HUMAN LOVE.

S Oh! if there is one law above the rest,
Written in Wisdom-If there is a word
That would trace as with pen of fire
Upon the unsullied temper ola child
If there is anything that keeps the mind
Open to Angel visits, and repels
The ministry Of ill-tis Human Lore!
God has made nothing worthy Of contempt
The smallest pebble in the we'll of Truth
Has its peculiar meanings, and will stand
When mans best monuments wear fast away.
The law OF Heaven is Lore-and tho its name
Has been usurped by passion, and profaned
To- its unholy uses through all time,
Still, the external principle is pure;
And in these deep affections that we feel
Omnipotent within us, can We see
The lavish measure in which love is given.
And in the yearning tenderness of child;
For every bird that sings above its head,
And every creature feeding on the hills,
And every tree and flower, and running brook
We see how everything was made to love,
And how they err, who, in world like this,
Find any thing to hate but human pride.

NUMBER 7S.

A letter from an American in Rio de Janeiro
thus describes some Of the peculiarties which
came under his notice in the Brazilian capital;
All citizens of distinction in Rio have in their
employ a large number of servants, whom they
dress in livery. 1t is wonderful and striking to
see the handy legs Of the negroes encased in blue
breeehes, fitting close to the skin; with pair of
tremendous military boots reaching to the knees
and spurred on the heels; short jacket profuse-
y ornamented with brass buttons; cap decora-
ted conspicuously with gold lace, and all the
nameless trappings that are supposed to give
dazzling effect to high life. The eabrioIets are
drawn sometimes by mules, but chiefly by hor-
ses. The drivers seat is behind, but very high,
so as to overlook the body of the vehicle. Pub
lie drivers we'll rs private, wear the prevailing
livery. 1t appeared to me that more than half
the inhabitants of Rio, of every condition wear
some badge of office. Laced coats and military
caps are seen on all sides. Boys of ten or fifteen
years of age strut about town in the uniform of
full grown officers. Some of these, I believe,
are cadets, belonging to the Emperor's military
school.
The burdens, such as coffee, flour, baskets, &c.
are carried from place to place on the heads of
the negroes. 1t is astonishing what immense
weights these carriers transport in this manner.
An instance is related to me of negro who
carried barrel of rum from one extremity of
the city to the other, distance of several miles
This is we'll authenticated, having been tested
by wager made by an American resident with
visitor to Rio, both of whom were personally
interested in the result. frequently saw these
negroes carry at brisk trot, as much as four or
five hundred pounds on their heads. A gentle
man of my acquaintance said he saw eight hun
dred pounds carried to a considerable distance
in this way was also told of feat performed
by negro belonging to Mr.. Rudge, who lives
up in the mountains of Tejuco, that quite sur
prised me, as knew by personal experience the
difficulty of walking there without any burthen.
This man was in the habit Of carrying up every
week on his head, barrel or two of four nor
did he make a practice ofrestng on the way but
once and then only few minutes. The distance
to Mr.. Ridges is at least eight or ten miles, and
over steep and very rugged road. I have fire.
quently seen a negro bearing along at a brisk
trot, bureau or sofa on his head, and this too
with as much apparent ease as ifhe had nothing
on but his hat. The pedlars carry large cases
filled with stocks of all sorts of fancy ware on
their heads, shouting the price as they pass each
house. One of these met near the top of the
Corcovado, whittier he had carried his wares to )
sell 10 U1Ie country people.

