Just battles his crossing hoof, and now
Broad followed creeks that, deep and clear,
Would whelm him to his a%ntlered brow ;
Here the smooth silver sleeps SO still
The ear might catch the ~faintest till,
The bees low hum-the whirr of wings,
And the sweet songs of grass-hid things.

And the woodpecker's ftful taps
Upon The hollow oak;
And, mingling with the insect hum,
The beatings of the partridge drum,
With now and then a crGak,
As, on his tapping wing, the crow
Ger passes, heavily and slow.
See, on this edge Of forest lawn,
Where sleeps the clouded beam,
A doe has left her spotted fawn
To gambol by the stream;
Beside yon mullein's braided stalk
They hear the gurgling voices talk;
While, like I wandering CLEAN,
The yPllow-bird dives hero and there,
A feathered vessel of the air.

Ally was not much distressed. To be
sure, it was the breaking up Of a long cher
ished dream, and the severer that this had
been the only dream she had ever dared to
cherish, but the poor girl had a holy resource,
and she did not repine. She went from the
door where each hope of her life had been
cruelty crushed, with a swelling heart and Il
f~dlloring step. Over HE stile across the
way, the little blue eyes of the spring-violets
were looking up lovingly from beds Of moss;
the freed streams were dancing gaily, flash
ing and sparkling in The sunlight; and on the
brown maple bough, where leaf buds were
swelling ready to burst with life, little bird,
the first Spring bird, carolled as blithely as
though it might bring Eden 10 a d%esoiate,
disappointed heart. Ally Fisher heard it, and
the Tears broke over their fringed boundaries
and fell in a sparkling shower upon her bo-
dice. Then she crossed the style and stream
and passed The trees till she found a solitary
mock away il the heart Of The wood and here
she hnclt and prayed. How strong was Ally
Fisher when she left the retreat! The arm
Of Him who is Almighty was about her.
Ally Fisher passed with quite as ligh. a
foot as usual over the dried leaves through
which The tender Spring blades were p%ecping,
and beyond the border Of the wood, till she
came in sight Of a beautiful central lake, on
the banks Of which the young green was
striving with the paid spoils of last years

she was too thoughtful TO be observing--but
as she emerged from the wood she saw a per-
son, probably a nurse, walking near the lake
with a little girl, who danced and prattled
and cIapped her tiny hands, now bounding
from the path now half hiding her little head
in the woman's dress, and then running fer
ward with all the guileless glee of a bird or
butterfly. Ally looked at her and felt the
warm tears creeping to her eyes. Why had
she never been thus happy? Ard why should

strange wondrcus interest, now when she

region two hundred miles long, and

Life on the Rio Grande.-In re-
turning upon the Ben Franklin, the
other evening, from a pleasant jaunt TO
Madison, Ia, we fell in with one OF
the recruiting officers lately sent out
from the Army of Occupation. We
learned his name to be Mcdonald
and as fair a specimen of an Ameri-
can officer as one would wish to meet
with. Small, but well built up, and
evidently active, he walked the decks
with the quiet ease of one who had
seen some service. We fell into con-
versation, and enjoyed two hours
talk with him about our brave fellows
in Mexico. He had been in the Flor
idr war, on the Rio Grande, and ta-
ken part in the battles of the 9Th and
9th.
at Isl great mistake he said, among
other things, "to assert, as the papers
do. that these Mexican soldiers are

know, with chapporal and prickly
pear, over which we had great difficult

Well, sir, the greater part of these
Mexicans had nothing on their feet but
sandals, with their legs bare; and how
they managed to march was wonder

would stand their ground like men,

can be moved; and you know, sir, very

Europe can be brought to stand that

"Yes, sir, on the 9th especially. In
