TUB POOH MAS TO III9 DEAD CHILD.
Yea, lie thou there, my little one,
The death dew 'a on thy brow,
Thy eyea are closed to flower and sun,
Thy pulse ia quiet now.
No more thoii'll ask, my famished boy,
For bread with waiting cry,
When I'd have given my flesh with joy,
Hut bread I could not buy.
Poor child ! thy sharp, cold features Fpeak
Of pain, and want, and care,
(1ft did the tear drops on thy cheek
Freeze in the biting air.
But colder than the keenest wind,
Were human hearts to thee,
Because, though claiming human kind,
Thy lot was poverty.
The proud ones say 'tis heaven's award
They but kind heaven obey,
To keep the gilts of nature barr'd
From those who cannot pay.
My child, 'tis sadly sweet to think
Thou'lt never hunger more,
Nor gaze with wistful eye, yet shrink
From bread's inviting store.
But, oh ! my faded (lower, for this
Was thy young being given,
To meet with nought but wretchedness,
And frowns from earth and heaven ?
Was this the pledge of cradled smile
That spoke the happy dream,
And gave me, worn with pain and toil,
Of passing bliss a gleam ?
And yet, mayhap, thy fate is bless'd
And I should rather joy
That thy young heart the woes have miss'd
That wait the poor man's boy.
The cold repulse, the galliiiL' sneer,
That drives to theft and shame ;
The niad'ning thought the soul that sear,
The scom'd and blighted name.
O, yes ; or haply worse than all,
Thou might'st have lived to be
A servile, crouching, flattering thrall
At some wealth-dagon's knee
Than this, thy eyes I'd rather close
On all thou might'st have seen,
All stricken through with many woes
As thy young heart hath been.
The Rev. I)u. llwrs, of Hartford, having
just returned from his visit to Greece, Turkey,
Syria, the Holy Land, &c, a tier an absence of
nine months, gave an interesting account of
the condition of religion in throe countries, on
Sunday evening to an overflowing audience
in the Centre Church. He returned, he said,
to this hind of pure religion, with fur deeper
convictions of the inappreciable blessings we
enjoy, and ot the great importance of preserving
and extending the influence of our institutions,
than he had ever before experienced. lie gave
anatlecting account of the miserable condition
of the countries he had visited, where the most
corrupt forms of religion prevailed, Greece,
especially, was impoverished by its perverted
Christianity, as may be interred from the fact,
that there are more fast days in her calendar
than there are days in the year ! The Creeks,
vain, superstitious race of bigots, extremely
jealous of foreigners, prove so intractable that
the American and British mission societies
have resolved to withdraw their efforts and di
rect them to sections of more promise. The is
lands and countries of the Mediterranean, bles
sed with the greatest natural advantages, are
all declining in population. He could hardly
believe himself, as he now looked around, in
the same planet that he trod in Turkey, Greece,
and Syria. He was often led to repeat during
his journey, the saltation of America is the
hope a the world. It we would evangelizo the
world, we mu6t save our own country. And
be brought back from this visit to the Oriental
Churches, a warmer esteem towards all deno
minations, and he thought such a vist a certain
cure for narrow mindeducssat home.
Sinutlar Phenomenon. All at once, on
Wednesday afternoon last, a well on the pre
mises of M. Jacob Stevens, in Lyme, in this
county, commenced overflowing and still con
tinues with undiminished force, it is estimat
ed that the discharge is at least sixty hogsheads
per minute ! The water is cold and very clear.
We learn that the well has been dug and used
for many years. To enable our readers to judge
something of the projectile force of the water,
it ia said that good sized stones thrown into the
well are quickly ejected. Tho redundancy of
water, overflowing the adjoining land, is doing
much damage to the crops in tlio vicinity.

