EFFECTS OF LIBERTY UPON THE NEGRO.
The deleterious effects of freedom upon
the negro race are very strongly set forth
in the subjoined paragraph:
Fifty years ago Hayti was noted for its
extensive plantations of sugar, coffee, and
cotton, but they have now almost entirely
disappeared, except those of coffee, which
are much reduced. At present the Princi-
pal wealth of the Island is derived from the
forests which cover the greatest part of the
mountains-the timber consisting chiefly of
mahogany trees aud the different kinds OF
dyewoods."
If negros had possession of the Southern
States, they would not raise cotton enough
to clothe themselves, or sugar enough to
sweeten their own coffee. This would ope-
rate rather disastrously upon the commerce
of the earth.

PoETICAL.
BRILLIANTS.

Charles Mackay, in his first lecture on
National Songs after giving a sketch OF
what constitute true Poetry, and of the
influence which it exerts over a people,
read the following original song =
When song to cheer the heart of man,
Her artless wood-notes first began,
Her voice was pure, her fancy young,
And ever what she meant, she sung
With harmless mirth or feeling deep:
She made the nations smile or weep;
She loved the right, she scorned the wrong,
Oh mighty was the voice of song!
But wandering in later day,
When cities Iured her from her way,
She learned "A note was not her own,
And j. st her purity of tone;
With Fancy, no with Truth she dweIt,
And spake the thoughts she had not felt,
And guilty natures guilty hand
Became a trifer in the land.
Men wondered why their hearts no more
Obeyed her impulse as before;
Till, by their cold indifference warned
She sought the Truth that she had scorned,
And now again her tones we hear,
Majestic, earnest, and sincere;
And nations, as of old, rejoice,
And throb responsive to her voice.

TIE DOCTOR AND HIS PATIENT.

OF all the professions, trades or occupa-
lions that engage the mind of men, that of
physicians is the most diversified. In loca-
ting he has to find out the constitution of
those he is called upon to visit, for it is fire.
quently the case that success may be ow-
ing more to a deep and thorough knowledge
of the constitution Of the patient than mere
commonplace applications. AS an illustra-
ton of this, we will relate an anecdote of
one of our old physicians who. if he finds
physic will not cure tries other means as
the case may require.
DIR. G. had long been the attending ply
stefan of lady long past her teens, and af
fected with certain disorders incident to
want of occupation and the care of family.
She sends for the doctor in season and out
of season, he rushes out in $40 pace and
finds bis patient, physically perfectly we'll,
bat sad and lonely, and of course afflicted
with blues. All he can do is to administer
"tincturo" with few drops of pepper
mint, and the patient is we'll for day.
On one occasion. q cold blustrous night,
the doctor had just turned in, wrapping
himself sRugly in his blankets, with the
hope of quiet sleep, when loud rap
aroused him.
"Who is sick % inquired the doctor muir
muring.
Miss Sally Strickland, sir, she is most
dead; expect she'll die before you get there
III be along" says the doctor. exclaim-
to himself, 'dog Miss Sally, I'll try to cure
her this time"
The Doctor plods along through mud and
mire, cold and rain, studying his applica-
ton. When he arrives at the dwelling of
depressed state of mind.
Doctor" she said feebly, Il expect to
die every moment; l am very low. Can
you do anything for me ~
The doctor feels her pulse, nothing the
matter. merely wanted company. The doc
tor becomes communicative.
Miss Sally, 1 was having terrible
dream when your servant awoke me-"
"What was it - she eargerly inquired.
IL dreamed l was dead" continued the
ouu dOSSCHdIu luIO tuC IONOA IT,
gions where | met the odd Scratch who
invited me to view his dominions. The in
mates were engaged in different oecupa-
lonesome playing cards. others swindling
their neighbors; in fine all the pursuits they
followed during life, they continued there.
When he got through he proclaimed to the
four quarters of his dominions that all
should 60 to bed, for said he, Sally
Strickland will be here directly, and thsre'll
be no sleep in hell for month";"
The Doctors speedy departure was in
creased to fight by the sight of broom
stick fourishing actively in his rear, but
the remedy was effectnal.
