SONG.
BY RICHARD HoWITT.
Thou art lovelier than the coming
Of the fairest how'rs of spring,
When the wild bee wanders humming,
Like blessed fairy thing.
Thou art lovelier than the breaking
OF the Orient crimson'd morn,
When the gentlest winds are shaking
The dew-drops from the thorn.
Thou art loyelier than the coming
OF the fairest flow RS of spring,
When the wild bee wanders humming,
Like blessed fairy thing.
| have seen the wild fow'rs springing
In field, in wood, in glen,
Where a thousand birds are singing,
And my thoughts were of thee then;
For there's nothing gladsome round me,
Nothing beautiful to see,
Since thy beauty's spell hath bound me,
But is eloquent of thee.
Thou art lovelier than the coming
OF the fairest fow'rs of spring,
When the wild bee wanders hunmIng,
Like blessed fairy thing.

CLERICAL J0KE.-At a meeting of the
church the pastor gave out the hymn com
mencing with love to steal awhile away,
when the chorister commenced singing, but
owing to some difficulty in recoIlecting the
tune, could proceed no further than l
love TO STEAL which he did three or four
times IN succession, when the clergyman,
IN order to relieve him from the dilemma.
waggishly remarked that it was very
much TO be regretted

Down East some where, a pious old
lady was summoned as witness III an
important case. Having lived in the back
woods all her days, she was wholly unac-
quamted with the rules of a court of JUS
tice. Being told that she must secear,'
the poor woman was filled with horror at
the thought. With much persuasion she
yielded. and being told TO hold up her
right hand she did so, TEL, # / mast,

adjourned.

The NICARAGUA QUESTION The Wahing-
ton correspon ent ofthe Charleston Courier, in
his letter Of the LIST ult says:
The Nicaragua treaty negotiated by Mr..
Squier is now before the Senate. 1t was com
municated on uesday, together with all the
correspondence connected with il. The trea-
ty is liberal and just, not only as between the
contracting parties, but in regard to the rights
and interests Of the whole commercial world.
But, though every privilege is secured to us
by the States OF Central America, the canal
may not be p osocuted Immediately. There
is still some difficulty with the British Goveln.
ment in regard to it; and, although that Gov
eminent nterposes no obstacle to the con-
struction of the work and will unite in guar,
antics Of its neutrality and freedom to all nn'
tons, it is not prepared TO yield the jursdic
tion which it claims over Costa Rica and tn,
Mosquito Kingdom, between which the canal
route lies. There will be troublesome work
Tor diplomatsts. Gen. Ta6ar and Mr.. Clay:
ton unite in the opposition to the demands OF
the British Government on this gubje Sr
Henry Bulw er has, very recently, received hii
instructions touching this matter, and his pro-
positions are deemed inudmaHble.

COL, BENTON's INsTRUC lions TO HIS
FOLLOWERS.


The Union Of yesterday, contains the fol.
lowing Characteristic letter from,;o. Benton
to Que Of his correspondents in Missouri. 1t
explain very clearly the motives of action OF
the Benton p7rly in this city, in cutting ,hem-
selves loose from the anti-Bentun, in the city
election 1t shows that the high wal is to be
raised still higher, and the big ditch dug still
deeper, for the enemies of Col. B nton -
HenceIoFth there is to be no communion be-
tween them;' city and county, State and Fed
eral, Congress and aIl,' there is to be an ever
lasting separation between the two parties;
one or the "ther must give way before the ex~
pertinent of strength and of malice; and
there is room to hope that the Wing party
will profit by it.-&. Louis Rep.
AsHNGToN, Cry March 8, 1850.
Dear Sir: | have had a great many letters
from friends in different parts of the States, in
relation to union with the Calnounites in the
ensuing elections, such letters are very mOrti-
fyieg to me--t6o much 50 to be answered l
was sounded upon this point last summer,
wheI the articles were going through the Cal
houn papers, for general convention of the
party, as it was called, to meet and settle all
differences. | answered instantly and truly,
that would sooner sit in council with the SIX
thousand dead, who had uied of cholera in St
Louis than to go into convention with such a
gang Of scamps; and that is my sent ment to-
day. There is but one principle on which the
Democracy and the CaIhouniles can meet IN
any election, and that is the one which Cal
houn sid held the party together, the cohe>
sive bond of public plunder.' That may be
true Of him and his, but it is not true of me
and mine: and will prove it during these
elections, by standing clear Of all connection
with them Twill not mix with them, nor
give. nor take help. Let them have their own
ticket, and we ours. Let US have clean tick
ct, a clean Democratic tcket--no taint of
Calhounism, Q, secession, disunon, nulli6-
cation, in it. Let them have their own tick ket
and eectit iftfey can; or, defeat usif they can.
The point is to defeat them. The public
good requires it, the harmony and the preserva-
ton Of the Union requires it. Tie Missouri
elections this year, are turning point in
the drama Of dsunioh. The disunonists
count upon Missouri. They believe they
have the State and that belief emboldens thein
in the highest degree; success in one election
wi confirm that belief. The election OF Gall
houn men will confirm it; therefore they must
be defeated and if confined to their own tick
ct, they will be defeated. City and county,
state and Federal, Congress and all, they
should be put to their own ticket, and be made
to cOngregate to emselves; we shall be stron
ger when they are gone; and what is more
we shall be clear--no timd or selfish calcula-
tions about losing elections; we may lose
some few, but still the great point will be
gained Calhounites will be put down, and
even the election Of Wings will be triumph
! over theur--a victory in behalf Of the Union

HUMAJ MONSTER We learn that d
female in the parish Of ST. Timothy,
has just given birth to an extraordinary
child. which in grotesque horror ex-
ceeds all that humanity has produced

is literally a tortoise the back and belly

perfectly resembling tho paw Of the
of the smpaibious animal. ~
Like the tortoise, il can proiude and.
fetract the feet within the she'll, and
articUates sounds which hive not the.
slightest resemblance to tile cry of a
newborn child. We are evenloId that

The New ORLEANS MINT CLOSED We un-
d rstand tnat the Mint was closed in this city
on the 3Ist ultimo. Mr. Macmurdo. the late
Treasurer, sent in his resignation some months
since, to take effect SO soon as his successor
should be appointed, and the Department has
made two or three appointments, but the
smallness Of the salary in comparison to the
duties and responsibility Of the station, and the
enormous amount OF the official bond; have
deferred the parties from accepting. Early last
month; Mr.. Macmurdo sent in his positive re-
sgnation, to take effect on the 3lst March, and
no appointment having been made, the Office
is now vacant, with consequent suspension
Of operations. The office has been rendered
to various parties, who have declined for the
repson stated above, aud the United States
arc ntw without Sub>Treasury in New Or
leans.
The Sub-neasury law obliges the Collector
and other receiving officers to deposit their
funds with the Suh.treasurer, but If no such
Office exists, it will be rather difficult matter
to comply with that provision Of the law, and
al the same time makes it penal offence il he
places tin the control Of the bank.
! How long this state Of affairs may continue
we cannot say, buG the whole thing is very
awkward and will occasion much inconvenl-
encc in various ways--lN. Q. Bulletin.
