FOREIGN Extract.

"Amerca does not hate us, but she hates
our superiority and there is no utility in
giving her, even for moment, an eppor-
tunity Of chuckling over our supposed dread
of an encounter--for this is the interpre-
tation that will be put upon the timid, weak,
and ill-judged oration. How the House
had patience to listen to it, is matter for
amazement. However, it has been deliv-
cred, and cannot be recalled-has been
printed, and cannot be suppressed. All
that can be done now is by our actions to
prove that the country by no means sane
tions the timorous twaddle of her Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs. England does
not wish to encroach upon America, but
she will not be encroached upon. She
wants no more than her right, but that she
will have. The conflict-if conflict must
be dreadful, but never for
moment doubtful. America will fight brave
ly, and to the last, but she must yield. We
shall not triumph in the conquest. We
must mourn for the sacrifice of human life,
but life itself cannot be put in competition
with our children's rights, our nations
Times.

The FLUTE.-The flute is one of the
most simple instruments in use. In the
hand of a skilful player it is made to pro-
duce most pleasing melody,-its tones
are peculiarly sweet and subduing There
is kind of harmlessness in its sound hard
ly equalled by any other instrument. The
flute has been longer in use than any other
instrument 1t is, however, probable, that
IN its earlier history, it was blown in the
end. A simple piece of reed may be SO
blown, as to produce the lst, 3rd, 5th, and
10th. Holes being made the sounds may be
altered, so as to give great variety If
now piece is taken, having joint at one
end, and we blow in the hole nearest the
joint, we get more pleasing variety, ac-
cording as we stop or open other holes by
means of the fingers. Six holes for the
fingers being found sufficient for all the
sounds of the scale, no more are used, ex-
cept when necessary to produce interme-
date sounds by process Of different con-
trivances, these are stopped and opened by
keys, which are conveniently managed by
the fingers. Such probably is the correct
history Of the flute. Flutes made from hea-
Wy wood, with the blowing hole slightly
oval, generally sound the best, and are more
easily filled.

BoNAPARTE's OPINION OF CHRsT.-Al-
exander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and my
self, founded empires but on what founda-
ton did we rest the creations Of our ge-
MUS Upon force. Jesus Christ alone
founded his empire upon lore and at this
hour millions of men would die for him.
1t was not day, or a battle that achie-
we'd the triumph of the Christian religion in
the world No, it was long war, con-
test for three centuries, begun by the apos-
ties, then continued by the flood Of Chris
tan generations. In this war, all the
kings and potentates of the earth were on
one side on the other, see no army but
mysterious force, some men scattered here
and there in all parts of the world, and who
have no other rallying point than a common
faith in the mysteries of the cross.

nEALER in Paints, Oils, Glass, &c, c. street,
~ Todd's Buildings, Washington, ID. c., has just
received from the original inventors and sole manu-
facturers, large supply Of the genuine
Doric Lamp.
This Lamp is simple in its construction, easily
trimmed, and will give a light equal to twenty
sperm candles, at cost of one cent an hour.
Its superiority to other lamps consists in the fol-
lowing advantages: there is brass or other metal
that corrodes which in contact with the fluid
the external and internal draughts pass through
the body Of the lamp, producing more perfect
combustion, and keeps the lamp perfectly cool. 1t
can be used with open doors and will be less affect
ed by wind or currents of air, than any other lamp

Like snow that falls where waters glide,
Earth's pleasures melt away;
They rest in times resistless tide,
And cold are, while they stay:
But joys tha; from religion flow,
Like stars that gild the night,
Amid the darkest gloom OF wo,
Shine forth with sweetest light.
Religions ray no clouds obscure,
But o'er the Christians soul
1t sheds a radiance calm and pure,
Though tempests round him roll;
His heart may break with sorrows stroke,
But to its latest thrill,
Like diamonds shining when they're broke,
