The New Orleans "Tropie' Of the 9th (receiyed
this EVENING" contains long letter from Vera Cruz,
June "a, which says:
"There will be declaration Of war, in few days, By
this government against the United States Orders have
just been received to have all the public archives
TO Jalapa which is sixty miles in the interior for safe
keeping This looks like making prepSraton'
This unqualified assertion requires confirmation.
The Mexican manifesto certainly keeps the door
open, either for peace or for war-to be determin-
ed by future events. We learn that our government
has received dispatches by the late arrival down to
the 10th of Juns) from the capital, but they give
nothing decisive.

MISCELLA An EOUS.
NO HEART ALONE.

81 have learned" says the melancholy Pcstaloz
=, that in this wide world no heart is able or will
nd to help another"
n saw moi we through life must struggle,
Must toll and mourn alone
That no one human heart can answer
The bcatings Of our own.
The stars look down from the silent heavens
Intothe quiet stream,
And see themselves from its dcwy depths
In frcsher beauty CLEAN.
The SKY, with its pale or glowing hucs,
Ever painteth the ..~--e beie-., -
,r,i the sea sends up its mist to form
Bright clouds and the heavenly bow.
Thus each does Of the other borrow
A beauty motifs own,
And tells US that no thing IN nature
Is for itself alone.
Alone. amidst llfe's griefs and pcrils,
The stoutest heart may quail
Left 10 its own unaded efforts,
The strongest arm may fail.
And tho all strength still comes from Heaven.
All light from God above,
Ye,we may sometimes be his angels,
The apostles of His love.
llen let us learn to help each other,
Hoping unto the end;
Who sccs in every man brother,
Shall .inI in each friend.
