BT XAVIEE H0MMA1RE DE HELL.Thia book forms an interesting volume of

thft Fnroiirn T .Ik..... r n""b" uc arc wen awareof the taste and judgment required in theintroduction of foreign books, even such ascontain good materials, to an English pub--iic. yjur eianaard demands that a traveler sinformation should be conveyed in pleasantstyle. Unfortunately, German travelers,with few exceptions, either cannot or will notwrite pleasantly; but frequently offendagainst our taste by palming upon us a dis-quisition under the cover of a book of trav-els. Mr. Kohl himself, after achieving considerable success by a strain of writing thatmight be called liveliness in a German, haslapsed into a manner of compilation whichwe can designate by no other title than thatot bookmaking.

The present work is not a German book,and these remarks apply to it only in a par-tial degree. The author.s wife accomnaniiJ him in his travels through a districtcomparatively unbroken by tourists; and werecognize in the descriptive and narrativeportions of the book a liveliness of femininestyle which relieves the heavy, though valuable chapters on commerce, statistics andpolitics. We shall confine our noticechiefly to the lady's portion of the book:only promising, for the sake of those whoread for more than amusement, that therewill be found in the heavier chapters muchinformation on the commerce and policy ofKussia, and respecting its position with regard to the Caucasus and our Indian possessions.

We do not find in these sketches manynew traits in the Russian character as al-

ready portrayed by other writers. Ourtravelers stayed for some months at Odessa ;

and the lady was delighted with the musicin the church there. Many have spoken ofthe effect of Russian vocal music, but fewhave noticed the simple secret of its power,It is worth noticing in our own country; forwhile we have every season a host of solowonders, we are still poor enough in choralharmony. This is the field in which newthings are to be done. The excellence ofRussian vocal music lies not in its composition, but in the keeping of voices close together. This is enough to account for theeffects described by the writer.

'The brilliant fetes that took place on thearrival of the imperial family, happenedmost opportunely for us, and enabled us tosee many celebrated personages. All theforeigners of distinction who had been pres-ent at the famous review of Vosnecenskfollowed the emperor to Odessa, and prolonged their slay there after his departureThe whole town was in revolution. Thehouses of dubious color were most carefully

ed, and even old tumbling walls wereplastered and colored. le lJeum waschanted in the cathedral the day their ma-

jesties arrived; the emperor and his eldestson attended, and were met at the greatdoors by the whole Russian clergy dressedin their richest robes, and headed by thearchbishop. The emperor was accompaniedby a long train of courtiers and officers,whose golden embroideries and glitteringdecorations vied in splendor with the magni-ficent costumes of the popes and choristers.The Te Deum appeared to me incompara-bly beautifuL Whoever would know thefull power of harmony, should hear the re-

ligious music of the Russians. The notesare so full, so grave, of such thrilling sweet-

ness, and such extraordinary volume, andall the voices, seeming as though they is-

sued from the depths of the building, accordso admirably with each other, that no lan-

guage can express the effect of that mightymusic and the profound emotion it excites.I had often heard enthusiastic accounts ofthe Russian church singing, but all fell farshort of what I then heard."

From Odessa - our travelers proceededthrough Kherson and Nicolaief. On theirway they witnessed the sudden thaw of tbeDnieper.

Two days afterwards a southerly windhad almost completely swept away the im-

mense sheet of ice that for so many monthshad imprisoned the waters of the Dnieper.The thaw took place so rapidly, that theriver was free before any one could havenoted the progress of its deliverance. Ineight days there was not a vestige of ice,and we returned to Clarofka without expe-

riencing any of the emotions we had felt onour first rash and picturesque expedition.But this mild weather, very unusual in themonth of March, soon gave place to sharpfrosts, which renewed the winter mantle ofthe Dneiper, and did not entirely cease untilthe beginning of April. At this season thesteppes begin to be clothed with a magnifi-

cent vegetation, and in a few days they havethe appearance of a boundless meadow, full

of thyme, hyacinths, tulips, pinks, and aninfinity of other wild flowers of great sweet-

ness and beauty. Thousands of larks nes-

tle in the grass, and carol everywhere overthe traveler's head. The sea, too, partakesof the common gladness of the general sea-

son. Its shells are more beautiful and morenumerous; its hues are more varied, and its

murmurs gentler. Plants and animals seem

all in baste to live and reproduce their kind,

Nothing can exceed the depravity of theRoman clergy, and their ignorance is on apar with their vicious propensities. Most ofthe monks and priests pass their lives in dis- -gracelul intoxication, that render them inca-pable of decently discharging their religiousduties. The priestly office is regarded inRussia, not as a sacred calling, but. as ameans of escaping from slavary and attain-ing nobility. The monks, deacons, andpriests, that swarm in the churches and mo-

nasteries, are almost all sons of peasantswho have entered the church that they mayno longer be liable to the knout, and aboveall to the misfortune of being made soldiers.But though thereby acquiring the right toplunder the serfs and catechise thnm aftertheir own fashion, they cannot efface thestain of their birth, and they continue to beregarded by the nobility with that sovereigndisdain which the latter profess for all whoare not sprung from their own caste. Thegreat and the petty nobles are perfectlyagreed in this respect, and it is not uncom-mon to see a pometshik raise his hand tostrike a pope, whilst the latter humbly bowshis head to receive the chastisement. Thisresignation, which would be exemplary if itwere to be ascribed to evangelical humility,is here but the result of the base and crouch-ing character of the slave, of which theRussian priest cannot divest himself evenin the midst of the highest functions of bisspiritual life. It is particularly onthe eve of a great church festival, that theRussian priest is sure of an abundant har-vest of poultry, eggs and meal. Easter isthe most remarkable of these festivals, andlasts a whole week. During the precedingseven weeks of Lent, the Russian must noteat cither eggs, meat, fish, oil, butter orcheese. His diet consists only of saltedcucumbers, boiled vegetables, and differentkinds of porridge. The fortitude with whichhe endures so long a penance proves themighty influence which religious ideas pos-

sess over such rude minds. During the lastfew days that precede the festival, he is notallowed to take any food before sunset, andthen it may be fairly admitted that brandy isa real blessing for him. To return toour Easter holidays : the last week of Lentis employed in making an immense quantityof cakes, buns, and Easter bread, and instaining eggs with all . sorts of colors. Apainter was brought expressly from Khersonto our entertainer's mansion for this purpose,and he painted more than one thousand eggs,most of them adorned with cherubims, fatcheeked angels, virgins, and all the saintsin paradise. The whole farm was turnedtopsy-turv- y, the work was interrupted, andthe steward's authority suspended. Everyone was eager to assist in the preparationsfor merry-makin- g; some put up the swings,others arranged the ball-roo- m; some wereintent on their devotions, others half smothered themselves in the vapor baths, whichare one of the most favorite indulgences ofthe Russian people: all, in short, were busyin one way or other. A man with a barrelana taw aorgan had been engaged lor a long wmiebeforehand,

.

