HOPE @L "
There is harp in every heart, -ra-z--a.H .
And Hope awakes its strain
While Pity sings her pensive part
And joins the soft refrain
Sweet measures now in trembling notes,
Float Ger the sorrowing soul,
As the Auroras pennon floats
Up from the darkened Pole.
The minstrel sings of happier hours,
OF smiles now hid in tears
vi singing brooks-of wayside flowers,
The joys OF coming years.
If Love provokes the gentle strain,
How winning is the lay
Tomorrow she will smile again,
Atonement for to-day.
If absent ones are on the deep,
While tempests rend the air,
o: then her touch with holder sweep
browns the dull dronc of care
And when the close of life is near,
She shares the souls distress,
Her notes fall latest on the ear,
And promise still to bless
n writer in the Home Journal describes a cou-
Die who were ''not unequally yoked together"
In short, the man was very poor
And what was worse, supremacy lazy;
a kind of trouble hard to cure,
But such as rarely drives one crazy.
His wife was just his proper match,
An idle gossip, and slattcrn;
Whose frock, with time and patch,
Knew nevermOre its native pattern.
They lived, as 'twere, from hand to mouth
She dwelling over pots and kettles;
lie in a constant state Of drought
And both in frequent want of victuas.

NEwSPAPERs.-A MAN, says Doctor Franklin
eats up pound of sugar, and the pleasure he has
enjoyed is ended, but the information he gets
from newspaper is treasured up in the mind TO be
used whenever occasion inclination calls for it.
4 newspaper is not the wisdom of man, or two
men, it is the wisdom of the age-ofpast ages, too
\ family without newspaper is always half an age
behind the times in general information; besides,
thew never think much, nor find much to think
about And there are the little ones growing up
in Ignorance, without a taste for reading. Besides
all these evils, there's the wife, who, when her
work is DONE has to sit down with her hands in her
lap, and nothing to amuSe her mind from the tolls
and cares of the domestic circle Who would be
without a newspaper?

denounced slavery, denounced the South and said that
her people ignorant than those of the free
States, and cited Virginia in proof of his asseron-he
denounced the Journal of Commerce and suppose
entertained similar hatred for all ether national papers
at the North. For such language and his offensive,
neering manner he very properly ordered out of Il
GentieInans Office and afterwards waited on by re-
Spectacle portion OF citizens and notified to leave
IN hours or take the consequences. But he protested
Ills innocence strongly and lied to the committee

Mr. Stedman has practical knowledge of the printing
business he will find (if experience has not al
ready convinced him. that publishing newspapers is
not easy suppose. The dea too of printing
newspaper in small village is preposterOus. 1t is
not likely there is newspaper in the State that
could live without the advertising and job work afford

newspaper to succeed in village with small popu-

the publication of newspapers in small villages and
