plaques and contagion might destroy men and
animals if these violent agitations of the air did
not render it more pure and sOubrious. Thus
we find the Almighty, whether he visits us in
tempests or smiles upon US in serenity, is alike
the Father and Banetactor of the creation; and
every time we hear the winds blow over our
heads, let US acknowledge his goodness, and re-
fleet with gratitude on the wisdom of his gov
eminent. The Lord taketh the winds from the
four corners of heaven, and bringeth them from
the extremties of the earth; he malketh out the
paths through which they should proceed, regu
lates their boundaries, and bids them to cease
when they have fulfilled his purpose. Why
then should we fear or be troubled when his
messengers execute his commands? Though
the tempest should howl around me, the earth
tremble, the rocks be rent in twain, and dark
ness obscure the face of nature, / will not be
disturbed, .he;they viii + be teaified; but VIII

on the bosom of Him who rules and governs the
universe, who dirccteth the winds and poneth
out to the stars their course.

Winds and Tempesls.

How violently the air is agitated Hark. how
the wind whistles above and now swels in
louder blast See how the dark clouds gather,
and then whirl along with fearful switness =
The uplifted oaks strew the ground, which shake
as they fall; and see those wretched huts borne
aloft by the blast, their scattered fragments tos.
song in giddy eddes The clouds open, and
deluge the earth with the descending torrent
Perhaps at this moment some luckless bark is
riding in the storm at the mercy of the winds :;
above, the loud blasts roars, and all around is
darkness the waves now meet the clouds, then
roll back, and discover the gulf threatening in
slant destruction The earstruck mariners
have now no hopes; they think of their far dis
tant homes, and with wild horror view the wave,
in which, as it rolls on like vast mountain
they read their final doom. But why does the
beneficent Creator thus permit the winds to
track their course over the seas and the earth
with desolation and destruction? Mad question
Who has the temerty and the arrogance to dare
10 censure and pronounce judgment upon the
Almighty, or to question his proceedings? Let
us rather consider his ways in silence, and feel
persuaded, from what we know of Ium, that they
are always beneficial Though the tempest and
the whrlwind often speak in terror and shake
the earth; though they cause devastation, and
make the ships on the seas to be splintered a
gainst the rocks or entombed in the deep; tho
houses are overthrow, and men and animals
are swept away, still we have no right to arraign
the DEGREES of Providence, which are written in
wisdom and uttered in mercy. These storms
and tempests are to answer great and important
purposes in nature. At the return of spring, a
humid and mild air sotlens the earth, which, du
ring the winter, had remained hardened. By
this change of temperature, the atmosphere often

Why wilt thou turn SO perverseIy to gaze

MISE not forever on that which annoys
Shut not thine eyes to the beauties around thee
Look at the bright side Mankind, it is true,
Have their failings, nor should they be spoken

But why on their faults concentrate thy view,
Forgetting their virtues which shine forth SC

Look at the bright side And it shall impart

Rejecting lis own brilliant lines on thy heart,
As the sunbeams that mirror themselves i'll the

THE WOUNDEDEUERILLA,
SKETCH OF THE IE CAMPAIGN.
BY MAYNE lEID.

THE city of Puebla lies a the centre of an
immense plateau, seven thouand feet above sea
level, and bordered by moptains of more than
twice this altitude. Malirci, rendered classic
in the history OF the first conquest, rises on the
north; the Pinal bars up the eastern passes,
while the great Cordlera b the Rio Frio forms
its western boundary, thus separating the two
great valleys of Puebla AND Mexico by an al
most impossible barrier i this ridge lie the
great snow mountains of Ppecaepec and the
White Woman" la muger Alanca,) known po-
etcally as the Twin Sister"
These mountains soar fat,bove the regions of
eternal snow. PopocatepeG IS cone, and the
gray fringe that marks the Pending of the white
glancier and the dark pinesIG the mountain for.
est, forms the circumference of horizontal cir
Gle. On the White Wouiaa this snow line is
more irregular. On both mountains its altitude
is variable, according to the eason and heat of
the sun. Thus the meltIn3 u .he SHOWS in the
sultry months of summer ths&s the gray fringe
higher up the sides of Popocotepec and Ixtci-
huath, and rrigates the broad plains of Puebla
and Tlascalla.
But for these snow-coYereunountaip the MIA.
teau of Pueba would be barren desert. As il
is, the western segment Of this plain may be
termed the Garden spot of Mexico
As the traveller energies from the western cate
of Puebla, he beholds one Of the Ioyeliest pic

