lature OF the State Of Texas, being ap-
prZed OF the facts above states, passed
JOINT resolution requesting the said John

but at the next session of the federal

Not word has appeared in the Vienna pa
pers in relation to the Austrian charges last
letter to Mr.. Webster, and Mr.. Webster's
reply. This may seem The more singular. as
the news of the fugitive slave affair in Boston
was announced by telegraph from London in
great characters. A difficulty of their own
representative with foreign power, which
threatened at one time to interrupt friendly
relations would seem TO concern them more
nearly than the liberation of negro. But
it appears the government does not wish to
have the subject called into discussion at
home--it might excite attention. and throw
out light that would be disagreeable.-- -
From the beginning of the difficulty there
has not been word said in the public papers.

DIFFlcuLTlEs OF LIFE.

A thunder cloud looks dark and terrific at
distance, but when it approaches near, it
assumes lighter appearance and passes of,
leaving the heavens calm and delightful.
Thus it is with the difficulties Of life. Seen
at distance they are large and formidable.
1t seems impossible to surmount them. With
faith and courage We press on. with a steady
eye aud strong heart, aud what appeared
like mountains before, have dwincled into
mole hills. Now prosperity attends our steps,
and everything looks bright and inviting be-
fore US.
There are those who are forever looking
for and expecting some lion or other obstacle
In their paths, and when they fail to discover
the INDUSTRIOUS, black, hideous thing, their dis
ordered imaginations are not slow to manu-
facture something terrible Such characters
you will find cropping their way daily to keep
the breath of life in their bodies. Ask them
why they don't 90 ahead, and do something ?
and they will reply, with death groan or
heavy sigh-"Oh dear, wish l could; but
everything is against me-" And then their
cadaverous looks are enough to give common
men the blues, or something worse. How
common such characters.
IL have seen them
Like boding owls, creep Into t6ds ofi*y,
An hoot their fears to one another nightly
A word to the fearful and trembling. Do
you know that while you are broodiug over
the imaginary evils of life, the springs of your
existence are rapidly drying up? In few
years more-perhaps days--you will waste
the vital energies Of your life, and sink into
the grave decrepit and worn out, when you
are but in the meridian Of life. 1t is true, as
Thomson says:--
abesponding fear, Of feeble fancies full,
Weak and unmanly, loosens every power.'
Have faith and courage. Look above and
beyond the gloomy circle in which you move,
and instead OF lurking in mouldy CHURCH yards
among rotten bones and broken skulls, bic
away to the bright and beautiful in nature
You will be men again. There is hope even
for YOU Take fresh start the delightful
morning and shake yourselves thoroughly
from the sluggish weights of dependency and
sorrow, --declaring with the poet,
''Niy heart is firm;
There's nought within the compass of humanity
But would dare to do"
Courage then, couragcl Rise with the
determination never to sink again, nor sit
desparingly beneath the harrow Of despon-
dency. With this resolution your work is
half accomplished. Success will follow in
your track. t.a,ss
