THE BATTLE OF LIFE.

THE BATTLE OF LIFE.
BY GEO. w. ROGERS.
There are ties that must be broken,
If it wringS the heart to bear;
There are words that must be spoken,
Hard to utter they are.
There are hearts that never falter,
BE times changes what they may;
There are those that cannot alter,
Until life shall fade away.
There are high and holy feelings,
TREASURED deep within thy soul,
Ana amid Its bright revealings
May poson'd waters roll.
The bright world is before thee,
All its sunny spots thine;
Let no shadow e'er come o'cr thee,
AS its joys around thee twine.
Then, wherever duty call thee,
Go, while youth Is in thy heart,
And whatever fate befalls thee,
Thou shalt only bear q part.
THE FIRE SIDE HINT.
1t is pleasant to sit with ones wife,
by the light of a brilliant taper,
While ones dear companion for life
Looks over the family paper
And now and then reads song story,
marriage or death, or a tragedy CORY.
To feel that ones nothing to do
But sit and philosophize gravely,
Each murlerous deed to cschew,
Appiaudmc the editor brarey
For his tact ami his talent, his taste and his shears,
Now waking to laughter, now moving to tears.
Oh, how happy the man who is blest
With wife who can tasterully read,
Who Will give q newspaper no rest
Till Its items all gone to seed
Who excalms, now and then She pricks up the taper
My dear, won't the printer want PAY for his paper

for possession of those regions with a
view to their ultimate annexation TO the

It is now stated that agents of the
Mexican Government have arrived in this
country authorized to sell to the United
States those two provinces with Chihua-
hua in addition. BY the means it is said
Mexico hopes TO RECRUIT her finances, and
last little longer.
We do no: suppose that the present

proposals. whether coming from the tri-
umpllant invaders and revolutionists, or
from the bankrupt Government of Mexi-
CO. But their refusal IS by no means GER
