The Empire Eayti.

The papers of Hayti make strong
appeal to the colored population of
America to make their home on that
island. The followingis from one of
their leading papers:
''Hayti will soon regain her ancient
splendor. This marvellous soil that
orr fathers, blessed by God. conquer
ed for Us, will soon yield to US the
wealth now hidden in its bosom. Let
our black and yellow brethren, scatter
ed through the Antilles, and in North
and South America, hasten to coop
crate with us in restoring the glory of
the Republic. Hayti is the common
country of the black race. Our ances-
tors, in taking possession of it, were
careful to announce in the Constitution
that they published, that all the de-
scendants Of Africans, and Of the III
habitants Of the West Indies, belong
by right to the Haytian family. The
idea was grand and generous.
''Listen then, all you negroes and
mulatoes, who in the vast continent of
America, suffer from the prejudices of
caste! The Republic calls you; she
invites you to bring to her your arms
and your minds. The regenerating
work that she undertakes interests all
colored people and their descendants,
no matter what their origin, Or where
there place Of birth.
"Hayti, regaining her former posi-
ton, retaking her ancient sceptre as
Queen Of the Antilles, will be formal
denial, most eloquent peremptory,
against those detractors Of our race
who contest our desire or ability to at
tain q high degree.

Dupont. The boring was commenced
from the bottom Of one Of the wells of
the mill, and continued to the depth Of
seventy-six feet, the diameter Of the
bore being five inches. At this point
the bore was reduced to three inches
in diameter, and continued to It's pres
ent depth, two thousand and eighty-six
feet. The first water which reached
the surface was found at depth Of enc
thousand six hundred and ninety-Seven
feet from the surface, rising with con-
siderable force, but not in sufficient
quantity for the purposes intended,
The well discharges water at the rate
Of about two hundred and twenty-seyen
gallons per minute, and with a force
sufficient to throw an inch stream from
sixty TO ninety feet in height. The wa
ter rising in pipes, finds its level one
hundred and seventy feet above the

The water is very strongly mineral,
and is already shipped to Boston, New

PRAYING FOR HIS Pa0TESDER.-TFe G
have no intention Of making fan Of Sc
liouS matters IN telling the following
story; we merely relate q fact:
There is rnIe at Oberlin College
that no student shall board at any house
where prayers are not made regularly
every day. A certain man fitted up
boarding house, and filed it with board
ers, but forgot, until the eleventh hour,
the prayer proyiSo. Not being pray
inc man himself, he looked around for
one who was. At length he found one
a meek young man from Trumbull
county, who agreed to pay for his board
in PRAYING. For awhile all went smooth
", but the boarding master furnished
his table so poorly that the boardlers be-
gan to grumble and to leave, and the
other morning the praying boardcr ac-
tualIy ''struck.' Something like the
following dialogue occurred at the table:
Landlord-Will you pray, Mr.. Mild !?
Mild-No sir, will not.
Why not, Mr.. Mild?
It don't pay, sir. | can't pray on
such victuals as these. And unless you
bind yourself in writing to set a better
table than you have for the last three
weeks, nary another prayer do you get
out Of me!

LOSDoS LANCET AND TIE BEARD
The following singular letter appears
in the London Lancet:
'tAS q qualified surgeon, | beg to ap-
peal briefly to yourself and your read
ers against an extraordinary custom to
which we Eaglishmen are prone, viz:
that of shaving. After a residence
abroad, where Of course, [ allowed my
beard to grow as nature intended it, I
returned to my native land, and, anx-
ious to do in Rome as Romans do, at
once had recourse to my long-neglected
razor. A severe cough and continued
nuralgia have been the result. Smart
ing under anguish almost intolerable, |
wish to know if any Of your readers
can assign a scientific or even plausible
reason why the practice should contin-
ne. It was first adopted by the ma
ton under the reign Of the most lieen-
tious and effeminate Of our kings. The
beard has been worn by poets, philoso-
piers, and diyines, (uen OF whom the
world Is not worthy.) It is more than
ordinarily required In our variable
climate, and [ have yet to learn a val
id reason for the disfavor with which #
is regarded at the present day.

each, without the drawback Of either.
This route was never travelled until me
and my wife passed over it; it is much
better and n1uci, nearer. 1t turns
neither to the right Or the left, but
goes straight along; right to the mines;
and furnishes an abundance Of grass,
wood, and water. So nutriciouS is the
grass that when me and my wife got
here, our cattle were fSbutter fat" st