TUB SOUTH WEST,
The following are extracts from a letter pub
lished in the N. Y. Journal ofCommerce.
Iiato.i Kot'oR stands on the first high ground
on the Mississippi above New Orleans, being
one hundred and thirty miles above that place.
The Louisiana Stato Prison is located here, as
also extensive U. S. Barracks, which at pre
sent contains two companies U. S. troops.
The State Prison contains 1 convicts, who
are employed in various mechanical occupa
tions, the most prolitable of which is tho pro
duction of coarse cotton and woollen goods suit
able for negro clothing, made by machinery
brought out from tho north ; witlis;eani engine
to drive it, &c. The manufacture of this de
scription of goods, which finds a ready sole for
cash, fur all that can he made, will yield in Iau
isiana from 10 to .")() per cent, clear profit;
even when worked by slave laNir. It may be
considered more prolitable than any other busi
ness in the state. The wonder is that it has
not been heretofore more extensively engaged
in.
Pi-car Estates Owing to the protective
duty on sugar, and its consequent advance in
price, and the tall in the value of cotton, a great
many large plantations heretofore planted in
cotton have been changed into sugar estates.
I know of three in this neighborhood that have
been thus changed ; two of which I visited yes
terday. One, the estate of the Messrs. P s,
cast two miles of this village, formerly made
about 2(K) bales of cotton, this year it will pro
bably make from l.'ifl to ISO hogshead of sugar.
Dr. P., a friend of mine, owns a splendid estate
directly opposite this village, on the right bank
of the Mississippi Hivcr, for which some five or
six years since, he paid 120,000 dollar?. On
this estate he made about 500 bales of cotton.
This year he has a most splendid crop of sngar
cane growing on it. He will probably produce
this year 4."i0 hogshead of sugar, besides molas
ses. There is another estate a few miles be
low, on the left bank of the river, which made
about 100 bales of cotton. This year it is all
in sugar cane.
Some estates will yield six hogsheads of su
gar to the hand. In favorable years the ave
rage may be set down at five hogsheads. One
hand can cultivate from 5 to (1 acres in cane,
and at the same time raise sufficient corn to
support him in bread. Sugar at 5J to 0 cents
is equal to cotton at 10 and 11 cts. per lb.
It requires two years to change a cotton
plantation into a sugar estate. The first year
all they can do is to raise sufficient ratoons seed
cane with which to plant the crop the second
year. The machinery including sugar house,
strum engine for grinding tho cane, and ket
tles for boiling, cost according to tho extent of
the crop to be gathered, from 5 to 0,000.
There is often injury done to the cane by
frost, between the loth of October and the 'JOlh
of November. This is now measurably obviat
ea y tlic planters, try the system ot "win row
ing,"as it is called. When they discover that
frost is likely to intervene, they immcd alely
cut down the cane, piling it on the drills were
'hey cut it, and cover over the stalks with the
leaves and tops of the cane, which prevents the
stalks from freezing, w hich never fails to sour
the juice, and render it unfit for conversion in
to sugar. In line, cold weather, the cane w ill
keep a longtime under cover, and can be ground
up as desired.

such beautiful residences, and such a highly
improved and cultivated country, as that bonl
dering the Mississippi, from Point Coupe dow n
to New Orleans, a distance of aliout l."0 miles
The private dwellings in most instances, are
beautifully and tastefully arranged, being em
bowered amnio', beautiful shade trees, and sur
rounded by the richest and most enchanting
flowering shrubbery. These shores seem to be
the very home ot the mucking b,rd, and others
of rich and beautiful plumage ; while the sugar
fields stretch out like vast carpets of the richest
green. Even the negro dwellings are general
ly neat looking cottages, set up from the ground,
built of good framed timber, well weatherboard
ed and shingled. They arc painted white, set
in rows, with shude trees in trout, ami altoge
ther have a neat e fleet, Each double cottage
has a good brick chimney in the centre, and
each house contains one .family. When the
fine family mansion, the large julo of white
painted brick sugar houses, and rows of white
cottages for tho residences of the negroes, are
viewed from the river, each estate presents the
appearance of a pretty village, freo from the
outbkirt rubbish and old houses which usually
surroui.d ordinary villages. The capital invest
ed in these sugar estates is immense, and will
probably ba increased.

