BALM OF COLUMBIA.

Long hair is glory to woman says Paul,
And all feel the truth of the pous quotation.
Preserve it then, ladies-your glory may fall,
Unless you protect it with this preparation
A man has right to go bald-ano 50 has
woman to go barefoot: and one looks about as
respectable as the other Now if you wish to
stay bald, or get so you are not, then donot
use the Balm of Columbia, for we do know
that if you do use the true from 81 Cortlandt
st. with the signature of Coustock & Co. on
it. you cannot lose your hair unless your wife
pulls it out. the Balm will make it grow again.

had it restored.-N. Y. Express. ...-

DEFEAT OF SANTA ANA.

Santa Ana, defeated in four engage
ments, is now powerless in Mexico
The detailed intelligence states that
he was repulsed from the walls Of Pu-
ebla four times, with terrible loss in
each engagement. The whole coun-
Try was in arms against him, while Bra
70 and Peredes were close on his rear,
with overwhelming forces; and his ar
my, alarmed at the approaching expe-
ration of the term allowed to them and
him, within which to give in their sub
mission to the constitutional govern
ment, or be declared outlaws, had no
alternative but submission, after their
defeats at Pueba. On the 10th, Gen.
Inclan says Santa Ana's officers and
men were entering the city of Puebla in
scores, givingup their arms and decla-
ring for the constitutional government.
Deserted by his tried men, and with
out any prospect Of success, Santa Ana
tA~ew himself upon the mercy of the
gre ltstities.
We notice in our files a proclama-
ton from the commandant of Vera
Cruz to the people, issued on the 18th
ofJanuary. Looking for rejoicing a
mong them at the news of Santa Ana's
submission, the commandant urges
moderation be temperate in their
ioy--to stand by their arms, and be
ready at moments warning to defend
their homes and their firesides. Mar
tial law governed the city.
1t is probable that Santa Ana will
attempt to make his way to the Brit
ish vessel in waiting for him at Sacri-
6cios, Just below Vera Cruz; but it is
hardly possible for him TO succeed
It's statedhe is immensely rich, having,
as is positively known, more then
twelve millions Of dollars in England.

THE PoET ARIosTo.-A curious anec-
dOte is related of this poet TO show how
impenetIable he was to all exhOrtatiOns on
the subject of his Indifference to legal stu
dies and how alive TO his chosen pursuits.
1t happened one day, that NicOlo, was
more than usually severe in expressing
himself regarding the indifference and idle
ness of which he was guilty. The young
poet seemed to listen attentively but made
no attempt at defence, until his father went
out Of the room, and his brother Gabriel
renewed the attack. On this, the accused
commenced a serious argument Onthe points

MORAL COSMETICS.

Ye who would save your features fiOrid,
1.-the limbs, bright eyes, unwrinkEed fore
head,
From ages devastation hOrrid;
Adopt this plan
Twill make in climate cold and toTrid,
A hale cid man.
Avoid in youth, luxuriant diet;
Restrain the passions lawless riot;
Devoted to domestic quiet
Be wisely gay;
So shall ye, spite Of ages fiat,
Resist decay.
Seek not in Mammon's worship pleasure,
But find your richest, dearest treasure,
In books, friends, music, polished leisure
The mind, not nonsense,
Make the sole scale by which ye measure
Your oPulence.
Thisis the solace-this the science,
LIES purest, sweetest, best appliance,
That disappOints not mans reliance.

CONSTANCY.

All, no! cannot say FAREWELL"
It'd pierce my bosom through,
And to this heart 'twere deaths dread knel
To hear thee sigh "ADIEU."
Though soul and body both must part,
Yet ne'er from thee III sever,
Far more to me than soul thou art,
For, oh I'll quit thee never.
One home one earth, shall be ours still
And one our daily fare,
One altar, too, where we may kneel
And breathe our humble prayer.
This bosom shall thy pillow be,
And tear for tear I'll shed for thee,
But, oh, forsake thee never.
And when that solemn hour shall come
That sees thee breathe thy last,
That hour shall also seal my doom
And close mine eyelids fast
One grave shall hold US side by side,
One shroud our clay shall cover,
As one our souls shall mount and glide
Through reams of bliss forever.

AN EXAMPLE FOR ALL DEMO-
Gratis.

II will be rememberad, that at the late
election in Alabama, Nathaniel Terry, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, was de.
feated by J. l.. Martin, an independent
democrat. This was, Of course, calculated
to excite bad blood between the different
sections Of the party, which had hitherto
always moved forward in unbrOken har-
mOny Under the unpleasant feeling pro-
duced by unexpected defeat, the friends Of
Terry in the strongly democratic county Of
Limestone, invited MIN 10 a public dinner
-as a testimony Of regard from his friends
and neighbors, for his republican principles,
his unwavering adherence TO those princi,
ples, and his many domestic virtues. Fear.
ing, and most wisely too, that the public
demonstration would tend to widen the
breach Of association, already so unforu-
nalely produced most Justly conceIv-
ing that the efforts Of all tue democrats
should be exerted to heal the dissentiOns
and soften the asperites, Mr.. Terry, in
respectful language, rnOSt honorable 10 him,
declined The preferred honors. Such sa-
crlfce Of selfish and personal feelings makes
his conduct worthy OF the highest praise.
With patriotism and devotion 10 principle
above every thing else, he not only fore
goes the temptation which is held out to
him to gratIy his feelings, and enjoy the

every thing to principle, and to march on

RAISING THE WIND.-A good story is

was obtained, which was drawn across one
end of the apartment where the show was
to come off, and the time have arrived, one
of the worthy pair performed the part of
door keeper and receiver-general, while
his companion in sin was busy behind the
screen (Which was so arranged as to pre-
vent discoveries where he kept up an in

the company were entering and being sea-

the show to commence, the doOr-keeper left
his post, and marching across the hall,
which was crowded with men, women and
children, he disappeared behind the curtain.
