"TO ARMS!"


BY PARK BENJAMIN.
Awake! arse ye men Of might!
The glorious hour Is nigh
Your eagle pauses in his flight,
And screams his hattle-cry!
From North TO South. from East to West,
Send back an answering cheer,
And say farewell to peace and rest,
And Danish doubt and fear!
Arm arm! your country bids you arm!
Fling out your banner free
Let drum and trumpet sound alarm,
Der mountain, plain, and sea.
March onward from the Atlantic's shore
To Rio Grande's tide
Fight as your fathers fought Of yore!
Die as your brothers died!
Go! vindicate your country'S fame
Avenge your country's wrong!
The sons should own deathless name,
To whom such sires belong.
The kindred Of the noble dead
As noble deeds should dare;
The fields whereon their blood was shed
A deeper stain must wear.
To arms! to arms! ye men of might!
Away from home, away!
The first and foremost in the fight
Are sure to win the day!

FLAG OF MY Country! view with emotion
Thy stars and thy stripes so gloriousy unfurl'd,
And think that they speak, in their tremulous mo-

A soft melting language addressed to the world
The banner of freedom-how proud is its bearing
The gems Of the sky il is brightly displaying,
To tell to the nations her sons, all so daring.
Their trust and their cause on Jehovah are lay
ing.
Andlo tits stripes, Oh, how sweetly appearing,
All mingng in beauty, though DIFFERING,
UNITED,
To show that Columbia, IN "UNIoN" endearng
Is rising to glory by Heav'n invited
All, who can behold it-ah, who that has feeling
Can gaze on the charms that that banner is show

And not feel his bosom transport revealing,
His pulse all SO wildly with LIBERTY glowing !?
All, who that has seen it high waving IN battle,
But felt that its accents, though silently spoken,
Had promis'd success mid the cannon's loud rattle.
And futter'd still sweetly bright LIBERTY'S
TOKEN.
Yes, who that has watch'd it, on battlefield dying
As victors around it with triumph have crowded,
But bade it adieu, though in groans and in signing
And wished in its folds to be gloriously shrouded? /?
Still, still has it magic, as .ocsins are sounding,
AS Uar with its accents comes stronger and

And waves as if waved by the spirit aboundng
That met and that conquered Of old the intruder.
Still, still shall each freeman with rapture behold it.,
And find in its language, so deeply alluring,
As Fate u'er the red field Of strife broad unfods it,
A pure, hallow'd courage,t death still enduring

How TO BE ALWAYS EASY; OR THE
RIGHT USE OF THE EYEs.--An Italian
Bishop struggled through great difficult
ties without repining, and met with
much opposition in the discharge of his
Episcopal function, without even be-
traying the least impalience. An init.
mate friend Of his who admired those
virtues which lie thought it impossible
to initiate, one day asked the preate if
he could communicate the secret of his
being always easy. "Yes," replied
the old man, I" can teach you my Sc
cret, and with great facility; it consists
in nothing more than making right
use of my eyes" His friend urged
hin to explain himself. "Most will
lingly," returned the bishop: Z" in what
ever state am, first Of all look up to
heaven, and remember that my princi-
pal business here is to prepare for my
Journey there; ! then look down upon
the earth, and call 10 mind how small
space | shall occupy in it when | come
to be inferred; ] then look abroad upon
the world; and observe what multitudes
there are who in all respects, are more
unhappy than myself. Thus | learn
where true happiness is placed, where
all our cares must end, and how very
little reason have to repine, or com
plain"

The RANc HERos OF MEXICO. The
Rancheros, part of the mater,el Of the
Mexican army, are half Indian and half
Spanish in theil extraction; gaunt, shiv-
elled, though muscular in their frames,
and dark and swarthy visaged as they
are, these men are the Arabs of the
American continent. Living half OF
the time in the saddle, for they are un-
rivalled horsemen, with lasso in hand
they traverse the vast plains in search
of the buffalo and wild horse. The
killing of these animals, and the prepa-
ration and sale of their hides, are their
sole means of livelihood. Their cos
tune generally consists Of pair Of
tough hide leggins, with sandals of the
same material, bound together with
lea,hern thongs, over which is blan.
ket with a hole in the centre large
enough to allow the head to be thrust
out, and which falls not ungraceiully
over the shoulders, leaving ample room
for the play Of their arms. Add to this
broad straw SOmbrero, and the lasso
hanging ready for use in his grdle, and
you have the Ranchero as he appears
in the time Of peace. Join TO this a
long lance with sharp spear head, and
his belt plentifully with pistols and
knives, and you have the Ranchero as
a member of a troop of banditti, or as a
soldier in body of cavalry. Their
power Of enduring fatigue is almost in
exhaustible. and a scanty meal per day
of jerked beef and plantain, suflices
them during months. Those are the
men who comprise the great body oI
the Mexican cavalry, and they are TO
the armies of that nation what the Cos.
sacks are to the Russians--ever on the
alert, never to be surprised, and untr.
ing in the pursuit of the foe, when
plunder, no matter how trifling. is to be
blaiued.--Phlla. Ledger.

