his life's history. On Christmas day be

On the 28lh Of January, Mr.. Prentissl
the U s Mail Agent, arrested Albangh. h.up
on charge of robbing the mail. He was
taken to Cleveland, tried, convicted ant
sentenced before the United States Court
and upon reaching Cardingtou, on his way
to the penitentiary, the young wife came
abord the cars to bid farewell to her con
Wet husband. The meeting was pain

The following beautiful "Song Of the
Siren " savors strongly of orientialism
vet it is very fine:
Come to my azure grottO deep,
Beneath the seas blue wave,
Where, Ger the silvered shelly beach,
The whispering waters lave;
IT'S hung with jewels brighter far
Than mortal e'er has seen;
Ay, brighter than the vesper star.
When glowing clear at cen;
The portals hung with pearls more rare,
And Jewels far more grand
Than e'er bedecked brides dark hair,
Or jeWelled her willing hand.
Come, on sea weed couch lie down.
Fit for the proudest king.
And softer. too. than the sottest down
Plucked from the sea birds wing,
a sea pymph fair shall guard thy rest.
Attend thee as thy slave;
0 come and be my welcome guest,
Beneath the blue sea wave.

THE Re OPESISG OF THE SLAVE TRADR
The news thst the slave trade has actu>
alv been opened between the cost OF Atri-
"a and the shores Of the State OF Mississip.
pi, is not received precisely as matter Of
fact. and SO far as il is received as among
the things that are, is not greeted with
universal satisfaction in the South. The
Nashville Patriot says ofthe Delta's arti-
Gle. which we printed yesterday.
We very much question the truth OF the
Celta's information as to the facts; we have
no thought that the trade is so extended
as these statements would indicate. IL
NAV be possible that some Of our shrewd
sea .iaring Yankee friends Of the North.
have run in small cargo Of Africans. into
the ports of Mississippi. and availed them
selves Of the advantages of Pearl river for
distribution; hut it is impossible for us TO
hel;eye that such commerce is either reg
ular or common. We hope never to see
the South or any portion oF is. engaged in
or uphoIding others engaged in business
which is denounced a, piracy by the high
est law Of the land. While the South con
tinues part of the Union. lei her obey the
the constitution and laws OF the Union. II
is the only mole by which she can stay in
the Union with honor. and il is the only
mode by which she can get out the Union
with honor.

THE FRENCH ATTACKS UPoE ENcLASD,
The fiery defamation Of the French
Army. which recently appeared in the
Paris Monitsur. embraced many insulting
epithets Sud threats. Some Of them asked
for the privilege OF marching into England
TO h7nt out the savsgeswho had conspired
agsidst the peace Of France. 1t is the more
remarkabls that such expressions should
have been given TO the public through the
Moniteur, inasmuch as not line appears
in that paper until il has passed through
the Office Of the Minister Of State. Not
only does the Minister or his chief know
the contents OF each days issue. hlt Nj.
Pancoueke, the Publisher. end the two
principsl editors, inspect the matter before
it goes to lbe Ministers bureau. Moreover
these offens 7e army addresses contained
asterisks here and there. showing that the
ceusors Of the Journal had looked over them
and expunged sentences. no doubt still
more offensive TO England than those al
lowed to remain. We are 10 understand
from all this. that the insults were intend .
ed. and that the apology or expressions oi
regret was an after thought. and induced
bv the necessities Of the case.

HORSES AND MUIEs.-These valuable ami
mails are subject to almost as many diseases
and accidents as human beings; and thousands
are lost every year, either for the want Of
their owners knowing how to treat them, or
from using interior articles. This is peculiar
ly the case in regard to such diseases as spav-
in, springhalt poll evil, and all such diseases
as arise from sprains, bruises, harness gals,
&c. All these diseases are readily durable by
the use of some penetrating liniment, which
is absorbed by the pores of the skin, and at
once drives off the bad humors that feed and
keep up the disease. Among all the Lini-
ments ever invented, none possess the pene-
trative and diffusive principle to such de-
gree as DR.. BRAGG's ARCTIC LINIMENT. Pro-
prietors of omnibus routes, livery stables and
canal lines, will find the Arctic Liniment an
invaluable remedy, peculiarly fitted for their
use.

The London homeopathic Hospital.

The illustrated London Necs, of May 1st.,
says public dinner in aid of this charity was
given at Willis rooms on the 2Ist of April
last, when the Duke of Wellington presided.
His Grace was supported by the Duke of
Beaufort. Viscount Lismore, Viscount NAL
don, Lord Rokeby, Lord Grey de Wilton,
Lord Cosmo Russell, the Hon. Z. Grosvenor.
Mr.. Truman, NJ. p, Major Blake, Capt, Fish
bourne, r. n, Mr.. Pritchard, Mr.. Sheriff Ruth
erford DIR. Quinn. Dr. Russell, and about $50
other gentlemen known as supporters and prac-
titioners of homeopathy. Lord ROkeby and
Capt. Fishbourne, alluded to tn ir experience
of the benefits personally derived by them
from homeopathy during their seryicesin the
Niger expedition and in the Crimea. From
the statement of the chairman, it appeared
that the institution was opened in 1850, at a
house rented for that purpose in Golden
Square During its existence the hospital
had, at an average expenditure Of 81 900 a
year. afforded relief to 5000 sick persons, of
whom nearly I.2O0 were in-patients. The
returns of treatment were stated to prove the
advantages of homeopathy. Thus, while
according to the Registrar-General the rate
of mortality in the allopathic metropolitan is
6 per cent. the deaths in the Homeopathic
hospital, including those from cholera, have
not exceeded As per cent.
