for the "Spirit of the T.me»,"] A PIANO IN ARKANSAS. By the author of "Tom Owen, the Bee lutnltr." Wo never forget the excitement which seized upon the inhabitants of the little village of Ilardscrabble, as tho report spread through tho community that a real Piano had actually arrived within its Speculation was afloat as to its appearance anil its The name was familiar with etfery bofly, but what it precisely meant, noun could tell. That it had legs was cortain, for a v0 7 ie Marryntt one of most conspicuous works in the 1 And Capt. on. An old and foreign paper was brounht for.

ward, in which there was an advertisement headed "Soiree," which informed the "citi. zens generally," that Mr. Bobolink, "would preside the Piano." This was presumed to mean, wise acres, who had en to a menagerie, that Mr. Bobolink stirred the piano up with a Jong pole, in the sanje way the show-man did the lions, and rhi-noce-rus. So public opinion was in favor of its 0 01 lne mosi conspicuous worKi library oi Hardsc rabble.

And Marryatt stated that he a Piano, where New LaglanJ, with pantale bein an animll, though a harmless one, for intHjcen a speculator through the village a few weeks before who distributed circulars ol a Female adeiny for the accomplishment of yourfg These circulars distinctly "the use of tho Piano to he one dollar per month." One knowing old chap said, that if they would tell hiin what so. j-rce meant, he would tell them what a Piano was, and no mistake. The owner of this stiiinge instrument was no less than a vm and very respectable, late merchant in a-little town "down east," who having "failed" at home, had emigrated into the country of Arkansas. for the purpose of bettering his and escaping the heartless sympathy of his more lucky neighbors, who seemed tu consi him an indifferent and degraded man hecause he had become honestly poor. H'he new comers of course Ti house in jvhich they were setting up th -ir furniture, too little arranged "to admit of calls," and as they seemed little dis posed to court society, all prospect of immediB'ely sieving the mystery that hung about the Piano, seemed hopeless'.

In the mean time public opinion depository of this strange thing was looked upon by passersby with uwfoiinabje noises, unfamiliar, sometimes reached the street, it presumed this was the Piano, and the excitement rose higher than ever. One or two old lad es, presuming on their age and respectability, called upon the strangers and enquired after their liealths, and offered their services, and friendship. In the meajj time they eyed every thing in the house with intensity, but seeing nothing strange, they hinted about the Piano. Ouecf the new family observed carelessly, "that it had been much injured in bringing it that the damp had affected its tones, and that one of its legs was so injured that it would not stand up, and that for the present, it ould not ornament the parlor." Here was an explanation tjringing it affected its thing," ejaculated the old ladies, as they to their homes, "travelling bas evidently fatigued it, the Massis-sip fogs has given it a cold, poor thing," and they all wanted to see it With increased curiosity. "The Village" agreed that if Moses Mercer, familiarly called MS Mercer, as in town, they would soon have a description of the piano, and the uses to which it was put, and fortunately, in the midst of the excitement, "Mo," who had been off on a hunting expedition, arrived in town.

Moses Mercer was the son of "Old Mercer," who was, ar.d had been, in the State Senate, ever since Arkansas was admitted into the "Union." "Mo," from this fact, received great glory of course his father's greatness would have been glory enough, but his haring been twice to the "Capitol," when the legislature was in session, stamped his claims to pre-eminence over all competitors, and Mo Mercer was the oracle of the village. "Mo" knew evenr thing; he had all the consequence and complacency of a man who had never seen bis equal, and never expected to. "Mo" bragged extensively on his having been to the "Capitol" hie there having been in the meet fashionable having seen Jjie world. His return to town was received with a shout. The arrival of the Piano was announced to him, and he alone, of all ths community, was not astonished at the news.

His was wonderful be treated thing as a matter that he was used to, and went on to say he had seen more Piano's in the "Capitol" than he had ever seen wood, tt was not an animal, but a musical instrument; played upon by the ladies, and he wound up hts description by saying, that the way the dear creeters could pull the music out of it, a caution to screechowls." This new turn given to Piano excite, ment in Htrdserabble, hy Mo JVereer, was like pouring oil on fire to extinguish it, for it 'blazed out with more vigor than ever. That it was a musical it a rarer thing than it it bad been an in that wild country, and people of all sizes, colors, and degrees, ere dying to see and hear it. Jim Cash was Mo Mercer's right hand man the language refined society, ha was "Mo's the language of Herd' scrabble, he was "Mo's wheel-horse." Cash believed in Mercer with a faith that ne Klieves ia the IVe, New fnish was dying to nee the Piano, and the firs 1 opporjunity ho had alone with his "Quixo te," ,3 expressed the dcs.ro that was consuming his vitnlg, We'll go alonce, and see it," said Mercor. Strangers," echoed the frightened Cash. yon think I have visited the "Capitol" twice, and dopt know how to treat fashionable society Come along Cash, at once," said Mercer.

