JEFFERSON DAyIs.-The Cleveland
(Ohio) Plajndealer, in speaking of the
military tastes and auainments of JEFF,
Davis, says;
"We never shall forget the first time
we called on him, merely to pay our re-
spects, while Secretary Of War under
Pierce, Although total stranger, be
took US to a map hanging on the wall,
representing the Crimean country, and
on which he had traced in red lines the
encampments, works, bitches, and other
operations Of the allied armies at Sebas-
topol. His countenance glowed when he
described the feats of generalship there
displayed, and we learned from him in
that short interview all the peculiarities
of the English, French, and Russian
modes of warfare. their military disci-
pline and military men. lie evidently
sighed then to be Napoleon"
This estimate of jefferson Davis is
probably not far from the truth. We
have heard through private sources that
those who know him best say that the
achievement of a great military fame is
the darling object Of his ambition. lie
believes he is bound to attain that honor.
But "man proposes, and that's all he
can do. This aspiration, however, is to
be taken into account in all speculations
upon the prospects Of the present crisis.
Davis will fight if there is any chance,
in his opinion, Of winning personal glory
by it, although the result might promise
no advantage to the Southern Confedera-
cy. He will have to be oyerruled by his
confederates, or vanquished, as he surely
will be in the war.

AFRICAN DISTRESS.

Help oh, help thou God of Christians
Save mother from despair
Cruel white men steal my children!
God Of Christians, hear my prayer
From my arms by force they're rendedi
Sailors drag them to the sea-
Yonder ship, at anchor riding,
Swift will carry them away.
There my son lies, stripped and bleeding,
Fast with thongs his hands are bound.
See, the tyrants, how they scourge him
See his sides a reeking wound.
See his little sister by him
Qualing, trembling, how she lies
Drops Of blood her face besprinllle;
Tears Of anguish fiji her eyes.
Now they tear her brother from her,
Down below the deck he's THROWN
Stiff with beating, through fear silent
Save single death-like groan.
Hear the little creature begging
Take me, white men, for your own
Spare, oh, spare my darling brother
He's my mothers only son
See, upon the shore she's raying,
Down she falls upon the sandsi
Now she tears her flesh with Madness
Now she prays with lifted hands.
am young, aud strong, aud hardy
Hes a sick and feeble boy
Take me, whip me, chain me, stmyc me,
An my life I'll toll with joy.
Christians who's the God yoa worship
Is he cruel, fierce, or good
Does He take delight in mercy,
Oh in spilling human blood
All, my poor distracted mother
Hear her scream upon the shore"
Down the savage captain struck her,
Ltelcss ON the vessels floor
Up his sails he quickly hoisted-
To the ocean bent his way
Headlong plunged the raying mother
From high rock, in the sea.

IRAsBURGH. VERMONT FRIDAY MAY "A, 1861


if woman is in trouble she must stay at
home and bear it the best way that she
can. And there's more women bearing
such things than weknow Of, dare say.
Like enough. We never know whose
hands get pinched in trap unless they
scream. And women are too shy or too
sensible, which you may choose, for any
such thing.
Did you ever, in all your wanderings,
meet any one by lie name of Samuel
Payson? ? asked the widow, unconcern-
edly.
The stranger looked toward her-she
was rumaging her drawer for her knitting
work, and did not notice him. When it
was found and the needles in motion, be
answered her.
'PaysoD2 Sam Payson2 Why, he
was my most intimate friend. Do you
know him.
A little-that is, used to when | was
a girl. Where did you meet him?
He went with me on the whaling voy-
age I told you Of, and afterwards to Cal
itornia. We had a tent together, and
some other fellows with US, and we dug
ir the same clam for more than six
months.
Suppose he was quite well?'
Strong as an OK, my dear lady.
'And-and-and quite happy? said
the widow, bending very closely over her
knitting.
Hum the less said about that the bet
ter, perhaps. But he seemed to enjoy
life after a fashion of his own. And he
got rich out there, or rather, l will say
we'll off.
He did?
Yes, madam.
But Mrs Cobb did not pay much at

ieutly she had not finished asking ques-

BURG COLUMBIA COUNTY, PA, SATURDAY, MAY 4, 1861

On the 25th of December the Costitu-
tional forces ocupide the capital without
firing gun, and without disorder Of any
kind, and on the 1lth of January of the
present year ils6l), the Constitutional
Government of President Juarez was rees-
tablished in the capital of the Republic,
whence it was driven just three years be-
fore by the rebellion which has now SO ig.
ANONYMOUSLY terminated.
During all this long struggle the moral
countenance of every foreign Power, with
the exception latterly of the United
States, has been withheld from the cause
of Constitutional, liberal Government for
which the people were struggling, and
thrown, with sometimes open aid and sup
ort, on the side of the church and the army,
seeking to establish irresponsible power,
and, if possible, monarchical institutions
But, unaided and the cause of the people
and of progress has triumpthed; the Con.
stitution of 1857, and the representative
Government under it, again reign supreme
in Mexico.

She Numbered from her mountain hsighth,
In all the majesty of might,
And loud proclaimed from zone to zone,
That Liberty was on her throne;
She turned her proudc eye on the East,
And murmured, Now thy reign has ceased"
Then cast her bright smile on the West,
And whispered TO her children Rest"
From Maiuc's dark pines to Southern lands
From IIudson's heights to Bisbees sands
From where the river monarchs pour
To where Atlantic laves the shore
Colunbia's sons arose and came
To find their purchased home a name
Their sires united, fought and died,
Their children following, side by side,
And all, in union, dealt the blow
That laid oppresson's tyrant low
United in their hopes and fears
Mingled in one their common fatcs-
One voice proclaimed -USirED STATES.
And they were blessed for peace came down
Aud spread her happy influence round;
While pure Religions holy fight
Dispersed the shades of moral night
And pilgrims from earths farthest strand
Came to find rest in Freedoms land.
And nourishcs her soil one
Who'd breathe the words, "Be Freedom done :"
Protects she one who'd raise his hand
To disunitc this glorious land I
Then let him turn in shame away
For him does Freedom shed no ray;
But brightly shall her beacon light
The path ofthosc who bravely fight
To save this dear aud prosperous land
Forever from opprcssons hand,

A Clergyman in Scotland desired his
hearers never to call one another liars, but
when any one said anything that was not
true, they ought to whistle. One Sunday
he preached sermon on the parable of
the loavos and fishes, and being at a loss
how to explain it, he said the loavcs were
not like those now a-days; they were as
big as the hills of Scotland He had
scarcely pronounced the words, when he

Our boat at first glides down the narrow

grassy borders. I he trees shed their BIOS
SONS over our young heads, the FLOWERS

our young hands, we are happy in hope,

US; but the stream hurries on, and still
our hands are empty. Our course in youth
and manhood is along wider and deeper

nifcent. We are animated at the moving
picture of enjoyment and industry passing
around us; are excited at some short lived
disappointment. The stream bears us on
and our joys and griefs are alike left be-

cannot be delayed; whether rough or
smooth, the river hastens to his home, till
the roar of the ocean is in our cars, and
the tossing of waves is beneath our feet and
