began TO feel curious that our stars did
not send US some stream of good luck
And even now we cannot calculate the
extent to which those feelings might have
carried US, had not a gentleman Just then

Female Nobility.

A writer in Chambers London Jour.

nobility:
"Thc woman, p,or AMI i'll clad as she
may be, who balances her expenditure,
who tolls and sweats in unrepentin2
moo.l, among her we'll trained children
and presents them morning an evening
as offerings Of love in rosy health and
cheerful leanliness-is the most cxal.
tel Of her sex. Before her shall the
prou lest dame bow her jeweled heal
an the bliss of a happy heart shall
dwell with her forever. If there is one
prospect dearer than another 10 ben
the proul and inspire the broken hear.
teI-it is for smiling wife to NEE, her
husband at the door with his host OF
happy children. How it stirs up the
bloc Of an exhausted man when he
hears the rush of many feet upon the
stair casc-when the crow and carol oi
their young voices mix in glad confusion
and the smallest mounts or sinks into
his arms with mirihul shout"

which it has reached. Some four or five
OF the workmen have been rescued, aw.

MEXICO.

FOilllcal systems, however cunnlngly
devised, cannot save a State, unless il
is animate by Intelligence alI pat.
riolism. The great aim of all the public
men OF Mexico, seems to be to get mon.
cy honestly if they can, but to get i, at
all hazZarIs; contingent results are not
to be taken into consideration. States.
men churchmen an! military leaders are
continually employed in amassins
wealth, ANA their example is followed,
down to the very lowest custom house at.
'ache, and other petty employees of the
government. The files of the Times, dur.
ing the month Of April, will show that
we characterised the late revolutionary
movement in Mexico, as of foreign ori gin
Tor foreign purposes, and late intelli.
gence from Europe seems TO confirm: this
view.
The movements Of the army, and the
conciliating department of its generals
towards the people, indicated desire TO
operate peacefully, and in such man.
ner as not to alarm foreign oyernments,
especially the United States, which but
so recently had been discussing the Mon.
roe doctrine.
The intelligence brought by the At.
lan'lc, points to an alliance of Mexico
and Spain, for a return of tie former to
seml'colonial conli,ionant dependence.
The Diario Espanol a newspaper pub.
llshed at Madrid, states that SANTA AN.
Ma, the present dictator Of Mexico, has
already made overlurcs to Spain for help
IN view OF several imaginary future con.
tlnscncies, among which is an Eruption
o! lillIbus'ers from the United States
This is but approaching closely the point
TO which the previous words and acts of
the Mexican and Cuban authorities
looked during the past winter. GThe
course Of Spain and France, will proba.
bly, be shaped by the policy adop,el by
the United States. when fully advised of
the current Of this new streak of diplo
macy; AMI there appears to be bu, little
doubt that the administration Of Ge !.
PiERch will promptly oppose boll
front to all such scenes.
SANTA ANNA, never very friendly with
the church, would gladly avail himself
oil Its boarded treasures, to replenish his
exhausted exchcqucr, but the pro lgious
hold Of the Hierarchy upon The i,;nor.
ancc and superstition Of the the people,
and their disposition to ava! themselves
of it, for their own defence; will deter

kindness for the old. They are we'll en-.
titled to your sympathy. Through this
bright world they move mistily, and
if they rise as soon as the birls begin
10 sing, they cannot hear the music
Their limbs are stiff, their senses dull,
and that boIy which was once their
beautiful ahole AMI their willing ser.
want, has become cage and heavy
clog. And they have outiyed most OF
those dear companions with whom they
once took sweet counsel.
''One world deceased, another born,
Like Noah they behold,
Ger whose white hair and furrow'd brows
Too many suns have rolled.''
Make it up then as well as you can.
BE eyes TO the blin AMI feet to the lame
On their way 10 the sanctuary be their
supporting staff, and though they need an
extra effort to convey your words into
their blunlei ear, make that effort; for
youth is never so beautiful as when Il
acts as a guardian TO old age. And
should extreme inlirmity or occasion /
lreliulness try your patience. remember
that to all intents you were the same,
AMI may be the same again; in second
