the ceremony, and gets it we'll fortified,
and has an army of twenty or thirty thou
sand men in the forts and behind the
breastworks, we shall march down upon
upon 'em with five or six thousand men
and go through the furry. After they
have shot down about half of us, the
rest of US will climb in, over the mouths
Of their cannons, and annex that place;
and so on, one after another.
It's pretty hard work annexin in this
way: but that is the only way it can be
done. II will be necessary for the Presi-
dent to keep hurrying oil his men this
way; to keep our ranks full, for we've got
a great deal Of ground to go over yet
What we've annexed in Mexico, so far,
isn't but mere circumstance to what
we've got TO do.
Some think the business isn't pro6ta-
bic; but it's only because they haven't CT
phered into itfur enough to understand it.
Upon an average, we get at least ten to
one for our outlay, any way you can f.
gufe it up-I mean in the matter of peo-
pie. Take for instance, the city Of Mex
leo. 1t cost US only two or three thou
sand men to annex it, after we got into
the neighborhood of it: and we get at
least one hundred and fifty thousand peo-
pie in that city, and some. put il down as
high as two hundred thousand. Some
find fault with the quality of the people
We get in this country, jest as if that had
any thing TO do with the merits of the
case. They ought to remember that in
Government like ours, where the people
isllsed for voting, and where every nose.
counts one, it is the number that we are
to stand about in annexin, and not the
quality, by no means. So that in the
matter of people we are doing grand
business. And as to the money, it is no
matter what it costs US, for money grows
in the ground in Mexico, and can always
be had for digging.
There's thousand things in this coun-
try that should like to tell..you about i'll
had time; but things is so unsettled here
yet, that have rather a confused chance
to write. So / must break off here. and
write few lines to the President, but re-
main your old friend, in all latisudes. clear

DEAR SIR: I've done my bes! accord
ing 10 your directions, TO get round Santa
Anna, but it is all no use.. He's as slip
perry as an eel, and has as many lives as
cat. Trist and | together can't hold
him, and Scott and Taylor cant kill him
of. We get fast hold Of him with our
dIplomatics, but he slips through our FIN
gers; and Scott and Taylor cuts his head
of in every town where they can catch
him, but he always comes 10 life in the
next town, and shows as many heads as
il he had never lest one. = i had long
talk with him in the city, and pinned him
right down TO the bargain -heanlade with
you when you let him into Vera Cruz,
and asked him why he didn't stick TO it.
He said he dsiick to it so far as cireum-
stances rendered it prudent.
sBut, says /, s'Ginerah Santa Anna,
that amt the thing; bargains a bargain.
and If man has any honor he will stick
TO it. Now" says ], "didn't you agree,
ii the President would give orders to our
Commodore to let you into Vera Cruz,
didn't you agree to put your shoulder to
the wheel and help on this annexin 5usi-
ness, SO as to make easy work Of il =
And now, / ask you, as man of honor,
have you done it ~ sfFs siss84
"Circumstances alters. cases, Major
says Santa Anna. "When Mr.. Polk and
had that understanding, he thought he
needed few more votes than he could
muster in his own country TO bring him
: into the Presidency for second term.
So we agreed, if would turn over the
avotes of Mexico 10 him to bring him in
another term, he would afterwards turn
over his part of the votes in North A.
merica a me. so as to bring me in next
time. But soon found 1t would be
: throwing orr labor away. for Mr.. Polk's
part of the votes in his country was
I getting SO small that they wouldn't DO
much good to either Of US. So ] con-
cluded to hold on to what / had got, and

told him our folks would whip the sMexl-
cans all into shoestrings in little while.

Corks, cut thin as sixpence, roasted or
stewed in grease, and placed in their tracks
or dried sponge in small pieces, fried or dip
ped in honey, with little oil or rhodium; or
brd.lime, laid in their haunts, will stick to
their fur and cause their departure.
If live rat be caught and well rubbed or
brushed over with tar and train oil, and after.
wards allowed to escape, the others will all
disappear.
Poisoning is very dangerous and object
ionable mode.
Bait for Rats.-Mix paste of corn meal
with raw eggs, which is the best bait for
wire trap they will all get in if there is room.

4" The foaosrs are gone"

" The foaosrs are gone"
The melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year,
or wail;ng winds and naked woods,
And meadows brown and sere.
Heaped in the hollows of the grove,
The summer leaves lie dead,
They rustic to the eddying wind,
And to the rabbits tread.
The robin and the wren are flown,
And from the sh rubs the jay;
And from the wood top caws the crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the bright young flowers,
That smild beneath the feet,
Of hues SO passing beautiful
And breath so passing sweet !
Alas they all are in their graves,
The gentle race Of flowers
Are lying in their lowly beds
With the fair and good of ours.
The rain is alling on the graves,
But the cold November ram
Calls not, from out the gloomy earth
The lovely ones again.
The wind flower and the violet,
They persisted long ago;
The triar, the Orchis, and the rose,
Died mid the summers glow;
But on the hill the godenrod,
The aster in the wood,
The yellow sunfower by the brook,
In autumn beauty stood;
Till fell the frost from The clear cold heaven,
As falls the plague on men,
And the blossom never smiled again,
BY upland, glade or glen.
And now, when comes the calm mid day
As still such days will come
To call the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home
When the sound of dropping nuts is heard,
Though all the trees are STILL
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the ril;
The south wind searches for the flowers
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And signs TO find them in the wood,
And by the stream no more.
then think Of loved one, who
In youthful beauty died
The fair meek blossom that grew up
And faded by my side;
We laid her in the cold moist earth,
When the forest cast the leaf,
And wept that such lovely one
Should have a life so brief.
Yet not unmeet it was that one
Like that young friend of ours,
So gentle AMI so beautiful.
Should pc rish with the flowers Holds Nag.
