AMONG the passengers by the steamer

pinwall, were the Hon. j. Randolph Clay,
U. s.. Minister to Peru, aud family. Mr.
Clay left Lima in the early part of last
month, having suspended diplomatic reIa-
tionsiwith the republic of Peru in couse-
quence Of instructions from our Govern

the immediate settlement, without further
discussion, of the diflculty arising out Of

republic, ipsshipping guano for foreign ex-
portation, at ports whore it is insisted
such shipment was expressly prohibited.
The Peruvian Government having refused
to arrange the matter in the manner de-
sired by the United States, Mr.. Clay had
no alternative left but TO demand his pass

the following advice to yogng men who

Before you 60 for an editor, young man,

can attend banquets, weddings, &c, visit
balls of dazzling light, get tnebriated,

and enjoy themselves in a variety of ways;
but the editor cannot. He must stick
tenaciously to his quill. The press like

A sMI111so" match came off on Monday
morning in the vicinity of Weekhawken,
h. Y, between Two bruisers, named Clarke
and Horrigan. The brutal encounter was
witnessed by mixed crowd, numbering
some 500 thieves, bullies, blacklegs, vaga-
bonds and scoundrels. The men fought
fotty-four rounds in three hours and TWEEN
ty-tWo minutes. Considerable betting
occurred during the fght, mostly at even.
No interference was made by the police,
there being but one officer on the ground.
Several knock=down blows were given by
both sides, Clarke having the greater num-
Der to his credit. Horrigan was terribly
punished about.the face, his left eye being
completely closed, and he bore evidence of
rather severe usage about the body
Clarke was also roughly handled, but
seemed as fresh at the close as when he
first entered the ring.

Death.

What woes are caused by dea th
in this world They are seen every
where. The earth is arched with graves
In almost every dwelling death has been
doing his work of misery. The palace
cannot exclude him; and lie comes un,
hidden into the cottage. He finds his
way to the dwelling Of ice which the
Greenlander and the Esguimaux live; to
the tent of the Bedouin Arab, and the
wandering Tartar; to the wigwam of the
Indian, and to the barem of the Turk;
to the splendid mansion of the rich, as
well as to the abode of the poor. The
reign of death has now extended near
six thousand years and will travel on to
future ycars-meeting each generation,
and consigning the young, the vigorous,
the lovely, and the pure, to dust. Shall
that gloomy reign continue for ever?
Is there no place where death can be ex-
cludcd? Yes: Heavcn-and the object
of the Redeemer is to bring us there.

Deeds of Kindness

Suppose the little cowslip
Should hang its golden cup,
And say, I'm such tiny flower
I'd better not grow up; ..
How many weary travaler
Would miss its fragrant smell
How many little child would grieve
TO loose It from the dell
Suppose the glistening dew-drops
Upon the grass should say,
What can little dew drop COZ
I'd better roll away;'
The blade on which it rested, ...
Before the day was done, ....
Without drop to moisten it
Would wther in the sun.
Suppose the little breezcs,
Upon summers day, .r.
Should think themselves too small to coo
The trav'ler on his way;
Who would not miss the smallest
Fhc softest one that blow,
And think they make great mistake
If they were talking so?
How many deeds Of kindness
A little child may do,
Although it has so little strength,
And little wisdom too
1t wants loving spirit
Much more than strength, to prove
How many things a child may do
For others by his love.

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Ifiubscribers order the discontnuance OF
heir newspapers, the publisher may contnne
send them until all arrearages are paid.
lfsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the Office to which they are
directed, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
If subscribers move to other places without
informing the publisher, and the newspapers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
tkat newspapers from the office, or removing,
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence of Intentional fraud.
