POETRY.
HE CA9IE TOO LATE.
lie came too Ute! neglect had tried
Her constancy too long;
Her love had yielded to her pride
And the deep cense of wrong.
She scorned the offering of a heart
Which lingered on its way.
Till it could do delight impart
Nor shed one cheering ray.
He came too late! at once be felt
That all his power was o'er;
Indifference in her calm smile dwelt—
She thought of him no more.
Anger and grief had passed away.
Her heart and thoughts were free;
She met him and her words were gay,
Ko spell had memory.
LEADING CHILDREN TO GOD.
A moihor, sitting at her work in ibe
parlor, overheard her child, whom an el
der titter wax dressing in an adjoining
room, aay repeatedly, a* if in answer to
hit sister: 'ho, I don’t want to say my
; I don’t want to aay my prayers?
He came too late! the subtle cords
Of love were all unbound—
Not by offence of spoken words,
But by the alight* that wound,
She knew that life had nothing now
That could the past repay;
Vet she disdained his tardy vow.
And coldly turned away.
Ho came tag late! her countless dreams
Of hope had long since flown—
No charm dwelt in his chosen theme,
Nor in his whispered tone.
And when with word and smile he tried
Affection still to prove,
3ho nerved her heart with woman's pride
And spurned his fickle love.
MISCELLANY.
AN ESCAPE.
The Austin Democrat of a recent date,
says that n Mexican boy 10 or 12 years <>•
nqe, came lo the house of Mr. Tharp, near
iii.it city, having escaped from a party of
Camanehes, uho where huniing on tlie
Sun Gabriel. He was taken from near
■Sin Antonio ataut four years ago. He
says he was ui the late treaty with the
Indians, but they kepi him concealed
while there. He made his escape in the
following manner: He went in company
with some Indian boys, to catch buffalo
calves. Coming upon a gang, they com
menced running iliem, when one of the
calves became seperaterl from the rest
prayers; i non t want to xay my prayer*.
‘How many church members in good
standing.’ thought the mother to herself,
‘often say the same thing, in their henrls,
though they conceal even tram themselves
the leeling.*
‘Mother,’ said the child, appearing in a
minnte or two, at ihe parlor door; the
tone and look implied that it was only bis
morning salutation.
‘Good morning, my child.’
‘I am going to'get my breakfast.’
‘Stop n minute, I want you to come and
see me first?
The mother laid down her work in the
next chair, a* the boy ran towards her.—
She look him up. He kneeled in her lap,
and laid his facedown upon her shoulders,
his cheek against her car. The mother
rocked her chair slowly backwards and
forwards.
‘Are you pretty well this morning ?’
said she. in a kind, gentle tone.
‘Yes, mother, I am very well.’
•I am glad you are well. I am very
well, too; and when 1 waked up this
morning, and found that I was very well,
I thanked God for taking,care of me.’
‘Did you ?’ said ihe twy in a low tone
—half whisper. He paused after it—
conscience was nl its work.
‘Did you feel my pulse?’ asked his
moilier, nl’ier a minute of silence, at the
same time taking the boy clown and plac
ing him in lier lap, and placing his fingers
on her wrist.
No, but 1 have felt mine.’
Well, don’t you feel mine bow—how
it per beating?*
‘Yes!’ said the child.
,ll*it should stop beating I should die.’
•Sould yon ?’
•Yes, and I can’t keep it beating-’
•Who can?’
•God.’
A silent pdbsc.
“You have a pulse, too; which bents
in your bosmn here, and in your arms,
and nil over you, and I cannot keep it
heating, nor enn you. Nobody can but
God. If lie sould not take care of you,
who could ?
‘I don’t know,’ said ihe child, with a
look of nnxietv, nmt another pause ensued.
•So when I waked this morning, 1
l nought I d ask God to Inkc core of me. 1
hope he will take care of me, and nil of us.’
‘Did you ask him to lake care of me ?’
‘No.’
•Why not r
‘Because 1 thought you would a~k him
yourself ?’
A long pause ensused. The deeply
thoughtful and almost anxious expression
of countenance showed that bis heart was
ranched. .
Don’t yoo think you bad better ask
him lor yourelf?’
•Yes,’ said the boy, randily.
He kneeled again in hi* mother’s lap.

