Lows TRouBLEs--Ever since we were
knee high, we remember 10 have heard it said
that true love never did run smooth, and on
reading the following, which we clip from an
exchange, we are half inclined to think there is
more truth than poetry IN the aGage. Miss
Spliiztizzle entered the room with graceful
courtesy, done with old times precision, to the
company. especially to Doctor Squibbs, who
whispered 10 the widow Wimple the next mo
nent.
You've drapped somthin,' Miss Splitz6z-
zle, guess" said Dick Slobb, skipping up to
the ancen, maiden, with mischief shining out
all over his face.
"What is it, my dear - exclaimed the lady
turning pale, and iustincuvely putting her
hand up 10 her, hustle, TO feel It's condition.
wal. don't see Eoth'n myself; but Doc
tor Squibbs he whispered TO the widow Vim
pie, that YOU draPped the worst SORT of n cur
ehy as you came in, that he ever did see--he

A TEMPERANCE SToRY.--Two young men,
with a humming in their heads" retired late
one night to their room in crowded inn, in
which as they enter is revealed two beds
but the wind extnguished the light; they both,
instead OF taking, as they supposed, bed
apiece. got back to back in one, which begun

printers pocket nova days but down cas-
ter, smliten with the charms ola "loyely she''
lets off his ecstatic feelings in the following
gush OF the "true blue"
Red is the rosy posey S hue,
That grows down in the "hollers,"
And red is uncle Nathan's barn,
That cost a hundred dollars;
And red is sister Sally's shawl,
That cousin Levi bought her,
But redder is the blooming check
Of Squire Jones's daughter.

JALAPA.--H there is any one place in Mexico
that we deem superior to all else we've seen,
combined, that place is JalaPa. 1t is the pref
test town, has the handsomest buildings, love-
Hest gardens and most delicious fruits Of all
others taken together; and what adds more
than all this to the interest of the place is the
fact that il seems to be peopled with a race
distinct from those we have encountered else
where-possessing more ideas of refinement,
more intelligence, more industry and more
neatness. The women are decidedly pretty,
and there is not man who will say aught to
the contrary; and in their habits--we mean of
course the supper ten" - they approximate
nearer to American refinement. Naught can
be said of the men but what is to their advan-
tage, and many time, whilst passing up the
principal street, we imag ned ourself in some
thriving Yankee city. Taking Jalapa, all in
all, we are highly pleased with it and its peO-
pie, and cannot conceive that there is any diff
ference of opinion on that subject amongst the
Americans.-.4merioan Star.

SELF-MADE MAS-Judge Bissel, the present
Wing candidate for Governor of Connecticut is
a conspicuous example of a self-made man. He
was poor farmers boy, and cultivated the
parental acres by his fathers side until TWEEN
ty years of age. In the mean time, by assid-
uOus industry, he had in the intervals of labor
prepared himself for college By his own I'M
aided exertions, giving portion Of his time
to the instruction of others, he succeeded TO
his first degree with distinguished honor. Since
then he has given his great talents and acquire
ments to the service of his native State. He
has filled successfully with eminent ability,
the Offices of Chancellor, Senator and Judge
of the Supreme Court. Always prudent and
sound and discriminating in his judgment, his
worth has been recognized. He is now about
to be elevated to the highest office in the gift of
the people. Without aPing the fantastical
distinction of ridiculous aris,ocracy, without
conceit or pretensions, he still remains the same
sober and substantial citizen, as much one of
the people as when be labored on his fathers
farm, unchanged in all, save in his power to
serve the pqbllc.-.Norlcabk Gas.

ORIGINAL POETRY
TO BUSTER.

This affectionate little dog died suddenly
in this place, during the night OF the llth inst.
in the seventh year of his age, regretted by al
who knew him. Descended from race, dis
covered amid the wilds of the Rocky Noun
tains, his life manifested many noble traits Q
character, that put to shame the boosted virtues
of civilized man.
"The first dark day of nothingness,
The last of danger and distress,n
Hath set upon thy grave.
The trump, that wakes the sleeping dead,
Willpeal in vain above.thy head,--
Thou hadst no soul 10 sape!
Thy faithful heart iswrapped in dust,
Without hope, without trust,
Beyond the bounds of earth.
Thy joyful spirit, all SO bright
That look Of love, and life, andlight-
Will know nosecond birth!
Alas! that virtues such as thine,
Should meier beyond this orbit shine /.
In an eternal blaze:t s
Whilst man, the faithless and unjust, l
To brighter worlds may look, with trust i
T To hear Makers praise =
From all, to whom my heart was free,
pye known unkindness, save from thee,
My constant little friend
Thine ear mbibed not SANDERS breath,
But true in life, and true insdeath,
Thy love.ne'er found an end.
Poor Buster! DER thy dreamless sleep,
Thou canst not hear the wretched weep,
Nor mark the silent tear;
But, sill rll seek thy lowly bed.
Where "softest dews Of night are shed,''
To breathe WHISPERED prayer
A prayer, that when this life is done,
And all its fleeing pleasures gone
u 70 joil,sthe central doom,
Some being, gentle as myself,
Without the hope Of sordid pelf, Us
May weep beside my tomb!

P. S.-Since writing the above, the celebrat-
ed courier for the English merchants, Rafael
Beraza, has arrived from Mexico with letters
for the British packet at Vera Cruz. He says
but little, yet it has leaked out that they are
organizing guerillas rapidly in both Mexico
and Puebla. All the robbers in the latter city,
and their name is legion, have received regular
licenses to rob and murder on the road. The
beauty of the system has already manifested
itself, for it is said they have already coDmenc-
ed plundenng their ownpeople on the roads.
