CHEER YE EACH OTHER.

Cheer ye each other with words
Ot mild and pleasant intent;
10 strengthen the loosiug chords
Of life with delight and content,
The smile ofthy sister recall
Relieve thou thy brothers. alloy;
BE loving, and throw over all
The sweetest emotions of Joy.
Yes, cheer one another along
In paths We delight to pursue
A breathis the pinion of thought,
And thought is the breath OF the soul.
And spirit by spirit is taught,
With good or evil control.
Speak cheerIngly unto the sad,
The wounded in heart and the poor
A word OF affection makes glad
And hel peth the wronged to endure,
Disturb not the hope of Thy friend,
lfsorrow it maketh TO thee,
But keep up the dream to the end
In JOY let his spirit go free.
Deal gently with those that err
IT'S mercy that saveth the lost;
And all that thy love can confer
Can never Gods bounty exhaust.
Oh cheer one another along,
And Joy and affection impart-
Unkindness of spirit is wrong,
But blessed the cheerful in heart.
Each life is link in the chain
OF kindred humanity's race;
And sympathy sofens the pain
-, And helpeth to bear it with grace.
Then cheer one another in gloom,
Since cheerfulness brighteneth care;
lis short road to the tomb
Oh! cheer one another till there.

The receipts Of Flour and Grain from foreign
ports were large, which In connection with the
continued favored prospect Of the growing crops
caused further depression In prices.
The pressure of the money market, was also
unfavorebly affecting the markets.
Western Canal Flour ranged from Is to 27s:

The Cotton market was firm. The sales of

The principal matters discussed in the Janeiro

daily expected birth of another child, and the
fear that duty would be laid in the Uuited

THE Train UNDER MAJoR LALLr.--One Of the
Patria's Vera Cruz correspondents writes, that
the train under Maj. LalIy has been a second
time attacked by the guerrIlIas and sustained a
severe check, losing two hundred and fifty men.
But for an accident their defeat would have been
entire. The letter further says, in conclusion,
that 'the Yankees have cspitulated." We shall
not believe one word of this until we have other
authority for II. We have no doubt, however,
that this train will be moro harrassed than any
which have yet gone up. We shall be relieved
when we hear Of its safe arrival at Perote.-N.
