A Lesson lin ITSELF sublime.

A lesson in itself sublime,
A lesson worth enshrining,
Is ths-sJ take no heed of time,
Save when the sun is shining"
The Hacttc words the dial bore,
And wisdom never teaches
To human hearts'a better lore
Than this short sentence teaches.
AZ life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget IT'S pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.
There is no grove on eanh's broad chart,
But has some bird to cheer it;
50 hope Sings on, in every heart,
Although we may not hear it;
And II to-day, the heavy wing
Oh sorrow is depressing,
ferchance to.morrow's sun viii bring
The weary heart blessing.
For life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely-
Then let's forget It's Kohl and care,
And note its bright hours onlg-
we pld the joyous moments haste,
And tben4orget their glitter
We take the cup of life, and taste
No portion but the bitter.
But we should teach onr hearts to deem
Its sweetest drops the strongest;
And pleasant hours should ever seem
10 lnger round us longest.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
a4et us forget its toll and care,
And NOTE its bright hours only.
The darkest shadows of the night
Are just before the morning;
Then let us wait the coming light,
All boding phantoms scorning;
And while we're passing on the tide
OF Times fast ebbing river,
Let's pluck the blossoms by its side,
And bless the Gracious Giyer.
Ms life is sometimes bright and lair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget itg pain and care,
And note its bright hoUrs only.

We contemplate the approach of Friday next
with feelings of the deepest awe A young man,
in the possession of health and strength-all his
physical and mental powers, is to be deliberately
put to death in fulflment of the will of the COM
munity, Every man and woman asserting to
this deed, or who does not express dissent, is re-
sponsible for the deed, whether it be just or I'M
just. The President has the power to pardon
the offence or to commute the punishment; but
the President is only the exponent of the popular
will. For his right Interpretation of that will,
he is, of course, accountable to his country and
his God but it is for us all to give it due ex-
preston, Believing that the infection of this
penalty is demoralizing to the community, and
that permanent confinement will subserve the
ends ofjustice, we earnestly hope the latter may
be substituted. If the death of the offender be
unnecessary, then the execution must be wrong
must be murder. May truth and justice guide
all to right conclusions, and may the life of no
human being be sacrificed by our unWise de-
cisions

The recent news from this helpless and I'M
happy country is interesting, and leads us toward
the conclusion that daily presses itself upon our
minds, viz that either the United States or some
other nation must become to her protector and
guardian. 1t appears by adyices from the city
of Mexico to the I'd that the ambassadors Of
Great Britain, France, Spain, Russia, and the
United States, had addressed remonstrances to
the Mexican government against the unfairness
of the custom-house regulations of Mexico, which
made the imposts at Matamoros much less than
those exacted at Vera Cruz and Tampico. To
this the President replied, that the matter was
before Congress, whose members alone had the
power Of changing the laws.
A contract, it is stated, has been entered into
by the King Of Belgium and the Mexican gov
eminent for transporting $4,000 Belgians to the
interior of Mexico, where they are to receive
lands to settle on, or work for Mexican landhold-
ers, on certain conditions. The influence Of fifty
thousand Belgians, sent by their king, may be
easily anticipated From Durango, it is also
stated, more than ten thousand persons have
been compelled to fee to other States, in conse-
quenco of the inroads Of the savages, and the
want Of grain to plant their fields.

A VALUABLE wEEKLY PAPER,

BsE- In reply to communication this morning
received, we take occasion to state that the pres
ent editor Of this paper possessed but one-thrd
of it up to the 28th Of January last that the
control of t,co-hrds passed into the hands of the
Messrs. Green in December; that they had the
exclusive management of its editorial columns, with
out the present editors participation or acqui-
essence in the course pursued, but i'll defiance of
his circumstances that to desert and sacrifice
his interest on the one hand, or to preserve it
and endeavor to obtain the entire control, on the
other were his only alternatives; that he adopted
the latter, and, as it was possible for him
to do so, procured the withdrawal of the gentle
men named, and at once restored the paper to
the character it has always sustained when under,
his guidance. These facts were, from day to day,
known and understood by many PERSONS and it
was on the assurance of number of gentlemen
of high responsibility that the present editor
would be protected from public misrepresentation
that he ever continued connected with the con-
Germ, and prevented its perishing, or being per-
manently devoted to objects foreign from those
he had in view.
