apprentices, but you may add to them to any

to open transits as well as to cultivate the
fertile wastes Of tropical America. This
cheap system Of labor will enable you to un-
dersell your neighbors in our markets, while
the Interchange will foster Frence ,nanufact-

say this on the authority of the best names

declares they must now pass under the yoke
Of the Haytien negroes. Her Journals say
that an independent State with American

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Slidell, reported
inaad'ble from the gallery, was for an appro-
priation to facilitate the acquisition Of Cuba
by legislation. The bill says that, whereas
Cuoa geographically possesses the large and
annually increasing trade, foreign and coast
wise. Of the Mississippi Valley. Whereas
the island in it's present colonial condition
must continue q source Of injury and an

between Spain and the U. S. by the az

commerce and citizens, for which tardv re-.

on Spain. And whereas, in the opinion Of
Congress, and in accordance with the views
of the President as the last means Of settl;no
existing, and removing future difficulties,
it is expedient that negotiations for the pur:
chase of the Island should he renewed.
Therefore, be it enacted de-, that $50

Of one thousand dollars each, .redcemable in

Hymn Of the Mnrsellaisc.

The Marsellaise was inspired by genius,
patriotism, beauty, youth and champagne.
Robert de Isle was an officer Of the garri-
son at Strasbourg, and native Of Mt.
Jura, was an unknown poet and composer.
lilo had pleasant friend, named Deitrick.
whose wife and daughter were the only
critics and admirers Of the soldier poets
songs. One night he was at supper with
his friends family ard they had only coarse
bread aad slices of ham. D,itrick, looking
sorrowful at De Lislc said
"Plenty is not our feast, but we have
the courage OF the soldiers heart have
still one bottle left in the cellar-bring it
my daughter, and let us drink to liberty
and our country s...
The young girl brought the bottle il was
soon exhausted, and Dc Iisle went stagRer-
ing to bed lie could not sleep for the cold,
but his heart was WARM and full Of the beat
ings Of Genius and patriotism: He took a
small clavicord and tried to compose song,
Sometimes the words were composed first,
sometimes the air. Directly he fell asleep
over his instrument, and waking at day
light wrote down what he had conceived
during tho dcliriun Of the night. Then he

Two months afterwards De:trick went to
the scaffold, listening to the self.same music
composed under his own roof, and by the
inspiration Of his last hottie of wine. The
people sang it everywhere it few from city
to city; to every public orchestra. Mar.
scllaisc adopted the song ut the opening and
close Of its clubs--hence the name " Hymn
Of the Marscllaise;' thence it spread all over
France. They sung it in their houses. in
public assemblies, and in the stormy street
convocation. De Isles mother heard it
and said to her son: ''s<','
