less, day by day. Whether IL be that they are
carried of by Indian murders and other casualties
incident TO the country, or vhet9 Of it be that they
voluntarily withdraw from spot go illgoyerned
and protected, is beyond my ken TO say. Perhaps
both causes are in active operation But New
Mexico is only small portion Of vast and unfor-
tlnate region Of our continent. Ever since the
acquisition OF Mexican Independence, that corrupt
ana ignorant people have been undergoing pro-
cess OF rapid decline, and, in the northern part OF
the republic, of rapid annihllstion. At the break

SIR Under the head Cor rather over it) OF" Mu-

"great Hungarian" and a benign smile and ex-
pressivc nod from the amiable spoues Of those per

! beg, as an observer, to enter my unqualified
protest against that account, as being erroneous in
the extreme and ingeniously calculated to propa-
gate wrong idea of this " signal" interview; and,
If you will allow nae, shall point out, respectfully,
the reasons on which base my dissent.
You observe, after administering little philip

New York (Which nettles me little, as hailing
from that city,, that the Indian chiefs visited l. M
This is not correct, as the meeting, as have be-

The unpronouncable cognomen given her as you
state, by the chiefs, has been first given to the

You are not correctly informed as to the tribes
to which these chiefs belong ! shall enlighten you.

WALNuTs FAMILY MEDIoINE.-EFgfy
body eats walnutS; everybody knows how to
make pickle of walnnts; few, however, know
the medical virtues Of walnuts. Now, the
fact is. walnuts, when properly prepared, are
an excellent medicine and Alternative, and this
is the way to prepare them:-Get the walnuts
fit for picking, put them in stone jar filled
up with sugar, in the proportion Of half a
pound to a score Of Walnuts; place the jar in
saucepan of boiling water, for about three
hours, taking care that the water does not get
in, and keep it simmering during the opera
tion. The sugar, when dissolved Should cover
the walnuts; and if it does not, and more,
cover it close, and in Six months, il will be fit
for use, the older it gets the better it is. One
walnut is dose for child six years Of age,
as a purgative; and it has this great advantage
over drugs, that while it is an excellent med
icine, it is, at the same time, very pleasant to
palate, and will be esteemed by the young
folks as a treat.-N 7. CHitieai0r.

LINES ON THE DEATH OF WEBSTER.


Prom out old Oceans broad and heaVing breast
There comes wall Profound
And now on autumn Winda, from East 70 Wesl
Il pours iis diEge like sound.
From all New England's sheavsn-polnting spires
Poals forth the moumful bell,
And like the music OF Thousand chOiTs,
Their plaintiff ehimings swell.
New Hampshirs's giant mountains all are hung
In Heavens dark drapey,
And O'er our Eagleis path clOud Is hung,
That drives him ffom the sky.
Past BY the aItars that our fathers laid,
A Nation pours her grief,
And round the brow OF weeping man and maid,
Is wreathed the cypress leaf.
For loi the GREAr AMEKfeAR Is gone,
Gone from his pen and shield,
And now the Constitution stands alone
His pen no hand can WELD.
Well may old Ocean lift his plaintive cry,
And autumn winds their wall:
Well may the bells with echoes al the sky,
The hills their tops unveiL
Well may our Eagle pause amid his flight,
And oil the People weep;
For be who climbed the Nations proudest height
IsWnpped In Deaths cold sleep.
Yes, weepl Butwhile our eountry's allAFs last,
Or stars shall gem The sea,
The name Of wEBSrER, like the trumpet's blast,
Shall hencelorth be
glorious WatehWOrd to the Free,
The hhrbingar OF Victory.

