We clip the following paragraph
from a ermon by 'Dow, jr.' publish
ed in the New York Mercury. The
following lines were his text on the
occasion.
If We ure honest, honorable men,
Go ye nnd-pay the Printer
My dear friends--the debt that
sits heaviest on the conscience of a
mortal-provided he has one-is the
debt due the printer. 1t presses hard
err on ones conscience than the night.
mare; gals the soul; frets and chafes
every ennobling sentiment; sgueezes
all the juice of fraternal sympathy
from the heart, and leaves it dryer
than the surface of Il roast potatoe.
A mar who wrongs a printer out of
a single cent, can never expect to
enjoy comfort in this world, and may
well have doubts of finding happiness
in anv other. He'll be sure to go
down to the grave ERE Time shall
have bedecked his brow with the silve-
nv blossoms of age; and the green
leaves OF hope will fall! before the
first bud of enjoyment has expanded.
Ii is true the mushrooms of peace
may spring up during a short night Of
forgeliulness. but they will all wither
beneath the scorching rays of re-
morse. How can you, my friends,
ever have the wickedness and cruel
ty to cheat the printer, if you corsld-
er how much he has done. and is eve
ry day doing for you' He has pour
ed into the treasures Of your minds
some Of the most valuable gifts any
thing short Of God can bestow-aye,
riches with which you would not part
for the possession of the world
With the keys of magic, as it were,
he has opened the iron-cased doors of
the human understanding; dispelled
the darkness of ignorance, and light
ed the lamps of knowledge and wis
dom. That mighty engine. the press,
is surrounded by a halo OF glory, and
its eflulgence extends all ove the
broad empire of the mind, iIlumlna-
ting the darkest avenues Of the heart;
and yet the printer, the man who
tolls at the lever of this soul-enlighten-
ing instrument is often robbed Of his
hard earned bread by those whom
he has delivered from mental bondage,
and placed in a paradise to lay off and
grow fat upon the fruits Of his labors!
Oh, you ungrateful sinners! if you
have hearts moistened with the dews
Of mercy, instead of gizzards filled
with gravel, take heed what | say I'M
to you. II there be one among you

And he who bore ii to the fray

Upon its Furnished blade

That it had graced no towards hold,
And that the hand which grasP'd it play'd

As It in death would deal q blow.
While the red current, faint and slow,
Oozed coldly out upon The sand.
From many 4 wound.

Burn'd in that soldiers breast,
When leaving all he loved. he swore
By Heaven that hears, that never moro
Would he return, till he had wrought
His country's rest.

And ask about the plain,
IF victory crown the right, my voice
With thine may yet sgain rejoice;
Bot seek for me, the field unwon,
Among the slain"
Such was the short adieu
To home and all its bliss,
The rigid Polish martyr gave,
When furnished with his lance and glave,
He stopped, & from his loves lips drew
Their last, last kiss.
The strength Of Warsaw fell,
The foe break down its gate,
And on the alter she had built
The blOod0 Liberty was split

That wife her fate.
Unsex'd, without a tear,
His poor, cold corse TO lave,
She wandered forth at deep of night.
With nono to witness the sad rite,
And gave her soldier and his spear

them. So great are the difficulties o!
tracing out the hidden causes of the
evils to which this frame of ours is a
subject,--that the most candid of the
profession have ever allowed and la
mented how unavoidably they are in
the dark. SO that the best medicines,
administered with the wisest heads,
shall often do the mischief they are
intended to prevent. These are mis-
fortunes. to which we are subject in
this state of darkness;-but when
men without skill,-without educa-
tion,-without knowledge, either of
the distemper, or even of what they
seIl.-make merchandise of the mise
rable-and, from a dishonest princi.
pie, rifle with the pains Of the unfor-
tunate, too often with their lives
and from the mere motive of a dis
honest gain-every such instance of
a person bereft of life by the hand Of
ignorance, can be considered in no
other light than a branch of the same
root. ii is murder in the true sense;
which, though not cognizable by the
law,-by the laws of right, to every
mans ow n mind and conscience, must
appear equally black and detes,able."

