PIRST FLOWERS.
First flowers Of the spring tiuir,
Bright gems OF the year,
All lovely and blooming,
How fresh We appear.
-SprInging up in the garden,
The hedge-rov and vale,
Enriched by showers,
And famed by the gale,
Your beauty is transient,
But, on! IT is sweet
As the dcep-fclt emotion,
Wherfattscn, friends NICE.
Aficr dangers surnounteh,
And nirscries flown,
Their lips and looks telling
OF days that arc gone,
Your hcrald-,he tempest:
Your bed-,he cold eSrtI;
Unshcltercd and sunless.
The place Of your birth;
The snow -6nft is sweeping,
And dimly the morn,
From the eastward is stealing
Vo hail your return.
have lovd your young blossoms.
They have ever brought JOY,
Br regret unenihittered,
Unchecked by q sigh.
But nor, whilst I gaze on
Your pale tender flowers
Zach leaf tells the tale,
OF hs5pier hours,
or friends smiling round me,
Now laid in the tomb;
OF friendships-all withere6
Hearts stript of their bloom;
Luv'd eyes whose expression
Time never can steal,
Whilst your blossoms the comipS
OF spring-timo reveal,
Still, still We are welc0urf
In sorrow or bliss,
Remorse never mipgles
With feeling ike this
As first love to the bosom,
So you, to the year,
In your innocent beatty.
And freshness appear!
The summer may bring US
Its sunshine and flowers,
Pertaining the vallics,
Entwining the bowers
Ger beds ofswect roses,
The zcphyrs may fly
And breathe on each iowfet.
Tho same balmy sigh.
In loneliness bending,
Beneath the rough blast,
Your gentle forms raising,
When danger is past.
Shining on! shining or.
Like Hope, We appear,
First flowers of the spring thug

'cy respectfully,
Your obi sesyA,

u 9'he Washington papers state the ex,raordinars-
toc' that Mr.. Van Moss appointed Minister to SPAN
is not expected to 90 ont for six months WHY was
Mr. Van Mesa appointed six months before the tinp
When Zen. Jackson was resolved to recall Mr. Ever
ett' If twas deemed expedicnt to permit Mr. Ely.
erett to remain at Madrid SIX months longer yfIy
not await until the expiration Of that tile to appoint
his SUCCESSOR Is true, that tho lac allows foreign
ministers to draw their salaries from the n,ornent tho
appointment is conferred upon them' And has Mr.,
Van Ness been appointed six months before he will
be required to CO. in order to give him the benefit Of
this provision of the law
We make these enquiries in fair spirit.
We are informed that Mr. Won Ness has riG1t
to have his salary from the moment be &C,
cepts the appointment, u.'er the legal prcsumptiop
that the time intervening before his departure is np-
ccssariy devoted to the settlement Of his private
Affairs. But the lay never could have contemplated
slz months to be necessary for this object and VIC
arc obliged to conclude from the facts of the case that
President Jackson in the abundance of disgrace and
favor, has made Gov. Van Ness gratuity of 81 500
(six months saary) out of the Treasury by way Of
compensation for his Vermont services.
