We don't know any place where the true
spirit of Irish music, tender and mournful as in
the Lament of an Orphan Girl, is more ade.
quately expressed in words, than in this song
In that respect, at least, it is quite perfect.
OH! MY BIRD.-FRoM THE IRISH.
Air-s' The cuinn..
Oh my bird of the white breast, and soft.
swelling form,
Thou cans't not cling near amidst the wild
storm
Thy sweet voice of music would falter and die,
Meath the darkness and cold cf the sad winter
sky.
The bright futtering plames thou art used TO
unfold.
Mid fair summer flowers and warm skies of
gold.
Would fall meath the drenchng rain shatter'd
and torn
Tho my fond circling arms should not leave
thee forlorn.
Oh! the place Of our rest, was it not calm and
And now by the spoilers dark hand ts laid
No more shall we rove in the hazel shades
green.
Where the strawberry buds in their beauty are
seen.
Far from me thou must wander, until the mild
spring,
Shall budding blossoms and gentle airs
bring;
Thou cans't not be near me, oh lov'd as thou
art,
Tho my nest shall be warm in the depths Of my
heart.

PAPA! WHAT is "THE SAXON"
The tyrant that came DER the sea, my child,
To fetter the fearless and free, my child
Whose murderous band
Spread woe through our land,
Leaving sorrow and serfship for thee my child
In the hour Of trial our bane, my child
He came, and as yet doth remain, my child,
Ha j! the God hound before
Tapped full of our gore,
And he growls for the blood-g gorge again, my
child
But the millions. divided so long, my child.
Now fierce in the hatred of wrong, my child,
With front TO the foe,
Are eager to show
The deeds Of the valiant and strong my child !!
Come tyrany's wrath when it may, my child,
We've chief whom we trust and obey, nv child
Let the contest assume
Or glory or gloom,
Thy sire shall be first in the fray, my child.

HOW TO GET RICH.

IT'S the simplest thing in the world, il
any one only has a mind TO pay the price
demanded for il; as the following, from
the Portland Bulletin, will prove 10 you
When you purchase an article, no mat
ter what hat, pair Of shoes, barrel Of
-four or a book, look with confoundod
surprise at the seller, as much as TO say,
is it possible that you can put on a face
TO ask so much. Think a moment, or
appear to, and offer from 10 to II per
cent less, remarking that you can pur-
chase the same, you know where, for so
much less. IL you cannot get the article
at your price, by beating down and lying
half an hour, you can at least Get off a
few cents. SO much will be gained.
II you wish to hire a horse to carry
your mother and sweetheart TO ride, offer
half its worth, and make the stable keeper
take his pay out of your shop, and be sure
and charge fifty per cent. higher than
your usual charge.
When you have returned, make your
mother and your female friend, pay for
halflhe horse-hire, aud for all the eatables
to boot.
When you sell small articles, bite one
in two to make the weight, so ss not to
give the purchaser a ay's weight more
than he paid for.
Befriehd nobody. Never lend a four
pence even to your sick brother. Screw
down upon every body you can, even to
the lowest mill when you make purcha-
ses, never spend dollar that will not WELD
fouhold; keep at IL; work and dig from
daylight I'LL dark. Spend nothing for
pleasure or amusement, and YOU will grow
rich. There is no mistake about IT, Gras-
ping riches aud buried gold, how conSo-
ling must be the whisper IN your ear
aThis night thy soul Is required Of thee"
How true will be the language Of the
poet IN your case,
as,arved in this world, and DAMNED IN that 10
comel"

Texas sALT.--The Houston Telegraph
says that the section of country lying west
OF the NueceS, bordering on the seacoast is
lntersected by numerous shallow inlets
and bays, into which the salt water of the
Gulffiows during winter, but in summer,
owing to intense solar evaporation, they
become dry, and are covered with crust
ofSa!t three or four inches thick, equal in
every respect to Turks Island, which is the
best for preserving meat and fish. The
dry climate ofwestern Texas-ran seldom
falling in the summer monthS-makes the
process of evaporation exceedingly rapid
and millions of bushels may be procured
for the mere trouble of collecting it.

