" Let me tell yuur for. unes, pretty ia'iies-

lark eyed gypsy. as two ladies turned the
corner OF bcaurifslly sequesteTrcd lane,
eylnle the last rays of gorgeous sun were
merging into the more v"Iuptuous tinge of a
summer twilight.

was of the most swarthy hue, but interesting
in the expression her eyes were jet black
and her dark elf-locks, which hung dIsheve-
ed over her neck and shoulders, was partly
concealed by a small hat that was tied under
the chin by a partly colured handkerchief,
while her fguIe, of no ordinary mould, was
cncumbered by the tattered fragments Of an
old red cloak. The ladies paused for an in
slant TO contemplate the object before them.

younger lady, what, meyhap, you will not
not be loved again; you will sigh, but n"
sigh will be returned to you; You will weep,
tears will fall on your cheek like dew on the
summer flower, that dries bat receives fresh
moisture"
Without uttering a word, the ladies now
turned, and hastily pursued their way home

the beauty of the evening, farther than they
had intended. The Baroness D., for so

taken under her protection Annette De NJ

THE BATTLE OF AU-
TUMN. .
BY JOHN G.. WHITTIER.

BY JOHN G. WHITTIER.
The flags of war like sorm-birds fly.
The charging trumpets blow;
Yet rolls no thunder in the sky,
No earthquake strives below
And calm and patient nature keeps
Her ancient promise well,
Though DER her bloom and greeness sweeps
The battles breath of hell.
And still she walks in golden hours
Through harvest-happy farms,
And still she wears her fruits and flowers
Like jewels on her arms.
What mean the gladness ofthe plain,
This JOY of eve and morn,
The mirth that shakes the beard of grain
And yellow locks of corn.
All eyes may we'll be full of tears,
And hearts with hate are hot;
But eyen-placed come round the years.
And Nature changes not.
She meets with smiles our bitter grief
With songs of groans and pain;
She mncks with tint of flowers and leaf
The war fields crimson slain.
Still, in the cannon's pause, we hear
Her sweet thanksgiving psalm;
Too near to GOD or doubt or fear,
She shares the eternal calm.
She knows the seed lies safe below
The fires that blast and burn;
For all the tears Of blood ye SOW
She waits the rich return.
She sees with clearer eyes than ours
The cd Of suffering born
The 6 ris that blossom ike o, flowers
Aud ripen like her corn,
Oh, give to Us, in times like these,
The vision Of her eyes;
AMI MAKE her fields and fruitei trees
Our golden prophesias.
On, give 10 US her finer ear
Abvoe his stormy din,
We, too. wouIl hear be bells of cheer
Ring peace and freedom in.

WASHINGTON. March Judge Watts. the
delegate from New Mexico, has advices OF an
authentic character from Fort Craig to the llth
of February.
At that date the advance guard Of the United
States forces, 500 strong. under Capt. Wingate.
were ON the west side of the Rio Grande eight
miles below Fort Craig. being at Barajos.
On the driving Ia OF our Pickets Col. Candy
marched In force 10 that point and after anxious
ly waiting until night without any appearance Of
the enemy returned TO Fort Craig, leaving his
camp fires burning
Col CaBby's spy. Green, has captured the prin
cipal spy of Gen. Slbly and from him il was
certaned that the forces uuder Sibley consisted OF
$4,000 troops at Alimuso and l5.0uO behind.
with eight cannon and 300 beeves. and that he
expected reinforcements soon OF 900 lancers.
Under these circumstances Judge Watts Is
confident that no general engagement had taken
place, but perhaps only skirmishng OF the ad-
vance guard, which resulted in the falling hack
OF our troops on Fort Craig in order to prevent
the Texan cavalry from getting between our
forces in the advance and their Notifications at
Fort Craig.
The recently published dispatch form Denver
City is not on its face authentic, and must have
been verbally communicated through line Of
express riders over distance of seventy miles,
and Judge Watts has information which satisfies
him that The account is 10 say the least highly
exaggerated and some parts untrue.
