THE WASTED FLOWERS.

On the velvet bank of rivnlet sat ROSY child
Her lap was filled with h.wers. and a garland nf
rose buds was twned around her neck Her face
was as radiant as the sunshine that fell upnn il
and her voice was clear as that of the bird
which warhled at her side. The little stream
went singing on, and with every gmsh of its music
the child lifted the flowers in its dimrIed hand
and, with merry laugh, threw them upon its sur
iace In her gIee she forgot that her treasures
were growing less, and with The swift motion of
chIdhood, she flung them upon the sparkling tide.

danced along regardless of her tears: and as il

back in tanning echo along its reedy margin.
And, long after, amid the wailing of the breeze
and the htul bursts of childish grief, was heard
The trnliIess cry, bring back my flowers !"
Merry maiden! who art idly wasting the precious

HON. ROBERT J. WALKER

The New Orleans Republican. edited nv the
Hon j. f. II. Claiborne, gives us the following
Item In the history Of Mr.. Walkers political life.
That this is true, there can be no Doubt for Mr..
Claiborne was then in Congress, member of the
lower house, from Mississippi and the confiden-
tiaI friend of Mr.. Walker. Had his advice then
been taken, how much heart burning and jealousy
would have been saved to the country-ere this.
Texas and California would have been pcaceably
and quietly settled, under the laws of the United
States, and the only ports ON the Pacific of any
value TO us would have been ours But other
connSels prevailed, and now millions of treasure,
pended to secure them--for they will most as
suredly be annexed.
''SECRET HIsToRY.-In 1886 there was a
surplus of over thirty millions of dollars in the
treasury. after Gen. Jackson had paid off the Ma.
tlonal Debt. Mr. Walker prnPnSed Gin an incl
dental debate, when the Senate was sitting with
closed doors, on some nomination or treaty. from
which the injunction of secrecy has since been re-
moved) that Texas and California be purchased
from Mexico, and the thirty surplus millions be
used for that purpose Mexico, oppressed with
bankrupt treasury, rebellious army and starving
population, wonld doubtless, have accented The
proposition. We should have added several
States, To the Conlederacy, secured the integrity
OF our territory, extended the great interests of
commerce, and extingnshed forever all dancer of
abolition. But the Federal and anti Annexation
Influence prevailed. the advances of the TaXan
patriots were scorned, and The surplus millions
were deposited Gas they fraudulentIy termed It)
with the States to be sunk in stocks, or gambIed
away by banks and speculaiors and are irretreiva-
bly, lost to the national treasury"

MENTAL ACTIoN-rrS IMPORTANCE

The first great habit that must lie at the foun
dalton of all others Of useful character is that
OF action. Like the three requisites of the
GrecIan orator, who when asked what were the
constituents of true eloquence, answered that the
first was action, the second, action, and the
third, action /; the mind of man, that it NAV
retain heaihtnI state and thus be capable of
usefulness must be active Else like the stao
nant pool filled with purefaction, exhaling only
disease and death, SO the inert mind, reple,e
only with putrid faculties, diffuses the poison eff
hnvia OF It's own rottenness, communicating all
within the sphere of pestilentia influence.
There are many reasons which may be- urged
to show the necessity Of mental activity. And
first, it is The only source of mental improvements
and mental improvement it is Gods will we
should all make. Why, is it asked What is
The proof? Because, if we look through the
whole length and breadth of nature, we find no
one useless part appendage or power anywhere
bestowed upon any creature or in any way intro
duced throughout the whole of natures vast ma
chnery. Are we then TO suppose that man con-
stIinteS an exception 10 the general rule And
though the myriad of worlds Of which the sys
TEN of the univere is composed the myriads Of
myriads of atoms, of which each world or planet
is composed has each its appropriate part allotted

are possessed by any, in accordance with the
whole great design. to be brought into a Give ex-
ercise; though attraction binds tore,her worlds
and systems Of worlds, though heat animates and