OIF the pair started, Meraer all confidence, and Cash nil fears ns to the propr ety of the visit. These fears Cash frankly expressed, but Mercer repeated for the thousandth time, Ins visit to the "Capitol," his familiarity ith fashionable societies and Pianos, which! Mercer observed, "was synonymous." And he finally told Cash, however abashed or ashamed he might be in the presence of the ladies, "that no needn't fear of sticking, for he would put him through." A few inutes' walk brought the parties on the broad galleries of the hSuse that contained the object of so much curiosity. The doors and windows were closed, and a suspicious look was on eveiy thing. "Do they always keep a house closed up this way that has a piano in it anked Cash. Certainly," replied Mercer the damp would destroy its Repeated knocks at the doors, and finally at the windows, satishod both Cash and Mercer that no body was at home.

In the midst of this disappointment, Cush discovered a singular machine the end of the gallery, crossed by bars, rollers, and surmounted with an enormous crank. Cash approached it on tip toe he hud a presentiment that this was the object of his curiosity, aud as its intricate character unfolded itself, he gazed with distended and asked Mercer with breathless anxiety th.it war?" Morcer 'urned to the thing as coolly as a toper would to a Itrlawi i brandy and water, and said "that was it." "That it exclaimed Cash, opening his eyes still wider, and then wished to see tlie "iones. Mercer pointed to the crossbars and rollers. ith trembling hands, and a resolution that would eunbie a man to bo scalped without winking, Cash rcached out his hand, and seized the handle of the crank, (Cash was at heart a brave ami fearless man); he gave it a turn, the machinery grated harshly, and seem eu to clamor for something be put in its maw. a What delicious sounds," Cash.

"Heauliful," observed the complacent Mcrcer, at tho snnio lime seizing Cash's ertn, and nnking him to desist for fiar of brcuking the instrument, or gelling it out of tune, '1 ho fimpl caution wus sufficient, and Cast: in the joy of his discovery, at what lie had seen, and done, for a moment looked ns conceited ns Mo Mercer himself. Busy indeed, was Cosh, from this time forwatd, to explain lo gaping crowds the ex. act appearance of fhe Piano, how he had actunlly taken hold it, and as his Mo Mercer observed, "pulled music out of it." The curiosity nf was a Hayed, nod it died comparatively away Cash however, having rnso to almost as touch importance as Mo Mercer, for his having seen and handled the thing. Our New England family knew little or nothing ofall (his excitement they received the yisitsanid contrat ululions of the hospitahla viliagfrs, and resolved to give a great party to return some 'of the kindnesses they had received, and the Piano was for the hist lin, moved into the parlor.

Hope deferred ninketh (be heartsick," and the Piano, and the music had been deferred so long, that several old ladies and some young ones (who shrunk from showing any curiosity or desire,) insisted upon Mercer's asking Miss Patience to favor the company with a little music on Ihe Piano.

"Certainly," saw! Mcrcer, aud with the grace of a city dandy, he called upon the lady to gratify all present with a-little music, prefacing request wifh the remark that if she was fatigued his friend Cash would give Ihe instrument a turn. Miss Patience smiled, and looked at knees trembled all evs in the -ooin turned upon him, and and lie sweat all over.

Sugar Trapu ob United Sta'ies. I ho average iiiiptirlutjoiia of raw sugar into the United States for the last six ears, is, iu round nnmbtrH, one hundred and thirty three million pounds, of which the refiners have used sixty three millions, having seventy millions consumption in it' original stale. Louisisami furnishes a liille less than one hundred and twenty millions pounds of raw sugar per annum The refined sugar produced froin the sixtythree millions of raw material before spoken of, amounts to lbs hundred pounds of raw sugur ycilding about fifty one pounds of the refined.

Of this amoiiut 10,741,018 lbs, are exported to foreign countries, leaving for home consumption, 21,808.352 lbs, which, added to the product of Louisiana, and the foreign raw sugar not used by the refiners, give the aggregate 500 lbs, as the tolui amount of sugar df all consumed in Ihe Unitod States in a year. This ng gregate compared wifh the census of 1840 gives an ayerage consumption of twelve and a fraction pounds to ench individual, including free blacks and slaves. The. trade one example of tlie folly of a uniform rate of duties upon im portrd articles, as the twenty per com um of Ihe compromise. J.ct us premise, however, ihat the rate of duties upon imported sugars at the ports of England is $5,14 on one hundred pounds of raw sugar, and on the same quantity of refined.

At the ports of France Ihe duly is per huu drcd, raw, while the refined article is entirely prohibited. Holland charges thirtyseven els. per hundred raw, and refined; while Belgium levies eighty four cents on Ihe hundred pounds of raw material, and nfvied. The duly on refined sugar in none of ihr countries be-j ing less than seven limes as much as upou (he raw commodity, it is tantamount to entire prohibition. The momentary of this was, that refined sugar was sold in the United States as high as twenty five cents a pound; which pricc, however, by a sure competition which always produces the same was speedily reduced ty ten to twelve and a centsr-r-thu present market price for a good quality.

Il is estimnled that there the cities of Boston, New Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans, Cincinnati, and St. I.i uis, forty one sugar refineries, in which areinvested capitata of at least three mil. lions seven hundred thousand dollars; and manufacturing sixty seven and half millions of pounds of ported sugar annually. By Ihe operations of tho uniform twenty per cent, compromise (arifl'it is to be feard that this entire business will either suffer a re. ductiou of one and a quarter million of dollars per aauum from ihe wages heretofore paid to the operatives employed in it, or fall into the hands of foreign refiners altogather.

