SANTA FEE Its LADIES AND SHOPS.

SANTA EE--llC LADIES AND SHOPS. i
A large square, comprising about three hun
|dred squares yards, is situated in the centre OF
the town Of Santa Fe. The row or houses on
one side is occupied entirely by the public Off
ces, the custom house, the afmory, and omar
ters for the military. The other three sides
are used for shops for the sale Of merchandise
brought from the United States, and are kent
by Americans. The houses are built Of CLAW.
and with very few exceptions are but one story
high. Shops are rented to traders in this
square, the best situation in the place, at from
ten to twenty dollars month The store
keepers, in dull times, sit at their doors all
day smoking cigars, cracking jokes with the
Spaniards, and peeping under the wells Of the
Senoras and Senoritas as they pass. The la

thrown over their heads. They wear no hat
or other covering for the head, but arc never
seen, in doors or in the street, without their

MATTHEW'S AND THE FRENCHMAN.

Among the many foreigners with whom Mr..
Mathews was intimate, was a Monsieur Pile,
who frequently visited US after our marriage.
Monsieur Pile, and his wife, a pretty English
woman, had been married several years, but.n
child had blessed the otherwise happy couple.
AT the time we became acquainted with them, IN
York, the lady had given promise, and in due
time, the critical period arrived which was to
complete their happiness, as they believed, by
a more powerful bond Of union. Onthe eve
ming, when this event was expected, and Mons
sieur Pile hoped to become a father, he invited
himselfto dinner with us, desiring to divert, If

THE WORTH or WOMAN |.


THE WORTH OF WOMAN.
FROM THE GERMAN OF SCHILLER.
Honored be woman! she beams on the sight,
Graceful and fair, like being cflight
Scatters around her, wherever she strays,
Roses Of bliss on our thorn covered ways;
Roses ofparadise, sent from above,
To be gather land twin'd ina garland oflove
Man, on oassion's stormy ocean,
Tossed by surges mountain high,
Courts the hurricanes commoiion,
Spurns at reasons feeble cry.
Loud the tempest roars around him,
Louder still ii roars within,
Flashing lights Of hope confound him,
Stuns him life's incessant din,
Woman invites him with bliss in her smile,
Tocease from his toll, and be happy while;
whispering woongly-come to my bower
Go not in search Of the phantom of power
Honor and wealth are ilusory--come
Happiness dwells in the temples Of Home.
Man with fury stern and savage,
Persecutes his brother man,
Reckless if he bless or ravage,
Action, action--stll his plan.
Now creating--now destroying;
L : 4
Ever seeking; ne'er enjoying;
Still to be; but never blest.
Woman, contentcd in silent repose,
Enjoys in its beauty liie's flower as it blows,
And waters and tends it with innocent he art;
Far richer than man with his treasures ofArt
And wiser by far in her circle confined,
Than with his science aud lights OF thon mind
Colby to himself sutficating,
Man disdains the gentler arts,
lit( Knoweih not the bliss arising
From the interchange ofhearts.
Slowly through his bosom stealing,
Flows the genial current on,
Till by ages frost congealing,
1t is hardened into stone
She, like tho harp, that instinctvely rings,
As the night-breathing zephyr soft signs OF
the strings,
Responds to each impulse with steady reply,
Whether sorrow or pleasure her sympathy
try;
Andtear drops and smiles on her count'nanc'
play,
Like sunshine aud showers Of morning in
Maya
Through tho range Of mans dominion
Terror is the ruling word
Aud the standard Of opinion
Is the temper Of the sword.
Strife exults, and Pity blushing,
From the scene departing flies,
Where,to battle madly rushing
Brother upon brother dies.
Woman commands with a milder control
She rules by enchantmcnt the realms OF Il

Asshe glances around in the light of h
smile,
The war ofthc Passions is hushed for Will
And dlscord, content from his fury to ceas'
Heposes entranced on the pillows Of peace
