IMPRISONMENT ron DEBr.--The late Legsla-
ture Of Massachusetts, did not actually abolish
imprisonment for debt, but it did what is nearly
the same thing. Among the laws passed, IL Is
stated, was homestead exemption, which secures
to every one (who first get it an estate of the
value of $500. Another law exempts personal
property Of the value Of $500 from seizure. A
third secures a mans implements or tools from
the law clutch, and this is supposed TO cover the
libraries Of lawyers and scholars, as well as the
AIDES and squares and planes Of carpenters. The
trustee process for all sums under $50 has also
been abolished. Some other measures of a kind
red character was passed.

Atrocious Attempt TO Throw Train OF
the Track OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Raj

An infamous attempt at wholesale murder,
similar to that which partially succeeded on the
Western Railroad a few days since, was made on
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad on Tuesday
night last. The Wheeling Enteligeneer Of FRI
day says:
On Tuesday night heavy piece Of timber was
fastened to the track OF the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, at the heavy grade near ninety mile
post, between Martinsburg and Harper's Ferry.
The freight train, which reaches that point
little after o'clock in the morning, but a short
time in advance of the Express train, ran upon
the timber and the locomotive was thrown from
the track and badly broken. The engineer and
fireman narrowly escaped with their lives by
jumping from the locomotive, after they had re-
versed IL, and before il struck the timber.

A CALM AT SEA.

Down dropt the breeze, the sails dropt down,
Twas sad as sad could be; .
And we did speak only 10 break
The silence ofthe seal
All in hot and copper sky,
The bloody sun at noon
Right up above the mast did stand,
No bigger than the moon.
Day after day, day after day
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as painted ship
Upon painted ocean. ICoLsridge.

Hark! through Natures vast cathedral
Blended echoes ever rise,
Swelling in mighty anthem
To its over-arching skies
Every bird that sings in summer,
Every honey-ladened bee,
Every squirrel in the forest,
Every cricket on the tree!
Every housekeeping fountain,
Every softly murnuring ril,
Every dark and foaming torrent,
Every water guided mill.
Every rain-drop on the house-top,
Every beetles noisy drone,
Every football on the pavement,
Wakes an echo of its own.
Sobs of woe and songs of gladness,
Each responsive echoes find;
Words of love and words of anger,
Leave their echoes far behind.
Every great and noble action
Is re-echoed DER and DER;
Life itself is but an echo
OF the lives that were before.

TO LOVERS OF THE FRENCH LANGUAGE.
TINE Advertiser, a Frenchman and grad

TTNHE advertiser, Frenchman and grad
II uate of the Polytechnic School OF Paris,
specially offers his services teacher OF his
native tongue to Schools, Glasses. and Private
Pupils of this city and vicinity. The system he
follows 10 facilitate the acquisition OF The French
Language, unes in due proportion theory and
practice; by which avoided the difficulties the
student often meets with in pursuing one OF the
many theoretical grammars, not sufficiently show
ing the idiomatical part Of the language prac-
teal one, in which the necessary grammatical
rules, if not entirely, al least far too much, are
neglected. In following these theoretical gram
mars, the student must have experienced that
| after having devoted long time TO the mere me-
morlzing OF sentences, he find himself in posses
sion of number OF set phrases, valuable il is
true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the
slightest deviation must lead him into unknown
regions.
The advertiser feels confident in the assertion
that the pupil, in adopting his method, may with
little effort after a course OF torty-eg CHR lessons,
understand and speak the French, and find the
sistance of teacher not necessary in the further
prosecution Of the studies of that language.
instruction in Pencil Drawing, Pastel Painting,
and Penmansbip, can also be had from the adver-
tiser.

Eighteen more votes would make a majority
of the House. II is not impossible, nor very inn
probable, that this number will be found, (among
the l34 members not included in the above calcula-
tion,) who will oppose repeal, although some of
them voted against the bill on its passage. In
other words, it is by means certain that bill
to repeal the Nebraska law can pass the House.
But if it should, it will be defeated by large
majority in the Senate. And before new Con-
