..The. Rose tina, all are Praising.' .


The rose that all arc praising,
Is not the rose for me,
Too many eyes are gazing
Upon that costly tree;
But there's rose in yonder glen
That shuns the gaze of other men,
For me its blossom raising
Oh! that's the rose for me.
The gem king might court,
Is not the gem for me;
From darkness who would move II,
Save that the world may see;
But rve gem that shuns display,
And next my heart worn every day,
So dearly do love it,
Oh! that's the gem for me.
Gay birds in cages pining,
Are not the birds for me,
] The plumes so brightly shining,
care not for to see;
But rve bird that gayly sings,
Though free 10 rove, che folds her wings,
For me her 6ght resignng,--
Oh! that's the biod for me.

BEAuTY.-How often do we lear
some one, wishing for this tinsel orna-
ment! even the brightest literary char
acters, stoop to desire personal attrac-
tons, as if unconscious, that the beau
ty of the mind alone, attracts the no
tice of the rational and the virtuous.
OF what value is personal beauty, if
not associated with cultivated mind?
1t may win the admiration of inferior
intellects; but leta man of soul and SEN
timent be charmed with blaze of per-
sonal loneliness, and he will instantly
ascertain if there is hidden gem be-
meath the beautiful exterior. Like the
flowers Of summer, beauty soon de-
GAYS, and leaves not trace behind oil
it's former lovel;ness--from what source
then must affection expect happiness il
the wife possesses not polished mind
or any Of those endearing qualities
which should distinguish the femal,
sex.

PERSONAL ApPEARANcE.-This is a
thing of accident, resting with nature.
No man or woman can form their own
persons, and none should be praised or
blamed on this head. The desire for
looking we'll is running half the young
people in the world-causing them TO
study their glasses, and paint or patch,
instead Of pursuing that which is last
ing and solid,-the cultivation Of the
mind. 1t is always mark of a weak
mind, ifnota bad heart, to hear per-
son praise or blame another solely be-
cause they are handsome or homely.-
Actions should be the test, and liber-
al course Of conduct pursued to all. II
matters little whether man be tall or
short, whether the blood stains the
cheek or runs in another channel.
Fashion makes the difference as to
beauty. The lily is as sweet, ifnot SO
gay, as the rose, and it bears no thorn
about it. As to appearance, fashion
should not be allowedto bear upon that
which cannot be changed, except by
deception, and that indeed, in reality,
is not worth the trouble of being so,
even if it could.

The L. S. Sloop CT War, Boston, appeared
of tic Drazo, OF or about the 9th inst Her
commander, Capt. Eng!c, having spoken the
Natchez and learned what had occurred, he
repeated the demand which Capt Mervine
had made of the Commanier-in- chicf, adding
that 1t were not complied with. he would az
tack tic vessels of the Mexican squadron, SO
soon as they should leave the forts by which
they were protected, notice which he said,
he felt himself, in duty bound to give, for the
: accommodation OF Commodore Lopez.
This candid and so.dicry message was not
answered, but the Boston received dispatches
from the American Consul, and returned to
Pensacola. Commodore Dallas immediately
gave orders for preparing the whole squadron
fer sea. L: consists of the Frigatc Constei-
lation, four Sloops of War, and the Schooner
Grampus; and was to sail on the oath inst.
for TIE Mexican coast, to enforce the demands
already made.
The situation OF the passengers and crews
of the two American schoonerS, with respect
to their treatment, is precisely as it has been
represented; but the idea prevailing here.
that they have been tried and sentenced to
death for piracy, is incorrect. The case the
Champion and her people, was submitted to
the District Judge Of Matamoros, Don Rafael
Delgado, one Of a well kdown class of Mexican
tunctionaries, whose element is corruption,
and whose sustenance is bribery. lie con-
dempcd the vessel and cargo to confiscation,
pronounced her people to be actionable for
piracy, and passed them over to the military
authorities to be tried. | have no idea that
the court martial will find them guilty, nor
that the miscreant Delgado would dare, how.
ever he might wish to sentence them, if the
final decision depended on him. His object in
forming such charge was probably insult;
and 1t is to be hoped that his government will
be compelled to chastise him in a manner
which will leave lasting lesson for all Mexi-
can Judges.