and when he arrived every facea a ease w

beamed with joy. ine Russians are passionately fond of music. Often in the longsummer evenings, after their tasks are ended, they sit in a circle and sing with a precision and harmony that evince a great natural aptitude for music. 7 heir tunes are verysimple and full of melancholy ; and as theirplaintive strains are heard rising at eveningfrom some lonely spot in the midst of thedesert plain, they often produce emotionssuch as more scientific compositions do notalwavs awaken. At last faster day wascome. In the morning we were greatlysurprised to find our sitting room filled withmen who were waiting for us, and weremeanwhile refreshing themselves with copi-

ous potations of brandy. The evening be-

fore we had been sent two bottles of thatliquor, and a large basket of cakes andnam ted eggs, but without any intimation ofthe use they were to be put to; but we atouce understood the meaning of this meas-ure, when we saw all these peasants in theirSunday trim, and a domestic serving outdrink to them, by way I suppose of beguil-ing the time until we make our appearance.The moment my husband entered the room,all those red-beard- ed fellows surroundedhim, and each with great gravity presentedhim with a painted egg, accompanying thegift with three stout kisses. In compliancewith the custom of the country my husbandhad to give each of them an egg in return,and a glass of brandy, after first putting itto his own lips. But the ceremony did notend there: Kooda barinya? kooda barinya?(where is madame), nadlegit (it must be so);and so I was forced to come among themand receive my share of the eggs and em-

braces. During all caster week the peas-ant has a right to embrace whomsoever hepleases, not even excepting the emperor andthe empress. This is a relic of the old pa-

triarchal manners which prevailed so longunaltered all over northern Europe. InRussia, particularly, where extremes meet,the peasant to this day addresses the czarwith thou and taee, and calls him lather inspeaking to him. When we bad got rid ofthese queer visitors we repaired to the par--1

lor, where the morning repast was servedup with a profusion worthy of the times ofPantagruel. In the centre of the tablestood a sucking pig flanked with small hams,German sausages, chitterlings, black pud-

dings, and large dishes of game. A mag-

nificent pie containing at least a dozenhares towered like a fortress at one end ofthe table, and seemed quite capable of sus-

taining the most vehement onslaught of theassailants. The sondag and the sterlet,those choice fish of southern Russia, gar-

nished with aromatic herbs, betokened thevicinity of the sea. Imagine, in addition toall these things, all sorts . of cordial waters,glass vases filled with preserves, and a mul-

titude of sponge cake castles, with theirplatforms frosted and heaped with bonbons,and tbe reader will have an idea of the pro-

fuse good cheer displayed by the Russianlords on such occasions. On leaving

the breakfast table we proceeded to the placewhere the sports were held; but there I sawnothing of that hearty merriment that elsewhere accompanies a popular holiday. Thewomen, in their best attire, clung to theswings, I will not say gracefully, but veryboldlv, and in a manner to shame the men,who found less pleasure in looking at themthan in gorging themselves with brandy intheir smoky kabaks. Others danced to thesound of the organ with cavaliers whosezigzag movements told of plenteous libations

We noticed on this occasion an essential characteristic of the Russian people.In this scene of universal drunkenness therewas no quarreling; not a blow was struck.Nothing can rouse the Russians from theirapathy; nothing can quicken the dull current of their blood; they are slaves even indrink. Such are the Easter festivi-ties. As the reader will perceive, they consist on the whole in eating and drinking inordinately. The whole week is spent in thisway, and during all that tune the authorityof the master is almost in abeyance; thecoachman deserts the stables, the cook thekitchen, the house-keep- er her store-roo- m;

all are drunk, all are merry-makin- g, all areintent on enjoying a season of liberty so longanticipated with impatience.

The preceding picture of so-call- ed re Jig--. . r i : a

ious lesuviues accounts ior in? writer aopinion that the conversion of the Kalmucks

. .w a o a a

to the Ureek. church would oe a questionsble advantage. It may be regretted, however, that the Moravians have been unsuccessful in the chief object of their missionto this part of the worldthe conversion ofthe Kalmucks: for the following sketch ofthe little colony at Sarepta affords a pleasantcontrast to the last extract.

' The Moravian colony, shut in within abend of the Volga, in the midst of the Kalmuck hordes, eloquently demonstrates whatmiracles decision and perseverance caneffect. It is the first shoot planted byEurope in that remote region, amidst thosepastoral tribes so jealous of their indepen-dence: and the changes wrought by theMoravian brethren on the rude soil theyhave fertilized, and on the still ruder character of the inhabitants, give striking evidence of the benefits of our civilization.Everything breathes of peace and contentment in this little town, on which rests theblessing of God. It is the only place I know

in Russia in which the eye is never saaueneaby the sight of miserable penury. No bitterthought mingles there with the interestingobservations gleaned by curiosity. Everyhouse is a workshop, every individual aworkman. Durimr the day every one isbusy ; but in the evening the thriving andcheerful population throng the walks and thesquare, and give a most pleasing air of animation to tbe town. JjiKe mosx uermans,the Moravian brethren are passionately fond

of music. ' The piano, heard at evening inalmost everv house, reminds them of theirfatherland, and consoles them for the vicin

ity of the Kalmucks. We visited the estab-

lishments of the Moravian sisters, where, by

a fortunate chance, we met a German ladymhn snnke French verv well. The life ofthe sisters is tranauil. humble, and accordant with the purest principles of moralityand religion. They are forty in number,and appear happy, as much so at least as it

is possible to be in a perfectly monastic statenf existence. Consummate order, commodious apartments, and a handsome gardenmake the current of their lives flow withunruffled smoothness, as far as outwardthings are concerned. Music, too, is agreat resource for them. We observed in

the prayer room three pianos, with which

they accompany the hymns they sing in

chorus. They execute very pretty work in

pearls and tapestry, which they sell for thebenefit of the community. There would be

nothing very extraordinary in these detailsif any other country were in question, we

are afraid they will even be thought toocommonplace; but if the reader will only

reflect for a moment on the position of thisnnaw ot civilization on me tar itrs I

Europe, in the midst of the Kalmucks andon the confines of the country of the Khir-ghi- s,

he will think our enthusiasm very nat-

ural and excusable. Of strangersto the association, there are in Sarepta thir-

ty families of work people from the Germancolonics of Saratof, forty Russians, andtwenty Tartars; some fifty Kalmuck kibit- -kas (tents) supply laborers lor tne gardensand for other works. The habitsof these colonists, their amount of educa--

a - ai l.tion, and their religious principles raaae amarked distinction between tbem and all meother Germans in Russia. V e have seenfew sectarians whose religious views arecharacterized by so much sound sense.While discharging their duties with the mostscrupulous exactness, they avail themselvesof the good things granted them by Providence, live in a liberal and commodious

