admirable substitute for Yeast in making all kinds
OF Butter Cakes, and have the advantage over that
article.in making the Batter perfectly light and

THE RIGHT COURSE.

Under this approving caption, the Times
quotes fIom some other paper, that &c General
Taylor and the other Generals at distant points
have now positive instructions TO pursue a
course contrary to the practice of our army
heretofore observed, which has conclusively
shown itself to have had no tendency in short
ening the war, or convicting tie treacherous
foe. The Unitd States Army, henceforth, is to
dictate Its own terms, and call apon the enc
mig for its supplies as IL odvances."
The plain English Of this, is that the war is
to be one of rapine, on the part of our troops
that the Mexicans are 10 be despoiled of their
pricute property, and subjected to the tender
mercles of an armed banditti, which it seems
the army ofinvasion is to become, under spos-
it've Instructions from head quarters. We
had supposed that our Government had already
sounded the depth of infamy in This unjustifia-
BILE and murderous war upon Mexico. but "In
the lowest depth lower deep" has been found
INTO which we are to be remorselessly plunged
by this miserable Administration. Well NAV
the patriot exclaim, with Thomas Jefferson,
- tremble for my country when / remember
that God is just, and that his justice will not
sleep ioreyer"- Charter Oak.

4 SHOWER.

A merchant was one day returning from
ma. act. He was on horseback. and behind his
saddle was a valise filed with money. The
rain t.il with violence, and the good old man
was wst to his skin. Atthis time he was quite
We. ed, and murmufed because God had given
him such bad weather for his journey. He
soon reached the border of thick forest:-
What was his terror on beholding on one side
of the road a roSber, who, with leveled gun,
was aiming at him and attempting to fire.
But the powder being wet with the rain the
gun did not go off, and the merchant giving
spurs TO his horse fortunately had time TO es-
cape As soon as he found himself safe, he
said to himself, "how wrong was not to en-.
Jura the rain patiently, as sent by Providence.
If The weather had been dry and fair, I should
not probably have been alive at this hour the
cain which caused me to murmur came at o
fortunate moment, 10 save my life and preserve
my properly" s43 H"" ' '
