The Fallen Brave of Mexico.

From cypress and from laurel boughs
Are twined insorrow and in pride,
The leaves that deck the mouldering brow'
Of those who for their country died;
In sorrow, that the sable pail
Enfolds the valiant and the brave,
npride, that those who nobly fell
Win garlands that adorn the grave.
The onset--the pursuit-the roar
Of victory o'erthe routed foe
Will startle from their rest no more
The fallen brave of Mexico.
To God alone such spirits yieldl
He took them in their strength and bloom,
When gathering, on the tented field,
: The garland woven for the tomb.
The shrouded hag-tho dropping spear
The mufflsd drum-the solemn bell
The funeral train-the dirge-the bier
The mourners' sad and last farewell
Are fading tributes to the worth
OF those whose deeds our homage claim;
But Time, who ningles them with earth
Keeps green the garlandsof their fame.

A Presbyterian Clergyman Sus-

the following from the Presbyterian
Herald:
The Indiana Presbytery of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
lately tried and suspended the Rev.
7. B. Mccormick, one of their min

F,eur1Na, WoMEN.-Some Of the
earliest notices of boxing-matches
upon record, singularly enough, took
niace between combatants OF the

lowing gage of battle thrown down
and accepted: ,,,:p:

som. of Clerkenwell, having had some
words with Hannah Hy6eld, and re-
nuiripg satisfaction, do invite her to

Grst woman that drops the money to

ANswER.-J. Hannah Hyiieid' O
Newgate Market, hearing Of the
resoiuteness of Elizabeth Wilkinson
will not fail, God willing, to give hel
more blows than words, desiring home
blows and from her no favor; she may
expect good humping!
The half crowns in the hands were
an ingenious device to prevent
scratching!

One Summer Eve | had O Dream.

One summer eve had q dream
Twas of maiden fair; er
The roses bloomed upon her cheek,
The sunbeams decked her hair,
The velvet and the dew-drop. in
Her eye had taken their rest;
The lily, emblem of the pure,
Was on her snowy breast.
And since had this lovely dream
Eve searched the world around,
: To see if this ideal of mine
a, Could anywhere be found.
Upon the Mountains of the North,
And on the Southern plain,
My steps did wander, yet, alas!
Isoughtfor her in vain! - rs
But now my very SOULS glad,
Ny wanderings are o'er.
I've found the maid, and she hes said
That we shall part no more;
And so care not if the sun,
Should perish in the sea,
For oh! the Heaven of her love
Is light enough for me. 7"

The Press,

The Boston Transcript gives very
striking instance Of the influence OF
the Press, in mentioning that cor
respondent of that paper having allu-
ded to the lack of a perfect Bible in
the Appledore House, on the Isle OF
Shoals, soon afterwards the proprietor
of the house had fifty Bibles sent
to him. We recently had similar
proof Of the benefits of advertising,
in the prompt and generous response
Of the public to a brief statement
published among our items of local
intelligence, Of worthy family in
need Of assistance. Our paper had
hardly been published, when a dozen
or so OF benevolent individuals from
different parts of the city called at
the office to tender their assistance.
A very remarkable instance OF the
power of the Press in influencing the
nublic mind occurred last year about
this time, when the death OF two or
three very prominent gentlemen was "
announced, and the cause of their dis
ease was attributed to oysters. The
next day scarcely an oyster was sold
in the whole city, and the oyster-men
would not have recovered from the
paralysis had they not resorted to
tha same means of cure which had
occasioned their hurt. They procu-
reda certificate from some respectable
physician to the effect that oysters
were not unwholesome; and the day
after it was published oyster-eatIng
was again resumed, and the trade IN
bivalves went on again as usual With
ont interruption.

he determined to make good sweep.
After many preliminary compliments,
he asked with an cir Of mischieyous
Griendliness: ".How can a man fry two
trout in three pans, so that q trout
may lay ineeach pan?''
No one could answer this, and one
after the other gave him twelve
kreutzer piece. s
But when the ninth desired that he
should answer it himself, he frankly
acknowledged that the trout could not
be fried in that way.
Then it was maintained that this
was unfair in the Jew, but he stoutly
affirmed that there was no provision
for it in the agreement, save that ne
who could not answer the question
should pay the kreuzters; and fallilled
the agreement by paying that sum to
the ninth of his comrades who had
asked him to solve it himself. But
they ell being rich merchants, and
grateful for the amusement which hsd
passed an hour or two very pleas
antly for them, laughed heartily over
their loss and at the Jews cunning.

Large Eggs.-Cape Cod hens are
famed for their feats performed
of late. A gentleman exhibited'last
week half. a dozen eggs, weighing ore
pound and a quarter, the product of
an ''unassisted effort" made by a sin

er that last week laid single egg,

on breaking it for the purpose of ma
