The young bachelors of Texas, to tho
number Of 5000. and many Of wlnm bear
on their brow the glorious laurcls Of San
Jacinto, and therefore are ''douhIy armed"
for female conqucsts, have addressed an an
swer to the 5000 yankee lasscs of Bosom
who petitioned Congress against Union
with Texas. Like much of what the fair
sex say about the mailer Of union, no. ,Ie
icXas youth suppose means, in this in
stance, yes" They pray ardcnlly. at least
ior domestic union, and their PRAYER, wc
presume, will be respectfully listened 10;
the more so probably because, as the Ilou,
ton Telegraph suggests, many of ,hc a!orc

the Rubicon. The memorial runs ,l,us:-

lair, alias. the 1000 young ladies of Boston,
who signed petition to the Congress of The
unted States, against tic annexation of
Iexas to the Union Of the North.

LECTION which moro scnsibiy embitrcrs thc
course you have adopted towards us. We
are aware that The rclinements of the arc

such is the anxiety of government officers
to promote an emigration of the fair rin.,

(beins nearly all bachclors,) ,hcv have
granted to each lady two thirds of a lca.uc

These considerations should prevent Won
from forming hasty opinion against us.

WINTER EVENINGS are seasons for do
mestic comfort, mental application and so-
ciali.y. They are delightful periods of
lime when the rude bla ore heard will
out, and the storm beats the snug easement,
and the bright firesde reveals lis subs,an.
,lal joys. They are not fictitious ones

Gus action together. These evenings should
be the means of great and permanent good
to the young. They should not be passed
III sluggish and criminal inaction. Thcy
should not be friltcred away in listless idle
ness, accumula,ing nothing, but squantcr-
ing inestimablo treasure.
We design simply to urge upop vo,,,r
men the Improvement of those precjous nc9
RODS III their existence. They arc prer-

them TO positions Of influence and respcc1a-
Iity in society. Much, very much, NAV
be accomplished by mental application, al
terithe labOrs Of the field or work shop have
closed. The body may weary and the
| limbs tire, but the mind is still vigorous and
feels nothing of lassiudo and exhaustion.-
apply 1t then every evening to settled
pursuit, to some practical study. Let not

init criminal act ofinjustice to themselves.
who arc content with the performance of :,
daily task at the bench or in the field
ihey should remember that the mind rather
than the bod.y, demands of them intelligent
care as well as assiluous cultivation.