The cases were principally diarrhee

The cases were principally diarrhee
occasioned by the bad quality OF the
food, and four or five Of intermittent
fever; all Of which, yielded readily to
medical treatment. The man who d.
ed was in bad health when he left Ohio,
and his motive in volunteering for Tex
as, was the expectation Of being bene-
flied by the climate. His disease, 1t
appeared, was a confirmed liver CON-
plant, and he never was able to march
after we landed. What might have
been the result, with proper medical
treatment, wholesome food, and good
nursing, am unable to say.
am clearly Of opinion, that, in a
well regulated camp, with good pro-
visions, and competent medical staff,
a northern man may enjoy as good
health there as in Ohio. Our Camp
arrangements, in 1886, were dependent
rather on private patriotism than on
governmental regulations; and, as a
matter of course; they were not very
systematic. Such is not the case in
Gen. Taylor's camp, at this time
There, every thing, necessary to health
and comfort, is provided. The weather
is but little warmer than it is here, just
now; and, with temperance in eating
and drinking, as good health may be
enjoyed there as in any other part Of
the world. For my own part, was
never in better health in my life, than
during the summer Of 1896.
Very respectfully, yours, &c.

cure in its victorious career,
DAYTON, Feb. llth, 1s45.
Mr.. J. w. Whitmore-Dear Sir--As you are the
regular authorized agent in Dayton, for the sale of
DIR. Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry take this
method of making asatement of facts to you( (Which
hope will be published TO the word,) in refer
enCe to an almost miraculous cure wrought in my
case by means of the most invaluable Balsam.
Language fails to describe the salutary effects ii
produced, and the great benefit derived from its
use.
The citizens of Dayton and vicinity, well recol-
lect that on the Sh of August last, received Sc
rious injury from the explosion of cannon A
portion of its contents entered my right side and
breast; and in all probability some fragments or
and pierced the lungs.
After the lapse Of about SIX weeks,l was attacked
with distressing cough and violent pain in my
right side. Some ten days after this, when in a
paroxysm of coughing, suddenly an ulcer broke
aud large quantity OF very offensive matter mix
ed With blood, was discharged of which found
passage through the opening of the wound. From
this opening there frequently passed quantity of
air, supposed to issue from the lungs. During all
this time my sufferings were almost intolerable.
| Nv physicians meanwhile, paid the strictest at
tenton to me- and did all in their power for my
recovery But with all their skill, they could not
reach the seat of distress, after the lungs had be-
come affected. l was visited during this time, by
at lie ast twenty physicians.
| 1t was now reduced to certainty, that infiam-
nation of the lungs was rapidly taking place; and
| that this would terminate my life in very short
time, was in the highest degree probable.
AT this crtica stage "a messenger was despatched
to Cincinnati and celebrated physician of that ci.
ty was consulted. When he was made acquainted
with nv situation, he remarked that nothing could
be done by medical aid, if the constitution itself
was not enough to throw off the disease
NV friends now dispaired of nv recovery and
had no earthly ground of hope to survive many
days Fortunately at this juncture saw one of DR.,
Wistar's Pamphlets, entitled Family Medical
Guide, or Treatise on consumption of the Lungs.
As | had often heard of dying men catching at
straws, felt like doing so myself By the consent
of nv physicians, | sent to you for bcttleof the
medicine described, viz: sWistar's Baisam OF Wild
Cherry: which relieved me Immediately. After
had used some FIVE or six bottles so far recovered
as TO be ND and about MY cough ceased and my
lungs were restored to ahealthy state--all from the
healing and balmy influence, and powerful medi.
cianl virtues of Wlstar's Balsam.
Were il not from the external injury received
in INV shoulder and arm, by the explosion, | feel
confident that might have been working al my

SUMMER CAMPAIGN.
We have lately heard strong objec-
tions urged against men, from this State,
volunteering for the services in Texas
and Mexico, in the summer season, on
account of the alleged injurious effects
of the climate on northern constllu-
tions. Knowing that Gen. Allen, who
is now in Canton, had made cam
paIgn in Texas, in the summer season,
ten ears ago; and believing that his
testimony would have great weight, in
matter. which, in the present state
of things, is SO important. we address
sed him on the subject, and recei, ed
from him prompt reply. Consider
ing the information, contained in Gen.
Aliens note, as being worthy of public
attention, we requested and obtained
his consent to make it public. 1t is
herewith published; and we ask for it,
from our readers, especially our mill,
tary readers, an attentive considera-
tion:
