that Chang is very severe with them.
Mrs. Eng is better disposed than Mrs. Chang
although Mrs. Chang is the pre,iiest. Mrs.
Eng is very close and saving; and Mrs.
Chang 10 disposed to indulge in dress aud

differ about dress; but often differ in their
ideas about purchasing negroes or land

Chang readily acquiesces. Eng does all
tho writing, including the signing Of notes
md other important papers. Ing is ono
inch taller than Chang, and Chang's wife is
taller than Eng's

Elusive hopes TO rear!

As quickly lost, or flown,
As imaged in the mind!
No, friendship in the breast,
Unmixcd and pure can dwell;
A lovcd--a cherished guest,
Our pleasure, high to swell;
Its holy influence sweet,
In joy, or grief is known,
Its temple-virtue's seat,
A gui!cless heart, its throne.

To Willy its reign;

Wis but name with those,
Whose souls, ahjccs and base,
Esteem mankind as foes,

From il We extract tho following.
About this time rather an amusing Incl

Gcn. that large party Of MeNcans Ind
left the town, md were about Ia cut of some
IF our pickc,s. Ito Immediately ordered
Major BE,LL to move TO the support Of our

men were in thci: saddles. a party wero
seen ahead, and of they galIopcd. rushing
over bitches aud plouehed fields, and
through chapparal, in fnc style. The chase
~ns kept up for several miles, the retreat
ing soldiers doubling nj every point. At
last. the Major Jaw the frightened party
make directly for the American camp. Ho
thought they had fairly rushed into the
lions den; but on arriving in camp he dis
covered TINT he had chased in Capt.,
in commnnd of our own pickct-guard. In
an unchartable spiri, some people might be
disposed 70 blame the cup'hn, but no
thought he was pursued by five hundred
Mexican cavalry; therefore, il was prapor
TO fall back. An officer Of more experience
would probably have waited moment to DO
sure the enemy were after him. and mnnG-
nvrcd some, in order 10 feel tho enemy.
But the captain, not being well skilled in
cavalry tactics, thought it prudent to make
tho simple movement ofa "strnight strenk,"
which he performed in most admirable
manner.
