TO TEE DEAD.

How many now are dead to me
That live to others yet!
How many are alive to me
Who crumble in their graves, nor see
That sick'ning, sinking look which we
Till dead can meier forget.
Beyond the blue seas, far away,
Most wretchedly alone,
One died in prison-far away,
Where stone on stone shut out the day,
And never hope, or comforts ray
In his lone dungeon shone.
Dead to the world, alive to me;
Though months and years have passed,
In lone hour, his sigh to me
Comes like the hum of some wild bee,
And then his form and face sec
AS when | saw him last
And one with bright lip, and cheek,
And eye, is dead to me.
How pale the bloom of his smooth cheek
HIS lip was cold--it would not speak;
His heart was dead, for it did not break;
And his eye, for it did not see.
Then for the living be the tomb,
And for the dead the smile;
Engrave oblivion on the tomb
of pulseless life and deadly bloom
Dim is such glare: but bright the gloom
Around the funeral pile,

NATHANIEL GREENE,

major general in the army of the United
States, was born in Warwick, Rhode Island, about
the year I740. His parents we're QuakeTs.-His
father was an anchor smith, who was concerned in
some valuable iron works, and transacted much
business. While he was boy, he learned the
Latin tongue chiefly by his own unassised industry.
Having procured small library, his mind was
much improved, though the perusal of military
history occupied considerable share of his alien
ton. Such was the estimation in which his char
acter was held, that he was at an early period of
his life chosen member Of the assembly OF Rhode
Island. After the battle Of Lexington had enknd-
led at once the spirit of Americans throughout the
whole continent, Mr.. Greene, though educated in
the peaceful principles of the Friends, could not
extnguish the martial ardor which had been excited
in his own breast. Receiving the command of
three regiments, with the title of brigader general,
he led them to Cambridge. in consequence of which
the Quakers renowned all connection with him as
member of their religious body. On the arrival of
Washington at Cambridge, he was the first who ex-
pressed to The commander in chief his satisfaction
in his appointment, and he soon gained his entire
confidence. He was appointed by Congress, major
general, in August 1776. In the battles of Tren-
ton, on the Goth of December following and of
Princeton, the Sd of January. l777, he was much
distinguished. He commanded the left wing of the
American army at the battle of Germantown on the
4th OF October. In March, 1878, he was appoint

FROM THE ITALIAN OF CARDINAL BEMBo.
TURNING TO GOD.

Translated for the United States Literary Gazette.
If, gracious God, in lifes green, ardent year
A thousand times thy patient love tried;
With reckless heart with conscience hard and scar,
Thy gifts perverted and thy power defed;
oh grant me, now that wintry SHOWS appear
Around my brow, and youths bright promise hide
Grant me with.reverental awe to hear
Thy holy voice, and in thy word confde;
Blot from my book of life its early STAIN
Since days misspent will never more return,
My future path do thou in mercy trace;
So cause my soul with pous zeal to burn,
That all the trust, which in thy name place,
Fral as am, may not prove wholly vain.

FOR THE WATERMAN.
TO HER WHO UNDERSTANDS 1T,

WRITTEN FOR FRIEND.
Go, Mary have done with thee
Yes every spark hath persh'd,
of that affection once BY me
For thee so warmly CHERISHED.
Our tender love, of early years,
little thought that ever,
At ripper age, would end in tears,
And We be doom'd to sever.
But sad misforiune's cruel blast,
And blIghted prospects prove,
That thy affection S changed at last
Sol no longer love.
And if thou can'st be happy then
Thy perjured vows renew
To some fond, foolish youth again,
And oh may they be true.
Then fare thee well, for now we part,
Yes, Mary, we must sever;
The last sad sigh hath wrung my heart,
So fare thee we'll forever. MALCOME.

the attention Of our readers. From
this czpose, it will be seen that the re-
venue Of Mexico is computed at about
10 millions, and its present expendi..
rure at,f7 millions, leaving deficit OF
above 7millions ofdollars. The items
Of revenue are interesting, and give
much information, which will be re-
ceive1 as datum in estimating the re-
sources of the country. Civil war, and
the wide desolation which accompanies
it, are the causes of the immense fall
ing off in the public Income; and it is
70 be presumed that tranquil state Of
society, and due regard to economy on
the part of the government, will rein
state the revenue in that prosperous
condition in which it previously stood.
Great revolutions cannot be easily
nor cheaply effected; and nations which
have long groaned under an oppres-
sive tyranny, may count themselves
happy if they are enabled to throw off
the yoke, and spring forth to freedom
and reputation, at the cost Of some few
wears Of financial embarrassment. If
the energy Of the present generation
has redeemed the land let the energy
Of the next be taxed to pay the money
debt Of that redemption; the moral
debt can never be hquidated, but will
pass an heirloom, from father to son,
to latest posterity. Half a century has
not elapsed, since we Tere what Next
co is.-since we emerged from a diff
cult and tedious and dangerous strug-
gle, impoyerishes both in numbers and
resources; but rich in our newly a.
chieved independence. -s
Involved in distress and debt, it
has required the watchful eye Of gov
eminent, and the perseverance Of the
people, to extricate the country from
the debt which it has paid for freedom.
Providence has blessed the land with
increase and we have arrived at a
point of happiness and prosperity,
which has made US the envy Of nations.
A like course is open to Mexico; and
we have no doubt that the skill and
prudence Of her statesmen will effec-
tually secure to her what the valor and
priyations of her warriors have won.
