Trouble Kills.

The secret sorrow of the mind, q sor-
row that must be kept how it willis away
the whole man, himself unconscious mean
while of it's murderous effect He cannot
feel that he is approaching death, because,
he is sensible of no pain in fact ne has
no feeling. but an indescribable sensation
perceived about the physical heart.
Lord Raglan, commander-in-chIef OF the
British army before Sebastopol, the bosom
friend of the Duke of WelIingtonfor forty
years; to whom partial friends have often
said,-his character seemed without a
aaw,-such man died, fguratively of ~
broken heart. In moment, almost,
trouble came like whirlwind; /; avalanche
followed avalanche in quick succession, so
that no time was loft the torn spirit to
rise above it's wounds. The British Gov
ernment, quailing before popular clamor,
left the brave old man to bear the brunt
alone, because it couldanot afford to recall
him, and yet had not the courage to sus-
tain him. While the tone of official COM
munications deprived him of his sleep,
weighted heavily upon him, and broke
his gallant spirit, the failure OF the Redan
closely followed. On reaching headquar-.
ters a letter was in waiting which an-.
nounced the death Of the last surviving
| of a large family of brothers and sisters
the next day the death of IL general, his
old companion in arms. Next came the;
news thatst the gallant son ofSLord Lyons.
was sinking under his wounds. These
things, coming SO rapidly one after
another, in the course of a few honrs as
it were, caused such u changeiii his ap-
pearance, all unkn, wn to himselfahowev
that his physician had to request him to
take to his bed and within torty-eight, t,
hours he died, without supposing himself
to be in any danger whatever.
"You are worse than YOU should be from
the fever you have. Isyour mind-at ease g.
said quick. sighted physician to sleep-
less, wasting patient. mo, it is not" was
the frank reply, and last recorded words
of Oliver Goldsmith, whose Vicar OF
Wakefield and the Deserted Village will
only die with the English language. He
died ut the age OF forty-sx OF m.alady
of the mind, from blasted hopes and un--
kind speeches of the worlds around him !!
He was Il man whose heart was large
enough and kind enough TO have made
the whole world happy,whose troubles
arose from his humanity; yet the base
things said of him, SO undeserved, SO ma
lignant and untrue, broke his heart. :,
In view of these facts, let parents early
impress on the minds Of children-it is
!. rot what they are charged with but what
they are guilty OF, that should occasion
trouble and remorse-that; d carping
word should not blanche the cheek or
break the spirit, SO long rs there is con-
scious .rectitude within. ~. s,

The Else Arts 10 America.
To judge by the meagre collection with
which tho American Academy Of Design has
opened its fall and winter exhibition, the fine
arts are at discount in America, even among
our artists themselves. But such an inference
should not too hastily be drawn. The Council
OF the Academy might have wisely postponed
the exhibition until larger and superior col
lection had been gathered from the studios OF
those artists who, We have reason to know, have
not been idle during the past summer. AT
home and abroad not few of them have been
industriously at work. little we'll directed
effort might have brought 10 the walls Of the
Academy many canvas that would respond
to the increasing demand of our citizens for
greater variety and higher standard Of ex-
cellonce in the productions Of American art.
We are not unaware Of the difficulties and
encouragement with which art has had to con-
tend during the comparatively few years since
1t fairly began its course in this country. We
would do full honor to those artists, several OF
whose names stand high on the catalogue of
the Academy, who have turned aside from the
prizes offered by successful business life in
this new and active democratic society, and
devoted themselves to the education and the
qualification Of an artistic taste which Is but
of recent development here. But this taste
has now been developed, and, az we
have Unlimited, its demands are in
creasing. Only let our artists keep
pace with the rapid progress Of the taste
which they themselves have done so much to
create and to foster, and al school Of American
art may ere long arise not unworthy of the
field which the future promises to open. There
is abundant wealth to reward literally the
highest efforts Of genius in art. In our incom-
parable scenery, in our history, and particu-
larry in the stirring incidents and scenes of our
recent war, there is no lack of material for the
finest pictures and statues. The requirements
fpriyate and public life are daily multiplying
opportunities for higher style OF architecture.
To mention but one or two points OF detail
which Offer room for Improvement in the de-
partment Of art, why should our architects
persist in encouraging the whims that lead to
the Disagreement of our principal streets by
such wild irregularity in the heights Of the
splendid marble buildings which are, one after
another, towering, like so many Babels, to the
sky? Could not something like what the
French call al;gaeme@ DO introduced in our
street architecture that would secure the COM
bined advantages Of general uniformity and OF
the utmost variety in detail' Is it not time also
TO suppress ia our fine private dwellings those
unsightly and inconvenient excrescencas in
the shape OF bay windows, which should never
have come into fashion! Even In a country
house the alleged advantages Of the bay win
dow are counterbalanced BY its certain disad-
vantages. II is both too hot in summer and
too cold in winter. In city house it is simply
intolcrable all the year round.

New York wants room for its people to live
in. II wants space within Its immediate
proximity where the vegetable materials that

We yesterday gave an account Of the gale
which swept over Porto Rico and the adjacent
islands, especially that Of Tortols, which was
completely submerged. Further advices state
that this island was under water for eight
hours, and that "every living thing, man or
animal, upon il perished." These gales which
20 often visit the West India islands have been
unusually severe this year, and especially at
Porto REQ. Thus, il IL stated in our special
telegram Of yesterday chat the tempest was
more severe than the two terrible gales which
visited the ill-hssd island previous to 1850.
All the towns have been terribly dcsolsted.
Ono thousand houses have been laid In ruins
and three thousand have been severely
damaged !" seattle have been killed and fields
swept entirely bare" The sufferings OF the
inhabitants must be fearful and II 10 an