.- a a asmanner, and surround themselves with authat can render life easy and agreeable.What struck us most of all, was to find

invariably in the mere workmen as well asin the wealthy manufacturer, a well bred,well informed man, of elegant manners andaoDearance and engaging conversation. Wespent but a few days in the colony, but ourknowledge of tbe tierman language enaoicuus quickly to acquire the friendship of theprincipal inhabitants; and when we left thetown, our carriage was surrounded by agreat number of those worthy people who

farewell, and to wishcame to bid ns a lastus a pleasant journey through the wild step-

pes of the Kalmucks.Ji tne wanoenag nwrwea ui -t

reading the 'Arabian Nights'; a thing,in short, such as crrwscs tbe traveler's pathbut once in all his wanderings, and which weenjoyed with all the zest of unci per ledpleasure. After tbe first . civilitieswere over, I was conducted to a very hand-some chamber, with windows opening on alarge verandah. I found in it a toih tie ap-paratus in silver, very elegant furniture, andmany objects both rare and precious. Mysurprise augmented continually as I beheldthis aristocratic snmptaousness. In vain Ilooked for anything that could remind row ofthe Kalmucks; nothing aronnd me had atinge of eoultur locale; all seemed rather tobespeak the abode of a rich Asiatic nabob:and with a little effort of iraavination. Imight easily have fancied myself transported into the marvellous world of the fairies asI beheld that magnificent palace encircledwith water, with its exterior fretted all overwith balconies and fantastic ornaments, andits interior all filled with velvets, tapestriesand crystals, as though the touch of awand had made all these wonders start fromthe bosom of the Volga! And what com-pleted the illusion was the thought that theauthor of these prodigies was a Kalmuckprince, a chief of those half savage tribethat wander over the sandr plains of theCaspian Sea, a worshipper of the GrandLlama, a believer in the metempsychosis; iashort, one of those beings whose existenceseems to us almost fabulous, such a boat ofmysterious legends do their names awakenin the mind. At an early hour nextday, Madame Zakarevitcb came to accom-pany us to the prince's sister-in-U- w, who.during the fine season, resides in the kibit- -ka in preference to the palace. Nothingcould be more agreeable to us than thisproposal. At last then I was about to seeKalmuck manuers and customs without anyforeign admixture. On the way I learnedthe princess was renowned among her people for extreme beauty and accomplishments,besides many other details which contributedfurther to augment my curiosity. Woformed tolerably large party when woreached her tent; and as she bad been in-

formed of our intended visit, we enjoyed, onentering, a spectacle that far surpassed ouranticipations. When tbe curtain at thedoorway of the kibitka was raised, we foundourselves in a rather spacious room, lightedfrom above, and hung with red damask, thereflection from which shed a glowing tint onevery object; the floor was covered with arich Turkey carpet, and the air was loadedwith perfumes. In this balmy atmosphereand crimson we perceived the princess seal-ed on a low platform at tbe further end vfthe tent, dressed in glistening robes, and asmotionless as an idol. Some twenty womenin full dress, sitting on their heels, formed astrange and particoloured circle round her.It was like nothing I could compare it to butan opera scene suddenly got up on the baukof tbe Volga. When the princess Lad allowed us time enough to admire her, sheslowly descended Ihe steps of tbe platform,approached us with dignity, took m by thehand, embraced me affectionately, and ledme to the place she had jt left. She didthe same by Madame Zakarevitcb and herdaughter, and then graciouxly saluting thepersons who accompanied us, she motiom--

them to be seated on a large divan oppositethe platform. No mistress of a house iaParis could have done better. When everyone had found a place, she sat down besideme; and through the medium nf. an Armenian, who spoke Russian and Kalmuck ex-

tremely well, she made me a thousand compliments, that gave me a very high opinionof her capacity. With the Armonian's as-

sistance we were able to put many questionto each other, and n4 withstanding the awkwardness of being obliged to hate recoursetn an interpreter, the conversation was farfrom growing languid, so eager nas Ibeprincess for information of every kind. TheArmenian, who was a merry soul, constitu-ted himself, of his own authority, graudmaster of the ceremopies, and eomroeucedhis functions by advising the princess lo giveorders for the opening of the bail. I some-diate- ly

upon a sign from the latter, one oftbe ladies of honor rose and performed afew steps, turning slowly upon herself;whilst another, who remained seated, drewforth from a balalaika (an Oriental guitar)some melancholy sounds, by no means ap-

propriate to the occasion. Nor were theattitudes and movements of her companionmore accordant with our notions of dancing.They formed a pantomime, the meaning afwbich I could not ascertain, but which, byits languishing monotony, expressed anything but pleasure or gaiety. Tbe youagfrwmnte frequently stretched out her armand knelt down as u to tavoae some laviaioiebeing. , Tbe performance lasted a consider-able time, during which I had full opportu-nity to scrutinize the princess, and saw gmdreason to justify the high renown in whichher beauty was held among her own swop lav.

Her figure is imposing, and extremely veilproportioned, as far as her awnswetas gar-

ments allowed me to judge. Her asoathfinely arched and adorned with beewtim.)teeth, her countenance expressive of greatsweetness, her skin somewhat brown, tulremarkably delicate, would entitle her U bthought a very handsome woman, even inFrance, if the outline of her face and tbe

150arrangement of her features were only atrifle less Kalmuck. Nevertheless, in spiteof the obliquity of her eyes and the promi-

nence of her cheek bones, she would still

find many an admirer, not in Kalinuckiaalone, but all the world over. Her looks

convey an expression of the utmost gentle-

ness and good nature, and like all the women

of her race, she has an air of caressinghumility, which makes her appearance stillmore winning. After the ball camethe concert.. The women played one afterthe other on the balaika, and then suns mchorus. But there is as little variety in theirmusic as in their dancing. At last we werepresented with different kinds of koumis andsweetmeats on large silver trays. When we

came out from the kibitka, the princess'sbrother-in-la- w took us to a herd of wild

horses, where one of the most extraordinaryscenes awaited us. The moment we wereoerceived. five or six mounted men, armedwith Ions lassooj, rushed into the middle ofthe laboun (herd of horses), keeping theireyes constantly fixed on the young prince,who was to poiut out the animal they should

seize. The signal being given, they instant-

ly walloped forward and noosed a younghorse with a long dishevelled mane, whose

dilated eyes and smoking nostrils betokenedinexpressible terror. A lightly clad Kal-

muck, who followed them on foot, immedi-

ately sprang upon the stallion, cut the thingsthat were, throttling him, and engaged withhim in an incredible contest of daring andability. It would be impossible, I think, forany spectacle more vividly to affect the mindthan that .which now met our eyes. Some-

times the rider and his horse rolled togetheron the grass; sometimes they shot throughthe air with the speed of an arrow, and thenstopped abruptly, as if a wall had all at oncerisen up before them. On a sudden the fu-

rious animal would crawl on its belly, orrear in a manner that made us shriek withterror, then plunging forward again in hismad gallop he would dash through the taboun,and endeavor in every possible way to shakeoff. his novel burden. But this exercise,violent and dangerous as it appeared to us,seemed but sport to the Kalmuck, whose bodyfollowed all the movements of the animalwith 'so much suppleness that one wouldhave fancied that the same thought possessedboth parties. The sweat poured in foamingstreams from the stallion's flanks, and hetrembled' in every limb. As for the rider,his coolness would have put to shame , themost accomplished horseman in Europe. Iuthe most critical moments he still found himself at liberty to wave his arms in token oftriumph ; and in spite , of the indomitablehumour of his steed, he had sufficient com-mand over it to keep it almost always withinthe circle of our vision. At a signal fromthe prince, two horsemen, who had kept asclose as possible' to the daring centaur,seized him with amazing quickness, andgalloped away with him before we had timeto comprehend this new manoeuvre.. Thehorse, Tor a momeut stupificd, soon made offat full speed, and was lost in the midst of theherd. ' These performances were repeatedseveral times without a single rider suf-fering' himself 'to be thrown. Thelateness of the hour recalled us to the pal-

ace, where a splendid dinner was preparedfor us. Two large tables were laid in twoadjoining rooms, and at the head of eachsat one of the princes. We took our placesat that of the elder brother, who did thehonors in the most finished style. Thecookery, which was half Russian, half!French, left, us nothing to desire as regardedthe choice ' or the savor of the dishes.Everything was served up in silver, and thewines of France and Spain, champagne es-pecially, were supplied in princely profusion.'

