Little Boy Blue.

THE little toy dog is covered with dust.
But sturdy and stanch he stands;
And the little toy soldier is red with rust.
And his musket molds in his hands
Time was when the little toy dog was new
And the soldier was passing fair.
And that was the time when our Little Row
Blue
Kissed them and put them there.
NOW, don't you go till I come" he said,
And don't you make any noiser'
SO, toddling off to his trundle-bed
He dreamt of the pretty toys.
And. as he was dreaming, an angel song
our Little Boy Blue
On. the years are many, the years are long.
But the little toy friends are true.
Ay. faithful TO Little Boy Blue they stand,
Each in the same old place,
Awaiting the touch of a little hand,
The smile of a little face.
And they wonder, as waiting these long
years through,
In the dust Of that little chair,
What has become of our Little Boy Blue
Since he kissed them and put them there.

Doniphan's expedition are mile posts In
the history Of the war.
Negotiations for peace were opened by the
Mexicans and Santa Ana fed to the West
ndies- The Mexican Commissioner met
Mr. Trst OF the United States at the town
Of Guadalupe Hidaigo. where, on Feb
ruary ,. B&. q treaty OF peace was signed
by Nicholas p. Trisf on the part OF the
United States, and Seniors Couto, Atristain
ana cuevas on the part OF Mexico. Though
Mr.. Trist's powers had been withdrawn by
President Polk some time before, he ven
tured to continue his authority on the
ground that the opportunity of bring
ing the war to a close was too favorable
10 be lost The Commissioner appointed
~ the President to supersede him reached
Mexico a little later, but found the treaty
signed and sealed. 1t was forwarded to
washington. and was laid by the President
before the Senate. which body, after dis
cussion, ratified It, On July 4. 1875. Presi-
Dent Polk issued a proclamation announcing
the return of peace.
By the terms of the treaty the Rio
Grande was accepted by Mexico as the
Western boundary OF the United States and
OF Texas. and the provinces OF New Mexico
and Upper California were also coded to the
United States For this Immense territory
the Government OF the United States agreed
TO pay to Mexico n5.ooo.0o. and to assume
the debts due to American citizens from
Mexico. amounting to three and a half
million dollars.
BY the cession OF California and New
Mexico. and the adjacent territory, a tract
or land many times AZ large as France was
added to the United States holdings. Cali
fornia, Nevada. Utah. Arizona and parts
OF Colorado and New Mexico are portions
Of this purchase.
II Will be recalled that there was another
dispute over boundaries with Mexico, and
that IL was settled by the Gadsden Pur-
chase in 1853. by which considerable South
ern Territory was added to New Mexico
and Arizona.

The Ivy Green.

Oh, a dainty plant Is the Ivy Green.
Tfat creepeth DER ruins oldi
OF right choice food are his meals. 1 yeen.
In his cell so lone and cold.
The wall must be crumbled, the stone de-
cayed.
To pleasure hts dainty within;
And the moldering dust tina years have
made
Is a merry meal for him.
Creeping where no life is seen.
A rare old plant is the Ivy Green.
Fast he stealeth on, though he wears no
wings,
And a stanch old heart Is he;
How closely he fwineth, how tight he
clings
To bis friend the huge Oak-Tree!
Ant slyly he tFaileth along the ground,
And bis leaves he gently waves,
AS he 3oyously hugs and crawleth around
The rich mold OF dead mems graves.
Creeping where grim death has been.
A rare old plant is the Ivy Green.
Whole ages have aed and their works de-
cayed,
And nations have scattered been;
But the stout old Ivy shall never fade
FROM Its bale and hearty green.
The brave old plant, In its lonely days,
Shall fatten upon the past;
For the stateliest building man can raise
Is the Ivy's food at last.
Creeping on, where time has been.
A rare old plant Is the Ivy Green.

Monterey.
(Sept. I9-24. 1S46.)

