Oh! let me liyc mid flowers,
Those sweet and lovely things;
That o'er this vale of sorrows,
Such brightning radiance filings
Bright stars in Beauty's coronot,
Their language all of love:
Oh! is there not sweet fowcrs,

Oh ! let mo die mid flowers,
In evenings calm decline,
And let the flowrct's fragrance
The evenings breeze rc6nc;
Let vespcr; signing zrphers,
Blow o'cr ME Flora's bloom:
Then death amid the flowers,
Is robbed Of ull its gloom.
Oh let me sleep MD flowers,
My long and lasting sleep;
And let their blooming petals,
My tomb at evening sweep.
And let my silent pillow,
OF roses bright be made;
Sweet violets and for-get-me-nots,
Upon my bosom laid
Oh! Let me live mid flowers,
In my eternal home
And o'cr their wales and meadows,
Through all their beauties roam.
And when l touch my harp strings,

I'll sing of him who made me,
And blessed me with those flower.

Give Your Bows a Trade.

Franklin says, che who has Il trade has
an estate" and never was more useful
maxim uttered by that man. Many were
the rules of conduct laid down by him, and
prac,isrd too, through his life, which if fol-
lowed by men in al! times and ages, would
greatly improve the condition and circum-
stances Of the multitude. The above say
ing is easily understood by all, and applica-
BIZ to all professions or pursuits. A great
day will it be for our country when youth
shall be induced or compelled 10 adopt some
calling, mercantile or what is really me-
chanical. And greater day will it be
when more Of them shall choose the latter
10 become respectable mechanics rather
than second rate lawyers, or doctors, or d.
vines.
The above remarks were suggested by
little anecd"te we heard lately. A young
man born heir to large estate. was at the
age of Is, regularly appren,iced to a respect
able and scientific mechanic, for the pur-
pose Of learning what is sneeringly called
a trade. There was no necessity for such
a step, but the father chose so to dispose
his sou, often repeating to him, Che who
has trade has an estate" The young
man became master, and had the supreme
happiness land earth can afford none more
perlect) supporting an aged father by his
skill and industry for the great fortune to
which he had been born heir was bv mis-
fortune all lost. Moreover, while perform
ing this sacred duty, his talents, industry,
and integrity, finally won for him both fame
and fortune

TLED.-The Democratic Advocate, of Ba-
ton Rouge, (,he place Of Gen. Taylor's re-
sidence,) which may be supposed of course
wellacquainted with Gen. Tayor's opinions
gives the following account fthem:
"Our contemporaries are disputing about
Gen. Taylor's politics. There need be no
difficulty on this point Gen. Taylor gave
his last vote for Gen. Jackson-he would
have voted for Henry Clay, at the late cleo
ton, because he personally esteemed aud ad-
mired him as statesman, and because
he was opposed TO the annexation of Texas,
on constitutional grounds. Gen. Taylor
says he belongs to no party, but is called
whig. Gen. IT,, thought the war with Mex
leo could and ought to have been avoided,
We are satisfied 1t is annoying to the old
General TO hear of his nomination for the
Presidency. But, Of one thing we can as
sure our democratic friends, that Gen. T. is
no democrat and we will say further-we
believe he would never ask question in ap.
pointing men to Office, as to their politics,
but his measures would not harmonize we'll
with the late and present democratic admin

THE SOLDIERS STORY.
Twas in the trench at Vera Cruz,
A group of soldiers lay,
Weary and worn with working
AT the guns the live long day,
Their faces were begrimed with sand
And SCOT from sho, and she'll
Exploding in the crumbling earth,
For fast the missiles fell.
Yet cheerly they chattcd,
For their hearts with hope beat high,
And they new the hour of victory
Was surely drawing nigh,-
There came war-worn soldier,

They badc him welcome 10 their cheer
And gave him of the best.
He'd served with General Taylor
And they asked him Of the man
Who first and last had led the way
To victory in the van;

"On! column! steady! s,eady'l
So hardy and so prompt was hc
We called him Rough and Ready.
"He road upon an old white horse,
And wore brown sur,out--
But oltener, when the ground was deep,
He trudged with US on foot.
The man from whose cantcen he drank,
Was envied and thought lucky;
He had the brave and kind good heart
That honored old Kentucky.
"By wounds outworn, left the field,
But when il new campaign
Against another foe commenced

TWAS fun alive, boys, once again
To hear the sabre's cIank,
To see old Rough and Ready ride

"At Palo Alto, comrades, there
He gave us work 10 do,
And DER La PaIma's uIphury smoke

When from his fire his aid-de camp
Would have the chief retire,

"You should have seen the brave old boy

When the cannon swept the plaza,
How he sternIy stood at bay.

And fire his element

There are now among the heathen about 9,
600 missionaries; and these occupy nearly

YOUNG MEN.-The most anxious mo-
ment in the history of a young man, is that
moment when he forsakes the parental roof,
and goes forth into the wide world TO seek
a livelihood. The interests of life are
crowded into that period. The tears of
mother, the councils Of father, consecrate
that eventful moment.-Away from old as
sociates, how apt the former restraints
are to be cast off! The test of principle is
now applied. If he holds fast his integrity:
the prayers of his father and mother, rising
of when the still dews are falling, will bring
blessings thick as the mamma that fell round
the camp Of the elect nation, down upon his
path But if he prove fathless, then will
memory embitter his life, then will his pa
rents welcome the grave, that they may
hide their dishonour in the dust.
