'El día 2'se publicó y   circuló   la  proclama
que a continuación insertamos:
'.   " El general Antonio Lopez dc Santa
a sus compatriotas ■■
:' ¡Mejicanos!—Al poner el pie en las playas
de mi patria os saludo con la mas viva emoción. ' Mí pechó a palpitado de ternura desde
que mis ojos comenzaron a descubrir al acercarme a nuestras costas las elevadas montañas
que indican la proximidad do una tierra en que
'todo es caro á mi corazón, en la que todo me
presenta los mas gratos   recuerdos.
Me habéis llamado, creyéndome útil para
sacaros del estado de anarquía y disolución $■
que habéis caido, y no he tardado en acudir a
vuestra voz. Teneiame ya en vuestro suelo,
resuelto a emplear todo3 mis esfuerzos en un
objeto de importancia tan esencial; pero ei he
estado pronto' a venir a vuestro llamado es
contando con vuestra eficaz cooperación. De
nada servirá mi firme resolución de consagrarme todo entero a la salvación de la patria si
cada uno de vosotros no me auxilia, coadyuvando con todo cuanto- pueda al legro de estas
íniras.
: Muy lejos de mi pensar en vengar antiguos
agravios: los que han querido ser mis enemigas depongan todo temor : todo está olvidado y
al pisar las playas de mi patria presento a todos la mano de amigo, ' Tampoco vengo a hacer prevalecer ningún partido: sola vengo a
levantar el estandarte sagrado de la union,
Convocando a seguirlo a todos los mejicanos,
cualesquiera que sean sus opiniones. Todo
aqucl'cuyo corazón late y se conmueve a la voz
de la patria e¿e es mi amigo, ese es mi compañero.
¡Mejicanos! Demasiado tiempo nos heraoB
dejado arrastrar por ideas quiméricas: demasiado tiempo hemos pordido en disensiones intestinas: una triste rcalidadha venido a traernos
un funesto desengaño. ¿ Qué tenemos al cabo
üe treinta años de independencia'! Echad una
mirada sobre el mapa do vuestra patria y bailareis una gran parte de vuestro territerio
perdido. Examinad el estado de vuestra
hacienda y no encontrareis mas que desorden
abuso, ruina. "| Cuál esvuestro crédito en el
exterior '? ¿ Cual es el concepto de que gozáis entre las nación estranger is 3 ¿ Dónde
está esc ejército en ouyas filas he tenido
la honra de militar, ese ejército que hizo
la independencia, en la que me glorio de
haber tenido no ¡pequeña parte, ese ejército
que yo conduje a través de los desiertos y
Venciendo dificultados que parecía» insuperables has'a la frontera de la repnblica, a cuyo
frente rechacé una invasion enemiga, y con el
que combatí con poca fortuna, pero no sin honor, cuando vuestra capital fue ocupada por
los enemigos 1 '    -   -
¡ Mejicanos ! Volvamos en nosotros mismos;
anrovecheraos las duras lecciones de la experiencia; reparemos los herrores que hemos cometido. Aquí me tenéis para contribuir por mí
parte a esa honrosa reparación, Trabajad
conmigo de buena fe en esta obra gloriosa y toda-
podemos tenerpatria, honor nacional y un
nombre que no noá avergocemos de llevar.
¡Soldados! ¡Compañeros de armas! Ved
nuevamente a vuestra cabeza a yuestro antiguo
general, al que'os ha conducido alguna vez con
glorin, al que ño os ha abandonad» en el momento del infortunio, al que lleva en su cuerpo
una honrosa mutilación y que con vosotros ha
expuesto su pecho alas balas enemigas en lo«
dias de vuestras desgracias. Oid una voz que
-, ho os es desconocida. Seguid a vues' ro general y amigo: restituyamos a nuestra profesión
él lustre de que ha querido privársela, y aunque las relaciones de amistad que existen con !
todas las naciones, y que cultivaré con todo
á*mero, no hagan por ahora necesaria vuestra ,
nacional bizarría, estaremos prontos, si el honor
lo exigiere,a probar a lafaz de todo el mundo el
valor que han abrigado siempre en su pecho
los soldados mejicanos.
¡ Mejicanos de todas clases! El dia de mi
regreso a la patria sea el día de la reconsiliací-
on general, y qui el júvilo que me causa el
hallarme entre vosotros se acredite viéndoos a
todos reunidos al rededor del estandarle nacional, oyéndoos a todos aclamar cen la misma
union y entusiasmo que en  1821 :
".Viva la patria, viva la Inpendenc:a!" Estos deceos con que me presento a vuestro llamado, estos los votos de vuestro compatriota
y amigo.