Our extracts have shown that this work,though in a considerable degree, as we havesaid, occupied with historical and statisticalaccounts, is not without the relief of lighterdescriptive passages which will be interest-ing to the general reader. llhawcmn.

THE POLYNESIAN.HONOLULU, SATURDAY, FEB. S.

OS" If the progress of Hawaii as a producing

country has in it something that reminds one ofthe tortoise, we nevertheless hope that in the

long run she will be well up with certain neigh-

boring places which start off like very bnres.

These islands are not, as some people assert, ata stand-stil- l, for although the articles of native

growth brought into market are not yet a tithenor even one hundredth of what they may be atsome day not very far distant, yet they are In-

creasing in quantity every year. This fact ought

to be known wherever an interest in Hawaii is

felt, to counteract an erroneous impression which

sometimes gets abroad that this country is, aspeople say, just so, and likely to remain just so.

We publish in paper a communicatedarticle full of statistics at thesrme time valua-

ble and encouraging. Amongst other thing, itreminds us of the almost nakedness of Hawaiias regards a population, compared with otherislands producing those very article of exportwhich we do or might produce. Certainly thename of Malthus ought to find no favor in theeyes of this generation, on the contrary weshould, one and all of us, feci the truth of Napo-

leon's remark that the greatest woman is shewho has brought most children into the world;and prospective honors ought to attend her who

even I ids ftir in this way. Cut children are notborn in an hour, nor are they, as we have heardwas the'ease with Adam and Eve, about thirtyyears old on the day of their birth, and readyinstanler to delve and spin. . The simplest rudi-

ments of political economy, therefore, teach usthat something must be done to prevent, at allevents to some extent, the lands from lying fallow for years and years to come. The idea ofbringing Chinese hither is with us a favorite one,forjudging from those already amongst us theyseem likely to prove industrious, honest, and in-

telligent, more given to opium a pacifier of thefeeling!", than to wine a kindler of the passions,and less fond of causing trouble than of makingmoney. ; Besides and beyond all which, they ap-

pear to get along admirably with the natives.Every man has his bias; we have ours, you haveyour; it is bias perhaps which makes us lookupon the last qualification as worth a hundredothers; for we could never encourage or know-

ingly approve of any policy that would lowerthe natives in their own eyes, (and bumbleenough they have been taught to think them-

selves!) or lead to the degradation of their be-

ing lorded over by others on their own soil thatGoo gave them and man ought to teach them toemploy,-improv-e, and enjoy. There is nothingutterly repulsive to us in the idea of the pure-bloode- d

natives becoming few as compared withthe half-white- aud the half-whit- es in their turnbeing ultimately exceeded in number by quarter-white- s,

and so tapering on to that point wheredistinction between the races would eventuallycease; but it is repugnant 'to every feeling ofours to imagine that the ,Hawaiians are to beseen in numbers for 'one or two more genera-tions and then missed suddenly and entirely.And if any thing could add another shade to sucha sombre picture, it would be that in their lastappearances they were to be degraded aud des-

pised and held in contempt by that rare whichpiques itself upon having introduced amongstthem Christianity and civilization with all theirblessings ami solaces.

But as we say, Hawaii is creeping along evenwithout our fricuds the Chinamen. It is knownat last, to speak generally, who the various landsbelong to and what is the nature of the title under which they are held. It is true there arestill minor difficulties in the way of settling orleasing some of them, but these obstacles arequite surmountable. As a proof we nay mention that within a few days several lands havebeen disposed of in fee-simpl- e, to persons foreigners by birth, as has been the case with many be-

fore. The prices were moderate and in some instances several years allowed to pay in; in fact theterms were liberal, and showed on the part of theGovernment a decided. endeavor to encouragethe growth of native produce, and convert idlelauds into active capital. All these lands are al-

ready or will be without delay put under culti-

vation; they were not bought o.i speculation.In the sale of these lands too, we think we see

traces of a policy essentially sound and entirelyin unison wilh that which we would advocate.We allude to a preference in favor of small far-

mers who themselves work and superintend intheir fields living on the spot, not only happyin their pursuits, but more fortunate than thosehusbandmen apostrophised by the classic poet,knowing themselves tube happy industrious,contented, and hard-worki- ng fellows. And wefancy we discover a still more decided preferenceiu favor of those who have married daughtersof the soil, heled into existence sundry stunlylittle half-white- s, destined inheritors of their ho-

nesty, their procnsity to laltor, and it may beof their saving; and collected aliout them theirwives relatives, subjecting them of course to thatsevere test of affection for connections by marriage 'No work no dinner.' These are the mento encourage: they not only by their operationscall for lubor, but by marrying natives they pro-duce laborers of the first quality, or those whowill be such. Instead of looking down upon ourworking classes as monkey-me- n and uncongenialcreations lhat ought to be described and hiredaccording to their aggregate numbers rather thantheir respective name, they instruct, encourage,care for, and elevate them.

For our own part, we must acknowledge ahigh respect for labor, we are partial to laborersand particularly to agriculturists; whatever theirminds may compass, their hands at least are ho-

nestly employed. This government must keepan ever anxious eye on the interests of the pro-

ducing classes, for they make the ballast of thenation, without which it will capsize at the first

apjearance of a storm; at the same time it is asnecessary to stow the ballast with care in orderto keep our little vessel in good trim or she willnever prove a lively sea-bo- at. Many circum-stances seem to indicate that a numerous popu-lation of pure Hawaiians fit for lalmr is not like-

ly to spring up. It is possible that by frequentintermarriages the natives may have all mergedinto one family, wilh the same blood flowingthrough all viens, and in that case it is not diffi-

cult to account to a certain extent for the smallnnmbcr of births; for man the highest of ani--

SUGAR.The following statistics may interest those

who have, or wish to have, sugar plantations on

the Hawaiian Islands.

It has been estimated that the average cost ofa cwt. of sugar in the following places is as

follows:

In Puerto Rico," Triuadad," Cuba;" Jamaica," Santa Lucia," Antigua," Barbadoes," Mauritius,

" East Indies,

from 9s. 2id. to" " 15 Hid

" " 22

The average fall these is about 16s. 9d. per

cwt. 112 lbs.

10s. 5d.

I have been assured that very good sugar,on these islands, may be produced at two cents

per lb., or say 9s. 5d. per cwt.; but supposing

three cents, it will only cost about 13s. 9d. per

cwt.There cannot, therefore, exist a doubt that

these islands, to the small extent they at presentproduce sugar, can compete, and that successful-

ly, with any sugar-growi- ng country in the world,

even with the scanty and precaiious labor thatthe natives afford.

But it must be obvious to every man of com

mon sense, and of the most ordinary powers ofcalculation, that the natives are by far too few in

number, even were they willing to work, which

they are not, to cultivate the land for their food

and any very moderate increase of sugar and

coffee plantations. Lands abound on the islands

fit for both purposes, and may be had. But

steady, faithful, laborers are not to he had; nor

is capital to be had. Before the islands progress,

means must be found to overcome these difficul-

ties. Nothing is more easy than to do so. Li-

beral grants of land will procure capital, andcapital will procure laborers from China who,in the East, are found to he invaluable cultiva-

tors. . In the Malayan Peninsula, by their skil-

ful culture, land yields from 2,500 to 3,000 lbs.

of sugnr per acre. Taking the minimum, thatis 2,500 lbs., at two cents per lb., the yield willbe $50 per acre, or $15,000 for 300 acres.

