When first l read thy moving lays,
My thoughts from me were borne,
And carried back to other days
Fer had cause to mourn;
And other days to "memory dear"
Came ,hronging back on memory here
Thy lay hath touched hidden spring
The heart-chord Of my feeling,
Unbid by me, my muse took wihg,--
My Utmost thought revealing;
That lay of thine hath made me know
That ! had yet some tears to flow.
1t was thy muse that lent ray
My weary days to brighten;
And by that light l saw the way
My burthened heat TO tighten:
And while wept for flower and leaf,
found vent for hidden grief.

Gen. REA, who has acquired so great
celebrity for his attack upon the garrison
Of Puebla, is a Spaniard by birth. Du-
ring the war of Independence he was an
officer Of the Spanish army. Having
been taken prisoner by Gen. Bravo at a
time when no quarters were given by
either army, the old general generously
spared his life, and soon after gave him
his own sister in marriage. Rea was
one of the 800 Of the Spanish prisoners
who were so cob|y liberated by Bravo on
the very day that he received the news
Of his own father having been shot by

Of nature was shown to us few DAYS
since by gentleman who has in charge
a negro child between 3 and years old
Of the male species. 1t is Of the blacklist
hue, except in the parts which render It
prodigy. Upon the forehead is a white
spot nearly as large as the palm Of the
hand, which is covered by lock Of hair
as white and soft as the finest carded
wool. The eye brows are also white
The arms above the elbows, are nearly
entirely white, as are also the legs above
the knees, and the calf Of each Leg
Nearly its entire body is likewise white
and the fair portions Of this human Curl
osity are as smooth, soft and delicate as
a lady's, and we were told is as readily
burned by exposure 10 the sun. The bow
was born in johnson county, and his pa