a retailer of medical gossip, flourish

was formerly mate Of a ship. This

in droves, and all the lodgings in the
town were occupied. He was a
blessing to the Of boats and
packets, and the public houses there.
This wonderful man pretended to
the sick, the lame, the halt, and
the blind. The applications we're so
many, that he formed a committee,
by whom the patients were to be in
troduced twelve per diem. 1t must
be confessed that his mode Of healing
the lame and the palsied was ingeni-
He broke their clutches and
them up in his hall Of audience,
trophies of his skill! Some Of the
patients were cured by being fright
ened. At length the bubble burst;
were oblighed to buy new
c%rutches; others dying, no necessity
for such purchase; and the rest had
their excursion for nothing.-Physic

A BATHING ScENE.-Mr. Kendall.
in his Santa Fee Sketches, SAYS
AT Ojo Caliente there is a noted
warm well in the edge Of the town.
and several Of our party visited it for
the purpose of bathing. The water
boils up in great quantities, and forms
a large and deep basin from the very
fountain head. We Immediately d.
vested ourselves Of our clothing and
dashed into the refreshing element
diving and swimming abodt in water
Just warm enough to be comfortable.
Before we had left the large natural
bathing.tub, u party was increased
by the arrival Of several Mexican
girls. who, not in the least daunted by
our presence, immediately joined in
our aquatic sports. With merry and
Joyous laughter they commenced
splashing the water about them; now
diving to the bottom, and then rising
to the surface. shaking the water from
their long hair, and padding about
like Newfoundland dogs.
The customs of the country sane

such as | have just mentioned, and
many other which would be deemed
highly indicate in other lands. and,
however much the foreigner may at
first he tempted TO doubt their strict
correctness. he soon learns that no
conventional rules oppose n barrier
to such acts. True modesty on
sists in the thought which governs
every action; and viewed in this light,
there was certainly no immodesty in
the giils of Ojo Caliente in%dulging in
a bath, even if they did appear right
before folks as the philosopher Sam
Slick would say"

As we were passing by tho Court

ever, the wars were over, and he
had nought 10 do but lounge as best
he could through lie upon half pay.
He was n day taking his ease at his
tavern, when he observed a stranger,
evidently a foreigner, gazing intently
at him. The Lieutenant appeared
not to notice the intrusion, but shift.
ed his position. A short time and
the stranger shifted too, and still with
unblenched gaze he started. This was
too much for Montgomery, who rose
& approached the s~crutinizing intrder.

Is JESSE HoYr A DEFAUITER This Important
question is now before the U. S. Circuit Court, and
will probably occupy that bench for fortnight or
three weeks
The allegation against Mr.. Hoyt is, that he is de-
faulter for the amount Of $2OO,OoO In the course
of the trial twenty carloads of books have to be
examined, and about 10000, 900 OF entries or
items to be overhauled. During his Collector
ship SSO,OOO,OOO of revenue passed through his
hands.
These immense amounts and figures can be only
parallelled in magnitude, by the length of the re-
cent Comets tail, as calculated by the astronomers,
although they are hardly so clear end bright
Whether Jesse Hoyt is defauter to the Govern
ment the Government defaulter to Jesse for the
minute sum OF 5000, 600, or one-fourth per cent on
the whole amount, would seem to be question of
as much doubt and incertitude, as the exact orbit,
perhelion, aphelion, and nucleus of the recent bril-.
liant uminary that spread half across the heavens
to the admiration of the astronomers and the gene
raj dread of the Millerites. Heaven have mercy
on us.
In this wonderful case, only five Counsel are en-
gagged on one side and two on the other. They
ought to have a score on each side. We shall
note its curious progress each day.
