SArAN's MARKS IN SwINE.-A few
days ago in going into my back yard,
where freshly killed pig had been hung
up, man whom knew was curious in
such matters, said, "Thore now, there's
the mark that Satan made iu the herd of
swine before they ran down the cliffs into
the sea-" pointing to five dark marks on
the skin Of the inside of each foreleg On
my questioning him he assured me he had
never seen pig without them. q have
since looked at five and they had the
same.) And he said the tradition was
that all swine had them ever since the
casting out Of the devils which destroyed
the herd in the sea. My queries are,
does the mark always exist? How do
anatomists account for ite

Dreamily upon the bay, :.

Like soft hands upon me lay.
All around were lotus blossoms,
Swayed by every passing gale,
And cool winds from woods of balsam
Filled each broad and snowy sail.
In this sweet bay of calm waters
My souls pinnace was aioat,
Idling, idling, near life's breakers,
Foolish, helpless little boat
Till n coming storm aroused me
With its frantic rush and roar,
And / found the rudder useless
Which toyed with heretofore.
But whom close the storm came bowling,
sent forth the imploring cry
To the Head Of all earths naves,
"IIelp, Great Captain, or dep

Came aboard my trembling bark,

Safely stcercd my little ark.

Into life's great roaring tide

That might in safety ride,
And now I'm sailing, sailing, sailing

With brave bands of earnest workers,
Seeking truth where'er II be.

Than to drift upon those waters
Where whole hosts have dream'd and died.

Are Mechanics Nobody?

So many persons think, or at least seem to
think, from the manner in which they are
treated by certain persons who think them
selves some6ody-and most of those who put
on these snobish airs have sprung from the
loins of a mechanic themselves. We heard
of a female twas she a lady p the other day,
in this self same aristocratic (bah , little Raj
eigh, who took her husband severely to task
for walking in the street by the side of a me
ch0nici Now, her husband is a mechanic
who has risen a little in the world, and her
father and grandfather were both mechanics!
| And an honor to themselves and the noble
class to which they belonged.
But this degenerate daughter of a worthy
mechanic thinks mechanics are nobody, does
she? See that splendid mansion embowered
in trees and splendid shrubbery, with gray
elled walks and every thing around betoken-
ing elegance and wealth. It looks a little
heaven. Whose home is this That is the
former residence of General Spendall, a mar
possessed of every attainment constituting
the hospitable Southern gentleman. We
were at a gay assemblage there once. The
old gentleman was there in all his glory, sur
rounded by his costly wines, brandies, ant
the beauty and fashion of the n~eighborhood
and his accomplished lady did the honors
with the grace and dignity of a Queen. Th'
daughters were radiant in beauty and costly
finery; and the sons were splendid fellows
with all the imperiousness of the Car O
Russia.
Where are they now? The old man is in
Texas, with his care-worn wife and the rem
nant of his shattered health. The SON.
brought up in idleness and dissipation, reduced
the family to poverty and themselves to deep
est degradation. Only one daughter remains
and she married a mechanic sensible girl,
who has made a fortune, and is able to sootI
the declining years of his wife's parents, nov
reduced to dependence.
Well, who lives in the splendid mansion
now? Mr.. Jackplane, the mechanic that bull
it. He bought out the plantation, house AM
furniture, negroes and all-and now has son
are promising to do by him Just as Spendalr
did by the old General. This and all sucl
instances prove the folly of parents wearing
out their lives to heap up riches for thei
children.

The Family Paper.

