The silver threads that minclc with The unburn or my brow. Warn me that Time's relentless hand

I« busy with me now Bui liprenmnng my nanve hirta, The ilioughts of nge depart, Anl all the gl»w of ninny youth

Comes bounding through my heart.

R»re the ripe Iruit away Anil is that not my father's house Which stands upon the hill And there, upon the brawling stream,

Clatters the busy mill.

"You are not old"-1 hit# Fancy said, Aa in a dre»m*like mood, Gnsina on oil these youthful scenes

Within the vale I stood turned—delusive Fancy fled— A monitress to nte, Stern an.l sincere, heaven's earth-born child.

A troop of children passed me by In all their noisy glee, And voicea fhouted, loud and clear,

Familiar names to me— The names of those whom one# I knew— The abaent and tho dead. Another generation trod

In war, an nccident—ft circumstance nppnreutly the most insignificant—mny frustrate tho most skilfully devised combinations. A glance nt the dt'fenecs which I cnusod to be conslructcd around the city is sufficient to discover the plan which I had proposed to my* self. The troops which 1 Ind ndvnnced by one of the flunks, supported by others posted (it echellcn nl convenient distances, were to have made a concerted retrograde movement, which I commanded nt the proper moment. A general who commanded a strong division of 5,000 men, nnd 24 pieces of artillery, whose hendquarter* were at the town of San Angel, was ordered by mo on the 18th. nl J] o'clock in the morning, to full back on tho village of Coyoacnn, in order to effect the concentration of forces, in consequence of demonstration already mado by the enemy, and for the purpose of ex telly carrying out my plan of operations. But this genernl, forgetting that there cannot be two commanders on th°fluid of buttle, nnd that the execution of a plan will not admit of comments that will annul or retard it, suffered himself to object to the orders which he had received and obedience nnd discipline, so indispe-nsable in military movements, having been banished from among us. thus rendering it necessnry, in order to avoid grenter nnd imminent evils, to tolerate what il would benbsurd to approve of, I suffered him, in spite of myself, per* severe in his purpose, nnd charge himself with the whole responsibility of tho conscquences. They were no less disastrous than they had been obvious, lie advanced rr.o/u proprio% [of his own nccord,] more than a lengue to choose a position from which to meet ihe enemy, without ncquninting me either with his movement or iiis intentions, llis refusal to obey the order sent him was tho first notice which I had of his temerity and soon afterwards tho report of cannon enabled me to ascertain the position he had tnken. and apprised me that nn action had commenced. Although weighed down with the presentiment of what wns to follow, 1 insinntly placed mv* self at the head of a Rplendid brigade of 4,000 men and 5 pieces of artillery. I arrived at the moment when tho enemy had cul off the rear of the position of lite ill-fnted general by a considerable force, whose operations I was then InrdU able to check, for it was now nearly n'ght.

The suspension of hostilities is always a good thing, because war is an evil nnd much more so after groat combinations have been frustrated. To snvo the cnpiial from tho hor rons of war, or at least defer them, was a consideration which 1 could not overlook, more particularly when viewed ns the means arriving at nn honorable pcace.

When two nations find themselves'in a slate of war, they have the reciprocal right lo make propositions, and this presupposes a doty to listen to propositions. A perpetual wnr is an absurdity, because it is a calamiiv and the instinct of ?elf-preservation, which is even stronger nnd more powerful in nations than in individuals, counsels that no means shall be disregarded which may lead lo nn advantageous adjustment.

A SERIOUS EVIL.

A correspondent of the Chicago Journal is denouncing the armies of Grasshoppers that nre so abundant on the prairies this season. They differ from the Kurnpcnn, being horseheaded and winged like llio African locust, nnd nre the worst kind of those plagues.— They are said to have increased very much during the last ihree yenrs, ond threaten to become a very serious evil.

The ravages of those insects are somewhat mitigated by the havoc made among them by

tho prairie fowls, which eal them greedily.

and thus destroy enormous numbers during the season, and prevent their increase lo a proportionate extent. It is recommended, in reference to tho usefulness of iho«e birds in this particular, that the killing of them should be prohibited by law until the harvest is ended sny between February nnd September.

The grasshoppers have in times past caused the greatest calamities of fnmine and pestilence in the world. In Ju'y, A. D. 59i and 1543, thev ravaged, as if under military or

NOT—ONIGTR* OF ITS NAMR.

—Mills, in his work on Chivalry, mentions thai the beautiful flower, called Forget-me* not, was known in England as early ss the time of El ward IV., nnd in a nolo he gives the following pretty incident in explanation of the name: '•Two lovers were loiteiing along the margin of lake, on a finesummer evening, when the mniden discovered somt fl twers of the Myositis growing on the water, close to ihe edge of an is'and, and at some distance from the shore. She expressed a desire to possess them, when her knight, in the true spirit of chivalry, plftnged irr.o ihe water, and swimming to the spot, took the wished for plant but hit strength was not equal to his during and feeling thnt he could not regain the shore* ulthough very near it, he threw the flowers upon ihe bank, and catting a last affectionate look upon his lady-love, ho said. 'Forget.me^ not,' and was buried in the water." I

Her peneirniion is intuitive—almost instinct—by a glance she will oraw a deep and just conclusion. Ask her how she formed it and she cannot answer the queetion.

GOOD AND TRUE.

A man, says Dr. Franklin, ns often gets two dollars for the one he spends in informing his mind ns he does for a dollnrhe lays out in any other way. A man eats up a pound of sugar, and it is gone, and the p'eastirn he has enjoyed hns ended but the information he gels from newspaper is treasured np in the mind, to be enjoyed nnew, nnd to be used whenever occasion or inclination cnll for it. A newspaper is not the wisdom of one man or two men it is the wisdom of the age. nnd ot past ages loo. A family without a newspaper is always half an age behind the times, in genernl information besides, they can never think much nor find much to Inlk nbout. And then there nre ihe little ones growing up in ignorance, without nny taste for reading, Besides all these evil?*, there'# the wife, who, when the work is done, hns lo sit down with her hands in her hp, nnd nothing to amuse her, or divert her mind from the toils ond cares of the domestic circle. Who, thcn» •vould bo without a newspaper!
