The thin veil of specious pretexts by which the
Administration has attempted to conceal its real
purposes In The further prosecution of the war is
rapidly fading away and the monstrous design of
absorbing all Mexico, with its eight or nine mil
lions OF hostile population, begins now to stand
forth without disguise.

the declaration that idea was entertained of the
extlngushment of Mexican nationality now speaks

LEAP YEAR.-Our readers are aware, we pre-
sumo, that the year we have just entered is Leap
Year. Every fourth year contains, by the calendar,
500 days, one day being added to the month OF
February. The Calendar of the Roman Emperor,
Julian, made the year three hundred and sixty five
and one-ourth days. 1t was found, however, there
were some minutes less, which in the course of
centuries had made difference in the astronomical
equinox OF about 10 days. Pope Gregory XIII, in
1889, corrected this error by suppressinG 10 DAVIS
in the GALE nda'; and TO prevent such discrepancy
in future, he established the rule Of adding one day
every four years. This is why it is called Leap
Year.

ONLY THIS ONCE.
by MRS. sIGouRNEY,

Comfy THIS ONCE )" the wine cup glowed
All sparkling with its ruby ray,
The bacchanalian revel flowed,
And folly made the madness gay.
Then he, so oft, so deeply warned,
The sway of conscience rashly spurned.
His promise of repentance scorned,
And coward like to guilt returned.
"Only This once ;" the tale is told,
He wildly quaffed the poisonous tide;
With more than Esau's frenzy sold
The brth-right Of his soul, and died.
do not say that breath forsook
The clay, and lief, his pulses dead,
But reason in her empire shook,
And all the life Of life was fled.
Then angel eyes with pity wept,
When he, whom virtue fan would save,
His sacred VOW so falsely kept,
And strangely chose drunkard's grave.
"Only this once" Beware! beware!
Gaze not upon the blushing wine;
Repel temptations siren snare,
And prayerfu seek for strength divine.
