A POETIC CEM-FROM THE PERSIAN.
Once from a cloud. drop Of rain
Fell trembling in the sea.
And when she saw the wide spread main,
Shame veiled her modesty
What place in this wide sea have l,
What room is left for mel
Sure it were better that die
Ia this immensely :"
But while her selfabasins fear
Its lowliness confessed,
A shell received and welcomed her,
And pressed her To its breast;
And. nourished there. the drop became
A pearl for royal eyes
Exalted by its lowly shame.
And humbled but TO rise.

News from the Arctic Ocean,

SAG HARBoR, L.. l., May 8, 1Sf0.
Captain Royce, of the bark Superior, arrived on
Saturday evening last, has furnished us with the
following information relative to his cruise in the
Arctic Ocean. He says, " passed through Behr-
ngs Straits the LIST of July, l84S with current
running to the north at the rate of from four to five
miles an hour, Saw whales in the Straits, work

the land to the north Of the straits, saw large num-
bers Of whales, very gentle, Saw whales every

swept four degrees to the northward Of the en-

Hit him again.

The following capital anecdote we find in the
National Inteligencer:
Gen. I. of New YORK, gentleman of known
wealth and liberality, was not long since called
upon by person to obtain his signature on Pc
titon for the abolition of capital punishment
The person unfolded his papers and documents,
and presented and enforced his argument in rather
a atiresome Speech stopping occasionally to deposit
mouthful oftobacco juice upon nice parlour car
pet Gen. T was in favor of diminishing capital pun
ishments, but doubted the propriety or expedency
of abolishng them in all cases. At the express
sion Of this opinion his visitor began to bride up
and prepare to lay down his arguments with
greater force and in order to give greater facility
to his enunciation, he took from his mouth huge
quid of tobacco and threw it upon the white mar
BILE hearth, saying he wished the General would
be so good as to inform him in what cases capital
punishment could ever be justified or defended.
WELL" said the General " it strikes me that
if, we are going to abolish capital punishment,
there are two cases which should be made excep-
tions.
"Two cases, are there q said the petitioner
"Well, sir, should like to hear them stated and
the arguments for them9'
"The first" said the General, is that of clear,
cold -blooded, premeditated murder. The person
who lies in weight or in ambush, with malice pre-
pense, and takes the life of feow-creature,
ought forfeit his life in return-He deserves to
be hung"
Well. have abundance of arguments to meet
that occasion said the visitor. s. Now should
like to know what is your other case"
"The other case" said the General, :" is that
OF the animal that walks on two legs calls itself
and carries mouthful Of disgusting filth
into clean house, and there pours it fourth upon
the carpet and scatters il over the hearth. Such
being is certainly not fit to live in decent society,
and do not know of any better or more ready
mode of getting rid of him than to hang him
With these two exceptions, think should be
willing to sign your petition for the abolition of
capital punishment"
The visitor gathered up his papers. thrust them
into his pocket and with very bland look hastily
withdrew. He has not called since to receive the
Generals signature.

Camels are often annoyed by sore humps and

Arab, are often neglected till they put an end TO
the animals usefulness. There are also other de-
fects, which the dealers are as dexterous in con-

New World. In purchasing, therefore, it is ne

Tor $40 and for 5000. The cheapest and the best
are to be procured in those places where there Is
least foreign trade for example, Mogadore, in
the Khalitat of Morocco.
With regard to transport, vessel of $50 tons
would hold sixty camels. If such vessel were
to go to Marseiies with cargo of American
goods, and leave that port on her return under ball
last with ten tons of nseed oll-cake and two hun
dred and forty bags of Egyptian beans, stop at
Mogadore and take on board the camels, which
should already have been purchased and held
there in readiness, they would probably be in Gal
weston in about three moths from the time the ves-
sci left America. Twenty five dollars cost. and
twenty FIVE dollars freight of each animal, would
think, be the maximum of the expenses. AT all
events, for 81 900 sixty camels could be easily
brought to Galveston, which would enable CON-
pany of fifty Americans, with ten African servants,
to cross the continent to San Francisco, with the
greatest comfort, in two months and half. They
could take $50 cwts. of baggage, besides arms and
ammunition ; and could also larry food and water
for man and for beast sufficient for four, o. if ne
cessary, even eight days. Two extra camels
might be employed to carry two small field how.

Waste not a Moment.

BY CHARLES LESTER.
There is no time, in any cline.
Tha, should be unemployed
An active mind will ever find
There's nothing dull and void
All things that live, some charms will give
If sought without delay;
From year TO year seem to hear
This truthful voice of Wisdom say,
Waste not a moment
The singing birds, in simple words,
As ever truthful lesson tell.
That Incidence by no pretence,
Can fill our earthly mission well.
Go, watch them work, they never lurk
In Incidence about,
Throughout the day, you'll find that they,
While the light of day is out,
Waste not moment.
II you at ease, your mind would please,
Let not the time be wasted,
But take book, and through it look,
And when its sweets you've tasted,
Peruse it well, and on 1t dwell,
And find some truthful lay
To feed your mind, and then you'll find
The voice of Holy Truth will say,
Waste not a moment
Heed not mankind, who are so blind
To look but al the covers;
Like maidens fair, who only care
For the appearance of their lovers;
But search for truth aspiring youth,
IT'S always worth your finding"
My plain advice is small in price
You'll find it meath the binding
Waste not not moment
In every hour we have the power
To do some little good
live heighbor help TO labor.
IT'S only doing what we should
For we were sent with the intent,
Upon this fertile land,
Man and brother, hel lp one another,
For it's thy Gods command,