Sept. 1874. 1S46.)
WE were not many-we who stood
Before the iron sleet that day;
Yet many a gallant spirit would
Give half his years II but he could
Have been with rs at Monterey.
Now here. now there, the shot II hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray.
Yet not q single soldier quailed
when wounded comrades round him
walled
Their dying shout at Monterey.
And cn-stfl on our column kept.
Through walls of flame. its whitening way:
Where fell the dead. the living slept,
Still charging on the guns which swept
The slippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When. striking where he strongest lay,
We swooped his hanking batteries past,
And. Drawing full their murderous blast,
Stormed home the towers of Monterey.
Our banners on those turrets wave,
And there our evening bugies play:
Where orange-boughs above their grave
Keep green the memory Of the brave
Who fought and fell at Monterey.
We are not who pressed
Beside the brave who fell tina day;
But who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have. been at Monterey?

importance of their accomplishment to the

through the matter of Texas Independence
and annexation. An important chain Of
events had a beginning in the movements
that led to the Alamo and San Jacinto.
To briefly state the facts II will be neces-
sary to recall that on March II. 1885,. Texas
proclaimed her Independence Of Mexico.
and that because Of the defeat Of Santa
Ana at San Jacinto. April q, this indie

authorities. March ., 1887. the United

Leaving thine outzrovn shell BY LIES unrestins

Doctor Holmes wrote neatly and with
much care His manuscripts for the printer
showed few corrections. On one OCCASION.
In sending a poem to a newspaper. he wrote
In the note that accompanied IL:
Poems are rarely printed correctly In
newspapers. This Is the reason so many
poets die young. Please correct carefully"
Yer all the doctors care could not always
save him from the inevitable errors of the
prfnting-house. says John I. Morse, Jr. IN
one OF his papers occurred the sentences:
IF all the medicine were thrown into the
sea, II would be the better for mankind and
the worse for the fishes" Blu instead OF
fishes the printed page made him say
physicians" The sentence as he intended
10 to be excited criticism enough. but the
proofreaders amendment changed criticism
into q storm Of indignation.
Mr.. Morse says: The doctor practices a
strict economy in what may properly be
called his literary business The wit and
humor and wisdom in his brain were his
stock In trade. just as the merchants goods
In his warehouse. He designed to deal with
them, guard and save them. and exchange
them to as good advantage for the paper
money Of the Republic-which I take to be
the proper adaptation for US Of the old
phrase, the coin OF the Realm"
The Autocrat says: What do you think

one that was talking good things. good
enough to print? Why said he. you are
wasting merchantable literature, q cash ar

Doctor Holmes appeared to be lavish IN
this fashion himself. / remember one even
ing two or three of US. then young cole
gians. were sitting at his dinner table, when
the Autocrat had Just taught him what
sums he could win by his brains. He talked
on most charmingly for an hour or two
after the cloth was removed: then suddenly
stopped short, sprang up. exclaimed why,
I believe I've wasted a hundred dollars
worth on you boys tonight" and vanished
merrily In a twinkling.

She Was a Phantom of Delight.

SHE was a phantom of delight
When first she CLEANED upon my sight:
A lovely apparition sent
To be a moments ornament:
Her eyes as stars of twilight fair:
Lake twiiights, too. her dusky hair:
But all things else about her drawn
From May-time and the cheerful dawn:
A dancing shape, an image gay.
To haunt, TO ~startle. and waylay.
I saw her upon a nearer view.
A spirit. yet a woman. tool
Her household motions light and free.
And steps of virgin liberty.
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records. promises as sweet.
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food:
For transient sorrows. simple wiles.
Praise. blame. love, kisses, tears and
smiles.
And now I see with eyes serene
The very pulse Of the machine:
A being breathing thoughtful breath.
A traveller between life n death:
The reason nrm, the temperate viii.
Endurance, foresight, strength. and skill:
"A perfect woman, nobly planned.
To warn, to comfort and command:
And yet a spirit still. and bright.

We Have Been Friends Together

WE have been friends together,
In sunshine and in shade,
since first beneath the chestnut trees
In infancy We played.
But coldness dwells within thy heart.
A cloud is on thy brow;
We have been friends together:
Shall a light word part US now?
We have been gay together,
we have laughed at little tests;
FOR the fount of hope was gushing
warm and joyous in our breasts.
But laughter now hath fed thy lin.
AND sullen glooms thy brow:
We have been gay together
Shall a light word part US now?
We have been sad together
We have wept with bitter tears
yer the grass-grown graves where Sum-
bered ~
The hopes of early years.
The voices which were silent there
would bid thee clear thy brow:
We have been sad together
Z. what shall part us now?
