Woman's Love.


In the little rosewood caskct,
Which is resting on the stand,
There's package of old letters,
Pcnncd by cherished hand.
Will you go and bring them sister,
And read them o'cr to-nirhtl

For the tears that dimmcd my sight.
Come up close to me- sister,
Let me lean upon Thy breast,
For my tide of life is eLbing,
And fain would be at rest.
Read the letters he has written
lie whose voice havc often hoard
Read them over, love, distinctly,
That lose not cor word.
Tell him, sitter when you see him,
That never ceased to love;
That ], dying. prayed to mcot him,
In better home above;
Tell him never upbraidod,
Nc'er word of acnsuro spoke,
Though his silence and his absence,
My heart had WE'LL nigh broke,
Tell him watched his coming,
When the noon-tidc sun was high,
Aud when mt eve the angels
Lit their star-lnmps in the sky;
And when saw he came not,
Tell him that did not chidc,
Rut that T eyer 1oyc,l him
That blessed him when died,
When in the graves white garments
You have Warped my form arounl,

In the quiet church yard ground,
Place the pictures and the letters
Close against my pul:clrss heart;
We for years have been together,
And in dealt, we may net Part.

You may read the letters DER,

Whom / shall sec no more;
And ere you shall have finished,
Should I calmly fall asleep
Fall sleep in dcath-and wake not,
Gentle sister, do not weep.

A Drove of Irish Bulls.

The following piece of "coInposition,"
says the Philadelphia Sunday Transcript
may be "backcd' against anything ever
produced. II WAS written half Il century
ago by Sir boyle Roclc, a member Of tho
Irish Parliament. "Thc Troubled Times
Of Nincty-Fight." when handful of men
from the country Of Wexford, struck terror
into the hearts of many gallant sons Of
Mars, as well as the worthy writer himself
The letter wase addressed to friend in
London, and it is old enough to be new 10
nine out of ten Of our readers:
My Deur Sir: Having now a littlo
peace and quictncss, l sit down and infor IN
you of the dreadful hustle and confusion we
arc all III from these blood-thirsty rebels,
most of whom are, thank God, killed and
dispersed. We are in pretty mess can
get nothing to cat, nor any wine TO- drink,
except whisky and when we sit down to
dinner wo arc obliged to keep both hands
sarmod. While write this, hold sword
in each hand, and pistol in the othor.
l concluded from the beginning that
this would be the end of it, aud see was
right for it is not half over yet. At
present, there are sueb going on that eve
rything is at stand still. l should have
answered your letter fortnight ago, but I
did not receive it until this morning. In.
decd, scarce a mail arrives without being
robbed. No longer ago than yesterday,
the coach with the mail from Dublin was
robbed near this town. The bags had
been iudiciously left behind, for fear of ac-
cident, and by good luck there was nobody
i'll it but two outside passengers, who had
nothing for tho thieves to take. Last
Thursday, notice was given that gang of
rebels WAS advancing here under the French
standard, but they had no colors, nor any
drums except bagpipes.
Immediately every man in the place, in
cluding men, woman and children, ran out
to meet them. We soon found our force
much too little we were too near to think
Of retrcating. Death was in every face,
but to it wo went, and began to DO all alive
again. Fortunately, the rebels had no
guns except pistols and pixies, and ~ we
had plenty of muskcts and AMMUNITION,
wo put them all to the.sword. Not soul
Of them escaped, except some chat were
drowned ia adjacent bogs; and in SHORT
timehothing was heard but silence. Their
uniforms were alhof different colors, bug
mostlygreen. After the action, we won't
to orummage sort, Of. camp Which they
had left behind shesn. -aAll ,wo found was
few pixies without heads, parcel Of
empty bottles Of water, and 70 bundle of
French commissions filled with Irislf

THIS remedy has won for itself such notoriety
from its cures of every variety of pulmonary disease
that 1t is entirely unnecessary to recount the evi-
dcnccs of its virtues in any community where it
has been employed. So wide is the field of its use
fulness, and so numerous the cases of its cures
that almost every section of the country abounds
in persons publicly known, who have been restored
from alarming and even desperate diseases of the
lungs by its use. When once tried its superiority
over every other medicine of its kind is appa-
rent to escape observation and where its virtues are
known. the public no longer hesitate what antidots
to employ for the distressing and dangerous afec.
tions of the pulmonary organs which nre incident
to our climate. Not only in formidable attacks
upon the lungs, but for the mildcr varieties of
COLDS, CoUuHs HoARsENEss &c. and for Chill
DnEN it is the pleasantest and safest medicine that
can be obtained.
AS it has long been in constanA use throughout
this section, we need not do mordthan assure the
people its quality is kpt up to the best that ever
has been, and thatthe genuine article is sold by

AlisreIIalreous lReoOinp,
GEN. WALKER AND HIS FILLIBUS
TIERS.

