The Soul Weighed against Feather,
During a feeling of religious interest, III
one Of our large cities, few wears ago,
young lady belonging TO gay and fashion
able circle was induced TO attend the
preaching of clergyman, whose labors
had been cminently blessed to the conver-
sion of sinners. She had previously had
seasons of anxiety concerning her soul,
but the attractions of gay and seduclng
world were too congenial to her natural
disposition, to be formally and finally re-
linquished.
On this occasion, the faithful monitor
within seconded, and gave additional force
to the warning voice of the man Of God,
as he held up to her view, her involuntary
rejection of God, and the danger of her
full and fatal remuneration Of his authority
and love.
No, this shall never be- she said
within herself. Il will return unto the
Lord. ! will begin his service now.
But think whispered the tempter--
'vou have a beautiful feather in your hat?
True, she replied, and it has been
very much admired. My beautiful feather
has been my pride, during all the season !;
and many q time has it engrossed my
thoughts in the house of God, and kept me
from needing the solemn truths of the gos-
pei. But it shall be SO no longer This
lime am in earnest
But if you become Christian now,
you must lay aside your feather argued
the tempter. This was new thought
and she tried to believe it an erroneous
one but the more she struggled with the
suggestion, the more strength did 1t ac-
quire, until it was forced to yield assent to
its truth.
Yes, | must give it up, if become a
Christian but how can ? This beautiful
feather in which have so long glorled,
and which has made me an object of ad-
miration and envy to many. Oh, | can
not let it go!'
'Wait little artfulIy whispered the

"BUT YE CAN'T YoTE. Great was
the amazement and dismay among the
Irish laborers when the steam-shoyels were

of the Vermont Central Railroad. and one
of the sturdiest Hibernians, after gazing
at his huge rival for few moments, thus
apostrophised the enemy; We'll, faith,

VERY TRUE.-The taxes are indeed
heavy-said DR.. Franklin on one occasion
and if those laid on by the government
were the only ones we had TO pay, we
might more easily discharge them but
we have many others. We are taxed as
much for our idIeness, three times as much
for our pride; and four times as much for
our folly, and from these the commission
ers cannot deliver US by allowing any
abatement.

ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA.

THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE
The Cunard mail steamer Asia, Captain Jud-
kins arrived at her wharf at New York about
eight o'clock Friday morning, from Liverpool
having LETT that port on Saturday, February
2oth.
ENGLAND.
On the evening Of February 81, friday the
Earl Of Derby, the new Premier, developed his
intended policy. The Times gives the follow
ing summary of tho evenings session:
In tho House Of Lords last night the Earl Of
Derby rose to explain the motives which had
induced him to accept Office, and after paying a
graceful tribute OF admiration to the public and
private virtues displayed by the Marquis of
Lansdowne during hislong political career, pro
coded to say that though the resignation Of the
late Administration had taken him completely
By surprise, he had determined not to shrink
again from the responsibility of forming gov
ernmeAt.
he meant to pursue was that which he was con-
vi iced was hest calculated to secure the bes-
sings Of peace, and this could be best effected
by observing toward foreign Powers a calm and
temperate policy, by ndlsering to the letter to
the obligations imposed on us by treaties, and
by respecting in the case Of all nations great or
small, the right to manage their own affairs
On this head he entirely concurred with tho
opinions expressed on recent occasion by Lord
Granville, that nations should act toward one an
other with dignity and forberance, and that no
State, any more than any private individual,
should be ashamed to make PREPARATION for iniu-
Les. With regard to our power of repelng
aggression, he believed that the navy was never
in more perfect state, ard that efficiency of
our military force, considering its number and
the ardous duties it had to perform, was matter
for admiration.
1t the country were threatened with invasion,
tho people of England, Ireland, and Scotland
would rise as one man; but though no felt no
alarm on that subject, he thought that the pre-
sent moment, while we still enjoyed the bless
lngs OF peuce, was favorable for 80 organizing the
u"!'soIpllned valor ofthe country that they might
resist to the greatest advantage the trained ann
les Of an invader. The noble lord then passed
on, after warning the exiles assembled in this
country that tho Government would not tolerate
any attempt on their part against foreign Pow
ers to the commercial policy which it was his
intention to pursue, and expressed his approval
of the principle of the American tariff rather
than of tho FREQ trade system adopted by tho late
Sir Robert Peel. But though this was his
opinion, no thought tho question could only be
satisfactorily solved by referepce to tho clearly
expressed opinion Of the Intelligent portion OF
the community.
Being, therefore, in a majority, certainly in
one and perhaps in both Houses, on the policy
of free trade, and ot Wishing to interrupt for
any length of time tho deliberations Of the Lee
