but himself; and then TO add to his
troubles he was chased by pirate,
and in running in towards the shore
he struck reef and wrecked his
vessel.
On approaching the female APP
partments, our ears were saluted
by the sweet music of a rich, soft
voice singing, in melancholy tones,
the delightful air from Somnambula
of
"Slil so gently DER me stealing
Memory will bring back the feeling"
We listened with delight at the mu-
sic, and sorrow for the singer, until
the air was ended, and then approach
de the pretty warbler, who was sea-
ted at the window looking with mois-
tened eyes at the setting sun. On
hearing the sound ofour footsteps she
turned her head, and on recognizing
the Dr., smiled with such sweet
sad melancholy, that tears inyol-
UNFAIRLY started to the eyes of the
beholderS. | never before beheld
such classic features, and such a
purely spiritual countenance. Her
almost transparent complexion, her
large clear blue eyes, her shadowy
form, and long flowing white dress,
aided the illusion, and one almost
doubted his senses when looking at
the being before him and regarding
her as human. 81 am happy to see
you, gentlemen" she said with a
sweet smile, as the DR.. introduced
us. "You are very kind to call up
on me, and | hope you will allow me
the pleasure of your company at
dinner; and then you must accomp-
ny me to the opera. | am so de-
lighted with the new pieces that |
cannot stay away and then turn
ing to the DR.. she directed him to
have her carriage brought to the door
Immediately after dinner. She then
asked us if we were pleased with
the arrangement Of her house, and
appologized for its plainness, by tel
ling us that she expected to start
soon for Europe, to begone several
years, and had not thought it worth
while to have her house ornamented
until her return. And then she
dwelt upon the anticipated pleasures
of her journey, spoke with delight Of
the fine scenery of Italy, the beau
ties of the Rhine, and the fire paint
ings of Rubens, Rembrent, Angelo,
and Guido-preferring the works OF
the former to all the others. And
then she asked us if we had read the
recent translation Of Dante, and
spoke with Judgment upon the COM
parative merits OF Goethe and By
ron. Thus this maniac went on
showing highly cultivated mind
and refined taste, and had we staid
the DR.. informed us, that she would
have talked in the most sensible
manner for hours. She is passion
ately fond of music, and when alone
sings constantly. Like the dying
swan, her last moments are exhaled
in sweet music. She is consump-
tive and soon her angelic soul will
take its flight for the companionship
of angels, for whose society she
seems alone fitted. She is not vet
eighteen, and lost her reason by a
fall. Her loveliness and purity
ought to have protected her from
misfortune. To lose her reason and
die SO young, is a cruel fate; but
such is the lot of humanity. There
were several other interesting cases
that came under our observation,
but space will not permit me to de-
scribe them in this letter.

THE PLEA OF WEAKNESS.

Mexico is weak, say certain casuists, therefore
do not NEEDLE with the disconsolate damsel,
wandering about the world asking compassion
on her exposedness and restitution. She is
weak, therefore don't seize the opportunity Of
weakness to snatch from her her prey, but give
her time 10 breathe, recruit herself and become
strong, that she may seize il and devour it,
nilions of war against Texas, who is weaker
in pecuniary resources, that she may at the
proper tine explode them in furious efforts at re-
subjugation. BY holding back your arm, en-
Texas; and induce her TO rival us, who, &C
cording to the Intell.gencer, "already rival those
Germanic nations described by Cesar in his
Commentaries, who made it their highest ma
tional boast TO exceed all their neighbors in the
extent of desolation upon their frontiers" Let
US give Mexico that full scope, of descending TO
our level in this respect, to which she has no,
yet reached, that of ''barbarizing backwards"
But if this territory is an immense uninhabitabe
waste for us with twenty millions, why not with
Mexico nearly equal to US in territory, with
less than ten millions2 What neio desolalion
then would ensue7 where would be the loss to
humanity, TO civilization, to the arts2 Would
they go on improving in this vast waste, under
the influence of Mexican proclamations of ex-
termination, Of Mexican Goliads and Alamos
of Mexican priestcraft and bulcheres7 Would
the wilderness smile or look more savage under
her auspices be prospec,ively more bright OF
more gloomy its SHOWS or IFS waters, its val
ieys or its heights be less or more stained with
the blood of men2

Mr.. Bentons bill for the annexation of Texas is a
ridiculous thing and we'll calculated to defeat that
measure altogether. 1t acknowledges the right to
Texas to be in Mexico, but claims for our govern
ment the ability to the right Of Mexico plea
sure. 1t insults Texas by the denial of her sove-
regnty, and Tugs in sectional preudices by introduce
ing the subject Of slavery. How the mighty hath
fallen Samson has been among the harlo,s--is
shorn OF his strength but we hope that this modern
Samson may not be able, like Samson of old to pull
down the pillars Of the temple in which he is station
ed, and bury with himself the farest hopes Of our
country.