RATHER AN OLD RINa.---At the meeting Of
the New York Historical Society, on Wed6es-
day, the following incident occurred;
DR.. Abbott: an English physician, twenty
years a resident Of Cairo, was introduced By
Mr.. Frederick DePeyster, the first Vice Pres
ideHt. Mr.. DePeysteF submitted to the SoEi-
ETY. wax impressions OF very anoiHRt sold
ring, found BY an Arab lab0Fef near the gIeat
Pyramid Of Cheops. The ring weighed about
three English soYefeigns. The tomb near
which it was found was that ola high priest.
Professor Lepsius, CheVslier Banson, Mr.. r.
S. Poole, Rev. ]. Leader, Of Cairo, aud other
distinguished Egyptian scholars agreed in
considering this ring authentic, and place its
date three thousand years before Christ. The
beauty Of the hieroglyphic symbols engraved
upon its oval face could not be surpassed.
The delicacy and sharpness Of the etching
could only be properly seen by a microscope.
Itwas doubtless the royal signet, and was in
keeping Of the high priest; and the particular
sovereign to whom it had belonged was sup
posed to have been the second Pharaoh Of the
fourth dynasty. The wax impressions were
handed around among the members, aud the
ring itself afterwards shown BY Mr.. DePey.

THE BASHfuL LOVER.


I never speke 70 her Of love
Through summer, fall, and spring,
changed my diekey and my boots
To do that very thingl
But while sat, though | went In
Resolved to dare my fate,
Ny resolution, with my dog,
Lay shiyeriDg at the gate.
For years her shadow was my light,
She must have known il all,
Although only blushed and sighed,
And stammered in the hall.
Once, only, dearest, r." the blood
Ran crimson 10 her cheek
Ny heart lay beating on my tongue
Twas all l dared to speak.
She read the meaning Of my flowers,
She treasured all my rhymes,
"Faiht heart meier won" upon the snow
She wrote a thousand times.
And in the silver sand she'd try,
To make me rhyme her DOVE,
But, stupid! |, with all her help,
Would never write my LOVE.
Inever spoke TO her ofloye,
My tongue failed at the start,
And so lived to swear | would,
And curse my chicken heart,
One steady pulse, one gasp Of pluck
To nerve my quivering frame,
And had braVely spoken out
Alas! they never came.
One fierce and deperate effort meTel-
1t ended in a cough!
The words were burning on my tongue
couldn't get 'em OF.
! never spoke to her Of love
But another fellow did
He called one lucky night for him,
And did the thing, and "slid."

The CEDARs OF LEBANoN. 1T required no
Ereat research TO eonyiRce Us Of their great
age, which is strikinglY apparent Ia their
gnarled aud time-Worn trunks, Many Of the
branches have become sapless, and are fast rot
ting away; others are broken off by the force
of many tempests, or have fallen Of their own
accord from sheei old age; new ones have
sprung out, and he young shoots continue to
supply the ravages made by time; the trunks
are of vast circumference, and arecomposed Of
divers parts consolidated, some OF them per.
baps the growth ol differentages. All the old
trees, and many Of the young ones, have large
pieces cut out Of their trunks, upon WHICH are
carved the names Of visitors who have been from
time to time attracted 10 this remote region.
Among these noticed the name Of L,amar-
tine, said to have been carved by an Arab while
the great sentimeutalist was going into ecsta-
sizes In his comfortable quarters below.
The object is to see the eedan OF Lebanon
mentioned in the Scriptures; aud there they
are without doubt. They can be seen by any
body who has eyes to see, Il is true they Z
only cedars, but they are very wonderful, %
well from their great antiquity as from the
Scriptural interest attached 70 them.

AN INTELLIGENT HoRsE.-Some years ago
the citizens Of Centreville, Indiana, were III
ten amused by the conduct Of a horse when,
with others, he was turned into the barn yard
to be watered. One day, approaching the
trough and finding it empty, he seized the
pump handle, to the surprise Of the witnesses.
between his teeth, and pumped water sufficient
for himself and the other horses. Having
thus begun, he was allowed, when so inoIiasd
to waitnpOn himself and companions
wards. But it was observed that ne Al lWays
drove the other horses away until he had
quenched his own thirst, after which he pumps
I'd for the rest.
