LATIN.-An exchange relates a story of
farmer whose son had for long time been
ostensibly studying Latin in popular acad-
emy. The farmer not being perfectly salts
fed with the course and conduct of the
young hopeful, recalled him from school, and
placing him by the side of cart one dav
thus addressed him, Now, Joseph, here is
fork, and there is heap of manure and
cart; what do you call them in Latin?'-
'Forkibus, cartibus ct manuribuS,' said Jo-
Seph We'll, now said the old man, if you
don't take that forkibus pretty quickibus,
and pitch that manuribus into that cartibus,
I'll break your lazy backibus.' Joseph went
to workibus forthwithibus.

Il BEG LEAVE TO SAY THAT | DECLINE
YOUR REQUEsr Such was the lnconic reply
Of the gallant Geu Zachary Taylor, to a
naughty summons to surrender from that
imperial coward Gen. Santa Anna, previous
to the hard fought battle of Bucna Vista
Santa Anna, with powerful force of TWEEN
tytwo thousand men, threatened the brave
little army under Taylor which amounted to
only four Thousand six hundred anl ninety
men, with annihation But the hero Of
Palo Alto was determined to fight lite
anyhow and stood his ground
The battle commenced; the contest was
long, desperate, sangun0ry,' which, says the
historian, no pen can adcqutely adescrbc'
But the Americans, commanded by General
Taylor in person, stood firm against the
fierce and almost IRE istiblc assaults Of the
MeXicans, and were victorious The Mcxi-
cans fed leaving their killed and wounded
in the hands OF the victorS. In military
sense of the word, "twas glorious yictoryY

FLowERs.-The poetry Of nature, the or
naments of field and mountain, OF forest and
rivers side, sweet emblems of perfect and
unassuming beauty, they penetrate the ideal
longings of the heart, embodied in graceful
FORM color and sweet fragrance.
They speak of Hope to the rainting heart,
With voice of promise they come and part"
They are among the best gifts of our
Heavenly Father, and, like most pure, and
lonely, and unapprcciated blessings, are too
often passed acedlcssly by; while our wan
dering feet, disdainiug the beauty so abun-
dainty displayed in our very paths pass care
leSsly ON, needless OF the lilys modest form
and emblematic purity; of the roses never
dying fragrance, the yiolet'S sweet humility.
the daisy's unaSSumng loyelness, We pass
on, away from the true and beautiful, to the
vain and false, exchanging natures boun-
toous gifts for worldly glitter and fashions
empty pomp.
Yet how often, surrounded by all the or
ti6cial glare of wealth. the vain mockcries
its gifts beStow; surrounded, too, 10y the
cares and the joys of maturer years; does
the sight of an humble flower, the well re-
mcmbcred fragrance Of simple leaf, recall
the scenes of our past happy childish dayS2
Our mothers voice returns, with its accents
of unlorgotten tenderness; The merry gam
bols over grassy mound, and rugged hill, the
scenes and sounds of home return, and
youths magic spell is woven, foa briefmo-
mcnt, and the heart returns to its first unal-
loyed hopes, its sunny un(uGIlcd dreams its
first earnest aspirations, its earliest Joys, all
are renewed by the simple magic of an hum

NATURE AND ARr--Upon examining the
frgc Of very keen razor with microscope
it will appear as broad as the back of a
thick knife; rough uneven, full of notches
and burrows. An exceedingly small needle
resembles a rough iron bar But the sting
of bee, seen through the same instrument,
exhibits everywhere polish most amazing
ly beautiful, without the least flaw, blemish
or inequality, and it ends with a point too
fine to be discerned A small piece of cx-
ceedingly fine lawn appears, through mi
croscope, like hurdle or lattice and the
threads themselves seem coarser than yarn
with which ropes are made for anchors
But a silkworm's web appears perfectly
smooth and shining, and everywhere equal,
The smallest dot that can be made with
pen appears, when viewed by the microscope,
an irregular spot, rough, jagged and uneven
But the little specks on the wing or bodies
of insects ore found to be most accurately
circular. So great is the contrast between

All, how my inmost feelings burn
With love of liberty;
Dear cherished land, whose friendly shore
Invites the stranger free,
Where every blessing is in store
To crown his industry.

And free-born daughters ope
The welcome hand which never shuns,
But bids the stranger hope
For thee left my native land
Bnd cross d the ocean wide,
Content where Freedom guides the helm,
For ever to abide

Point out happy home,
Wherein III dwell while life remains,

Friendship.

Friendship.
And what is friendship but name
charm that lulls to sleep!
a shade that follows wealth or fame,
And leaves the wretch to weep
GOLDSMITH
How seldom we meet with friendship that's true,
Deep motives may perhaps wear its guise,
Sparkle appear as pure as the dew,
Still breathe but hypoerisy's lies
I've known the time, when in candor I'd trust
My life, and my all with friend
But now look upon friendship as rust,
a preteXt TO beguile and to blind.
Friendship like love is tickle, unkind,
Causes many sad tears to be she'd
When in trouble and sorrow the heart is entwined
Your Friends sympathy's sure to be dead,

Passing Away.

Im passing away the rivulet said,
As it danced along ON its pebly bed
| unite myself with the ocean old,
And sweep DER forms thatwere fearless and bold;
And then to the earth with dew from sky;
Thus the stream sang on, in tones wild and gay,
I'm passing away-lm passing away"
We are passing away, the red man said,
As he looked around on the scattered dead,
But few remain, and wen soon he at rest
With those we loved, in the land of the blest ;
And the white man then will be roaming here
Der this land Of ours, that to US was so dear;
And the theme of his song viii he in that day,
They have passed away, they have passed away.
We are passing away, is the song that is sung
From the lips Of all, both the old and the Young;
That song is sung through the tall forest trees
by the gentle sigh of the evening breeze,
'Tis heard in the North, South, Fast and West,
'rjs ever told in the land of the biest,
That the chosen Of earth must not here stay,
That they must pass, aye, all pass away

New ARGUMENT FOR IAzINEss.-A mcr-
chant in this city, who is noted for his par
simony and his outward observance of re
ligious forms, compelled one of his clerks re-
Gently to re1d the Bible through when he
first entered his service. Soon after he took
occasion to lecture the clerk for his indo-
lencc, when the youngstcr replied that he
was afraid to work very hard in his employ
for fear of losing his situation The mcr-
chant was struck aghaSt at this answer and
demanded, in loud voice, that the Young
man should inform him instantly, how in
dustry could prejudice his interests with
such an employer as himself?
Why replied the soucy clerk, 1t is plain
from passage that read in the Bible, that
such would be the case
How! youngster-how docs the Bible en-
courage your laziucss? Answer me quick
We'll it says that he that is dshgcm IN
Juancss shall stand before kings; he shall not
stand before mean men,
1t is needless to say the young man was
looking for new situation the next day.
