oantd anna 10 MEXICO, from Oellef that |
he was disposed to promote, and might
have Influence enough with his country
men, to effect termination of the war,
and it occurred to him that the Mysterious
message might have been really designed
to open the way for negotiation, and per-
haps pacification~ an object ever near
to his heart. He rode over the field in
search of General Wool, made known the
circumstances to him, and suggested, ifI
not too great a personal exposure. the ex-
pediency of carrying flag to the Mexican
lines to ask an explanation of the message
To send an officer OF his rank, character
and position, would remove the indisnity,
if it should be so regarded, of his blunt
and summary answer. General Wool
readily and eallantly undertook the ser
| vice, and rode forth to execute il, but the
fire of the Mexican batteries could not
again be stopped and no further parley
took place. The next morning, when
Colonel Bliss was sent with flag to the
Mexican Headquarters, he was requested
to ascertain what had been intended by
the message of the previous day, but he
found the state Of things such as to render
it vain to enter upon the subject. The
import Of the message remains unriddled
TO this day. Santa Anna can undoub,ed-
ly solve the enigma.
In the conversation from which | de-
rived these interesting items of informa-
tion, General Taylor described 10 me the
anxious consultations of the second night
OF the battle. His officers came to him
one after another, expressing decided
opinion that his army was too much
broken to be brought up to the struggle
another day. He declared to them his be.
lief that, dreadfully as his forces had suf.
iered, the enemy had suffered worse, thai
retreat or any other alternative was en-
,irely out of the question, that he har
made his arrangements to present, still,

strange phennmenon which was witnessed
at Two Heart River, 20 miles above The

of the water OF Lake Superior was noticed
and very soon the land rose out OF The wa

circumference, and some six feet high
The beach also rose some IL feet, looking
like hi!ock of sand. The water was
only about five feet deep where the island
was formed, and boat had just passed
over it. A few rods from the beach a de-

No noise took place. A party OF Indians
encamped near, were terrified and He'd

DEATH IS SrLESr.-In the city, while

chambers, and friends sit pallid by the

looks spoke to us in life, pass from our
sigh, as the shadow from the dial, and the
music Of their words become sad echoes
in the distance of our memory. Death Is
silent. Living hatred ,hunders in the
strife of war, bnt when the contest is over
Death, grim and speeches., is monarch OF
the field. Death is silent. Iempes's

they who sink with this requium into their
fathomless grave; but from the depths o'
that sublime Sepuchre, no sound comes
back to tell those who persisted. Death

the ear, but not always to the heart :; our
brethren are stll bound to us, and though
they have not ceased to be. There Is

Humility has instruction from the pr'u'

the vanity that overlies bis clay: There

Reveal thy face III mercy mild.
The trusting eye looks up to Thee,
Where are thy tender mercies? wheref
Through tears of unseen agony,
Goes up the mute appealing prayer.
To waste the silent nj hit in tears,
Slow passing, as funeral bell;
To weep away the ioyless years-
To weep-but never to rebel:
To count my wasted treasures o'er
Know ALI is lost-yet not repine-
To see the sun, to smile no more
Oh! what mourIfu! doom is mine!
Yet spare, Oh! spare thy trembling child,
Thou! ever merciful, as just
Forever from thy face cxild,
Cast out, and trodaen to the dust.
The broken heart yet looks to Thee!
Dares yet the Comforter imrlnre;
Sees Him-ana Oh exults to see.
Who once our cross Of suffering bore.
Oh! light are all my sorrows now,

THE OLD FARMER,S ELEGY.

BY THE ssPEAsANr BARD..'
On green grassy Knoll, by the banks Of the brook
That so long and so often has watered his flock;
The old farmer rests in his long and last sleep,
While the waters a low lapsing lullaby keep;
He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped his
last grain;
The bluc-bird sings sweet on the gay maple bough,
Its warble oft cheered him while holding the plow;
Andthe robins above him hop light on the mould,
For ne fedthem with crumbs when the season was
He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped his
last grain;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
Yon tree that with fragrance is filling the air,
So rich with its blossoms. so thrifty and fair,
BY his own hand was planted, and well did ne say
It would live when its planter had mouldered away:
He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped has
last grain;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
There's the well that he dug, its waters cold,
With its wet dripping bucket, SO messy and old,
No more from its depths by the patriarch drawn,
For ssthe pitcher is brOken''-the old man is gone
He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped his
last grain;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
And the seat where he sat by his own cottage door,
In the still summer ewes, when his labors were
o'er;
With his eye on the moon, his pipe in his hand,
Dispensing his truths like sage of the land;
He has ploughed his last furrow, has Ieaped his
last grain;
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
'Twas gloom-eiving day when the old farmer died
| The stout-hearted mourned, the afectonate cried
Aud the prayers of the just for his rest did ascend
| For they all lost a Brother. Man, and Friend:
| He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped his
| last gram; ~
No morn shall awake him to labor again.
| For upright and honest the old farmer was;
| His God he revered, he respected the laws;
| Though fameless he lived, he has gone where hi
worth
Will outshine, like pure gold all the dross Of thi
earth.
He has ploughed his last furrow, has reaped hi
| last grain;
| No morn shall awake him to labor again.
