believed that France will not permit
the Haytiens to invade or modest the

10 BEAL propounds very grave
question to the public through us.-
He wants to know whether people
who come to town aud have animals
to stable. would rather pay tsoenty; five
cents "A feed" and have their horses
to stand in the mud, with small mig.
ger to throw cornless cobs at them, or
pay fifty cents and have them rubbed
down. and fed up as faithful beasts
should DO - If the former treatment
suits the public best, BEAL is ready to
60 into it. however. much it may be
against his feelings Of humanity for
beasts. Now, he treats all animals
put up at bis stables, as though they
were rational beings, with sufficient
disccrnment to "kick up" against i'll
usage. When corn and other poven-
der comes down from the present high
prices, then he will take down bis sign
Of -Four bits for single feed" not
til then. In the r,can time ho begs
his friends to abuse the Spectators in
the corn exchange. for the present
condition Of things.

Mother, Brothers, Sisters, and perhaps chosen companion and little ones, without realizing the blessings, or dreaming that the happy circle can be broken, until the fatal blow has been given. Why is it that we are ever prone to put far from us the thought of our own dissolution 2 This world although we may be happy in it if we wil) is surely not our abiding place. It is but for the preparatiou-the expanding of in tellectual capacity, that we may the more fully enjoy the blessings of another.
 And it is well, perhaps. for the human heart to be inured to sorrow. The fiery ordeal refnes, purifes, and humbles. We learn by enduring ourselves, to sympathize with others in misfor- tune. Our friends who have gone before us should be so many incentives to urge us onward and upward.