Earthly prosperity" says a
thoughtful writer, SHOULD be estimated by its
influence on the soul. What we hear termed
advcrsities, may in reality be blessings: When
we cast off these vestments of clay, they will,
perhaps, come in shining garments to welcome
us to everlasting habitations."
This is beautiful sentiment. How often
docs it happen that we do not know our own
strength until we have been thoroughly tried in
the furnace of affliction We find ourselves
coming forth from the fiery ordeal, stronger than
when we entered-rcfned, perhaps, in some de-
gree, from the dross of earth, and prepared tc
exclaim, with the philosopher, sweet are the
uses of adversely

INTERVIEW WITH BILLY BowLEGs AND THE
FLORIDA INDIANs.-Mr Lea, the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, had an interview with Billy
Bowlegs, and the Indians accompanying him, on
Thursday, in the presence of Judge Wayne, of
the Supreme Court, Gen. Eaton, and other gen.
tlemen. TIE old Indiauized negro, Abraham,
acted as interpreter. Billy Rowlegs did not ap-
pear to be very communicative as his reply to
nearly every question put to him was "very WELL"
or" will listen" The Commissioner, however,
proceeded toexplain to them that the treaty made
by the United States Government in 1882 with
the Selninoles for their removal from Florida,
was still in force, and not, as the Seminoles now
supposed, abrogated, because all those who had
made it had since. died. He told them that the
treaty must be carried out, as demanded by the
people of Florida and continued in strain of
fatherly advice to urge them to remove freely
and quietly to the West, where they would be
protected by the government, and where num-
Der of Seminoles are now living in peace Abra-
ham, the colored man, stated that he had been
living among the Western Indians for fourteen
years, and said he had often told Billy Bowlegs
it would be better for him and his people to go
there. Bowlegs, however, in reply to the Com
missioner, said he had bad cold, but he would
study on the subject, and give an answer at
subsequent interview. Gen. Jessup having
known Billy in Florida, the latter was taken into
his department, and seemed pleased to see him,
and also became very communicative. To one
question casually put by Gen. Jessup, " are you
going to the country West?'-Billy, though
previously conversing in English, suddenly stop
ped, and referred to Abraham to give the reply,
which was, II do not know yet" This conver-
sation was not renewed, and the Indians soon
left.

VIRTUE.

"'Tis not for mortals always to be blest
put him the least the dull or painful hours
Oflife oppress, whom sober sense conducts,
And virtue, through this labyrinth we tread
Virtue and sense mean not to disjoin
Virtue and sense are one; and, trust me, still
A faithless heart betrays the head unsound.
Virtue (for mere good-nature is fooD
Is sense and spirit with humanity:
'Tis sometimes angry, and its frown contounds;
'Ts even vindictive, but in vengeance just.
Knaves fain would laugh at it, some great one:
dare;
But at his heart the most undaunted sol.
Of fortune breads its name and awful charms.
To noblest uses this determines wealth;
This is the solid pomp ofprosperous days;
The peace and shelter of adversely.
And if you pant for glory, build your fame
On this foundation which the secret shock
Defes of envy and al-sapping time.
The gaudy gloss offortune only strikes
The vulgar eye; the suffrage of the wise,
The praise that's worth ambition, is attained
By sense alone, and dignity ofmind.
Virtue, the strength and beauty of the soul,
Is the best gift of Heaven: happiness
That even above the smiles and frowns of fate
Exalts great natures favorites; wealth
That ne'er encumbers, nor can be transferred.
Riches are oft by guilt and baseness earned;
Or dealt by chance to shield lucky knave,
Or throw cruel sunshine on fool.
But for one end, one much neglected use,
Are riches worth your care; Qor Natures wants
Are few, and without opulence supplied0
This noble end is, to produce the soul;
To show the virtues in their fairest light:
To make humanity the minister
Of bounteous Providence; and teach the breast
That generous luxury the gods enjoy"

The BIBLE BETTER THAN PIsToLs-The Rev.
Mr. WAsHBURN, Bible agent for Connecticut in his
last report, relates the following fact:
One donor, who is stranger to the hope of
the gospel, told me that he had resolved 10 aid
in giving the Bible to the world, as long as he
had the means to do SO. He thought it ndis'
pensible to the security ofproperty and the rights
of men. He said he once heard an irreligious
and profane man, whose business required him
to be often among strangers say, shat he always
carried his pistols with him, and usually laid them
under his pillow at night; but when he san Bi,
bic in the house that had the appearance Of being
aOeU used, he neuer took his pistols from his pal
use,

Marriage.

