Texas is Annexed.

We have received the New York Sun,
Ertra, containing the announcement of the
annexation Of Texas which we give in another
column. Whether Mexico will declare war
against this country Oh account Of the course
which Texas has chosen to pursue in relation
to this measure cannot much longer remain
in the dark--if she does, she cannot hope,
relying alone upon her own resources, to do
it it with any degree of success, unless there
should be found many in this country who
have joined the anti-American, British, peace
party and pledged themselves--nay, bound
tn emselyes not to do service for their country
and. even then, we will find enough Of
stout hearts and true TO buckle on their ar
mour and contend for their country's cause
as in days of "Auld Lang Syne."

A KISS-WHAT is IT?


A kiss o tits magic spell
That wildly thrills the breast,
And bids it with emotion swell,
When lip to lip is pressed;
IT is friendships pledge-affection' seal
And though It is transient bliss,
Yet still the coolest heart must feel,
The rapture of kiss!
A kiss /! tits loves own tender breath,
Fond language of the heart;
The last communion held in death,
When friends forever part;
When gloomy cares disturb the breast,
No charm can soothe like this;
The mind is sweetly lulled to rest,
Beneath magic kiss!
A kiss! yes, It's dear delight,
Whose memory often cheers,
And shines through clouds serenely bright,
Recalling by-gone years;
Who hath not felt the bosom beat,
With an ecstatic bliss,
AS loving souls together meet
In Transports glowing kiss

PARTISAN AsHIoNs.-A letter from Paris,
dated the 1st ult., thus speaks Of the fash
ions in vogue there:
Since last noticed the fashions, new
change appears on the eve of taking place.
Heretofore, ladies have tried to rival the
rainbow in the colors with which they
adorned their lovely persons; now they ap-
pear to have given the rainbow the go-by,
and to have taken the sky into favor-that
is to say, variety of colors has been sent
adrift, and sky blue has taken its place.
Within the last fortnight have seen, at the
theatres and on the promenades, ladies in
blue bonnets, blue gloves, blue gowns, blue
shawls, blue boots, and, IN cold weather, blue
noses. They are blue all over. The inno-
vation is SO daring that it creates droll ef-
feet at first; but, like every other oddity in
dress, the eye soon gets accustomed to it.
As for the fashions of gentlemen, if the New
York and Washington e1egantes will only
take the trouble 10 make themselves as much
like monkeys as possible, they may 60 to
sleep every night with the comforting assur-
ance that they are in the dernierS modes de

The following paragraph from London
paper will give some idea of the prevailing
fashion in that city:
Fashionable colors are now mostly of &
sombre hue, as well as those shot silks
which produce all the colors of the rain.

allows of mixture of colors being tht
Pekin damas, which has broad black stripe
upon ground of moroon, blue and green
sometimes, indeed, the ground is of light
er color, such as pink or sky blue, the stripe
being then of white Pekinee.

HOPE.
BY PARK BENJAMIN.

BY PARK BENJAMIN.
Hope never leaves the human heart:
She sheds ray beneath the plume
Disable Death-will not depart,
But, like the moonbeam through the gloom
Where storm-clouds thicken, breaks and shine:
So that the gazer, lost and lone,
Joys that beyond those dark confines
A purer, brighter orb is known.
Man is immortal: Hope reveals
The solemn truth, or why should we
Long for the home that Time conceals
In some blest cline beyond the sea?
The pillows dash, life's fragile bark
Reels to the shock, yet on we sail:
Hope is our pilot, bids us mark
The beacon's blaze, nor heed the gale.
There are no terrors for the breast
Ofhim whom Hope sustains and cheers;
And though her promises are best
For merry minds and youthful years,
Still, when upheld by virtue, Age
Woos her mild soace, soft she breathes
Amid the white locks of the sage.
And rose buds in his chaplet wrcathes.
The sweet CONSIDER! | have seen
Her spirit in a form of earth
A simple girl she seemed, with mein
Of tender grace and modest mirth.
She gently opened howell door
And 10 broad, rich CLEAN of light
Poured in, and all the dark before
Became, like her, serenely bright
l saw dungeon-chained and worn
With anguish lay brave, strong man:
He fought for Freedom, and was borne
Away, while blood in torrents ran
From hearts, whose loss nation wept-
Hope came at length, like his own child,
And whispered that Oppression slept:
The patriot stood erect and smiled.
Best boon of Heaven-she visits all,
But most with Grief prefers to dwell;
She flashes swift through crowded hall,
And loiters long in lonesome DELL
Ideal nymph. thou'rt all to me,
Sister and bride, and angel too;
Say, is there one on earth like thee,
So gentle, constant, fond and true?
