The last rebuke which we have seen,
says the Pinsburg Post, coming from our
countrymen in Mexico, is contained in a
letter which, says the Washington Union,
sis from the pen Of gentleman who was
once whig member of Congress, from
Pennsylvania, and is now in command of
a company of volunteers, and the governor
Of the national palace in the city Of Mexi-
co.." The gentleman can be no other than
the Hon. CHARLEs MAYOR; and the DO
sition which he has occupied among POI
litical men in cur country, cannot be mis-
taken. His letter is most severe but
just rebuke to all the amoral traitors in
our country Ito Webster, Clay, Corwin,
and Mclean Wherever they may
be found, or under what pretence soever
they may be opposing their country. We
commend this extract to the attention of
every reader; and hope that our friends
will hold up to the merited execration of
their country1nen, all who sustain the in
famous band Of parasites who come with

ence:- Indiana State Sentinel.

Or pines in sad experience worse than death,

Not learned, save in gracious household ways,
Not perfect, nay, but fun of tender wants,
No angel, but dearer being, all dipt
In angel instincts, breathing Paradise,
Interpreter between the gods and men,
who LOOKED all native to her place, and yet
On tiptoe seemed to touch upon sphere
Too gross to tread, and all male minds perforce
sway'd to her from their orbits as they moved
And girdled her with music. Happx- be

Beats with his blood, and trust in all things high
Comes easy to him, and tho he trip and fall,
He shall not blind his soul with clay"

Josh Hudson-fo learned that was his

into which he emptied some toasted Mo-
cha coffee, which he pounded fine and boil
ed in tin kettle over charcoal furnace,
and served up to us as we sat under the
palm trees, with some eggs, quite comfort
ably. We filled our pipes and then looked
around at the barrenness which met our
eyes in every direction. At distance
there were mounds, some broken frag-
ments of marble, here and there remains
Of tombs and buildings, denoting that at
some time it had been place Of note
Josh hustled about and filled the pipes

As Doctor Pangloss says in the play,

This enterprising man, no doubt aware
that the overland route to India would
soon be established, and that great traffic
and commerce would grow out Of this new
enterprise, was determined to take his
position in time; and commenced squat
ting on spot in central position, to
be ready to take advantage of the travel
ling, and also the in transifu, and have a
monopoly of his position. "There is
stone enough in the neighborhood," said
he, to build smart hotel; and when
can get hands, I'll surely put it up.
This was once the great highway of
nations, when the commerce of India pour
ed its wealth into the Mediterranean
when the gold of Ophir was brought to
enrich the Golfers of King Solomon when
the whole route was continuous line Of
noble cities and villages, cultivated fields,
and enterprising inhabitants, in the midst
Of which the Nile flowed majestically, as
it now does amidst barren sands. This is
the vanity Of all worldly affairs.

AMERICAN AND ENGLISH WOMEN
The American girl at eighteen is one of
the most beautiful of living beings, but at
thirty she is passe. AT forty the English
woman is in her prime. Whence comes
the characterization their respective
habits of living. The American woman
lives in hot houses, and takes very little
exercise abroad, and when she does, she
is i'll protected against the weather. The
English woman rides, walks, and practi-
ces archery, and other exercises in the
open air, and is always properly clad to
meet the exigencies Of the weather. Hence
her beauty is a perennial bloom. One is
a hot house plant, that withcrs OH expo
sure, the other a hardy tree, that flourish
es it phase of winter. -a

The Cottage window,
By c. SWAIN.

By c. SWAIN.
Sitting at the cottage window,
Gazing on the myrtle bloom,
Whilst the summer daylight dying
Nantes hill and vale with gloom:
Colder falls the starry evening,
Darker grows the narrow room;
Still she fingers at the easement,
Gazing on the myrtle bloom.
Sudden, like rose she bushes,
Angel light II in her glance,
Neck, and brow, and bosom flushes,
As step doth quick advance:
sudden, pale as any moonlight
Falling on wintry shore,
Fadeth cheek, and brow, and bosom,
AS that step is heard no more!
3Never love nor hope," she sayeth,
1f a breaking heart We fear;
Every blush of love betrayeth-
Every breath OF hopes tear!"
Thus, unto herself, she moaneth,
List'ning mid the deep'ning gloom;
Sitting at the cottage easement,
Weeping DER the myrtle bloom.

All to that vale, by mortal feet untrod,
Whose pathways tends to dcstinics unseen
The house of dark perdition, or of God.
Some to the portals Of the grave repair
On ocean some--and oft the dread behest
OF battle speeks unnumbered victims there.
Millions the debt to nature due repay,
Unsuns, unwept, unhonored, and unknown,
To whom the checrless heritage of clay
Is welcome, as their pilgrimage was lone.
Mysterious plan! like stars that nature set
When time was born, upon the milky zone,
They may have sunk from human gaze, and yet
Kindle the light of the celestial throne.
And still to mortals there hath oftimes been,
In trust, some beatifc lustre given,
Which, long dispensed, admiring earth hath seen,
And coveted, when summoned back to heaven.
Fen like some pensive star, receding slow
From the vast orbit of revolving mind,
patriots soul hath left the realms below,
Leaving train of hallowcd light behind.

Such maternal or fraternal eyes,
Sufiuse, till time shall check their bitter flow,
From the deep founts Of sorrowing hearts arise.

The editor Of the Pittsburgh Gazette,
writing from Washington, says, he hears
Of another letter from Gen. Taylor, in re-

course, his wing predictions, as such a
man is not capable Of Disgusting his sem
ments upon any subject when deeming it
proper to make them public. If elected

Offices, he does not propose to exclude
