THE THRIVING FAMILY-A soSa.

BY MRS. sIGoURNEY. Our father lives in Washington, A nd has world of cares, But gives his children each farm, Enough for them aud theirs. fnii thirty well grown soas has he, \ numerous race, inderd Married and settled ali. dye see. With boys and girls to feed So if we wisely tiil our laads. Mere sure to earn living. And have a penny, loo. to spars For spending or for giving. X thriving family arc we,
 No iordlng need deride Us; For we know how to use our hands, And in our wits we pride Us.
 Hail. brothers, hail.
 Lei nought ou earth divide US. Some of as dare the sharp northeast. Some clover fields are moving; And others tend the cotton plants Iha, keep the looms s-going; Some build and steer the white wingd ships, And few in speed can mate them, While others rear the corn and wheat, Or grind the corn 10 freight them. And if our neghbors OCT the sea Have e'er an empty lardsr, To sead a loaf their babes to cheer Wen work little harder. No old nobility have we,
 No tyrnnt king to ride us, Our sages in the capitol
 Enact the laws that guide us.
 Hail, brothers, hail! Let noueht on earth divide us. Some faults we have, we cant deny. \ foiiie here and there; But other households have the same, And so we wont ersr4i-,, Twill do no good to fune aud frown, md nsh hard names. yOn see, md what a shame 'twould be to part So fine a family! lis hut a waste of lime to fret, Since nature made us one. For every quarrel cuts a thread That hrIillrfal love has sprung. Then draw he cords of union fast Whatever may betide us, 4 nd closer cling through every blast, For many q storm has tr,ed us.
 Hail, brothers, hail! Q Let nought on earth divide us.

The BLIND HoRsE or SEA SraEEr.--An affect
ing sight may be Witnessed daily in Sea street,
nearly opposite Benson's coal yard, in this city
A kind hearted Irish teamster conducts his poor
blind horse, when the abors of the day are over TO
the stable. Without rein, guided simply by the
varying intonaiions of the drivers voice, the huge
giant-framed animal turns corners, curves gently
towards the sidewalk, crosses the threshold, and
finally reaches the appropriate stall, going zigzag
round post in one place, by the heels of other
horses in another, and without accident or blunder
How delicate must be the ear Of that dependent
creature, and what an accurate and discriminating
knowledge he has acquired of the true meaning Of
the words Of his master. A variation of Tone in
regard to force or intensity, instantly quickens his
motions, or modera.es his pace, as circumstances
may require. There is no hesitation, no delay,
because he has ascertained by experience that the
Irishman is his real friend, who never deceves
him. Hence, when he is urged to do one thing or
another, it is instantly DONE and thus he avoids
being injured or making false step. The Rev.
Mr.. Somebody, of New York, few years since
attempted to demonstrate, upon psychological prin-
cipes, that horses have souls but was rdculed Of
course, for his pains What essential attributes of
soul are not discovered in this blind horse? He
has memory, reflection, clear and distinct idea of
language-and, lastly, exhibits still higher attri-
butes, confidence and love. While viewing the
case, the thought Involuntary urged itself upon
us-here is puzzle for the philosophers Boston

Several new buildings have been commenced
since my last on the burnt district but general
thing, very small portion oft will be rebuilt dur
ing the present season. Laborers are afraid TO
come to the city, and those that are here work no
more, nor longer than is necessary, just to earn
sufficient to keep soul and body together. Our
courts of justice have all adjourned over until fall
and the only legal functonary that is compelled to
keep acting is the public administrator, who has
both his hands and heart full
The arrivals from the upper rivers very sell
dom, as persons are afraid to ship their produce
here to consgnee, or to come with it themselves.
No other city in the West could stand up under
such protracted calamity but ST. Louis, and unless
we relieved before long from the weight of the
burden that has been expressing us for upwards Of
sixty days, Heaven alone knows whether we shall
not have to yield. SPARTACUS.
