THE NEW CABINET

No one seems TO be certain OF The composition
Of The Cabinet Mr. Polk keeps his own coun-
sells well; and we were assured on Saturday, BY
good authority, that il could not be known before
the 9Th March, when The new Senate assemblies,
with the new Vice President in The Chair. The
last version we have OF the Cabinet is from the
Baltimore papers, as follows:
"Mr Buchanan of Pa, Secretary Of Stale; Mr..
Bancroft Of Mass. Secretary OF the Treasury:
Mr.. Butler of Kentucky, Secretary OF War; Mr..
Mason OF Virginia, Secretary Of the Navy; Mr..
Saunders OF n. c., Postmaster General; Mr..
Walker Of Mississippi. Attorney General.
There is one thing, however, which induces us
to doub, The entire correctness OF this caste OF the
characters. There is no representative in it from
the Empire State.
Since writing The above, we have received the
Baltimore American OF yesterday morning, which
gives the following dramaliS person;e from lis
Washington correspondent Of March Isl:
James Buchanan, Secretary OF State.
Robert J. Walker Secretary Of the Treasury.
VIM L. Marcy, Secretary of War.
John Y. Mason. Secretary oflhe Navy.
Cave Johnson. Post Master General

r II e ROAD OF LIFE.


BY SAMUEL LOVER.
Oh youth. happy youth what blessing
In the freshness Of dawn and Of dew
When hope tho young heart is caressing
And our griefs arc but light and but few.
But in life as it swiftly glidcs DER us,
Some musing for sadness we find
In youth we've our troubles before us
In age we leave pleasures behind.
Ay, troubles the post boy that drives us
Up hill, till we get TO the top;
While joys an old servant behind us,
We call on forever to stop.
Oh, put ON the drag, joy, my jewel,
AS long as the sunset still CLOVIS;
Before it is dark 'twould be cruel
To haste TO the hill foot's rcpose
But there stands an inn we must stop at
An cxtinguisber swings for sign;
That house is but cold and but narrow,
But the prospect beyond is divine
And there, whence there's never returning.
When we travel, travel we must,
May the gates be all free for our Journey,
And the tears Of our friends lay the dust.
