THE SOCIALISTS ON THE MIssIssIPPI-It appears
that M. CADET, as the leader and pioneer of an
association of French socialists, has purchased the
Nauvoo temple, arsenal, eleven acres ofland, found
ries, dstilleries CATTLE horses, and other things
for the purpose of founding an association of COM
munists or socialists, on the same ground where
Joe Smith established his new religion
The country about Nauvoo is very beautiful
the Mississippi is noble stream; and we have
no doubt that any industrious community, with
proper practical principles, might succeed there;
but we doubt the success of NJ CADET and the
French socialists. They do not possess within
themselves the elements of prosperity or durability;
and although they may continue together for a
short time, we have no doubt that they will eventu-
ally break up system of society, or a commu-
nifty, organised on philosophical principles, without
a deep pervading religious sentiment, nev.r has as
yet been able to make any Roadway in the world
All of the Fourierl.c communities have gone to
wreck and ruin. The last that fell to pieces was
the at Roxbury, near Boston, where the social
lists of this city used to congregate, make speeches.
puff each other, sing songs, and eat bran bread.
The Momons, the Moravians the Quakers, and
even the Shakers of Lebanon, succeeded, some Of
them with principles in opposition to nature. but
the elements of their success sprung from deep
religious sentiment which prevails among them
sentiment that partakes of fanaticism, and
stands first in the plan of all their views and
principles Dry philosophy, ofthe most enlightened
kind, has never yet succeeded in organising any
system of society or community, with any pros
pect of success. You must mix with philosophy
and intelligence some sentiment of religion and
sound morality, to make it successful.

fayors interruptng them in the discharge of their
official duties then breaking in upon their hours Of
relaxaton-even Decorating the church itself, and
making il subservent to his meanness and rapacity.
For these, and many other reasons, we are not
disposed to let the present Common Council pass
into oblivion, but, in the censure now so uni
versally heaped on its members, who were not
elected to reform abuses, but to do just as their
predecessors had done, let the incoming city fathers
take hint, and in their Legislative capacity make
effort to achieve something for the honor and credit
of the city. Now, that amended charter has
been adopted it is be hoped it will put things to
rights, and for ever stop the further progress of
obbing and corruption.

IKeERsoLL's WAR OF lSl2.-This book is said
10 be full of the same faults Of style as the other
work of the same author. The following from his
description of the battle Of North Point quoted as
a specimen:
Seen. Ross, accompanied by Admiral Cochran6
in the van, proceeded without assistance about fout
miles, when CALAMITY accompanied by two companies
of Serreu's fine regiment led by Captains Leverng
and Howard, and Capt Aisquilh's rifle company /,
composing an advance, detached under Mai. Rich
ard Heath, accompanied as volunteer by Robert
Goodloe long one Of the most distinguished mem
bers of Congress, bringing on what was called the
battle of North Point by fortunately killing Gener
al Ross"
The title Of this work ought 10 be slightly alter
ed !. should be styled IngersOIl's War with the
Kings English.-Rich. Repub.

POETRY.
LOVE NEVER SLEEPS.


Love never sleeps! The mothers eye
Bends DER her dying infants bed;
And as she marks the moments fly,
When death creeps ON with noiseless tread
Faint and distressed she sits and weeps,
With beating heart. Love never sleeps.
Yet cen that sad and fragile form,
Forgets the tumnlts of her breast;
Despite the horrors Of the storm,
Der hprdenel nature sinks tn rest;
But DER them both another keeps
His midnight watch. Love never sleeps.
Around-above-the angel bands
Stoop DER the care worn sons of men;
With plying eyes and eager hands
They raise the soul to hope again.
Free as the air their pity sweeps
The storm of Time. Love never sleeps.
Around-beneath-and over all,
O'er men and angels, earth and heaven,
A higher bends! the slightest call
Is answered, and relief is given,
In hours of woe, when sorrow sleeps
The heart in pain. He never sleeps.

JoEN QUfNcY ADAMs.--A life Of this distinguish
ed man, by FIX Governor w. II. Seward, ofNew
York, has just been published. The last scene OF
his life is thus impressively described iu it:
"lis could not shake of the dews Of death that
gathered on his brow. He could not pierce the
thick shades that rose before him But he knew that
eternity lay close by the shores Of time He knew
that his rcdeemer lived. Eloquence, even in that
hour, inspired him with his ancient submty OF III
terance. This, said The dying man, IS the last OF
earth = lie paused for . momentand then added, i
am contentn Angels might well draw aside the
curtains of the skies 10 look dowa on such scene"

CHURCH BELLs.-There is something beautiful
in the Church Bells-beautfuI and hopeful! They
talk to high and low, rich and poor, in the same
voice there is a sound in them that should scare
pride and envy, and meanness of all sorts, from the
heart of man that should make him look on the
world with kind, forgiving eyes; that should make
the earth itself seem to him, at least for time. a
holy place. Yes, there is a whole sermon in the
very sound of the church BELLS if we have only the
ears to understand il. There is preacher in eve
ry belfy that cries, "Poor, weary, struggling, fight
ing creaiures-poor human things take rest, be qui-
et Forget your vanities, your foies, your week
day craft, your heart-burnings! Aud you, We hui
man vessels, gilt and painted, believe the iron
tongue that tells you that for all your gliding all your
colors,ye are the same Adams earth with the beg
gar at your gates. Come away, come, cries the
church bell, and learn to be humble, learrsxhat how
ever daubed and stained and stuck about with Jew.
els, you are but grave clay Come, Dives, come
and be taught that all your glory, as you wear it is
not half so beautiful in the eye of Heaven, as the
sores Of the accomplishing Lazarus and We poor
creatures ivid and iant-staind and crushed by the
pride and barshness of the world-come, come. cries
the bell, with the voice of an angeI-come and learn
