WE CAN BE RICH WITHOUT MONEY.
The real wants of man are few and easily sup
piled; hence wealth, in the general meaning Of
the term, is not necessary to crafty them. We
can be rich in well cultivated mind, 1t will be
Of more value to US than rubies, or the most pre-
cious jewels. What would be the value ofwealth
compared with knowledge; or the glitter of gold
compared to well cultivated mind! IF we train
and improve our faculties and habits, until we can
understand and appreciate all that is gong Oh in
the world around u.s. ii will be Of more value to Us
than money. We can also be rich, in vie ing and
enjoying the works oi nature though We possess no
wide spread fields or beautiful yslies. The poor
est peasant, if his mind be cultivated, may enjoy
himself while viewing the works of nature. as well
as he on whom God has more beautifully bestow-
ed his blessings. We can also be rich in moral
worth, in love to our neighbors and the world, -
may feel kindred throb for all the miseries and
sufferings of mankind. Richer still is the mar.
whose dependence is in his Creator; ir prosperity
he feels his soul elevated with gratitude and love
to that being who has given him all he enjoys; and
when the clouds of advenity dsrken hi. path, when
MS passions are swept away, When MS friends i0r-
sake him. or death snstches them from his side he
can look above all these and say ".Hy beat reas-
ure is In hedven We can be rich ia the posses.
sion OF pure conscience, and the favor of our
Creator; if we desire wealth to make US happy,
how much happier shall we be il we possess with
it, good conscience; but if our stores are gained
by dishonest means, if we worship at the shrine
of Mammon until the love OF gain has caused Us
to wiring the pitance from the hard hand of indus
ty-or snatch the ci um from the lips of porerfy,
how little pleasure can wealth thus obtsined yield
to Its possessors. or compared with tha, which
springs from the thought of having faithfully per-
formed our duty to our fellow beings Yes. nch
must be the man though poor, in what the world
calls wealth, if he has obtained the favor of his
Creator, if the great ruler of the universe degns
to visit him in his humble abode, need he envy the
wealth filings who can look abroad on the riches
and beautis of nature and say with much truth they
are mine, since my Father made them all.

LATER AND DIRECT FROM VERA CRUZ.

LATER AND DIRECT FROM VERA CRUZ.
We are indebted 10 the courtesy Of Mr.. Tripler a
passenger IN the schooner y. A. Brown, arrived yes
tsrday IRON Havana, for the information which
follows.
Mr. r. left Vera Cruz for Havana on the I'd inst.
in the Br mail steamer Dee, which vessel reached
Havana on the 7th inst AT the last accounts Santa
Anna was at San Martin de Sesmoluca, about four
leagues from Pueba, with force Of about 5000
men, mostly mounted on horses taken from the In
habitants. Gen. Paredes being in close pursuit,
with army OF 5000 men, but maneuvering and
avoiding conflict, as matter of policy, as Santa
Annals forces were daily decreasing, on account Of
desertons from his ranks, while Gen. p. was rapidly
acquiring strength.
The city of Mexico had been we'll fortified and
every precaution taken TO prevent or rePel an as
sault. The aqueducts had been opened, and the
mole which surrounds the CITY filled with water, and
there was force Of some 10000 armed citizens pre-
pared to defend it,
At Vera Cruz, Also Notifications were in process,
and tho citizens arDng. The steamer .do~fs-
.uma left Vera Cruz short time before the Dee,
bound TO Campeachy for troops, and reinforce
mens were also expected from Alvarado and Tlaca-
talplan.
A decree had been issued by the Mexidan Con-
gress declaring SANTA ANNA traitor and an outlaw,
and authorizing any Who may meet with him to take
his life. Measures had also been adopted to prevent
his escape by guarding the different sea ports and
other outlets and it believed that he must eventu-
ally be captured. A person named Arellano, an in
divdua ia the interest OF Santa Anna, with ad-
dtonal confidential correspondence had been taken,
and it was supposed he would be executed.
Mr.. Triplcr states that the whole country is IN a
state of the utmost confuson-robberies OF travel
lers we're committed daily, and he himself was twice
sripped of whatever was valuable about him in his
progress through Mexico, but without any ind'gnity
being offered to his person. 1t is the opinion Of Mr.
T from what he could learn, that the new govern
ment would be as much If not more viruently OPP
posed to the annexation Of Texas as the former, and
states that Americans held in great adherence,
and receive frequent insults at the hands of the Mex
cans