Chinese laborers in the Malayan Peninsula,have on an average three dollars per month aswages.

There would be no difficulty in procuringChinese lalwrerers, were proper means adoptedto obtain them. It is not unusual for from tento twelve thousand of them to arrive at Singa-

pore in only one season. Iudced the stupendousgreatness of Singapore, which only commencedin 1819, is chiefly owing to the wise policy ofthe British Government in encouraging the im-

migration of the Chinese.There are no more orderly or more respecta-

ble settlers on these islands than the Chinese.And it is observable that the offspring of theChinese by native wives are a fine, healthy race,and that iu industrious habits they resemble theirfathers.

On the 1st of this month, the second qualityof sugar in San Francisco was worth twelvecents, which at 2,500 lbs. per acre would be$90,000 for 300 acres, not counting freight, insurance, commission, etc.

On tho same date coffco was worth elevencents per pound, at which rate the 70,000 lbs.

which Messrs. Rhodes & Co. are underrtood tohave on band at Hanalei, would realize in SanFrancisco $7,700 gross.

Nature has given the Hawaiians a soil well

adapted for the cheap production of sugar and

coffee, of excellent quality. Providence has

opened for them sure and ample markets in Ore

gon and California. Are these advantages to be

lost for want of capital and labor? Is no effort

to be made to obtain them? Or "are we to trustto Providence for them too? '

Coffee in California, under the American fin

is imported duty free, under any other flag itpays 20 jer ce nt. vd valorem. Sugar pays 20per cent, whether under the American or a foreign flag.

Within the last few years, 63,000 laborershave been imported into tho Mauritius; 40,000,into British Guiana; and 20,969, into Trinidad.

The Mauritius has at present more than 200inhabitants to the square mile; Barbadoes has700; Grenada, 150; St. Vincents, 200; and Antigua, 350.

In the Hawaiian Islands the population is not13 to the square mile. Can there be a clearerdemonstration of the want of adequate lalmr todevclopc the Agricultural resources of these isl-ands than this, that, notwithstandins the denseimputation in the British colonies, the policy ofiuc uiiiiNi ifovurumiHii in miii 10 import morelaborers, to enable those colonies to compete inlowness of price with those foreign countrieswhere slave-lab- or is employed?

With 200 hundred inhabitants to the squaremile, as the Mauritius and St. Vincent, the po-pulation of the Hawaiian Islands would be1 ,218,000 souls; with 700 to the square mile, asUarltadoes, would be 4,263,000 souls!

Books, Stc. We would state for the information of our readers, that by the arrival of the" Seramporc," from Boston, there has been received a number of invoices of looks, consisting in part of religious, medical, law, anil miscellaneous works of various kinds; novels ofevery description, agricultural works, Stc. Also,a fine assortment of stationery. They will lie

COMMCNICATEO.

The writer in the 'Sandwich Islands' News',No. 13, of 25th instant, who considers it an as-

tonishing fact that the secular agents of theAmerican Missionaries on these islands shouldbe able to lend on mortgage a sum of $6,01)0,only shows that he is extraordinarily ignorant ofthe financial concerns of that Mission.

If he had taken any pains to inquire into thefacts, he could easily have ascertained that sincethe first.landing of the Missionaries, on the 3 letMarch, 1320, up to the end of 1941, they hadbeen supported at an expense of $608,H63. Dur-

ing the nine years from 133 to 18 1 1, the latterinclusive, their yearly support on average root$10,137, so that taking that average as the mea-

sure of their annual support from 1641 to 1819,their wholo support from 31st March ISiOto1st January IS 19 may be put down at $77J,9UJ,more or less.

This large amount has been almost whollyraised by voluntary contributions in the UnitedStates, and remitted to these islands, partly inmoney, and partly in goods, for the use of theMissionary families.

When their annual supplies arrive, the secularagents who receive them, and who deal out thesuplies as tbey are wanted, very frequently havea considerable amount in cash which they causpare for six, eight, or ten months, and theyfeel it to be their duty if they can securely lendout the money in the meanwhile at interest, soto do, that that amount of interest may go to theincrease of the General Missionary funds.

The secular agents were in this position afterreceiving their supplies in 1847, ami to obligean American bouse, on the 25th of May thatyear, advanced $6,017 on a note given thctn byanother merchant, (secured by a mortgage onthe premises referred to by the S. I. New) fal-ling due 15th January 1848. The note was not

paid at that period, ami though the secular agents

counted upon having their funds in fu tinw.ytlrather than press lbs said merchant, they bats,at bis solicitation, el tended the payment from

time to time.In the present circumstances of lb Island, alt

men who lend mney at the legal rateof inters-!- ,

to those w ho require it fur purpose of Lu ,

are nuW c briwCtctors. The good done in ibis

way by Protestant clergyman or a Catholic

priest would I jut as great as if done by a Pro

G R EAT BRITAIN AND SPA I N.Considering the great experience ami rrb briiy

of the Right Houorabie Lord Viscount Pabnerston, as a Diplomatist, the following correspondence will be read with interest:

VISCOCNT PtLIERtTOS TO M. ISTlilTf.Foreign Office, June 1 2, l$H.

Sir, Hating had the honor to rereite yourletter of the 7ib int., I now proceed to stale toyou the result oi the very attentive rotiil rtiiHi w hich her Majesty's government bae givento the allegation put for want by the Spanishgovernment with a view to justify the coursewhich they have pursued towards her Majesty'sminister at the court of Madrid. Hut before I

enter into an examination of those matters Iwish to say a few word upon what hss beenstated by yourself ami by the Duke of Sotomayor, uhmi the sulject uf the application ofthe Spanish government for Sir llenry Bulwer'srecal. The Doke of Sitomayor, in treating ofthat matter, seems to argue as if every govern-ment was entitled to obtain the recal of any foreign minister, whenever, for reasons of iu own,it might wish lhat he should be removed; butthis is a doctrine lo which I ran by no meansassent. It is quite true, as said by the Duke ofSitomayor, that tho law of nations and interna-tional usage may in-rm- a government lo makesuch demand; but the law of nations ami international usage also entitle the government towhom such a rcuuest insy be prt lrrred to decline to comply with it. Ami there are obviousreason why this should lie. Diplomatie agentsare appointed to guard the interest of the goveminent ami nation which they rejiresent; andthe performance of their duties may often cookpel them to make rvrcentatio and demandsinconvenient and distasteful to the governmentto which they are accredited. But if iheir con-tinuance al their wt were to depend Umhi thegood will and pleasure of that government, in-stead of resting within the discretion of thegovernment of their own country, il is manifestthat men mindful of their professional characterwould decline an employment in w bit b a firmIterformance of their duty might kad to a reeal,the causes of w ha h it might be difficult lor thempuMicly to explain; while men weaker in mindami less firm in purpose might be cipoeed to thetemptation of flinching from their duty, for fearof injuring their professions! roiect. Ami ifthis be true as a general proposition, it is ee-ciall- y

true in regard to the t!iJomaik: relaiMHisof Great Britain with Spain; for, on the onehand, the British government and nation haveunsatisfied claims upon Spam, ami the course ofevent in ?pain, n given nelo political differ-ences between the two governments: so that ithas often been the duly of the Brileth rejfesen- -

