CouRTEsY-TnISK OF ruIs.-The power Of
difTi,sing happiness is not the exclusive power
Of the rich. All are capable Of it. The poor
est man can cheer me by his affection, or dis
trcss me by his hatred or contempt. Every
man is dependent on another. A piece of neg
lect, even from the lowest and most conte.np.
tibc of men, is fit to rufile the serenity of my
happiness and civil attention even from the
humblcst Of our land carries gracious and
exhilarating influence along with it.
Let me never hear, then, that the poor have
nothing in their power. They have it in their
power to give or withhold kind or obliSng ex-
pressions. They have it in their power to give
or withhold the smiles Of affection and sinceri.
ty of tender attachment Let not the humble
offerings of poverty be disresarded. The man
of sentiment knows how to value them he
prizes them the best deeds of benefcence.-
They tighten the weary anxieties of this world
and carry on with 4 cheerful heart to the end
ofthe journey.

Is RELIGION BEAUTIFUL ?-Always In the
child, the maiden, the wife, the mother, religion
shines with Il holy, Lcnignant beauty Of its own,
which nothing Of earth can mar Never yet was
the female character perfect without the steady
frith Of picty. Beauty, intellect, wcalth-they
are like pilrIlS, dark in the brightest day, unless
the divine light, unless religion throw her soft
beams around them, to purify and exat, making
twice glorious that which seemed all loveliucss
before.
EcEgion is very beautiGul-in health or sick
ness, in wealth or poverty. We cncvcr enter the
sick chamber Of the good, but soft music seems
to float Oh the air, and the burden Of their song
is, 'Lo, peace is here.
Could we look Into thousands Of families to-
day, where discohtcnt sits fighting suIlcnly with
life, We should find the chief cause Of unhappi-
ness, want Of religion in woman.
And in the felons cell, in places of crime, mis-
cry dcstitution, ignorance we should behold in
all its most horrible delormty, the fruit Of ire
liyion in woman.
o religion benignant majesty, high on thy
throne thou stest, glorious and exalted. Not
above the clouds, for earth clouds come never be
meath the clouds, for above thee is heaven open
iug through broad vista Of exceeding beauty.
Its gates in the sllcndor Of jasper and preci-
Gus stones, with dewy light that neither flash
cs nor blazcs, but steadily proceedcth from the
throne Of God. Its tower, bathed in refulgcnt
glory, ten times the brightness Of ten thousand
suns, yet soft, undazzIing to the eye.
And there religion points Art thou weary ?
it whispers ''rest up there, forever" Art thou
weighed down with unmcritcd ignominy? "kings
and priests in that holy home" Art thou poor?
'thc very street before thy mansion shall be gold. ."
Art thou friendlcss? "thc angels shall be thy
companions and God thy friend and father"
Is religion beautiful? We answer, all is dcs-
olalion and deformity where religion is not.

Gil at its meeting on Monday pronoun-
ced the Wharf boat nuisance, and
the contract forfeited-This was a
very easy thing to do, but what does

feited. It is we'll known that the
wreck of the wharf boat now at the
landing, was good and substantial

that the board Of Select'.,en is concern
ing itself about lighting the streets of
Of this city.
This is a great city, and the only
way we can account for its not being
lit up with "gass''is because OF the
probability of the Drummond or the
Electric method superceeding the
Common Olefnt. The use Of lard
oil will perhaps only be temporary, but
it may save some of the very best men
in the community from Quitting their

The coffee houses cannot be expected
to keep man clear Of dangcr.-And

mouths in trembling expectation of

to notice The demise by accident of
some very valuable man to the commu-

with the craft in this State, which
are operating directly against the

benefit. The object Of the movers in
this matter, is principally to bring
about unity Of the press-ao far At
least as it is possible to do 50 in or

itself from rapidly increasing abuses
now operating against the independence

The meeting in July viii have for its
object, the permanent amity Of the
printers and publishers in this State,
with fixed pnual meetings to convene
at different place each year in order
that the craft may be brought together
in the bands Of unity and fraternity.
The powerful argument for this
move, after which there is none other
lis pecuniary benefit. At the pre-
sent writing, it is well know that many
things are done prejudical to the inter-
est, and consequently to the standing
and influence Of the craft, because it
is divided against itself; and the only
thing in the way to unity is politics.
Does it follow my brethren, that be.
cause we are divided on the subject Of
politics, Tor rather who shall be in)
that we should be divided against enc
another, in a pecuniary point Of view,
and thus leave ourselves at the mercy
of demagogues? Not at all. We

HOPELESS and "prostituted'' servitude

recovery. Let us be united-let u'
meet and organize-and put ourselves
in an attitude to make battle whel
our rights are invaded by either rat,
