The lip forget its old familiar smile,
And feelings ihit with honest lcrvor glow
Assume, ere long, the hateful mark OF guile.
A dark, mysterious destiny feel,
That bids my nobler prompting rs all he still ;

But picture me n, nn life's ea'll morn,
When side by side our lives together ran.

So let my evening years in darkness rest

PEACE AND WAR.-The cost of the Erie
Railroad is equal to that of about six months
fighting the Mexcans. Just look at the diff
ference in the permanent effect, The lasting
Influence of the two expenditures. The ef-
feet of the first has been to excite a spirit OF
res,essnpss and lawlessness which is now
manifested in the Cuban enterprise, and i'll
other equally discredtable undertakings
Tae effect Of the latter will be TO increase
the comforts of life, to redeem a wilderness
to cultivation, to unite a great people, to
advance the civilization Of great country
We DO not speak now of the immediate ef
fects of the crimes the blood, the demorali-
zation. the untold and inconceivable horrors
of war, but of the permanent and remote
effect. If the same amount Of money that
has been spent in the world, during the first
half OF this century, in the arts of destruc-
tion, could for the remaining half be srent

CUBA.-Some of the newspapers are
busy in displa, ing the charms and landing
the treasures of this beautiful Island, while
they are eloquent in deploring its fate under
the wthering power of tyranny. They tell
us very gravcly that it was discovered by
Columbus in 1892, and that all its original
inhabitants 200, 900 j have been EXTERN
mated. Is ha, any good reason why this
Government should sahugate il, and ex
terminate 200, 900 more people They tell
MS it is one Of the most delicious spots on
the earth. Is that any reason that we should

its present doom of double bondage but
thai is no reason why Americans should turn

Mexico and the United States - The
Tehuantepec Route

The recent rejection oi the Tehuaniepec

annnlmeni of tie Garay Grant, were items
of news chronicled as they came ic hand,
The treatment of the treaty was, ol course,
legitimate, through The spirit which dictated

which will doubtless attract the attention

The history OF The Garay Grant is, in
hrirf, as follows I'm 1912, Jose de Garay
ash ed the American Government for a right
Of way across the lsthmus Of Tchuante-
uec, for the establishment Of iUler-oceanic
communication. Santa Anna, then Presi-
dent, granted the request, giving certain
privileges and requiring certain conditions.
Soon after this, waste lands were placed IN
Garays possession by the Government, in
accordance with lis concessions, and an es
tension of year granted for The com
mencement of The work. Everything TO
| his point WAS in good faith and without
| flaw. The difficulties with the United

Second Love.

First love is pretty romance,
Though not SO lasting as rcckoncd:
For when ones awake from its trance,
There's great stock Of hiss in the second
And cen should the second suhsde,
A lover should never despair;
For the world is uncommonly wide,
And the women uncommon,y fair.
The poets their rapture may tell,
Who never were put TO The test,
A first love is all very well,
But believe me, the last loves the best

ITO THE PUBLlC.-We the undersigned, hav
i ing crossed Nicaragua, en- route from Cali
fornia 10 New York, under the impression and
solemn assurance OF the agents of the line that II
quicker and moro desirable than that by Pa
mama; and having found il SO entirely different,
having suffered great detention, loss, and expo
sure, deem il duty TO the public TO make
known the facts. The steamer Independence, in
which we left San Francisco, brought down more
than double the number of passengers she could
accommodate, and more than double the number
the agent represented as having taken passage on
her. The boat, too, is an unfit and unsafe sea-
boat. The consequence was, that our passage TO
San Juan del Sud was one of great danger and suf-
fering.
we confidently expected, on arriving at San Ju-
del Sud. TO be provided with transportation for
ourselves and baggage Immediately, as we had
been led to believe that the transit would not re-
quire more than forty eight hours. We found,
however, that the agent had not provided animals,
and could not procure them; so that after remain
ing two days, many of the passengers set OFT on
foot, under the assurance that their baggage would
be forwarded to thern, and that the steamer would
not leave Panama without il. We found the road
to Lake Nicaragua nearly impracticable, and the
distance, instead of being twelve miles, many Of
US had to travel thirty. The boats on the lake and
river very small and unfit for passengers and,
although packed like slave ships, could not take
half of the passengers We were without food, and
exposed to violent rains. On the seventh day
reached San Juan del Norte, and forced to
come away at once in the Prometheus Not more
than one half the passengers of the Independence
have been able to get through; the remainder.
some two hundred, being left on the route with the
specie, and nearly all the baggage. We were most
uncivilly received and miserably provided for on
board the Prometheus. In consequence, we left
her at Havana, and by the kindness OF Captain
Schenck received on board the Ohio.
II is not necessary to give detailed account of
the annoyances to which we have been subjected
by the Misrepresentation and insoence of agents,
the want of food and room, the loss of baggage
and unexpected delay; it ia enough to express our
hat thn nnFf
and in the present condition of the roads, and the
present means Of transportation, the Panama route
is preferable to that by Nicaragua.
In conclusion, we beg to return our thanks to
Captain Schenck, of the steamship Ohio, for the
courteous treatment we have received from him
during our boiserous passage, and particularly
for receiving on board, as it was contrary, we
informed, to his instructions to receive passen
gers from the opposition line.
