~ We call attention to the following COM
munication from one of the other islands, TO
show the feeling which exists among a class of
our people embracing our most reliable, indus
triOus and quiet citizens-the bone and sinew of
the country. The writer is a mechanic, a hard
working man, and his letter is only the express
sion of the sentiments of many others, indeed of
a large majority of the people, who feel the Jur-
den now falling more heavily each year on their
shoulders-not simply on account of the taxes
they have to pay, Blu: by the decrease in their
business, and the consequent increased difficulty
of making an honest living. There are very
few mechanics who now earn as much here as
they did years ago, or who can obtain their dues
as readily as formerly-there is less to do and
more bad debts in almost every branch of bust
ness. The prime cause of this we have pointed
out time and again, as existing in a Ministry to-
tally unfit for the emergency, and q line of
policy, which can only end in making Us all
government, ministers, merchants and mechanics,
a pack of worthless beggars. Why will not our
rulers take a firm stand and dismiss from office a
Minister who has lost public confidence, and
whose dismissal can be attended with no harm,
while the appointment of a competent successor
will Immediately restore public confidence and

Our correspondent is not the only one who
may be forced to leave for want of employment.
Many hare been compelled TO leare, and many
more will be compelled to go, unless this state of
things IL very soon corrected. His voice is but
the echo of public opinion.
The writer objects to government officers being
allowed to sit as representatives. He is right,
and his sentiments are in accordance with those
.C .I Il. II
sheriff, tax-gather or any other officer, high or
low, should be allowed to sit as representative,
FOR the simple reason that his vote and his inlu-
ence cannot be impartial or without suspicion.
We opposed the admission of judges to the lower
house, and they have been well excluded by law.
We shall, on equally good grounds, oppose the
election of any and all government officers to the
same place, unless they choose to resign their
offices for the time being, and run the risk of re-
appointment.

riches at the expense of the poor. At present he
holds the Office Of collector of customs at Koloa, on q

Faded Flowers.

The flowers that | saw in the wild wood
Have since dropped their beautiful leaves,
And the many dear friends of our childhood
Have slumbcred for years in their graves
But the bloom of the flowers remember,
Though their smiles shall never more see
For the cold chilly winds of December
Stole my flowers, my companions, from me
The roses may bloom on the morrow,
And many dear friends have won,
But my heart can part with but sorrow.
When | think Of the ones that are gone.
lis no wonder that broken hearted,
Or stricken with sorrow should be:
For we have met, we have loved, and we
have parted,
My flowers, my companions, and me.
How dark looks this world and how dreary
When we part from the ones that we love
But there rest for the faint and the weary
And friends meet with lost ones above.
But in heaven | can but remember,
When from earth my proud soul shall be
free,
That no chilly winds of December
Shall steal my companions from me-

CURIosIrIEs OF THE EARTH.-At the city OF
Madina: in Italy, and about four miles around
it. wherever the earth is dug, when the work
men arrive at the distance of sixty three feet,
they come to bed of chalk which they bore
with an anger. five feet deep. They then
withdraw from the pit before the anger is
removed, and upon its extrication, the water
bursts up through the aperture with great
violence, and quickly fills the newly-made
well, which continues full, and is affected
neither by rains nor dIonghts. But what is
mos: remarkable in this operation is the layers
of earth as we descend. at the depth OF
fourteen feet are found the ruins OF an ancient
city, paved streets, houses. floors and different
pieces of masonic work. Under this is found
Il SOFT oozy earth, made up of vegetables. and
at twenty-siX feet, large trees entire, such as
walnut trees, with the walnuts still sticking
to the stem, and the leaves and branches in a
perfect state representation. At twenty-eight
feet deep soft chalk is found, mixed with a
vast quantity of shells, and the bed is eleven
feet thick. Under this vegetables are found

Sunshine.

Open wide the window,
Lift the curtain high,
Catch all the glorious sunshine,
Let not ray pass by.
Oh who would live in darkness,
When all around is day?
Welcome, bright gift to dreary earth,
And drive all shade away.
The flower of oder sweetest,
And bloom of richest dye,
Is painted by the sunbeam,
Cod $ artist Of the sky.
The ocean waves have rainbow hucs
When dancing in the sun,
And when old Sol sinks in the west,
The bird glad song is done.
Without the golden sunshine,
Earth would be dark and dreary;
Without its light to cheer his way,
Mans pilgrimage be weary.
Then catch the blessed sunbcams,
Treasures to life and home,
From cleaest sky, through rifted clouds,
With health and joy they come.
And there's another sunlight
The saddcncd spirit needs,
The light that comes from loving smiles,
And kind and gentle deeds.
Without it, dark is brightest day,
Black clouds are all around,
If cruel words or unkind acts
Within our homes are found.
Then open wide the window,
Welcome the sun of day,
Give and receive the love-light,
To helm us on our Way
But heavenly Farther, grant us
Thine own Eternal Light,
TO gild our upward path to realms,
That are forever bright.

