This poem appeared in the London Morning Chron icle, ju-t forty years ago. A reward of fftty guineas failed to. bring out its authorship, nor is it yet known : Behold this ruin! Twas a skull, O ce of etherial spirit full, This narrow cell was Lite's retreat, This space ww Thought's mysterious seat. What beauteous visions filled this spot, What dreams of pleasure, long forgot. Nor Hope, nor Love, nor Joy, nor Fear, Hare left one trace of record here. Beneath this mouldering canopy Once shone the bright and busy eye; m. But, start not at the di mill oid If social Love that eye employed ; If with no lawless fire it u learned, But through the dews of kindness beamed That eye shall be forever bright When stars and suns are sunk in Night. Within this hollow cavern hung The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue. If Falsehood's honey it disdained. And where it could not praise, was chained ; If bold in Virtue's cause it spoke, Vet gentle Concord never broke! This silent Tonue shall plead lor thee, When Time unveils Eternity. Say did these fingers delve the mine? Or with its euviea ruoies sniner To bew the rock, or wear the gem, Can little now avail to them. But if the page of Truth they sought. Or com tort to the mourner brought, - 1 hese han is a richer meed shall claim ' ' Than all that wait on Wealth or Fame.' Avails it, whether bare or shod. There feet the paths of Pnty trod? I f from tb bowerf qt Eas e the fwJ - - poseeK AUlictionVbuinkle shed; If Grandeur's guilty bribe tuay spurned, And home to Virtue's cot returned, These feet with angels' wings shall vie, And tread the palace of the sky. A SUNBEAM AND A SHADOW. I hear a shout of merriment, - A laughing boy I see ; Two little feet the carpet press, Ai d brini; the child to me Two little arms are round my neck, Two feet upon my knee: How fall th kisses on my cheek! How sweet they are to me! Tha' merrv shoot no more I hear, No lauirhing child I see; No litre arms are round my neck, Nor feet upon my knee! No kisses drop upon mv cheek. Those lips are sealed to me, Dear Lord, how could I give him up To any but to thee! THE TARIFF SUGAR, TEA & COFFEE. Remarks of Hon. Solomon Foot, In the Senate of the United States, Feb ruary is, ISlJl. Mr. Foot. Mr. President, I am inclined to vote for the amendment of the honorable Senator from Rhode Island, so far forth at least as it imposes a duty upon tea and cof fee; and at the first suggestion I was inclined to favor a reduction, if not an entire removal, of the duty on sugar, raw or brown sugar, eommonlv so called. This i- .m article that enter? very lamely into the general consuuip tion by all '.lapses of people in the country, so i hat it has come to be counted am ng the prime necessaries of life ; and lor this reason I should be glad to see it brouuht within the reach of all, especially of the poorer classes of the community, at the lowest rate. But, sir, a more? mature reflection, a mere careful consideration of the subject, has induced ue at least to question the policy, the expedien cy, of removing or even materially reducing the duty on sugar, at the present time. The duty, as proposed by the original bill, is a slight one, and hardly perceptible by the consumer, it being but I cent upon the p und, SI upon the hundred pounds, and about equivalent to the present w valorem duty of 21 er cent., as I believe it is, upon the origi nal cost. The revenue derived from the duty on su or alone, the last current year, amounted to within a fraction of 57.000,000. In 1857, if I mistake not, it amounted to the enormous sum of SI 2..100.000, within a very small frac tion: and til; aggregate amount of duty from tliis Mju,.,. ; tuitu me last ien years, amounted to something more than 557,000, 000: averaging something less than 0,000,000 a year for the last ten years. Sir, we can hardly afford 10 dispense with the whole or any jiortion of this revenue at the present time, when your national Treasury is literally empty; when your Government is involved in a debt of seventy or eighty million dollars; and when your current expenditures are largely outrunning your current income. Tiiis is not the time nor the occasion to speak of the causes which have produced this condi'ion of our national finances. I speak only of the fact. I speak only of the stern reality as it exists; as it stands before us; a reality which