luiiTc io Mce mmscii in a jMmiiion not suitableto the views ami wishes of the Sauish minis-ters of the day; ami, on the other hand, thesuccession of ministers in Spain ha oi Uleyears bot.n o rapid, and changes of governmenthave been there so frequent, that if II were lo beunderstood that tlW British minister al Msdridheld his office by no steadier tenure tbau thepleasure of the Sauish minister of the day, theBrit inli government might be evpn?d to frequentrepetition of such demands. I do hot mean lonay thui if a foreign government is abb) lo stalelo the govermiM-n- t of her Majesty grave ai.dweighty reason why the British minister accred-ited to such government should be removed, herMajesty's governon-t.- t wool. I not feel it to e

their duty to lake such repeesenUiMHi into theirserious consideration, ami lo weigh them withall the attention wbah they ought oesrrve. Butit must rest with tin: ISriimh government in su ha ease to determine whether there is, or is smn,any just cause of complaint sgnwt the Brilihdiplomatic agent; ami whether the dignity andMerest of Great Britain would best he Con-

sulted by withdrawing him, or by maintaininghim at his xtot. Now, with re-sr- d l the ap-plication made by you, by order of your govern-ment, first verbally ami then in writing, for therecal of Sir llenry Bulwer, I have lo stale thatno grounds were aseigtied for that applicationwhich appeared to me to afford any just reasonwhy it should have born complied with, if iihad been persevered iu, ami if an answt r lo itbad been required. But you will lemtmberlhat twenty-- ! vur hours after joa bad sent in tome the note in w btru thai apj4icaiton had lenmade, you came to me of your own accord, amistated that you bail that day receive. I instruc-tion Irom your goternmeot which, if Ihey hadreached you aonner, would have prevented youfrom tusking the application; that upon ourdiscussing what course it would be best umlersuch circumstance for you la pursue, I look theliberty of suggesting, that instead of m-ki- ng

any further written evNtHiiunicatiu) in accord-ance witb your fresh instructions, you shouldtake back your note, which I then tendered toyou for that purpose; ami upon your adoringthat suggestion, ami carrying your note awaywith you, it wan agreed between we ibat thistransactien should m considered as if it had mtaken plaee. Upon this matter, then, I wonldbeg you to observe, that the Spanish govern

ment, of it own accord, rnt in ;n 7withdraw it appbestioe; and ikitMMt were written a few !) nw Wen it bad sent you iftotrecimapplication; ami rtmstJiwentty MsrvJJipisss could not sre fieoi aythe spplstrfM would not I cwmust have sprung fmn a ctmum Jlives by wbKbthe imrtrvctions .t

Sir Henry llulwer, to whah the

THEloregomg eorre-jMimlen- ce refers, tho LondonKxanimer,' of llh June haa lhfi foIIowi

leading article: fTI1F. SPANISH QUARREL.

IJoth Sir Unlrt Pea,! nn.l Lord Mahon admit"at the services and en?a2etncnts of Kn;lanil tol'in entitled our Covernmentto proffer advice,I'Ut both object to the manner in which LordI almerston exhortation were conveyed in thepitch rejected by the Duke of Sotomayor.

"n,e wa? s wrc, the raw material of.Vu-,-

, wanting the working up and glazing topive it smoothness. It was a repetition in ab-Mr- act

of the despatch of July '46, which an-lear- eil

in the published correspondence relatingto the Siatnsh mnrriaffes., and which was highlyndm.reil and npprove.1 by all the friends of Spainand cmmI ove-ntne- nt.

The short resume of the paper had the abrupt-ness necessarily pertaining to such sketchy

laying down the dry lines of conduct,Without any of the eircumflexions nnd flourishesor ceremony; but let this point be made the mostor, let an mh-- h ibty or rudeness lie charged, andit is yet wide of the question between the twocountries; for the ipiarrel of tho Spanish Minis-try was not with manner but with matter, notwith Ihe sty le of the despatch, but with the sub-stance, the interference in domestic affairs. TheDuke of Sotomnyor did not 6ny you nave tnencht to tender advice, but not to tender it rude-ly. He raised no question alwut the courtesies,he ieremptorily denied Kngland's riht to offercounsel. She is tit liberty to volunteer blood andtreasure for the maintenance of the Spanishthrone, but not w arnings to avert calamities cre-ating occasion for her aid, or making the aid shehas already afforded worse than a wasteful sac-rifice. Spain says you shall give your stores andthe help nf your llects, but not your counsel.W c deiend upon the money of your capitalists,and we deHnd upon your munitions of war andyour ships; but as regards all other interferenceswe are ns iiuh-enleii- t as you arc, and will flingback your lectures in your face.

To juiL--e fairly of the Spanish dispute, wemust look at its actual trrounds. not at whatmi;ht or eonM or should have lieeii the trroundsIt is not for Sir Roliert P-- e and Lord Mahon tofind fault with a want of bl indness that has notaffronted the ceremonious Spaniard, who is sointent on in oitenee oi the .interference that hehas not ?iven a w ord or a thought to the mannerof it. Now that interference, Sir Robert fairlyami candidly pronounces justifiable, and whyuoes lie men tiarp on a mere incidental cirrumstance of it which has proved quite immateriain el lecf.

II Ior.l I'aliniTston hart intended the note tobe shown, ho would of course have wordedin more sugared phrase, but as the quarrel hasnot been on that score, but on another, unitingSir Robert Peel vtith LorJ Palmcrston, to whatporMse does former censure an incidentw huh has Iwen without consequences? As thelaw innxim hath it, tolrntinon Jit injuria; andit the punctilious Spanianl does not take umbrage at an abrupt style, whose affair can it beto complain f

The charge against Iord Palmerston has liccnthat he was inn rude liefnre a rebuff and too civiafter; but Sir Roliert Peel has complicated theindictment by adding a count for an clalmratedjobation after the civility. We believe that thepublic generally would have lieen better pleasedif there had not lieen the disavowal of offenceon the part of the Criti.--h Minister, and if hehad merely conltned himself to justifying the tendcr of advice. Rut here again Sir Robert Peeis more Spanish than the Spanianl, for the rebuke conteved, as he says, in the longest sentence in the Kn;lih language, pave no offencewhatever, and the whole affair was presentlyafterwards brought to a close, and amicable rclatious restored in profession at least. And thiswas not an end of a first act, but the JinaU of aseparate and distinct mock heroic piece. Whatfollowed wa altogether a different plot, and having only this eonni'Ctiou with the antecedent performance, that its invention was encouraged byth success ot the ttrst.

The Spanish Ministry thought England injeopardy it fancied that we had a revolution onour hands, and that the time was come when itmight pay us off in a certain unacceptable coinfor all that we had done for Spain. The lionw as reported sick, and it was the chosen momentfor safe affront. I he question of interferencewa at an eml, onraMinister's advice had lieenspurned, and the former status restored. Thestep was to give us a taste of interference inus- -iiri.iun the functions of our (iovernmeut, anddismissing a Rritish F.nvov, ifer alia, on theC round of the Rritish Parliament's and the British Press's disapproval of his conduct

fhe Spanish liovernment docs not, however,obligingly dismiss Rritish servants who have incurred the displeasure of the Lntish Press andand Parliament without some reasons of its own.The service has not lieen quite disinterested;and it has not lieen performed solely to contentour Parliament and Press, and to save our .Ministry trouble or dissraee.

