The Flowers of Life.

n. A. FOSTER.
This world is not deserst drear, hta
OF care and sorrow only;
Where pleasures bloom, they disappear,
To leave the heart more lonely.
For scattered here and there through life
Are many lonely flowers, a
With soul inspiring fragrance rife, a',ft
To cheer our latest hours, lt.s
And such is Friendship-not frail
Bright CLEAN of sunny weather,
Whose brittle bands in need, will fail
TO link fond hearts together.
But Fr!edship's true that stronger grows
When tempests hover near US,
And amid earth's darkened shadow, glow,
A star of hope to cheer US.
And dearest memory, thst brings
The honied joys we tasted,
Back TO our hearts, our fairy wings.
From which with time they hasted
o, say not life is only dresr!
For bright, tue gifts ere given;
Friendship, and Memory, cheer US here,
And Hope directs to Heaven.

hemence about "nipger equality" and other
kindred topics, which the so-called Demo-
Gratis delight to roll under their tongues,
when he attempted an illustration thus:
"Suppose the Republicans should win,
what would be the result! Let me draw a
picture. You, sir, (pointing to a well dress
ed. good looking nan in the crowd) at the
next election, with your honest face and pa
triotic heart, would march (up to the polls
and deposit your vote for say Stephen A.

for the purpose OF excusing the rebellious
colonies in the eyes OF civilized mankind
There is your Declaration OF Independents

Schurz, the people Of Springfield who heard
him, and he whole Republican party
"Mark, now, how plain tale shall put you

Mr.. Douglas had given to the Declafa.
tion Of Independence an Interpretation
which limited II to White men, and had said
that the opening sentence was only mean,
to declare that British subjects in Americs
were as good as British subjects in Gres'
Britain. With all the force Of bis eloquence

GEN. FORBES BRIToN.--Our readers have already
been advised that the Hon Forbes Brton has receiv
ed a commission as Brigadier General, and we believe
no better appointment could have been made. Gen.
Brton arrived in our city yesterday morning, and
left this morning. on his way to Washington city. He
is the bearer of important dispatches from Governor
Houston to the President of the United States and he
also carries with him the report Of the Commission
ers, Taylor and Navarro, whom the Governor ap-
pointed go to the Rio Grande to enquire into the
existing difficulties there, and make report.
The publication of this report will be looked for
with great anxiety, it goes into the minute causes
of its origin, and sets forth clearly the present posi-
ton of affairs and it has been said that the Commits
soners have expressed the opinion that there no Sc
curity for Texas until the Government occupies the
light bank of the Rio Grande
We also learn that the Governor states distinctly to
the President, that IeraS cannot be inUdded Nth I'M
puatiu He entertains the confident hope and belief,
that the President will act promptly and efficiently in
the matter
He selected Gen. Briton, who is the Senator from
the Rio Grande section, and fam lar with that border,
as also with the character of the In1ians and our
whole border troubles, that he might lay the whole
subject correctly before the President The Governor
will take no definite action until the President is
heard from and should the General Government fail
to give that proper protection which our situation de-
mands, the Governor will promptly assume the re-
sponsbility himself.
We understand that Major McCulloch has been tel
epraphed to return to the State. When we see the
Governor calling around him the military men Of the
State and organizing the militia, it looks to us as IT
something of moment threatening, and especially
when we connect it with Gen. Houston's known con-
yictions of the necessity of Protecorae over Mex
ico.- Galreston .Ne,1s, 21sf.
