IVM v J -ww ( Be to the sad grave borne ! i Let but otic faithful heart, Over me mourn. Plant not near my lone tomb, The mournful Cypress tree, Let not a shade ol gloom Wave over me.

Like the metiors flash, As onward they dash Swift thro' the sky, And e're we can see. What they may be, In darkness die: Such is man's life, With sorrow most rife, His race is soon run ; And scarce e're we know. His place here below, His gaol too is won. O'er man in his grave, Earth's storms may rave, They disturb not his sleep ; But cold as the stone, That tells he is gone, His silence is endless and deep. Since life then is so brief, And filled up with grief, Why should we stay : And linger on here, Year after year, When Heaven invites us away? Oh! let us then live, That each may give, Of his stewardship here ; An account to secure, A seat with the pure, In Heaven's own sphere. Santa Fe.?This having become a place of interest in the public eye, since Gen. Kearney's expedition to it, we extract from Mr. Gregg's " Commerce of the Prairies" a description of the town and its neighborhood. Mr. Gregg made several trading expeditons from Missouri to Santa Fe, and became well acquainted with the place, as well as with the intermediate country. " Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico, is the otVy town of any importance in the province. We sometimes find it written Santa Fe de San Francisco, (Holy Faith of St. Francis,) the latter being the patron or tutelary saint. Like most of the towns in this section of country, it occupies the site of an ancient Pueblo or Indian village, whose race has hpftn ovlincl fnr n m-oni ? _ *v? t? vuv iiidiiy yuaio. Its situation is 12 or 15 miles east of the Rio del Norte, at the Western base of a snow clad mountain, upon a beautiiul stream of small mill power size, which ripples down in icy cascades, and joins the river some 20 miles to the suoth westward. The population of the city itself but little exceeds three thousand : yet, including several surrounding villages which are embraced in its corporate jurisdiction, it amounts to near six thousand sou Is. " The town is very irregular laid out, and most of the streets are little better than common high-ways, traversing scattered settlements. whi/?w oro I spersed with corn fields nearly sufficient to supply the inLabitanis with grain The only attempt at any thing like architectural compactness and precision consists in four tiers of buildings, whose fronts are shaded with a fringe of portales or corredores of the rudest possible description. They stand around the public square*, and comprise the Governor's house, the custom house, the barracks, the Casa Consistorial of the Alcaldes, 1 .1. - .:?? - 1 * me military cnapei, besides several private residences, as well as most of the shops of the American traders. <!,The population of New Mexico is almost exclusively confined to towns and villages, the suburbs of which are generally farms. Even most of the in-' dividual ranchos and haciendas hav? grown into villages?a result almost in, dispensable for protection against the marauding savages of the surrounding wilderness."
