II was blessed summer day,
The flowers bloomed--the air was mild,
The little birds poured forth their lay,
And every thing in nature snitet,.
In pleasant thoughts I wandered on
Beneath the deep woods ample shade,
Till suddenly came upon
Two children who had thither strayH
Just at an aged birch trees foot
A little boy and girl recline'd.
His hands in hers she kindly put,
And then saw the boy was blind
The children knew not was near;
A tree concealed me from their view,
But all they said well could hear
And I rouid BEE all they might do.
"Dear Mary said the POOR blind boy,
THAT little bird sings very longs
Say DO you bee him in his joy,
And is he pretty as nib song"
ayes. EdAard, ye,," replied the maid,
Il see the bird on yonder tree;"
The poor boy sighed, and gently said,
"Sister wish that could see."
"The flowers, you ssy. are very rait,
And bright green leaves Are on the trees.
And pretty oirds are singing there
How beautiful for one who sees.
"Yet the fragrant flowers can smell,
And can feel the green leafs shade,
And can hear the nStes that swell
FROM those dear birds that God hath made.
'.so sister, God to me is kind,
Though sight, alas He has hot given;
But tell me are There any blind
Among the children up in heaven"
"No deatest Edward, there all see
But why S,k HE Thing SO oddi'
"Oh Mary, He's 90 good to me,
lfaot,H6s I'd like II look ss God"
Ere long dnesse hn hsna haa nia
On that dear eSS 50 rt,e.k aha hld;
His ~iaSA'd mother wept and prayed
That God would SPARE het sightless child
He felt her warm tears on his haze,
And said--"Oh. never weep for me,
TIM going to brisht-bright plats
Where Mary says God shall see.
"And you'll be there, dear Mart, too;
But mother when you &c, hh there,
Tell Edward. nothef, that It's you
You know never sSw you here.''
He spoke no more but swes,lS srhiid
Until the final BLOT &as given
When God took up that poor blind child
And opened FIRST HE eyes In Hesvsh.

The 22d day Of February was celebrated
with great eciai Of Msfamoras. Salutes were
fred from both sides Of the river, balls were
given, speeches made, and other national de.
monstratioas Of rejoicing took place.
Six companies Of the Virginia Regiment
have passed through MasnmoIas and gone up
to Camargo. They will see service sooner
thau they desire. Col. HAxTRAMcK leaves
this city To- day on the Telegraph. to join this
battalion Of his command. The other six COM
panies Of bis regiment are now at sea On their
way 10 the seat ofwar.
Many outrages and murders continue to BE-
'perpetrated in the vicinity Of Matamoras. The
body Of man, name unknown, apparently an
American, was lately found short distance
below FoH Brown. The fragment OF lasso
was around his neck, and he had nine knife
wounds in his body.
On the 22d uli.-we derive the particulars
from the Fiag-ML GEo. CURRY, dischar-
ged soldier, formerly belonging 10 the 9Th In
faniry, was shot at rancho mile and half
above Fort Brown, by man named KsowL-
TON, who Immediately fled. A reward Of SO

hension Of ksowLTos, who is carpenter by
trade, and was. or had been in the employ OF
the quarermaster. CuRRY was worthy
man he was wounded in the Florida cam
paign, fought al the battles Of the 9Th and 9th
Of May, and at Monterey, where he was again
wounded. A large concourse followed him to

The las, or the cases alluded TO occurred on
the 18th ult., in the public market place The
name of the man stabbed is CHAs. PicKENs,
seamsier in the quartermasisr's service. His
murderer was promptly arrested and thrown
into prison.
A young Mexican was arrested on the ID
inst supposed TO have been spy. He endea
yored to make his escape from his captors,
was fired upon and killed. As he had previous

was unjuslly suspected.
The New Orleans Delta says that they are

of Vera Cruz On the 20 ull., between so
aud GO sail Of vessels left Tampico and LoIos
Island with troops and munitions of war of
every description for the bombardmeni of Vera
Cruz. Every vessel in the harbor-ships,
barks, briggs. schooners and steamboats--in
fact every vessel that could possibly carry
men or arms, was enlisted into the service,
and departed as soon as they could possibly
be loaded. 1t was with great difficulty that
the Pioneer got away, SO anxious were the
military authorities 10 impress her into the
same service. Gen. ScorT himself is report
ed 10 have said that the demonstration would
be commenced on the 10Th inst, and this re-
port was so generally believed at Tamplco,
when the Pioneer left, that i, was not regarded
as mere rumor. but as fixed fact" We
may therefore expect every day TO hear news
Of the bombardment Of that far famed Mexican
tower of strength, the Castle Of San Juan de
Ulua.
An extract Of the Picayune furnishes the
following additional intelligence from Tampi-
co and the Island of Lobos:
All the hoops which were n, Lobos had
gone on board ship, with the exception men
toned below. There Were nearly eighty sail of
vessels Of all descriptions lying there, but they
were 10 sail for Anton Li7ardo on the I'd inst
The only troops left al Lobos were the COM
panies on board the ship on which the small
pox had appeared.
Gen. WORTH arrivedat Lobos, on The Edith
on the LIST inst, from Brazos. Gen. TwiGGs,
arrived there two or three days previous
Gen PATTERSON was still at Tampico on
the Sd inst. The steamship New Orleans ar
rived there on the morning of that day with
Cen. IEssUP on board,
The Mississippi volunteers who were at To-
Dos (par of Cd Regiment had sailed for
BraZos. They are ordered TO Monterey. Our
informant thinks they sailed on the ship Ocean.
They have suffered terribly from sickness, and
are said TO look miserable The Louisiana
Regiment, too, is said TO have suffered much
from sickness. On the other hand, the Penn
sylvania and New York Regiments are said
10 be as fine looking body of men as ever
were seen.
The general depot established at Lobos is
broken up. Nothing is to be left there but the
few companies before alluded to.

The Corn trade Las been in very huc,ua
ting condition during the month of February.
At the time OF the sailing OF the Cambria the
price of Meal continued TO give way occasion
ally until from the commencement Of the re.
action, the reduction amounted altogether to
about to 10 shillings per quarter and Flour
7 or s shillings per Barrel
1t might be that this decline under the actu-
al position Of supply and demand was too rap
id or commenced too early, or that the nature
Of the discussion in Parliament revived the
confidence of holders and warned the fears of
buyers. Towards the middle Of the last month,
renewed confidence was observable, and buy
ers again came forward for Ireland, to pur-
chase heavily, in confidence.
Since the upward move in grain common
ced, there has been an advance on wheat of
to 6 pence per 20 lbs, and in -four Of about 3
shllings pence per Dbl. Oats and oat meal
remained steady, but do not sell freely. lndi-
an corn has Of late given way one shilling TO
two shillings per As pounds, and beans to IS.

Various reasons and opinns are afloat as to
the probable supply OF 5readstuffs, which we

good 10 expect that, with the opening, the last
eight or ten days the receipts OF corn, SC. have
