Texas Meetings.

Texas Meetings. The people of the lone-star State have become fully aroused. aad see determined to assert their rights In primary assemblages. Among the many accounts of proceedings at various points, we find in the Henderson Whig, the following resolutions which, in spirit, characteristic of all. The ci. gems of that county met on the 27th of July, and adopted fierce preamble and the following resoIu. tions
 Be t resoloed, That we fully concur in the course of his Exceilency the Governor in converting the legislature; and we trust that proper steps will be taken to vndicate the honor and defend the soil of Texas.
 Resoiped That rather than be shorn of our rights had the power, we would rip up the past. assume our old form of government, and restore Texas to dow n.tEodden aud degraded Mexico
 Resoieed, That neither Congress, prncipalities powers, things present to come, have a right to dsmember Texas; and that neither the wealth of Cresus or the gold of 0phir, could compensate us for such enormous wrong and spoliation, in these times of free-soil encroachment. Rssofred, fha, for the sake of peace, we are will ling to adopt the recommendations of the Nashville Convention.
 Reseiped, That Cot. Munroe and the reyoi,ine citizens of Santa Fe have forgotten the character Q! Texans; and that by the advice of the Governor and the consent of the Legislature, an army of 5 900 Texans can attach disgrace upon: :hem, more deep, degrading, and abiding. than now fingers around the name of Benedict Arnold.
 Resolved, That our Representatives, Emory, Lloyd. and Holland, be instructed and our Senator Hon David Gage be Teqnested 10 support any bill asserting our rights to Santa Fe providing men and means Tor it's organization and defence, against tke unholy and unjust interference of the Federal Exc , cutiVe.
 Resolved, That our title to all the territory west Of the Nueces, and tst of the Rio Grande is clear aud unquestionabe; and that nothing but annihila- ton ard osiracism as State will make us relin- qush it.
 We cannot tell what effect the ten million bill! which has jus. passed will have upon the patriot ism of this Sate but we are inclined to believe that the support given to it by Senators, Messrs Hous- TON and RUsK, and the rich bonus offered will be a quetus for the present This will pay off the pub lie debt of Texas, and with her splendid domain she will rank with the most fiourisbing States of the Union.

WHAT CAN DE DONE on ONE ACRE OF
GRoUNp.-The editor of the Maine
Culuvator published, iew days ago
his management of one acre of ground,
from which we gather the following
results: One-third Of an acre in corn
usually produce thirty bushels of sound
corn for grinding, besides some refuse.
This quantity was sufficient Tor fami-
Iy use, and for lattenlng two small
hogs. From the same ground he OBJ
taincd two or three hundred pumpkins,
and his family supply Of beans. From
a bed Of six rods square, he usually
obtained sixty bushels of onions these
he had sold at one dollar per bushel,
and the amount purchased his flour
Thus, from one-thlrd of an acre aud
an onion bed, he obtained his bread
stuffs. The rest of the ground was ap-
propriated to all sorts of vegetables, for
SUMMER and winter use; potatoes, beets,
parsnips, cabbage, green corn, peas,
beans, cucumbers, melons, squashes,
SC; with fifty or sixty bushels of beets
and carrots for the food of COW
Then he had also flower garden,
rasber.ies, curran,s, and gooscberrles
in grea, variety and few choice APP
pie, pear, plum, cherry, peach and
ounce trees. If family can be sup
ported from one acre OF ground IN
Name, the same can be done IN every
State and county in the Union.

DIGNITY OF LOVE.
From The Italian of Silrio PeRico.

