Furnishing a Desperate.
SCENE ON THE MEXICAN FRONTIER.
After the triumph Of the American arms
on the field Of Palo Alto and Resaca dc Ia
Palma, the victorious force hurried across
the Rio Grande, and occupied the Mexican
town of Matamoras. But, unfortunately,
these were not the only invaders, for, marchs
ing with@the valiant soldiery, or following
rapidly'in their rear, came another host Of
small merchants, of desperadoes, of gain
blers, and every variety Of reckless adven-
turers, Including swarms of assassins and
thieves.
Among tile numerous gamblers, were
three brothers by the name Of Allen. Their
art and dexterity, backed in each emergency
by the bowie-knife and revolver, soon rem
dered them notorious, and promised, ina
brief period to break every bank in the
vicinity.
At that time there was a Brilliant saloon
kept open for public amusement and priyate
profit, by one Fernando Rosa, wealthy but
avaricious Spaniard. Tie dealer at the
monte-tab!e was hiss daughter. Maria, a
young girl possessed, ,Sffhat beauty which
so often distingdishesfih the females of her
nation, and, notwithstanding her unfavosa-
bic and doubtful situation as principal in
the general gambling house, she bore o.
fair fame for virtue as we'll as. intelligence.
She detested, the position, and filed it only
from the compalsion of parental authority,
and presided Over the cards in all the ESQ
lutions Of tickle fortune with the IitIiiost
honesty ofeonduct AS might be logically
inferred, such various and evident attractions
combined to render the establishment
place Of general resort for the elite of the
army, and all the most accomplished con-
noisseurs Of Glance; and to insure the ex-
clusion of the plebeian class, the rule had
been fixed that the lowest bet on the board
must amount TO hundred dollars.
I 1t was in the month Of May, when the
three brothers Allen, having swept tile coun-.
ters of. all the inferior banks OF Matamoras,
with their pockets fill of gold and heavy
sums of paper, entered thu; saloon of Fer
nando Rosa, determined 10 close It by fair
or foul means. The apartment was crowded
with Iieutenapts, and others who had lost

with such deep alarm that dared not to dwell up
on the subject. Even when she became the bride
of my son Leon, she would insist upon every ar
rangement being made with view TO this early
death, which seemed to prey on her mind for ever.
1t was not till the young couple had been married
for some time that by dint of maternal care and
licitude, managed to wiring from her the conf
dence of her direful antcipations and Judge of my
dismay when she coolly told me that she had sold
herself to the Evil One, and that she would be
claimed before she had reached the age of twenty
one! She confessed that her despair had been so
great at being exiled, that wearied with ncessant
prayers to heaven and the saints for deliyerance
without effect, she had at length addressed her
vows TO the powers Of darkness on the very Sun
day morning when her guardian had arrived, and
the announcement of his presence was evidently
the token of the acceptance of that fearful vow.
1t seems that In spite of every care and counsel
despite of the constant watching and wise teach
ing of the Able Dupauloux nothing could turn
aside this idee fire frotr the mind of the Princess
Eleanore, and although every extreme Of dissipa-
ton and excitement was tried to divert her thoughts
she gave way to a settled melancholy. and died
Just two days before the completion Of her 2lst
year, suddenly, and in her chair, full dressed for
bail at the Minisfere a. Eat. The idea had evi-
IDENTITY done its work in silence, and none can tell
the agony which must have been endured during
the last few moRths Of that sad existence in the
midst OF splendor and riches, yet nursing the can
ker-worm within, from which neither the lefty po-
sition in which she stood nor the homage she re-
ceived could divert her for one instant. The PAIN
phlet has caused the deepest impression on the
minds Of all who have perused it, end the retirement
from the world of the DOwager Princess de S
for the avowed purpose of praying for the soul of
the Princess Eleanore, has added to the terrible
effect of the tale, which seems more like dark
legend Of the middle ages than oil incident of yes
terday; but is nevertheless perfectly true for all
that"

BY CHARLES MAcKAY.
When little John is Ave years old,
With cheeks like peaches growing,
With merry eyes, half bold, half shy,
And smiles like ripples flowing;
Would'st see him happy: Watch him well,
And proud as famous Horner,
You'll find him joyous and alone
With sHeetmeats in 4 corner.
And older grown, youth in years,
When tastes and pleasures vary,
He loves to haunt the self-same place,
With cousin Jane or Mary.
Inquire not what their talk may be,
Nor laugh, you idle scorner
But be assured, whaie'er they say,
They're happy in the corner.
And later still, when past his prime,
He's run the round of pleasure.
And learned, like Israel's mournfuI king,
The worth of things to measure,
"What shadows have chased he cries
And sighs with heart forl ,rner-
"Nexation, vanity and shame,
spy YOU from the cornerp'
Still faithful to the place, he sits
With wife and children round him,
And smokes the "calumet of peace"
When troubles would confound him.
Takes Fortune kindly if she comes,
If absent does not mourn her,
So topple Kingdoms if you will
Hes quiet in the corner.
