TIE TEUNpEaEa's THREAT,

The London Times, in leader on the
Cuban question, uses the following language
|: is not calculated to .qncnch the spirit OF
filibnsterism now abroad in this country:
"Powertul as the American people un.
questionably are in the defence of all that
belongs to themselves, no nation has; in these
days, the strength or the means to run riot
in the world, and gratiIy its own lusts and
caprices at the expense Of others. This rash
and dangerous course will, it adopted, bring
them into collision with other States besides
Spain, and they would enter into such a
contest degraded in the eyes Of the world by
the popular violence and injustice which
have dictated these aggressions. The con-
quest OF Cuba will not easily be effected by
Il mere band of frccbootcrs, if indeed another
Lopez expedition were allowed to quit the
shores of the United States: But we fear
the American government will be gradually
led on to do, as it did in the case OF Texas,
what every man Of honesty condemns Let
them not suppose, however, that such meas
ures are to be taken with impunity because
Spain is not the power she once was. Spain
has still the means of destroying the trade of
the United States with the Mediterranean,
and OF in!lcting tremendous losses upon it
by means OF letters Of marque all over the
world Except Cuba aud Porto Rico, she
has now no western colonies, and no import.

MY MOTHER IN HEAVEN.


MOTHER! 0 how many thrilling emotions
does that precious word strike on the chords
of Il feeling heart! How sad, how bitter
the thought, that the rcmorscless hand Of
fate can with one fell stroke sever the dear
est ties which hind tho human heart.to its
fellow mortal, unhcedful and unnindful that
its tirclcss wing trails in the dust the ruined
shrine of many fond and cherished hope
of happiness; that its relentless track is
marked by the bitter wai!inss aud heart
crushing dampncss of human woe!
But let me not repine; for He who admin
istcred the bitter cup, has merciIuiy ming led
sweetness with lis gall; and when my saint.
ed mother was removed from her earthly
home to the bright mansions Of eternal rest,
oh! how precious, how consolng TO the
hearts of those who monrncd her flight, was
the assurance that her pure, meek spirit WAS
min.ling with the holy throng that graced
the everlasting fields Of the better land; that
the glad music Of angels had welcomed
home forever the care.worn spirit of Il sor-
rowing child of carIi-for none who knew
thee, blessed spirit, can doubt that thou art
with thy God
1t has not been long, mother
Z" Near three short years have fled,
Since thou vast numbered with the dead :"
vet thy loved image is blooming freshly in
the +" garden of my heart" still bright and
fair rs when the angel Of death first chilled
its dropping stem in the autumn of life; and
there NAV it bloom, cherished flower, around
which the hearts best memory will cling
till life's last hroe shall cease. No, my mo.

since looked for the last time OH thy calm
sad face, cold and pale in the embrace o
death; hut, mother. twas cnnugh-tha

be bright when all other visions fade. Rea

ever been called on to gaze for the last time
on one so loved in life, so sorrowed in deaths
Then say, can gall of death be more bitter
Oh! none save those who have crossed the
dark stream can tell the agony of soul to
gaze on dying mother; to see the struggles
of that loved form, yielding to the k"g o.
Terrors, aud know that no earthly hand may
snatch the helpless victim from his grasp
to catch the last faint whisper, or look of tht
closing eye, ere it be sealed in the dmnes'
of death-the first calm hush that tells US We
are in the presence of the dead, that the spi

WASHINGTON, March 18th. 1852.

JonN TAYLOR: am glad to hear from
you again, and to learn that you are well,
and that your teams, and tools arc ready for
springs work, whenever the weather will
allow you to begin. sometimes read books
on farming; aud remember that very
sensible old author advises farmers "to plow
naked and SOW naked" BY this he means
that there is no use in beginning spring S
work till the weather is warm, that a farmer
may throw of his winter clothes and roll up
his sleeves. Yet he says we ought to begin
rs early in the year as po ssiblc. He wrote
some very pretty verses on this subject,
which, as far as remember, run thus:
Willie yctthe spring is young while earth unJinas
The frozen bosoni to the western wins
While mountain SHOWS dissolve beneath the sun,
And streams yet new, from prccipices ruIl-
Fen in this early dawnng of the year,
Produce the plow, and yoke the sturdy steer;
And goad him till he smoke beneath his toll,
And the bright share is buried in the soil"
John Taylor, when you read these lines
do you not SEQ the snow melting, and the
little streams beginning to run down the
slopes Of your Punchbrook pasture, aud the
new grass starting and growing in the trick
ling water, all green, bright, and beautiful
And do you not see your Durham oxen smo
king from heat and perspiration, as they
draw along your great breaking up plow
cutting and turning over the tough sward ir
your meadow in the great field? The name
Of this sensible author is Virgil; and he give:
farmers much other advice, some of whicl
YOU have been following all this winter with
out even knowing that he had given it:
But when cold weather, heavy snow and rain,
The laboring farmer in tho house restrain,
Let him forecast his work, with timely care,
Which else IL huddlcd when the skies are fair;
Then let him mark the sheep, and whct the shining
share,
Or hollow trees for boats, and number o'cr
Ills sacks, or measure his increasing store;
Or sharpen stakcs and mend each rake and fork
So to be ready in good time to work
Visit his crowded barns ut early morn,
Look to his granary and shell his corn;
Give good breakfast to his numerous kline,
| Ills shivcring poultry and his iattcning swine'

What's hard to Luy. Though rich ones try,
Will, I'LL their heaps Of gold!
Then laugh away-lrt others say
Wl,atc'cr they will Of nirtll,
Who laughs the most may truly boast

There's beauty in merry laugh,

That's PAID each man his due,
And lent u share Of what's to spare

And made the cheek less sorrow speak,
