TRANSLATION.
Steals the sweet evening o'er the dewy twilight
Which fades away half smiling, half in tears;
As Hopes evanish from topers skylight,
Leaving behind train of dusky fears;
These mutter dismal groans darkness spent,
And men instructive shun the Haunted Tenement.
As fades the dusk the concave deeper grows
To dream-entranced, star-gazing Poetaster;
Swels his pure spirit with internal thrOes
He glances up-sublimity flows faster,
Siriketh the darkness to his Uranium, where
Conceptions, bat-like, glide in damp and cloudy air
Now nature smiles no longer in the rIl,
Nor CLEANS fantastic in the summer cloud
Nor imaged sleeps IN frowning crag or hil
Starting by glimpses from her clayey shroud
But, traced IN shadowy outline she appears
and gloomy shape, stricken by sweep of years
Slowly she draws misty nsh-cap on,
And winds a cloud about her for curtain,
Settles her cldsh locks. and sinks upon
An airy couch to seek repose 'us certain;
In few moments, after curt gyratons,
Murnurs the midnight deep with nasal intonations.
See, rising from their sweet and silvery sleep,
Glide the weird sisters DER the upper OCEAN
Each wave the bush-ends OF their bgoomstcks sweep
Cleaning for opiaie spells some deadly potion
SO shining poets gtteTing without number,
1u by their sleepy draughts, their auditors slumber
on fancy lifted pierce the dark unknown
Vel ofthe Future OF the Past the shroud!
There prtntoms Of the brave and pure have flown,
Their shadowy structures weaving in the cloud.
50 The poor student with ill-feigned defiance,
The glarng spectres face, of mathematic science
As slowly glide the rose-wreathed clouds the while,
Flushing with passiofint the face OF Heaven,
Breaks o'er her languid brow holy smile.
trembling ray the chaos void has riven;
Steals Der the soul beauieous revelation,
Ad, family shadowed forth, glimmers creation
So in the blockhead's pate, if some sweet ray
of sense sau Iinger DER the horizons verge,
Slowly the murky darkness steals away
Aad forms fantastic from the gloom emerge;
His mind, stagnant pool no fair words glance
Bur shadowy frogs and tadpoes meath surface dance
Trcmbles the death sigh the m1nstrers tongue.
Yet suffer, ere it pass an admoniton,
Ye whose faint hearts too finely far are strung,
VINO start and shudder at a coalition,
'As gross Quoth ye as blending peace and pain
How the pure sublime eer pierce boobys brain -
Ye craven souls! cannot sympathize
With those by silly subjects 50 perplext;
Ye need not scan the deep, trace the skies,
Topierce the mystery read tins homelytext,
Which Reasons pages to your sight extend
Paes, like balloons stuffed with gas viii always upwa

The Veteran.

1t was Sabbath morn,
The bell had chimed for church,
And the young and gay were gathering
Around the rustic porch.
There came an aged man,
In soldiers garb was he,
And gazing round the group he cried,
do none remember met"
The veteran forgot
His friends were changed or gone;
The manly forms around him there
As children he had known.
lie pointed to the spot
Where his dwelling used to be,
Then told his name, and smiling said,
You nor remember me-"
Alas! none knew him there
>He pointed to stone
On (which the name be breathed was tracd,
A Name to them unknown.
And then the old man wept,
81 am ,eiendless now" cried he,
",,Yhere had many friends in youth,
No, one remembers me!''

IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS,

The New Orleans Tropic of the Oath
| ult publishes letter from Texas, which
contains some strange Developments
After stating, that government had adver-
tised the Nary for sale, and would sell
it, if the people did not prevent it, the
writer adds.
Now, Messrs. Editors, your particu-
lar attention. if you please. Gen. Muir
ply, U. S. Charge to Texas, has left the
seat of government Washington and is
now in this city. Strange rumors are
ahoat-about the cause of his removal
from thence--and other matters in COLI
nection herewith. Mr.. Abel, bearer of
dispatches for the U. S: Government,
who was wrecked on the Sarah Barnes,
will, hope, be more fortunane on the
schooner Galveston, which conveys this
letter, and reach his government in safe.
I ty. On his arrival at Washington city,
there will be some strange developments
made public, which are topics of daily
conversation in Texas. Although YOU
will discover nothing but dark hints
from the press, will draw aside the
veil, Messrs. Editors, for your especial
benefit. as remember to have seen in
your paper frequent predictions of the
very treason which | now have the NOR
LITIGATION to announce. 1t is this: That
Gen. Murphy suspected some secret ma
chlnations between the British and Tex
an Governments, highly detrimental to
the United States interests. and forth
with set about discovering the nature of
tie mystery. This he was enabled to
do during the absence of President
Houston at the Indian Treaty Ground
he being furnished with well authentica-
ted and undoubted copies of the entire
reasonable correspondence held by the
President with the representatives. of the
British and Mexican Governments
binding himself to send commissions to
recognise the nominal sovereignty of
Mexico provided that the Government
will thereuoon cede Texas to Great Brit
ain, for consideration! Texas will
then be a British province. by cession
from Mexico and consent of tie Execu-
tive of the Republic the confirmation
OF the Senate and sanction of the people
can be relied on, Git is supposedly after
sustaining the ordeal which the President
has led them through. Once a province
of Great Britain, and the immediate alb
clifton of slavery follows as matter of
course but Il consideration is secured
for the stakeholder. Free ports, cheap
goods, smuggling. and the consequent
inf1uS Of European population, will soon
