A GooD SUGGESTION writer in the New
Orleans Delta proposes that subscription be
taken up to purchase suitable presents, to be
transmitted to Mr.. Crawford, the British Con-
sui at Cuba, and his secretary, as mementoes of
our estimation of their noble and praiseworthy
conduct towards our friends and countrymen.
An officer now in prison at Havana writes as
follows:
''The day after our arrival, Mr.. Owens, the
American Consul, called few minutes, but coolly
told US that the Presidents proclamation pre-
vented him from doing any thing for US. He
then complained of the heat, and left us without
one kind word. He saw men around him nearly
starved for bread, and that bread for sale at the
door, but he never offerd them one cent, and
the men were too proud to ask him. Ten dollars
would have bought bread for those men and have
satisfied their hunger. The pleasure of seeing
them eat it would have done any man, who had
not the heart of a stone, thousand dollars
worth of good. The day after, Mr.. w. Sidney
Smith, the English Vice Consul, came, and nearly
cried to see us in that condition. The British
born subjects Immediately received dollareach,
all the money he had in his pocket"

A Parable.

A Parable.
BY J. II. LOWELL.
Worn and footsore was the Prophet,
When he gained the holy hill;
"God has left the EARTH" he murmured;
"Ilere his presence fingers still.
"God of all the olden Prophets,
wilt thou speak with men no moref
Have not as truly served thee
As Thy chosen ones OF yoreE
"Hear me, guider Of my fathers!
Lo an humble heart is mine;
BY thy mercy, beseech thee,
Grant thy servant but signW
Bowng then his head, he listened
For an answer to his prayer;
No loud bursts of thunder followed,
Not murmur stirred the air;
But the tuft of moss before him
Opened, while he waited yet,
And, from out the rocks hard bosom
Sprang a tender violet.
ssGodl thank thee!" said the Prophet;
''IIard of heart and blind was ],
Looking to the holy mountain
For the gift Of prophecy.
"Still thou speakest with thy children
Freely as of old, sublime
Humbleness, and love, and patience,
Still give empire over time.
"Had trusted in my nature,
And had faith in lowly things,
Thou tbyself wouldst then have sought me,
And set free thy spirits wings.
"But / looked for signs and wonders,
That DER men should giveme sway;
Thirsting to be more than mortal,
was even less than clay.
"Ere / entered on my journey,
AS girt my loins to start,
Ran to me my little daughter,
The beloved one of my heart
'sIn her hand she held flower,
Like to this as like may be,
Which, beside my very threshold,
She had plucked and brought to me-"

LAW AND MARRIAGE.-Some of our Judges
are at variance upon a principle somewhat i'm
portant, not only to society generally, but to-
widows especially. Judge Lewis says that all
conditions in wills and devises, in restraint Of
marriage, are void "Who shall decide when
Doctors disagree" !" is question not yet salts
factorily answered. But who shall decide when
Judges disagree, is question much more diff
fcult. Judge Lewis, in support of his opinion,
refers to the laws of nature, the interests of So
ciety, and the happiness of the parties concerned.
Judge Gibson, in defence of his, refers to the
wishes of the deceased testator. The first relies
upon the whole present and future, the second
upon only small portion Of the past. Extent
of ground seems to be in favor of Judge Lewis,
and in the proportion that the whole of Penn
sylvanin, and all living OH its surface, bear to
six feet of earth by two, and one dead body un-
der it. We go for Judge Lewis and are sure
of having all the women on our side; and that
is something.
general principle in the jurisprudence of
England whence our own is derived, is that all
contracts or provisions in restraint of marriage
are void. Every State Of our Union has recog-
nised this principle in all its legislative and u-
dical action upon marriage. And the princi-
pie extends not only to all acts restraining mar
riage between persons legally competent to that
relation but to all contracts among third per-
sons to procure marriages. Hence what are
called marriage brokage contracts, or contracts
between persons to procure marriages between
other persons, are void.-I'hH. Ledger.