ABUSING THE PRESIDENT.
This lias been the great work of whig-
gcry for the last five or six months. All
or nearly all the editors in the pay of the
parly, from the big to lira little, have strai
ned their noddles and ransacked their dic
tionaries for hard words to say against the
Presdent—sometimes for something he
had dour,ami sometimes for something he
hud not done—and always withoai good
cause.
When General Taylor first moved to
wards the Rio Grande, the President was
denounced for permitting the movement.
Saiil wbiggery, there is no necessity for
it; nr if necessity lor any defensive de
monstration, certainly tint for sending so
many soldiers. The nrtny had scarcely
ranched the left bank of the river, when
they were menaced by superior numbers,
and obliged to send for reinforcetnenls.—
Then the President was abused because
he hud not sent more—because lie had
sent a mete handful to cope with thnu-
snnds. The instructions lo General Tay
lor were produced, and demonstrated
that the brave officer had been ordered
to keep himself in a condition to meet
any force that he might have reason,to
I relieve would oppose him. That proves
just what wc have said, exclaims wliigge-
ry now—wc have always contended that
the President intended to stir up a war
nnd his instructions lo Taylor to be ready
for it proves that we were right.
Next came news that General Gaines
wns raising volunteers beyond those call
ed fir by General Taylor or authorized
by the government—ami the President
was abused for permitting it. Thou
sands of dollars are thus being squander
ed, cries Wbiggery. Well the President
for the sake of Economy, accepted the
service* of ns many volunteers ns were
needed, hut without sanctioning the con-
duet of Gen. Gaines, and ordered that
too hasty officer to give an Recount of him
self. Whiggery’s eyes nl once overrun
with tears. • Twas too had lo call a gal
lant soldier to account for merely doing
ton much, and what he was not author
ized lo do ’ And besides, the President
had accepted some of the volunteers; by
what consistent rule cnuln he reject the
others? Even now the abuse of the
President for this act has not ceased.
We suppose there is n general under
standing amongst whig editors, that when
they have nothing else to do they shall
turn their hntleries upon President Polk—
some grant gun leading off, and others
following him in their order. ‘Tis a ve-
ry good scheme, and we care not how
strictly it is carried out. -The President
can withstand this fire, quite as long as
tlieir powder lasts; and will undoubtedly
ne pleased lo see them enjoy themselves.

SHAM SYMPATHY. FOR LABOR.
The whole burden of the prolectionest
cry now is, that the new Tariff of 1840
is a perseettion of American la! or. Now
lie it observed, in the first place, that
more than three-fourths of American la
bor is devoted to to the tillage ol the soil;
vet no man stands up to say that the tariff
of 1842 gave, or was intended to give,
this immense proportion of American in
dustry. any substantial protection what
soever. It is a most astounding fact, and
will hereafter be looked upon as one of
the wonders of our day, that the party
calling themselves by way of eminence
the protectionists of American labor, lmvc
left the agricultural labor of our country
wholly out of view in their calculations.
This is enough, but it is the least part of
the truth. If the protectionists in their
tariff of 1842 had only failed to protect
American agriculture, and to let it alone,
ihe case would have been far better than
it is. Instead of doing so, they have
taxed the farmer enormously, mid on
system, in every thing that fie buys.—
They tax his salt—and the senator from
Missouri well called this an impious Inx—
150 percent. They do, iu the law of 13-
42, alt that legislation can do to tax the
former’s clothing, whether of woolen or
cotton, on a similar principle, if util to a
degree equally enormous. But they re
serve ibeir heaviest impositions for the
former’s tools. His drag chain, his axe,
his plow, his spade and hoep.iy, directly
or indirectly, under the tariff of 1342, an
amount of duly ruinously oppressive. It
was proved clearly in the House of Rep
resentatives from the sta-tistical returns
of the census, that the capitalist eugag>-d
in the iron inunulacture made, under the
law of 1S43, 60 per centum interest ou
his capital invested. It wus further prov
ed, taking the current price ot iron in the
English market, and udding to it five dol
lars per ton for freight, insurance, &e.,
that if the Amcrtcan iron master had sold
his iron as low as the English article cu-.ild
lie bought in New York with this sole ad
dition, no duties being charged, he would
then make 30 per cent on his capital in
vested, after full aud litierat allowance for
all ihe expenses of production. Such is
the tax levied by law of 1342 on iron, thu
article of most prime necessity lathe for
mer, used by him in all tho luhors ol til
lage. How long will a parly that slunds
up for legislation like this have tiie hardi
hood to call theinselucs the party of pro
tection to American industry. They pro
tect the'formers—that is, three-fourths of
the laborers of the land—by huge taxes
on their food, their clothing, and their im-
fftimeuts of husbandry.?
But let us see how the rentier stands
with the opciatices engaged in manufac
tures. Tire pretext is, that litis enor
mous taxation upon tho former, enures
to their benefit. Let us see the truth of
the mailer. It is well brought out in the
following article which we copy from the
Baltimore Republican. We commend
the facts here stated to the attention of
our readers. They speak for lemselvcs.

