And inviting than bowers with roses entwined.

Come and puff off the care Of your business drives,
Der this bower the Genius Of Smoking presldes.
Segars of the finest from Cubas bright Isle.
None here can Them equal they're wondrous rare
Under luxuries fragrant, each care you beguile-
For they fly with the smoke and vanish in air,
For '',is clear and unguestionabe," It's a genuine
Cigar.

ANoTHEa.-On Saturday night daring rob
berry was committed on 18th street, near Mary
land avenue. The house Of Mr. Green, an in
dusrlous cartman, was entered some time in
the night. The robbers, in passing out, Stun
bled over saddle which lay on the floor. The
noise awakened the lady, who was much
frightened. They had dark lantern and keys.
II is probable they must have had some know
ledge of the fact that the old gentleman lad
money, they took from the draw all his earn
ings for years past, $40. He was about 10
build with this money, and il is not unlikely
that this led to the knowledge Of his being in
possession of it,

THE CATS COMPLAINT.
Our motto sir, reads always thus;
Wen trouble those that trouble us,
But never viii we trouble those,
Who do not tread upon our toes.
That motto be il right or wrong,
We've keppL through Tabby, Mol and Tom,
Down TO this day, and if we can
Well keep it still 'gainst brute and man,
For sir, we claim il as right
To sing and serenade each night,
Defying man with all his powers,
To interdict our vocal hours.
IT'S true he may with brick and stones,
Curtail eriremes or break our bones,
Yet will we drag ourselves away
And wag our stumps another day,
And when Ills night both loud and long,
Well sing our melancholy song.
But why objeclt to hear us sing?
Is tia crime, an awful thing
For men TO sing in notes as harsh,
AS bull frogs in the Arsenal marsh;
O no. that's right you all agree,
THAT'S what you call a grand soircc.
But when ,oe meet some three or four,
Sleek well fed cats, at some lone door,
Where we had promised 10 repair,
TO give our nightly concert there;
The key note given, we all agree
TO sound the chord melodiously.
The song proceeds, our heart they melt,
We feel as none but cats e'er felt,
While down our cheeks the tears are falling
Men cry lhal's horrid caler,oauling,
And springing madly from their beds,
Will shower their misslrs on our heads.
Well, be it so, yet will we strive,
While cal or kitten is alive,
To sing In spite OF mans decree
Our own sweet Feline melody,
Nor will we quake when men shall shout,
And cry six, six, you seal, get out,
Sui will we sing Till men shall see
The beauties Of catoogy.

"NOTHING BUT A PENNY PAPER
We were once travelling up certain river
on board a steamboat, and when we arrived
opposite certain large city, the news boys
came aboard, while our boat stopped few mo-
ments for passengers, and asked US to buy their
papers. l shall never forget the conduct Of
one gentleman upon being asked 10 purchase
the--paper. "Pohp' said he, "its nothing
bur a penny paper" We could not help in
lruding upon him and remarking; swell, SIR,
the penny press is the most important depart
ment of our literature, since il IS certainly ex-
erting the widest influenced" ThIs remark
startled him, and lead to some controversy up
on the relative merits Of different papers and
looks, and their power over the minds OF the
community. We do not like to claim entire
victory in the argument, but we feel assured
that the gentleman was lead to look rather
more favorable than before upon the inipor
lance Of the penny papcfs-whlch are read by
every body every day, and which, in this coun-
try are doing not a little in advancing the IN
tcrests Of the people. We regard a viruous
penny press, as an instrumentali,y second to
few others, for the promotion Of the public
veal. Certainly vicious press Of this kind
will exert an equally pernoions influence, but
happily there are no papers amoung all the
cheap ones, we know Of, that take decided
stand against pure principles, though there
are 100 few that boldly and sngly maintain
them-preserving their consistency through
out. Yet we look forward 10 the day when
the penny papers Of every city will be all in
righteousness, and the pure morals Of the Cos
pei OF our Saviour every where predominant.
Who does not pray for the speedy coming Of
such q day

| GEN. TAYLOR EFFECTUALLY HEADED AT

following story OF old "Rough and Ready:
The singular simplicity that marks Gen.
Taylor's personal appearance and habits, have
become subjec, Of universal fame. It's Curl
Gus, that soldier, so eminent in all the quail
ties of discipline, should be SO citizen-looking
in his own appearance, A curious scene oc-
Cured al Point Isabel, at the time Com. Con

Com. Conner is naval officer that is not only
strict in his dress but has Philadelphia nicely
sboat it, He appears in full and splended uni
form on all occo sions being the exact coun:e-
rpart in this particular Of Gen. Taylor.
AT the proper time, Com. Conner sent word
10 Gen. Taylor that he would come ashore 10
pay him visit OF ceremony. This put old
"Rough and Ready" into tremendous excite
ment. II Com. Conner had quietly come up
TO his tent, and given him sailors grpe,
and sal down on camp chest, and talked over
matters in an old fashionaed way, Gen. Tay-

without some effort, nerve 10 go through with;
but, ever equal TO emergencies, he determined
to compliment Com. Conner, and through
him The Navy, by appearing in full uniiorm,
thing his officers associated, with him for
years. had never witnessed.
In the meantime Com Conner ives cogi,-
ating over the most proper way 10 compl-
iment Gen. Taylor. Having heard OF his pc
cular disregard 10 military dress, ne concluded
he would make visit in manner compor-
ting 10 Gen. Taylor's habits, and consequently
equipped himself in plain white drilling, and
unattended, came ashore.
The moment 0 ''Rouah and Re ,dy," he
ard that Com. Conner had landed he aband-
oned some heavy work lie was personly
attending 10 about the camp, and pre- recriptately
rushed into his tent, delved at the bottom OF
an old chest, and pulled out unifnrm coat,
that had peacefully slunlbereI for years in

in his haste fastening il SO that one side ofthe
standig collar was three button holes above

Letters from the volunteers TO their friends
in this city, give description Of the state Of
things at the seat of war, as decidedly uncom-
Portable. The unusually early rise Of the Rio
Grande, which has uverflowed its banks, and
inundated the surrounding country, not only
materially retarded the operation of the Army
but leave the camps in a most pitabe condl
ion, tire men being up to their knees in mud
and water. People at home, who have good
dry beds, with every other comfort, will daily
appreciate the patriotism Of those brave men,
who are willing TO endure such hardships in
