The Day of Waterloo.
Ambition! curse of tinman mind, -What
tears you cause to flow,
W hat woesinfiici oti all mankind,
Oh day of Waterloo.
How many a gallant soldier bold
W here death-winped bullets flew.
And many a noble heart will mourn
The day of Waterloo.
The aged father bending dowrrr
To earth from whence he rame ;
Sad end in grief his son will mourn,
Who fell at Waterloo"' ''- s.:
The tender mother, frantic, wild,
OYrwhclmed witti weight of wo,
W ill mourn her lost, her darling child,
Who died at Waterloo,
And many a son and daughter loo, -
Who both together grew.
Will join to mourn a parent dear
Entombed at Waterloo.
And many a widow too will weep
A husband dear and true,
Whose eyes are closed in endless sleep
On plains of Waterloo.
The tender babe has yet to learn
A father's love lo know,"
And unborn infant?, too, will mourn
The day of Waterloo.
And see on beauty's rosy cheek
The briny tears do flow ;
She mourns the lover, faithful, true,
Who died at Waterloo.
The day was won the battle o'er
The news like lightening flew,
Proud Bonapane of glory shorn
Fled swift from Waterloo.
And now the kings of Europe Slates
With troph:es bright and new,
Return to crown at Paris gate
The chief of Waterloo.
A Bachelor leads an easy life.
A bachki.or leads an easy life,
Few folks that are wed live better ;
A man mar live ell with a vry good wife,
But the puzzle is how to get her:
1 here are pretty good wive?, and pretty bad
wives,
And vives neither one thing nor t'other;
And. as" for wives who sco'd ainfreTriives,
I'd sooner wed Aiiam's grandinothr r.
Ti en, lao'it s and genu, if to marriage ii.eliuV',
May deceit or ill-humour ne'er irapye!
Miy those who are sinjjle get wives to .'heir
mind,
And iliuse who are married live happy.
Some choose their ladies for ease, or for grace,
Or a prelty lurn'd f.ot as they're walking ;
Some choose for figure, and some chouse for face,
Bui very fe choose Vm fur talking.
Now, as for the uife I could follow through life,
'Tis she who can speak sincerely ;
Who not over nice, can give good advice,
And love a giiod husband dearly. "f
So, ladies and gen. s, when to wedlock inclin'd,,
May deceit nor il!-humour e'f r trap ye !
Mjy those who are single find MVts :t; ti.rir
mind.
And these who are married lire happy !

We perceive that some of ihe papers
habitually sp-k of this individual as hav
ing been a worthy and philanthropic man.
But for our part we can never hold op to
public admiration the memory of a man
who stinted and screwed through a whoie
lifetime, even if he did devise the hoard he
c uld no longer keep, tor the benefit of the
orphan, lie must do something with his
money he was cold-hearted and had no
desire to leive so large a sum to mere re
latives, and therefore doubtless thought
ihM he would compound for a hard and
selfish life, by ainqudlv selfish fir of iren
crosity at hi death. But impartial histo.
ry ennnwt be bribed in this manner. Ste
phen Giiard b id justly thr reputation of
being a close, hard hearted man while he
lived, and the memory of his real charac
ter wil survive, though the splendid monu.
menls raised by his immen-e wealth were
literally covered wnh enlogu-tic faleshoods-

The .Tea Plant in France.
The Journal oe- Debals states that the
experiments made for introducing the cul-
ture of the lea p!ant in France had fully suc
ceeded. The tea plant has been found to
thrive ps well in Angers as at Hveres, un
der the warmer climate of Provence; which
is considered a fact without example in the
history of this plant Bince its introduction
in Europe, and uemenstrates thai the cli
mate of France is favorable to the culture
of the lea plant. The experiments made
in Algeria have not been so uccessful; all
the plants'were killed by the hent.-iiotw.itb.
standing every precaution Between the
province .in the north of France, of which
the c'imate appears too cold and humid, and
the burning plains of Algeria, there may be
selected the provinces of the south, where,
by choosing good soils and favorable sites,
there could be no doubt but the tea plant
might be cultivated with success. "

learns from ihe same sonrce that the M. xi
can troons at San Louis Potosi have been
ordered -n-il o inarch towards Monterey,
The Cuner SPPms o hink it doubtful
whether ihis rejectin of 'he overtures of
our Government was uppmved by Snta
Anna, and whether in fact he wis at the
moment presiding over ihe Government.
The representations which have been nude
ions on this subj-ct, both verbally and by
letter, are to the effect that Santa Anna was
actually in th ciiy of Mexico, and rally,
hough not ostensibly enrolling ihe uction
of the Government. This w- st i td yes
terday, but have since seen in tlje Mobile
Herald a letter which siys Santa Anna was
still at Jalapaw
Iliiwever this may be, we cannot douhf,
upon rf perusing a letter wh.ch we rec ived
on Monday, from an officer of the Navv.
ihat Gen. Santa Anna doeskin fact cintroI
the Government of Mextc . If, how ver,
any advantage can be gained by him here- '
after from disa-wing ihe co re which
Geo. Sales and ihe Mexican Cabinet have
p irsued, Santa Anna is precisely the rpan.
in oj;ike such disavowal. He is a nioriHter
of GupUciiy, and his afFcted reluctance to
assume the rein of pwer at once and open- .
Iv, may be a rubterluge by which fo escape
from the fulfilment oi pledges wt.jch he has
given. That 'his re'uc snce is effected, is
false and hollow, we have no Ooubt; ihe D '
Iv quemion 'will, us i", who is to De made
the victim of his duplicity?