we have to meet, and to meet i' as best we may. I doubt not the spirit of patriotism in the great masses of the Amer ican people is warm enough and stiong enough to bear, without complaint and with out murmur, a small import duty upon the artii le of Migar. and that, in addition to this, thev would bear, without complaint and with out murmur, a small duty upon the articles of tea and conee, in order to enable the Govern I ment to discharge its pecuniary obligations ; 1 . . . :, '.,.;,..,.,. to enable it to meet its current expenditures and to enable it, within a reasonable length of time, to extinguish the public indebted ness. Our hope, and our confident hope, is that we are about to inaugurate a more eco nomical administration of the affairs of this Government ; that the public credit and the public confidence are to b restored and that the public debt will I be paid ; so that, after a biief period, these duties upon these articles may be removed. But j ust now, sir, we are called upon to pro vide the ways and means of meeting a pres ent, existing, and pressing emergency. That emergency being passed, this burden, if it may be regarded as a burden, may e taken oft. I am aware, sir, that heretofore th;s dutv upon sugar has been imposed for the twofold purpose ot revenue and protection; ot protec tion to the great staple productions of some two or three of the extreme southern States, and of Louisiana in particular. I am aware that the recent action of that State mav fur nish a motive to some gentlemen for abolish ing this protective duty altogether. But, sir, however strongly I may deprecate, however strongly I may condemn the recent action of that State, in the consideration of a question of public policy of this character, in the con- iilMrfl.tion Ot fll fir.Atirtr, rf --" t r.."l economy, I would avoid even the appearance of being actuated by any spirit ot revenge, ot retaliation, or of unkindness even, towards an nd'ending State. The question of protection is not at all involved in the imposition of tins luty. It is only, with us, a mere question ot revenue, ltns we neeu, anu mis we mum i i 11 ! . . t . 1, nsoFlil ikw I honor, and the rood faith of this Government.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF JEFFER SON DAVIS. The ceremonies at the inauguration of the provisional government of the new seceders' confederacy, at Montgomery, on the 18th are said to have formed the grandest pageant ever witnessed at the South. An immense crowd, including military, assembled on Capitol hill. . Mr. Davis' inaugural address was substantially as follows -. " Gentlemen of the congres of the confed erate states of America, friends and fellow citizens. Called lo the difficult and i cspon sible station of chiefVxecutive of the provis ional government, which you have instituted, I approach the discharge of the duties as signed me with an h; mble distru-t ol my abil ities, but with a sustaining confidence in the wisdom of those who are to guide and aid me in the administration of public affairs, and an a iding faith in the virtue and patriotism of i the people. Looking forward to the speedy establishment of a permanent government to j take the place of this, and which, by its L'reat- ! er moral and physical power will be better able to combat with the many difficulties which arnse from the conflicting interests of separ ate natiosn, I enter upon the duties of the office to which I have been chosen with the hope that the beginning of our career as a confederacy may not be obstructed by hostile opposition to o ir enjoyment of the sepa-rte existence and independence which we have asserted, and which with the blessing of provi denre, we intend to maintain. Our present condition, achieved in a manner unpr cedent ed in the history of nations, illustrates the American idea that governments rest upon the consent of .the governed, and that it is the right of the p pie to alter and abolish governments whenever th y become, de-drue. tive to the ends for which they were estab lished. The declared compact of the Union from which we have withdrawn was to estab lish justice, ensur domestic trai quihty, pio vide for (be common defence, promote tl.e general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, and when in the judgment of the sovereign state now composting this confederacy, it has been perverted from