THE PLAN OF EDUCATION.
Messrs. Editors;—If the Slate is simply
to provide the means, and a plan of educa
tion, and the counties, districts or parishes^
lo make the application—it is important
that litis plan be fully detailed, and the
meant be made adequate to iie operation.
To effect this, instead of any simultaneous
action on the part of the counties, or exces
sive outlay at any one time on that.of the
State; the counties should be allowed lo
act ae their circumstance! might admit,
and the State go on gradually to furnish
each, at it should be prepared with the
necessary means. As to (he plan, this will
require considerable detail.
I have said that each and every citizen
of n Republic should be presented alike
with all the objects nnd laws contained in
the natural undinorat kingdom* of the uni
verse, and have his mind so strengthened
nnd enlarged by the due consideration of
these, ne to be rally prepared, lo the extent
of hit ability and' in accordance with his
idstc, lo perform a distinct part in the grand
economy of human life. It will be evident
then in adopting any system of instruction,
that—first, a course of languages—secondly,
a course of mathematical and mechanical
philosophy, and thirdly, a course of natural
bilily. - l »■■ -
I am aware that it is impossible to bring
the education of every child of the State to
this express rule, but it is neceesary the;
some definite understanding be had, that
each parent may-do all in Iu* power to ap
proximate lo it at least. At the same tiino
it will be neceesary to determine the vaca
tion of three months that these may cor
respond with the domestic economy of iht
agriculi ural family at least. This 1 should
fix for the monlht of spring in the Southern
country; In March, April and May, ws
are most dilligemly employed in pluming
and perfecting the crop, and a youth of
from' fifteen to eighteen can accomplish in
three months a great portion of the requis-'
' ~ ’nrlherri
ite labor of t|t» form. In the Northern
climate tins'vacation may. vary to suit fhe'
demands of agricultural labor; but shofild
still be confined to three months, and be
always at one term. It ieafalse idea,that
because the youth has a vocation from
mental exercises he should not be employ
ed physically. Morally speaking, there is
no period allowed f
for rest, but the seventh
duy r of the week; and ihis rule should .bb
most strictly adhered lo in yonih, when
idleness so easily takes root, and produces
in Its growlli so many ills. In cur next,

ROBBERIES AND MURDERS.

