A HINT TO CONSTANTINE PEoPLE.-The ed- itor of tie Portland Argus, who is travelling at the South, writes home to this effect :-- My recent observations--as did those made years ago in Itay--conflm me in the opinion that it is always best for sick people, especial F those upon whom consumption has firmly fixed it's fatal tangs, to stay at home. To l seek relief in mder climate, amongst stran- gers, is the greatest possible mistake. The amount of discomfort, desoation and mental anguish which such au invalid has to go thro,'
 ere his exit from earth, (which his journey and
 inevitable exposure always hasten,) is indeed painful to contemplate. To Italy and to the
 Southern parts of the United States confirm
 ed consumptives resort to escape the effects of cold at their own homes A greater error
 cannot be made ana the melancholy instan- ces of this which it has chanced me to witpess, both in our own country and abroad, induce
 me to give this warning. I saw half dozen Americans in Naples during the winter of
 1850, aud 1 saw several in New Orleans while sojourning there, whose hopeless and forlorll, away-from-home condition made my heart | ache. At home, with family and friends, they | might have been comparatively comfortable, even in the coldest parts of New England ard
 Canada. Of course, do not intend what I
 have'sad to apply to the cases of those who
 simply have delicate constitutions, which rig
 orous or rrotracted cold may be too trying
 for, and may tend to produce disease for
 those do and will find milder climate bencfi- cial 5eE sr 5aFFesti

IA NEW WAY OF PAYING SUB-
 SCRIPTTONS

A correspondent gives the following anus ing account of the way farmer was taught how cheaply he could take the papers. The lesson is worth pondering by a good many men we " wot of": t# t3
 f You have hens at home of course. Well, will send you my paper one year for the pro- ceeds of single hen for one season, merely tie proceeds. It seems preposterous to imagine the products of single hen will pay the sub scrptou perhaps it won't, but I make the offer" [3
 Done," exclaimed farmer B. "I agree to it," and appealed to me as a witness to the fact.
 The farmer went away apparently much ela- ted with the conquest, and the editor went on his way rejoicing
 Time rolled around, and the world revolved on its axis, and the sun moved in its orbit just as it formerly did, the farmer received his paper regularly, and regaled himself with the inform. ation from it. He not only knew the affairs of his own country, but became conversant upon the leading topics of the day, and the political and financial rcvnlsons of the times His children delighted too, in perusipg the contents oi their weekly visitor In short, he said, Che was surprised at thev,progress in himself and family in general information"

 " How do you do 7" Mir. B., said the editor, extending his hand and his countenance lit up with bland smile take chair, sir and be seattd fine weather we have.'
 Y" Yes, sir, quite fine indeed" answered tie farmer, shaking the preferred "paw" of the editor, and then short silence ensued, during u,I; nh ,b. Ir, H. aid forward, twrling his thumbs obstractedly, al'd spit proi,sely. Starting up quickly, he said, addressing the editor .el
 |" Mir. D. have brought you the proceeds of that hen @
 It was amusing 10 see the peculiar express ion of the editor as he followed the farmer down to the wagon. 1 could hardly keep my risiples down.
 When at the wagon, the farmer commenced hahding over to the editor the products of tie hen, which on being counted, amounted to eighteen bullets, worth shilling each, and a number of dozen of eggs, making in the aggrc- gate, at the least calculation, $2 50, one dol-' lar more than the price of the paper.
 No need" said he, of men not taking a family newspaper, and paying for it, too. I don't miss this from my roost, yet have paid for a years subs cription, and dollar over. All folly, sir; there is no man but can take paper it's charity, sir /; charity, you know, commences at lome.'
 But, sir" resumed the editor, I will pay for what is over the subscription. did not intend this as means of profit, but rather to convince you. 1 will pay yon for"
 {" Not bit of it, sir bargains bargain, and I am already repaid, sir--doubly paid, sir, and whenever neighbor makes the complaint I did, will relate to him the hen story. Good day, gentlemen"

 Peace, peace, saith He Christ, closely with my life inwreathing- Infinite love for me. Joys, brightest in our eyes that sparkle, Glisten through tears Hopes often at the noon-tide darkle, Sorrow corIodes our years. Death never shades thy radiant glory, Home of my heart Sighs never mar thy blissful story, Who in thy scenes have part.
 Oh! my soul is faint with longing, Now to be gone;
 Where holy ones are singing, thronging, Round about Messiahs throne.

..----...- 4 BALLAD
 TrrNE-Soldier's Return, The winter sun was shining pale Upon the icy river, And in the keen and cutting gale, The birds began to shiver To distant isles the sea-gulls flew, So wildly, hoarsely screaming; While darker Oceans waters grew, Save where with white foam gleaming. But Winters gloom to childhood's eye Hath nought of dreary sadness; Though murky be the frowning sky;.. 2 It laughs in sportive gladness. And children love to join in play, Swift down the hill side sliding, Or; feeter than the winds, away, On skates OCT rivers gliding. And in the fulncss of their joy, They never dream of danger; And vert not thou, when once boy, To care and fear stranger? One morning, when the silent bay "ds ueHsely iroZeu over CTis truth inspires my simple lay, As you will soon discovery band of little urchins bright, With tiny feet were straying Along the beach, the dazzling sight Of that ice-plain surveying. For OCT it's polished mirror glanced The beams, gaily shining; And so for very joy, they danced, No cause of dread dvining. So out upon the treacherous plain, With careless steps they wandered None thought their homeward course again They ever would have pondered. For sec ! ah !! see! the ice is rent, And like a raft is floating What means that cry, that loud lament parents fondly doating? They sec their children home away, The pillows round them roaring, What arm their dangerous course could stay Oh !y Fas there no restoring? Thanks be to Heaven ! a beaming ray Of Hope is shining OCT them; For, To a boat is in the bay, And now, 'tis just before them. Who is that noble boatman bold That bra yes the mudd' ming surges? With sturdy oar, and stalwart hold, His course he onward urges. 'Tis HAsLEM!<, To his saving arms Are strongly clasped around them! Joy, frantic joy succeeds alarms; Deliverance now hath found them Around that hero's noble form, Their little arms are twining; They love him with an ardor warm, That ne CT shall know declining. Their mothers joy, their fathers pride, Full twenty four in number, Thus rescued from the raging tide,- Not left beneath to slumbcr. ,.... Oh what the blood-stained warrior fame, And what his fading glory, Compared to HAsLEM's deathless name, That gilds brighter story? A
