Having rambled a little out tf my ordinary walk one evening, I jfound myself ner a dwelling, in the Imme diate vicinity of a country village, where a few young ladies, (or ratlier gtrlt) boarded, who were going to school to the village academy. The situation was beautiful beyond descrip tion. The building was a remarkably white-mansiorrrsurrouhiled "by luxuriant cedars, and wide spreading forest oaks; the whole was enclosed with a most handsome paling, painted red, with white tops. A gravel walk led from the Steps each way. in a cir cular form, embracing a small area,inr tersected with walks, fringed : with nameless flowers. In the centre of this chequered spot, a little summer bower was thrown up, furnished with seats, and overrun with the virgin bower, the delicate multiflora, and the far scented magiiolia, all weaving their slender tendrils into such a dose texture, that even a sunbeam could not penetrate it. Adjoining the yard, there was a beau tiful flower garden tho walks were thickly set with boxwood, and various kinds ol shruDuerv. In it there was also a small, turret covered with wild vines and flowers. ,1 had seated my sell close by the garden as twilight came on, ana naa indulged in a lew re flections upon the cares, anxieties, and sorrows connected with the most ex-i uuiaite-eartld dlich tswheff they-re unsanctifled by religion i wbeti.;.the scarce heard footsteps of gome one aroused me from my thoughts the car den gate was opened, and through the vine-clad palisades, I saw the form of a veautiful female, moving slowly a long one of the walks toward the centre of the garden. Her figure was most excellent, delicate and symmetrical. Her hair was long and black, falling in clustering luxuriance over a poiianea brow, and a neck as white as Parian marble. She was young and rosy, not more than fifteen summers having kiss ed lice fair xheeki, her head, was droop, ed upon her bosom, and in her hand she held a Igve r't. In JsK-tl'. aaaawd I the arbour, .she approached very -Bear U Lwhere 4 rw, iUUn rman(, rating w hflrr,t; shere 1 was sitting slie saw -Gasting-a-lrorrteJ ghracevi rouna tner garaen, sne with rather a graceful carelessness seated herself up on a li ttl hillock of green flowers, and j j e running urr lung lapereu lingers among her raven tresses, she leaned her head Upon her hand, and in a moment again seemed lost in thought. Ah! gentle maidj thought I, these are your days oft nappmess, mege are your naicyon moments. , , But a tigh escaped her bo- tomJrfeiflilte a tieatTvbtiU upon my sens.'tlve heart! What! thought I, is it rossible that she has ever felt a care? las anguish ever wrung her heart? Ihs any of her hopes been blasted, tint she should pour her sighs upon the ear of the pitiless winds?- Yes, the thought came .home with redoubled power to my heart, that there is no con dition in human life exempt from its cares, its aniieties. its sorrows. As I gazed upon this lovely creature, she gently arose from her j seat, and ram bled along the 1Wwery--footpath and began to sing with a seraph like voice, that favorite stanza of all, who are away from home, beginning, 'J. , ' "'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may ..-. roam, , ,k - i Tat ever so Bumble there's no place like home." Her melodious voice rose sweetly upon, the night .winds, and floated a way opon the soft breath of heSven. When she had done singing, she razed upon the silvery queen of night- a pearly tear was trembling upon her cheek, and glistened in the moonbeam. My. feelings .were wrought up to the greatest io tensity i but in a moment, the4 soothing tones . or her lute lulled the tempest in my bosom, to the tranquil- r. a.:. t.t.. -.1 . .

I KXAS.' T the Editort if the Lout tvillt Journal. . r- GaUemeaa-ifa.ving just- re4uied from a visit to Texas, 1 have thoup-lit a short statement of the situation of af fairs in a country, that at present oc cupies so much attention, might not be uninteresting to your reaoers. " The two houses ofCongres have just cltised their session, and have passed many laws calculated greatly to benefit the country. They have passed an act levying du ties on importations of foreign goods, and a direct (ax on'the citizens of Tex as, which will produce a revenue of half a million. 1 They have funded the public debt, bearing an interest of ten befr ce nlT redeemable in ten years, and provided for tne payment ol the interest They have passed an act authorising all those who were entitled to land at the declaration of independencerto perfect their titles, and appointed commissioner of - the land offirei all other claims will be postponed until the country can be surveyed ami tlis tricted after the manner uf the United States. -They have oreanized an efllcient ju diciaryi and justice is ailininistered, without sale, denial, or delay. They have passed laws suppressing gambling, which are promptly enforc ed. They have declared the African slave trade to be piracv, and to kill in a duel to be murder in the first degree, and many other acts regulating Ihe in ternal affairs of the country and giving force and efficiency to the administra tion of justice. No fears are entertained, at present of an invasion by Mexico. If the sit uation- of her affairs at home-justified her in making the attempt, there would .vr wt the most remote prospect success."Th Situation f'6'f Teift 'makei. trtheThnst east CountrfJohjOii'ojrld. To tlelenJ, and.thapresant.ppjgtjiotj is more than auffieienl lo repel any force Mexico can bring into the field. The Mexicans are a degraded and ser vile race, vastly inferior in physical Iiower to the Anglo-American, and on y take the field when compelled to do jobyjome military despot. They are in Tact ilavei upon the estate on which they reside, and, however popular the wiiLajjaiusnieiRanay ue m exico, I l- a thef will never willingly come to Tex as as invaders. The terrible lesson taught them at San Jacinto will long be remembered. - The volunteer regiment lias been furlough d until fait, because, at pres ent, the country has no use for Its ser vices. Ihe regiment or regulars and the mounted rangers still remain in service, and are more than sufficient for all the wants of the country. From what 1 observed,! have no doubt it is the intention of the government to in vade Mexico next fall, if peace should not be made. .They will at least take Matamoras, and occupy all the coun try on the Rio , Grande.. Policy re quires that they-should breakup 11 the settlements on. thst river, that the Mexicans may no longer have a point upon which they. can concentrate and invade the country at their pleasure, f - The militia of the country ar in a state of efficient organization. ..And every one in Texas considers himself a soldier in case of invasion. - The vic tors of Santa Anna are yet there, and i t a . i a . . more mm tnrce fourths ol them were the citizens proper of Texas. v-VA ' 'The people and army have th full est confidence in their comma ndfri, Generals Johnson and Houston, who, as officers of isience. will byr favor.- able comparison with those of any ser- 1 yice Under their command, with ths ' enemv titer have, to fantcmlji-Ltii thm....