Swapping Horses in Haste.

Says a Tcncsse correspondent of the
Louisville Journal: have heard many
anecdotes as regards the "skedaddle" of
Morgan $ men from Lebon on the 9TH inst. =,
under the persuasive influence of General
DamOnt, with his brave Pcnnsyvanians and
kentuckians. One will show the peculiar
tactics of the maraudcrs. DR.. Mcdonald, of
Rome practising physician, was riding n
fine saddle horse towards Lebanon, when
he was met by the front of the flying rebels.
One of them, a rough, burly fellow, com
manded him down from his saddle" at
the same time presenting his pistol to the
medical man. The Doctor, like the traveller,
when met by Damont, after his own
stced had been slain by Luculus, was in no
condition to refuse, so he dismounted, and
the rebel, tearing the saddle bags away with
their pharmaceutical contents, leapt into the
vacated saddle and started off, head east
ward; on full gallop. The Doctor resumed
proceeded only short distance when "skee-
daddler No. . met him, and the same
interesting ceremony was repeated, the
marauder not knowing that he was Selling
"a tired horse, which belonged to one of his
companions. For his swap the Doctor
obtained ii fine looking black mare, which
had severe sabre cut over her sholder,
and another wound on tendon of her fore
leg. Our friend began to think his chance
of getting on very problametical, when No.
3 came up brcahlesslv and Instituted
another exchange, and this was repeated
five times, which led the Docror to think
that on battlefield there was always
leisure to swap horses" though there
might not be on a raft crossing river in u
frcshit Finally the Union pursuing party
came on, and Col. Wynkoop, not Knowing
the Doctor, took lin prisoner and held him
until he was recognized by some volunteer
citizens, who had joined the Federal Forces
In the meantime Morgan had been chased
nearly thirty miles, to Carthage on the
Cumberland, where there was boat on
which he escaped over the river, but had no
time to embark more than few of his
horses all the rest fell into the hands of
our troops and the next day Dr. Mcdonald
had the qualification of having his own horse
returned, and he ascertained that the
wounded animal, of which he was the tenn
porary owner the previous day, was John
Morgan celebrated black mare, backed on
which he had committed almost as many
depredations as Dick Turpin on his - bonny
black Bess.,,

The Tides.

These phenomena have in all ages,
excited curiosity. Various remarkable
theories have been advanced regarding
the tides. Many of these are so truly
absurd that it is hardly worth while to
refer to them. Persons find it difficult
to understand Why the tides are higher
at one time than another, and why they
rise to the height of sixty feet in the
Bay of Fundy forty in the ports of
Bristol, England: st. Malo, France
and only rise to a few feet in heghth at
New York and other places, while they
are scarcely perceptiblc IN the Baltic
and i'll o'her seas. Descartcs was the
first philosopher who advanced the
theory that the tides were due to the
influence of the moon, but Newton was
the first that worked out the problem
and discovered the true cause. Des-
cartes believed that the moon acted on
the waters of the ocean by pressure
Newton demonstrated that it acted on
the ocean by attrction; that instead of
pressing the wa crs, it rolled them up
dlrec y under i, and also at its antipodes
at the same time, thus producing the
two tides every day. The tides are
attractions Of both the sun and the
moon. If the earth had no moon, the
attraction of the sun would produce two
tides every day, but their cbb and flow
would take place at the same hours
regularly, not varying as they do now
these tides would also be much smaller
than these of the moon. Although the
mass of the sun is far greater than that
OF the moon, and though attrac ion is IN
proportion to the mass, yet it is also
nverscly as the square Of the distance.
AS the sun, therefore, is four hundred
times more distant than the moon the
attraction of the sea towards the sun is
found to be about three times less than
those Of the moon the tides produced
by the sun would be three times less
than those of the moon. There are
really two ocean tides, the lunar and
the solar, but the latter is absorbed by
the former, which is wholly observable
in respect 10 time, the solar only, as it
influences the highth of the tidal wave.
That caused by the moon is three times
greater than of the sun, and 1t follows
the moons motion around the earth,
raising and falling every twelve hours,
and each succeeding tide later by three
quarters Of an hour than the proceeding
ones, exactly in accordance with the
positions of the moon, or as it is COM
monty called, its rising and setting.
