Mr. Kendall, of the New Orleans Picayune, in his reminiscences of Uis recent captivity in Mexico, thus dotcribea a beautiful Mexican girl whom the captives passed in one of their toilsome and painful marches:

It was ia Albuquerque that I s»tw a {Perfect spooimen of iemale loveliness. The girl was poor, being dressed only in a chemise and coarse woollen petticoat but their was an air of grace, a charm about her, that neither birth nor fortune can bestow. She was standing on a mud wall, the taper fingers of her right band snpporting a largo pumpkin ••.»«uppn her head, while her left was gracefully resting on her hip»

Hor dark and lustrous oyo waa beaming upoo us, full of tenderness and pity, while an

unbidden tear of sorrow at our misfortunoa was coursing down a cheek of the richest brunettf. Innocence aod the best feelings of our nature were playiog in every lineament of that lovely face, and ever and anon, n« gome one of us more unfortunate than the -rest would limp Halting by, again her tears would illumine a countenance of purity.

She could not have been more than fifteen yet her loose nod flowing dress, but balf concealed a form of surpassing beauty and fattness plainly disdoeed .that she was just entering into womanhood Her figure was faultiest, and even the chisel of Praxiteles himself ne'er modelled ankles of such pure and classic finish.

As we passed, every eye was turned toil ward her and exclamations of admiration were upon every lip.

A WHEELING ARTICLE.

THe Wheeling Gazette is the father of the annexed sensible jirtic^ There is a moral in it:

Going to dinner the other day, we saw a little codger, about two feet old, sitting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel himself.— It struck u« that many people in this world are often caught in the same act, and we shall always think hereafter, ..

When we see a politician striving for office, taking the lead in all matters calculated to promote his success, writing all his own pufls, and callinff all his own meetings, he's silting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel himself.

When we see a business man trusting everything to his clerks, and continually seeking his own amusement—always absent from his counting house, and yet expecting to get along, he's sitting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel himself*

When we see a professional man better acquainted with everything else than his profession, always starting some new scheme, and never attending to his calling, his wardrobe and credit will soon designate him as sitting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel himself

When we see a farmer with an overabundance of "hired help," trusting everything 10 their management, his fences down, implements out of repair, and land suffering for want of proper tillage too proud or too lazy lo off coot and go to work, he's sitting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel himself W^When we see a mechanic run half a sqtiftre every day to borrow a newspaper, and maybe have to wait ten or fifteen minutes before he can get it, we shall suspect that the time he loses would soon pay the subscription, and consider him sitting in a wheelbarrow and trying to wheel hinuelf.^

~4" When we see a merchant too "penny \vise and pound foolish" to advertise his goods for sale, but sticking up written notices in his windows*.we shall think he's in a bad way, and will soon find himself sitting in a wheel' harrow and trying to wheel himself.

A medical gentleman of this city, a few days since visited the Lunatic Asylum on Black well's Island for the purpose of making some inquiries as to the mode of treatment of those unfortunate individuals who are at present confined in that department of our City Government.

After being shown into the department as-

for the females, where he was accosted by an elderly lady who was in the highest degree of insanity, when the following conversation took place between our visiter and the lady in question.

Lady—Sir: approach me not—I am the wife of Mr. Tyler, President of the United States. kf,

Visiter—Ah! How is Captain 'lyler? ^niLady—Don't Captain him%s^|ri^^r Tyler, if you please sir. l~^Visiter—I beg your pardon, Madam.— How is Mister Tyler?—and when do you expect to see him?

Lady—My husband is well, sir-—very well. The President, sir, will be here in a few days. He is to sign the Tariff, without Distribution, and then, sir, he will come here. He is the fUlest man in the country to grace these halts, and when he comes I shall be happy. —New York Tribune.

BRUTES AND MONSTERS.

Kendall's journal of the Santa Fe Expedition narrates some touching scenes which occurred on their march to the Mexican capital. The horrid and brutal wretches who acted as guard to the prisoners committed the most flagrant outrages with perfect impunity upon the weak and defenceless men, who were worn down by hunger, fatigued from over exertion, and perishing by disease for the want of attention. RMtd the following, and see how human beings are treated in a country professedly christian* but in fact barbarous

We had scarcely halted before it mis reported that one of our men, named Gates, who tod caught a severe cold, which had settled on his lungs, was dyins. On looking towards the waggon ia which the uftfortunate man was lying, it was evident enough he bad but a abort time to live. There was a glassy wildaess in bis eye which too phuitly denoted that his sufferings were soon to terminate. And here I will mention the most heartless piece of cruelty that occurred on the whole march. Gates retained his senses perfectly, and had just asked one of his comrades for a drink of water** |After swallowing it, a Mexican standing by wantonly took up a musket, pointed directly in the face o£4be dying man, and snapped

TUB POMS Ain THE QUAKER. Some time ago an English 'Quaker was hooored with an interview by his holiness the Pope.*? The Quaker, having passed through. France, bad been shocked at the manner in which Sunday was desecrated-in that ceyntry. He, therefore took the opportunity which the interview presented, of mentioning the subject to his holiness, and of suggesting to him the propriety of bis interference 4o cause Sunday to be kept holynnd free from secular employment. The Pope assured the Quaker that he was not ignorant of the open violation of the Sabbath in France, and was eslftnJetjrwt^. ous that it should, as it ought, be kept holy. The time was, when the person oecup jfttg the chair of St. Peter, could directly interfere ia the affairs of foreign states, and when emperors, kings, and princes attended to the behests of the Vatican. But the time bad changed. He could not now exercise any temporal authority beyond the papal states. All that he could do, to repress vice and crime in. foreign states, was by addressing letters of advice and remonstrance to the heads of the church in communion with the bolv Catholic xhurch in those states. He had remonstrated with those in France on the open violation of the Sabbath in that kingdom, and should not omit any opportunity of expressing his strong disapprobation of the anti-christian practices which there prevailed. The Quaker, gratified by the sentiments which he had given the successor of St. Peter an opportunity of expressing, thereupon took leave of his Holiness.—Liverpool Alhion. it,.j.

hold cut off a cat's head, and when its arteri al pulsation had ceased, took out the spinal marrow, and placed in its stead an amalgam of mercury, silver and zinc immmediatelv after this was done, the pulsation recommenced, and the body made a variety of movements. He took away the brain and spinal marrow of another cat, and filled up the skull and vertebral canal with the same metalic mixture. Life appeared to be instantly restored—the animal lifted up its head, opened and shut its eyes, and looking with fixed stare,endeavored to walk, and whenever it fell, tried to raise itself upon its legs. It continued in this state twenty minutes, when it fell dow* and remained motionless. During all the time the animal was in this state, the circulation of the blood appeared to go on regularly the secretion of the gastric juice was more than usual, and the animal hoat was te-established.
