Working Girls,

Happy girls-who can but love them? With
checks like the rose bright eyes and elastic step,
how cheerIuily they go to work. Our reputation
for it, such girls will make excellent wives. Bless
ed indeed wilfthose men be who secure such priz-
es, Contrast those who do nothing but sigh all
day and live to follow the fashions who never earn
the bread they eat or the shoes they wear-who are
languid and lazy from one weeks end to another.
Who but simpleton and popinjay would prefer
of the latter if he were looking for companion
Give US the working girls. They are worth their
weight in gold. You never see them mincing
along, jump dozen feet to steer clear of spider
or fy. They have no afectation-no silly airs
about them. When they meet you, they speak
without putting on dozen silly airs or trying to
show off to better advantage, and you feel asf you
were talking to human being and not to painted,
fallen angel
Ifgirls knew how sadly they miss it while they
endeavor to show off their delicate hands and un-
soiled skins, and put on thousand ars-they
would give worlds for the situation of the working
ladies, who are so far above them in intelligence
in honor-in every thing-as the heavens are
above the earth. Be wise then, you who have
made fools of yourselves through life Turn over
a new leaf and begin though late, to live and act
as human beings-as companions to immortal man
and not play-things and dolIs in no other way can
you be happy, and subserve the design Of your ex-
istence

Forgiveness,

What a peaceful, blessed abode might even this
world become were we all heartily to imbibc and
practice the truly Christian sentiments and spirit
SO impressively exhibited in the following extract.
Let each one begin with himself, and then the
world will be reformed:-
There is no virtue in the human heart which so
much adorns the life and character of an individ-
ual, the duty more enjoined upon the Chris
tan than that of forgiveness. For proof of this,
look at the example of Christ who while suffering
on the cross by the hand of his enemies exclaims
in the anguish of his soul-'Father, forgive them,
for they know not what they do"
How noble the sentiment How pure its au-
thor! And shall man "created but a little lower
thansthe angels" fail to initiate the example of
him in whom there was "no guile" Or shall he
so debase himself towards his brother man. So
prone we all to stray from the path of rec
titude and duty, that we find ourselves often cal
led upon to forgive the faults and errors of those
who in an ungarded moment, do US an injury
and unless we do this hatred and revenge will
reign triumphant in every heart and sin hold un-
bounded sway.
Bat on the other hand, if VIC forgive those who
trespass against u.s. shall, by so doing, obey the
injunction of Christ, and contribute TO the enjoy
ment of those who offend u.s. and advance our own
happiness. We should see less of the spirit of re-
talation which now reigns in our midst and like
the destroying pestllence, spreading desolation
wherever it goes. If the poisonous darts of SLAM
der are hurled to crush our hopes and darken our
prospects, should remember that ''to err is hu-
man. and freely forgive the offender: 1t will
duly increase the amount of guilt by cherishing i'll
will towards our fellow men, however great the
offence may be. But oh, 'tis blessed to forgve!- =
To do unto others as we would they should do un-
to u.s. thus filling the hearts of the sons of men
with joy and not with grief Let US then, if we
would render ourselves, ornaments to society, and
beloved by the worthy and virtuous, cherish the
Chrst-like spirit of forgiveness, and cannot fail
TO be happy. Weekly Mess

The Black Emneror

Faustia T. Emperor Of Hayti, "a very coarse
black man, and as ignorant as black. He can
neither read Or write, but he is playing the tyrant
on large scale. A letter from gentlemen resid-
ing in Hayti says;
a send you Haytian journal, by which you
will see that ferocious and sanguinery President
of Hayt, Soulouque, has got himself proclaimed
Emperor. The newspaper tells you he owes this
elevation to the wish of the people, but this false
the initiative has been wholly his own, and any
member of the Legislative body that would dare to
oppose his will would have been drawn out and
shot like dog, many worthy man has been
by order of this monster. His object is to exter-
inmate the colored race, and have the country gov
erned exclusively by the blacks There is no longer
safety to colored men in Hayti All this class who
possessed anything have been either killed or OBJ
liged to flee the country Neither sex nor age is
spared by this demon and his Minister, Solomon,
who have sworn together the exterminatan en-
mqsse of the coorcd race But let us hope that
the Almighty will avert the accomplishment of such
crime and that they may yet find in Hayti a
mother Brutus to deliver his country from this
monster, who surpasses in cruelty anything we
have read ofIiberius or Nero"

