Burial of tiie Bead.
The following hasty lines were suggested on read
ing an account of tiie burial of Mnj. Dade’s detach
ment, who were recently butchered by the Seminole
Indians.
Bring up the dead—we've turn'd the :jod,
And hollow’d out thoir prairie grave,
Here, where in martial pride they trod,
The young, the comely and the brave.
Tlio vulture long hath batten’d on
Ohf murder’d comrades’cold remains;-
The prairie wolf hath howl’d and gone
To covert oa the grassy plains.
Bile tin the dead—they perish’d all,
With front toward the savage foe;
Nor turn’d they from the death-wi-g’d ball,
The reeking knife, or hatchet’s blow.
And every inch was dearly bought.
Though dealh-howls echoed every side :
Their prostrate ranks tell how they fought,
’ Their mangled limbs tell how they died.
Lay out the dead—on Freedom’s flag,
Tho proudestshroud a soldier craves!
No’ war-whoqp rises from the crag.—
Now, place tlieur in their desert graves.
IJcfe plant the cauitnn which spoke not
In ore idful tones of vengeance deep,
That travellers may mark the spot
Where Dade’s brave band in silence steep.
Peace to the dcr-d—you need not fear
To weep itpfiit this gory rod;
There’s manliness in every tear,—
An eloquence that speaks to God !
Avenge them with vourdcurest blood—
• For every drop the savage shed.
Draw streams as red from hearts that would
DiCuj' and slay.—Peace to the dead

O! what will become of thee, poor little bird ?
The muttering storm in tho distance is heard ;
The rou"h winds arc waking, the clouds growing
black!
They’ll soon scatter snow-flake* all over thy hack!
From what sunny dime hast thou wandered away ? .
Aud'what art thou doing this cold winter day ?
‘I’m pecking the guni from the old peach :roo.
The storm docs’nt trouble me—Pee, dee, dec ’
But what makes thee seem.so unconscious of care!
The brown earth is frozen the branches are bare!
And how can’st thou he so light-hearted and free,
Like Liberty’s form with the spirit of glee,
When no placets near for thine evening rest.
No leaf lor thy screen, for thy bosom no nest ?
‘Because the same hand is a shelter for me,
That took off the summer leaves!—I’cc, dec, dee.’
But man feels g burden of want and of gri- f,
Whilepluckihg (lie clusters atid binding the sheaf!
We take from lb*? ocean, the earth and iiie air,
And all their rich gifts do not silence our care.
In summer we faint; iu winter we’re chilled.
With ever avoid that is yet to he filled.
‘A very small portion sufficient will be,
If sweetened with gratitude!—Pee, dee, dee.’
I thank thee, bright monitor!—what thou hast taught
Will oil be the themo of the happiest thought,
We look at the clouds, while the bird has an eye
To Him who reigns over them changeless ami high!
And now, bale he rot just tell me thy name,
That I may be sure whence my oracle came.
‘Because,in all weather I'm happy and free.
They call me the Winter King,—Pee, dee, dee.’
Uutsoon there'll he ice weighing down thy light bough
When on thou att tinting so merrily now !
And thuugh there’s a vesture well-fitted and warm.
Protecting the rest of thy delicate form,
What then wilt thou do with thy little bare feet
To save theln Irohi pain ’mid the frost and the sleet.
•I can draw them right up in my feathers you see!
To warm them, and fly away!—Pee, dee, dec.’

The Boat Horn.
Oh boatman ! wind that horn again!
For never did the joyous air
Upon t»s lainbfut bosom bear
So wild, so soft, so sweet a strain.
What tho’ thy notes are sad and lone,
By every simjile boatman blown!
Yet could I list from eve till morn,
Delighted to the simplest horn!
How oft in boyhood’s cloudless ii!ay
I’ve stroll’d by wild Ohio's stream,
Marking his silvery billows play,
Bright with the sun’s declining*beam,
While some loan boatman from the deck,
Musing on coming storms,and wreck.
Pour’d his soft slumbers to that tide
Where all his hopes, his fortunes ride,
As if to woo the fickle ware
From wreck and storm, his boat to save!
Delighted nature, dark the sound,
Enchanted echo bore it round
In whispers soft, and softer still,
From hill to plain, and plain to hill,
And e’en the reckless, frolic boy,
Elate with hope, arid wild with joy,
Who gambol’d by the river’s side.
And sported with the fretting tide
Feels something new pervade his breast,
Cjtain his light step, cut short his jest,
Bend* o’er the flood his eager ear
To catch the sounds far off, and dear.
Drinks the sweet draught, but knows not why
The tear of rapture fills his eye.
And cau he now, to manhood grown,
Tell why those notes, simple and lone,
As on the ravish’d ear they fell
Bound every sense m magic spell ?
There is a tide of feeling given
To allonearth. its fountain, Heaven,
Beginning with the downy flower,
Just epe’d in Flora’s vernal bower,
Rising creation’* orders through;
With bolder murmur, brighter hue.
That tide is sympathy! it* ebb and flow.
Give life its gleams of joy. it* shades of wo.
Music, the master-spirit that can inovo
Its waves of war, or lull them into love.
Can charm from beatity’s'eye the bfttef tear,
And I ;ft from sorrow’s heart its load of care.
Can cheer the sinking sailor on flic wave,
And bid (he soldiur on, nor heed the grave;
Inspire the fainting pi'grhn on the road,
And elevate his heart and soul to God.
Then: oitman! wind that horn again!
Tho’ much of sorrow mark its strain,
Yet are its notes to sorrow dear!
What tho’ Any rtakefond memory's tear!
Those are memory’s sacred feast,
And rapture oft her chosen guest.

