from Beyrout, with three steamers under com

before the general attack made, which we com

they returning two for one They fell around us like
hail but strange to say, not shot struck us; our
bombardment was not very successful more than
half the shells burst before they reached the shore
owing to the fuses being badly bored; all the shells
from the steamers failed alike, circumstance not very
credltabe to those who made them, and sadly disap

THE ART OF BOOK KEEPING.
How hard, when those who do not wish

They thus complete their set at home,
BY making one at you.

They are gone to the happy hunting grounds
They are gone and they are besi
Strong in the battle fleet in the chase,
And wise when the old men met
Their spirits dwell in the pleasant place,
But their sons remember yet.