that 1t was "farce,' and Misunderstanding no

we appreheDd to make it the subject of serious at
tack upon President Taylor that he refused to open
our dock-yards and navy yards to the free use Of
the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentia
ry of the German empire.
What then is the amount of the fierce outcry that
the foreign organ has made against the American
people, because they have fit to elevate to the
first Office in their gift man with avery limited
education"-who has chad no opportunity to ac-
quaint himself with books, much less to acquire a
knowledge of law and ethics''-"who never filed
a civil othce"-who was never Ga Justice of the
peace, State representative, representative in
Congress or judge, and whom the foreign Or
gan knew IN advance would be therefore utterly
unqualified todischarge the duties of President?-
The American people thought differently from the
foreign organ, when they made General TAYLOR
their Chief Magistrate. They thought there was
nothing in the duties of that Office which demand
ed the training in civil Bffairs which that organ
deems indispensable, but that it was enough to se.
!ect nan ot talents, virtue, integrity ana patriot
ism. In reviewing the present condition of the
country, as far it has been affected by the acts
of his Administration, in witnessing the fortunate
solution of all the questions which have agitated
and interested the country during the last six
months. in spite of the most bitter and unprincipled
opposition that ever assailed government, we be-
lieve the American people are ready to reafHrm
the propriety of their original selection. There is
wisdom which no books can impart-the wisdom
of honest intentions and upright purposes There
is a confidence which no ISLANDERS or vituperation
can shake-that of an intelligent people in man
whom they believe to possess that wisdom But,
when that wisdom is crowned and that confidence
is established by uniform success in diplomacy no
less than in arms, how idle is the effort to disturb
by libels and lampoons the faith of the people, or
the character of the man OF the peoplel

THE INDIAN SUMMER.
BY GEORGE OSBORNE.

There is time justere the frost,
Prepares to pave old Winters way,
When Autumn, in a revery lost,
The mellow day time dreams away.
When Summer comes, in musing mind,
To gaze once more on hill and dell,
To mark how many sheaves they bind,
And see if all is ripened well.
With balmy breath she whispers low,
The dying flowers look up and give
Their sweetest insense ere they go,
For her who bade their beauties live.
She bends above the quiet pool
In which the rilI forgets to play,
The frolic eddies quickly school
Their eyes TO glass her transient stay.
She enters meath the woodland shade,
Her zrphyrs lift the lingering leaf,
And bear it gently where are laid
The loved and lost ones Of its grief.
She seeks the shore, old ocean heaves
In gladness huge its mighty breast,
Prisons his wild winds in their caves,
Aud basking in her smiles, is blest.
AT last old Autumn, rousing takes
Again his scepter and his throne,
With boisierous hand the tree he shakes,
Intent in gathering all his own.
Sweet Summer, sighipg flies the plain,
And waiting Winter, guant and grim,
Sees miser Autumn hoard his grain.
And smiles to think it ali Of him!

Music BY Telegraph.

We have seen accounts of almost every thing
being sent by Telegraph, but writer in the Jour-
nal of Commerce, of Wednesday, gives the latest
He says;
We had the pleasure this evening of listening
to the transmission of music by telegraph over
the wires from Boston to New York
We happened to be in the Office, 5 Hanover
street in this city. When there was pause in
business operations, Mr.. W. Porter, young but
skilful operator in the Boston Office asked us what
tune we would have Wereplied Yankee Doodle;'
and, to our surprise, he immediatly complied
with our request. The instrument commenced
drumming the notes of tune, as perfectly and as
distinctly as a skilful drummer could have made
them at the head of regiment Many will be
astonshed to hear that Yankee Doodle can travel
by lightning
We then called for Hail Columbia, when the
notes of that national air were distinctly beat off
We then asked for Aud Lang Syne,' the notes
or sounds of which were also transmitted. q
A friend called for old Dan Tucker when Mr.
Porter also sent that tune, and, if anything, in
more perfect manner than the others. So per-
fectly and distinctly were the sound of these he
transmitted. that good instrumental performers
could have had no difficulty in keeping time with
the instrument at this end of the wires. This is
one of many telegraphic novelties

The keeper of a groggery recently called out to
a temperance man at Blackburn:
"Why, you are looking yellow with your absti-

'Yes,'' said the man putting his hand into bis

looking yellow too.
Something like the foregoing happened to an ac-