The average pricc of foreign Havana, and brown, during the last year, has been $5,10 per hundred pounds, the twenty per cent, duty upon which would he $1,02. Now for an example of the relationship that will exist between Ihe compromise tariff and this branch of tradi take the present value of refined sugar, shown to be six cenfsper pound; tho the twenty cent, duty on fifty-one pounds would amount sixty cents, between the importation of a raw material, and the manufactured article in itscondenc- staie. Here is a fuel that tho compromise men setrn to uri-amed of, tluu tho government, instead of collecting a revenue on fifty-six million pounds of raw sugar, would, in point col'ect a revenue only on twenty millions of the rcfiued, leaving a deficit of some $223,000, per annum to the Treasury, in addition to a much greater loss to nieieuunfs ai.d manufacThe Icusonsof experience, in this department of legislation, are gathering round us in considerable numerical strength, and cannot fail to open Ihe eyes of the moat obdurate to the striking conf rast between the policy of this and other nations, and the downright felly of adhering lo a mere theory which has already cost this country more legislation and embarrassment than years of prosperity can Philadelphia Chronicle.

jrt i i or C. f. is wiih feelings of no common sorrow that we record the death of our friend and cotemporary, the young and talented Smith, late editor of 'he Concordia Intelligencer. We mourn Iiis death, not only as a personal friend, worthy the warmest esteem and love, but as an parable to the State whose interests and cause he espoused. His was one of the rare and much spirits that dTcte all to the shrine of patriotism.

Above personal motives party views, he soared, like the eagle above ihe clouds, glorying in the and gorgeous rays ofall that was manly, virtuons, and noble. His es and energies that never flagged, and abilities of the highest ppured out like rain in favor of 'he commonwe if, In him the people have a corps editorial an humanity a gem of inestimable worth. So true is it, that "The £ond die first While those whose hearts arc dry as summer's dust, Burn to the socket." We take following account of the la. raentablc accident from the Natchez Courier of the 28th ult, Dcnth nf f. With poignant grief we record the death nf our former assoeiate, our dearly beloved C.

8. Smith. Poor Smith In the bloom of hfe's glad pr. light-hearted, g'merous, frank, and bold--he has perished from earth. Ere the frost of winter-time had gathered round his heart, and frozen the genial current gushing and sporting the hey-day of early manhood's joyous promise and vivid hopes, he h.is gone from us for ever.

But thy memory shall live, ill-starred friend, in re j' blossom, in many a bosom now ud ''d gloom and sorrow for thy untimely fate. Many a kindly tbonght shall fly to thy enrly grave, and nestle with thy cold corsr in the dull and dreary earth. Many a pang of unfeigned and bitter woe shall consecrate thy virtues our undying recollections of thee and them. On last Sunday evriing, Smith, having ih VI ft 0 if i SSv bayou Cocodry, in skitr. fie had placed his loaded gun in the bow of the boat, and wh-n they touched land, he seizcd his gun and stept ashore.

He then, resting his gun on the bow, attempted to pull the boat to land with it, when the gun went off, and lodged the entire load in his breast. He lingered in mortal agony three hours, and about sun-set expired, with nofriend near him to close bis eyes, and whisper words of in his ear. And thus parted as noble a as ever dwelt in human form. Faace, lo thy ashes, unfortunate friend The Free Trader thus a notice of he sad ven I morning of bis days, i vanished a noble and aspirine spirit from our Southern clime. Self-made and ambitious we bailed hiin as one destined to rise to emm-nce in whatever profession he should pur sue.

The little professional biotenngs which passed between him and us, whenever the orbits of our editorial courses were not on the same plane, were all forgotten. Living or dead, we had could not grudge against one so bold in his opinions, so sensitive to any imputation on his self -made chaj racier, so susceptible of all that is beautiful ornate in literature. We now weep, concealment, over an editorial brother ar a sudden blight had fallen upon flower of hiph promise. Peace to his ashes that now rest from the turmoils of life, and green be the memory of his virtues in the hearts of the good and the gifted of his acquaintance If sympathy, if manly sorrow, the sighs and tears of youth and beauty can strew roses upon the last sleeping place of mau, then rests Smith upon a fragrant bed of flowers, and immortality has dawned upon him as a morning without clouds, The Courier, of tjie same date, relates ths melancholy sequel to the estas? trophe which tore poor Smith from his warm Sad Keeident and Death T'pon hearing of Ihe death of Mr. Smith, Mr.

C. (i. Forshey, his brother William, and two others, named Tib. bles, started in a skiff to proceed to the scene of his death. A violent storm came on, which prostrated a tree.

In its fall the tree struck the boat, killing one of che Messrs. Tibbies stantly, wounding the other in the loin, and severely bruising William Forshey, of the branches falling across lap, Mr.C.G.For»hey escaped untouched. The other Mr, Tib. bles is dangerously, but it is mortally wounded, and William Forshey will, no doubt, soon recover, without material injury.
