Men toll throughout long and unhappy life, for the

slipping brandy and water-and daughters who are able
to speak few words of French and Italian and run
their fingers the keys ofa piano forte. Worn out

Important from EFaYti.

The Hume, Captain Conklm, arrived yester-
day from St. Domingo BY her we have received
the annexed intelligence
1t appears that the rebel General had posses
sion of Maragona, st. Domingo, Aux Cages, Jer-
emie, Areceibo, Lausanne, and Petrereyo. He
had massacred many fthe whites and mulattoes
at the first named place.
The General was waiting at Maragona for re-
Inducements from the interior, when, as soon as
received he would attack Port au Prince.
The whole place was in horrible condition
the produce laying destroyed in the fields, and
such of the inhabitants as could were coming a.
way.-There appeared to be several distinct par
ties.
The night Capt. c, left, his consignee came
off and wished the captain to smuggle his family
off and take them to Port au Prince, as he was
fearful all the whites and mulattoos in Maragona
would be murdered the following day. But he
was unable to bring off his family On the 5th
of May, Captain G. carried between 3 and 400
women and children from the Maragona 10 Port
au Prince, many ofthem swimming off to his ves-
sci.
The President had not arrived at Port au
Prince, but was still among the Spaniards trying
to settle their difficulties and would return TO
Port all Prince as soon as possible.

Seven Persons DrOXynetl.

The Baltimore Sun of yesterday says We
were informed yesterday of most disastrous loss
of life in the Chesapeake Bay. Our informant
says, that newly built vessel on her way to this
city, from some part Of the Eastern Shore of this
State, while off the mouth Of the Petuxent, on
Thursday last, was capszed during heavy
squall of wind, and that seven persons were
drowned--consisting of FIVE females and two
males. The females were below, in the cabin,
whom the boat was blown Overcome of them
was the wife of the Captain, and two of them his
daughters. The Captain and one of the hands
were saved. We were unable to learn the
names of any of the persons, or the particular
place from whence the vessel hailed We have
reason to believe, however, that the melancholy
information given is true.

REFLECTIONS.

July 28 l843--Night before last was at the house
Of ieastng where all JOY and sunshine, beauty and
pleasure. Mirth was seen in every counenance-hap-
piness reigned in every heart The world with its clouds
and its sorrows for the moment forgottenLethe's
waters buried in forgetuness the and anges and
chickering's of life. Woman-lovely woman, was there
and the radiant smiles Other countenance beamed even
more heavenly and angelic than usual-her bright and
beautiful eyes sparkled with than their wonted
Brightness as she listened to the honied words of hin
who vowed for her eternal and unchanging love. But
turned away from the of mirth all to
''vanity and vexation of spirit"
Last night was at the house of mourning-but, ah
how changed the scene! The moistened eye, the sen
tear, the sorrowful countenace the sad and dropping
heart and the wailngs of the afflicted, alone seer
and heard. How sudden and unexpected cometh the
destroying angel When Hope springs highest in the
human heart its then the curtain drops and oreverco
seth from eyes the gores of this beautiful earth
Surely no man can tell what day may bring forth
To-day he may mnglc in the happy throng-to-morow
the worms of the earth may be feeding on his body.
'As for man, his days grass; as flower ofthe
ied he perisheh For the wind passoh it, and
It is gone and the place thereof shall knowit no more'

UNFORTUNATE.

No matter if you have been what is called ma-
fortunate; it is better for you, as you will be led
to acknowledge before you die. If you had al
ways been prosperous in your business, you
would not know how to sympathise with others,
nor feel the luxury of doing good. Those men
whose lives have been unbroken series of sun
shine and prosperity, yet frequently morose and
grabbed, possess but very little of the milk of
kindness In the midst of distress they are un-
moved. They have no hearts of pity-no tear
of affection to shed. One of the greatest bles-
sings in life, look at it as you will, is occasional
ly to meet with mishap-to be unfortunate.
tWho has not known misfortune, never knew
HIMSELF or his own virtue''-
says the poet, and it is as true as holy writ
The best of men-they who are real blessings
to manknd-are among the number who have
met with the most misfortunes in life.

Dow ON NIatrinpOnY.

Dow, Jr., closes a sermon ON kissing with the
following quaint advice:
=" want you my young sinners, 10 kiss and
get married; and then devote your time to moral
lty and money-makng. Then let your homes
be well provided with such comforts and neces-
saries as piety, pickles, pots and kettles, brush
es, brooms, benevolence, bread, charity, cheese
crackers, faith, flour, affection, cider, sincerity
onions, integrity, vinegar, virtue, wine and Wis
dom. Have all these always on hand, and hap
piness will be with you. Don't drink anything
inoxcating-eat moderately, go about bushes:
after breakfast-lounge a little after dinner
chat after tea, and kiss after quaTeling, and al
The JOY, the peace and the bliss the earth can af
ford shall be yours, till the grave close over you
and your spirits are borne TO brighter and hap
pier world. So mote itbe."

The accounts from the Peninsula do not pre-

butcheres which called forth the indignant and
well-merted denunciation of Sir Robert Peel
have been repeated, though on less extensive
scale than that of late. The new law against
the press, issued by Narvaez and Bravo, declares
that no one shall edit paper without paying
1000 reals annual taxes, and without lodging
10000 reals caution money; and that no one
shall be juryman TO try crime of the press
who does not pay 2000 reals direct taxes. Wri-

more frequently marry for love than women, be-

Oh! woman, what bliss, what enchantment we owe
To the spell ofthy heart, to thy solace below,
To thy truth so endearing, thy kindness and care
In the morning ofjoy, in the night ofdespair!
To thy souls chosen love thou unchanged wilt remain
In health and in sickness, in pleasure and pain
And when closed his lips in Deaths mortal eclipse
Even then, still is his the last kiss ofthy lips!
And overhis grave thon wilt mournfully keep
Thy lone vigil of SORROW to pray and to weep:

And that thou mays yet meet him unsued in Heaven

The liquid south stole over them, on bank
That leaned to running water. There's to me
A daintiness about these early flowers
That touches me like poetry. They blow
With such a pie loYeliness, among
The common herds fpasture, and breathe
Cut their lives so unobtrusively, like hearts
Whose beatngs are too gentle for the world,
I love to go in the capricious days

So gracefully to the kisses Of the wind,

following:
The late freshets in Red, Washita, Saline, Ar

damage TO property, along the whole extent, and
greatly disappointed the just expectations Of our
farmers and planters. Along the Arkansas riv-
er, of which we know most, the damage done TO
the crops, and the loss of stocks, &c, must a.
mount TO from eighty to one hundred thousand
dollars. The high water came when the cotton
was just up, and continued until a period too late
successfully to plant. Even if it were not too
late TO plant, the fences are generally swept of,
and, before they could be repaired, the season
would be too far advanced. In addition to this,
seed is very scarce, and it is more than probable
half the planters will not be able tcptocure il.

OH ask me not, kind friends, in this sad hour
Why should weep so bitterly. and seem
No longer the gay creation ofa dream.
The honors of a throne-its regal power
The splendor ofa court--its diadems--
Its wealth, its glory and its pnncely gems,
For me haveno allurements. An hour
They glitter in the morning sun, then perish
As bubbles in the ocean. would not cherish
The golden clouds which hang o'er princes head;
For dearer is an hour of peace in quiet life
Thanto reign perpetually midst care and strife,
And now, alas see the block all CORY red,
The spot where kings, as well as subjects, bled!
