THE FATE OF MILITARY MEN

medicines. Two years ago, a number OF brave
men-bo,h Americans and Me1icans-met to-
gelher on the battle field, as il anxious 10 die
They rushed against each other, sword in hand,
up to The cannon's mouth, and turiousy sormed
the high turreted citadel, in The midst of rockets,
bullets and death; and, strange 10 say, They es.
capped the death they SO bravely faced; and The
war being ended they returned home, covered With
military glory. But so soon as they were COM
fortably settled al home, and sough, no longer 10
die, death began to single them out, and they
dropped off one by one. First among The Anne.
rieans, General Worth died. Then the Mexi-
caus, a. If determined mol TO be behind with us,
followed the example, and General Pared,s, The
author Of the war, died. Then, on our side, The
brave Colonel Duncan dice; and then on the
Mexican side, General Urea. Then General
Gaines died among US, and then General Rejou
among the Mexicans. Then, again. Maj. Gaes
died here; and then, General Don Manuel Rim.
con did there This is, as TAR as We are informs
ed. the last of them. General Rincon was al the
banie OF Churubusco, where he fought bravely.-
He had been Governor OF several Mexican
States, and was much regretted. This general
death among Generals and military men, since
peace was concluded, is singular, and The reci>
procily OF these deaths is somewhat singular, toe;

MY NATIVE VILLAGE.
BIZ BRYANT,

There lies a village In peaceful vale,
With soping hills and waving woods around,
Fenced from the blasts. There never Tudsr gale
Bows the tall grass that covers all the ground,
And planted shrubs are there, and cherished no"ef
And bright verdure born Of gentle showers.
Twas there my young existence was begun,
Ny earliest sports were on its hs~ery green
And often when my schoo!boy task was done,
climbed its halls - view the pleasant scene;
And stood and gazed I'LL the suns setting ray
shnne on the height-the speeiest OF the day.
And when tho woods put on their autumn glow,
And the bright sun came In among the trees;
And leaves were gathered in tho glen below,
Swept softly from the mountain by the breeze,
wandered TIL the starlight on he stream
At length awoke me from my fairy dream.
All! happy days, too happy TO return,
Fled on the wings Of youths departed years,
A bitter lesson has been niue 10 learn,
The trsta Of life, It's labors, pains and fears;
Yet does the memory Of my boyhood stay;
Wight Of the brightness pass'd away.
My thoughts steal back to that sweet village stil
Its flowers and peaceful shades before me rise;
Tho play place and the prospect from the hill,
Its summers verdure, and autumna dyes;
The brings its storms; but while they last,
I sheiter mo In the delightful past

BY REV. c. w. BETHUkE.
Altar from thee! The morning breaks,
Bur morning brings noJoys to me;
Alas my spirit only wakes
To know that | am far from thee!
In dreams | saw that blessed face,
And thou vert nestled m my breast;
In dreams felt thy fond embrace,
And TO my own thy heart was pressed.
Afar from thee TITS solitude,
Though smiling crowds around me be-
Tho kind, the beautiful, the good
For can only think Of thoe.
or thee, the kindest, loveliest, best,
My earliest, and my only one;
Without thee, am all unbiest,
And wholly blest with thee alone.
Afar from thee! The words of praise
My listlcss ear unheeded greet;
What sweetest seemed In better days,
Without thee, seems no longer sweet;
Tho dearest JOY fame can bestow,
Is In Thy moistened eye to see,
And In thy cheeks unusual glow,
Thou deem'st ME not unworthy thee.
Afar from thee The night is come,
But slumbers from my pillow flee;
l cannot rest so far from home,
And my hearts home Is, love, with thee
kneel before the throne ofprayer,
And then know that thou art nigh:
For God, who seeth everywhere,
Bends on us both his watchful eye.
Together in Ills love embrace,
No distance can our hearts divide,
Forgotten quite the mediate space,
Ikneel thy kneeiing form beside;
My tranquil frame then sinks 10 sleep,
But scars the spirit far and free;
o welcome be nights slumbers deep
For then, dear love, am With thee 1!
