modestly advances his opinions. We
love such man--we do sincerely
and his company we do highly prize.
If he meets you in the street, he pleas,
antly bows and bids you good morning.
You do not find him standing at the
corners, using profane words, or see
him at the entrace Of churches on the
sabbath. He quietly enters his pew,
takes his seat without a flourish. He
goes to hear, and not to see. Such
young men there are in the city. You
will find them in some Of your printing
offices, workshops, and other places
where to work and earn ones living is
honorable. When they come upon the
stage of active life, they must succeed;
it cannot be otherwise. We would give
more for modest, unassuming young
man, for all the practical business oi
life, than for a score of brassy, impu
dent rascals, who are not worth the
bread they keep from moulding.--Port

POETRY.
Summer Afternoon.

The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe Of clay,
While his hale old wife, with busy care,
Was clearing the dinner away.
A sweet little girl, with bright blue eyes,
On her grandfather's knee was catching flies.
The old man placed his hands on her head,
With tear on his wrinkled face -
He thought how often her mother (now dead)
Had sat, long ago, in that place.
As the tear stole down his hall shut eye,
Don't smoke said the child, for it makes yot
cry
The house dog slumber'd upon the flodr.
Where the sun, after noon would steal
The busy old wife, by the open door,
Was turning the spinning wheel
And the old brasyclock on the mantle-tree
Had plodded along to almost three.
Still the farmer sat IN his easy chair,
While close to his heaying breast
The moisten d brow and the head so fair
of his grandchid dear were press'd;
His silver locks mid her golden hair lay
Fast asleep were they both on that summer day

Incidents. &c., of the War.

The singular simplicity that marks
Gen. Taylor's personal appearance and
habits has become subject OF univer-
sal fame. 1t is curious that soldier
so eminent in all the qualities Of dis
cipline should be so citizen-looking in
his appearance. A curious scene oc-
Cured at Point Isabel at the time Com.
Conner appeared off that place with
his fleet TO give succor to the "Army
Of Occupation" Com. Conner is a
naval officer that is not only strict in
his dress; but has a Philadelphia nicely
about it. He appears in full and splen-
did uniform on all public occasions, be-
ing the exact counterpart in this par
ticular of Gen. Taylor.
At the proper time, Com. Conner
sent word to Gen. Taylor that he
would come ashore TO pay him visit
ofceremony. This put old "Rongh and
Ready" into tremendous excitement.
lfCom. Conner had quietly come up to
his tent and given him sailors grip,
and sat down on camp chest, and
talked over matters in an old fashioned
way, Gen. Taylor would have been
prepared; but. to have the most care
fully dressed officer in our navy, com.
manding the finest fleet, to come in full
uniform, surrounded by all the glitter
ing pomp Of splendid equipments--sc
pay visit Of ceremony, was more thar
Gen. Taylor had, without some effort
nerve to go through with; but, eve
equal to emergencies, he determined t.
compliment Com. Conner, and through
him the navy, BY appearing in full uni
form, thing his officers, associates
with him Tor years, had never witnessed

Sand Bar.

Among the annoyances experienced
by the volunteers curing their encamp-
ment at the Brazos Santiago, previous
to their march to Barita, is the light
sand which is agitated like dust by the
sea breeze, and fills the eyes, tents and
food of the volunteer forces. The
water, which is execrable, frequently
produces painful diseases Of the bowels,
such as dysentery, &c. &C., which
sometimes enervate and discourage the
men Most of them, however, bear up
under it with great fortltude, and joke
over their pains, thus tightening their
own burthens and cheering their com
rades. One brawny looking fellow,
pale and haggard from suffering, re-
ported himself to his captain the other
day as decidedly used-up individual
"Cap'n," said he, touching his hat
"I'm in bad way; there amt much
fight left in me, I'm afeared--do yo,y
think the doctor has anything that WI!

no, fear not; my impression is tina

Take it Easy.

Take it easy! Life atlongest
But heightened shadow is,
And the brave as well as strongest
Dare not call to morrow his!
Take it easy! for to-day
All your plans OF wisdom lay.
Take it easy! done with fretting.
Meet your neighbor with smile,
From the rising sun to setting
Live the present all the while!
Take it easy! every vow
Make in reference to notc.
Take it easy! what is hidden,
Or is wrong, or seemeth so,
Leave 1t as thing forbidden,
Out Of which curse may grow.
Take it easy! never pry
Into what will cause sigh,
Take It easy! daily turning
To the monitor within,
On its altar always burning,
Keep an incense free from sin!
Take it easy! never fear
While you keep conscience clear
Take it easy! ever leaning
To the side of truth and right;
Happiness from virtue cleaning,
Peace of mind from wisdom bright!
Take it easy! for at best,
Life is but sorry jest.

In the mean while Com. Conner was
cogitatlng over the most proper way
to compliment Gen. Taylor. Having
heard Of his peculiar disregard Of mill
tary dress, he concluded he would make
the visit in a mannsr COMFORTING to
Gen. Taylor'shabits, and consequently
equipped himself in plain white drilling
and unattended, came ashore.
The moment old "Rough and Ready
heard that Com. Conner had landed
he abandoned some heavy work he was
rsonally attending to about the camp
and precipitaIely rushed into his tent
delved at the bottom of an old chest
and pulled out a uniform coat, that had
peacefully slumbered for years in un
disturbed quietude, slipped himselfinto
it, in his haste fastening it so that one
side of the standing collar was three
button holes above the other, and sal
himself down as uncomfortable as can
well be imagined. With quiet step
and unattended, Com. Conner present
ed himself at Gen. Taylor's tent; the
two soldiers shook hands, botll in ex
ceeding astonIshment at each others
personal appearance.
The wags in the army says that the
above contains the only authentic &C
count where Gen. Taylor was evel
headed; and that since that time he ha'
taken to linen roundabouts, of the larg
est dimensions, with more pertinacity
than ever.--N. O. Tropic, July 10.