the purposes for which it was o dained, and cea-n-d to answer the ends for , which it was established, a peaceful appeal to the ballot box declared that so far as they : were coi cerned the governmen' created by 1 that compact should cease to exist. In this ! they merely asserted :te right the declaration of independence of 1770 defined to be in-1 alienable. Of tic time and occasion of it exercise they as soverei ns: wore the fin il judges, each for itself. The impartial, en lightened verdict of matik nd will viicl i ate the rectitude of our . ondth t, and he wtm knows the hearts ot men will jud -e of the sin cerity with which we labored to preserve the government of our ta'ln-rs The right solemnly pro ot the states, and winch aim re-ainrmed in tin- Ml lam.e has I tt the ! ir:h ii alii: ;s oi rights ut states subsequently adunfte.i n to the 1'i.ion of 178.1, undeniably rei ojnies in the people the power to resume the aulhority d l, ;M'eii for the purpose of the oovcr:uiiciit. ihu the sovereign states here represented pro ceede 1 to form this eonb-iler.v v, an-l it i. iv the abuse of language that their act has been denominated revolution. Thev tonueij a tiew alliance, but within each state its government has remained; the rights of person and pr p erty have not been disturbed. The .ig. ut through whom they con nuinicated with lor eign nations is changed, but this does not necessarily interrupt their international r la tions. Sustained by the consciousness that the transition from the former Union to the present confederacy has nut proceeded from a disregard, or. our part, of our just obliga tiotis, or any failure to perform every i (insti tutional duty ; moved by no interest or pass im to invade the rights of others: anxious to cultivate peac - and comiueice with all na tions; if we may not hope to avoid war, we may at least expect that posterity will acquit us of having needlessly engaged in it. Doublv justified by the absence of wrong n our part. and by wanton aggression on :lie part ot oth ers, there can be no cause to doubt that the courage and patriotism ot the people ot the confederate st ites wiil le- found eiiual toanv measures of defence, which soon their security may require. An agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a coinmcditv required in every manufacturing country ,our true policy is peace and the freest trade which our necessities will permit. It is alike our in terest and tha' of all tho-e to whom we would se '1,-and from wh'im we would buy, that there should be the fewest practicable restrictions upon the interchange ol commodities. 1 here can be but little rivalry between ours and any manufacturing or navigation community such as the northeastern sta'es of the Ameri can Union. It must follow, therefore, that mutual interest would invite good will and kind ollices. If, however, passion or lust ot dominion should cloud the judgment or in flame the ambilion ol those states, we must prepare to meet the emergency, and main tain by the final arbitrament ol the sword.the position whi -h we have assumed among the nations of the earth. We have .-ntere.l upon a career ot independence, which must be in flexibly pursued through many years of con troversy with our late associates of the north ern states- We have vainlv endeavored to secure tranquility and obtain respect tor the rights to which we were entitled. As a ne cessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation, and henceforth our en ergies must be directed to the conduct ot our own affairs and the perpetuity of the confed eracy which we have formed. If a just per ception of mutual interest shall permit us peaceably to pursue our separate political career, my most earnest desire will have been fulfilled But if this be denied us. and the integrity of our territory and jurisdiction be assailed, it will but lenain tor us, with firm r'-solve, to appeal to arms, and invoke the lilusaimi nf Providence on a iust cause. As a consequence of our new condition, and with a view to meet anticipated wants, it will be necessary to pro. ide. a speedy and efficient organization of the branches of the executive department, having special charge of foreign intercourse, finance, military. atl'airs, and pos tal service. For purposes of driens-.; the con federate states may, under ordinary cicumr tdanced, rely mainly upon tbe miritia,but