season with the mocking bird. The trees and
shrubs near the house contained ncits of young
birds which the parents termed to be guarding
with great vigilance. An unlucky dog happen
ed to pass near their location, when the female
mockingbird flew down upon its back, struck
her talons in his hair, and commenced pecking
him with her beak, with crcat viiror, at
tho same time screaming and flapping her
wings, which greatly alarmed the cur, who ran
oil at the top of his speed.
PARISIAN BANKER.
M. Lafitti:, the great Parisian banker, who
recently died possessed of immense wealth,
rose to fortune from an humble station in life.
A foreign journal by a lute arrival contains the
following slory of his first appearance in Paris:

Thii gentleman had just taken possession of
the hotel of Mad le. Gurmard, which hud been
put up to lottery by that lady and won by Ihu ;
fortunate hanker. It w as to thiscliartning ha- j
bitation, which has since been demolished, that ;
M. Ijafiltcpaid his first visit in Paris, and, as it '
were, took his first step in tho Porisiun world. ;
I'lie young provincial poor and modest, timid !
and anxious entered by that gateway which
had witnessed so many of the gaities ot the last '
century. lie was introduced into the boudoir
of the danscuse, then become the cabinet of
the banker, and their modestly stated the object i
of his visit.
" 'It is impossible for me to admit you into ;
my establishment at least for the present,' re- ;
plied the banker : 'all my offices have their full
complement. If! require any one at a future
time, I will see what can be done ; but i:i the
meantime I advise you to seek elsewhere, for 1
I do not expect to have a vacancy for some 1
tune. 1
TVith a disappointed heart the young as-pi- ,
rant for employment lett the office, and while J
with a downcast look he traversed the court- ,
yard he stooped to pick up a pin which lay in
his path, and which he carefully stuck in the'
lippcl of his coat. Little did he think that this ;
trivial action was to decide his future fu'.e, but :
so it was. j
1' roin tlic wiiulow ot lus cabinet iW. l'erro
gaux had observed the action of the young man
The Swiss banker was one of those keen ob- j
servers of human actions who estimate the value j
of circumstances apparently trifling in them-
selves, and which would pass unnoticed by the
majoiity ul mankind. He wus delighted with
the conduct ot the young stranger. In this
simple action he saw the revelation of a charac
ter ; it was a guarantee of a love of order and
economy, a certain pledge of a 11 the qualities
w hich should bo possessed by a good financier. j
A young man who would pick up a pin could I
not fail to make a pood clerk, merit the conti-
deuce of his employer, and attain a high degree
of prosperity.
In the evening of the saino day M. Ivifiltc
received tho following note Iroin M. Perregaux :
'A place is made for von in mv office, which
you may take possession of to-morrow morning.'
The anticipations of the banker were not de
coived. The young La fi Repossessed every de
sirable quality, and even more than was at first ,
expected. From simple clerk he soon rose to
be cashier, then partner, then head of the first
banking house in Pans, and afterward in rapid
succession, a deputy and president of the Coun-
cil of Ministers, the highest office t which a
citizen can aspire.
On w hat a mile does the fortune of a man
sometimes depend. Rut for the simple inci
dent ot the pin, M. Iitilte would, perhaps, ne
ver have entered into the house of -M. Perre
gaux ; another employer might not have open
ed to him so wide a field of action, und his ta
lents und intelligence would not have led to
such magnificent results.
Little did Perregaux think thai tho hand
which would pick up u piu was that of a mm,
generous to prodigality in doing good a hand
always open to succor honorable misfortune.

A London journal speaks in the following
terms of the impression mode on the Emperor
by the manners of the British Court :
The desjtotic Czar saw with amazement and
distaste the stiftuess and rigid etiquette of the
English Court. What most struck and scan
dalized the Prince of semiburbarians was the
want of homngc to tho sex, ladies being kept
standing in the persence of Prince Albert,
waiting on him like servants, and backing out
before him. Ho found that the spirit of gal
lantry, w hich has its decorum every where el-c,
was not allowed to grace tho highest circle.
The superiority of rank to the soul of manners
was what the Czir could not understand. lie
consist with the true dignity of a Prince ; he
could not comprehend how observances that
would be unmannerly in any other sphere could
exalt a particular station. It seemed to him
that a position w as degraded by effeminacy
which required of women the houiHge to a man
that men ordinarily take u pride in paying
the sex.

