What . gentle and quaint train Of thoughts is
breathed forth in the sweet verse Of Lovelace- How
sunny must have been the mind that could compose
such q poem rs the following in prison Z Lovelace
was a man Of wit and fashion, and was in great "a
vor with the ladies. He ran through large fortune
and died in poverty. This song it is said, was writ
ten when he wan confined in the Gate House for pre-
senng petition 4from the whole body Of the coun-
" of Kent to the House of Commons, for restoring
Tho King (Charles u to his rights" IN. o. Pic.
When love with unconfned wings %
Hovers within my gates,
And my divine Althea brings
To whisper at my CRATES;
4 When ] lie tangled in her hair,
a. And fetterd to her eye,
The bids that wanton in the air,
Know no such liberty.
When flowing cups run swiftly round
With no alIaying Thames,
Our careless heads with roses bound,
Our hearts with loyal flames:
When thirstysgriefs in wine we steep;
When health and draughts are free
Fishes that tipple in the Deep
Know no such liberty.
When like committed linnets,I
" it'll thriller throat shall sing
The sweetness, mercy, majesty,
And gories of my king;
When TSshall voice aloud how good
He is, how great should be-
Entangled winds that curl the flood
Know no such liberty.
Stone walls do not prison make,
Nor iron bars cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an heritage:
III have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free
Angels, alone-that soar above,
Enjoy such liberty.

The MINES OF MExlCO-1he mines are the
grand object which has connected the idea Of
unbounded wealth and romantic splendor with
the name Of Mexico. Gold and silver by a
natural illusion, have always shone 10 the eyes
Of mankind with lusire beyond that of any
other metal. Peru, indeed, offers gold in much
greater abundance-but Mexico, since the first
discovery, has produced more silver than all
the rest Of the world united. The silver ore of
Mexico is far from rich; it seldom yields more
than t,Tss four ouaces "a the 9aintal of sarth.
while that of Saxony yields ten or even fifteen
ounces. 1t is situated also, very deep in the
ground the quantity however, is immense,
and obtained with comparatively little difficult
ty-for instead of being. as usual, placed in
| the heart Of dreary and almost inaccessible de-
| sers, the mines occupy the very best situation
Of the great table plain, and surrounded with
brilliant Vegetation, and with all the means Of
comfortable subsistence. There are 5000
mines in Mexico; most of them, however, are
now unproductive, and even ruinous; but adj
venturers have been encouraged 10 begin and
to preserve while particle of their capital re-
manned, by the enormous profits which have,
in few instances, been realized.
The produce CT the mines continued increas-
ing until the commencement Of the revolution.
From 1850 to 1859 the average appeared TO be
1866, 900; from l77l TO 1903 it was $l9,
68s, 900; but 10 the first years of the present
century the duties levied implied an amount Of
$22, 100000; and, allowing for contraband,
the total might probably he $23, 100000.
During the dreadful convulsion of this late
revolution, the amount was greatly reduced
the water having in many instances been al
lowed to rush in, the machiaery destroyed, and
workmen dispersed.
The annual average produce since the revo-
luton is not more than $12,OO0,OO0. The
silver coined in the mint of Mexico, which in
1910 amounted to the value Of $l7,O50,O00,
had fallen, in 1925 to SO ,65l 900.
The mint of Mexico is prodigious estab-
lishment, in which all the processes are carri-
ed on with the greatest activity. 1t is capable
Of stamping 81 100000 within the hour. So
rapid an operation is seldom required, yet there
have passed through it probably upwards of

the recently avewed though now disguised, hostI
Ity of the self styled democratic party to the protec

which has brought the northern opposition mem

OF the whole matter is, that opponents resist

'sThose who maintain that the principles OF

is protect the South, do great injustice To those
enlarged, xpansive and liberal doctrines. To sup
pose that thu doctrines of Free Trade to be in
culcdted for the particular ard special benefit of
any particular section, class or interest, is
render them obnoxious to the objections
WHICH ARE FATAL in my opinion, tn what
is called the PROTECTIVE TARIFF POLICY.
The principles of Free Trade calculated TO do
Justice to all portions of the Union; they tend,
will not say to protect since that word has been so
much misused, but to- give free scope to industry,
and afford equal advantages every class OF
society. TIE calculated 10 prevent special
Legislation for special interests and for particular