it is deemed advisable, in the present condition of affairs, that theie should be'a well instruct ed, disciplined ai my, more numerous than would usually be required on a peace estab lishment. I also suggest that, for the protec tion o.'our harbors and commerce on the high se is, a navy adapted to these objects will be required. These necessities ' have doubtless engaged the attention of congress. With a constitution dillering only from that of our fathers in so fa; as it is explanatory of their well known intent, freed from sectional con flicts, which have interfered with the pursuifs of the general welfare, it is not unusual to ex pect that the states from which we have re cently parted, nny seek to unite their fortunes with ours under the government we have in stituted. For this vour constitution makes adequate provision ; but beyond tins, it 1 mistake not, the judgment and will of the TT. ....... . . . ' i -x '--f t-ii U-i- O '.7 IVljDRNiNG, FEBRUARY pe,le are, tt at union with the states from when ihey have separated is neither practi c4le nor desirable. To inciease the power, divelope the resources and promote the hap pness of a confederacy, it is requisite there should be so much of homogeneity that the wdfare of every portion would be the aim of tli wbol. Where this does not exist, an tagonisms are i engendered, which must and should result in separation. Actuated solely by a desire to preserve our own rights and le promote our own welfare the separa tion d' the confederate states,has been marked by ni aggression upon others, and followed by id domestic convulsion. Our industrial punuits have received no check, the cultiva tioi of our fields progresses as heretofore,and evjn should we be involved in war, there wsuld be no considerable diminution in the prediction of the staples which have consti tuted ur exports, in which the commercial world has an interest scarcely less 'than our own. Hiis common interest of producer and consdner can only be interrupted by an ex teriuf force which should obstruct its trans miss.Ti to foteign markets, a course of con due which would be detrimental to manu faUuring and commercial interests abroad. Slould reason guide the action ol the gov ynment from which we have separated a (Hilicv S3 detrimental to the civilized world hho northern states inelmiwl evill.l nor lu die. fated hy even a stronger desire to inflict in jury upon us ; butjif it be otherwise, a terrible responsibility will rest upon it, and the suf f. -rings of millions will bear testiriony to tin policy and wickedness of cur aggressors, In die meantime, there will remain to us, besides the ordin-wy remedies befoie suggested, the well knowi resources for retaliation upon the commerce of an enemy. Experience iu p d lic stations of a suUji diuate grade to tbi which your kindness has comerred, has taught me that care and toil and disappointments are ihe price of official elevation. You wid see many errors to forgive, manv deficiencies to tolerate; but )ou shall not find in me either want of zeal or fidelity to the cause that is to tin- the highest itl hope and of most enduring atlection. Vour generosity has bestowed upon mean undeserved distiiictioi.; one which I neither sought nor desired. Upon the con tinuance of that sentiment, and upon vour wisdom and patriotism, I ielv to support me in the performance of the duty requited at my hands. We have cha- ged tbe constituent parts, but not the system of our government. The Constitution formed by our fathers is that of these confederate states in their expo sition of it, and in the judicial construction ii has received, we have a light winch reveals its true meaning. Thu- instructed as to the jmt ii terpretaiian of that instrument, and ever remembering that all olli. es are but trust held for the peopltt, and that delegateljioweis are to be strict!;, 'construed, I will hojre by due diligence' in the performance of my du ties, I hoi gh I may disappoint jour expecta tions, et to re'atn, when retiring, m me'hing of the g'j'el will and confidence which will we:o;iie my entrance into oftVe. It is joyous in flie midst ol perilou-.tiui.-s to look around upon a people united in heart, where one purjK.se ot high reo've animates and actuate i he whole; where the saciitices to be made are not weighed in the balance against honor, right, liberty ati'l cqu ility.

