refer YOU to the report of the Superin-
tendent Of the Tennessee Hospital for the
insane. Under the efficient management Of
its present able officers, this noble institution
of charity proves to be an honor TO the State
and blessing 20 its unfortunate inmates. IL
is proper that | should call your attention to
the fact that there are at the institution a
number Of pay patients from the Southern
States, whose bills have not been met for four
or five years. The accounts Of the parties
who have placed these patients in the hospi-
tai, have been regularly made out and for
warded 10 them repeatedly. Some have re-
piled that they were unable 10 meet them,
while others have treated these calls with
silent contempt The outstanding debt due
10 this institution, in items Of this character,
now amounts to nearly $4,000 Many Of
these patients were sent here through pride,
and a desire % have them far removed from
their homes and families.
Ii is not just that our people should be
taxed to support the unfortunate Of other
States, especially when the presumption is
that their relatives are able TO defray ther
expenses. Such a course would be a DEPART
ure from the rule that our charlie should
begin at home. ] recommend that the rela-
lives be once more notified and IL no set
Element is made within a reasonable time,
the patients be conveyed to their homes at
the expense Of the Stale, and turned over 70

ARRIVAL or a GORILLA AT HAvRB.-The Psrs
correspondent Of the London Globe says:
Capt. Rachon of the good ship Antoine, which
sailed on Friday into Hayre brings good news for
N. du Chanlu, and utter confusion to his enemies.
He arrives direct from lagos, and decMres that
during his stay in Gabon 6o took part in the cap,
ture and destruction of a huge gorilla The gigaa-
nc brute measured two metres seventy centime-
tres from the crown Of the head to the heel. He
had been pursued by the natives for carrying of
native woman from plantation. Therefore the
savans themselves are defeated for it was only at
the SeaHce lately held at the Academic, to deter
mine the fact of the animals existence, that the
story related by Button and other Daturasts of its
fondness for the refined society of the black ladies
was pronounced t. be utterly untrue and incom-
pauOle with every reasonable suppostiou admitted
in natural history,

When Poland, marked for ruin. sank,
ft9tn house to house, from rank to rank,
The moan of anguish crept:
Yet ere the last dim vision fed.
4Iefe rose cry, =" She is not dead!N
Its eehoes-haye they slept?
She is not dead faded cheek,
Ala eyes from many a vigil weak,
Her cherished woes hetray;
Tut quickened still by wrath and wrong,
her bosOm's throbbing tide is strong,
And wei she hides her day.
Though doomed the strangers floor to tread
And stretch the bashful hand for bread
y en- Genius tells to earn,
Her children sc0rn the gided chain,
Ard all the patriots faith retain,
With VOWS that never turn.
Wars clarion shout may fill with dread
The burgher's hall, the peasant shed
TO them ii heralds joy; ,,.-,,..,-
TIE warriors tramp, whene' er tvs heard,
Thrills them as thrills the tender word
Some long-lost, homeless boy
OH think what burning tears must fall,
Wren conauests flag becomes the pail
To shroud a lifeless hope;
When those who braved the battle food,
And rushed to swell it with their blood,
Grasp but a sand-spun rope.
How blest the man whose sturdy brand,
High flashing Ger his native land,
Keeps hearth and altar pure =.
of altar and of hearth beTeft,
What wreck has yon sad exile left
His lot is to endured ...
A hard but glorious lot, to show
How clear in sorrow S night may glow
The lamp by virtue fed;
Aud though lis country's voice be hushed,
Her cause betrayed, her freedom erush'd,
10 prove she is not dead
Not dead, yet mourning in her weeds
Like one whose widow d bosom bleeds,
Whose very soul is how'd;
A nation drpops, it never dies;
To Heaven its oath of vengeance flies;
Us grief, its shame, is proud.
Ii time thy garlands, peace, must fade,
And steel once more the brow will shade,
Again the lance will CLEAN.

She oombats, yaRqnishes, forgiyesl
How sweet, how bright the dreami
Or this, in the devotional strain;
AN OFFERING WHERE MOST DUE.
Great Cause, whence first our being came,
Creator Savior Judge of all!
Through endless ages still the same;
Eternal King, on Thee we cali!
Tho mortal eye can meier behold,
Nor brain of man thy form conceive,
That thou art good thy works unfold
The rest TO faith and hope we leave.
While here we breathe, ten thousand forms
OF grace and radiance charm our eyes:
But Heavens fair vault is swept by storms,
And nature fades and beauty dies.
For one brief burning hour of youth,
In life, in love, in joy we trust;
Another tells til Overwhelming truth,
That all we doat on is but dust.
Thou only, whose Almighty will
Drew man from earth and worlds from nough
Canst bid tn expiring heart be still,
And fix on Heaven the sinking thought.
Then, Lord, on Thee, no more to range,
Oar hearts in trembling faith rely
Assured, tho all but Thou must change,
That we, tho changed, shall never die.

MARRYING A WIFE's sIsTER.-'rhe British House
of Commons have, by a very decided vote rejected
bill TO legaiize marriage between a man and his
deceased wleis sister. This subject has been
long time before the British Parliament The
Commons have more than once, il we mistake not
approved bills iegalizing such marriages. but the
Lords have rejected them. The debate was a warm
one. The Commons had received petitions, bearing,
tits said the signatures oil over a million of persons
including, at least, one Bishop and several hundred
of the clergy of the English Church. in favor of the
measure. The friends of the bill pointed ont
that in prohibiting these marriages England was
an exception among civilized nations France
allowed them; Switzerland allowed them; they
were sanctioned by all the Protestant churches
out Of the British dominions, and by the Roman
Catholic ChuTch-the latter under the restriction
of requiring dispensation. The point most
warmly discussed was, whether a woman could
live in the family of her married sister, honorably
and free of all imputation of seeking a succession
as long as the law permitted the possibility of her
being married to the head of the family. This
was denied on the one hand, and maintained on
the other. The presence OF a wife's sister in the
family, if marriage with the husband was, however
cause of jealousy on the part OF the wife; and,
despite the best intention on the part of the sister,
her presence in the family created in her mind n
idea that she would be the successor of her sister
as the wife Of her brotherin-aw. On the other
hand it was argued that the deceased wife's sister
was to De preferred as the stepmother of her sis
ter's children, and that the law which excluded
her from that relation, and turned their children
over to another woman, stranger in blood and
affection, was cruel aud unnatural.
