we nave given our readers several
specimens of the talent of Mexicans in
the way of diplomacy. How they fight
is already known-and, by the way, oul
opinion of them in that respect has i'm
proved wonderfully. Below we pub
lish poem written by a Mexican poe
at Vera Cruz. 1t was translated for tho
Columbian, New York Magazine
and possesses very considerable poetic
talent:
"RIO BRAVO.:'
y MEXICAN LAMENT.
Rio Bravo! Rio Bravo
Saw men ever such a iight2
Since the field of Ronccsvalles
Sealed the fate of many Il knight!
Dark Is Palo Altos story,
Sad Resaca Palma's rout;
On those fatal fields so CORY,
Many gallant life went out.
There our best and bravcst lances
Shivcred 'gainst the Northern steel.
Left the valiant hearts that couchct
them
Meath the Northern chargers heel
Rio Bravo. Rio Bravo!
Minstrel meier knew such sight,
Since tn field Of Ronccsvalles
Sealed the fate Of many knight.
Rio Bravo, fatal liver.
Saw We not while red with gore.
Torrcjohn all headlcss quivcr,
A ghastly trunk upon thy shorc2
Heard We not wounded courscrs
Shrieking on your tramplcd banks
AS the Northern wing'd artillery
Thundcrcd on our shattered ranks.
There Arista, best and bravcst
There Raguena, tried and true,
On the fatal field thou lavest,
Nobly did all man could do.
Vainly there these heroes rally,
CASTLE on Montezuma's shore,
"Rio Bravo" RoncesvaIles,"
Ye are names blcnt evermorc.
Weepes thou lone lady Incz,
For thy lover mid the slain,
Brave La Vegas trenchant fafchion
Cleft his slayer to the brain.
Brave La Vega who all lonely,
BY host of foes besct,
Yielding up his sabre only
When his equal there he met.
Other champions not less noted,
Sleep beneath that sullen wave,
Rio Bravo thou hast hoated
An army to an ocean grave.
On they came, these Northern horse
men,
On like eagles lowered tho sun,
Followed then the Northern bayonet,
And the field was lost and won.
O! for Orlando's horn to rally
His Palladins on that sad shore,
"Rio Bravo" Roncesvallcs,"
Yc are names blent evermore.

HAPPINESS IN OUR Own PowER.-
The earth would still be paradise if we
had the power Of enjoying it, and did not
turn it into curse to ourselves by our
own appetites and passions.
The banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1844-1847, 1846-10-07

ORIGIN OF 1IE NAMES OF bAiS.-lt
may not be generally known that the
English names of the days of the week
are derived from the titles Of Saxon del
tics. In looking over Turner'S History
of the Anglo-Saxons the other day, We
found the following table, which we
give for the benefit Of the curious:
Sunday Suns day.
Monday Moons day.
Wednesday Wcdncn's day.
Thursday Thor's day.
Friday Friga's day.
Saturday Saturne's day.
The names Of some of our religious
festivities are also derived from the same
source. Thus Easter which is used to
express the seasons Of our great paschal
solemnities comes from Ectre, an Anglo
Saxon goddess, whose festivities were
celebrated in April.
1t thus seems that the names OF some
ofthe Idols of our ancestors will be per-
petuated as long as the English Ian
guage shall endure.
Talleyrand ever made it rule to for
get his past misfortunes. Providence" }"
he was accustomed to observe, has Civ
en- us our eyes in front in order that we
might look before and not behind"
Experience too frequently like the
stern-lights of a vessel) throws a light
only on the path we have passed.

nary affections, dyspepsia, constipation, and various
degrees of local or general debility have been re-

spinal weaknesses, distortions tendency of the
body to lounge and droop, both in children and
adults. BY restoring the form to erect posture,
it enlarges the chest, that the subject breathes
feer and easier, and thus many contractons of the
chest, with attendant affections of the heart and
lungs, are counteraced, aud full play is given to the
organs of respiration. .. trt y. Il a. .'..

tronised by the most eminent of the medical pro-
fession.
BY merely pouring water on a teaspoon full of
this aperient, u cooling and grateful effervescing
beverage is obtained resembling soda water to the
,aste and imparting to the constitution all the bene-
fits of the celebrated Settler waters of Germany
Medical men of eminence commend in the high
est the preparation known as Tarrants Effer-
vescent Seltzer Aperient. Its success in bilious af-
fections dyspepsia or Indigestion heartburn febre
disorders, govt acidty of the stomach &c, and all
the various complaints caused by the sudden
changes of temperature usual in warm attitudes,
has been so great that it has been highly recon-
mended, and has, in consequence, been generally
prescribed; and the most satisfactory results have
invariably followed. In a torpid state of the liver
its action upon the system has been SO beneficial
that its energies have been revived and its healthy
tone restored. ''"
No preparation has ever been introduced to the
notice of the medical profession public which has
given such universal satisfaction as Tarrant's Effer-
Vescent Seltzer Aperient 1t should be freely used
at this preventative and dispeler of those
sick headaches, languor of the body, loss of appetite,
acidity of the stomach, &c, the forerunners of
billions or febre attacks. A teaspoon full taken
regularly every morning never interferes with the
avocations of the day. and invariably creates an
elasticity of mind and flow of spirits which gives a
zest to every enjoyment
