PgCKENGS FROM ANOTHER
BASKET.

The ''chip basket" of the Chicago Jour-
nal, is always full. 1t is usually children's
business to pick up chips, but the genius
cultured manhood is visible in these CLEAN
ings from the field of poetic thought:
( 1t is no new truth that we are travellers
MI; no new thought that we meet none on
the way we are going. We remember
the comrades with whom we set out some
of them turned aside in the morning to
gather flowers and we saw them no more;
some of them we loft asleep under the
trees at midday, and others are with us
still; but 50 gray have the brown tresses
become, so old the young hearts, so hard
the soft hands, that we never recognize
them.
Indeed the world is full Of strangers,
and while waiting in this great caravansary
till our turn comes to
--"take our places in the silent halls"
how naturally we ask, as we find our
selves almost alone, " is it you !"and how
pleasant to hear an old and loved response.
For after all, the most of us are
"Only waiting till the shadows,
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
Of the days last beam is flown
Till the light of earth is faded.
From the heart ono, full of day
Till the stars of heaven are brea king
Through the twilight soft and gray
DURING the long day of tho Arctic
summer, the wisest men may lose their
reckoning and stake no note of timc,"
but the fowers never forget. Regularly,
as the night should come, they close their
leaves to sleep, and when tho day should
break in voiceless pillows along the eastern
sky, they wake again, and thus divide in
those vast solitudes, the lingering timo in
nights but daylight sick" with feeble
rays between.

extend 10 Eastern lands too. but probably not in a

LATER FROM MEXICO.

BY way Of New Orleans We have dates from Vera
Cruz to the 9th inst, and from the City Of Mexico 10
the Both ult.
There seems to be alarm at the rumor Of an invs.
sion of Mexico by Santa Anna, but nothing positive
ia known though the war steamers Democrats and
Vera Cruz are jealously watching the cosst and ,e
Guerrero has been dispatched to Tampico.
In consequence Of the dubious relations Of tho re-
public with SPAIN active preparations for defence are
in progress especially at Vera Cruz and other points
along the coast From the language of the press We
should infer that war with Spain would not be IN.
popular with the masses, and that the Msxicans
would rally with enthusiasm around the national
standard.
The recent conspiracy in the city of Mexico is still
prolific source Of excitement. Numerous additional!
arrests have been made in Mexico, Puebla and else
where. Some Of the accused have been subjected to
strict confinement. Others have been placed upon
the chain-gsn and sent to tine public works in the
Cslleion de Santa Clara A number Of The conspira
tors are SpaniarGs by birth, and nearly all engaged in
the plot against the government persons Of mark
and education, many of them military men office
holders under thu government. The Monitor SAVE
however, that only two of the oonspirators Span
iards.
The Trait D. Union announces the appointment Of
Senior Iglesias Minister of Finance and oue of hi,
first actions has been to impose heavy tax on pro
perry holders, urban and rural, which ID designated
by the above journal as forced loan, or war tax.
At one swoop twenty-one Of the conspirators wers
seized in a hous, in Mexico. One Captain LAWN. ,
Spanari, was ringlesdsr, and bis stors wa. the "a
resort of the poters. Their plan seems TO have
been sup de main, to be effected by killing the Pre-
sident Snd his Cabinet
In view Of the Spanish diff ,ulty the papers are dis
cussing the question of creating dictatorship.
