THE POET’S MISSION. ——-—— ' Tur poet's world is one by mind created. And far aloof from plodding crowds he dwells ; The sea is his, where, Neptune-like, clated, He bids the Tritons sound their twisted shells, -And calls the mermaids from their evral cells. Tempest and calm he owns. O he can wake The whale-like surges from their stormy dells, And hurl whole fleets with one terrific shake, Down to the Acheron of r —for fancy’s sake.

And he can woo dark tempest into sleep, Bind the fieree Boreas with a silken line, Make lo rlasses of the ragi Dissolve the rocks to fl secy wool of Bueey Set up the rainbow o'er the glowing west, And pile the golden-purple cloudiets in a heap, Beauteous and glorious as the eternal crest Crowning the brow of Love in kingdoms of the blest.

other acts of President Geffarard has been the reduetioa of the standing army of the island from 30,000 to 19,000 meu, thus reduciog by half the burden of taxation for mili- tary purposes. He hes restored financial order, and while curtailing the general expenses, has been enabled to increase the remuneration of the functionaries of the Administration.

The value of the national currency is daily increasing, and

there is every promise that the emission of paper money, which has already considerably diminished, will grow less and Jess every year. The area of land cultivated bas in- creased, greater facilities of communication kave been afford- ed, and exploratioas have been ualertakea and discovered, inclading several new coal and other mines,

President Geffarard hus also conceived the excellent idea of inviting the immigration of Africans and Iodians by offer- ing them a certain portion of Government land, and the pri- vilege of immediate naturalization. Those who cannot pay their passage will be provided with the means of defraying it, Jaborers and farmers are especially invited, but the aly qualifications nevessary are the proofs of a good charac- ter for industry and integrity, To each family of immigrants five square (three and one-eight acres to the square) of good land will be given, on condition that they settle on it, culti- _vate it, and declare their intention of becoming citizens of Hayti. To unmarried men two squares will be given. Board and lodging will be farnished the immigrants free of cost, for

t days after their arrival, and the government will find employment for those whose means may not allow them to | commence cultivation on their own account. The same pro- tection and civil rights that the law gives to native born Hay- tians are guaranteed to the immgrants. While the Roman Catholic religion is the national faith, the fullest religious liberty will be granted to all. Protestants will never be called apon to contribate to the support of the Roman Catholic Church, and sites for the erection of chaples and schools will be given by the State without regard to the religious opinions of the immigrants, They are at liberty to Jeave the country atany moment they please, with the exeeption that those whose passage has been paid by the Government, if they desire to leave the island before the expiration of three years, will be required to refund the money expended on their ac- count, | This wise and generous policy of the Haytian Government, says the Tablet, affords immense advantages, civil and other- wise, to a suffering class of the American population, and at the same time is the commencement of a new era of agricul- tural aud commercial developement for the Haytian Republic. [t offers not only a refuge, but political equality and a home to the free blacks whom rigorous enactments have driven from many States of the Union to arvid the alternative of reduction to Slavery, Many of the free negroes who have been driven from Louisiana have settled down in Hayti, where an identity of faith and langaage makes the greater

But these barges, instead of being towed asander like common barges, are joined to one another by cireular joints like a hinge, so that they constitute one long flexible vessel, with oaly one bow and one stern. The purpose of this arrangement is to obtein the necessary dis- paccment with small resistance, and without the risk of dam age, should the vessel] get ayround, and all these condi- tions are effectually fulfilled by the arrangements adopted. The train is thirty feet broad and about seven feet deep. At a draught of water of three feet it will carry about 3,000 tons of cargo. Such a vessel is greatly needed at the pre- scut moment to carry up railway materials in India, and to bring down cotton, flax, and other articles of agricultural duce.

How Ccrree came ro ne Useo.—It is somewhat singular to trace {he manner in which arose the use of coffee, without Wiica few, in the world, now make a breakfast, “At the ‘ime Culumbas discovered America, it had never been known or used. It only grew in Arabia and Upper Ethiopia. The liscovery of its use as a beverage is ascribed to the superior of a mouastery in Arabia, who, desirous of their nocturnal services, made them drink the infusion of coffee, upon the report of shepherds, who observed that their flocks were more lively after browsing on the fruit of the plant. Its reputa- tion spread through the adjacent country, and in about two hundred years it had reached Paris, A single piant brought there in 1714 became the parent stock of ali the French coffee plantations in the West Indies. The Dutch introdaced it into Java and the Hast Indies, and the Freach and Spanish all over South America and the West Indies. The extent of the consumption can now hardly be realized. The United States alone annually consume it at a cost of from fifteen to sixteea millious of dollars.
