PICTUREs.AA rodm with pictures in it, aud
room Without pictures, differ by nearly as
much as a room without windows. Nothing,
we think, is more melancholy particularly to a
person who has to pass much time in his room,
than blank walls With nothing on them; for
pictures are loopholes of escape to the soul,
leading sittoother Spheres 1t is such an inex-
pressible relief TO the. person engaged in wri,
ting, or even reading, on LICKING up, MOTTO have
his line of vision chopped, square otfibY aa odi-
GUS white wall, but to End his soul escaping, as
it were, through the frame Of an exquisite pic
ture, to other beautiful, and, perhaps oIdyllic
scenes, where the. fancy for a moment may
revel, refreshed and delighted Is it winter in
your world perhaps it is summer in the pic
ture; what a charming momeptary, changeEnd
contrast! And thus pictures are copsolers Of
loneliness; they are a sweet fattery to the
soul; they are relief to the jaded mind !; they
are windows to the imprisoned thought; they
are books; they are histories and sermons
which we can read without the trouble Of turn

Angelic. Gayly sporting near the feet
OF these were two most lovely cherubims,
Bright innocence beamed from their eyes in
sweet,
Unearthly glances. Much to me they seemed
Angelic beings; and doubted long
If my commission r, ally did include
Creatures SO god-like, earthly beings among.
Awhile | unused, and then resolved would
For many centuries be satisfied
To smte all other living creatures. and
Permit these god-like beings to live. Then wide
Around the world rOved in every land
| sought to find such other beings, but none
Fer met my sight / sighed to view once
more
That lovely scene that Of all others won
Upon my thoughts. I left the distant shores
Where had wandered and returned again,
Aud sought that lovely bower. Great was
the change.
Those blooming cherubms-So lovely then,
Were now to manhood grown; and still more
strange
Contending in the field Wild passions, fierce,
Swept Ger the countenance of one. He
seized
His younger brother and his body perced,o
And hurled him bleeding at my feet His
| wound
touched, and thus his mortal pangs were
| eased,
His spirit, from this world of wo released,
Dwelt 10 a fairer cline; but from the ground
His blood still cried for vengeance, and from
thence
swore eternal enmity to man, ,-.,
And an undying hatred. Never since
Have that VOW forgot. Into my hand
Was the first victim by his brother given.
Yet | torbore, to wait the time resolved
That they were multiplied on earth, as IIeayer
| Commanded me. -Four hundred years revolyet
Their cycles, and yet forbore, until
Into my power was delivered Ger,
BY brutal murder, one more victim still,
By Lamech, son of him who first did kill
His brother: then vowed, thenceforth, nc
more
To spare or stay my. hand. But went forth,
Mounted on my pale steed, Disease, an'
rode
With lightning speed around The tremblin!

And with my sweeping scythe l reckes

All ranks without distinction infants sweet ,
That smiled in inhocence-and patriarchs
Who, the recurring centuries repeat 3"
Their cycles vast, had often seen--but bark
The blood of Abel, crying from the ground,
Chides my delay-the gore ofthat fair yout

Good News from Mexico.

Au important change is noted in Mexican
allalrs The Administration of President Com
ontort, which had began to manifest signs of
weakness, and about to share the fate of its pre-
decessors, has received a new lease of life
Inc reactIonlsts, in rebellion at Puebla, under
the. special encouragement of the Romish
Frlests, have again been overcome, Puebla,
Tor the second time has surrendered to the Fed.
eral troops, which would seem TO have been
commanded on this occasion by General Com
onlort IN person, and, though we are as yet
without particulars, it is reasonable TO conclude
that the country will now be permitted to en-
Joy ahother brief breathing especially,
IN connection with another important fact
which reaches US by an arrival at this port from
vera Cruz, that the long threatening difficulty
with England has at length been amicably ad-
JuSted by generous concessions on the part of
the Mexican government Vidaurri, too, the
dashlng bucaneer Of the Rio Grande country,
has made peace with the Central Government
Alvarez, Comonfort's predecessor, arms also
IN It's defence-and all things would seem thus
simultaneously to combine to give assurance
that the Generals prospects ahead, notwith-
standing the prophecies of his enemies, are of
the most hopeful and encouraging character.
We rejoice at and over this intelligence, for
we are now more than ever persuaded that if
ever Mexico is TO attain respectable position
IN the American family, it must be under the
liberal and patriotic policy of just such men as
General Comonfort. With Rome, andthe gold
of her priests in the scale against him, during
the brief period he has been in power, he has
not only reduced to obedience that ha6gh'y,
and, until now, imperium in imperiO, but ruu
ed the miscellaneous brood of military censpi-
rators, whose misdirected ambition had periods
cally led them TO espouse the cause of what may
be truthtully termed to Roman Hierarchy,
against the Mexican people. The seculariza-
ton Of the ecclesiastical revenues, was lnea-
sure that met the cordial approval of the peo7
pie, and ofall, indeed, who had an intelligent
and patriotic appreciation of the requirements
of the times. The priests, as was to be expec-
ted, rebelled at once, and have been rebelling
ever since-ln the effort to overflow Comon-
fort, and put somebody else in his place, pledged
: to take the back track. But the President has
beaten them, wherever they have taken tile
held--and this last blow be has dealt them, at
Puebla, is satisfactory guarantee that the
people are with the government and against
the priests-that the ecclesiastical revenues
bill is not 10 be repealed-that we are to
have no more "Revolutions" at present and
) that our sister Republic, after all, is going
ahead, now, in the right direction, about is fast
as the difficulties finer situation will reasonas
bly, admit.--M Y. Express ...r 49,. -

SEVEN UNMARRIED MEN.-Not the seven

Crocker, of Va,,-at the recent Southern Con-
vention, made the. strange declaration found
-" Mr. Crocker, of Virginia. took occasion to

Southern girls to be educated at the North, and
stated, that only last evening he had heard no
fewer than seven young men swear that they
would never marry girl who bad been educas

The Southern conservative press is poking a
rood deal of fun at Mr. Croker, and his seven
swearcrs. who propose TO punish themselves
more than the fair daughters who are thus re-
pudiated. The Baltimore Patriot thinks these
seven sleepers will repent of their folly and
make confession of their SINS. So ac4....s

that the, seven young stoics would speedily
claim the, privilege of recanting their vows OF
disloyalty to those they have thus peremptorily
