as an article purporting to be of utility
has been tested, and it's merits endorsed
by public opinion, unprincipled parties
endeavor to replenish their depleted
purses by counterfeiting and substituting
q spurious for the genuine article. Some

pills, powders, &C., was given for all dis

sink into that obscurity to which an en-
lightened age has consigned them. There
have been many spurious Bittors palmed

have been found perfectly worthless,

MARRIAGE.

M~ARklAGEs
Marriage is the crucibIe of Love. Not
only does it test, beyond all doubt, how
much of the pure and genuine metal. and
how much of dross has Comet make up
the composition, but it brings to light
various other ingredients, the existence
of which, but for this melting process,
would never be imagined. The charac-
ters both Of man and woman remain un-
developed so long as they live single lives;
and the cynic may compare the married
state to War, which, il in many respects
an evil, is still the Parent of much I'M
dreamed-ofgood. If, for instance, it does
not destroy Selfishness, the besetting vice
Of the male sex, it commonly admits wife
and children to sit side by side with self
In a mans heart. 1t is TO the Indolent
an incentive to exertion, and 10 the Reck-
less a motive for prudence. 1t brings
with it the sense of responsibility, which
is good for all of US, and steadies him who
has been hitherto the mere votary of pleas

and none OF our PROFESSIONALS could at
tempt to get into the ships hold with a
certainty of getting out again. At last
after much cogitation, it was arranged
that a hole should be cut about two feet
ton being first taken to place the brig
ARGUS" on one side and the brig Flor
ence" on the other, with a hawser to
support the emma" from sinking made
fast to both vessels. This was done
and though at an advanced hour of the
evening, the cutting of a-hole commenced.
The Wharfs were crowded with hundreds
Of people-lhe decks Of the vessels and
scores of boats in the harbour filled with
men, women, and chlldren-everyone
fervently desiring that the life of the
poor lad might be saved /; and eager 10
hail the momen that should see him
rescued. But, alas no sooner was Oh
opening made, than the confined air rush
ed out at a fearful rate, and the ship be-
ginning to settle, it was at once found
necessary ia close it up, the appalling
fact being then apparent that to save the
boys lft by that means was utterly out
Of the question. All that night, up 10
Wednesday morning, was this knocking
from inside of the ship continued and
about 9 a. m whilst a second hole was
being cut, the raps ceased, and the cap
tain tancying that the poor fellow must
at last have died from exhaustion, stop
ped any further progress with it. Thus
ended the life Of this unfortunate youth.
Penned up in his floating grave,-unable
to communicate the fact of his existence
for forty eight hours after the ship cap
sized-separated by merely IL wooden
partition from his comrades--to die as he
did is hpartrending to consider. His
EXcelIency the Governor took a lively
interest in this matter; and, by his direc-
tons, we are Informed the Harbour Mas
ter has placed the distressed crew in
lodging ashore and seen to their wants.
Mr.. G. Simmons (of MeSSrS. A. Hubbard
and CO.. Lloyds Agent here, made him.
self particularly busy; and every body
Wed in their efforts TO be useful, both in
raising the ship aud in attempts TO save
the boy Charley. $3.50 were offered, in
our presence, to any one who would go
in and bring out the lad but none dared
10 accept it. The task was an impossi-
biIity. This is, certainly, the most aflict-
ing event we have ever heard of.

