Don't You remember sweet Alice, Ben B"lt,
Sweet Alice, whose hair WIS 81 brown;
Who wept with delis when you gave her smile,

And the buttonball tree with s molly limbs,

And where once the lords of the forest waved,
Grow grass and the golden grain.

And the shaded nook, in running brook,
Where the children went to swim.

FRIGuTrrL MASSACRE AT SEA.-The
ship Robert Bourne, Bryson, master, sailed
for this port from Annoy on the 2lst March,
having on hoard $50 Coolies. In lat %
~, long. 1913 f., difficulty occurred be.
tween the captain and officers and the Coo
lies, when the former were all m.irdered.
Some Of the crew escaped by taking to the
boats. The vessel subsequently went ashore
on one of the Mayancse Islands in the China
Sea, where the Coolies were received by the
natives in the most friendly manner. The
seamen who had not been fortunate enough
to escape, then succeeded in getting the
vessel off and putting to sea, aud ultimately
reached Annoy, when the L. |. Cos steamer
Seimarias and revenue brig Silly were mmc.
diately dispatched to arrest the muiinecrs.
At the latest dates, number of the mutt.
neers were committed for trial. A portion
Of the cargo taken by them was brought

TIKI Y1NALITY OF THE COMPROMISE.

The following article from the leading
Democratic paper Of New York, shows how
much truth there is in the cry of the poll
ticians, that we are now to have rest from
the abolition agitation,-that tho compromise
has given peace to the country. Let it be
remembered also, that the most powerful
Wing paper of that city, the Tribune, takes
the same positions in still more offensive
language. 1t is the eager hunt for the spoils
of office that alone prevents these notes of
hostility from being heard.-Charleston Mer.

ing out of the existence of slavery in this
country is at all end. After referring first to
the Missouri Compromise, and then to the
admission OF Texas as one of the States of
the American Union, the Atlas proceeds to
say:
"The third and last great epoch arose out
of the acquisition of territory conquered
from Mexico. This having been settled,
whether right or wrong, we have no desire
now to discuss, we can see no prospect of
renewal of the discussion, and we believe
that the pillows Of contention, which arose

Is CHOLERA CONTAGIOUS From the
following statement, made by the Boston
Atlas, it would appear that this disease is
contagious:
al few days ago, an elderly man, 4 resi-
dent of Ohio city, opposite Cleveland, went
to Cincinnati On his return FROM the latter
city to his home, he was attacked with
Asastic cholera, and soon after he reached
his dwelling, died. The members Of his
family who tonk care of him, were attacked,
one after another. and died also. Two
members of a neishboring family, who at.
tended them, also sickencd and died. Two
residents of Cleveland, connected with or
members of the family of a physician who
attended the patients. were also seized and
died, ana at the last accounts several others
were very sick with Ibis mysterious malady.
Thus, in less :han 4 week, nine persons died
of it, the first victim and the first case being
! the old gentleman above alluded to. How
is this to be accounted for except upon tho
supposition that the disease is contagious!
We have these facts from gentleman
Just from Cleveland, who gave US the names
of the victims, and who otlcatcd ut the
burial of some of them"
