STARVATION IN SPAIN.-It appears that the
miserable condition to which Ireland was re-
duced few years ago, is paralIeled by what i,
now taking place in Spain. A writer in a
French paper says:
In vain the venerable Bishop of St. Jacques
in presence of more than six hundred unrortu-
mates, resembling moving corpses, who daily
besiege his gate, has sold his mules and his
carriage. In vain has he reduced himself and
his servants TO the merest necessaries in order
that he might give the rest 10 those who perish
of hunger. All that he or the other bishops and
clergy, all that the government can do, according
TO the " Esperanz" is but drop Of water 10
extinguish the conhagration. When we speak
Of the government, however, we must remember
that last contribution made by il of 100000
of reals had not been distributed.

uuSHEWRtOst, ~ Is y
The undersigned, citizens OF North East
Missouri, and that portion Of the State Of Illinois
along the proposed mail route, respectfully ask
Of the De partment, the establishment of a daily
mail between Naples, Illinois, and Hannibal,
Missouri.
The distance between the two points is only
forty-eght miles the road excellent, and no
stream TO cross in the whole route that could
delay the transportation of the mails The route
would pass through Griggsville, Pittsfield, Bar
ry and Kinderhsok, all of which are points of
considerable importance, and all growing rapidly,
and greatly in want of even ordinary mail faci.
tiles. By the establishment Of the route above
mentioned, we would receive our Eastern mails,
uia Chicago and Springfield Railroad TO Naples,
and from thence by stage to Hannibal-the whole
time from New York 10 Hannibal would be three
days. By the present arrangement, qua Cincin-
natl, Louisville and ST. Louis, Mo-. to Hannibal,
from eight to ten days Is the usual average time.
We earnestly hope that in consideration of the
facts above stated, and of the very great impor-
lance of the arrangement we have suggested 10
the citizens of North East Missouri, as well as
to those Of Illinois, along the proposed route
that you will see the propriety OF, as we do the
necessity for, the establishment at once of this
daily line, to Naples, Illinois. Hoping that you
will give the matter your earliest consideration
I'VE remain,
Very Respectfully,
Your Fellow Citizens,

Remarkable Incident.

| In a quiet village situated on the shore of
beautiful lake, lived man of some wealth
and independent manners. He disregarded
the Sabbath entirely, and pursued his bus-
ness or pleasure as best suited his convent
jence. He commenced building boat prin-
cpaliy for pleasure excursions on the lake.
" hile he was proceeding with the enter
PRISE. which. it was whispered about, would
afford opportunity for Sunday sailing, he was
called ON by Il minister, who inquired about
the boat, and expostuiated with him, as the
enterprise would increase the wildness and
immortality Of their village. Il am afraid.''
said the minister, :.your boat will prove a
Sabbath breaker" The man looked him in
the face, and with much assurance said.
."Yes, it will; that's just what I'll name nv
boat. I've been thinking what to call her,
and you have just hit it. / thank you for
the suggestion. The boat shall be called
The SABBATH DREAMER" As he said this
he bid the minister good day, with chuckle
at his evident surprise and modification.
The building Went on, and especially on
Sunday. She was soon ready to launch,
and was launched on Sunday, and named
"The Sabbath-breaker," amid the cheers of
some twenty or thirty half intoxicated men.

scarcely four hours had elapsed when the
vessel was struck by a flaw of wind which
came very suddenly upon them. Confusion
reigned on board. Scarce an effort was
made. She keeled almost instantly over,
and went to the bottom. Now what an out

mostly youth, had found watery grave; and

He shall go forward in his spirits strength,
And grapple with the questions Of all time,
ana wiring from them their meanings. As King San
Called up the buried prophet from his grave
70 speak his doom, SO shall this Poet-king
Cali up the dead Past from its awful grave
To tell him Of our future. As the air

On Il dead branch, till II sprouts fragranty
Green leaves and sunny flowers shall he breathe life
Through every theme he touch, making all Beauty