and moral philosophy no taught. As these i adjoining countie*; have for some time
respectively include what arc called the
accomplishments, viz; the history of na
tions mid their geographic relations—draw
ing—lineal and rcprescnintivc; and botany
aud mineralogy, they will not lie particu
larized, but be regarded as constituting the
afternoon exercises of each class of yoiith.
To accomplish these courses, three years
will be required of conslnnl application for
nine months of each of these years, or the
entire education of the citizen bo effected
in twenty-seven months in all. To make
the proper apportionment of the three differ
ent courses to these three year*, experience
lias taught, that as the mathematics con
stitute the most powerful cxcilcmcnt to the
faculty of abstraction, that most required
in all the operations of the mind; ibis
branch of instruction should take up the
first third of the enure term; the langua
ges tho second, or rather ibe morning of
ilicsa portions, and tho nntural and moral
sciences occupy the mornings of the ro
ll.
past been kept in great excitement by tho
numerous robberies, negroes and horses
stolen, and the discovery nnd arrest ofthc
thieves and murderers. When the mat
ter first came to light, four arrests were
marie, and the criminals commided to
Quincy jail. The confessions Of sofine at
the parlies, gave a certain clue to others,
and the citizens of Gadsden, with praise
worthy efforts, immediately set about
their arrest. One of the priucipftl acforsy
Alvin Flowers! for a long lime'ihe driver
of the mail stage from Quincy to Chntft?
hoochee, who had been charged with fre
quent robberies of the same, hearing of
the arrest of his confederates, made hiS
escape for the West. A purse was inimfc-
diatcly made up by the eitizens ol Quin*
ituiining third. Thu afternoons, ns wns
before observed would be applied, for the
i, lineal nnd rep-
first term, to the drawings,
rosomntivc—for the second, to history arid
geography, and for tire third term; to bota
ny nnd mineralogy.
It may be questioned at lo the possibili
ty of ellecling so much in so short a spac
ilucc
uf lime, but the history ol education places
this beyond a doubt. The introduction of
descriptive Geometry ns a means of ex
panding ihe mind, has produced a perfeci
revolution iu this important initiatory branch
of instruction, and wluu two years were re
quired to impart before; one will easily ac
complish now. As lo the second course,
few arc aware of Ibe rapid advancement
that will be made by a nund daily exercis
ed by the mathematics, iqthe acquirement
of the languages, end the due appreciation
of historical aud geographical facte. The
third course' it usual with Colleges, and
need not be dwelt on; farther than to as
sure the reader, that the mind once opened
to Ihe reception of natural phenomena, they
c^r, anil Messrs.'diaries M. Harris, MiiJ;
Gibson, anil others, started ill pursuit.-
They left in advance of the stage, whll-tf
might convey information to Flowers,-
nnd ME Harris; when the stage overtook
the company, left his hofse; and travelled
in tho singe to Pen9itcola, where he nr*
rived in time lo take a steamboat bn the
r.ve of leaving for Mobile. The next day'
he was fortunate enough to detect nnd
secure Flowers on a steamboat just ar
rived from New Orleans; He found lit*
friends at Pensacola on his return, ahtl
reached Quincy with his prisoner on Sat
urday last. Great credit is due in all
those who participated in this capture, us
it will doubtless lead to others equally
important. On the examination ol Flow

to drive the stage from Hall’s Lnhding to

ish of Flowers was exemplified on Ihe
rush in with an impetuosity, that clearly rou te from Marianna, having succeeded

of all ihe wondcrfbl works of divine provi
dence.
Our next enquiry must lie as to tlie age
at which the young cilizen should be de
voted to the development of bis intellectual
faculties; and here is where I shall require
the most careful consideration of those who
•tudy this subject. I have said that the
first department of education eliould de

in the stage, he being the only passenger
—the remains of the letters having, siiiL-ri
been found in a swamp on the route, neat-

it is believed, "were obtained: FloWerS

The Pope elected by a mistake.—His ho
liness toe present pope, Pius IX, bus
been elected by a mistake, or rather be
was. as those‘familiar with elections in
Merie England” well know, set up as
a candidate without the intention of his
being finally elected. It occurred thus:
When tlie cardinals are duly “ fixed” in
the conclave, they begin in the evening
by giving the name of one whom they
have no intention should be ultimately
chosen; this is done In see to whom are
the general tendencies of their likinga di
rected, or in plain Saxon, as a “feeler.”
It appears that on the aheond: evening of
the conclave, the cardinals, according to
established usage gave in the names of
those whom they did not intend should be
elected pope; and cardinal Giovanni
Maria Mastai FerrettL archbishop of Im-
olo,aod now Pius the ninth, was appoin

such pursuits as the parent might be en

will require an equal length of time with
the second, three years; so that six years
■mitt be devoted lo ita two. But ihe
Spiritual branch, or that in which the
Church is interested; although this never
ceases, yet there it an essentia! obligation
to devote n fair portion of our younger years
