DISTRESS IN PARIs.-A late Paris lettel

in the N. Y. Courier says:
You can hardly be aware Of the deep
and general distress which has fallen on this
people. Most persons of fortune had in
vested great portions of their wealth in the
rentes, or national securities, and railways
guaranteed by government; many Of them
were owners OF real estate; while every
body, If the proud title of proprietaire were
not to be aspired to, was 100 happy to see
his or her name inscribed on the grand here,
or enroIle.. among the universal carriers
who had superseded mail coaches and dill
gences. But at present railways pay moth
ing. tenants Of houses are equally uprofita-
bic 70 their landlords, aud, in less than six
months, it is universally believed and said
that public securities will be in no better
plight. Men who had invested large capt.
tails in extensive manufactures have been
OBLIGED to discharge most of their work
men, and they, as well as the smaller deal
ers, whenever you enter their halls of sale,
almost beg you to purchase their goods at
your own price,"

FEMALE FAITH.

She loved you when the sunny ligh.
or bliss was on your brow;
That bliss has sunk in sorrows night,
And yet she loves you.
She loved you when your joyous tone
Taught every heart TO THRILL
The sweetness Of that tongue is gone.
And yet-she loves you still.
She loved you when you proudly slept,
The gayest OF the gay;
The pride the blight Of time has swept,
Unlike her love, away.
She loved you when your home and hear
or fortunes smile could boast;
She saw that smile decay-depart--
And then she loved most.
Oh, such generous faith that grows
In woman's gentle breast:
IT'S like that star tina, stays and glows
Alone in nights dark vest;
That stays because each other ray
Has left the lonely shore,
And that the wanderer on his way
Then wants HER ligh! the more.

The following passage from a Wing Cir
cular IN Pennsylvania, has aroused the
Unions feelings:
"Ccmmtttee on Singing.--The duties of
the singing committee are apparent. Its
members should be selected from those who
have talent for vocal music; and their DUTY
should be TO prepare themselves with ap.
propriate political songs, and lead off in
singing them at each meeting of the club.
They will contribute much TO the spirit of
the meeting"
We warn Tie .South,' exclaims the Union
against this musical movement" Very good;
such vigilance is admirable. Let the south

verse, and set to the tune of Lucy Neal"

warned--otherwise we may soon hear that
Alabama has yielded TO a chorus, and that
even South Carolina has gone for mere
song. The official paper itself may be cap.
tivated--for it is said that Emusic hath
charms TO soo,he the sauoge breast"
The canvass, we may be sure, is now be-
ginning in earnest, since the Union" shows
signs of trepidation and is unwilling to face
the music. Cass is not good name for a
rhyme, no matter how it is spelled. But
Rough and Ready runs well. In this par
ticuar, it must be confessed, we have the
advantage of the Castles, and the official
paper has some reason to complain of the
adverse odds. The canvass on our side will
begin with a grand march and end with a
glee.-Ralt. Amer.

Social KINDNEss.-How sweet is social
atfectionl When the world is dark with
out. we have light within. When cares
disturb the breast-when sorrow broods
around the heart--what joy gathers in the
circle of love- We forget the world with
all its animosities, while blessed with social
kindness. That man cannot be unhappy
who has hearts that vibrate in sympathy
with his own-who is cheered by the
smiles of affection and the voice of tender
ness. Let the world be dark and cold
LET the hate and animos,y of bad men gath
or about in place Of business-but when he
enters the ark of love-his own cherished
circle-he forge,s all these, and the cloud
nosses from his brow and the Sorrow from
his heart. The warm sympathy of his wife
and chridren dispel every shadow and he
feels thrill Of joy in his bosom that words
are not adequate to express. He who is
stranger to the joys Of social kindness, has
not begun to live.

A FLASH IN THE PAN. Some of the offic-
ials OF the British government in searching for
arms and sympathizers, seized 600 barrels of
powder on the Irish coast. 1t turns out the pow
der was perfectly loyal shipment, it being con-
signed to one OF the most respectable firms in
Dublin, for blasting purposes and not revolution
The manufacturers who shipped it from Firth
have proceeded against the custom house author
tiles for the detention OF the vessel, and orders
Tor the release Of the vessel have been received
at Plymouth. The powder was at first supposed
to come from the United States.
