the merchants were
among the survivors. Mr.. CarvaIho. well
known here, was dug out Of the ruins, and
died Two DAYS afterwards.
The survivors being uncontrolled by any
officers of the government, were con,inu
ally fighting and shooting each o.her for
plumber. The cargo Of the Dirigo was dug
on, from the ruins, after the earthquake
was oyer.-BoSfon Courier.

The following romantic incident taken
from very interesting and appropriate
address delivered in the First Church, Dor
chester, at the funeral Of the Rev. Thad-
deus Mason Harris, ID. d., formerly pas
Tor of that church, by The Rev. Nathaniel
Hall, It's presant pastor:
:" 1t was during his Junier year in Col
lege, that an incident occurred in his his
tory. which, both for the interest it has in
itself, and the influence itexcrted upon his
character long. if ever afterwards, know
| shall be pardoned in relating. His moth
er-having learned by visit to his room,
of his great need of comfortable clothing,
and unable herself to hel him, save by
her hands, had proposed TO him 70 rasein
some way the sum of money, very small
one, which would enable her to purchase
for him what he needed. After many
frutless attempts to do this, he set off 10
meet his mother, as by previous arrange
ment, in Boston, having nothing in his
possession or prospect, but a few coppers
which he had transferred from his trunk
10 his pocket as he left his room; and these
so strong were his benevolent sympa-
thes--he gave poor crippled soldier that
he met on his way, and who, faint and fam
ishing, solicited his aid.
AS he went on, deeply depressed at his
destitute condition and in despair at his
seeming fate, he perceived something adj
herring to the end Of the rude staff he had
cut on his way, ard found it to be gold
ring, into which his staff had stuck itself
as he walked, and having engraved upon
it the words, "God speed thee, frend''-
its pecuniary worth proving sufficient for
his present exigencies and its moral value
incalculable, helping to clolhe him in what
he felt he needed; a cheerful faith and CON
Gdence in God. The whole incident, act
ing upon his sensitive nature, and predis-
posed as he was TO see in every thing
which befel him peculiar and sacred sig
niicance, subdued and overwhelmed HIM,
and appears to have given to his character
stronger religious determination. That
MOTTO to use his own words, has ever
been The support Of my faith when | was
feeble, and the strength Of my heart when
| was faint"

Whether the disease is contagious, that

Whether the disease is contagious, that
Is, whether it may be communicated by
touch or incubation, or whether it is in
tecllous. that is, whether It may be COM
munlcated by being in, or breathing the
air exposed 10 the influence of the disease,
or whether it is both contagious and iniec-
tious, are questions upon which physicians
have entertained, and still entertain oppo-
site opinions. While doctors are disagree
ing' and endeavoring to maintain layor'e
theories, those who have not the light Of
medical science to guide them, will be very
likely upon such facts as these, to come to
the conclusion that the disease may be
communicated by inocculatlon at least. -
And if this opinion should SO far prevail as
to leaepersons to exercise a proper eau
ton while taking care of Nose affected
with the disease, no mischief: can result
from it, even if the opinion should not be
we'll founded. - Worcester Egis.

MORE OF THE ILL-FATED STEAMSHIP
PRESIDENT.

The following description of a wreck
fallen in with at sea by Spanish vessel
from Havana, says the Boston Daily Ad-
ver,iser of Tuesday,) on her passage TO
Europe, appears TO justify The conjecture
that the wreck described was that OF the
Inflated steamship President, and that she
was burnt. Those who were acq tainted
with the structure of thar vessel vii, per-
haps be able to Judge with some confidence
from the description here given whether
the conjecture is well founded. The place
indicated as that in which The wreck was
discovered is abou, twenty-nne degrees
eastwardly from this place.
