American Manners.

A very intelligent correspondent Of the Bos-
ton Journal, writing from Dresden, Germany
says:

cal, but the Germans in social point of view.

The Irish Emigrant's Lament.

Pm sitting on the stile, Mary,
Where sat side by side,
On bright May morning, long ago,
When first you were my bride
The corn was sprnging fresh and green,
And the lark sang loud and high,
And the red was on thy lip, Mary,
And the love light in your eye.
The place is little changed, Mary,
The day as bright as then;
The lalk's loud song is in my ear,
And the corn is green again.
But miss the soft clasp of your hand,
And your breath, warm Oh my cheek
Aud still keep lst'ning for the words,
You never m0ie may speak.
IT'S but step down yonder lane,
And the little church stands near
The church where we were wed, Mary,
see the spire from here
But The grave yard lies between, Mary,
And my step might break your rest,
For lve land you, darling, down to sleep,
With your BABY on your breast.
Pm very lonely now, Mary,
For the poor make no new friends:
But o they love the better far,
The few our Father sends!
And yon were all had, Mary,
My blessing ana my pride;
There's nothing left to care for now,
Since my poor Mary died!
Pm bidding you long farewell,
My Mary,-knd and true!
But III not forget you, darling,
In the land Pm going to;
They say there's bread and work for all,
And the sun shines always there;
But III not forget old Ireland,
Were ii fifty times as fair!
And often in those grand old woods
I'll sit, and shut my eyes,
And my heart will travel back again
To the place where Mary lies;
And I'll think see the little stic
Where we sat side by side,
And the springing corn and the bright May morn
When first yod were my bride

Punishment in the U. S. Dragons.
G.nrI, RIr1,,rA N1nu,A

CAMP BUENA VISTA, Sept. IA, IS47.
An amusing incident occurred on our recent
trip to Pesqueria Grande, between the Lieut..
commanding, Mr.. Buford, and two of his men,
in the way of punishment, exhibiting great
tact on the part of the officer in giving his
to the vulgar science of self-defence, or pugil-
ism.
Two of his men had been engaged in settling
a little difference by the approved method of
knocking one another down, and pummelling
each others faces and so hard did the blows
resound on the empty pates of the dragons
as to attract the attention of their commander
He Immediately hastened to the spot, when
the combatants desisted and were about sepa-
rating, but the lieutenant stopped them, and
ascertaining the cause of the quarrel, informed
them that he was willing to crafty their de-
sire to thrash each other, bat that it must be
done in better and fairer manner. He &C.
cordingly despatched the sergeant of the guard
for three good stout sticks, and upon their be-
ing brought, gave one to each of the men, and
the third to the sergeant, and placed the two
men within fair striking distance.
"Now," said the lieutenant, "Smith, you
are number one, and you, Jones, are number
two. When I say number one, Smith will
strike Jones, and when call out number two,
Jones will strike Smith. Now, then, make
ready; Number one."
Whack came the stick of Smith upon the
shoulders of Jones. Number two" Crack
came down Jones stick upon Smiths head,
and as zone, two-one, two" were called in
rapid succession, the dust flew out of the COM
batants jackets in fine style. Atlength num-
Der one began to think that what was fun for
the company, who were all giggling or grimly
smiling and watching the curious combat, and
fer the lieutenant, who conducted the exhibit
ton with face as stern and unmoved as a
marble monument, was all but death for him
and raising his stick as number two was COM
ing down upon him like "ten hundred BRICKS"
he warded off the blow.
"Stop!" cried the lieutenant, sternly.-
GLOW dare you guard off his blow, Smith ;
Such a proceeding cannot be tolerated, and
you must receive double blow. Hit him,
again, number two" The order was obeyed.
I" If the lieutenant please" murmured the
discounted Smith, as he WINGED under the
fagellation of number two, 81 don't think
that's fair, SIR
"No matter what you think" replied his
superior, II think it is, and that Is all-suffi-
cient. Make ready: Number -"
6" If the lieutenant pleases," hastily inter-
posed number one, I'm perfectly satisfied
"Oh, you are and what are your views on
the same subject, Mr.. Jones" blandly muir
ed the officer.
"The same, sir, if the lieutenant pleases,
replied number two rubbing his shoulders.
"Very we'll, then, you can go; but let me
hear of no more quarrelling or fighting in the
company for the next six months
The scene was so perfectly ridiculous, and
the poor fellows were so thoroughly laughed
at by their comrades, that they soon shook
hands and became friends.-Cor. Of Picayune.
