The National Latelligencer publishes the
subjoined correspondence, being part Of that
recently transmitted to the House of Represen-
tatives, calling attention to the fact that the
British disclaimer contained In it, applies to all
other States as we'll as those Of Central Amer
lea. When President TAYLOR received intel
ligence of the existence of the treaty recently
negotiated with Costa Rica by Mr.. CHATFIELD,
the British Charge d'Afiaires in Guatemala, he
caused inquiries to be made by the Secretary of
State, which led to this correspondence.

ma]esty's government have entirely approved of
the language which held to you with reference TO
your inquiry as to whether il was true that Mr..

ing that republic under British protection, and of
the assurance then gave you that did not believe,
from the opinions which had heard her majesty 3
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs express that
he could have authorized Mr.. Chatfeld to make
any treaty placing the Republic of Costa RIGA I'M
der the protection Of her majesty. have been fur
Their instructed TO state to you that the British gov
eminent has not made, and has no intention OF
making, any treaty or arrangement with Costa
RIGA for taking that State under British protec-
ton.
l am also desired to add, that il would be contra
ny to the fixed and settled policy Of Great Britain
to ontangle herself by any engagement to protect
distant States over whose policy and conduct it
would be impossible for the British Government to
exercise any effective control. Such protectorate
would confer no possible advantage on Great Bri-
tain and might become the source of many embar-
easements to her.

ECONOMY is DUE OUR EMPLOYERS

"Waste not; want no" is good old proverb.
Gle that is faithful in little is faithful also in
much" person Who takes no care OF the ma
terials committed to his hands by his employer,
will never duly husband his property. Economy
and wasefulness are habits that will influence us
in all things, both when we are engaged about
our own substance or that of another. 70 waste
another's goods is the same as TO rob him. The
loss IN both cases is equal, and the principles
whence they spring very much the same The
man who takes care of his employers goods is
sure to look after his own, and thus is on the
road to prosperity. 1t would be difficult to cal
culate the immense loss of property that every
year occurs from carelessness and want of econ
omy. Some persons are worth nearly half their
wages more than others, because they never in
jure or waste anything. The employer being
wealthy or stock abundant is 70 excuse for care
lessness. A loss is loss, and robbery is a
robbery, whether taken from the heap of the
mlser, or the smaller store of the INDECENT.
"Gather up the fragments, that nothing may be
lost" is divine command. Heaven allows no.
thing to be destroyed. There has not been a
single drop of water wasted from the creation
until now The decomposed elements of last
autumn, are the aliment of our present spring
Economy, rigid economy, is one of the laws Of
| nature and we shall not realize 3the good time
| coming'' until we have careful and economical
world. Let this spirit prevail, and not only
will the master be saved from loss, but in many
Instances, the servant will rescue himself from
the union.

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT However dark and
disconsolate the path of life may seem to any
man. there is an hour of deep and undisurbed
repose at hand, when the body may sink into IA
dreamless snmber. Let not the imagination be
started, if this resting place, instead of being
bed OF down shall be bed of gravel, or the
rocky bed of the tomb. No matter where the
poor remains of a man may be, the repose is
deep and undisturbed, the sorrowful bosom
heaves no more, the tears are dried up in foun-
tain, the aching heart is at rest, and the stormy
waves of earthly tribulaton roll unheetled over
the place ofgraves. Let armies engage in fear
fn conflict over the very bosom of the dead, not
one OF the sleepers heed the spirit of the stirring
triumPh,or respond to the rending shouts OF vc,o-
ry. How quiet these countless millions sleep
in the arms Of their mother earth! The voice
of thunder shall not awake thenl-the loud cry
OF the elements, the winds, the waves, nor eyeI,
the giant tread of the earthquake, shall be able
to cause an inquielude in the chamber of death.
They shall rest and pass away-the last great
battle shall be fought; and then small voice at
FIRST heard, shall rise to tempest, and penetrate
the voiceess grave. For a trumpet Shall sound
and the dead shall hear its voice.
