boat landing of the township, the termi-
nus of the railroad, and the commercial
emporium. Moriah Village, popularity
called The Corners, and known among
postmasters as Moriah, is the pleasant
est, most civilized and most American
quarter of the.town. 1t is the seat Of
Moriah Academy. 1t has the three orig
inal churches it has the town hall it
has the best hotel. Millbrook is a Wig
orous trading port, and has some manu-
features. Mineville and The Cheever
are at the principal ore. beds. Moriah
Village is two and one-half miles west
of Port Henry; Millbrook is one mile
north of Mofiah Mineville is mile and
a-half northwest of Millbrook and The
Cheever is on the lake shore two and
a-half miles north of Port Henry. Mine
vile is connected with Port Henry by
the Lake Champlain and Moriah rail
road, seven miles long.

THE GREAT SUMMER INFIGORANT.
fine sieve, Through these millions of ORR
fees a considerable portion of the waste
matter of the system exudes. But in warm
summer weather, when the flow of perspir-
atoms is excessively copious, something
besides the exhausted material of the
body is evaporated. Nutritive elements
of the blood, required for the sustenance
and support OF the living frame, pass
through the pores, and the result is a loss
of strength and vigor. 1t would be dam
gerous to check the leakage, for every
pore is at once q ventilation and an escape

detrimental to health as constip patton of
the bowels The Yisest course is to rein
force and vitalize the languid system with

able it to bear without peril or inconveni-

painful affections of the bowels and the

THE MEXICAN DIFFICULTY.

In commenting on, and condemning
General Mackenzie's raid, eighty miles
into Mexico, we took occasion to say,
Saturday morning, that we did not be-
lieve his lawless act would directly lead
to war with Mexico; that, it was
an act of war on our part, and unless
disavowed and apologized for by the
United States it would justify declar-
alton of war by Mexico but that,
owing to their weak and defenceless con-
dition, and the utter impossibility of
preserving peace within her own borders,
she would probably content herself with
simple protest, if any notice was taken
thereof at all, and give the matter the
go-by, without any attempt at hostilities.
The Mexican Minister, resident at Wash
ington, expresses, substantially, the same
opinion, basing his conclusions upon the
idea that "his own government he can
not concede to be less generous than our
own, and Secretary Fish, to whom alone
he can look for an authoritative exposi-
ton of the sentiments of this country
towards Mexico, has already set the pre-
cedent of generosity in case analogous
to that of Mackenzie's" This, Of course,
is a mere individual or, perhaps, semi.
official expression of opinion, as under
the laws and customs of Mexico, it is
necessary for their Congress to take the
preliminary steps before any official no
tice or protest can be taken OF these
matters. The remarks of the Minister
however, indicate, with sufficient clear
ness, his views of the matter under the
principles of international law. 1t was
an, unwarrantable invasion Of Mexican
territory, inexcusable by reason of acts
DONE. or omitted to be done, by our citi-
.zens or government; but Mexico can
afford to be generous. True, she can
afford to be generous but would she
be generous, if she was as rich, power
full and prosperous as we are?
The views entertained by our govern
ment, in reference to this class of forays,
may be gathered from a brief narration
of the events which led to the generosity
on the part of Secretary Fish alluded to.
Although the events occurred over
year ago, they are now, for the first
time, made known, and rather cHriously
the facts come from the Mexican Minis
ter himself. Early in the year 1872,
some sixty men, acting, it is said. under
the orders of the Governor of Chiahua-
hua, pursued a band Of horse stealing
Indians over the Rio Grande into Texas,
when fearing. ain attack from Colonel
Shafter, then in command of Fort Davis,
they hastily retraced their steps into
Mexico. Colonel Shafter reported these
facts to the government, and was In
structed "to pursue and, if possible, cap

ON THE STEAMSHIP ATLANTIC,
APRIL 1sT, 1873


Eight years ago sang, with trembling
breath,
A song of one who when the. spring was
young,
Her pale lips sealed with the seal of death,
Came home to sleep dear kindred graves
among.
Green was the grass we raised to give her
room;
Clear were the raindrops, tinkling as
they fell;
sweet was the pale arbutus' tender bloom
Round the last couch of her who loved
it wen.
Yet, in our blindness, how we wept that
day,
When the earth fell upon her cotfin-lid
O, ye beloved whom sing this day, -.
Gould we but know where your dear
forms lie hid!
Could we but lay you down by. her dear
Wrapped in the garments of eternal rest,
Where the still hours in slow succession
glide,
And not dream may stir the pulseless
breast
Where all day long the shadows come and
go,
And soft winds murmur and sweet song
birds sing
Where all night long the starlight's tender
glow
Falls where the flowers you loved are
blossoming-
Then should the tempest of our grief grow
calm
Then moaning gales should vex our souls
no more;
And the clear swelling of our thankful
psalms
Should drown the beat of surges on the
shore.
But the deep sea will Aot give up its dead.
o, ye who know where your beloved
sleep,
Bid heart's-ease bloom on each loye-guard-
ed bed,
And bless your God for graves whereon
to weep! j. c. r. d.
