+ FInsr ARRIVAL Snon TnE risaMo GnousDs.
The Gloucester (Assa)T Telegraph, Of the soth,
has The following interesting intelligence hom
the fishing grounds:
The schooner Leonard Mckenzie, Captain
Deminss. arrived at this port on Sunday nom
the Bay Of 81. Lawrence. Capt ID. reports
mackcrei ~ not being very plenty, md the
vessels were not doing much.
In regard to the government vessels In the
bay, Capt. ID. informs W. that he understood
tho feet Was there, and he had seen quite .
number Of ARMED steam vessels. lie had,
however, only been boarded by ono officer,
who came from ono Of tho colonial vessels.
This officer treated him very gcntlcmanly, and
Was quite communicative. IIo inquired Of
Capt. ID. in regard 10 many OF tho Gloucester
and other vessels, and appeared to bc ~ IA
miliar with their names ~ ho was himself.
lie informed Capt. ID. that vessels having more
than two guns or muskets on board were like.
ly to be seized by the larger vessels.
Capt. DcminGs informs us that he did not
attempt to go into tho Bay Of ChAleur, but he
understood that Americans were not allowed
to enter within it's mouth. Gun bargcs were
stationed along most OF tho principal shores,
and q general espionage was established From
what he saw ard heard, Capt. ID. thinks the
officials will DO moro strict than they wcre
last season. lc understood that orders had
been given when a vessel was seized for fish
Ing within tho limits, II tho crow disputed tho
distance, tho vessel was to bo anchored and
the distance measured.
Capt. Demings also informs us that most,
if not all, OF the people ut st. Johns Island,
Cape Breton. and tho Gut Of Canso, thought
AZ hard Of the official vessels o. tho Americans
do, notwithstanding they were among those
who pctitioncd for them. They now sec their
error, and wish to have the restrictions re.
moved. Formerly, tho Americans were tho
means Of afIording them considerable business,
and were very sociablc. Nowthcy keep alooG,
and are quito cool toward them.
by driving tho Americans away, they say,
their own fisheries have been destroyed; and
unless the restrictions arc removed, aud form.
or privileges enjoyed by tho Americans re.
ncwcd, that they, tho provincisls, will soon bc
IN a starving condition, and will be obliged Ia
call on tho government for pccuniary aid.
Petitions to the government to remove tho re-
! strictions, have been circulated among them,
and arc being signed by all, and will soon tell
a different story from what has heretofore been
held up by interested parties.

~ NV. wv. %.
Almighty, selfexistcnt Godi
Great architect Of natures frame,
Angelic hosts obey thy nod,
And DEVILS tremblc at thy name.
Unnumbcrcd worlds In grandeur roll,
Unnumbered suns In splcndor shine;
or all Thy works Thou art tho Soul,
Their majesty In lost in Thine.
Ten thousand angels round Thee stand,
Ten thousand scraphs heed Thy call,
Created mind Is In Thy hand
One thought Of Thine outwcighs II all.
The boundlcss universe, SO great,
IL nothing when com pared to Thee;
Were all its spaces dcsolntc,
No ray Of Thine should cease TO be.
Were al Thy wonders multiplied
A thousand and n thousand fold,
And all ctcrnally abide,
Thy majesty were yet untold.
The mighty universe Of mind
Thee searching, ages without end,
Could not, with all It's powers combined,
Thy first perfection comprehend.
Etornity Is Thy vast home
No limits bound its ils;ning walls
Immensely Is It's high dome,
And Thou-thc glory Of its halls.
Thy wisdom, justice, truth and grace
Thy holiness and power and love,
Arc like duration boundless, space
All depths below, all heights above.
DC Thou, great God! my theme of thought
D! raise my soaring mind to Thee;
May all things else be quite forgot,
Or IN subordination he.
My vast capacities of heart
With Thy Overwhelming ~fullncss al;
Bid every cursed god depart,
And bow my being to Thy will.
My body as Thy temple own;

And * IN Heaven, "Thy will DO DONE"
And all ~disloyalty BIZ slain.
BE Thou my strength, my joy, my hope,

With confidence may | look up
And claim tho riches of Thy grace.
o! bo my portion aud my all,
While wandering DER this gloomy clod;
When to Thy bosom Thou dost call,

placed In the Same prcdsssmcnt ns our neigh.
Dor. Our exchanges arc generally from two
to three weeks reaching MS, when they really
ought not to DO more than three days. Where

ccrtes 1t IL, the mail service In Western Texas
il ono of tho greatest nuisafccs of tho day.
During the winter season we nrc entitled to
two mails per week from New Orlcans-in the

stances, VIC would be moro than satisfied 10
receive that one, could we depend upon IL with
amy degree of certainty. Nor arc we the only
sufferers, Our subscribers share pretty much
the sam fate, MS We have been informed by
one residing on Peach Creek, in not getting
his papers after they arc mailed at this office.
We knoo tho fault is not with us nor with our
postmaster. AS our contemporary very Justly
remarks, "thcrc Is n great deal of room for a
mail agent in Western Texas just now and
we hope tho press, in lieu thereof will mite
in fc%ricting out tho cause of such negligence.

Be Yourself.

Insist on YOURSELF never initiate
Your own gilt you can present every mo-.
ment with the cumulative force Of a
whole LIES cultivation; but ofthe adopt.
ed talent of another, you have only an
eN,cmporaneous, half possession. That
which each can do best, none but his
Maker can teach him: No man yet
knows what it is, nor can, ill that per.
son has exhibited it. Where is the mas.
ter who could have taught Shakespeare!
v here is the master who could have in.
stfuctcd Franklin or Washington, or
Bacon, or Newton Every great man
is unique. The Sciplonsm OF Scipio
is precisely that part he could moi bor'
row. Shakespeare will never be made
by the study Of Shakespeare. Do that
which is assigned you, and you cannot
hope TOO much or dare too much. There
is ot this moment for you an utterance
brave aud grand as that OF the colossal
chiscl of Phidias, or ,rowel Of the Esyp.
tions, or the pen Of Moses, or Dante, but
different from all these.-Emersom.
