Misery of Statesmen.

Propably few great philosorhic statesmen
few men, that is, who had acted intimately
in public affairs, Is well as contemplated them
From the closet, ever Quilted the stage with
ont a feeling Of profound discouragements
Whether successful or unsuccessful, as the
world would deem them, a sense of sadness
and disappointment seems to prevail over
every other sentiment. They have attained
so few of their objects-thev have fallen so
far short of their ideal--have seen so much
more Than ordinary men Of the dangers and
difficulties Of nations, and Of the vices and
meauness of public men. Not many Eng
lishmen governed so long and so well as Sir
Robert Peel, or set in such halo of blessings
and esteem; vet shortly before his death, he
confessed, that what he had seen and heard
in public life, had left upon his mind pre-
valent impression Of gloom and grief Who
ever succeeded so splendidly as Washington
Who ever enjoyed to such degree, and to
the end, the confidence aud gratitude Of his
country? Yet says Guzot, toward the
close Of his life, in the sweet and dignfed re-
tiIement Of Mount Vernon, something of las
situde and sadness hung about the mind of u
man so serenely great-a feeling, indeed,
most natural, at the termination OF life long
spent in mems concerns Power is a heavy
burden, and mankind is a hard taskmaster to
him who struggles virtuousy against their
passions and errors. Success Itself cannot
wipe out the sorrowiul impressions which
originate in the conflict, and the wearness
contracted on the scene of action is prolonged
even in the bosom.

The Peoples Anthem,
BY EBENEZER ELLIOT.

When wilt thou save the People,
Oh, God of Mercy, when'
Not kings and lords, but nations?
Not thrones and crowns, but mcnl
Flowers Of thy heart, oh God, are they,
Let them not pass like weeds away,
Their heritage a Winters day.
God save the People!
Shall crime breed crime for ever,
Strength aiding still the wrong?
Is it Thy will, oh Father
That men shall toll for Wrongi
no" say Thy mountains, Mo-! rhy SKIES
Mans couded sun shall brightly rise,
And songs ascend instead Of sighs =
God save the People
When wilt Thou save the People7
Oh God of Mercy, when?
The People, Lord, the People.
Not thrones and crowns, but men
God save the People! Thine they are,
Thy children, as the angels lair;
Save them from bondage and despair.
God save the People!

To-Morrow.

Whate'er the grief that dms the eye,
Whate'er the cause of sorrow,
We turn us to the weeping sky,
And say, oven smile to-morrown
And when from those we love we part,
From hope we comfort borrow,
And whisper to our aching heart,
Wen meet again tomorrow.
But when tomorrow comes, It's still
An image Of TO day,
Still tears cur heavy eyelids fll,
Still mourn we those away.
And when that morrow too is past
CA yesterday of sorrow)-
Hope, smiling, cheats us to the last
With visions of tomorrow!

BURNNG Nun FoR CoAL.-in company
With number of gentlemen we, on We'd
hesday last, visited the room of DR.. Thomas
Hooker, over the Cen, On Royal street, for
the purpose OF seeing mud put to n more
practical use than bespattering us at every
stride we take through The streets The idea
now ie, to turn it in place Of coal Nor is it
fiction, but fixed fact Dr. Hooker has
chemical preparation which hc mixes with
mud, as bricklayer would mix lime with
sand, and, after becoming dry, it makes Il
most excellent coal coal that can be made
and sold in this market for thirty cents per
barrel, If made by hand; or even fifteen or
twenty cents per barrel, if manufactured by
machinery.
We should not have believed this, had wA
not seen it burn ourselves. II lights easilyt
there is no offensive smell emitted but littld
smoke and bot very little dust or cindefs.---
What little cinders are left is good for clean
ing silver, brass, or Other similar metals and
the ashes make tolerabe sand paper, and il
also good for scrpbbing loora, dc. The pat
entec also assures that it will not only burnt
well in CRATES (where we saw it burning) but
in stoves, furnaces for smelling aud for max
ing steam. In fact it can be put to all the
practical uses Of wood or coal, except for the
purpose Of generating gas. OF one thing we
are satisfied, the mud burns, euits an excel
lent heat, and makes a cheerful fire. Whe@
ther the patentce can do all he says, remaina
to be oeen.--Aeo Orlcans Erponent.

PARIS LIFE.--People do not stay at home
in France, but live great part of the day out
of doors. Hence but little provision for TAX
ing comfort at home, such as is requisite in
this and other cold countries, is made. A
writer from Paris says: "A furnished room
offered you contains, Of course, the necessary
articles, more or less complete and elegant,
according to the price demanded. Perhaps
they are tiled also, and not even covered with
n carpet, except after special agreement. Tho
arrangements for supplying warmth are de-
tesabe. There is a mean little smoking fire.
place, with dimnutive androns, for the burn
ing of wood, which is very scarce, and sold
by weight. If you require it, they will give
you n fOyer m9HUaRt movable CRATE, for
burning coal, also a very small affair, and to-
tally Inadequate to warm the room. Or per-
haps Monsieur would like stove. Now
what sort of thing do they dignity with that
name, think your why, Il concern with n
marble top on which, might almost say,
you could sit all day, with what the French
would call furious fire beneath you, aud
scarcely know that there was any. In fact,
no arrangement is made for staying at home;
all is with reference to almost constant alb
sence. From the Count On the first floor, to
tne sewing Rfi, WHO hds ilcI "pH uneht uhucr
the ROOD, all are expected to be, and are nearly
the whole time absent. In fact 1t is too ex-
pensve 10 stay at home. Fuel for an even
ing will cost about two francs, and for that
the lodger can pass the time until twelve o.
clock at some theatre, where he can be warm
ed and amused at once. Or if ndisposed I'd
spend the money, he sticks cigar in his
mouth, and keeps warm by walking up and
down the Boulevards, where he finds thou
sands more engaged in the same occupation.
