DONATION FOR THE PooR.-Ths sum of
about $3.50 10 money, clothing, &c, was
realized at tho donation on the evening of
Monday The % ulr. for the benef, of the
Poor. The liberai,y displayed on the oc
caslon is exceedingly creditable 10 all
parties concerned. Tha, sympathy which
prov des for the outward wants Of al, which
sends supplies TO The poor mans house, is
a blessed fruit of Christianity; and ii IS
happy when tbs prevails in, and binds to-
gether, a community. But, in the language
of celebrated writer, "we have now learn
ed that the poor are no, 10 be essentially.
permanently aided by The mere relief Of
bodily wants We are learning ,ha, the
greatest efforts Of community should be
directed, no, 10 relieve indgence but to
dry up its source, 10 supply moral wants,
10 spread purer principles and habits, TO re
move The temptations 10 intemperance and
sloth, 10 snatch the child from moral perdi>
ton, and to make the man aaua 10 his own
support, by awakening in him he spiri, and
The powers Of a man. The glory ard hap
piness Of community consists in vigorous
efforts, springing from love, sustained by
faith. for the diffusion, through all classes,
of intelligence, of self-respeci, ofthirs, for
knowledge, and for moral and religious
growth"

Tho Milwaukee Sentinel has adopted
rather novel mode ofwarfare towards The
uvw CONSTITUTION. II mas setzed on tiic
faults and follies of the members Of the
Convention and by dwelling upon and mag
nfying them, hopes no doubt 10 create a
feeling ofprejudice which shall operate det-
rmcn ally to The instrument Of their forming.
We doubt whether the ruse will meet with
any degree ofsuccess. Whatever may have
been the faults or follies of members of The
Convention land il would be strange if
there were moi some in body Of upwards
of 100 men, convened under the circum-
stances they were) the people have the sa>
gacity 10 see, that that has nothing whats
ever 10 do with the issue. The Convention
is no more-and the individuals who com.
posed it are no more as delegates. What
ever faults, follies, or crimes, they may
have been guilty Of IS matter Of no kind
Of interest TO the people. They framed
us constitution, and whether it were the
work Of angels or fepds, il matters no,,-
1t is as it is, and the question is there
Shall it be accepted or rejected on its own
merits! This is The issue-and there will
be the contest, despite the efforts of the
Sentinel or any Of lis followers TO shift the
battle 10 more vulnerable ground.

ion ,ha, General Kearney and Commodore
Stockton, whose proolamations in taking
possession of California and New Mexico,
have formed the gioundwork Of the late
whig attacks upon the administration, ex-
ceeded the authority with which they bud
been invested. This opinion is confirmed
by the following paragraph which we take
from a late number of the Washington
Union:
1--WE undertake, on our part, to assert
that these proclamations were not prepared
by the Secretary of State, nor at the War
Department. We presume there are mat
.ers in them which do not NEE, the con-
currence or sanction of the administration,
and which are not embraced in the nsiruc
lions they have receivod."

PHoNoGRApHY.-We have been favored
by The publishers with cepy of Boston
Phonotypic paper entitled The Ang'oSlxon,
devoted TO the diffusion of knowledge and
News, through the medium of Pfono'ypi,
or the true system Of spelling words; e

ed BY hyeroglyphics would havc been; hul
slight examination and study resulted IN
our being enabled TO read without muchldll
6culty, and TO appreciate, 10 slight extent
at least, the merits OF the new system -
The photographed irregularities of our pre-
sent system, all acquainted with the En-
glish language, are aware Of, and the i'm
pouance Of reform cannot be questioned.
Whether the proposed system will remedy
all defects, we are unprepared to say. That,
however, its adoption will be long stride
in The way of accompl sbing The desired
doubt. The elementary sounds, which
enter into the composition of our language,
are each represented bya definite chsrac-
ter-this character, in every position
having PRECISELY tho same sound. SO that
when once the Photographic Alphabet is
learned, there can be no mistake as 20 the
characters or letters 10 be used in forming
words, or as 10 tho pronunciation o.
words when properly formed. Acquire a
knowledge Of the Alphabet, and correct spe'
ling and read ng are matters Of course. No
more, or less, Of the definite elementary
sounds are used in The formation Of words
than are necessary for their proper pronun
citation. The Alphabet consists Of twenty
four consonapts; Is vowels; and 3 com
pound vowels-making ID letters in oil.
We should be pleased 10 give examples Of
the sound Of each Of these letters, bet our
space will not permit; and had we the type
our readers should be favored with The cha
acters representing the elementary sounds.
1t is proper to state that the Photographic
system has been taught for year PCS, in
the State Normal School of Massachusetts.
at West Newton, that it has recently been
presented, under the most favorable auspi
ces, at the State Normal School Of New
York. at Albany, and that the School Com
mittee Of that city, VIII CHI is regarded as the
educational he nd-quarters of the State, have
kewise introduced i, into all the granma,
schools under their uperintendencc.

merits are properly understood, will be uni

Luek-Rev. H. w. Reecher says in one OF
his lectures -" may here, as well as any
where, impart the secret of good and bad luck.
There are men, who, suppOsing Providence to
have an implacable spite againstthem bemoan
in the poverty of wretched old age the mis-
fortunes of their lives. Luck forever ran a.
gainst them and for others. One, with good
profession, lost his luck in the river, where he
idled away his time a-6shing, when he should
have been in his Office Another, with good
trade, perpetually burnt up his luck by his hot
temper, which provoked his employers to leave
him. Another, with lucrative business, lost
his luck by amazing diligence at every thing
but his business. Another, who steadily fol-
lowed his trade, as steadily followed his bottle.
Another, who was honest and constant at his
work, erred by perpetual misjudgments he
lacked discretion. Hundreds lose their luck
by endorsing; by sanguine speculations; by
trusting fraudulent men; and by dishonest
gains A man never has good luck who has
bad wife. never knew an early rising,
rd-working, prudent man, careful OF his
earnings, and strictly honest, who complained
of bad luck. A good character, good habits,
and iron industry, are impregnable to the as
saults of all the i'll luck that fools ever dream
ed Of But when see a tatterdemalion, creep