"The misdeeds charged against Sir H. Dulwcrare that he lavished gold to bribe troops tomutiny.

That he paid for the assassination of a Generalolhcer.

That he sent out two gentlemen to market, asit were, to buy revolutions.

That he had to do with a very suspicious 120gun ship that came to Carthagena asking ques-

tions.That he had to do also with two vessels

seen on the southern coast suspiciously manoiuvrins. and rvvnoscd to lie laden w ith arms.

That the advent of all these ships at the pre-

cise lime and places had lieen foretold ly spieson Sir Henry Duhvcr, thus proving bis comnlicitr.

That, in consequence of these aets. the pres-

ence of Sir Henry liulwer had heroine so obnoxious that his safety could no longer be guaranteed.

Now, as we have already remarked, there isnot ..ne of the.e diaries that does not bear thestamp of clumsy, Mupid falsehood upon the faceof it. Could they have Ik"cii true, the accusationwould have flown higher and farther than theperson of the IJritish Knvoy, and assailed theKniish (oivoriutieiit which alone could haveplaced the means at his disposal alleged to havelcen so treacherously used.

Whether any gold was found upon the muti-

neer, and w hence it came if it was found, is notascertainable; but the apparition of the line-of-bat- tle

ship allows of inquiry and proof, and itturns out to have lieen the Trafalgar touching atCarthagena on her way, not to aid and abet aninsurrection under the direction of Sir H. Uui-

wer, but home to I'ngland according to Adini-A- s

to tiic two vessels from Gibraltar, supposed to pe laden with arms, aud whichmaiiu-uvcni- l suspiciously u icm, no ui.u

rmll left Gibraltar; and the most charitable so-

lution is that tho Spanish authorities werescared by phantom ships like the Flying Dutch-

man.Ami uon such silly cock-aud-bu- ll stories as

these the ignominious expulsion of the IJritishMinister was grounded ! What further revela-

tions, of a like kind no douU, the emissary oraccredited slanderer sent over here may havehad to make is not yet know n, but if Sir HenryItulwer, iMis-ess- ed of the wealth of Crcrsus hadbeen guilty of the crimes and machinations al-

leged, assassinations, treasonable conspiracies,etr--, the course of the Spanish Govcnimertisniil.1. nevert heloss. have been unjustifiable; representation to his Government being the regu-

lar and becomintr proceeding; and meanwhile, ifthe Envoy's jiersonal safety woui t nave ueen in

imtiI, thc'Spanish Ministry might have mustered a

diilosxiphv enough to leave that resjionsibility to

sir II Uuiwer, who declared his readiness to .

undertake it, beir anxiety for the security ofman denounced as an assassin in their papers

could not lie of anv inconvenient intennty.The opinion of men of all parties ,011 Mr.

Rankes motion censure was fair and honora-

ble. We have taken exception to one objection

of Sir Kobcrt Peel aud Lord Mahon, but the

POLYNESIAN. SATURDAY, FEBRUARYgeneral tenor of the speeches of both was just,and becoming the occasion. Lord John Russellspoke with excellent spirit and argumentativeforce, and completely absolved Sir H. liulwerfrom blame, as did also Iird Palmerston. In-deed, how ever views differed as to some passagesof the quarrel, all united in extolling the conductand services of Sir II. Rulwer. Ownc nmniaOona dicere, ct lav dare, was the common consentof the House. The whole responsibility theGovernment has taken on itself; and it is a res-ponsibility it can bear without damage or detri-ment. We will not say that if the whole affairwere to be acted over again there are not passa-ges which would lie differently managed, a des-patch more gently couched, or distincter direc-tion- s

about the method of using it, but in themain Lord Palmerston has lieen justified in hiscourse; and on the other side, in the crowningoutrage and the motives assigned for it theSpanish Government has put itself dead in thewrong.

Out of evil will come good if our Ministertakes this occasion of shaking the dust of thePeninsula from his feet, and leave it to manageits own contentions, and adjust its distracted af-fairs as best it may. As the Quadruple Allianceentitled England to offer couusel. the denial ofthat right virtually annuls the alliance. Theargument justifying our interference involves thedissolution of our engagements upon the denialof our right to interfere. To lie sure, we shallbe the losers in the debtor and creditor accounr,for our return is the common one of those w hohave the lot to set a licggar on horseback. Tilltruth and honor return to the Spanish counselswe can Ivear the absence of an Envoy at theCourt of Madrid, and dispense w ith the pres-ence of a Spanish Minister in Mean-while, the Narvaez cut-thro- at Ministry will haveto find some other solution of enterprises againstits existence than the machinations of the terri-ble Englishman whose name is to them in diplo-macy what that of Drake was in war to their

A RECIPE FOR MAKING TIME STAND STILL.

T W. P. PR A ED.

Dear Tom ! if you would learn ihe way

To quaff life's true elixir.To keep your carls from growing gray,

And, as joy flies, to fix her:Though scholar in do modern schools,

Skilled but in old romances,

I've yet a few rulesTo check grim Time's advances:

And this the first If day aod night

You'd shun the dotard's bold,

'Keep all about your Conscience right,'

And then you'll not grow old.

And never mind, wbate'er they tell,Dear Tow, of modem uses, . ,

Be sure you'll do just twice as well- To slkk to old abuses;

So pay your taxes love your king,Howe'er our sages bore you,

Take opening med'eines in the spring,

As your fathers did bofore you;

Don't lend your razor nor your hack,' And when you lend your gold,Be sure yon dont expect it back,

And then you'll not grow old !

And stem howe'er yon play your partIn Lite's more sober stages,

Keep one small corner in yonr heartFor boyhood's sunny pages;

' Don't cut a friend because he's poor,

But pause before you choose him;And when a man has shut the door,

Don't let hi friend abuse him :

Sell off your claret if yon must .

But keep yourtelf unsold,

Then live upon a laugh, or crust,A nd still you'll not grow old !

And when to dissipate your gloom.You wander down, some even,

And sit within the long brick roomsince old Saint Stephen,

If you should hear a sacred name

First taught by her who bore you,And your father's ancient faith and fame

Denounced as teanT before yon,Don't fancy that we're turned to Turks,

But just go home unfold"

Some page of Pitt's, or Fox, or Burke's,

And then you'll grow not old !

And welcome, Tom, on heath or hill,Each bright green spot may greet you ;

Call Hope delusion, if yon will,1 But let her let her cheat you !

Dont rob Life's roses of their bloom,Though Benthamites deride yon

Don't sit within a childless gloom, .Though Marttnean may chide you ;

But trust, when bright things round you die,Something our mothers told

Of hopes and homes beyond the sky,And then you'll not grow old !

