And rode a-hoIschack on best fathers knee;
Alike were sorrows, passions, and alarms,
And Gold, and Greek, and Love unknown to me
Then seemed to me this World far less in size,
Likewise it seemed to me less wicked far,
Like points in Heaven. saw the stars arise,
And longcd for wings that might catcha a star
I saw the moon behind the island fade,
And thought "Oh were on that island there

Find out how large it is. how round, how fair''

Sink in the oceans golden lap at night,
And yet. upon the morrow, carly rise,
And paint the eastern Heaven with crimson light
And thought OF God the gracious. Heavenly Fa

An AMERICAN PUMA, or, as it is called, III
American lion, was killed in Lewis county, N.
York, last week. The animal is very rare now
in the United States. The following descrp-

round head aud broad muzzle, and body m re
slender and less elevated than the lion. Tho

is nearly white and more completely so on the
throat chin and upper lip, the head of an irrcc.

Wealth OF the Mexican Mobiles.

The wealth of the mobiles of Mexico, previ-
Gus TO the revolution in that country, which
freed it from dependence on SPAN, was equal
to that enjoyed by many Of the Russian gran
decs. Many families have derived incomes Of
S200,000 per annum from lands alone. The
Count OF Nalcn,iana possessed landed property
Of the value of $50, ,0O0,0O0, besides which he
drew from single mine, an annual revenue of
nearly Sl,2O0,000 Their extravaganza was
as great as their wealth. The Count de Regia,
according TO Madame de la Barca, "was so
wealthy that when his sou, the present Count,
was chrisened, the whole party walked from
his house to the church upon ngots of silver.
The Countess having quarreIed with the Vice
QRcen sent her in reconciliation a white slip
ser, entirely covered with large diamonds. The
Count invited the king of Spain to visit Next
co. assuring him that the hools of h s Majcsty's
horse should touch nothing but solid silver from
Vera Cruz TO the capital. This ought TO be
bravado; but more certain proof OF his wealth
exists in the facts that he caused two ships OF
The line, OF the largest size, to be constmciedat
Havana, at his own expense, made of ma,,o-
gany and cedar, and presented TO the ning."
OF course ia the terrible convulsions of which
Mexico had been the scene, something has
been done in the way of breaking down these
wealthy families, but not so much as might be
expected by a person unacquainted with the
facts. Great inequalities mark the social condi-
tion of the Mexlcans. Bustamente, whose name
occurs SO often in the accounts of that country,
is possessed of 639,OO0 acres of land, and Santa
Anna is reputed to be very rich. What is cal
led agrarianism has no supporters in Mckee.

An INVENTION The Baltimore Sun says
ihat Mr.. James l.cggett, OF Ladiesburg, Fre-

working model of machine which is consider
ed by many to be the greatest discovery of the
age. 1t is the application OF the power Of the
screW to wheel machinery, whereby the gain
Of power is so great that, with screw weigh
ing from one to one and haftons, man would
be able to propel train of cars on a railroad
with as much force and ye.oci,y as is now at
tanned by the iocomotigc. 1t occupies but a
small snn"ce, an. can be applied to any kind Of

/ ties of age, together with pecuniary embarrass-
ments, he has been, thus far, unable TO have an
effective machine constructed, and his wish
now is 10 call public attention to the subject, in
the hope that some enlerprislng person may be
induced 10 embark in the matter.

WORMS! WORMS! woRMs!!!

OF all diseases to which children are exposed
none are SO fatal to them as worms. Unfortunately,
children are seldom free from them, and as they
initiate the symptoms Of almost every other COM

disease themselves, but by their irritation aggravae
all other diseases, wandering from part of the
body to another winding themselves into large balls
and obstructng the bowels, and frequently the throat

remedy ever yet known is
DR.. JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE,
which is perfectly safe, and SO pleasant that children

beneficial in Intermittent and Remittent Fevers In

for FEVER and AGUE.
1t not only destroys Worms and invgorates the
whole SYSTEM but it dissolves and carries off the SUI
perabundant slime or mucous prevalent in the
stomach and bowels of children, more especially OF
those in bad health. This mucous forms The bed or
