WANT OF COURTESY, A FAULT IN A
MEXICAN WOMEN.

Miss Sedgwck notices this remarkable trait,
position aud manners of her countrywomen.
In one of her late pro 'uctions, Me ns ana Ends,
she makes the following observation. The most
striking and prevailing defect in the manners
of the Americans, is | believe, want of cour-
iesy. This has probably arisen from the gener>
nj +luali'y Of rights, condition and education.
And II arises in part from that mauvaise honte
or shyness, characteristic of our English ances-
tor from whom we inherit it. A little rehec-
ton and moral cultivation would soon remedy
this defect. What do mean by courtesy, and
how is The want of it shown, do you rskll A
few winters since well bred young foreigner
came TO the interior, and took lodgeings at will
age inn, for the purpose of learning the English
language. To facilitate its acquisition, he gen.
orally preferred remaining in the receiving room
onhe tavern, where travellers wentln & out. His
writing table was placed before the fire. When
the women came shverng in from a long drea
ry drive in the stage coach, he moved his table
to the coolest corner of the room mended, the
fire, drew chairs near it, and if they brought in
foot stoves or blocks he found the best place to
heat them. He then returned to his own un-
comfortable seat, and pursued his writing or
reading.
The woman profted by his civilities, with
out appearing to notice them. During the
whole winter he never received one word of
acknowledge ono Thank you, sir, ;
you are very kind sir, or what would have
seemed inevitable. pray don't take that cold
seat, SIR What was the polished stranger S
Inference Certainly, that the Americans were
most discour,eous, if not cold hearted peo-
pie.
Cold hearted we are not. These women
were probably generally impressed with the
young mans attentions one of them, know,
in relating her travelling at her own fireside at
night, said she never shoul forget young
man at the tavern in s She thought she
should have died with the cold before she 20,

from the fire, and gave her the rocking chair

warmed her block for her, and did every thing
Just as if he had been her own son I And yet

WAKE SNAKSl A Texas Story, ...Tt

WAKE SNAKS | A Texas Story.--.The
Cavestonian gives quite an affecting account Of
a tragic incident of recent occurrence in that
vicinity. .->cty we were about to say, but alGga-
tors do not come up into the "EmPorium," we
believe. The owner of 6ne SOW, and re.
sponsibiIiles, was alarmed at her absence, and
undertook to hunt her up. He was attracted to
a jungle by some noise, when he discovered old
madam sow attacking an alligator with her
snout. and attempting TO turn him over, the on-
y exertion that the eligator made, was to make
an occasional sweep.with his tail, which kept
off the sow, while he was gobbling up flour
shing litter of pigs. The owner of the sow,
after watching the sport for some time. put a ri
Ae ball through the alligator's head, witch caus
ed him to keel over, when the sow. attacked him
with much fury, ripping him from stem to stern.
On disseciing the monster. six innocent and vir
tuOus little pigs were found entombed in his ca>
pacous stomach.

From the Ocean.
OUR FLAG Is THERE,

BY J. H. HEWITT.
Where spicy winds kiss eastern shores,
And fervid sun5eams glare,
Where mighty Ganges onward roars-
Our rfagis there
Where Hacla Lelches out its fires
Upon the trembling air,
And tinges ranks of icy spires
Our flag is there
Lol where the oceans wave
Drinks in the Lightening's glare,
And mocks the thunder-bolts that rave
Our flag is therel
8 Look north and south, and east and west
its stripes float onsthe air,
Reflected from the waters breast
Our flag is there!
Where booming cannon tell the world
What periLs lreemen dare,
What gallant sigh is that unflrled
Our flag is there
Where states are bound in union strong,
Aud glad songs fill the air,
The land by Freedom cherished long
Our flag is there

TOMB OF WASHINGTON.
A PROPHECY.


Down the vista of thousand years.
Behold the Pilgrim Bands from every cline,
Advance in solemn silence! and their tears,
Battle his sarcophagus throughout all time.
E1tatc tears cen such as angels know,
When their own harpsirings thrill through
werlds on high;
Where glory beams in one eternal glow,
And soiaphim on gold tinged Pinions fly.
From fhrthest Don the savageCossacs comel
Reverse their spears, and pause in musings
strange,
Moslcm and Hindoo crowd around his
tomb,
From Istamboul and India's widest range.
The fair Circassian, blooming as the rose,
Shall from her brow remove tie silken veil,
TO knee in beauty where his ones repose,
And her soft sighs shall mlngle with thegale.
The proud CastiIian, with his fiery glance,
Shall bow in homage, to his peerless namel
The fierce Mamlouk, shall drop his polish
ed lance,
And quail, before the splendor ofhis fame
From the far regions Of the frozen north,
Iceland and Greenland take their tomb.
ward ways
And warriors red, from forests sally forth,
TO swell! the universal shout of Praise.
(owr
Happiest that land who calls his fame he
Who claim hims as Father, Brother, Son

throne,

ANOTHER.-It is natural that old age should
be indifferent and forgetful. As the hour-gtass
of life runs out, the upper part becomes more
and more empty, and thoughts are fixed on the
heap below, which is the grave. In advanced
life, we live as it were under the pole, where
no star rises and none sete, and the polar-star OF
the world to come shines Steadtastly over our
head.

THE JEWS AT DAMASCUS. The ".

in Turkey and Egypt the result Of which will
be complete amelioration iuthe condition Of

And now, we ask, has this been the result Of
mere accident -of mere friendly and humane