Heroica Veracruz, abril 2 de 1853.—Antonio
Lopez de Santa Anna.
A'ada ee sabia aun   sobre el  programa  que
I adoptaría el general Santa Anna, Humado  por
la quinta vez a regirlos destinos de la patria.
Sus antecedentes, y   algunas   palabras   de   su
entrevista y de su proclama, autorizan la   creencia de que tratará de restablecer el   sistema
central.    Los intereses que la federación a creado ya en aquei pais «o pueden ser   destruidos
H eon impunidad, en nuestro concepto,   y juzgamos que el general Santa Anna meditará   mu
cho antes de añadir al desorden politico y soci
al en que encuentra a su pais otro nueva complicación, capaz de encender con mas   calor la
[ desastrosa guerra oivil.
El lamentable estado en que se encuentran
las fronteras del Norte habia sugerido al gobierno la necesidad de encargar el mando de las operaciones aun general de acreditada pericia. Con
■ Al Evcmo | este objeto salió de Veracruz para Tamaulipaa
el general 'Woll, quien lleva el especial encargo
de acabar de una vez eon el traidor Carvajal.
Este habia vuelto a invadir el territorio con 600
aventureros, üabht sido capturado don Bernardo Capazas, uno de sus jefes, y fusilado después de identificada au persoga. Poi tanto, esta ya declarada la guerra a muerte contra los
invasores. Carvajal ha perdido también todo
prestigio en la parte americana; los que les si-
§ guen son-mejicanos traidores, y algunos soldados licenciados de los tiradores de Tejas, que
habian cumplido su enganche. No llevan otra
insignia que el robo y el desorden,y solo el estado de completa anarquía en que aquel territorio se encuentra ba podido detener su inmediata destrucción; mas la presencia del general
Woll la efeeturá bien pronto. Los hombres
de bien de ambas riberas del Rio Grande lo desean asi de común acuerdo.
Se habia cencluido en Méjico un tratado garantizando la neutralidad del Istmo de Jehuan-
tepec, bajóla concesión del Cl. Sloo, entreeljuez
Conkling, Ministro délos Estados Unidos, y dos
comisiones del gobierno   mejicano.    En Washington se esperaba por   momentos  este documento.    Un corresponsal   escribe de la   última
ciudad, con  fecha 17 de   Mayo, que   según las
noticias extraordinarias que se tienen sobre sue
cláusulas, la administración está inclinada a re
probarlo.    Parece  que  se ha pactado en el la
garantía conjunta de les  Estados Unidas y de
Inglaterra, y que Mr Pierce es  opuesto a esta
espeeie de sociedad.     Las desconfianzas del gobierno contra la consesion  da Sloo se  han aumentado  con el   rumor,   falso ó  verdadero, de
haber sido Mr. Falcconet, agente en Méjico de
los acredóres británicos, el que suplió el dinero
para, hacer la primera   entrega al   gobierna en
cumplimiento del contrato del coronel Sloo; yque
en virtud de esto, el libro de inscripción de acciones se abrirá solamente en Méjico y en Londres. . El corresponsal de Washington asegura
que, en este caso, la administración esta resuel
a exigir el reconocimiento de la concesión Garay.
El Senado se disolvió sin aprobar las resoluciones presentadas por la Comisión de Relaciones
Exteriores, con respecto asta cuestión, por haber dado a entender Mr. Pierce que no eran necesarias' estando dicidido a presentar un ultima,
turn, si las circunstancias lo hacían necesario. Se
decia que elgobernador Seymour, de Conecicut.
iba a ser nombrado Ministro en Méjico, en reemplazo deljuez Conkling.
A Estos rumores que me vienen de Washing-
ten debemos agregar la protesta que han hecho
las sociedades mejicanas unidas con la de Sloo
para obtener el privilegio.    Dice asi:
" Las compañías mejicanas asociadas ala
mixta de Sloo para la empresa de via de comu
nioacion interoceánica por el istmo de Tehua-
ntepec han llegado a entender que el privilegio concedido por el gobierno mejicano en 5 de
febrero del año corriente alas cuatro compañías asociabas ha sido hipotecado en esta capital
por la del Sr. Sloo, y que se trata de trasladar
la hipoteca a un país extranjero: y como las expresadas compañi as mejicanas no han prestado
su consentimiento para tales actos, protestan
de nulidad contra elks en la parte que pueda
afectar sus intereses, y contra cualquier otra
hipoteca que se haya hecho, o que en lo suce
civo se hiciere dentro o fuera de la república
sin el consentimiento expreso de todas las compañías asociadas.    Mejico, marzo 20 de 1853.
