Upon the part Of Government officials

Cortina rules in defiance Of the Mexican

been made IN good faith. Nearly all the
Inhabitants upon the border depend on

For the Public Ledgerl
All! here it lies, devoid of life,
Only fragment now is seen,
A wither'd sprig dried up and brown,
Which once was call an evergreen
Hive for thee. oh noble tree,
Sweet emblem Of undying love,
That lives through all life's changing years,
Then soars away to God abovel
But dead thou art, as the frail hand
That pluck'd thee from the blooming tree.
A faded stem, all parch'd and dried,
Is all that's left here now for mel
Yes, here it lies, broken and dead,
The sacred evergreen he gave;
More treasured than the jewels rare.
Hidden beneath the ocean wavel
The FIRST memento of love,
As changeless as the cedar tree.
But time has thrown its whitening blight
0'er all that once were dear to mel
Crumbling in death, my little sprig,
Through a long lapse of waning years,
But one more farewell sigh for thee.
And then, I'll brush away my tears
Oh! what are tears to a crush'd heart
A wither'd. blighted, dropping form?
Oh what are tears? Torrents of woe,
Which gush forth like fearful storm
But there comes calm when the storm
Is Ger, calm that often cheers;
And to the lonely soul there comes
A calm after storm OF tears