l wish my home were far away
In some sweet summer isle;
Where flowers are ever poisoning
And suns forever smile.
Where ever bright the vineyards are,
And ever green the trees,
And music floats forever
On the pinions of the breeze
While every passing hour my gaze
New loveiness may trace,
And-beaming brightness over all
My Ellen's sunny face.
l wish my home were far away
Amid the citron bowers,
Wheresups the blue.winged butterfly
On sweet pomegranate flowers.
Where waves the lofty cedar,
And the olive brightly glows,
And Ger each joyous fountain bends
The myrtle and the rose.
There, while the bee of Palestine
His luscious draught would sip,
I'd find nectar sweeler far
On Ellen's dewy lip
When lip TO lip the flowers joined
To kiss the evening air,
Shed walk the fields with me, and read
Loves silent language there.
Then should the nightingale for her
His sweetest anthem sing,
Aud roses meekIy DER her path
Their dewy leaflets fling
There, while the glory of,he night
Was glowing in the skies,
I'd turn and watch the purer light
OfEllen's starry eyes.
| wish my Ellen were with me
In such scene as this
Whose deep still voice would echo back
Our spirits song Of bliss.
Ou years would flow so peacefully,
So guarded from alloy,
That not a ripple would disturb
The ocean OF our JOY
And when in death the angels came
And called me to depart,
My soul would turn from them, to rest
In Ellen's gentle heart.

Al you that are too fond OF wine,

Take warning by the disma! late

A sober man he might have been,
Except in one regard
He did not like soft water,
So he took to drinking hard
Said he, let others fancy slops,
And talk IN praise Of tea
But | am no Bohemian,
So do not like Bohea.
II wines poison, so is tea,

What matter whether one is killed

Did he indulgllkN drouth,
And being fond Of port, he made

examining the case pronounced it fever,
and prescribed accordingly. But his pre-
scriptions afforded no relief and his pa
tient died. While laying out the body,
an earwig was seen issuing from one of
her ears, and it is said it passed from one
ear TO the other, entirely through the
head. This is impossible Nevertheless,
the presence of an insect in the ear may be
highly dangerous. BY dropping spoon

will be destroyed.

The ENGLISH Pass ON THE VALUE
OF REPUBLICAN INsTITUTIoNs.--The
London Weekly despatch of the 31st ult,
after comparing our reasons for going TO
war with Mexico TO those assigned by tho
wolf for going to war with the lamb, goes
on to remark as follows:
ave may differ as TO the cause Of the war
but that 90 600 citizens should be ready
at once TO advance to the frontier at the
peril of life and to the abandonment Of all
other occupations, in cause which they
at all events hold to be Just, is a proof of
the tremendous strength and value of pop
ular institutions, & an obvious example for
the right means of preserving a national
security. The number of volunteers was
expected far TO exceed the limit voted.
Mexico will ultimately be no match for its
foe, either by sea or land, and it is therefore
consolatory that President Polk should
declare that be will always be readyto offer
or accept terms of peace.
NAPoLEoN's HEART.-After the death
of Napoleon, his heart was taken out by
an English physician, to be embalmed.
This physician laid the heart in a large
silver dish, and pound cold water over it.
He then placed burning wax taper on
each side of the dish, which was in the
middle of table, and went to bed in the
same loom but having Of course become
excited by this singular employment, he
had no sound sleep. While lying in a
half dreaming state, he was completely
aroused by flashing ia the silver dish.
a shudder passed over him. He knew
not what to think Of the singular occur
renee, and remained perfectly STILL But
in a moment more he heard a fall, and
starting up, discovered the cause Of his
alarm or surprise. A monStrous rat had
drawn the heart from the dish to the floor,
and when the doctor reached the spot, be
was in the very act Of dragging il % his
hole. In another moment, that heart, for
which half the globe was too narrow,
would have become the supper Of a com
mon rat.