La concesión de Sloo solo tenia de favorable
el haber conjurado la tempestad que amenaz iba
a la República por el estado en que se encontraba la cuestión con respecto a la concesión
de Garay; mas los antecedentes referidos, si
resultaran confirmados, le quitarán aquel mérito, y dejarán expuesto el país aciertas complicaciones,
Conversion al Catolxismo —Un ministro
de la iglesia episcopal protestante, el Rev. M.
Baker, pastor de la iglesia de San Pablo en
Baltimore, acaba de convertirse ala religion
católica apostólica romana. Este suceso ha
causado en Baltimore una viva sensación entre
lai seetae protestantes.
linede las dos mnge-
La causa de este malvado,   que   anunciamos
habia s;do   sentenciada   en   primeva instancia,
declarándole asesino en primer grado, volvió a
reponerse en el estado de sumario, por haberse
comprobado por su defensor que uno de los jurados que ocurrieron al primer juicio no habia
sido legatmente nombrado,   habisndo   asistido
en vez de otro de los designados por la suerte
Fue necesario1 construir de nuevo' el tribumü-
tropeznndo para ello con dificultades que  durante dos dias despertaron   las   esperanzas del
culpable de evadir el castigo de la ley por defecto de jueces que   pudieran   aplicarla,     Los
primeros jurados se habian   inhabilitado   para
el juicio desde  que   manifestaron   su opinion
sóbrela culpabilidad del reo; fue preciso   organizar nuevas listas y sacar do'ia   nombres  nuevos que no hubiesen formado opinion en   aquella causa; mas habiendo esta ocupado tanto la
opinion en Filadeltía, resultaba que todoatcs llamados confesaban haber formado y   expresado
su juicio en el asunto, reconociéndose inhábiles
para deliberar.    Por fin, después de   do»   dias
de continuo trabajo se encontraron   doce hombres imparciales y se construyó el nuevo   tribunal, Gon evidente desagrado del culpable.
Abierta la causa a pruba y tomadas de nuevo las declaraciones de los testigos, estos se ratificaron en sus dichos, y la defensa nada
nuevo pudo producir en favor del reo. El j'-i-
rad© se retiró para deliberar, y aunque estubo
largo tiempoen conferencia, al fin pronunció
el mismo fallo contra Spring Arthur, padre.
a hablar antes
Este pidió entonces permiso par
de que el juez hiciese aplicación del derecho y'
habiéndole sido concedido, hizo una larga exposición manifestando, entre otras cosas, que su
hijo le había dicho que iria a la casa de Carrol1
residencia de las victimas, el jueves por ¡anoche, y tomaría el dinero, pues ilir. Linch, marido de una de ellas, se habia ido a Nueva
York. Que el trató de disuadirlo de que cometiese el robo, que no le manifestó que pensaba asesinar a las mujeres; que su hijo le dijo
que se fuese a acostar, lo cual hizo, y que aquel
volvió después por la noche y le pidió su porta-
moneda manifestándole que se habia apoderado
del dinero. En la mañana su hijo salió y
compró las camisas, dándole dos duros al acusado. Su hijo no le indicó que hubiese asesinado a las mujeres, ni el supo nada sobre este
crimen hasta que se le arrestó. Concluyó asegurando su inosencia, é insistiendo en la culpabilidad de su hijo; dijo que moriría, pero
que moría inocente.
El juez reprendió agriamente al preso por
su pé) tinada, sosteniendo cargos tan improbables cuando eran ya eontados los días de
vida que quele daban.Hizo un resumen del juicio
y de las pruebas para manifestar la completa
falsedad de todo 10 que habia expuesto, y le
esh ;rto por conclusion a no morir con la mentira en los labios, y a manifestar mas bien la
verdad para salvar el carácter de su hijo hasta
del aliento de la sospecha. Después de lo expuesto no puede quedar duda alguna sobre la
suerte que cabra dentro de poco a aquel padre
desnaturalizado.
Circuios espirituales.