Marriage is change of cxistence-a death
birth, as our German friends would say-an
Eyolri.-a transit from one life to another, and
with ~ nnIcnerable veil of doubt and unccr-
taintv siI2:d over that other life as is over that
life to whose dominions death is the portal
"Where we are we know" may man about to
be married well excaim; "wherc We have been
we also know; whittier we are going no man
knoweth, norcan know, till the going has merged
into the gone" Charles said no man could
be said to be truly brave until he had snutfcd
candle with his fingers; but my idea is, that no
mans can be so severely tested, as by entering IN
to the holy state of matrimony, provided always
that the man be of a contemplative, reflective
nature This courage is more required Oh the
woman's part than the mans She must infal-
libly know less of him than he of her, as he be-
holds her ever in the world she moves in; where
as he, when he leaves her, mingles and is lost i'll
the crowd of outer life. Whether he keeps him
self apart among virtuous, or has his haunts
among the vicious, she can only hear by report,
and report is not witness TO be trusted, and te-
male etiquette denies her the searching inquiries
necessary for complete satisfaction again,
he has more resources than she, if the home be
made unhappy by the ill assorted union. The
tavern, the theatre, the meeting, the mart are
all open for him. lie can be away from home
when he likes; and when from home to all IN
tents and purposes, he is bacheloragaln.: Not
so she, poor lady. Once a wife, wife forever.
She NAV not, cannot, would not, dare not leave
him. The laws, her children, her womanly IN
stinct, alike forbid it. She never can lay down
her witehood and become a maid again. And
even if she do separate from him, and return
once more to her fathers house, the gay heart
the unspeakable palpitations of maideny desires
and hopes the budding promises of coming life
these are no longer; the butterfly is freed but
its wings are torn and interchangeable can fly
no more. Hence there is nothing more lovely
than when a maiden leans her fair cheek upon
her lovers breast, and whispers, "Dear heart !! |
cannot see, but belieye-the past was beautiful
but the future can trllst-aUiM hee"

LEMON JUICE FOR ACUTE RuEuMATIsM.-The
treatment of acute rheumatism with lemon juice
us noticed in the Scientific American more than
a year ago, having been successfully practiced in
Europe, has been tried here, and found to be a
very e!fectual remedy. DR.. T. D. Lee, of this
city has communicated his experiment with it to
the New York journal Of Medicine. lie cites
two cases one a male and the other female who
had been subject to severe rheumatism for a
number of years, and who were often troubled
with acute pains, severe swengs, and could find
no ehectual remedy. He gave them lemon juice
from fresh lemons, in quantities of tablespoon
full in twice the quantity of cold water, with a
little sugar, every hour. The effect of the le-
mon juice was almost instantaneous in ten days
the worst case was cured, and in seven the other
was able to 90 out, and there was n flcxibility
about the joints after the cure, quite unusual in
the recovery after other modes of treatment
The London Medical Times" directed attention
to this remedy for rheumatism in 1850, and we
would state, that it may answer for one person
and not for another. There are two cases re-
corded in Brathwait's Retrospect, Part %, 1851,
pages 81 and 3S, where one patient was efec-
tually cured with lemon juice after calcium, Gallo
mel and opium had been tried in vain, and tho
other, where lemon juice failed and the patient
was cured with opium and calomel pills, taken
along with draughts Of the acetate of potash
and nitre in camphor mixture.

A Man BURIED ALIVE AN Irishman who
died suddenly on the rail road, was buried at
Wheeling on the 18th inst Those who atten-
ded the funeral, after lowering the coffin into the
grave returned to their homes, leaving man
to fill up the grave. 1t appears that after
throwing in few shovels full of earth he was
alarmed by singular noise as of kicking and
struggling in the coffin and ran away. Coming
I'M with Mr.. Fitzimmons he told what he had
heard, both Immediately returned, raised and
opened the coffin, and found the man turned on
his face and his person warm. The Gazette says
that if the coffin had been opened when the COM
motion was first heard, the man might have been
saved and that he died solely from suffocation.

teen dollars head for the lot, which he refused,
