One by one the sands are flowing,
One by one the moments fall:
Some are coming, some are going.
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee
Let thy whole strength 20 to each.
Let no future dreams elate thee.
Learn thou first what these can teach.
One by one bright gifts from Heaven)
JOYS are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too TO let them 90.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band:
One will fade as others greet thee,
Shadows passing through the land
Do not Look at Iife's sorrow:
See how small each moments pain;
God will help thee for tomorrow.
Every day begin again
Every hour that fleets SO slowly
Has its task to DO OF bear;
Luminous the Crown, and holy,
If thou set each gem with care.
Do not linger with regretting.
Or for passing hours despond:
Nor, thy daily Toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links. Gods token.
Reaching Heaven; but ore by ore
Take them, lest the chain be broken,
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

An 1mnnlsire Editor.

The Albany Atlas did something so cleverly the
other day as to beray The Albany Register into the
following explosion Of gratitude:
,..If the editor of the Atlas will accept hat and
can ind anybody that will charge one 10 Us, he
can order it right off. He has done the best thing
of the season-decidedly the richest. 1t is SO true
to nature too. Here it So
To the appsrent surprise of the Editor of the
REGISTER, the editor of the Atlas did find one who
would charge hat to lin. and in due lime the bill
was presented. WheIeupon the editor OF the
Register makes the following confessions:
We confess 10 good deal of verdancy in the
matter Of this hat. We forgot the competition OF
business, and what risk men will run in di>poSing
of their merchandise. We did not suppose hat
ter could be found who would be green enough 10
say to the Atlas, 'heEe, take my hat" on our ac-
count; and therefore felt safe IN our generous OIL
fer. We thought the editor would expend good
deal of boOtleSs shoe leather, IN Inqurlng around
town for cover for his mob. But he has "gone
and done it," aud we acknowledge Tie the corn.
We will pay for that bat some day II we have TO
Put ourseIf on short allowance To accomplish the
feat. But we submit, that in common courtesy,
and ont of respect to our principles the has Sc
lected should have been ''wide awake" Know
Nothing, American ha', and not an out-and-out
aristocratic beaver. However, this being mere
matte of taste, we ShaD't complain. We ought
TO have been more specific in the matter of des-
cription of the hat TO be selected. And this re-
minds us Of an adventure we had once in the po-
liiicO betting line. We were great Jackson mall,
we were. the last time the old General ran for the
Presidency, aud whenever General Jackson runs
for that office we shall be so again. We lived in
The country then, and had nelghbor on the other
side OF the political fence, who was great dealer
in horses.
Well, we got into an argument with him one
day. and so sure was he OF success that he Offered
to bet horse against $50 that the old Hero of
New Orleans would not be elected. We took the
bet. The argument being One that had no end
was renewed from time to time with the same re-
suit, until horses on one SIDE aud $3.50 on the
| other were staked on the issue OF the election.
We won. But we forgot to designate the horses,
and such lot of animals rendered in pay
nlent OF the bet was SIGHT To see. Ii there was
an ailment TO whch hvrSe flesh is subject that
was not exhibited 10y one of these five horses we
should like 10 be in ormed oftS ,tiagnoSiS. There
was ringbone, and spawn, and Slringhalt, and
blindness. and heaves, and one venerable old
roadster had all these, and in addition was deaf
as post. We kept them n week as a collection
OF curiosiies In the animal line, and then sold
them at auction. According to our recollection,
four of them sold for $40, in tie aggregate, and we
gave tin peder $40 for taking the other. We
have not bet on election since, and don't want 10
win nuY more horses.

Mexico and the United States.

