NEW SONG.

There is beauty, pothos and truth combined
in the following hymn, which all our delinquent
subscribers should learn to sing with the spirit
and understanding :"
"Oh how happy are they
Who the Printer do pay,
And have squared up the old year or more;
Tongue can never express
The greatjoy of the Press,
When dcliuquents have squared the old score
printers, all the day long,
Labor hard for . song,
Oh, that all their hard fate could but see;
They have worked all the day,
And of course, want their pay
To buy sugar, bread, butter and tea"

WHY THERE Is NO RAIN IN PEaU-In
Peru, South America, rain is unknown.
The coast of Peru is within the region Of
perpetual southeast trade-winds. Though
the Peruvian shores are on the verge Of
the great South Sea boiler, vet 1t never
rains there. The reason is plain. The
southeast trade-Winds in the Atlantic
Ocean first strike the water on the coast
Of Africa. Travelling to the northwest,
they blow obiqueIy across the ocean un-
til they reach the cost Of Brazil. BY this
time they are heavily laden with vapoT,
which they continue to bear along across
the continent, deposiing il as they 60,
and supplying with it the sources of tie
Rio de la Plaza and the southern tribua-
rles Of the Amazon. Finally they reach
the snow-capred Andes, and here Is
wrung from them the LAST particle ofmojs-
lure that very low temperature can cx-
tract. Reaching the summit of that range
they now tumble down as cool and dry
winds on the Pacific slopes beyond.
Meeting with no evaPofating surf1re, and
with no temperature colder Than that 10
which they were subjected on The noun
tain tops. they reach the ocean before
they become charged with fresh ,aPor,
and before, therefore, they have any which
tie Peru,io ION climate can extract. Thus
we see how tie top Of the Andes becomes
the reservoir from which aTe supplied the
rivers OF Chill and Pcu.-Lieut. JiUry.

SANTA ANNA COMING. last accounts
from Mexico tells us that Santa Anna is at
length becoming disgusted with the cares Of
State. and there being no peace in Mexico,
he preparing for another exile. This time,
il seems, he intends to come to the United
States, and we should mt be surprised were
he to locate himself among the unpatented
mobility Of the Fifth avenue. The latest ru,
NOR from Washington says that Don Vidal y
Ribas, Santa Annals father.in-law, although
more than twenty years younger than His
Serene Hlghness, has been appointed Minis
ter TO the United States: and that very short
ly,with his wife and her daughter, " the beau
tlul Dolores" wife OF Santa Anna, may be
accordingly expected here or at Washington.
II further appears that all this is but prelimi-
nary to the departure Of Santa Anna himself
from his capital, upon compromise with the
reSulutionists, to whom he will leave the 20
vernment. Reason why: His Serene High
ness has exhausted his means Of resistance.