MEXICO.
We subjoin, from Noiv-Oileaus papers, some
valuable statistical information in regard to Mex
ico. supposing ih st our readers, like ourselves,
must have often fell the want of such intelligence.
We now see the effect of brother Jonathan’s in
quisitiveness. Tho priests would doobtless have'
kept all tho knowledge they could in their own
hands, as has tieeu usual with them time out of
miud. knowiug belter than most people that
knowledge is power." At present tho case is
altered—
“A chiefs among them takin* notes,
‘An’ faith, he’ll print ’em.”
A STATISTICAL VIEW OF MEXICO.
The Uuited States of Mexico formed their con
stitution in 1824. on tho plan of onr Federal U-
aioo. The deviarinus were feiv and inrousidera-
19 states and 4 Territories formed the con
federation. A president was to he elected every
four years, and could not be re-elected. A sen
ate of two members from each state, atid a de-
pi t for each 80,000 population formed thecoD-
uress.
According to lit it constitution, every man atihe
age of 18 years becamo a voter; uo other qunli-
liration was required.
Indians atid Mestizoes, negroes and mulattoes,
were equally free citizeus anti voters.
The population of Mexico is at present about
8,000,000 In 1794. it Was about 5,000,000 ; mil
in 1806 it was 5,500,000; and in 1825 it was 6,-
ated land of Mexico it hris yielded 50 to J,
while in Europe only 10 or 12 to J, is considered
tho a vertigo production; ami t!i» best lands in
Kentucky yields only 22 to i.
To produce 1,000.000 pounds of sugar, only
159 laborers are required, while 300 are requisite
in Cuba add Louisiana.
The nrpdticiion of coffee it still easier in Mex
ico; ten then can tend 200,000 trees, whiih on
au average, produce 590,000 pounds.
Cotton, .also, of a quality far superior to ours,,
can he purchased in many parts of Mexico, in
I greater quantities by one third, limn cats be ob
tained from the uest4;ii)d$ in LoirLtaka.
The silver mines in Mexico are perhaps iock -
li.itistilile ; .‘f.f'OO.f'OO.OCO of s.lvgr have hccu
i drawn from them during 300 years past, averag
ing $10,000,000 per annum.
The English .Mining Company was established
in 1823; there are no tv If); English 7; North
American 2 ; German 1. The business, however
has hccu unprofitable.
The great source of wealth in .Mexico, is her
eminently productive soil. All the production; of
southern Europe abound there in the kighdit state
of luxuriance and perfection.
Ilorses, cattle, sheep, &c- of the first quality,
can be raised at a very trifling expense; the cli
mate being remarkably congenial to their r.a :
lures. The expenses of winter feeding is avoid
ed. there being no winter there:—horses of tho
best quality can be obtained from 15 to 20 dollars
per head.
The Mexicans have 1,600,000,000 acres of
good land to lie sold to colonists on six years' cre
dit, nt a few cents per acre. Any poor man.'
therefore, without a cent, in his pocket, can pur
chase his thousand* of acres, of the very hestlnud
iu the world, nud frutn the productions of that
land, if he is industrious, at the expiration of six
years, find his paymeuts all made ami himself tn-
depeudently rich."
Agricultural labor cau lie obtained throughout
Mexico at the average rate of 25 ccuts per dry.
These low rates opernto evidently to the advan
tage of the ci terprisiug agricidturist; b’tit the'
consequence is time tenths of the natives forever
remain in the most abject poverty aud servitude.
Like tho ancient Israelites, they sell themselves
to pay their debts, and a small del) t of fivo dollars
often forces them into a servitude, from vihich,
in consequence of the high price of clothing and
the low rate? of labor, they are never able to ex
tricate themselves. Mechanical labor is mostly
performed by foreigners at from two to four dol
lars per day. Soldiers of iufautry have $1 25
cents per day, and of cavalry $2, bat they have
no rations allowed tliem; they must therefore
clothe and feed themselves, the government fur
nishing nothing but arms and ammunition. The
pay, however is always in arrears, and yery dffi-
rult to collect. They seldom receivo any thing
but clothing, charged to them at an extravagant
rate, and that only when reduced to the last ex
tremity. As to their food, they are often compel
led to borrow, beg or levy it by military contribu
tions. The Mexican forces aro at this titae id a
very disorganized and troubled state, reduced t|>
rags and beggary, without resources,'their pay se
veral u ouths iu arrears, aud the national treasury
exhausted. Such; is the nation with whom fbo
brave Texiaus are at war and such is the country
they possess.
UNITED MEXICAN STATES.
As tho war is now raging between Mexico and
her late territories, Texas aud Coahuila, the fol
lowing statistics may no: be uniuierestiug, at least
to many of our readers. It is copied from tho
Comprehensive Atlas, which Mr. Fay, as agent; is'
now soliciting patronage for iu this city.
