Capt. Parks new steamboat, the "Naw-
Beck" made its appearance at our wharf on
Sunday morning last. From cursory glance
at this new steamer we conclude that it fully
comes up to the standard represented by her
Captain. She has commodious cabin,
large and substantial engine, and is capable
of doing good freighting business during the
entire season. We have no doubt but that
she will do a large business bothin the carry
ing of freight and travel. Ionia Gaz.

DIsGRAcEFUL.-On the 3Oth ult., an elder
ly lady, named Mary Addie, died in the 4th
story of house, No. 1852 Myrtle Avenue,
Brooklyn, leaving an only daughter, who had
no means to bury her. She endeavored to
obtain assistance, but without success, until
the stencil became so great as to attract the
attention of the passers by, when the keeper
of the Dead House was directed to take the
body away. 1t was so much decomposed
that it was necessary to use shovel to get
the body in the coffin. Elk. paper.

In the same city in which the above dis
graceful occurrence transpired, prostitute
who had committed suicide was honored with
imposing obsequies,-a eulogistic sermon was
preached over her remains, and her corpse,
dressed in rich habiliments, decorated with
costly flowers, and reposing in splendid cof-
fin, was followed to the grave by multitudes
of respectable people, the majority Of them
ladies. Place these two occurrences in juxta-
position-contrast the funeral rites of the
prostitute with those of the destitute-and
what an evil lesson is inculcated-a lesson
fraught with the greatest danger to public
morality: that suffering poverty is far out
weighed, in the scale of sympathy, by harlot-
ry ending in self-murder.

FROM AN uNlNowx SOURCE,
Light was the maid in light arrayed,
For light to her was given,
From light she few, and lightly too,
She'll light again in Heaven.
No Northern light was e'er so bright
No Fight could e'er be brighter,
Her light-drawn sigh passed lightly by,
As lightas air-and lighter.
The lights divine that lightly shine,
In yonder light and skies,
Can ne'er excel the light that fell
Like lightning from her eyes.
She lightly moved by.all beloved,
A light and fairy elf,
Light was her frame, and light her name,
