THE PERILs OF THE PooR.-The terribly
cold weather experienced for two days past,
has been sufficiently uncomfortable to the rich
and wel-to-do in society; then, how unspeak-
ably dreadful it must have been to the poor I
Think Of the miserable old novels so many of
them live in; think of the thin and ragged gar
ments that scarcely cover their nakedness, to
say nothing of imparting warmth think of the
empty larder and the lack of fuel; think of the
half-starved, puny, sickly little children, crying
for what their parents cannot give them.
These are subjects and scenes to be remem-
bered as you sit around your own warm fire
sides, and bask in the smiles of domestic 10y
and plenty. And you, kind mother, as you
wrap your little child in warm fannels and
tuck up so carefully his little trundle-bed, re-
member the poor mother who has none of these
comforts for her perishing offspring. And re-
member ye all what the MASTER says:-"Inas.
much as ye have done it unto one of the least
OF these, my brethren, ye have done it unto
me-"

The location of the capital continues to be

THE CoLDEsT WEATHER IN SEVENTY
YEARS Mr.. Merriam, the weather prophet
of Brooklyn Heights, says the weather of Mon
day and Tuesday was the coolest known in
New York for seventy years. What is very
peculiar to this "cold term" is, that the most
intense cold has been at midday. Among the
pecularites of the snap, the Times mentions
the following:
"The most remarkable effects of the cold
were seen on the Bay and rivers, where a
thick cloud of steam was seen all day looking
as though thousand boilers were letting their
steam escape. The temperature of the air was
so much lower than that of the water, that the
vapor ascended from the surface as though the
Gulf Stream, with its tepid billows had sud
denly made divergence through Long Island
Sound into our harbor"
Worcester daily spy., 1859-01-12
POSTAL TARIFF.


The Postmaster Generalthas committed him
self to the scheme of raising the rates of letter
postage, in order that the Department may be
selfsustaining. This is movement that will
bring him more curses than blessings. His in
genuity could not combine measure to make
him more unpopular The present rates are
as high as the people will ever submit to with
Christian grace; and if certain gross abuses
were cut off, the present rates would soon be, if
not now, selfsustaining. The entire franking
system should be abolished and all matter
carried for the various Departments should be
paid for by the Government The idea that
the Postal Department must pay its own ex-
penses, is founded on but little stronger argu-
ment than could be advanced for making the
Army and Navy pay their own cost The post
Offices in the older States (some of the slave
States excepted,) are already selfsustaining,
or would be if not burdened by Congressman
and the Federal Government. This fact
proves that the present rates are high enough
We doubt if any Congress or any Administra-
ton will dare change the present rates, in plain
opposition to the views and wishes of the great
bulk of the people.

A BILL INTRODUCED IN CoNGREss FOR THE
PURCHASE OF CUBA.-The following bill for
the acquisition of the Gem of the Antilles"
was introduced in the Senate on Monday by
Mr.. Slidell, of Louisiana:
Whereas, Cuba, geographically, possesses COM
manding influence over the large and annually in
creasing trade foreign and coastwise of the Missis-
sippi Valley;
Whereas, The island in its present colonial condi-
tion must continue source of injury and annoy
ance, endangering the friendly relations between
Spain and the United States by the aggressions of
local authority upon American commerce and citi-
for which tardy redress can only be had by cir
cuitous demands on Spain; and
Whreas, In the opinion of Congress, and in ac-
cordance with the views of the President the best
means of settling the existing and removing further
difficulties, il is expedient that negotiations for the
purchase of the island should be renewed therefore,
Be enacted, etc. That thirty millions of dollars
be placed in the Presidents hands, for expenditure,
either from cash in the Treasury to be borrowed
on five per cent bonds of 81 900 each redeemable in
from Il to 20 years

The PUBLICATION OF BIRTHS has not been
customary in The Spy, but we can see no good
reason why it should not be. We are creatures
of habit; and our train of thoughts apt to run
in the common and beaten channel. Because
it has not been customary to publish births,
here in New England, great many people
have come to the conclusion that such publi-
cation is improper. But, if asked for the
reason of this belief, it would be found to rest
on anything but logic or common sence. A
persons entrance into the world, is surely as
OF much consequence as his or her marriage or
death; and we contend that the public an
nouncement of one is just as proper as the
other.
In England, Scotland and Ireland, the pub
lishment of births in the newspapers, is uni
versal custom. 1t is sanctioned by all classes
of society, and is expected as a matter of
course. To object to it, would there be consid-
cred matter Of extreme prudery.
Seeing no good reason why births should not
be published, we shall hereafter make public
all such as are sent us duly authenticated.

ARREST OF A BosToNIAN IN PARIs.-Ihe
difference betreen Red and Black Republican.
The Paris correspondent of the Boston Trav-
eller gives an account of the arrest of Mr..
VIM. Lee, formerly of the firm of Phillips,
Sampson Co.. on suspicion of comprising
the Emperor's life. Mr. Lee was arrested by
two secret policemen while strolling in the
garden of the Tuilleries, and was taken before
the Commissary of Police. They supposed
the prisoner to be an Italian, Red Repubh-
can, who was reported to be lurking in Paris
to take the life of Louis Napoleon Mr. Lee
told the Commissary that he was not "Red, !"
but "Black Republican" "Voyez rous 7" ex-
claimed the Commissary, turning to the police
men, who looked as though they wished they
could creep into some hole. C'est un negre des
EtatS Onis-He is a negro from the United
States p 1t is needless to say that Mr.. Lee
was soon liberated
