THAT'S A LIE--THAT'S A LIE.
Riches will serve for titles too
That's true-that's true
Ano they love most who ofenest sigh
That's lic--that's a lie!
That crowns give virtue-power gives wit,
That follies well on proud ones sit;
That poor mems slips deserve a halter
Ihiie honors crown the great deftulter;
That 'noin,ed kings no wrong can do,
NO right, such worms as aud you
That's truc-that's truei
10 say n dull and sleepy warden
Can guard d many-portal'd garden;
mat woes which darken many day,
one moments smile can charm away;
To say you think that Ceia's eve
speaks aught bat trick and treachery--
That's lie--that's a lie,
That VISIONS bought and virtue sold;
And that you can provide, with gold,
For court a garter or a star,
Aud valor fit for peace on war;
And purchase knowledge at.the L.
University, for p. Il q
That's true that's true!
They must be gagged WIN 80 to court,
Ana bless, besides, the Jaeger fort;
Ihat rank-less mast he scnurg'd, an;; thank
lhe scourgers when they re men of rank;
The humble, poor mans form ami hue
Deserve both shame and suifrrin. too
That's true--that's true!
But wond'rous tavoms TO be done,
And glorious prizes to be won;
And downy pillows for our head,
And thorniesss roses for our bed;
In monarch's words--to trust aud try,
Aud risk your honor on the die
That's lie-th7t's lie!
That he who in the courts of law
Defends his person, or estate,
Should have a privilege to draw
ION the mighty river Plates
Ana, spite of all that he can do,
lie will be pluckd and LAUGHED at too
That's true--that's true
To sow OF pure AMI honest seeds,
Ana gather nohsht bat waste an weeds;
Aud to pretend our care aud toll
Had well prepared the unsrat.ful soil,
Aud then On righteous Heaven ID cry.
AS twere unjust!--and ask it WHY?
That's lie--thal's lie.

at was late III the evening when we arrived at
Caregado, and the town was already filled with
our troops, principally artillery and cavalry
The houses and stables were all occupied, aud
into these last some of our officers and men with
great difficulty got admission. BY far the great
proportion of us, however. passed this dark
and drcary night in the open streets. In a town
which had been for weeks deserted BY its
habitants, and SO lately evacuated by an enemy,
rs may readily be supposed, there was no want
of dry fuel and made large fires without
being very scrupulous in the choice of wood
old plank, palings, doors and window shutters
were consumed, with very little hesitation.
Many of us sent TO borrow chairs from those
houses already occupied, and sat loungpg
round our fires till day break. The scene was
altogether divcrting: we had no cooking, for the
baggage was not up. and there was of course
nothing TO be had I'm an empty town. little
biscuit and a draught of country wine from Il
soldiers WOODEN canteen was my supper: and ]
leaned back in a chair my corporal had got for
me, all cushioned with blue ,la,nask and orna-
ncnted with gliding, and attempted, but in vain,
to sleep. The continued rain kept my shoulders
wet and chilly, while the blazing fire scorche,l
my legs, so that it was impossible to preserve
the same posture for five mnutcs.--At length
day came; the cavalry and artillery moved, and
IN a few minutes thought myself highly fprtu-
nate To get into Il room with four othcr.--a room
which had once, perhaps, been handsome AMI
comfortable, but had then neither furniture,
doors, nor cascments.n
