Poverty, says Douglass Jerrold, is
a bitter draughi, but may, even some
times 10 advantage, be gulped down.
Though the -drinker makes wry faces,
there may, after all be wholesome
goodness in The cup, But debt, how
ever courleousiy it be offered, is the
cup of a siren, and the wine spiced
and delicious though il be, a subtle
poison. The man out Of debt, though
with flaw in his jerkin, crack in
his shoe leather, and a hole in his
hat, is still the son Of liberty, free as
the singing lark above him, but the
debtor though clothed in the utmost
bravery, what is be but a serf upon a
holliday-a slave TO be reclaimed at
any instant by his owner, the credit
or? Ny son, il poor, see wine in the
running spring; lei thy mouth water
at the last weeks roll; think none the
less Of a coat because il is thread
bare: and acknowledge a white wash
ed garret the fittest place for a gen.
tleman. Do this and shun debt
So shall thy heart be at peace, and
the sheriff be confounded.

ONE SECRET OF A HAPPY LIFE.


We wele in company the other

with a gentleman apparently fifty or
sixty years Of age, who used IN sub
stance the following language:

to fellow being whenever | had The
opportunity. / regret very much
that nv habit has been so different.
that have induced feelings as unlike
those which would lead to such a
course of life.

let others take care of themselves

little trespass was committed on my

annoyed. and sometimes used harsh
and reproachfuI language towards
the offender.

happiness was greatly impaired by
this course, and that my conduct and
example contributed to the Irritation
and unhappiness OF others. T7-f.

Guayaquil. The writer is well known
in Western Texas: . e7el
PANAMA, August 2, 1852.
Dear Sir:-I landed here safe and
sound Yesterday. The campaign Of my
friend, Gen. Flores, has ended; all is
lost; the enemy whipped US in every
right, and came near kicking US nut oi
the country. They made us leave, and
let me assure you we did not wait for
official orders-and, speaking of time. II
was a1Ittle quicker than what is gener-
ally known as "double quick" Gen
Flores is great man, and had every
paper "all right" except one. His ar.
my was Of no account, and most of his
officers not worth a cent. His army
was made up of thieves and robbers,
and all were officers, except our small
party OF Americans--who, however, at
last took il into their heads that they
might be officers too; SO they were all
officers afterwards.
Flores is not dead. We will GO it
again in the course of time. Had plen~
ty to eat, and plenty Of fighting; in pris-
on twice--laid fiat; stood fire three>
quarters ofan hour--grape and canister;
thought il was year; got whipped atthe
"gvoine oE,"--a COW 6ghil
A man-of-war schooner was blowed
up; killed only AZ (all thieves) only 4S
on board. The other died in week.
Fine country-Louisiana nowhere.
Natives very bad people-fght like Sa-
tan-no shoes, and never work. Splen-
did river. Sugar. cotton, coffee, tobac-
CO, rice, everything, grows without work.
Mines Tich-climate pleasant--never
sweat, never want fire, only to cook
Saw Chimborazo--besutiful beyond all
description-all other countries have
seen put in the shade. Going now to
raise an army of Mormons-FIores in
command-and take the country. Nor.
mons want some place TO go to--can't
stay in the United States-(ya tampocO)