The If,.liit Jiiurifil. the work ngs of whose establishment give perhaps as correct an idea of ''how they make newspapers" as any office in Boston. l ew individuals who pay their pennies for a dltily newspaper, begin to imagine the a mount of labor icquired to produce it. Eet us take a glance at the interior. In Boston, tii greatest demand tor news is lor the after noon editions of the nam rs : in New York, iu me morning. Uur Boston evening pa pers arc puplished at an hour early enough in the afternoon to bedipat hed over the afternoon trains that radiate from this city all over the New England States, reaching (heir destination in the evening. The paper "behind whose scenee" we are visiting, how ever, prints both a morning and evening edi tion, so that it has an opportunity to send by such trains ash an- for mine distant points its morning eddion, delivering its news on th same evening to towns and cities hundreds ot miles away. The E litor's Room that mysterious sanc tum of winch one lias heard so inucti here it is, a snug, little apartment, with room enough for two or three visitors. 1 his is the E litoi'-in-Chiet's room; a window sash puts him in communication with his assistant edi tors and reporters, whose desks are ranged about a large room, each desk lighted by a gas burner, and more or less covered with papers, cut and uncut, opened and unopened, maps, plans, bits of manuscript, pens, ink stands and some ink, scissors and waters. One end of the room is completely covered by a long glass case, holding all sorts of dictiona ries" and gaz. tccrs, legislative, agi .cultural, Government and City Reports, atlases and books of reference too numerous to be par ticuMnzed, readv for use whenever required. Hereis the commercial editors desk, an expert can tell that by the trale circulars about it, and by the commercial aspect of the papers upon it. Files of the Shjipnuj List, tl.e Cummrrrial lUlelin, the Mark 1mm hx yi'css, ami similar sheets marked by the in roads of his scissors, show th. t he appreciates the good works of his cotcmporanes. Here is another desk ; a file of theatre bills sus pended on a hook, three or four envelopes enclosing tickets ami wannm - - . . ts . . ...I.I...J....I a small h.m to whom they were ;f photograph of Booth and caricature oi jr. in uw m t 1 1 in ii in 28, 1861 ther actor suggests that the absent occupant does the "dramatic and musical." A third desk has a black-bearded looking man scratching away busily at it, who uses no pa pers and seldom the scissors or waters the local reporter he who furnishes the full ac count of the fires, the shocking accidents, ihe incidents and occurrences ; his productions are always original," rx-ing merely a statement cf facts. Here is a man a phonographic or verbatim reporter rapidly transcribing a sheet of odd-hxiking characters into a sjieecb. which some political speaker has just finished; here one who reports the suburban news.who is bound to keep posted on the events in Koxjiury, Charlestown, Cambridge, Chelsea.

A lew copies of legislative pamphlets, a printed I. st o members of the legislature, and lit h -graphed plan of legislative halls, indicates to an expert the seal of the legislative reporter; the piescnce of a few stock lists and broker's ' ircular, and sev. ral railroad rejns and pamphlet relating to coal aud copper min ing companies, &e., where the monetary wri ter sita. Pushing oor way still further we come to the assi-tant editors, who, perhap-f, we should have mentioned first. Four of these gentle men are hard at work ; here are two -. editors, who,-e attention is devoted exclusive ly to new ; one is entirely engrossed in for eign news, he has the latest Ides of foreign papers; maps of different countries or. the European continent, plans of' different parts 'if Italy and the M-em-ss of (iaribildi's victo ries, chat's and maps of the Crimea, of the river A moor, etc., shows his department of newspaper writing lo be foreign news; ano ther, li.

The other two are engaged, one U; on a leader and the o:' eron a literary critique. Evervlxxly is hard at wotk, every body minds his own business, very lit'le conversa tion is carried on pnnly now and then f-w words, and those ate such as smack of the shop, perhaps something af'er this stvde : News Editor "Got that fire V" Rejiorter "Yes. sir moat ready."

It is a common error that it is easy enough to write for a newspaper. As the means ol communication with different points increase. and new facilities for obtain ng news are in f,,d,i I the difficulty ot writing for the press is increased. The most skillful and most valuable men in the editorial tore of a newspaper are those who i an ay the most in the fewext u-or.s. It requires more practice t be an expert ccnd. user than a diffuse writer for the newspaper. Bui we have tarried long enough in the editorial rooms ; let us mount a story higher. Here iu a long hall (the. com .o-iug room) are the ly po stands, and thirty type-setter or composiiors, making music with the click, click, click of the types in the composing stick.
