sermon for Old Bachelors.

A late number Of the Hartford Mirror con-
,ains lay sermon for the special benefit OF the
bachelors founded on the following text:
"And they called Rebecca, and said unto her,
Wilt thou 90 with this man! and she said
will co. Genesis xxxvI, so.
In those times, ceremony, formallty. sghing.
and sentiment, were altogether unknown. Re-
becca was good girl, and jumped at the frss
offer.
The editor of the Norwich Aurora says he
could have picked out better text TO preach
before the honorable fraternity, viz jacob
kissed Rachel"
That is something substantial for bachelors
to ponder over. The other text was for the
beneii. OF Rebecca altogether:
..Jacob kissed Rachel, and he lifted uP has
voice and wePt."
How pathetic The fact is, says the Auro-
ra. time and fashion make strange infoads upon
poor human nature Here was Jacob securing
The country TO look for a wife, aud on fne
sunny day, in the valley Of Padanaram, he saw
her at distance. drawing waller fIom wei,
being barefooted, and without ceremony he ran
towards her. and in The language Of the good
book, "kissed her and lifted up his voice and
wept" We have no account that Rachel boxed
his cars for his rudeness, as in these days Of
simplicity and innocence she would have done,
in GOOD society"

Palos-AIto and Resaca.

NEW SONG FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY.
Now while our cups are flowing
With memories born 10 bloom,
Ard flial hands are throwing
Their wrearh's o'er valor's tomb =
While lips exulring shout the praise
OF heroes of the past that stood,
Triumphant mid old Bunker's blaze,
And proud In Euraw's field Of blood;-
Be no, forgot the gallant train,
That lifts your name in Mexic war,-
One cup for Palos-Alo drain,
One mighty cheer for Resaca!
For Taylor" Rough and Ready"
True son of lruest sres;-
For May, who, swift and steady,
Trod down La Vegas fires;
For all who in that day of strife,
Mainian'd in pride the stripes and stars,
The dead, who won immortal life,
And they who live for other wsrs;-
For these, who with their victory,
New wreaths 10 grace our laurel bring
A health that drains The goblel dry,
a cheer thai makes The welkin ring,
Nor, though even now we falIer
Wlh thoughts Of those ho died,
Aud at our festive altar,
Grow silent in our pride,
Yel in The hearts most holy deep.
Fond memory shrines The happy brave,
Whe in the arms Of battle sleep
BY 2alos' wood and Brayo's wave;
Nor in our future deeds forgot,
Shall silent though, forbear TO bring,
Her Iribule 10 that sacred spot,
Where Ringgold's gallant soul took wing
Fill 10 our couniry's glory.
Where'er her flag is borne;
Nor, in her failing story,
Lei future ages noun;
Nor let the envious foreign foe,
Rejoice that faction checks her speed,
Arrests her in the indignan, blow,
And saddens DER the avenging deed!
Fall high, though from The crystal wave,
Your cup, and from the grape be mine:
The marriage rites, that link the brave
To fame, will turn each draughi TO wine

The City OF HXCXiCO.

The city of Mex leo is said 10 be the finest
built ciiy on the American continent tn some
respects ii certainly is SO. In the principal
streets The houses are all constructed according
10 The sriclesl architectural rules. The fuun
dations of the city were laid, and The fIrst bull
dlngs were erected by Coues, who did every
thing we'll which he attempted building
house or writing couple, TO coneuerlng an
empire. Many Of the finest buildings in Mexi-
co are still owned by his descendants The
public square is said TO be unsurpassed by any
| in the world; it contains some twelve or fifteen
acres paved with sone The cathedral covers
one eLtlre side, the palace another; the western
side is occupied by of very high and sub
slanlal houses, the second stories of which pro-

the lower stories are occupied by the principal
retail merchants of the city The most Of these
houses were built by Cores. who, with his
characteristic sagaciiy and avarce which equal
life, selected the best portion Of the city for
himself.
The Presidents Palace, formerly the palace
Of the viceroys, is an immense building of three
stories high, about five hundred feet in length,
and three hundred and fifty feet wide; il stands
on The site of The palace of Moniezuma. 1t is
