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

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

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

" 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.

The volunteer regiment lias been

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
