From the same. KINGDOM COME.

BY oTWAY CURRY. l do not believe the sad story Of ages that sleep in the tomb; l shall pass far away to the glory And grandeur of Kingdom Come. The pleasures of death and it's stiffness May rest on my brow for a while' And my spirit may lose in it's chiliness The splendor of hope's happy smile. But the gloom of the grave will be transient And light as the slumbers of worth; And then shall blend with the ancient And beautiful forms of the earth. Through the climes ofthe sky, and the bowers Of bliss, evermore shall roam; Wearing crowns of the stars and the flowers That glitter in Kingdom Come. The friends who have parted, before me, From Life's gloomy passion and pain, When the shadow of Death passes o'er me, W ill smile on me fondly again. Their voices are lost in the soundless Retreats of their endless home; But soon we shall meet in the boundless Efulgeneeo of Kingdom Come.

 WHAT SHALL BE MY THEME? Lady, shall I sing of Love Of moon-lit stream and shady grove, Oftwo fond hearts that wandered there, To breathe their yows--a happy pair! But what Is Love in modern times! Iris only found in idle rhymes We sing of vows-of grove and stream, Alas! 'tis all poets dream:
 Then what shall be my theme2 Shall 1t be battle lay Of clashing steel and dread affray? Of all that mingles in a fight, The gory field, and sullen flight! The dying shrieks-the struggling breath, As yields the fallen man to death! But such a theme thou wouldst not hear 1t is not meet for ladys ear:
 What then shall be my theme? Shall I, Lady, sing of life? This, too, is but a scene of strife From manhood's dawn to hoafY age, One eeaseless warfare we but wage; The world is one wide battle field We war with care-to death VIC yield; In vain do we misfortune brave, Our only refuge Is the grave:
 What then shall be my theme! Shall 1t be of by-gone days, When Hope threw forth her brightest rays When Time flew by on golden wing, And Pleasure in cur path did fling Her cheerful light and sweetest flowers, And Mirth did crown the rosy hours! Bright, blessed time! We sigh to turn From scenes for which the heart doth yearn:
 This must not be my theme.  The present is dreary track, Our thoughts are ever flying back To that brief hour of childhood free; When all our life was poetry Then turn with heaViness to trace Anew our dull and misty race; The present only starts sigh, Deep shadows shroud in gloom its sky:
 It shall not be my theme. Cannot futurity inspire, find wake to song. the silent Tyre? Cannot we, with prescience bold, Its hidden mysteries unfold, And sing of things to come, with strain That shall revive our hopes again! 1t may not be--a secret spell Moves OCT its chords to hush their swell:
 It cannot be my theme. Be thou my theme, o Death!--to thee Will we pour forth our minstrelsy- To thee, who bringest glad repose To hearts bowed down and crush'd with woes When folded in thy mighty arm, We are released from every harm;- Then take our lay! Our humble song Is thine--to thee 1t doth belong!
 Death-Death shall be my theme!

Affairs do not look promising in Mexico. A letter from that city, dated on the lst August, states that the Congress was then sitting with closed doors, "attempting to do what they have been ordered,' but without success. A gang of robbers had plunder- ed one of the churches, and nlal-treated it's servants. Ii appears from an authentic statement that the amount of money [coio) entered at Tamaulipas, for exportation, du- ring the year ending on the 30th June last was S7,o30,68l A. The government duty is two per cent. During the same period there were exported, in silver bars, Sls6,- l7l.- Ball. fin.

From the same. A r AIR SONG.

EY T. GREGG. The stars shine bright And clear tonight, And tire-hy lamps are gleaming- The wood-fire spark Illumes the dark, And meteors high are streaming. Upon the hill
 Each leaf is still, And silent is the bower-- Then weave the song And dance along, Until the morning hour.
 Within the ring
 We'll dance and sing Till glows the rosy morning. Far OCT the sky
 fsnd mountains high, It's beams the earth adorning. Then join the ring, And joyous sing, While fire-ay lamps are gleaning-- We'll sing our song
 Tonight as long As heavenly lights are streaming.

AS has already been ascertancd from examinations
Of the etrns that the of the last quarter exceeds
that of the corresponding quarter Of the last year about
twelve per cent may be safely stated that the surplus
of revenue expenditure, Tor TINT quarter, will DO
about $3.50 0U0 and that there was, the Goth Septcm
Der last surplus of available the whole debt
of the Department, amounting to about 100000 1t is
confidently expected that this surplus will be increased
at the end Of the current quarter, TO about 0OO and
the end of the next quarter to about $340 600 The
old debts due contractors and Others paid
fast as they presented and can be adjusted; and the
accumulation OF funds notwithstanding these payments,
is 80 considerable to justify belief that 100000 Of
the remaining bank debt may be paid in January next,
and the balance in April.
The undersigned takes pleasure in presenting you
with the data which justify this anticipation lie is
happy say, that far from needing any pecunary aid
from the Treasury the Department may be presented to