Do parents sufficiently estimate the value
Of good family paper? Most families would
not allow a doubtful or pernicious book to lie
upon their tables, or be placed within reach
of their children. Are they as careful with
regard to the weekly or monthly paper? We
think not. And yet the latter is a more po-
tent engine than the former for veal or woe.
Books are not always read; a live paper al
ways is. Books are popular when new, so
is the paper, which is new every week. AS
a means of educating the masses, the press OF
our country has more to do than the book
establishments. The variety which any good
periodical. presents, suits it to all tastes and
is more or less fresh at all times. We look
upon the moral, literary, and religious news
papers of our country, as educational engines
of power, which should be well managed, anC
watched with the vigilant eye of the mora
community.
We would not recommend an indiscrimi
nate reading of every good paper or period
cal The regular systematical perusal of one
and the proper digestion gifts contents, is ia
more beneficial than the superficial mixture
up reading of half a score. Select a fey
which shall meet the varied wants of tn
household, then profit by what is read, an
the everyday knowledge thus received, will
in the course of a few years, be found Q f.mol
praCtIcaI VaIue, UnaII an rne vo1umes winch
the mean time have been devoured. The /
cal paper, with the religious and polite
ones of your choice, and the Spirit Of the Ag
will constitute a quartette of reading matte
which will make their influence felt when
ter years shall have more fully developed tt
now youthful man. A good paper is indi
pensable in any well ordered family, and tt
best only should be patronized.

Fearful Maritime Drama,
MASSACRE OF $50 MEN

The Courier des Etats Unis gfves a long
statement of the loss of tie ship Saint Paul.
and the massacre of three hundred and thir-
ty persons on board, both sailors and passen-
gers. The news was received by the last Euro
pean mails.
The Saint Paul, Captain Pinard, Is a vessel
of $40 tons burthen, belongs to the house OF
Marion & Co.. of Havre, and was making at
the time of her loss, a voyage from China To
Australia, with a load of Chinese enfgrants-
1t was on one of the numerous isles of Louis-
Jade Archipelago that the vessel was lost
The Louisiade Archipelago is an extensive
group of islands in the South Pacific, COM
prised between the parallels of 10 40 and II
40 south latitude, and the meridians of 15I
and 154 80 east longitude.
The wreck took place the 18th Of Septem-
Der but the passengers escaped from this
peril, and an English vessel was hailed. 1t
was too small to carry away all the unfortu-
mates, and three hundred and thirty were
left till word was taken to Sydney and anoth-
er vessel sent to their relief. This relief ex-
petition arrived at the place in December or
JAM, and found of three hundred and thir-
ty individuals, but one-a Chinaman-had
been saved, all the others having been mas
sacredb by the savages, amid the most fright
full fortunes. These are the particulars given.
This statement in the Courier is fortified
by letters from Captain Pinard of the Saint
Paul, informing the owner of these facts, and
may therefore, we suppose, be considered reli-
able.

What Shall this Man do?

Amid all the countless millions of mankind.
there are perhaps no two exactly alike. How
ever much they may resemble each other in
form and appearance, yet to an intimate ae-
quaintance there is a manifest difference
And this is true of the intellectual powers in
all their various developments. Some quick
ly mature, while others are of a much slower
growth. We see illustrations Of these facts
every day. The physician returns with his
diploma, prepared to heal the siek-the law
yer to plead for the rights of his fellow men
and the theologian to preach the e~ver1ast-
ing gospel. Their success in life is varied
according to the strength of intellect, appli-
cation to business, or circumstances by which
they are surrounded. Some rise to eminence,
and share the honors Of scholastic fame in
fields of deathless pleasure, while others are
lost in oblivion.
There is, however, among all classes and
professions of men, a disposition ito look
with pride on those below, and to envy those
that climb" A man in prosperity looks with
indifference upon his unfortunate neighbor,
and says in derision-''Wh hat can this mari
do? ~ implying that he can do nothing. But
when this same prosperous man sees another
more prosperous than himself, he rs heard to-
say-"What will this man do pas mucf,
as to say there is no boEnds to his ambition;
he will overreach his powers and finally be
destroyed.
In the present case, tire question seems to
imply, that the person concerning whom it

be most signally blessed In the end. But the
answer shows that however that may be, it
is no concern of those making the inquiry
They too had their work to do. If we do it
well, We may have praise for the same. Some
may be below, and others far above US, bat
let each one strive to act bis own part we'll.
and success is sure. Solomon says, "a man
diligent in his business shall stand before
kings, and not before mean men,"
The richest, wisest, and greatest men are
not always the most happy. Fher we should
strive to be good, rather than great. If We
fail of happiness in this lifey it does concern
us as to the enjoyment of others. And if we
come short of eternal life, on the day Of final
accounts it will of no importance whether
few or many be saved. Then instead of say
ing what shall this man do ~ our anxious
inquiry should be, what shall I do here on
earth, and in the scenes of the Judgment day
If this was the case, we would hear many say
ing, "Lord, here am (; send me-" I am rca
dy to 60 out into the battle field of life, and
to administer comfort to the Sons and daugh,
} tiers of affection. Then peace and righteous
ness would prevail in our land, as if the lior
and lamb fed together beneath Jehovah's
gentle reign. J. G. 3.

