Iler heart is sad. One upon whom
who looked with too much lenieney,
whornsho had trusted too confidingly,
has proved faithless. Under the
prompting of pride she assmnes an ex
ternal air o$ indifference and forgel-fullii'-ss.
but behold her heart and rend
bow false, those out ward expressions
urc! That heart has known a hhare
of deep sorrowing, of harrowing dis
content, even life's wildest, deepest
grief. It has felt perhaps the blight
ing, vithering blast of adversity, and
its many attendant trials, till the kind
lier feelings of lovo and charily have
become deadened and cold. It has
ncen life's darkest, gloomiest, mod un
inviting f ide. Long sinee has joy lied
afar its airy trippings, and given
placo to cold, weird, sluuldowless (lis
pair. The lamp of life bus grown dim,
and its low faint flickering throws a

ory, as page after page in that strange
volume is turned and reviewed. Ktteh

of joy, ct)"li change the bold negation
of delight. That heart can recall no
vision of past hnppincds, all seems
dreary, vague, and cheerless. And
yet, withal, ibis aatni) heart wears a
mask of mill-light, and joins in the
gnitics of tho bill! room. Is it not so.
We wait not for no answer. Eipeii
cure, bitli r experience, says yes, and
our own heart acknowledges the de
ception it often plays to perfection.
Una it not companions. We fear so.

our brethren who liud it so hard lo i
live, had better resign the quill and
licisors, for some oecupatiotl belter
suited to them. There are a great
many editors who have amassed lor
tunes by the simple e.erci.e of their
talenls, and no class of professional
men is more honest and upright as a
class. It is common for people to sup
pose that the editor is always out at
the elbow s I bat his wallet contains
nothing but clippings from exchange
. . i i. in.,
papers, and linpaiu wasnnm uun
that his hat is invariably n ".ihncking

ble at all points. In the name ol'lhe
guild, we deny this agreeable suppo
sition, and beg of our brethren thai
they will be a liltle more chary of the
publication of their private woes. It
is only because these are held up be
fore the win Id, thai the profession is
sostigm itued.niul if the iksiigmuriis
of law) ers, and doctor, and clergy men,
had an eipially wide notoriety, they
would sillier as greatly at the bands
of that .stern iudize and jury Public !
Opinion.
Discontinuing to advertise is like
taking down one's sign. It is a sort
of intimation of retirement from bus

While business creates advertising, it
is eipially true that advertising crertes
business.

A Dksi'i.raii: Dun. ami IIaitv llm
hanck. The following extract front a!
private letter wrim-ii by a soldier ... ,
the I'tah ,ln..y, gives the particulars
"fone of Ihe most desperate duels on j
record. The tragedy occurred in Ce-
dar Valley, daring the first week in
,
September. The writer says:
Th parlies lo this sanguinary affair
I ... t' i .... i..
were two iraiiiniers iroin ot. i.oui.i-
IVc 1 and lluckcr. What gave rise to
Ihe dillieulty was, that in the course
ofa game lor 8 ItMin, lluckcr played a
secreted card and was detected by
l'eel, who took the money lluckcr
forlciting the pile by ihe false play.
The ensuing day the parlies met at
Sutler's store, while there some n
mark made by a third parly revived
Ihe subiect of the game, and the ouur
rel ol words between lluckcr and
l'eel look a more serious turn, l'eel
saitl there was but one way to settle
the matter they must light. They
'adjourned outside the store, and ta
king their stations about ten yards
iiimrt. drew their r 'volvers and lired.
Both fell at thu l.rst shot Kucker
shot in the breast, and Peel in the
shoulder. One of Peel's lingers was
taken oil by I be shot. The second shot
took ell'eet in both. Kucker then rais -
ed on his knee and lired twice, hot a
bulls hitting Peel. The latter bleed-
ing front six wounds, struggled up
from the ground, and resting bis re -
vol ver on nn arm, ami iaiii.; u. - iiu. - r -
;ile nun shot Kucker to tho heart. Peel
is not expected to live indeed, as I
write, a rumor prevails that he is
dead.
both these desperadoes came out
from the States last spring, and both deU(,,j l)y high quotations, "prcmi

Another Murder Commltted.-'hc
New Orleans papers notice the tp
ture of Kldretl Ward, who niuired
W. W. Smith, in cold bloo at
Shreve)ort, La., a few weeks ice.
The murderer was pursued intcex
as, and finally captured near 'iod
ville, in a house where he had ?re
ted himself. The capturing trty
proceeded to enter the room, ard
pretended to be taken by surprisaid
quickly, "who's thitt?" and comuced

and killing Mr. John Karnes, bynot

his pistols were discharged, thetew

Tatum. In the melee the ligbtcre

The dead and wounded oted
wine's party were drawn out the
room, the door closed, and theom
guarded for several hours, it no-ing
known to what extent Ward wdis

to introduce a light into theom,
that his condition might bo n.
To this end a light was let do the

