Parsons was incredulous-he FASTENED
back to market. and there stood Junius
Brutus. alias, "Lovett," who had left the
jail as before, and arrived first.
"How are you, Parsons &" said Booth.
How is yonr nephew, the parson 2"
Parsons cheek began to pale. He
tbolght there was some necromancy or
witchcrafi in the matter. "Stay but a
moment here" said he, "and I'll come
ba H." He wendtd his way home almost
delirious with excitement and Incredibly;
where he found Booth, which almost drove
him frantic. The day passed, and nearly
every hour Parsons entered the apartment
to see that Lovett was safely secured.
The next morning, Parsons counted his
prisoners as usual, cycling Booth with the
most intense scrdtily. The tragedian had
a large patch upon his boot. which Par
sons noted particularly. Finding bis
priseHeFs all safe, he went to market as
usual, meditating upon the extraordinary
occurrences Ofthe previous day and there,
to his utter amazement and horror, stood
Loveit, the identical horse-thief whom he
bad just left.
Glow did you get out ~ said Parsons.

"Why, out Of jail, where left you, to
be surs.''

insult me never saw you before"
"Why, rascal" says Parsons. 81 know
you blythe patch upon your boot"
Parsons wits began to turn; he could
hardly believe his senses. He walked,
he ran, until cut Of breath, to the Jail. and
there was Love.t, with the patch upon his
boot, as before.
Parsons was taken i'll and continued so
for several days, and Booth reSorted to
another stratagem, TO recover him. He
feigned illness and death, and having
made an arrangement with friend, at
his lodgings, he was taken from the Jail
in a coffin, bored with holes (Which al
lowed him to breathe) and conveyed from
the Jail, which satisfied Parsons that he
was effectually rid Of "Loveth"

SONG OF THEAHEFECaN SOLDIER.
BY D. STEPHENSON.

My song is ofthi. happy land
My sword is for its glory;
Now comrades fll--my toast is for
The warriors of her story.
May Fame around their temple Irvine
The wreath which nonght can sever,
And may their proudest motto be
"The Unions flag forever"
We own no sovereign hut the law
The sovereign people made it,
No titled despots stain its cod5--
No lordling fops degrade it.
The ''great republic" (hns we style
This mighty land Of freedom,)
Has warrior sons TO guard her rights,
And warrior chiefs to lead them.
And beauty smiles throughout The land,
To charm and to caress US;
And who would spurn the soldiers lot,
When beauty deigns to bless US?
Before the worlds applauding gaze
The gallant soldiers duty
Is first to stand for native land,
And then for native beauty.
My song is Of This happy land
My sword is for its glory;
Now comrades till--rhy toast is for
The warriors Of her story.
My Fame around their temples Irvine
The wreath which nought can sever
And may their prondest motto be
1.-The Unions flag forever"

under the circumstances, is a result alike graft

ry nearly their full Democratic majorilies, and

WASHlNoToS, way " lotI.
MIR. Parish, who has left this morning with de.
spalches Tor the army in Mexico, had, on yesier-
day, long interviews with The Secretaries OF War
and State, and with the President. II is supposed
that he may also carry some verbal message 10
Gen. Taylor, which, infested as The roads IN
Mexico are with handful and robbers, il would,
perhaps, have been imprudent TO entrust 10 his
care in writing.
All sorts of spcculalons are ofcourse aaoat in
regard TO lbe probable contents Of he dispatches
sen; down 10 Mexico; but il may safely he guess
ed that they relate 10 the disbanding OF The militia,
whose term OF service is about 10 expire, and The
re.enlisting of those who may choose 10 serve
again. And it may also be presumed that Mders
have gone out 10 pursue the war with liule adj
dilional vigor.
MIR. Buchanan was suddenly taken i'll last eve
ming. so much so that Dr. Thomas had to be
called in and prescribe for him. He is still con-
fined 10 his bed, though evidently doing better.
Mr.. Walker is sill unable 10 speak, though
otherwise doing better. IL he could be persuaded
10 desist but week from the severest and most
uuremitting application to the public business his
recovery would be beyond doubt, bnthal seems
10 be impossible; the entrealies OF his physician
and his family notwithstanding. Yet that is the
man who is so shamefully abused by The pariizan
press, for having, under the most trying circum-
stances, devoted all the energies OF his powerinl
mind 10 saving the credit OF the States and the
commercial honor OF The country.
The Hon. Richard Rush took his farewell OF
the President this morning, and will leave for bis
post on or about the LIST Of June next.