A Rrief Sketch.

In the State of - there lives an old gen
tleman, whose family consisted of himself,
wife and IN only daughter. Miss Laura was
an amiable girl, and her beauty caused all
the SWANS of the village of which she was an
inhabitant to bow before her. Her rosy
cheeks and snowy brow, sweet pouting lips
and golden hair, which hung in clusters
around her swan-like neck, served to make
her exceedingly lovely. But Laura, like too
many at the present day, would slight the
poor, to obtain the company of the rich
About this time she became acquainted with
two young men-Willian b., and Charles p.
VIII. was of rich ~parentage, wild, wicked, and
rude. He did not get drunk often, but he
would always drink when he was among his
associates. Charles was of poor p~arentage,
mild, gentle and obedient to his parents, and
also, a Son of Temperance.
AT the time of which We write, they were
both paying their respects to Miss Laura
She could not help loving to be in the COM
pany of Charles but at length she refused
his attentions, and no reason could be given,
except that he was poor. In a few months.
however, Laura and William were married.
Charles then began to pay bis respects to
Anna NJ, another young lady in the same
town, who though not so handsome as Miss
Laura, her manner were far more charming.
They were married. By industry and frU
gality, in a few years they secured them {
neat httle honies and were happy.
A brief two years had passed, and VIII.

How bright and beautiful is love in its
hour Of purity and nnocence-how mystic
teriously does il etherealize every feeling, and
concentrate every wild and bcwildering i'm
pulse Of the heart! Love, holy and mystic
rious love-it is the garland spring oflife, the
dream of the heart, the impassioned poetry
Of nature, its song is heard in the rude and
unvisitcd solitude of the fair forests, and
throngcd haunts of busy life it embellishes
with its flames the unpretending cot of the
peasant, and the gorgeous palace of the mon
arch, flashes its holy CLEAN of light upon the
measured track Of the homeless wandcrer,
hovcrs about the imperilled bark of the
storm-beatcn mariner, enfeebles the dark ben
ding wing Of the muttering tempest, and i'm
parts additional splendor to the beacon that
burns ION the far distant shore"
Love is the mystic and unseen spell that
harmonizes and 'soothes unbidden,' the wild
and rugged tendencies of human nature, that
liRgers about the sanctity of the domestic
hearth, and worshipped deity of the penitra-
LA and unitcs in frmer union the affections
Of social and religious society; gathers ver-
dant freshness around the guarded cradle of
helpless infancy, and steals in moonlight
darkness upon the yielding heart of despair
ing age--it bushes into reposing calmncss
the chafed and unrelenting spirit of sorrow,
and bears It fronr<1Ic existing anticipated evils
Of life, to its own bright and sheltering wv
or ofrePose-transforms into a generous de-
votion the e~xacting desires of vulgar interest
and sordid ~ayaricc, and melts into a fearful
compassion Of S~ensibility.
The image which holy and undecayed Low,
has portraitured on the deep shrine of tn,
heart, will not vanish like lineaments which
childhoods finger in idle moments may trac,
upon the sand-that image will remain thcr,
unbroken and unmarred-it will burn out I'm
detaced in its lustre, amid the quick rush o
the winds and the warning Of the tempest
cloud-and when the wavering ''star of fat
seems declining" the bowed and bewildere,
spirit, like the trembling dove of the patri
arch, will meet its home and its refuge il
that hallowed fame, where love presides a
high p~riestcss Of its s%anctity, and consecrate
to ~unbending truth the offered voice of he
~votaries.