'N'' wv N'"'"' ~ ''''s'N N"''N'
The following advice, though addressed
to one young gentleman in particular, may
general.
Honor woman, but dread the seduction
Of her beauty and, above all, dread the Sc
duction of your own heart
Happy will it be for you, if you never fix
your affections on any other woman than
her whom you can and would wish to select
as your partner fer life.
Rather keep your heart altogether Olsen.
gagged from love, than consent to surrender
it to one who has few titles to esteem a
man of less elevated mind might be happy
with her-you never coull. You require
either to be quite free, or to have for a com
panion one who will sympathizc with the
generous ideas you have formed of human
nature, and particularly of the softer sex.
Your companion should be one of those
rare women, capable of nobly appreciaiing
whatever is beautiful in religion and love-
But, beware that your fancy does not invest
her With the qualities you desire, while she
may be altogether different person.
If you find woman with a soul glowing
with the love of God, capable of lofty en-
thnsiasm for virtue, intent upon doing good,
and an irreconcilable enemy to every act of
moral baseness if 10 such merits, she
unites a cultivated mind, without ambition
for display and with such endowments she
is Tore humble than others; if al her words
and acts dis play virtue, nobcness and grace
if she shows a strong wish To discharge all
her duties, attention to the feelings OF 9th
ers, particularly of those in atllcllon If all
her charms are used to elev te and ennoble
the minds OF all within her innuence-upon
such woman you may bestow you: who'll
affections, and love her with a love worthy
of her.
Let her be to you an angel guardian,
personifcation of divine providence IN your
regard to turn aside your mind from every
thing low and sordld, and to animate you
in the accomplishment of great aud virtuous
actions. In all your undertakings, think of
her appreciation think of acting in such a
manner, that her noble mind may rejoice in
having you for friend. BE studious to
honor her, no, before men, which is of little
moment, but before the all-seelng eye Of
God.
In greatly loving being 50 truly noble,
so devoted to religion and to virtue, your
love viii not be excessive. You will love
her, because her wishes will be in perfect
accordance with the will of God In loving
one you will be loving the other or, rath-
er. you will love God in her; so that were
it possible that her desires should be op-
/ posed to the will of God, the bright en-
( clan.ment would be dissolved, and you
would no longer esteem her
Vulgar minds, incapable of estimating 4
/ truly nobe woman, consider such love as
| here described, chimeIcal pity their low
minded wisdom a love so pure and so
strongly melting to virtue is possible, and
exists, but it is rare men, however, should
say, give me such love or none.

A jolly LIFE. Insects generally
must lead truly jovlal life. Think
what it must be to lodge in lily
Imagine palace of ivory and pearl,
with pillar. of silver and capitals of
gold all exhaling such perfume as
never arose from human censer.-
Fancy again, the fun Of tucklng your
selves up for the nigh, in the folds of
a rose, rocked to sleep by the gentle
signs of the summer air, nothing to do
when you awake but to wash yourself
in a dew drop, and fall to and eat your
bed.clo,hes

Augsburg editor, excitcs some attcn-

Byron's poem. Byron is known to

The dead the dead do they love us STILL
In the regions where they roam,
And oh, are their spangled wings e'er bent
Over us, in their former home
DO they feel for US as once they felt,
When the earth Was their abode
Or are they now too pure to know
Aught save the love of God
Can they see our deeds from the spirit land.
And bless all the pure in heart
And does the birth of a sinful thought
To them deep grief impar,
Oh, say do the loved of earth yet live
In far-oh sunny cline,
And shall We meet in their fond embrace,
Beyond the wreck OF time !
Oh, yes, know that they love US still,
And feel as they felt on EARTH
Save the loss of a tempting spirit Of i'll,
Which lessened the angels worth.
But they know the storms that darken ife,-
They have felt the woes we feel,
And they pray for strength to nerve our hearts
And power to live with zeal.
They have loved Us once and would greet us wher
The clouds grow thick at even,
And folding us meath their snowy wings,
Thrice welcome u- home to heaven.
They are with us still in our hallowcd dreams
In the quiet hours Of night,
And they bend above the trembling soul,
With spirits pure delight.
They cheer us on in the path of life
With Hopes cxtatic thrill
Then let us have pure faith in God,
For the dcad.-thcy love us still