The Wand of Cuba.
Tho Washington Globe in a recent
articlo upon the extent, population
and resources of the Island of Cuba,
gives some reliable data of general
, . . t to the American p.-ople. As

aboUt, we make tho following abstract
t . . . r. 1
for the oenclll 01 our reuuers;
Cuba is the largest and most impor
tant of tho West India Islands, and
commands the entrance to the Gulf of
Mexico, whence it lias been called the
Key to the Gulf. It is ubout seven
hundred miles in length and seventy
in breadth, and contains with its de
pendencies, 33,807 fquarc miles be
ing nearly equal in extent to Orcat
llritain.
The climate is delightful and very
healthy, for which reason it is a favor
ite resort for invalids. Even on the
top of the Grand Antilln, the chief
raigc of mountains running through
thi Island from end to end, there has
scarcely ever been ice, and then only
a few lines thick. The seasons are
nit distinguished as summer and win
tr, but as the wot and dry, though the
rriods which they begin and end are
' . . n .1 1 im
ot very wen oeiuieo. ino minj
eason commonly begins in Ma', but
iometimes in April and occasionally
hot till June,
tobacco, manioc, and maize. ihe
work on the plantations is done almost
exclusively by negroes, whose condi
tion is far worse than that of the slaves
of Ihe United States. The whipping
post is in constant use. As an in
stance of the great fertility of the soil,
Trumbull states that, in the district of
Sugala Grande, a cahalleria of land,
which is nearly equal to thirty acres,
has been known to produce two hun
dred and eighty thousand pounds of
the fair-colored Muscavado sugar of
that country, being nearly equal to
lour moueratn sized hogshuAUs per
tjjJjjU
acre.
Tho population is made up of Cre
oles and negroes, the latter forming
about one-third. The Creoles, like
their Spanish ancestors, arc intelligent
but indolent; the negroes are not al
lowed to bo either.
There arc in the island several ex
cellent copper, iron, and coal mines,
which would bo very productive if
well worked. Small quantities of
gold and silver have also been found.
Since the introduction of bees, sixty
and seventy years ago, honey and wax
have been important articles ol trade.
Manufactures have been much neglec
ted. The island is divided info several
jurisdictions, civil, judicial, ecclesias
tical and military. The civil jurisdic
tions consists of two provinces; wilh
two district Governors, entirely inde
pendent of each other; the supreme
military chief of the whole island wilh
the title of Captain General, being the
civil Governor of the one province
only, called Sun Christoval do la Ha
vana; while the other, Santiago do Cu
ba, has a separate Governor, who, in
all'uirs purely political or civil, is not
in any way subject to the Captain
General. Keside.s the island is divided
into three military divisions, whose
chiefs take their orders from the Cap
tain General.
Some attention has been paid to
education by the Government, but lit
tle has been accomplished.
In 1810 there were 'J!),5!)!) lair chil
dren in the island between the nges of
five and ten; of whom one-tenth were
sent to school.
Authorities dilfcr as to the popula
tion of Cuba. According to the census
of 18-27, which was, we believe, the
last taken, the population was 730,36','.
Of these the whites numbered SI 1,051;
the free negroes 57,5 1; and the free
people of color, not negroes, 1S,1M0.--The
number o! slaves was iils0,812, of
whom lS'J.iJ'JO were males, and 103,
05'2 females. Since 1S27 the popula
tion has of course, greatly increased,
as is shown by the amount of imports
since then, and the constantly increas
ing production of the island. It now
amounts, probably, to about 1,500,
000. The trade of Cuba is excellent, its
situation, the fertility of the soil, and
the short distance not more than
thirty miles from any point in the
interior to the seashore, all tend to
give it great commercial prosperity;
and if the many injurious restraints
now imposed upon its trade were re
moved it would soon become ouo of
the richest spots on earth.
Within the Inst ten years, the inte
rior of the country had been much
improved, and the means of communi
cation increased by railroads, ike.
The first railroad ever laid in the island
running from Havana to the most
important of the sugar districts, was
constructed by a citizen of the United
States. Under the influence of Ameri
can institutions and American enter
prise the Cuba of to-day would bear
no comparison with what a few years
would find it.
