Sir George touches upon one exceedingly inter
estng point. All Adventures who leave the scenes
of their nativity to grapplo with fortune in foreign
lands have pet grievance Aneas was fairly
smoked out of house and home, or the world would
have had no Rome. Sir George Buckley, X. G. C.,
is also mounted upon bis injuries AS q

South has but forty-fve. "Be we men y Sir

Then too there is unhappy Mexico-the heart
Of Sir George is undergoing horrible hemorrhage
on her accounts and the ears of Sir George are
filed with her cries for "help." He proposes, his
Knigts of the Golden Circle assisting, to give her
"a rank among nations"-to rescue her from 4" the
"brpapd and barbarous brutes who now burn, pr

We can see Sir George now, in our minds eye,
with monopoly of two sehoritas and private
bottle of aguardients, surrounded by the chiefs of
bis army, and martially and melodiously warbling
Yankee Doodle. If this will not give Mexico ga
crank among nations, " We do not know what will.
What the rank will be, we leave the reader to de-
termine.
But Sir George, like a prudent commander,
directs his Golden knights not to come to the south
bank of the Rio Nueces empty handed. They are
requested to bring with them wagons, mules,
" oxen, horses, CATTLE spades and blankets"
Nothing is said of " two towels and spoon"

cash. o discouraging regulation A man may
be bold-a man may be brave-but unless he can,
by begging borrowing, or stealing, raise twenty
dollars, his room will be better than his company
on the banks of that shining river. But we have
still more discouragiDg intelligence. Sir George
gives timely notice that none but respectable men
can march under bis colors. He will have no

city and elsewhere, who propose to consecrate
themselves to this kuightly work, will see the
necessity of instantly commencing their purgation,
and of looking about to see which of their friends
has twenty dollars to spare. For cash, after all,
