victory.
In the noisy war of factions,
And the eager race for spoil,
The Old White Horse KEEP. quiet
And went about his toll;
But when the foes Armada
Came looming DER the brine,
The Old White Horse was ready
And in the foremost line.
And when the trumpet sounded
To other fields of fame,
The Old White Horse went down of course,
And conquered where he came.
AT well fought Palo Alto.
And the bloody Palm Ravine,
The boldest foemen scattered
Where the Old White Horse was seen.
For he'd thought the subject over
Before the fray begun,
And when he's fixed things in his mind
They're just as good as done.
off the enemy oppose me-
On the left OF on the right
Whatever be his numbers"
Said the Old White Horse, "PH fight"
So the Old White Horse went marching
And conquering day by day,
From the walls of Matamoras
To the towers Of Monterey.
And for the browning struggle,
Went out numbered and hemmed round,
On the heights of Buena Vista
He took up his fighting ground.
A summons 10 surrender
From the hostile ranks they send
But that's branch of tactics
That he doesn't comprehend
So he sent pithy message,
BY the bearer of the flag,
And then replied more fully
In grape from Captain Bragg
When the doubtful battle wavered,
And the foe was gaining ground,
The Old White Horse stood calmly
Where the balls were crashing round
And all who saw him rallied,
And felt their spirits stirred
The Old White Horse was on the spot.
And Victory! was the word
The Old White Horse is steadfast,
And Of the staunch old breed;
We've often proved his nettle
And now we'll try his speed;
AS he's always done his duty,
And with honor filled his place,
Though never known to run before.
Wen start him for race!
So clear the track good people,
Against the racing day;
You know he tasks no favors"
But fair field and fair play,
And won't there be some boiling
And flying from the course,
When the Locos see the running
OF our gallant Old White Horse?

A bllow caught it hastily;
Another biliow quickly came
Successfully the prize to claim;
From wave TO wave, unchecked, it passed,
Till tossed upon the strand at last;

Those golden moments we deplore;

Night win for us eternal day.

who frequently boosted, with great apparent salts

Gen. Taylor, that he is mighty able" to do his
own writing; and we guess one Of the special
friends and favortes Of MIR. Polk-the same who
had his permit TO pass the blockade at Vera Cruz
and for whom the $4,000 600 appropriation was in
tended, could tell if called on. that he can do his
own fighting, even under tho greatest disadvan,s

EVILS OF HAVING ONES LIFE SAvED.-Moral
writers, from Solomon downward, have laid much
stress the danger of being under obligation :;
and their cautions seem well founded. 1t is plea
SAINT to have good actions done us; but not if we
are to be increasingly reminded of them and the
gratitude we owe. A friend Of ours was saved
from drowning by person with whom he was
slightly acquainted. OF course he thanked his de-
liverer profoundly. Ever afterward the philan-
throphic gent stuck to him like burr. He chung
to him like the Old Man of the Sea to Sinbard the
Sailor. He dogged and haunted him at every step,
constantly asking favors on the plea that he had
saved his life. Our friend bore this with philosoph-
ic equanimity for long while, only now and then
invariably cursing mis- lluck in being pulled out of
the water. At last, being asked one day for the
five hundreth time, "Wel, Jones, you'll stand
treat to-day, 'spose-saved your life, you know %
Our friend lost all patience, and in voice which
made the fellows hair stick up like the freted
porcupine's ''brohe down" upon him as follows =
eyes, sir, ,ciH treat, this time, and the last,
though have paid that debt twice over, long ago.
But, sir, mark me! if ever you catch me drown
ing again. let me sink-let me go, hook and line,

The LAsr.-It is now fashionable to say and to
write, Congress are in session. In former times,
when there more unanimity in that now wrang-
ling body, John Randolph, Senator Robbins, and
the best scholars of the day, wrote Congress is in
session." but now, the times are altered and as
Democratic Senate, and Wing House Of Repre-
sentatives, are two distinct bodies, with distinct in
terests and distinct objects, it is proper say Con-
gress are in session.
