GETTING RID OF A CHAReE.-The other day
as a gentleman, in company with two ladies'
was walking along Sycamore street, Cincinna-
ii, his name was called by a female at the cor
ner of the street. He stepped out from the la
dies in his company to answer the call, and
was met by a female closely wrappedi IN a dark
cloak, with a bundle in her arms Without
word or ceremony she placed the bundle in the
hands of the gentleman, and fled at full speed
The bundle proved to be a stout, robust. male
child, wrapped in a shawl. It is needless to
say that the gentleman sought the first favora-
bic opportunity to escape his company, and
dispose 0 his charge.

INDIANS IN MExIco.-our latest dates from
Saltillo told ola conflict between the Texan
Rangers and a band of Camanches. Late pa
pers from the City of Mexico also describe sew
eral actions between the Indians and Mexican
troops. The sayages had boldly approached
within seventeen leagues of the city of San
Luis. In one engagement the Mexicans had
fifty infantry and thirty dragons engaged.
The party was completely cut to pieces, only
eight Of the dregoons- escaping with their lives
and Eve Of these being wounded. Another en-
gagement took place between the Indians and
enc huaFred DRAGONS of the 4th Regiment of
cavalry which were marching from Matehuala
to join Gen. Avalos. The fight occurred at
Rlingole, and the dragons were completely
routed,' seventy being killed, among whom
vrers Col, Labastida, and several other officers.
The survivors oEthis fight atlast joined Avalos.
Ina letter from this general, we have report
of fan engagement in which the Mexican arms

n-We copy the following verses from an oid paper
,eeause thew are found in few editions of Byron's
Works. and because Sir Walter Scott said it was the
and most exquisite of his fugitive pieces:
There is a mystic thread of life
So dearly wreath'd with mine alone,
That destiny's relentless knife,
At once must sever both or none.
There is a form on which these eyes
Have often gazed with fond delight
That form, by day, their JOY supplies,
And dreams restore it through the night.
There is a lip, which mine hath press'd,
Andnone hath ever pressd before
Itvowed to make me sweetly bless'd,
And mine-mine only press'dit more.
There is a bosom-all mine own
Hath pillow'd oft this aching head
A mouth that smiles on me alone
An eye, whose tears with mine are she'd
There is a voice, whose tones inspire
Such thrills o~frapture through my breast,
/ would not hear a seraph choir,
Unless that voice could join the rest
There are two souls whose equal flow
In gentle streams so calmly run,
That when they part--they partl ah no!
Those cannot part-those souls are one.
