HEALTH OF CoScoRplA PARIsn.-We re-
greet to say, that as the waters recede and
draw of, sickness succeeds on very many of

would seem to be teyefs and Vkiits fluxes,
and, on soihe places, obstinate scarlet te-
vers.
On "Afnorca." the estate of II. Chotard,
Esq, there has been much sickness among
the slaves. which still continues. The num-
Der Of deaths, up to Tuesday e<ening of the
present week. had been six. We scarce can
name a plantation where there is not much
sickness and some deaths. Yet all is not
owing to the maleria left by the sub-idipg
overflow; negroes are proye,tislly imprudent
in gorgng stale melons, and shoals Of fish

TIE LESSONS OF LIFE-Great calamities
teach us many beautiful lessons, and reveal
to us much we should never have seen from
the common level of life. A flood, famine,
4 conhagration, or some great desola,ion,
show us how much real goodness there is
under the surface of everyday life ; how
many generous feelings and kindly sympa-
lhies, and points of union, and practical te!-
lowship, lie below the differences of political
opinion and religious faith, and the prejudi-
ces and antagonism of party and sect shows
US that beneath all these the noblest Gle
ments of our human nature still live, and
wait only the impulse of occasion to spring
into life and action, and to discover to us
how much more there is in man to honor
and love, than the ordinary aspects of life
lead us to suppose. The world, after all, IS
better, in many things, than we take it to be.