The correspondent of the New Orleans Bee,
writing from the city of Mexico, under date OF
July 5tb, announces rupture Of diplomatic rela-
tons between the Legation Of the United States
and the Mexican government. The writer says:
ga week ago Mr.. Galsden notifies! the Mexican
government of this suspension, and stated that lie
would await instructions from his government.
! For some lime past Mr.. Gad>den had evinced
marked GOODNESS towards the administration, but
the event has been precipitaLed by The following
circumstances: One Delgado, born i'll Cuba, had
been compromised in tie political affairs OF The
| Island ana denounced by the authorities. he had
| fed, and travelled in Europe, had resided in the
United States, and beeh natmralIzed. Latter'y he
came to Mexico accompanied by a beautiful female
Ills wife or companion. Some time after his ar
rival, Delgado was arrested, thrown into Prison,
and exiied. THIS IS not all-mut satisfied with
b0niShing him, the Mexican government sought 10
deliver him up 10 the Cuban officials.
| With this view Delga,!o placed on board oil
the English steamer at Vera Cruz, IN company
with Mexican who had been instructed to sur
render him to the Captain GeneIal. Tue affair IS
a splendid evidence of the sasacity and talent OF
the Mexican Ministry. They did no; reflect inst
ly, that in default of treaty of extra tion, Del
gadO, even though not naiurallzed American,
could not be legally given up TO the Cuban au-
thori;eS, and secondly, that if even such treaty
existed, 1t could not apply 10 political oieheeS.
| nc uIoSt "'US'i'E pO''t 1"OllH INC O'S'"G"'
our Minister OF Foreign Affairs never reflected
that once OH board British vessel, Delgado was
free, and that if The Captain General had demand
ed the refugee, the commander of the British yes
sci would have laughed in his face. Coucho, how
ever, had more sense than Bonila, aud did not al
tempt TO get possession of Delgado, who, under
stand, landed at St. Thomas. The lady who ac-
companIed him 10 Mexico. was, al The last ac-
counts. i'll at Vera Cruz, OF the vomlto.''
The same correspondent, writing on the 18th,
says, Mr.. GaJsden had had two personal interview
with Santa Anna, the result OF which that
the dispatches of the former to Washington would
be more pacific. Mr.. Vidal, the new Minister 10
the United States, straIning every To set
tie the aTIir.- About the list of August, Mr.. V.
would Srtou for Washington, accompanied by the
Presidents wiz. her mother Donna Manuel Car

IMPROVEMENT IN ARTILLEKY.-A valuable i'm
provement IN artillery is reported to have been in
IroLuced by Colonel Covalli, of the Sardinian ar
nv. An Italian officer of high rank, in the allied
army, is said to have remarked that sif the French
had had some of CavallTs guns at the time OF
their attack on the Mumelon, they might have de-
stroyed the whole Russian Reet.'' Col. CavallTs
gun, it is said, is double grooved, giving about
three quarter turn 10 the projecte, which is of an
oblong form of cast iron, pointed at the top, con-
vex towards the powder, and having two ribs run.
ming lengthwise, to correspond with the grooves in
the gun. The London Times correspondent re-
marks with regard to it:
As regards the principle of grooved barrels and
ribbed proiectieS, there seems no objection to APP
ply the system 10 the guns in uSe for the diff.
fcutieS once made as TO the wearing out of these
gronveS practically lISproved by guns and pro.
jectileS now in the arsenal of Turin, which have
been used scores of times and without any obvI-
GUS deterioration. But this principle Col. c. had
combined with that of loading at the breech, aud
when he tired gun Of THIS Kind in England, i'll
1850, before some distinguished artillery officers
tand which gun had been cast AZ StockAoim,) il
unfortunately burst, and there was, consequently,
an unjust prejudice perhaps created against it,
Even then, the fault Of the bursting was acknOwI-
edged 10 tie in the material, and not i'll the prnci-
pie, and The official returns Of the practice with
smooth bore OIL That occasion, are confirmutoTy OF

termined to set part considerable portion of
their revenue to be invested in stock as perma-

the benefactions went beyond the interest of this
capital, and in all such cases the excess was paid
from the private resources of the parties.
