GONSTANCY;
Or, The Mother and the Daughter.

In small cottage once at Richmond.
commanding delightful view of the
Thames, lived Madame 10 Roche and her
only child Alkaline.
AT an early age the parents of Madame
la Roche had taken her from her native
country, England. to France, in order
that her education might be completed.
Here certain Monsieur la Roche, man
much older but also much richer than
herself had solicited her hand. In ODE.
dience to the commands of her parents, in
spite of her strongly expressed aversion,
the match was concluded, and the elderly
husband and young wife took up their
abode in Paris. Three years afterwards,
Monsieur la Roche died, leaving one child,
a daughter. Since that event Madame Ia.
Roche had resided in Switzerland first,
and then in Germany. At length, tired
ofthe Continent, she returned to England,
where she had now lived two years. and
where she firmly intended to spend the
remainder of her days.
As woman is placed in our present So
cial system, perhaps the most independent
and life enjoying ofthe sex is a young and
attractive widow. Madame la Roche
was both young and attractive-and SEN
sible, too, or she would have been envious
Of her sweet daughter Alkaline. As it was,
she treated her with all the warmth of a
mother, and the confidence of an elderly
sister.
On a certain summer day, Adaline Ia
Roche was seated in room opening on a
lawn which sloped to the river. BY her
SIDE, and close. by her side, was q man
young and handsome. He held one OF
her hands in his. and was looking with an
impassioned air into her face. Her eyes
were cast down, and the slightest suspic-
ion ola blush was upon her cheek, The
blush would have been deeper, but it was
aAsituation they were some what used to.
They loved each other. 49, u

THE SOLDIER'S REPLY
To the Wing Appeal for his Vote.
BY F. A. DURIvAGE.


Give you my vote! NO! not to save
This shattered body from the grave.
Your perlured party disclaim--
Treason, in nature-whig, in name.
10 those who would my reason know
lis this: I've fought in Mexico. e
While thro' our ranks swept grape &shell
And yielded none--though hundreds felt
While each who sank in the advance
Was spitted by a brigand's lance
While we our countIy's colOrs bore
Triumphant through the battles roar
You gave the murderous foeman aid,
You whelted each assassin's blade;
Yes: to the towards courage gave,
Heaped curses on your country's brave;
And now you change at once your note,
And ask soldier for his vote!
Think you your voices could not reach
10 Vera CruZ's conquered beach!
Or that your curses died away
Before the walls of Monterrey
Not so! In every conquered town
The language quoted was your own;
In every printed Aztec sheet,
Your spec cheS we were sure to meet.
vote your iraudful ticket? No!
For have fought in Mexico.
You say that Taylor leads you on;
My vote for Taylor must be thrown;
He wears the soldiers laurel leaf,
He is The soldiers honored chief
Ills true. His honors are his own
He won them by his sword alone.
But where the honor to command
Oftraitor wings ravenous band,
Who heaped dishonOr on the cause
In which he won the worlds applause!
To bring him from his proud estate,
Elect him as your candidate;
But do not ask soldiers hand
To stamp him with the foul wing brand
Against his fame strike no blow
| fought with him in Mexico.
Give me the men who, true and bold
Their country and their flag uphold;
Whatever force our shores assaii;
Whatever war-cry fills the gale;
Stoop not to wrong from high or low,
An insult answer by blow:
Who makes our flag, on shores or seas
The proudest flag that floats the breeze
Give me the democratic creed,
Bold men in word and brave in deed,
No traitors, sycophants, and knaves,
None who dishonor soldiers graves;
None who, when evil days betide.
Are ever on the foeman's side,
Who gallant hearts heap insult on;
But cheer them when the victory's won
[Nay-shrink moi, friend-I mean no harm
In Mexico left an arm
Peace has been ratified you know,
And MericdnS are all safe now.1
Seek some deserter, would you win
A vote to help your party in!
Or, better still, for voters go
To Riley'S men, in Mexico.

must have been lost or left there before
the tree commenced its growth; but how
long before, and by whom no one can
tell, or surmise. The age of the tree.
Judging from the number of grains in Is,
on either side of the heart, is one hundred
and ten years old, and yet, strange to say
the gun bore but very slight evidences of
rust or decay. When found, the breach,
was just above the surface of the ground,
and the nuzzle slightly imbedded in the
earth. 1t was loaded with ball.
