LOVE NEVER SLEEPS

Love never sleeps s" The mothers eye

And as she marks the moments fly,
While Death creeps on with noseless tread,
Faint and DISTRESSED, she sits and weeps
With beating heart -" LoUe neUer sleeps ~
Yet, cen that sad and fragile form
Forgets the tumult of her breast;
Despite the horrors of the storm,
O'erburden'd Nature sinks to rest;
But DER them both another keeps
His midnight watch" LOue 7,eUer sleeps ?"
Acknowledgements angel bands
Stoop o'er the careworn sons Of men;
With plying eyes and eager hands,
They raise the soul to hope again;
Free as the air, their pity sweeps
The storms OF Time =" L0Ue neuer sLeepS ,"
And round -beneath-and over all
Der men and angels, earth and heaven,
A higher bends The slightest call
Is answer'd-and relief is given
In hours Of woe, when sorrow sleeps
The heart in pain" lie neUer sleeps!"
Oh, God OF Love our eyes to thee,
Tired OF the worlds false radiance, turn
And as We view thy purity,
We feel our hearts within us burn
Convinced that in the lowest deeps

IMPORTANT FROM THE SANDWICH ISLANDS
THE Blockade Of Honoiuln.-The state Of affairs at
Honolulu, as communicated to the Marine Repor-
ter of the Alta California, is mainly as follows;
"The report is, that the commander OF the
French Frigate Serieuse, had demanded from the
Government of the Hawaiian Islands, the payment
of $4,000, as Communication for customs collected,
as the French authorities aver, contrary to treaty
stipulations This the King, Kamehameha, re-
fused to pay, and declares that he throws himself
under the protection OF the Governments OF Great
Britain and the United States. The French com
mander thereupon landed his men, and marched
them through the town, which act he repeats
daily. He has prevented several Hawaiian vessels
from proceeding to sea, but does not disturb the
commerce of other nations. This is the substance
of the information, for the perfect accuracy OF
which the Alta California does not vouch."
The fact, however, that the port of Honolulu
may be at this moment under blockade, is calcu-
lated to excite considerable interest in American
minds.
The Sandwich Islands have Of late assumed a
great degree Of Importance; situated almost IN
line between San Francisco and Australia, Their
ports have been found convenient II not M
dispensable, as touching points to our shipping
This consideration alone makes their independence
of European control matter Of primary Interest
to American commerce.. Their acquisition, more
over, by either Great Britain France, would give
to one of these powers preponderance in the Pa
cifc which would prove alike injurious to oul
political and commercial interests

Verdict Of a Jury Reviewed.

In the trial before the Baltimore County Court,
Of William Cain, indicted for the murder oil man
named Michael Fainbach, the jury have gwen
verdict of Not Guilty" This trial had caused
great excitement; it proceeded under clrcum-
stances of highly aggravated nature, and was
yerv protracted one The verdict Of the jury has
aroused public feeling to inquiry into the eff
ciency of the laws for the protection of person and
pronertv. The Baltimore Sun, usually cautious,
speaks out boldly on this subject. Its remarks
strike deeply some where, and must elicit enough
to show us that the stream of justice has been
polluted some where
"The peope-those who respect the civil insti-
tutions Of the country, and who fondiy imagine
that under the laws OF the land social rights and
personal security protected-must OF necessity
commit without reserve, these sacred interests to
the machinery Of our courts Of justice. They can
not attend the halls of criminal jurisprudence, and
if ignorance is bliss it is well they cannot. But
they look to the Press the guardian Of the great
public institutions OF our country to exercise due
vigilance, that abuses, fraud and corruption shall
rot vita,e and ssbveri the foundations Of social
| existence The Press, however, effect moth
ing retornatory in such matters as these, but by
| the most solemn appeals to the people to protect
themselves against party and political Influences,
exerted in any manner irrespective Of high moral
qualifications in the candidate for public office.
Here is the initiative Of all reform and un-
less this is adopted as cardinal principle with the
people themselves, most sacred institutions
| will become eventually sinks of fetid corruption
| The demagogue presumes more and more, upon
every revolution OF the political machine and in a
short time it will invade without mask the halls
of justice and unhesitatlngly display himself in
| active sympathy with crime, that he may ensure
| the favor OF its perpetrators and abettors.
| Of the character of the offence charged in the
case under notice it is almost too startling in view
of the result, to speak. A banded party, armed
with guns and pistols, set out upon deliberate
and violent expedition against single household
/ of two or three men, women and children mur
der an unotfending man, and, when brought before
| a court of justice, parties to the very act com,
| upon the stand and swear that this man didn't d.
it, and that man didn't do it, and jury of thsi
| fellow-ctze take them at their word and hol,
them guiltless. Why, who is safe under such al
| administration Of the law as this? Two men a
| well as twenty may invade household and com
| init murder, and each shall swear that the othe
did not do it, and both, of course, shall be held in
nocent of all offence. But the thing is too serou
for an illustration of any sort. 1t is fruitful of evil
view it may; and nothing has transpired i
this community for years which presents sue
cause of apprehension with respect to the vital in
terests OF society the event under consideration.

assembled at Jefferson City, Missouri, from places
far and near to witness the novel spectacle of the
execution of an Indian. The Indians counsel
the 18th, (day previously had telegraphed to Wash
ington City to procure a respite, and ten minutes
before ten A. NJ, of the morning of execution, a
dispatch was received by the United States Mar
shal at st. Louis, from Millard Fillmore, President
Of the United States, directing him to postpone the
execution of the Indian See-see-sah-ma, until Fri
day. the 18th of April.
like order from the Marshal was forthwith
dispatched to Jefferson City, and thousands Of per
sons gaping in momentary expectation to witnes.
the ceremony, and who had spent hours in gazing
on the scafold, turned away in disappointment
when told that there to be execution.
If this Indian. thinks life worth retaining, anc
has any gratitude in his composition, he will give
the people on his next appearance before them
whether on the scaffold or elsewhere, the bes
Indian speech that he manufacture electricity
