THE MEXICAN.

His country is subject to frequent revolu-
tons, when his property is liable 10 be taken
by force by the beligerent parties; beside
the imposition of forced loans, causing con-
tinual fear in the minds of those who have
money the authorities Of the States set the
general laws at defence, thus giving rise to
continual recamations, interrupting the bu-
siness of running the citizen, before re-
dress is obtained the laws are not thorough.

Ants.
TULLY TEsTY,

Few insects are more difficulty to exter-
inmate than the little red ants with which
many houses are infested. They may be
kept UNDER by frequent scalding with boil
ing water, the cracks and places from which
they issue. To smear tho cracks of the
closets between the shelves and the walls
with corrosive sublimate will destroy them ;
but as it is a deadly poison, ii must be used
with caution. Dishes and jars containing
articles that the ants seem to like should be
set in pans of salt and water, and the pan
should be surrounded witk nng of salt.
If they infest :he sideboard, let the feet be
set constantly in Tin or iron cups filled with
salt and water.
A circle of Tar spread around each foot OF
the bench that holds the hives, will preyont
ants from reeching the boes and destroying
the honey. y.

THE BACHELORS BRIDAL,

Not laugh was heard, nor Joyous note,
AS our friend TO the bridal we hurried
Not wit discharged his FAREWELL shot,
. At the Benedict just 10 be married
We married him quickly, TO save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning,
And we sighed as we stood by the lamps

To think he was no more descermnr-
To think that bachelor. free and bright
And shy OF the girls as we found him,
Should here by the altar, at dead OF night,
BE caught in the snare that bound him
Few and short wero the words we said,
Though we heartily ate of tho cakes
Then escorted him home from that scene of
And thouSht-how AwFuLLY he shakes
We thought as we grouped his lowly bed
With the flowers, the birch and the willow
How the shovel and broomslick would break
DER his head,
And the tears he would shed Oh his pillow
Said he, "They will talk of their friend who
has gome---
And every old Bach will upraid me;
But nothing reck |, if they let mo dream on,
Meath the coverlet, just as they've laid

But half of our weary task was done
Ere the clock lolled the hour for the other,
And we left with the hope ulat the faio he
had won
