PROFANITY

Young man do you relaize the bad infuen-
ce you exert when you make use of profane
words? There are scor es about you who are
more or less Influenced by your language, and
conduct. When they hear profane words from
your lips they catch the language and make
use of the same whenever they would express
themselves with some warmth,
What is more unpleasant 10 the ear than
profane language? We hear it in every lane,
before every door all places. aa4 .1Graalal
And you, remember have been this means in
some degree, of this abominable practice. The
following lines though common, are no less
true-and we wish could be reiterated in your
ears and give you no peace till you forsook the

The Irish GiTi's Lament. ,1.
BY ST. MAR. i'L


AS through deep glen all lonely | strayed,
Where twilight cast over the waters shade,
| found lone cottage half buried from view,
By woodbines that round it luxuriantiy grew;
And near it there floated murIpuring strealn'
Whose waters flashed by il in the full moon ;
beam;
On its green messy banks fair girl reposed,
Her dark flowing ringets to the zephyrs exposed,
Whine Thoughts far away oirler own native Isle,
She touched not her harp, that rested the while,
But sat a Niobe till grief passed away,
Then chaunted in numbers, her sweet evening lay
And tuning her harp, TO soft mnstrelsy,
She sung Of sweet Ireland and Liberty!
:. The Emerald Isle in her deep seated,
Rests on the sparkling wave her dying head;
And through her shining locks, in tears that burn,
She pours her life as from some breaking urn,
While every wind that sweeps the coral strand
Watts the signs of Ireland
Oh! sea -girt Isle! where every bounding wave,
Finds on thy cherries shore, broken grave;
How fit an emblem of thy persisted power,
When DER thy bosom Tyranny shall lower,
Her bloody standard, and her grasPng hand,
Shall chain thee, Ireland!
Must Ireland fall. Then fall as Poland fell! II
While every son Of Erin grasps his buekler well,
The battles strife may drown the raging sea,
2 l.
Till crimson streams shall stain thy precious sand,
a. Thou bleeding Ireland. 4as.- a
Oh! who shall ever see fair Freedom dawn haia'
On thee, My native Islel When each bright lawn,
Shall be tired by none but freemen's feet. be.
And every voice shall ring in accents sweet
Proud Freedoms song, and Freedom hand
Shall guard thee, Ireland!
Spirit Of Liberty! lift thou oppresson's rod,
While from the altar Of each heart ascends to God,
Strong supplicauon! Oh may tnememory
OF sainted patriots, be dear to thee; 49,
And from their shrine inspire thai noble band,
The brave sons of ireland rood.
Oh! from the lds, of Erin's slambering dead,
Raise thou some .daunt ess Emmett now. to lead
The gallant in their strife for dying Liberty;
On, on, my native Isle to victory, aes l1
And Freedoms dawn shall gid thy coral strand,
Thou peerless Ireland''

The present, we think an opportune time,
while our army is at the gates, or within
the walls of the city of Dexico-to lay be-
fore our readers the following graphic and
interesting description of the far famed city
of the Aztecs. Ii is from Brantz Mayors

Ii was in the middle of November, but
there was a May mildness- in the atmos-
phere. The sky was OF that deep ultra-ma-
rine, blue peculiar to elevated regions. As
ranged my eye down the etreet from my
balcony, the town was alive with teeming
populations: the windows Of the houses
stood open; fair women stroiled homeward
from mass; old monks shuffled along in their
cowled robes; thd butcher urged along his
ass with its peripatetic stall hung around
with various meats; freshly-leaved flowers
and trees in the court yards, of which
caught glimpses through tho open portals;
and in the balconies lounged the early risers,
enjoying a cigar after their cup of choco-
late. Ii was lively and beautiful scene,

lighted in the remarkable transparency and
purity of the atmosphere, through which

Sack of MEXICO.
Bombardment Of Puebla--Reaanciation Of
gthe Presidency By Gen. Sania .anaG--

.Bombardn,ent Of Professionalism Of
.9the Presidency By Gen. Sania .anaa--
Rerou in Pap9,tla.
The following intelligence, which if cor
rect, is very important, we extract from III
.4rco Iris, Of the Goth ult., published at
Vera Cruz. Ii will be seen that the :" Ma
poleon of the South has again renowned
the Presidency. Whether this second abb
dieation is like the previous one, a mere
tpretence, yet remains 10 be seen; at pres
ent every thing is obscure.
Letters from Jalapa and 0rlzaba, re-
ceived yesterday in this city, give the most
positive information that the city Of Mexico
has been the theatre of the most horrible
and lamentable scenes.
The moment that Santa Anna abandoned
the capital, the disorder commenced, and as
soon as the populace considered themselves
free from the bayonets which might have
controlled them, the Leperos commenced
to sack the city, and committed every mani
ner of excess, pillaging and robbiDg the
houses without making any distinction be-
tween natives and foreigners.
1t is said that during the pillage, an
American division attempted to penetrate
into the city, but became involved in a fear
full conflict with the people, and was re-
pulsed, one part to the sentry stations aud
citadel, while another succeeded in getting
possession of the convent of San Francisco,
where it made itself secure against the
multitude, having abandoned two pieces OF
artillery.
TO these horrors, in order that nothing
might be wanting TO complete the picture of
death and destruction, prepared for the
capital by the shadow of resistance of the
army Of the republic, succeeded the bonn
bardment of the city by the American army,
which was in possession of the citadel aud
other fortified points in the suburbs. We
regret that we are unable to give to our
readers more detailed information, as every
thing leads Us to believe thar the losses and
misfortunes the unhappy inhabitants Of the
of Mexico have suffered, have been inn
mense, induced as well by soulless mob,
as by the bombs of the enemy.
Letters from Puebla, also inform us, that
Gen. Rea entered Puebla, and that the city
suffered . horrible bombardment by the
Americans from the fortified heights; that
Gen. Herrera marched towards Quetaro
with the remainder Of the army which leit
Mexico. and that Santa Anna, with 1000
cavalry, was in Tlaxalca, with the inten-
ton Of proceeding to Puebla, to unite his
forces with Gen. Rea, and cut of the COM
munications Of the American army with the
sea coast.
While writing these lines we have re-
ceived a manifesto issued by Gen. Santa
Anna, on the 18th, from the city Of Guada-
lupe de- Hidalgo. In il he relognces iiie
Presidency Of the Republic, and appoints