consider the price. Ii sugars were selling
at $40 or $12 the 100 h., the planter
might afford to pay Al pr. CT. of a price
of Sc in the cost of shipping. But unfor
tunately for the planter sugars are not
selling at such a price. AS a rule they
are selling at a price that leaves very
little profit 10 the planter. To what ex-
tent can the planters of this island IN
fuence the price Of sugar? The answer
must be to a very little extent. The
produce of st. Croix has an almost i'm
perceplible influence in this respect.
What has tended more than any thing
else to lower the price of sugar in the
Of the cultivation Of the beet-root, a plant
that does not yield any thing like the
quantity of sacharine mattert that is yielded
by the su gar cane, but the cultivation OF
which, nevertheless, owing 10 cheap la
bour, cheap capital, and greater skill IN the
cultivation and manufacture enables the
producer to underSell us.
Now, given that We cannot Increase the
price of our sugars how are we to carry
on the cultivation so as TO make 1T paw.
There is but one answer. We must de-
crease the cost Of. production. These
costs do not merely consist in the amount
of freight or the other items that appear
in the a~ccount-sale; these items are only
some of many. In fact, we shall see that
their total amount is formed by a great
many more and take their origin from
different sources. The cost of production
depends mainly, not 10 say entirely, on
the interest at which the capital employed
in the production may he obtained, and
the wages paid 10 the labourers. Now,
unfortunately, the rate of interest on ca
pitaI employed by our planters is very
high, and, however much we try 10 con-
ceal it 10 ourselves by the deviSes of the
labour act, the amount of wages paid by
the planters 10 the labourers is, if pos
sible, relatively still higher. AS we are
at present circumstance we cannot eX-
pect an immediate decrease either In the
interest on capital or IN the amount OF
wages. What then? The case of the
planters seems almost desperate. And
it would really be so, if there was not
one other remedy, and that one over
which the planter has great control HIM
self; a remedy for the neglect in using
which he entirely is himself to be blamed,
one in emitting to use which, he can
neither blame the Government nor the
weather, the two ~favorile causes to which
all his troubles are usually ascribed. The
remedy is, that he must get more etficl-
ent and better work from all those who
get his pay for their Iabour first of all
from himself if he happens to be the adj
ministrator and manager of his property,
if not, then from his administrator, next
from his manager, his overseer, and lastly
from those who only give manual labour.
It has been too much the habit 10 lay all
the blame for the unsuccessful %cultiva-
tion of sugar in this island at the door of
the common labourer. Are we quite just
in doing so? Is it he alone that has not
been doing his best3 Have all the admin
istrators, all the managers, and all the
Overseers been doing theirs

the life of Il boy. The Danish brig Emma,
24O tons, Of Copenhagen, Capt. Hofding,
had just completed d~lschargIng a cargo
of GOALS at the Royal Mail Company's
depot, and was proceeding to the buoy
in the centre Of the harbour, to lay there
and take ballast, when, owing to some
inexplicable cause she suddenly Iurched
one way and then the other, eventually
going on her beam ends and capsizing.
The weather had been very unsettled,
and gusty during Monday, and the gene
rally accepted opinion is hat the Emma
overturned from having been struck by a
puff while going broadside on to her
mocrings. 1t is strange too, that a YES
sci Of her description, with Such sharp
lines, iii fact, a perfect clipper, should
have been permitted to leave a wharf
without having sufficient ballast on board.
No sooner, however, did the Emma over
turn, than the boats from the American
whalcr ". B. Gr0zier, and Others from
the wharfs, pushed off to her assistance,
and succeeded in saving the lives Of Cap
tain Hoffding and The crew but one boy
"A native Of ST. Thomas, and a fuvourite
of the captaius'-was missing, and could
not be found. Meanwhile the vessel lay
bottom up the rapidity with which she
went over, fixing her .masts below, and
causing her to rest upon them, prevented
her from completely filling; for, as the
whole of her copper remained above, 1t
is thought that her hold was kept free Of
water. On the following morning Tues
day, divers were procured with the view
of seeing whether the body of the lost
lad could be discovered but after care
fully searching about the wreck, all that
they succeeded in doing was the cutting
away of the three boats which had been
pulled down by the ship, and forcing
them to the surface. All sorts Of plats
were thought upon to raise the brig but
none could be carried out. At length it
was resolved 10. drag her into shallow
water; and a. strong haWsrr was made
fast from the brig Florence 10 the capsiz-
ed vessel but spite of the best efforts of
The crews of both shl ps, as well as of
shore hands, the Emma budged not. At
this stage, it was decided to await the
arrival of an expected man-of-war, before
any further attempts were made to right
the ship. Attention was again turned to
the lost lad-Whose fate the captain and
crew bitterly Iamentrd. All Tuesday
forenoon, the wreck was again searched,
the depths peered into, tie coast examin-
ed-but in yaio. 1t was in the afternoon
that the awful secret became known
Ourselves and a few others were pulling
round the brig, and specializing on the
probability of her being pulled up, when
or reaching the after part Of the vessel
three distinct knocks were heard by US,
proceeding from the interior, of the hold,
and seemingly, from the direction of the
cabin. Startled, we listened again and
the raps continued. In the meantime,
the crew pulled alongside to fix a lamp,

night, and on one man getting on the keel,
another knock was given, and it was at
