SANTA ANNA.-Gen. Antonio Lopez de
Santa Anna, has concluded to play the part
of lacquey to the new Emperor Maxim ilian
the First, who has gracously condesct nded
to make him Field Marshal. Alas, for
poor human Mexican nature! This man,
Santa Anna, was once the recipient of the
highest honors which his country men could
confer upon him. He was the leader Of
their armies, he was their President, and
after he was President they made him Die.
tator. He availed himself Of his position
to amass an immense fortune, and when
the adversities Of civil wa, compelled him
to fee the country, he retirsd to the West
Indies to reap the benefit Of it, at the gam.
ing table, the cockpit, and other congenial
pastimes. After a few years Of life of
this kind, he now emerges from his retreat
to return to his native land, simply to play
into the hands of its oppressors, as if for
the sake OF picking up the crumbs that fell
from their tables.
This man Santa Anna is, or was, posses
sed Of certain qualities, civic and military,
which, il united to spirit of patriotism,
might have sent his name down to history
in letters of living light: but mercenary
disposition, with littieness Of mind, render
ed those qualities OF no avail; and so pos
terity are likely to hear of him only as
traitor who, after being idolizcd by his
countrymen, only lived to betray them,
and Esau, like, to sell his.nwn birthright for
a mess Of pottagc. N. y Erpress.

And shadows stealing for hours and hours.
And she, my Doris, whose lap encloses
Wild summer-roses of faint perfume,
The while sued her. kept hushed and hearkened

She touched my shoulder with fearful finger;
She said, ave iiDger. must not stay;

Behold them yonder, how tar they strayv'
l ans wered bolder, "Nay. let me hear you,
And still be near you, and still 8dore
No wolf nor stranger will touch one ycarling--
All ! stay, my darling, moment more!'
She whispered signing, ssThele will be Sc ROW

My fold unguarded, my flock unfoided--

THAT lambs are weakly and sheep are wild

And love did win me to swift reply;

Nor tray nor find you, until dc!''

But did brave them--I told her plainly
She doubted vany, she must be mine.
So we, twin hearted from all the valley
Did rouse and rally her nIbbling ewes;
And homeward drove them, We two together,
Through blooming heat her and cleaning dews.
That simple duty from grace did lend her,
My Doris tender, my Doris true;
That !, her warder, did always bless her,
And often press her to take her due.
And now in beauty she fills my dwelling
With love exeeiling, and u ndefiled; ..
And love doth guart her, both fast and fervent,
No more a servant, nor yet child.