Our readers are already advised that the expe-
dition of the land pirate, Walker and Lis deuded
followers has ended disastrousy. His object was
t. establish Slavery in Central America, and for
this men and money were lavshel to aid him.
Gen. Henniugsen furnishes an official state
ment of the number killed in battles which he
FIXES at $50, but this does not include the number
who died of disease, which doubtless exceeds the
number killed in battle. There are some things
connected with the surrender of Walker which
should not be forgotten by the people. 1t was
effected through the agency of Commander Davis
of the U s. Navy, who acted under instructions
from the Administration The New York Even
ing POstsays:
There are some points in the narrative Of the es-
cape of Walker from the scene of his misdeeds
which deserve especial attention, as duplicating
both the late and the present administrations in
violation of our neutrality obligations. None
can doubt that Walker and bis associate maraud-
ers of territory with which our government is at
peace, If they did subject themselves to the penal
ty of our laws had at least absolved this govern
meut from any obligations to protect them as cti-
zens; and yet here is Capt Davis, a naval officer
of the United States. and acting as he says under
orders from the federal government keeping bis
vessel conveniently near the scene of hostiites for
the purpose of rescuing the fllibusters from the
consequences Of defeat. just as soon as their
ease becomes hopeless be rtervenes. takes the re-
retreatiug invaders under bis protection, and car
ries them on their homeward passage at the ex-
pense Of bis government.
Now either Walker aud bis invaders were citi-
Gems Of the Uuted States OR they we're not. II
tbey we're not, he should have left them to the
Glance Of war. It they were, why did not Cap
tain Davis interfere to stop their outrages while
there was yet some prospect of their success
against Costa Rica, country with which we are
At peace, and with which we owe the usual duty
of neutrality, viz TO restrain our citizens from
unlawful aggregation? Why,we ask. did he not
al once arrest and bring home The fllibusters a'
prisoners amenabe to the violated laws of theil
couutryg The answer is, simply that our gov
erument, through the Pierce and Buchanan adj
ninistratons, has been committed to the cause o.
the fnibusters, and stands before the world as &C
csssory to the most reprehensible violation of in
teruatioual rights which has ever disgraced its an
mails.

BEBB ASSAULTED
KILLS ONE OF THE AsSAULTERS.

The following particulars relative to sad affair
in which Hon. WIN. BEBB, once Governor of this
State. but now a resident Of Illinois, was involved,
are contained in the Rockford (Ill. )RepuJh=
can, of the 2lst ult:
1t appears that for some time past, good deal
of codness aud in many instances actual bad feel.
ing had been growing up among some of the
Governors neighbors, as against himself and fami-
Iy, springing, it is said, more or less out of jeal-
ously Of his pecuuiary circumstances, and belief
that he was somewhat arstoCratic in his tastes and
associations. The return of bis son with bis wife.
on Thursday night, from the East, whittier be bad
been to get married, was fixed upon by the rowdy
portion Of the young men of the neigbborhood,
as proper occasion to manifest their l-feelings.
They accordingly prepared themselves with COW.
bells, guns, tin pats and other articles ordinarily
used on such occasions, and repaired to the resi-.
dence of the Governor at late hour in the night,
and commenced making all manner of noises,
clamors and outcries, sssailing the house with
stones, and firing towards it with their guns.
After enduring this assault for some time in
silence, Gov. Bebb made lis appearance at the
front of bis house, aud demonstrated with the
mob, requesting them to desist. This request was
received with shooting and howngs, and an in.
crease Of camor. After little time he again
came forward and remarked that patience had
ceased to be virtue, and that if they did not
desist and leave the premises, he would be compel
led to use violence. Threats only seemed to ex
asperate the assaiants, who replied that they had
come there to fight, and were only waiting fol
him to commence. or words to such import. He
then went into the house and brought out double
barrelled shot gun, firing ore barrel at the feel
of the nngeaders of th' mob, wbchs shot took
effect upon one of the party, crippling him in tie
leg. At this some of them dispersed. while the
others rallied and made rush upon the Cover
nor who raised the gun and discharged The othel
barrel at the foremost man, hitting him in th,
head and killing him instantly, whereupOn bis as
saiants suddenly decamped. -.
/ We gather the above facts from a ueighbOr o
Gov. Bebb's and give them as related, withou
youching for their entire correctness. The affai
is very sad one, has created mueh excitement il
this community.

HOW MEADE CHOKED GIDDlNGs.

A southern paper, in pronouncng fullsome
euIogy upon RICHARD R. MEADE, capped the
climax of his greatness, a Ia border rufisn De.
mocracy, and gave an unauswerable reason VIII!
the chivaly should vote for him by stating that
he was the man who chOked dowH JOSHUA X.
GIDDINGs. As it has been generally supposed
that Mr.. GIDDNos was rather hard to choke, the
inquiry was made as to ho10 that valorous feat was
per omed. The AshtaLula Seminal replies to the
query Of the State Journal as follows:
"The Journals memory would be refreshed by
a reference to the scenes which marked the clost
of the 3lst Congress. On The last night of tha
Congress- Richard X. Meade sWore terribly at Mr.
Giddings He uttered oaths which WOald hav'
choked any Christian man. He brandished bis
fists, threatened to tear out MIR. Giddings' heart
and do divers naughty things. But the Sergeant
alarms, fearing he might iDjOre himself, took him
into custody, and kept him perfectly safe, with
out permitting him 10 drink any more grog until
he became SOBER"
That is pretty fair sample of Southern brag
adocs. BY the by we noticed Mr.. GlpDrNGs in
town last week, looking well.-Ex.

TITUS AND WALKER.

The redoubtable H. T. Titus, who led the
hordes of Border Ruffians in Kansas, went to Mic
aragua with his company to aid Walker. A cor
respondent of the N. Y. Herald says that Titus
equipped and transported bis company at bis own
expense, and that the jealousy OfLockridge pre-
vented bis success. He more than hints that a
true history of Walkers military career will not
fail to inspire horror in the community. Fabri-
Gated reports were circulated to induce the idea
that Walker was successful, when the truth was
that be was in straitened circumstances. Walker
is accused of selfshness and personal ambition, to
further which he would sacrifice his best friend
and leave misery and desolation in bis trail.

duces cOnvusions in the space Of a minute.
A College of physicians said that not less than
twenty thousand in our land annually die by the
use of this poison.
A German periodical says that Oftwenty deaths