Anecdote op the Stage. Mr. JohnPalmer, well known as an actor on the Lon-don boards, terminated his dramatic careerand his life on the Liverpool stage, in 1798,On the morning of the day on which he wasto have performed the 'Stranger', he received the distressing intelligence of the deathof his second son, a youth in whom his dearest hopes were centered, and whose amiablemanners had brought into action the tendered affections of a parent. The play in consequence of this was deferred; and duringme interval ne bad in vain endeavored tocalm the agitation of his mind. The successwith which he performed the part called fora second representation, in which he fell asacrifice to the poignancy of his own feelings,and in which the audience were doomed towitness a catastrophy which was truly melan-choly. In the fourth act, Baron Steinfortobtains an interview with the Stranger,whom he discovers to be his old friend. Heprevails on him to relate the cause of his se-

clusion from the world: in this naration thefeelings of Mr. Palmer were visibly muchagitated; and at the moment he mentionedhis wife and children, having uttered, (as inthe character) 0 God! O Clod! theie is an-other and a better world!' he fell senselesson the stage. The audience supposed for amoment that his fall was nothing more thana studied addition to the part; but seeinghim carried off in deadly stiffness, the utmostastonishment and terror became depicted inevery countenance. The lifeless corpse wasconveyed from the stage into the scene-roo-m.

Medical assistance was immediately procur-ed; his veins were opened, but they yieldednot a single drop of blood; and every othermeans of rcsusitation was had recourse towithout efTect. The gentlemen of the facul-ty, finding every endeavor ineffectual, formal-ly announced his death.

Hard Work. It's hard work to go uphill without leaning forward and it's hardwork for a 'neutral' editor to speak of poli-tics without leaning one way or the other.

It's hard work to make a dinner of grapeshot, unless they are well boiled; and it's

Jiard work to digest a fool's argumentunless it be soaked in something like reason.

It's hard work to look at the sun withoutwinking; and it's hard to look at some girlswithout feeling inclined to wink.

It's hard work to do nothing, and havemuch of it on hand ; and it's hard work tocollect a debt of one who says, 'I'll pay it

It's hard work to squeeze cider out of abrickbat; and it's hard work to scratch outideas for a paragraph after being on a spreefor twenty-fo- ur hours.

It s hard work to hold lightning by thetail; and it's hard work to stem the torrentof a woman's will.

It's hard work to refuse a good offer: andit's harder still to be compelled to accept aoaa one.

It's hard work for many people to live; anddoubly hard for some to die.

Retort. A little lawyer appearing asevidence in one of the courts, was asked bya gigantic counsellor what profession he wasof; and having replied he was an attorney,'You a lawyer? said Brief, 'why I can putyou in my pocket! 'Very likely you may,rejoined the other, 'and if you do, you willhave more law in your poc&ef than you everhad in your htadP

A Quaker's Letter. Friend John, I desire thee to be so kind as to go to one ofthose sinful men in the flesh, called attor-

neys, and let hint take out an instrument. with a seal thereunto, by means whereof wemay seize the outward tabernacle of GeorgeGreen, and bring him before the lamb-ski- n

men at Westminster, and teach him to do ashe would be done by. Thy friend, R. G.

THEGrammatical Smoking. As smoking is

an innocent indulgence, and as is customarywith people of all classes to relate the newsof the day with cigars in their mouths, thefollowing system is recommended:

A single puff serves for a comma,Puff, puff, a semicolon;Puff, puff, puff, a colon:Six puffs, a period.A pause with the cigar kept in the mouth

represents a dasn longer or snorter in con

tinuance.With the under lip raise the cigar almost

asrainst the nose for an exclamation! and toexpress great emotion, even to the sheddingof tears, only raise, as before, the cigar tothe end of the nose. For an interogation itis only necessary to open the hps and drawthe cigar round the corner of the mouth.

Taking the cigar from the mouth and shaking the ashes from the end, is a conclusionof a paragraph.

And throwing it into the fire is a final andstylish pause.

Never begin a.story

.with

aa half-smok-ed

cigar; tor to light another whue conversingis a breach of politeness.

A Religious Courtship. A young gentleman happened to sit at church in a pewadjoining one in which sat a young lady, forwhom he conceived a sudden and violentpassion, was desirous of entering into courtship on the spot; but the place not suiting aformal declaration, the exigency of the casesuggested the following plan: He politelyhanded the fair lady a bible open, with a pinstuck in the following text 2d epistle ofJohn v. ota: 'And now 1 beseech thee lady,not as though 1 wrote a new commandmentunto thee, but that which we had from thebeginning, that we love one another.' Shereturned it, pointing, Ruth ii. 10th: 'Thenshe fell on her face and bowed herself to theground and said unto him, why have I foundgrace in thine eyes, that thou shouldst takeknowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?'He returned the book pointing to the 12thverse of the epistle of John: 'Having manythings to write unto you I would not writewith paper and ink, but I trust to come andspeak face to face.' From the above interview a marriage took place the ensuingweek.

That Taller Dog'. We should like tohear Dan Marble tell the story about theYankee who lost his yellow dog. Approach-ing a wood-chopp- er by the wayside, theYankee accosted him:

'Mister, have you seen a yaller dog a ewinealong

.here, about a year,

- a year and a half.or two years oldr

'Yes, replied the chopper, supposing thex anK.ee was quizzing him, '1 saw a vallerdog going along here, about a year, a yearand a half, or two years old, about an hour,an hour and a half, or two hours ago, andj uu it uuu in ui auuui a uuie, a. nine ana ahalf, or two miles ahead, with a tail aboutan inch, an inch and a half, or two inchesong,

Hold on that'll do, stranger. I calculate you are into me about a feet, a feet anda half, or two feet.'

Saving Time. A clergyman, who hadconsiderable of a farm, as was generally thecase in our forefathers' days, went out to seeone ot bis labores, who was ploughing in thefield, and found him sitting on his plough,resting his team. 'John,' said he 'would itnot be a good plan for you to have a stubscythe here, and be hubbing a few busheswhile the oxen are resting?' John, with acountenance which might have well becomethe divine himself, instantlv returnedWould it not be well, sir, for you to have a

swingling-boar- d in the pulpit, and when theyare singing, to swingle a little flax?' Thereverend gentleman turned on his henlaughed heartily, and said no more about

hubbing bushes.

A Jee-le-r. A surgeon and a lawvernaa very good leeling lor each other, andthe following dialogue took place: 'If 'asked the surgeon, a neighbor's dog destroysmy uucks, can i recover damages by law?certainly, replied the lawyer, 'pray what

are the circumstances? 'Why, sir, yourdog, last night, destroyed two of my ducks.''Indeed! then you certainly can recover thedamages; what is the amount? I'll instantlydischarge it.' 'Four shillings and six-pen- ce,

chuckled the surgeon. 'And my fee for at-

tending and advising you is six and eight-penc- e,'

responded the attorney; "and unlessyou immediately pay the same, my conductwin be star-abl- e.

When aman values himself overmuch, they comparerum to -- a rat tailing into a scale, and weighing itscll. Uverdoing a thing, they callhunchback inakinz a bow.'

absence r Mind. Various editorsthroughout the country have been vying witheach other, to see which would fabricate thebest case of absent-mindedne- ss. Among allthat we have seen, none has been noticedbetter that the following: 'A young ladycarried a letter to the post-offic- e, droppedherself into the box instead of the letter, anddid not discover the mistake till the clerkasked her if she were Mingle.'

Betting. A fellow was walking througha swamp, and came upon a broad ditch.'I'll bet you two cents you cant iumn ovrthat ditch,' said he to himself. 'Done,' saidthe other side of his mouth, and over heleaped. I won that bet, any how,' said he.'Now, IH bet you two cents you cant iumnback again.' 'Done,' said the second voiceagain, and he jumped but fell at the bottomof the mud. 'Nothing lost and nothing gain-ed,' he muttered, crawling up the bank; 'thataccount's even.
