Grafton, charities and prayers. The city Of
New Haven has fewer charitable societies than
any other place of its size in the Union. There

than one half the wants Of the poor.

The right kind of Preaching to
Legislators.

The Rev. Minor Raymond, in preaching the
election sermon before the Massachusetts, Legis
lature, does not fail to point ont the improprie-
ty of tmmora! men becoming LcgiSlators.-
"Some Of the grare AID reverend seigaors, -
savsa Boston editor" who heard the sermon,
must have felt little disturbed in conscience,
by such passages as the following:
An immoral man is not L consistent patriot,
and should never be entrusted with the mo-
mentous concerns Of the government.
Shall he, who is to enact or execute laws
for the protection Of life, clnbruc lis hanls in
the boA Of his brother!
Can any law Of honor, any obligation Of
high life. cxoneratc the dueii>t from the guilt
of murder? And shall mHrdercr$ walk the
senate chamber, or sit with the rulers Of the
city? Sha! he, that saith "thou shalt not
STEAL" cmbezzle the public funds, or trespass
upon private rights Shall the deJawchee be
appointed to enact or execute laws against
adultery? Shall the wine bibber be entrusted
. with the means Of public defence against the
evils Of intemperauce! Shall he teach the
people sobrety who himself lives III luxury and
INDUCES in intoxcation?
When the righteous are il authority, the
people rejoice hut when the wicked beareth
rule, the peopl" mourn
The true patriot and statesman, irrespective
of all personal consequences, keeps a steady
eye to the proper ends Of government-hc does
that, and that only, which in his conscientious
judgment is fol, the greatest good of the great
est number,
When legislative authority ~ political i1ilr

SALES AT AucTIoS.-The following cx,rsv.
ayant prices were paid for negroes sold yester.
day at auction by Messrs March g. Sharpe
One woman, plain cook and washer, and
her child, were bid off at $l,075 One wo-
man, a field hand, sed three children brought
81 ,66G. One wonlail, house servant and
child, sold for $9O5. 4 carpenter SO years of
age $1,000. Three small negroes from 7 to
l3 years Of age, were sold 1T an average of
$3.50.
These are, indeed very high prices, and
would seem to indicate that money was plenty
and bank accommodations easily obtained
But such is not the fact. So far from it, the
pressure, which has prevailed for several
months past, still continues, ana the Banks are
even more stringent in making discounts and
granting other accommodations. Cotton is
declining, Il terrific war in the East is brewing,
and yet negroes and other properly command
the most cxhorhtant prices. If the people of
this State do not give heed to the eminous
signs around them, and restrain the spirit of
speculation which is 81 rife in the land, mon.

ruptcy. Timely prccaution may even now, BY

CorroH CRor.-Mr. Stewart, a well known
cotton broker Of New York, in his circular by
the steamer which sailed for Europe last Satur-
day, has the following in relation to the esli.
mates of the cotton crop Of 1853
"Ihe receipts still continue to show such
decrease as 10 render 100000 bales quite
improbabl4--iu fact there are few who now
speak seriously Of 1.-THE general opinion, as
well as We can perceive, is 2,S00,000 bales
but should the water not rise soon in those
rivers tributary TO the Mississippi, named by
Us in our last Il considerable amount of cotton
in the upper cultivated sections will remain for
thc following season-and in that event, which
is by no means improbable, about 2,700,0 900
bales will have to answer the wants of com.
merce Ii is the impression here that the crop
is q manageable one, and although at present
there is no disposition to speculate on the

in the price Of the article, Irrespective of any
temporary dulluesS in the goods markets."

CnINA.-The following is extracted from
the Overland China Mail Of January 27:
Beyond the little news extracted from our
week ~ Issues there i, nothing real to commu-
nicate, bat among credible rumok we may
mention:
Il. That tie northern army "f tie rebels is
not making much progress, and has captured
neither the capital Of pckin nor the port OF
Iicn-tsin; SO that the reports originated in
China, and circulated by the home papers
months ago, were very premature, and DO not
seem likely to De speedily realized.
50. That the reception Of the French at Nam
kin was even less cordial than we have already
supposed, and aucurs, i'll for improved inter.
course with foreigners in the event of the re.
bells being ultimately successful
SO. That Shanghai is likely soon to be re-
taken by, or restored to, the perialists-the
latter perhaps the more probable, a conspiracy
for surrender having been recently discov.
cred, and 200 of the conspirators put to death;
but spirit ofsurrender is still alive and waiting
convenient opportunity to manifest itself and
while foreign confidence in the city rabble is
waxing faint, Tie following paragraph, copied
from the North China Herald of The 2lst of
January, shows how little deserving they are
of sympathy:
On Thursday, January -, three shots were
fired from the city walls, which fell close to
the gate Of Dr.. Lockhari's hospital There
was no attacking force Al the time, aud no APP
parent cause why these shots should be fired.
DR.. Lockhart therefore went into the city and
inquired at Lewis Office, when he was told by
"a person there that they had not fired at his
horsc, bat that the men at the battery fred at
the sick establishment, because they knew that
there were a number of mperiali>t soldiers
lying there. We since understand that an etl-
ergetic remonstrance has been made to the re-.
bel leaders in the city, who have promised to be
cautious in future.
"Io these rumors we may add the facts,
that Canton was never more quiet and -
tire r-tsPuTts TrUTn InIHa were never on a larger
scale"

but her hand moved by the spirit of the great
romance writer, and that she had no more con-
troll over what she was writing, than if she had
been spectator of its progress The doctor
sat down to peruse the manuscript, and rose
fully satisfied of the truth of the girls story.
No other mind, he declares, could produce q
work of the kind He has taken the girl into
his house, and is determined to publish this new
work at his own expense, as soon as ever it is
completed! | know not what effect such a
story as this would have in the scientific circles
of London; I can only say that in Paris the
sensation has been immense We knoo that
our dear doctor has quick feelings and a strong
imagination We knoO that he inherits these
qualities, as well as his splendid person, from
his mother; we knop he has made us run for
for many years after every kind of fen Toilet
by which he himself has been led astray and
yet here we are once more believing and hoping,
and inquiring with as much zest as if we were
not assured by experience that we are destined
to be disappointed, and the bold promises he
dispensesso freely are doomed to end in excusen for
his own crudelity. The most curious part Of
the story is certainly the exact handwriting of
the deceased author, which in the manuscript
is unmistakable, even by comparison with those
in the possession of various friends, not to be
detected in the smallest deviation.

The Gagged EAGLE-There was very large
sagle that had sen kept in cage for many
years, The owner at length concluded to give
him his liberty, and at the appointed time a
largo number of persons assembled to see him
take his flight. The door of the cage was open
cd, and the noble bird stepped to the threshold,
and after deliberately looking around on those
who were standing there, he spread his wings,
made two or three circles over their heads, and
darted directly toward the sun, and was soon
lost sight of in the distance. .e-....
The time will soon come, my dear readers
which each one of your will take your departure
from the body in which your soul is Gagged
and perhaps some of your friends will then
stand by to see you go, and bid you the long
last farewell Oh, that God would grant thai
you, like the captive eagle, may, after part
ing look at those you love, ascend heavenwart
in yoar flight and stop not till you reach th'
Throne Of God.
