The EMPEROR OF HAYTI.-The brig Hay
ii. which arrived at New York on Tuesday,
from Port au Prince, brings accounts Of the
sudden overurn Of the republican government
Of Hayti, as il would appear, by the voluntary
act of the people. Soloque has been crowned
Emperor Of Hayti, under the title of Faus,n,
First Emperor of Hay,i. The ceremony Of
corona lion was attended at Port au Prince on
the Goth Of August, amidst demonstrations s
of public rejoicing, the streets being hung with
gailands and flags, wreathed with palms, and
salvos Of cannon being fired from the forts and
The vessels 10 the harbor. The President OF
the Senate put the crown on Soloque's head,
and attached TO his breast a cross Of gold gilt
'ering with precious stones, and decorated the
Empress with massive gold chain. The
reason assigned for this step from Republi-
canism TO Monarchy, is thus given by the
Moniteur Ilaytien, an official paper
" For many weeks previous TO the Gath of
August, the necessity, for the consolidation ~
public order, ofproclaiming the empire, had
been topic of remark and general acquies.
cence. On the Gath Of August, a petition
wa. presented to the Chamber Of Represents
tves, signed numerously from all classes. ev-

Fau.tin Soloque, should be proclaimed E'np'r

THE MARRIAGE ALrAR.-Judgc Carlton, in
recent eloquent address before the Young
Mems Library Association, at Augusta, Ca,
thus sketches the marriage scene:
| have drawn for you many pictures of
death let me sketch for you now brief but
bright scene Of beautiful life 1t is the mar
friaee altar; lovely female, clothed in all the
freshness of youth an surprising bsaut, leans
upon the arm CT him, to whom she has just
plighed her faith, to whom she has given up
herself forever. Look in her eyes. ye gloomy
philosophers and toll me, if you dare, ,hS
there is no lrnpp ness on earth. See the trust
ing, the heroic devotion which compes her
to leave country and parents, for comparative
stranger. She has launched her fia bark
upon wide and stormy sea ; she has handed
over her happiness and doom for this worl
TO anolher's keeping but she has done il
fearlessly, for love whispers 10 her that her
chosen guardian and protector bears manly
and noble heart. Oh, woe TO him ,ha, de-
ceives her! Oh, woe TO him tha, fofge,s his
oatn ana MS manhood:
Her wing shall the eagle flap,
Ger the fa'se-hearted,
His lfe-blood The wolf shall lap,
Ere his life be parted;
Shame and dishonor sit
On his grave ever;
Blessings shall halow it, never.
Never, oh, n,ver.
We have all read the story of the husband
who, in moment Of hasty wrath, said to he,
who but few months before had united her
fate to his-If you are not satisfied with my
conduct, 60 return to your friends and your
happiness. "And will you give me back that
which brought yon!' asked the desparing
wife. " Yes" he replied, A" all your wealth
shall 60 with you-l covet i, not" "Alas"
she replied, 4" thought not Of my wealth.

hope--of my devoted love; can you give these

himself at her feet. "No, cannot restore
these; but | will do moie-I will keep them
unsullied and sustained, will cherish them
through my life and in my death, and never
again will forget that ] have sworn to pro.
tect andcbersh her who gave up to me all that
she held most dear" Did not tell you that
there was poetry in woman's word See
it here the mild gentle reproof of love, winning
back from its harshness and rudeness the
stern and unyiedng temper of an angry man.

length, subtle clerk, who came to see

standing, having bended bow with an
arrow in his hand, as prepared to shoot.
On his forehead was written, am, who

not even yonder carbuncle which shines
SO bright" The Clerk beheld all with
amazement and, entering a chamber,
saw the most beautiful ladies working at

Fle then entered stable full of the most
excellent horses he touched some OF
them, ard they were instantly turned in

with whatever his wishes could DESIRE
He again visited the hall, and now began
to reflect how he should return; but"

the principal table golden cup and a
golden knife, and pu: them in his bosom.
The man who stood with his bow, 'imme-

shattered into a thousand pieces. AT
that moment the hall became dark as

to find his way, he continued in the sub
