Treatment Of Mexico and Texas by the
Federal Government,
BY JUDGE JAY.
[ Co n c La de d.

The conduct of the Federal Government
towards Texas and Hayti, places in strong
light the influence of slavery on our national
councils, The latter State has been indepen-
dent both in name and in fact for thirtyseven
years, yet we still refuse to recognise her
Twelve months after Texas declared her indepen-
dence, she was received by us into the family
of nations, and honored by an interchange Of
diplomatic agents. For thirty-6ve years, the
soil of Hayti has not been trodden by an invader

The Life of a Man.

A wanderer in the desert was once pursued
by hideous monster, having single horn, strong
and sharp, like the tusk of an elephant, project
ing from the centre of his forehead. By dnt of
speed, which fear and terror had almost made
supernatural, the fugitive had hitherto succeeded
in outstrpping the dreaded beast, who was seek
ing to devour him. On he sped every now and
then casting a terrified glance behind him, to see
if his hideous adversary was still following in his
track. He saw the object of his dread at the
same distance from him as before. All his ef
forts 10 gain upon him had been frutless. The
samiri of the desert opposed its fiery breath in
vain The hunted traveller needed it not for
death stared him in the face.
His strength now began to fail him. 1t was
clear that he could but for little time longer
escape the dire fate which hung over his devoted
head for the monster was gaining fas: upon
him. His jaws were already opened wide to
tear his victim to pieces; his eyes glared like
two furnaces with exutation when the traveller
came suddenly upon ditch, into which he drop
ped, more dead than alive,
Now on one side of this ditch grew a stately
tree The Infatuated beast no sooner saw the
wretched fugitive crouching in this ditch, than,
with loud and dreadful roar, he plunged in af-
ter him. But the traveller had esped this tree,
aud when he saw the monster taking the leap,
with the strength of desperation, he scrambled
up in it until he was fairly out of the reach Of
his assailant.
His heart was filled with rejoicing and graft,
tude to God for his miraculous deIverance; for

Pleasures Of Winter.
DELPIIY

1t is a true and admirable saying that, Everything
is beautiful in its season. For each season brings
pleasures and beauties peculiar to itself. TO many
Winter appears dull and cherries. But, if we look
abroad through creation, we will see charms even at
this season worthy of Him who bestows them. How
delightful in the morning to behold the sun arise DER
a beautiful landscape covered with snow. 1t is pros
pect both rich and gorgeous. Winter now has assim-
Hated all objects into the ovees emblem of purity.
For the snow has clad everything in the bright and
becoming apparel, which gives the most simple and
striking ideas of beauty and the highest and most
tona claims to pleasures and enjoyment Forwe hear
our youth joyfuly exclaim--
THE snow upon the ground is spread,
And seems soft and downy bed;
hear the merry sleigh-bells ring,
And, though love the breath of Spring.
would not wish for Winter Ger,
Though fruits and flowers are seen no more"
When we see the snow flakes falling we hear the
merry school-boys shout. But there other pleas
ures at this season, than that of sghtthan that Of
hearing. There are the pleasures, also, of taste
pleasures of assocation-pleasures of select reading
and pleasures of DEVOTION which may all be properly
and proftably cultivated and enjoyed especially or
these long winter evenings. These too, are blessings
conferred by the hand of Heaven to make happy and
render our life pleasant. To God, therefore, the boun
teous gver of every precious gift, we should render
blessing and praise

LOVE full well my native land

Among the hills and mountains grand
Nor ever wish to roam.
l love her fields all decked in green,
Or clothed in winters snow;
love her sunsets radiant scene,
And moonlight's balmy glow.
love her mountains, hills and Wales,
Her forests, fruits and flowers;
| love the song of birds which halls
The Springs returning hours,
love her independent sons,
Her daughters true and fair
For Freedom in their life-blood runs,
Nor can you chain it there.

The Mountains Green my home,
Where tyrants cannot raise the hand,
And slaves can never come!

President CASTILLO, of Peru, in which the condi-
ton of the Republic is represented to be not very
flourishing. Although it preserves amicable rela-
tons with distant Governments, the nation TO
be on the eve of war with Bolivia. Senior Castillo
thinks, however, that the difficulties between the
two countries may be adjusted by the impending
Congress of American Republics. The financial
affairs seem to be desperate, the ordinary expenses
far exceeding the income. Notwithstanding these
disadvantages, "publc education has received every
aid compatible with the deficiency of resources and
the conviction of its advantages and benefits" The
number of scholars attending the public schools is
stated to be 29,942.

Our readers are aware that Mr.. IRVING, the Wing
candidate in the fourth Congressional district OF
Virginia. at the last election, contested the right of
his Democratic competitor, Mr. BocooK, TO seat
in the next House OF Representatives. The scru-
tiny of the polls in the several counties has been
prosecuted with great diligence by both parties and
at a considerable expense of time, money, and per-
sonal convenience. Mr.. IRVING was induced to
contest his return solely from the belief that Mr..
Bocock had not received majority of the lawful
votes of the district Having become satisfied,
upon closer scrutiny, that Mr. Bocock had such a
majority, though small, he has Immediately with
drawn from contest into which sense of duty TO
his political friends had involved him in opposition
to his personal wishes.
The New Orleans papers concede the reelection
to Congress of ISAAC Z. MORSE, from the fourth
district. The returns are not all in, but his ma
jorty is estimated at about 800 votes. The Dele
CATION from the State, therefore, will be one Wing
and three Democrats, as in the last Congress.
