MEXICAN LETTERS OF MAReUE. The New
Orleans Bulletin, referring to the report that
Mexico had issued letters of margue and re-
prsaIs against our commerce, says:
The letters we have seen-from an undoubt-
ed source in the city of Mexico-states that
these commissions had actually been forwarded
to Vera Cruz, and other letters, from the most
reliable sources at Havana, say they had been
brought there by Don Felix Rivera, who came
to that port in the last British steamer, from
Vera Cruz, and that his mission from the Mex
lean government was to take measures for car
rying the plan into effect, The adyices from
Mexico stated that Don Rivera's mission was
connected with the negotiation of loan, IN
Europe, for 20,o00,000 Of dollars, the very alb
surdity of which report retutes itself
Accompanying the commissions, we learn
there are large number of patents for citizen
ships, which are Of course intended to make
nominal Mexican citizens Of all that may en-
bark in these cruizers.
The Spanish authorities in Cuba, it appears,
are determined to act in good faith towads the
United States, in this business, and will dc all
in their power to prevent or destroy any at
tempt of the kind, but it is extremely doubt
full, even with the best intentions and exer-
tons, whether they may be able to do So TO tht
full extent that could be desired, when we re-
collect the number of desperadoes that are
always not only to be found on that Island, bu
who would flock there from every quarter o
the world, and whose cupidity would he so ct
fectiyely reused by the prospect Of preying OF
the rich and varied commerce Of the United
States.

TEMPERANCE.

There 10 feature of our cause that has not
received sufficient attention even by those who
have most considered the subject. II is not
the work Of single age or country; but one
for ALL ages and countries-to endeavor to
prevent men from the immoderate use cf the
rood things Of life, and induce them TO abstain
from the hurtful things. And while the ma
ture OF man remains as it is. il will be nscessa-
ry TO restrain HIM in these particulars for we
know that without such restraint his true hap
piness cannot be promoted. The inconsider-
ate may say what they please Of the novelty
Of the temperance cause, and contend that i,
mus, 70 down. and that men will after while
see the folly in engaging in it but we hold
the opinion Of vast majority Of the good men
around us, that our cause is inseparately con.
nected with the best interests of man, and will
always be needful while there remaineth any
50 foolish to make ardent spirits, OF to sell or
to use them as beverage. Total abstinence
from all Intoxicating drinks is doctrine foun-
ded on Bible principles--on Christian pre-
ceps, and like the other bible doctrines will
continue to gain ground and do good to the
end Of time; or at least 80 long as there exists
any necessity for the operation Of the work.
which it is more than likely there will always
be, for though we believe the world will gruw
wiser than now ON the subject, yet men will
through all time need the restrains Of the gos-
pei, in order that their characters be adorned
with the virtues Of christianity--one Of which
is temperance. Let no friend of this cause
therefore entertain single fear about any ap-
parent falling away Of interest in the cause,
which he may observe on the part Of some.
1t is so with all great works that apply to all
ages, and places; for time they may seem
to decline, but their course is onward to final
triumph and success.

We think Of thee, my brother, now,
While thou ar, far away,
At morn, at noon we think Of thee,
i And at the close of day,
For youths wild dreams have tempted thee
Away from friends and home,
From our BELOVED New England hills
In western wilds to roam.
When brother dost thou think of us?--
Attwilghts balmy hour p
Do thoughts Of home come o'er thee then
With resistless power2
trust that is even so - Aa t"a
1t would be. thus with me,
If forget at other times,
! then should think of thee.
Thou wishest could roam with thee
Beneath those forest trees,
And with thee view those western birds,
And list their harmonies.
Those trees may be majestic, but a i
To me could mol be dear,
As groves, we loved in childhood, and
ne CiiH uSco SPiCduiIS here.
I do not doubt those western birds wr
Are beautiful as ours,-- "
Perhaps they sing as sweetly too
Amid the wild wood bowers v.
But brother tell me truly now,
Would'st thou not rather hear . VI.
Our bobolink and whippoorwill,
And robins notes so clear2
Oh! thou hast spoke glowingly

In that plot Of ours
No,-these beside our sisters grave,

On western prairies are.
