EsEReY-WHAr IF DOES. I'VE love vour
upright energetic men. Pull them this way,
and then that way, and the other, and they on NJ
ly bend but never break. Trip them down, and
in a trice they are on their feet. Bury them II,
the mud, and in an hour they will be out and
bright. They are not ever yawning away exiss-
tence, or walking about the world as if they had
come into it with only half their soul; you can
not keep them down--you cannot destroy them.
But for these the world would soon degenerate.
They are the salt Of the earth. Who but they
start any noble projecta They build our cities,
and rear our manufactures. They whiten the
ocean with their sails and they blacken the h:ay-
ems with the smoke Of their steam-yessels and
furnace fires. They draw their treasures from
the mine. They plough the earth. Blessings
on them! Look to them, young men and take
courage; initiate their example, catch the spirit
of their energy. Without life, what are You
good for, if it is passed idly awaN We should
ever measure thus ife's employment. @2iiiG

THE Crr OF HArTI.-Instead of handsome
city, such as it appears from the ships deck at
sea, rising on gradual elevation from the shore,
and adorned with good houses and gardens you
enter into streets of wooden buildings, with the
pavement dislocated or broken up, the drains
neglected, and filth andstable dung interruptlng
steps in every direction. The quay is spacious,
but the water is shallow near the shore; and all
sorts of uncleannesses are suffered to annoy the
senses. A constant malaria is the consequence,
which at certain seasons of the year renders the
lower quarter of the city very sickly, and occa-
sions much mortality among the sailors from
foreign ports. Port-au-Prince, with all its ad-
vantages Of situation, with every inherent d capa-
bility Of being made and kept delightfully."- clean,
is perhaps the filthiest in the world. The houses
in general are of two stories, but built slightly
of wood to avoid the rend and tear occasioned
by earthquakes, which at different times have
nearly demolished the city, Some few of the
better inhabitations are Of brick or stone, and
may be called handsome edifces, The Senate
house is plain substantial building, with no

C. The following picture Of misery
10 from the Paris correspondent Of the
New York Herald Whether the sketch
be drawn from fact or fancy we do not
know. The veraci,y Of the writer is
VIGOROUSLY mere matter Of expedicn-
cy:-
A very interesting case was related TO
me by an American gentleman, who
knew the parties, who are concerned in
the matter. II appears that, few days
ago, (last week., passing by the dead
house" Of Paris, he was induced, by
curiosity, to look Oh the marble tables
upon which the men and women, who
have been found dead and have no rela-
tivcs are exposed to the public gaze, in
order TO be recognized by friends before
their burial. There were several men
and women, all corpscs, in that funeral
place; but among them, on the centre
table, there was the body of young
woman naked, and as white as a'abasler
My Amcri an friend did look at her;
aid, to his great astoni.hment, he re.
cognized person whom he had known
in New York, at the convent Of TIE Sa-
cred Heart, where lie often visited one
OF his sisters " ho was educated there
After some inquiries, my friend found
out that Miss -, (I must, out Of re
speci to her relation, suppress her name),
who had pronounced her vows and en-
tered the convent, having made the ac-
quaintance Of a young gentleman who
had also sister at the Sacred Heart
had resolved to abandon the place and
to eIope with him. This took place.
and both sailed for Europe to escape
those who would have some intercs to
re-instatc the young lady into the con-
vent or 10 punish her ravisher. They
came TO Paris: and lived happy together
for some time, when, on certain day,
the young man abandoned his visits,
and she was left pennyless and friend
less in foreign city, where she had no
way TO escape misery. Doomed by her
despair, she committed suicide by as
phixia and was thus brought to the
Morgue, the dead house ol Paris. My
American friend, with some other OF his
countrymen, paid the expense Of her
funeral, and she was buried at the
Cimetere Perc Lachaise with simplicity,
but also with much deccncy. Peace to
her ashes!

HoLToY, Feb. 5, 1852.

Editor Of The Mail The press OF
Maine is so afraid TO sreak ont on that
"bill Of abominalons,n the Maine Ii
quor Law, which assImes 10 decide
what respectable men may drink, ,ha,
we hear just nothing oi' lis actual opera
tion except through foreign papers. In
few iowps or cities such lib Portland,
Bangor, Rockland, &c. a great cry is
raised of lis success. OF these places ]
know nothing except through muzzled
press. But can speak ofa large sec.
ton of the State in the interior, and will
tell you what know in The young and
rising county cf Aroostook, the largest
in the State. Public opinion completely
nullIiies the law. This alone is sufficient
objection to its enactment. The ten.
dency of such laws is to destroy the
sanciity Of law and reduce society 10 its
original elements. So overwhelming is
this public sentiment in this instance,
that though we have cut-throals" here
ready TO seize their neighbors property,
not magistrate could be found TO grant
them n warrant nor q sheriff TO execute
ii. So strong is this hostility that all
men in official position are heartily with
the people, and county and town officers
sympathise heartily with this spirit
Among these are men Of wealth and
respectability, men qualified to preside
over the affairs Of the State. in fact
not man of any standing or respecta-
bility Is favorable TO the law or its exc
cution. is it worth while for Massachu-
setts to make laws productive Of such
results2 Such IS believed to be its
practice and operation in large proper
ton of the State Of Maine, though per
haps here and there an occasional prose-
cCtion may be got up and published TO
keep up the cry that The law works
admirably This is the natural result
Of the unbiased sentiment OF the peoples
Blu. probably public sentimen, is more
emphatic in this section, Tor the proies-
sional efforts OF a young and rising At
,orney, James G. Madigan, who by his
mastery exposition TO the Objectionable
features Of the old law and his eloquent
defence Of the rights Of the people, his
noble exposition of true temperance
principles, and above all by his manner
Of handling an infamous association Of
"ram rods" banded together to CRAFTY
personal malice, and by using Tor this
Infamous purpose the most base and un-
princpled means-prcparcd the public
mind for almost deadly hostility to law
and its abettors.

stated that one OF the characteristic dis

forbidden TO the for ner, and allowed to the

Which wears its burning way along;
constant sigh is on IN, breath

Which rolls IN darkened clouds around,
Or move the sorrow from my soul
Which clings with sombre hue profound.
l feel the cold winds madly sweep,
And hear their mournful echoes ring;
Their dirge-like sounds are deep and full,
But yet no pleasant music bring.
No soothing anthem breaks the moan,
No cheering strain floats on the air,
But all is piercing dark and cold,
The starless gloom OF wild despair.
All, thus a worldly heart feels lost,
When griefarrests its sinful flight,
And all its falsely gilded thoughts
Are stripped of folly's tinseIled light.
But oh !,his gloom is not supreme
To hold the heart in iettered pain;
There is hope beyond the earth,
To call it back to joy again.
Bu, not to sinful thoughts and deeds,
Or trihng waste Of precious time,-
But joy that fills a pardoned soul,
And makes its ev'ry act sublime.
Sublime, because all free from SIN,
