SERVICE ANDERING NGS.
BY AN OFFICER OF ARTILLERY.
A Front View Of ChurubusCO.

The victory-sudden, unique, complete-had
exhilarated us like champagne the morning
sun, as he ascended to his meridian throne,
warmed and dried us; the little shops which
We found upon the high road, furnished bread
and drink; and the Parthian-like shots from
the rear-guard of the retreating army, seemed
but an impromptu fett-de3oie in honour of our
success. An occasional halt, to rest, as Mexican
speed, winged by fear, increased the distance
between us, gave us opportunity to speculate
upon what was in our front
Il wonder" says one, "what We are going
to do now?''
Did any one ever learn anything by wonder

soldiers are oracular.

and in two hours, the event which had cast
its shadow upon his spirit had transpired: he
was rigid corpse.
"Why, B" exclaimed; "why do you
wish it were over, so dolefully Pit IS over:
they are scared to death, and are on such a
trot-out now, that they will run through Mex
leo without stopping to look behind"
"Heigh-ho!" and he heaved deep sigh !;

RSg@ As the chambermaid of n steamboat was
leaving the ladies' cabin, old lady requested
her to shut the door, as she had caught such o
bad cold at Detroit, she was nearly dead. AT
this moment, very phthisical old lady in a
berth near the door, forbade the girl to shut it,
on account of her shortness of breath. '.Shut
it or I'll fie!'' cried one ssLeave it open or FL
smother gasped the other As the war waxed
warm a traveller in the next cabin became so
annoyed by the dispute, that he thrust his head
out of his berth, exclaiming-" In Heavens
name, open that door till the Detroit lady dies
of her cold, and then close it till the other one
smothers to death"

Wing Harmony.

; The Savannah (Georgia) Republican, the lead
ing Whig organ of that State, thus discourses
in relation to the nominations made by the late
Wing convention in this State The editor fully
comprehends the position of the two distinguish
cd candidates -
"Candor requires us to say to our northern
brethren once for all, that they may nominate
Gen. Scott, land possibly elect him, though we
doubt it, but that party at the south can
take any part either in his nomination or cleo
ton. Not one Southern State would cast Its
vote for him, except, perhaps Kentucky, and We
hope she would not. Either Mr.. Fillmore, Gen.
Cass, Mr. Webster, Mr. Buchanan, Mr.. Douglas
or Mr.. Butler, would carry every other State
against him. We need not say, Wings as we
hare been and Constitution Union men as We
now are, that we should rejoice at It, liz may
be replied, we know, that General Scott VIII
abide by and enforce the compromise measures.
But the fact that he comes forward under the
auspices of Mr.. Seward, of New York, and Gov.
Johnston, of Pennsylvania-in neither OF whom
the south has one particle of condolences
enough to damn him to utter defeat In this sec
ton of the confederacy. The south can never
cooperate with party in which such dema-
rogues and malcontents are officiating priests
They both claim to be Union men, just as their
co-laborers in this latitude do; and yet they
lend all their influence to the stirring up OF
strife and revolution"

BGT A deep sensation has been produced ut
Rome by the suicide of the keeper of Vatican
Library, aged prelate, MOnsignor Moltza.-
This ecclesiastic held an office which is general
ly accompanied by the red hat, and had been
for years a professor in the Roman University,
pre-eminent above the rest for extensive ac
quirements He was between sixty and seventy
years old, and it would appear that perfect de-
liberation presided over the fatal act, He cody
wrote his reasons, which may be summed up in
disgust and discomfort at the proceedings of
the Papal court" A razor was the instrument
of self-destruction.

DGF q Gentlemen of the jury" said wes-
tern lawyer, 81 don't mean TO insinuate that
this man is a eovetous person but L will bet FIVE
to one, that if you would bait a steel trap with
a new three cent piece and place it within six
inches from his mouth you would catch his soul.
| wouldn't for a moment insinuate that he will
steal, but may it please the court, gentlemen of
the jury wouldn't trust him in a room with
red hot millstones, and the Angel Gabriel to
watch them.

THE CHANGE-SEEKER.
BY CALDER CAMPBELL
Who TO unknown lands would wander,
Having health and hope at homer
From the spot where he abldeth
Wherefore should the happy roam7
Love-like ivy to the ruin
Cliuge,h where it hath been bred;
Peace OF mind forbds ambition,
With its schemes to vex the head.
IT'S the spirit, disappointed
In its wayward hopes aud cares,
That Tor novel pleasures seeketh
Foreign shores and new-despaIrs;
Meeting, meath the alien sunshine,
For the treasures missed at hume,
Panys that iret the weary body,
JOYS that %, and grief that come.
"Give me change!" the morbid spirit
Caileth, with voice that tells
How its inner sense hath suffered
From the worlds pernicious spells;
"Give changes, give me changes,
friendships new, aud new desresi
would Oot from memOry's pages
Thoughts that scorch like levers hrrs.
"For the fields where roved my childhood.
Give me scenes that have no look
OF the garden, or the wild wood
Where l studied first Loves book.
Fell each tree that mid those forests
Gave me shelter from the sun;
In their stead plant stranger foliage,
Meath whose shade new rivers run"'
So says--the Disappointed
Tired and fretted, soured and palledi
Wishing still for alterations,
FInoIng fears that come uncalied.
Those who have no wish to wander
(Lapped in ease, aud rich in healthy
Look with wonder at the longings
That can ne'er be quenched by wealth
There is sorrow in the knowledge
That the gayest heart may find,
Ere the head hath gathered snow drift,
Fresh desires to haunt the mind;
But the loved, the loving, healthy,
Hold alone contents true gem;
What they know, ana what they live in,
That is all the world to them.
