Revenge.
Revenge is us incinniTatible with happi •
Deis as it is hostile to religion. Let hint
whose heart is black with 'miller, and stn- i
thous of revenge, walk through the field
while clad with verdure and ;adorned with
flowers,—to his eye there is no beauty, the
flowers to him exhale no fragrance. Dark
as his soul, nature is robed in deepest sa
ble. The smile of beauty lights tint up
his bosom with joy—but the tories of hell I ,
rage in his breast, and render hint as mitt
eraule its he ootiLl wish the o'iji•ct of his'
hate. But let !inn lay his hand on his
heart, and sty,''Revenge, I cast th r from
me—Fatlier forgive them as I forgive my
enemies,"—aid nature assumes a new and
delightful garniture. Then, indeed, are
the Meads verdant and thi• flowers l'rag•
rant--then is the music of the groves de
Beau' to his ear, attul the smile of virtu
ous beauty lovely to the soul.
Dignity of Labor.
From whence urtenuUrut the idea that
it was derogatory to a lady's dignity, or a
blot upon toe female character, to labor
and who was the first to say, sneeringly,
' Olu, she works for a living i" Surely,
such ttleas and expressions ought not to
grow on republi can bOll. The tunehas
been, when ladies of the first rank were
accustomed to busy themselves in domes
tic employment.
,
Humer tells us of princesses who used,
to draw Water from the swing., and wash
with their own hands the finest of the lin
en of their respective families. The fa -
mous Lucretia used to spin in the. tuid.t of
her attendants ; and the wife of Ulysse.,
after the siege of Troy, employed herself
in weaving until her husband returned to
Ithaca. And in latter Cline. the wile of
George the Third of England, has been
represented as spending an evening in
hemming pocket handkerchiefs while her
Alary sat in the corner darning
stockings.
Few American fortunes will support a
woman who is above the calls of her fam
ily ; and a man of sense, in choosing a
companion to jog with him through all the
up hills of life, would sooner choose one
who had to work for a living, than one
who thought it beneath her to soil her
pretty hands with manual labor although
she possessed her thousands. To be able,
to earn one's living by laboring, with her'
own hands, should be reckoned among fe•
male accomplishments ; and I hope the,
time is not fir distant ishen mine of in . %
Country will be ashamed to have it known
that they are better versed in usefulness,
than they are in ornamental acoomplish.

Late from, ',Mexico—Confir
mation of the Capture of
the Texian dewy.
The rumors of the detest of the Texiaos
at Mier, which were brought by the last
accounts from Galveston, are fully con
firmed by authenticated accounts received
by a late arrival at New Orleans from
Mantamoras. We 'note from the N. 0.
Bee of 2.61 i ult., as follows:
"Ott the 15th December, Gen. Amou•
dia received a despatch from Gen. Wull,
informing him that the Texians, 800 or
1,000 strong, had taken Loretto, and that
he (Gen. Noll) had been conipell,d to
fall back; that the Texian forces were
taking the northern route too arils Ma ta
mores. On the receipt of this intelli
gence, Gen. Ampulla left Mate moms with
two battallions of sappers and miners in
quest of the enemy, and reached Miei,
fifty leagues distant, on the 291 Decem
ber. ,A body of Texiane, under the coin.
manta of Coluto3la Fisher and Green, had,
id the mean time, crossed the river and
attacked the town in the night. The
mud immediately went to the assistance
.1 the city, when an engagement took
; dace which lasted seventeen hour..
Every house and street was desperately
I.lel'entled. After the battle had been
hnaintsined on both sides with detertmnas
lion and obstinacy fur such a great length
'of time, the Texians, finding themselves
surritunded on all side, resolved to sur
render, and finally capitulated on honor•'
able terms. It is feared, however, that
the articles of surrender will not be faith
fully complied with un the part of Mexico.
The Moxicans report their loss during
ibis engagement at 420 killed and 130
w minded. The loss no the part of the
l'exians was 11 killed and 19 wounded.
gi eat disparity evinces the superior
skill ist the Texiatis iii the use of fi•earuns.
and the surrender of the invading army
alter co slight a loss, would lead a+ to sup
pose that they only surrendered after hav
ing exhausted their ammunition. 'the
•uecess of the Mexicans, after suffering so
severely, speaks favorably of their cour•
age and p. r-evera lice.
General A minutia returned to Mats
iroras on the 7th J anuary, slid was receiv
ed by the etizens with great rejoicings
.an.l applause. Ile brought with him '.212
Texians prisoners, including Colonels
Fisher and Green. The 'l'. xians were to
lease Miltillllol,B on the 15th instant. for
the city of Mexico, there to await their
destiny from the hands of Sant, Ana.—
Colonels Fisher and Green, and the pri
soners generally, acknowledge the treat
ment they received from Gen. Ampu ilia,
since the capitulation, to have been hu
mane and gentlemanly.