"And fhe did," exclaimed the elder sister,
while her dark eyes flashed with indignation,

never told him | did-he has no right to me more

AT this moment a footstcp reached the ears of
the sisters, causing them to start and look up.
A young man of rather forbiddng appear
ance was coming up between the rows of mag
ueys. He was dressed in the costume of an or.
binary peasant, but the short carbine which he
carried over his shoulder, and the belt and pouch
slung across his breast belokened that he was
one of the enrolled guerillas, whose head-quar-
tiers were for the time in the village of Cholua
The young man entered through the opening

exclamation for that hour buenos tardes p (good

showed that she felt a GOODNESS, or rather a re.
pugnance toward the object of 1t.
Pope 1.-THE name of the lntruder,) noticed this
and glared upon her with scowl which bespoke
a strange blending of fierce love with jealous

Shortly after leaving the village they met an
Indian woman coming from the direction of the
city, driving an ass. This woman informed the
sisters that there had been a severe skirnsh near
the garita between the gueras and the guard,
in which the former had been Defeated and scat
tered. The guard had got information by some
means of the intended attack, and had sent to
Pueba for a reinforcement Of mounted men
which had arrived just in time by a circuit
GUS route, and had attacked the guerllas in the
rear, so that only few of them escaped from
either death or capture.
The sisters had scarcely bid adieu to the In.
dian woman, when on reaching turn in the
road they came upon one of the guerillas, seat
ed upon a stone.
A handkerchief was bound abound his head
his face, pale and haggard, was spotted with
blood, and there was look of wild revenge in
his eye as he recognized the approach of the
two girls.
They were at first alarmed on perceiving whom
they had encountered, for it was Pope who was
before them, but when they saw that the guerilla
was wounded, and apparently suffering, in the
true spirit of womanly compassion both the
young girls ran up to him and inquired what they
could do to assist him.
This appeared for moment to soften the Bit
ter spirit of the wounded man, and in manner
of more tenderness than he usually exhibited, he
requested one Of them to bring him glass Of
water, while the other rebound the handkerchief
upon his wound.
The elder sister Immediately ran to fulfill his
request while Dolores remained alone with the
guerilla.
She unbound the handkerchief with tender
care, and had commenced readjusting it, when
the sudden trampling of horses hoofs was heard
and before the wounded man had time to es.
cape half dozen rangers came galoping up
the road.
The guerilla had seized his carbne, and was
making foc the chapparal, when one of his pur.
suers called at him to halt and they would spare
him. Seeing the impossibility of escape, the
man turned suddenly round and doggedy ap
preached the party of rangers, who had halted
upon the road.
At tbs moment Remedies returned, and re
cognizing one OF the rangers, with an excama
ton of delight called out

The President Of France.

The new President is certainly wearing his
houors with dignity and grace and desire for
a permanent government is evidently gaining
ground under his peaceful sway. The fierce
passions and the wild effervcsence generated
during the sway of Louis Blame, Lamartne &
Co.. is subsiding into desire for some firm rule
with an extension of the electoral system, and
Other necessary reforms, and it is evidently the
aim of President Bonapart to re-establish the
Empire. The new Legislature, which is to as
assemble in May, will probably settle the ques-
ton, ind great efforts were making, when the
last mails left France, by the different political
parties in order to secure the election of their
candidates.
Meanwhile the President reviews the troops,
visits the Exchange, distributes blankets to the
poor subscribes to charity funds, and gives large
Balls. A graphic account of ono of his enter
tainment, will be found In the following fragment
of letter from our Paris correspondent, received
