KINDNESS.

Ills this that sweetens bitter woe,
a. And checks the rising sigh, '
When trouble sinks the spirit low, .a
And even hope doth flyl tu
A gentle word can soothe the breast, ~
When griefthe heart doth fill;
For, though the soul be all unrest, '..
h. It's powerlhe storm can still;-
Can bid the angry clouds depart, aa
And brighten up with Joy !, .
he sky or love within the heart,
That tempests would destroy.
How gloomy would this world appear,
Did not loves gentle eye
Shine on our path the way TO cheer,
Like radience from on high! ..
Mlslortune's hand may on us fall,
And wither fairest flowers; @ l.t
Yes even Death, with fearful pail,
Approch life's lovliest bowers
Yet kindness drives away the gloom, l.
That hovers o'er the soul,
And gilds with hope the fearful tomb,
Though clouds of darkness roll.

SECRET WORTH.


There are sweet flowers hid in the tangled wild
That yield not incense up attfI ass3
AS the light wind plays with the mossy veil
That conceals each silvery cup; ts.
But when the wind with deeper power
Comes floating the air, A;@ dN1f
Stirring each vine and leaf, we find t-al /
Anincense-mine is there
There Is music meath the lute's light strings, h
But its sweetness is all in vain
While the curtain of silence within its folds
Enshrouds its joyous strain. ssS1f19
But should some hand all gently wake s 8s
The chords from their quiet sleep,
Forthito the breeze twill quickly send '"
A thrilling tone and deep. 'sJ |~os
There are gems Of wealth In each humble heart
Tho hid beneath the dust, si aoa@l "'
And dimness the worlds cold selfshness sas
Will fling where we fondly trust; :...s
But let the ray from Kindness sun
Pierce its depths with their holy power, .@.0&
And Hood Of light shall reflect each CLEAN, Il,
And glow brighter each passing hour. !

so early attained such excellence than that they
have not yet achieved perfection both in excellence
aud cheapness Show US any five years of steady
and efficient Protection in which they have not made
rapid advances in both respects, and an argument
will be found against farther and steady persistence
in that policy.
A word on the recent change ofpolicy in Great
Britain, and we pass to notice the peculiar features
ofthe new Tariff. That Great Britain has reduced
most duties, is true, but has she done so in any in

the earth but the United States and Mexico, would
country deserve any credit for liberay in re-.
pealing her duties on Cotton fabrcsl Would she
eviuce hearty conversion to the principle of uni.
versal Free Trader Would it be quite fair in her
to urge Mexico to do likewise because OF her exam
pie? Now il England, after a hundred years eff
cent Protection, finds herself in a condition to ui,.
dersel other nations in nearly every article she pro-
duces we cannot consider her course fairly held up
an example for others. Grant that she has acted
wisely, it by no means follows that others may
wisely follow her example. If il be said that hel
prospective free importation Of Grain is in point w.
answer that Great Britain can and does produc
Grain about as cheaply as any other country on III
face Of the earth. finer prices are higher il is be
cause OF the enormous rents paid for her arabic soil
These rents may be reduced, but her Agrcultur

Latest from the Army.

The steamship Telegraph at New Orleans, the
18th, brings The latest advices from the army. A
friend who came passenger in the T., and who
had the best opportunity Of being made acquainted
with the existing state Of things there has furnished
with the following resume Of the general news
1t is from Camargo TO the 7th inst. and from Mat.
amoros to the 10th.
On the 9th inst, Gen. Taylor crossed the San
Juan, and the 9Th took up the line of march for
Seravo, where Gen. Worth, with his command
had halted Hays regiment was to have left Chi
for the same destination, intending TO reach
there simultaneously with Gen. Taylor. Gen.
Taylor, in his march, is prepared for any emergen.
cy-either an advance or retreat He permitted
no soldier or officer to take more baggage with
him than he could conveniently carry on his back
A number Of steamers had reached Matam0ros with
the extra baggage and the Quartet Of the Zapa
dores was converted into depot for it, All tn,
supplies for the advancing army, far have bee,
sent on by pack mules, and the General expects t.
have 80 days provisions for IL 900 men at Seray'
when he reaches il. The general impression is tina
he will there make halt, aud not advance further
till he has advices from Washington. Notwilh.
standing the reports Of the advance Of a Mexican
force, between San Luis Potosi and SaItllo the
General believes he enter Monterey, and even
Saltlo, without encountering any opposition
The troops now on the road between Camarpo an
Monterey, number near 10000; none were suffer
ed 10 60 but such as were able aud willing 10 stan
the iotlgues Of a long march. This had The eIec
of reducing considerably The volunteer regiments ;
few of them exceeded 500 s,rong-many Of thei ,
numbered even less.
There near 600 sick volunteers in the no.
pitfalls at Camargo, and they were dying very fasi
So many we're sick that it required near Who'll
regiment 10 attend to them.
Gen. Patterson has been left in command Of al.
the country from Camargo to the mouth of the ri
er, and he has been instructed by General Taylt
to issue order prohibiting the entrance of strau
gers into the river and at Camargo. Therefore
any person who has not already an establishe /
business in the country will find it rather difficu ,
to land there-at least, such is the opinion now
A different Interpretation of the order may, howe
er, be given.
Gen. Butler was the man Gen Taylor desrne
leaving in command Of the lower country but ,
Patterson did not reach Camargo as soon as WI
expected, the order of things was changed Ger
p is represented being very much mortified
not being allowed 10 accompany the advance
Ampudia has issued another extraordinary "Prt
clamo," warning the citizens, on pain of death, NOT
to barter with the Americans, aud the AIcalde OF
Camargo had also put forth "Bando." prohibitin
the Mexcans from working on our steamboats,

that the funclonaries might be brought in clos
