WHAT CONSTITUTES STATE ?-This is a dues-
ton, (says the Baltimore American asked by Sir
VIM. Jones, and answered by himself in lines of
grand import and Of high sounding melody. In the
drift and eddies Of our tide of exchanges there may
be picked up, now and them some floating treasures
worthy of being rescued from random current;
and among these we find unaccrediied extract,
most probably from Horace Mann, which the intel
gent reader Will prize whoever may be the author:
"Let US thank Heaven, too, that there are stand
ards of greatness besides yastness of territory and
other forms of wealth besides mineral deposits or
agricultural exuberance. Though every hill were
Poosi, though every valley, like that of the Nile
were rank with fairness, yet might nation be poor
in the most desperate sense benghted in dark
Of barbarism and Judgment stricken of Heaven
for its SINS State has local boundaries which il
cannot rghtfully transcend but the realm OF intel
ligence, and the sphere of charity, the moral do
| main IL which the soul can expand and expatiate,
are illlmi.abe-vast and boundess as the omni-
presence of the Being that created them. Worldly
treasure is of that nature that rust may corrupt or
the moth destroy, or thieves steal but even upon
the earth, there mental treasures which are un-
approachable by fraud impregnabe to violence, and
whose value does not PERISH but is redoubed with
Its using. State, then, is not necessarily ated
| to InSgnicanc6 because lis dimensions are narrow
nor doomed TO obscurity and poweressDess because
| its numbers are few. Athens was small vet low
as were her moral aims, she lighted up the whole
earth as a lamp lights up temple. Judea was
small but her prophets and her teachers were and
will continue to be, the guides Of the world. The
narrow strip of halfcullivated land, that lies be-
| tween her eastern and western boundaries is not
Massachusetts but her noble and incorruptibe men,
her pure and exalted women, the children in her
schools, whose daily lessons are the preludes and
rehearsas of the great duties OF lie and the proph
| ecies of future eminence-these are the State"

extend 1t in pretended friendship, but their object is
to decoy you from your correct principles. Pass

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT AT SIERRA LEoSE-A
most frghtful accident occurred ashore Sierra Lee
one the Doth of Feb, which caused the death Of
fourteen soldiers of the West India regiment serving
in that colony. The party were employed in clear
ing out the contents ola number Of rockets condemn
ed as unserviceabe, when the missiles in the hand
of one of the men by some means became ignited
and went off, communicating the explosion to the
heap of powder and other decorating compost
tons in heaps and strewed about the place, when
most terrific result ensued. The building in which
the operations were going on was blown into
the air, and with it the bodies of all employed in it,
whose manged remains presented an appearance
far too horrible to attempt to describe. Fourteen
out Of the party died almost Immediately. Only
survived to relate the manner Of the occurrence

EtEsTRAINT ON MARRIAGE.

The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania have recent
ly made decision reversing one made in the Court
below, IN which the question Of restraint on marriage
was involved The facts of the are thus briefly
stated in letter to the Philadelpha News:
Some time since, gentleman died and left his
estate to his "dear and loving wife," on condition
that she would ''never again marry" Thinking
1t not ''good To live lone tciddcr," she appealed
to the COurt-the Hon. Ellis Lewis presdinp--to
"help her out of the scrape." His Honor, to his
INFINITE credit, and her great satisfaction, declared
the Will invalid and contrary to the laws of nature
ana OF nations" and in most eloquent and philo-
sophlcal "oplnion," spoke as follows:
Marriage is a wise regulation i'm harmony with
nature and religion, and is the only efficient pre-
tive of RIGHTEOUSNESS
sit is the appropriate regulation of that great in
sinct OF nature which was designed by the Creator
tO replensh the earth.
''The principle of re- production stands next in
Importance to Its elder born relative sef-preser-
varon and equally fundamental law Of existence
IL is the blessing which tempered with mercy the
justice OF expulsion from Paradise. II was impress
sed upon the human creation by benefcent Prov
Idence to multiply the images ofhimseIf and thus to
promote his own glory and the happiness of his crea-
lures. Not man alone, but The ,rl,olc animal and
vegetable Kingdom are under an ilnperious necessi
ty 10 obey lis mandates. From the lord of the for
est to the monster of the deepirom the subtlety of
the serpent TO the innocence of the dOre-from the
elastic embrace OF the mountain kdiirlia to the de-
scendng qualification Of the lily Of the plain, all ma
ture bows submissively to this prmeval law Even
the JtoGers which perfume the air with their fra
GRANGE and decorate the forests and fields with their
hues, are but "crtains The nuptiaI bed"
Had the matter rested here, everything would
have gone on as ''merry as the marriage bell :"
but, alas! 1t was "carried" to the Supreme Court
and there the "widow's JOY was turned into mourn
ing" by his honor, Judge Gibson, who, most unpo
etically declaring Judge Lewis to have imbbed
wrong, but beautiful notions upon the subject, re-
versed his decision, and upset his theory in the fol-
lowing ''sledge hammar" style:
81 know of no policy on which such point could
be rested, except the policy which, for the sake of
division Of labor, ,could make one man main
tam the children begotten by another. |. would be-
extremely difficult 10 say why husband should
not leave homestead to his wife without being
compelled to let her share it ,cith successor to his
bed and TO use as nest to hatch brood Of strang-
e1s to his blood"
