TRIP LIGHTLY OVER TROUBLE.

Trip lightly oyer trouble,
Trip lightly over wrong;
We only make grief double
By dwelling on it long. E
Why clasp woes hand so tightly; -s
Why sigh DER blossoms dead.
Who cling to forms unsightly
Why not seek joy instead!'
Trip lightly over sorrow;
Though this day may be dark,
The SIN may shine tomorrow
And gaily sing the lark;
Fair hope has not departed.
Though roses may have fed
Then never I've down-hearted,
Bat look for ioyHnstead
Trip lightly over sadness,
Stand not to rail at doom;
We've pearls to string of giadness
On this side OF the tomb
Whilst stars are nightly shining,
And heaven i overhead
Encourage not repining,
But look for joy instead.

The Heroine Of Tampico.

Among the passengers who went out in the
last European steamer was Mrs. Ann Chase,
the distinguished lady of the US. Consul at
Tampico. 1t will he remembered by all who
are familiar with the late war with Mexico,
that in November. 1916, when our squadron
lay before Talnpico watching the favorable
moment to strike decisive blow, this lady
managed to communicate to Com. Conner,
and convey to him, by great exertion of tact
and courage, the most timely and important
intelligence respecting the strength of the
place, the pccu!iarities of the harbor, and the
best moment for attact.
Consul Chase had been suddenly and per-
emptorily ordered away faom Tampico by the
Mexican authorities, but his lady resolved to
remain and stand ready with her servants and
friends to defend her house and interests until
the tide of war should turn in favor of the
United States
When the critical day arrived, Mrs Chase
alone, in the midst of an ignorant and infur-
ated enemy, raised the flag over the American
consulate, and our squadron answered it by
Instantly getting under way. The populace
were bewildered with fear and surprise, and
the Mexican officials were absolutely stupified
at the audacity of the act, when they saw the
stars and stripes thus floating in naughty de-
fiance over their heads BY its side, with her
right arm encirc(;ng the flagstaff stood the un
dauntcd lady, and to all their threats and Ge-
mands to haul down the flag, she only answer
ed by pointing 10 the American feet standing
boldly in with tayoring breeze and tide. Eve
~ sail and flag was in gallant array, and every
PROV was turned, as if with a seeing eye, on
the flag that was waving them on to make Tam
pico their own. 1t was sight to make the
Mexican officers hesitate to shoot or use brl-
tai measures wiih the daring lady who raised
and defended with her own feblc frame and
life that signal banner, while they hesitated
to proceed to extremites the fleet YVES speed.
ing to the rescue, and before they could decide
the town was under its guns, and Tampico was
won without the loss of sng'e life,
Mis-. Chase, previous to sailing, passed sew
eral days with Mr.. and Mrs. Green, at Jamaica
Plain, in company with Gov. Dmond, ofRhcde
Island, Gen. Cazneau and lady, and several
other distinguished guests.

Battle of Horses.
Boston Post, 24th ult.

Two Of the Spanish regiments which had
been quartered in Funen were cavalry, mount
ed on fine black long-tailed Andalusian horses.
1t was impracticable to bring off thee horses,
about 100 in number-and Rc,uano was not
man who could order them to be DESTROYED.
He vas fond Of horses himself, and knew that
every man was attached to the beast which
had carried him so far and so faithfully Their
brides were therefore taken off ard they were
turned loose upon the beach. A scene ensued
such as probably never before was witnessed
They were sensible that they were no longer
under any restraint Of human power. \ gen.
eral conflict cnsued, in which, retaining the dis.
cip'ine they lad learned, they charged each
other in squairons of ten or twelve together
then engaged, striking with their forefcet and
biting and tearing each other with the most
farocious rage, and tram ling over those who
We're beaten down, till the shore in the course
Of an hour was strewn with the dead and dis.
sabled. Part of them had been set free OF
rising ground at a distance; they no sooner
heard the roar of battle than they came thun-
doring down over the intermediate hedges, and
catching the contagious madress plunged into
the fight with equal fury, Sublime as the
scene was, it was too horrible to be long con-
templatcd, and Romano, in mercy, gave orders
to destroy them. But it was found too dan
gcrous to attempt this, and after the last boat
had quilted the beech, the few horses that re-
manned were seen still engaged in the dreadful
work of mutral destruction.

Shalowing the Future.

The difficulty now progressing in the House
of Representatives at Washington, respecting
the inability of that body, through the present
organization of parties, to elect Speaker--all
attempts proving unsuccessful by intelligence
up to the present time of writing, Thursday
shadows forth rather a bleak future for the
success of the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency; for as parties are divided in the
House of Representatives, so they exist among
the people at large.
The failure of the Pierce Administration
the great progress which Freesoilism has made
in the Democratic ranks North in consequence
of the Kansas Nebraska act-and the rise and
popularity of the American party. which was
never stronger than at the present time if facts
prove anythihs--al united, in conjunction with
the inability of the Democratic party to elect
a speaker, brings the inevitable conviction that
the democracy which elected Pierce is Jared
and split into fragments, and was never at any
time weaker upon the eve of a Presidential
canvass.
The American party, consisting of CLAY
Wings and JACKSON Democrats, is rising in
the same ratio ss modern Democracy" Is up
