A good reason why you declined giving

Maxwell was greatly disappointed:
know, he has spoken very hard againt

of action is to do right, and let others think
and say what they please. No man is my
judge. Maxwell is not, probably, aware tha

How did you learn this ?? was asked of him
No matter, he answered I have learned it
You can't go lower and build the dam safely

the dam, and make good profit. As to the
safety, I'll leave that in the hands of Provi

You would have been no better than he i

yet this same man inveighs against the rich,
and thinks their chance of heaven poor one
Simply because they are lich?
Or, it might with more truth be said, be
cause they will not yield TO his eovetious and
envious spirit. He is not content with the

That spirit have often seen him manifest,

TIE ISLAND or MfEoRcA--This Island Is
known to our Naval officers. Port Mahon, is
principle port. having served for many years
as naval station for our squadron in the Ned
iteIranean. The remarks which follow are
translated from an article in the Gaceta Militaf
published at the Court Of Madrid, referring to
recent royal decree authorizing an approph-
alton of two millions of reals ($TooI00o) to-
ward the forti6cation of the Island
An appropriation, of two millions Of reals has
Just been made and placed at the disposal Of
the Minister of War, that he may proceed
without delay in the works Of forti6cafon and
defense Of our island Minorea--of that jewel
which Spain possesses in the Mediterranean;
and which has ever been SO much coveted BY
the most powerful nations Of Europe.
This measure. called for by public opinion
at time like the present, when such extensive
warlike preparations are making on every side
merits our most cordial appsobatiou;
The new and important castle OF the Mole
will soon be an impregnable fortress whose fF-
ings can defend the first port of the MediteTan-
mean, al the mouth Of which il is situated, and
whose advantages and valuable position for our
country il is needless 70 enunleTate, since they
are obvious to every one. z
We may nevertheless suggest, that IN iho
contingency of a war between fhe nations Of
southern Europe, the port of Mahon By itself
will give us a remarkable preponderance ID
the struggle, and that the beligerant partieswilf
importunate!y solicit our alliance and friend
ship, in order that we may give shelter TO their
ships, and assistance and repairs to their squad
ron, at this point, so available for strategical
movements in maratime war-the only kind
of war which can take place in she present
condition of the countries TO which we refer.