THK IDI.K FAMILY.
An KMrn Apologue
TRANSLATED FROM THE ARABIC, BT A. "l. fc.
When Constantinople was in its ienithas the
Turkish Metropolis, there resided, in one of tho
villages on the banks of the beautiful Rospho
rns, a very poor family, the decendants of an I-
talian soldier who had died there, returning
from the Crusades. This family consisted of j
the man, whose name was Payarotti, his wile j
Gertrude, ami two children, a daughter who
was very beautiful, and was called Isabella,
and a sou named Isltonello. They were all '
very little and lazy, so much so that the mother I
and daughter could not I induced to cam any
money, nor even to make their own clothes, ! Fwr """"y wn" t,:'n 10 n. whic" V-3

tie was struck with her exceeding beauty, and i
when he returned to his palaco, he sent to her
a black Eunuch, with several pieces of silks
and sntins to make dresses. As the servant
gave them to Isabella he said, "Finish sewing
them as fast as possible, for tbe Sultan intends
paying you a visit, and if you please him, may
hap, he rniy make you his wife," "Oh yes,"
answered she, "a stitch here and a stitch there,
and they will soon he done.'' The Eunuch re
turned to Ins master, and told him what she
had said.
v hen a oontii na.ii passed awav, the a-
1 i
ritK-ti came ogam to sec whether lsaheiia was
reaily to receive the Sultan, and to ask whether
the clothes were finished ! "Oh !" said she, j
"a ttiteh Ik re and a stitch there, and they w ill (
soon be done." The Sultan ullowcd another j
month to elapse, und then he went himself to
see whether Isabella was yet tit to become uw
wile. Rut, lo ! all the line pieces of silks and
satins were heaped up in a corner, uncut and
unopened. "How is this," said the Sultan,
"why do you not make the dresses !" "Ol. !"
answered Isabella, a stitch here and a stitch
there, and they will soon be done." The Sul-
tan It'll the house, vexed with her, anil won.
deringut her indolence; hut her exceeding
beauty and gentlenees of manner made such ail
impression on his mind that he could not forget
her.
When a considerable length of time had gone
by, he again P?de to tho village to see her.
Gertrude, Payarotti's wife, saw liiui coming,
and running to the corner, she took one of the
piece of silk ami wrapped it round her per , on ;
Isabella seized a piece ot s:itin and did like
wise. The Sult:ii) was quite pleased to see
her apparently dressed, for he nrver remarked
that the pieces were neither cut nor sewed, he
only thought that the beuutitul Italian looked
more heHiilil'iil lhah eler.
When the Sultan was seated on the divan, j
he told Gertrude lo get him some cotlee. She j
went down and placed the coffeepot on the fire j
to bo;l ; while waiting for it she began saying
to herself, "Oh ! what fool I was to let my
child marry ! I have only to fillip my fuig'Ts,
and if the fillip should strike her little baby's
eye, it would be blind, and there will he my
grandchild with only one eye." This thought
distressed her so much, that he entirely forgot
w hat-she had come for, and sitting down she
began to weep.
In the mean time Hie coffee was boiling o
ver, and Gertrude was staying so long that her
husband at last came to seek her. "What is
he mailer w ith yon !" said he to her. Ger
trude repealed to him tin) iitllieting thought;
"Ton true, too true," suid Payarotti, and he
began also to grieve and wring his hands.
Another half-hour passed awav, and still
Gertrude did not appear. Iboiinoilo seeing j
neitl-.er Ins father nor mother returning with!
the rolli-e, went out to find w hut iiad happened ;
"Whitl has huppeiifcd !" cried he. "Oh !
your poor sster '."answered Gertrude,"! have
only to fiJip my fingers, ami her little baby
will be blind of an eye." "My poor sister, my I
poor sister," robbed out Isbouuello, silting dow n
beside lh 111.

but whin she found tier liilher, liinthcr, ond '

Gertrude, mid began grieving and lamenting

In the mean tune the Piiltan remained atone
on the divan, surprised that every member ot '
the family should have letl him, and none have
returned. He grew impatient, and ut last de-
termiiK'd logo himself and unravel the myMe- I
