AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS AT THE PARIS Elk.
rosrTIoN.--A letter from Paris concerning the
details of the coming Industrial Exposition
there, says:
1t is generally known here that America is
the country where newspaper literature is
more universally brought home to the entire
population than any other; but must doubt
whether any just notion Can be formed of what
10 really done in that way 1t seems to me
that there can be no better mode of letting the
world form a correct judgment on the subject
than that proposed by Col Norton. By the
way, the English Commission has already re-
solved upon carrying out the same idea as re-
CARDS the. English daily press. The system
upon which the proposal is to be carried out in
the United States is, understand as follows:
By aprs arranged organization a specimen
copy OF the first number of every newspaper, of
every description, published throughout the
country in the month of January, 1861, shall be
sent to given place, together with statement
q the amount OF its circulation. The copies
SO received shall be bound up in volumes,
elassed either by States or by large cities. &C
cordingly as may be determined. with view
60 portability and convenience Of form. 1t is
to be hoped that the proprietors Of the publi-
cations in question will, as a BODY. nerceive
that the success of this important feature
OF the exhibition is a matter which concerns at
once their private interests and the credit of
the country.

Saith The white owl TO the martin folk,
In the belfry tower SO grim and gray;
''Whv do they deafen with these bells?
Is auy one dead or born to-day?
A martin peeped over the rim Of its nest,
And answered Grossly: "why, amt you heard
That an heir has come to the great estate?"-
II 'aven't," the owl said, "'pon my word"
saith the snail 50 snug in his dappled shell,
Slowly stretching one cautious horn,
As the beetle was hurrying by 50 brisk,
Much to bis snailships inward scorn:
..,yhy does that creature ride by 90 fast?
Has fire broke out to the east or west?"-
"Your Grace, he rides to the wedding-feast.
'Iet the mailman 60. What l wants rest"
The swallows around the woodman SKINNED,
Poisnp and turning on flashing wing:
one said: "How lveth this lump of earth?
In the air he can neither soar nor spring"
lover the meadows we sweep and dart,
Down with the flowers or mp in the Skies
While these poor wanderers toll and slave,
Haif-starved, for ho'c can they catch Their Hess
Juoth the dry-rot worm to his artisans ase.
In the carpenter's shop, 40 they bored away
su.rk to the sound of the saw and hie!
What arc these creatures at work at-say?"
From his covered passage worm looked out
And eyed the beings 30 busy 0'erhead:
Il scarcely know, my Lord; but think
They're making box to bury their dead"
Saws butterfly with his wings Of blue
All in hutter of careless JOY,
AS he talks TO dragon-fy over flower,
"Ours is a life sir, with no alloy.
What are those black things, row and row.

'Ihat is a funeral, !" says the ny,

DISASTERS.

Considerable damage was done to the shipping at
this port during the gale Thursday. Several ves-

and sustained injury by contact. Fishing schr Lila

she will come of without much damage. S III Ellen
