The Mother to her First-Born.
BY MRS. II. c coNANr.

Months have fed, my darling baby,
Since thy lovely form | gave,
With calm look, but bnrsting bosom,
TO the cold and lonely grave.
Months have fed, and those around me
Deem the stricken heart is healed;
They little know the depths Of anguish
Hid within the fountain sealed
Day by day, through overy duty,
Thy sweet image still see,
Warm with life, and fresh with beauty,
Gazing fondly still on me:
Still toward thy dotlng mother,
Stretching out those dimpled arms,
And my heart with longing breaketh,
To embrace thy infant charms.
But when lie down, so lonely,
As the night-shades veil the sky.
Bursts, from my 'ercharged bosom,
All its pent-up agony.
Oh, my lost one couldst thou see me,
In that tempest of the heart,
Sure tear of heavenly pity
To thy angel eyes would start!
HTOuBH lnlS cOlu dtlu iOuci( Wiilclt
When the storm beat high and wild,
Every blast seemed filed with wailing,
For it swept thy grave, my child!
Cold has been thy bed, my Johnny,
Hard the pillow Of thy rest
Thou--whom these fond arms enfolded,
Thou whose pillow was my breast.
Tell mo now il matters nothing
What befalls the cherished DUST
Tenfold gloom had wrapt my spirit,
But for that sweet, sacred trust,
That same form Of cherub beauty,
That same look his features wore,
When on earth fondly claimed him,
To behold, in bliss, once more.
Pence, my heart shall behold him,
With that loving, radiant smile,
To my heart shall enfold him,
Raptured, gazing all the while,-
Lovelier than in liie's gay frohcs,
Fairer than in death he shonc,
Fashioned like the glorious angels,
Nobler far, but still my own!

A Marvellous story.

A Washington correspondent Of the New
York Courier, relates the following: ssa
!" learn from an unquestionable source,
that gentleman, reported 70 be of consd-
cradle character and influence in the South
visited Mexico incognito, in the month Of
April last, and after various conferences
with persons in authG.;sy. finally submitted
a formal and well prepared proposition for
the establishment Of Southern eonledera-
cy, into which that Republic was to be
merged. One of the arguments and reas-
ons that were urged upon the persons to
whom this scheme was submitted, as enti-
Ting it to favorable consideration, was, that
the city of Mexico would probably be selec-
ted as the capital of the New Empire, since
part of the plan embraced the extension
Of its territory peaceabIy or forcibIy. further
South. That project was laid before the
Mexican Cabinet by M. Laconza, the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, and was urged by
him in council, in speech of considerable
length. twas resisted by other members
of the Cabinet and finally declined. The
agent of this nefarious scheme left soon af-
ter for California. Mr.. Doyle, the British
Minister, was made aware of these proceed
ings, if he did not lend them countenance !;
but the impression is, that the conspiracy
received decided encouragement from the
British Legation. am restrained by con-
siderations, affecting the personal safety Of
Individuals, from disclosing the reasons
which operated on the Mexican Cabinet, in
rejecting this Infamous overture, and also of
doing justice to those who entitled them
selves to immortal honor Cor scorning and
denouncing the proposition Of the traitors.
The day may not be distant when they can
receive full justice, and with less danger
than at present. President Taylor was not
ignorant Of this design, and with his usual
sagacity and resolution had provided against
injurious consequences"