La locura del esplritualismo anglomericano
sigue tomando tales proporciones, que a pesar
de estar nosotros mismos presenciando sus diarios estragos, no lo creyéramos sino hubiésemos
concurido personalmente a algunos de esos
círculos, en que los hombres de razón solo pueden admirar la seguedad de los quedan crédito
a tan ridiculaimpostura. No podemos dar hoy
cuenta de un ¡meeting espiritualista reunido
actualmente en Springfield, al cual han concurrido 3 ó 400 medios y creyentes de diversos
puntos de la Union, contándose entre ellos varios ministros protestantes. Casi todos están
dando razón délas . comunicaciones' que han
tenido con los andeles y demás habitantes de
las esferas celestes. Un tal Mr. Smith, ministro protestante, ha dejado atónito a. su au iito-
rio con la relación de su potencia espiritualista;
vé al través del cuerpo humano; puede contar
las menores fibras internas; descubrir el asiento
de las enfermedades y curarlas, y por último
ha recorrido en alas del espíritu, guiado puf los
angeles, todos los planetas desde Venus hasta
Hsrschell, y ha hecho a sus cofrades una exposición sobre la civilización, los usos, costumbres
y ocupaciones de su« habitantes, exposición
que edificó a aquellos creyentes. La seriedad
con que todo esto se dice y se oye por tan I
numerosa y al parecer respestable reunion, ■ s
la prueba mas acabada de que todos ios que la
componen están locos, y de que pronto irán a
parar a alguno da los asilos que la car dad pública sostiene para recibirlos.
entretanto, el Setinel de Roma, Estado de
Nueva York, anuncia que Mr. Ebenezor Pope,
ciudadano respetable de .Milton, se ahorcó el
jueves de la semana pasada, en un acceso de
locura producida por el espititualismo. La
víctima era padre de una familia numerosa.

Insomnio,
¡Acibar en el alma todo el dia!
¡La angustia devorándome inclemente!
■En mi pecho, de hiél brota un torrente!
¡Y treguas no hay a la cengoja mia!
Impaciente te espero ¡noche umbria!
Quiero en tiniebl is envolver ra   menta
Y en un sueño letárgico, indolente,
Olvido hallar a mi desdicha impia.
¡Vana esperanza! que el insomnio 'horrible
Mis ojos viene a mantener abiertos ■
.   Y a aceeentar mi padecer terrible
No tienes, noche para mi, apacible
Calma——la paz anhelo de los muertos,
Que al insomnio ia nadaos preferible.

Loemos en un periódico de üadrid el gracioso lance siguiente:
"Un pobre carbonero que dormía á pierna
suelta, alborotó una de eBtas últimas noches el
bario, creyendo que andaba algún espectro en
la carbonería. Después de haber cenado se
entregó nuestro hombre en brazos do Morfeo,
pero oyendo un ruido terrible, se despertó sobresaltado. Oyó, erizándosele los cabellos y
dando diente con diente, un sonido acompasado
y monótono, como el que baria una calabera que
chocase contra la pared, y notó que el ruido
se iba acercando cada vez mas lenta y temerosamente. Después conoció por una ligera presión que sintió en los pies, que el espectro se
habia subido a su cama y que hacia los mayores esfuerzos para levantar la ropa.      .    .
Un sudor trio cubrió entonces el rostro del
acongojado carbonero, que comenzó a encoger- 1
se basta llegar con las rodillas a la barba, en. \
tanto que la aterradora vímoü avanzaba bacía j
sus últimos atrincheramiento;. Pronto sintieron sus preset coatacto frió de un cuerpo i
extraño, y eu tan apurada cituacion nuestro
hombre se decidió a abandonar su lecho ( lo
cual verificó dando un salto que hubiese envidiado el mas ágil acróbata ), y a gritar con
toda la fuerza de sus pulmones: ¡socorro socorro! A, lúa gritos acudieron varios vesiuos,
quienes enterados del caso se aoercaron, no-sin
algún temor, al leeh,o donde reposaba tranquilamente el duende maligno, y comenzaron a
levantar con tiento las mantas. Y entonces
vieron... vieron al gato del oarbonero, que con
la cabeza embutida en la ella de la cena
a guisa decasco romano, se habia dirijido al le*
cho de su amo, sin duda para que le librase de
aquel estorbo, el cual habia ocasionado todo el
bullicio. La ira del carbonero no tuvo límites,
ni tampoco la risa de los vecinos, que se marcharen de aquel sitio dando por bien empleada
la incomodidad, en gracia de la diversion que
les había prporcíonado."

Maple Sugar.
The quantity of sugar obtained from the
splendid growth üf the Northern forests, is not
generally known. The mnple grows to a magnificent size—its height being sometimes ahun-
dred feet: it grows best in a Northern climate
is highly ornamental, and makes
fuel, and flourishes to the ripe okl
years its principal value 'is from the sap
which it yields in the spring, merely for the
manufacture of sugar.
In 1850, there were thirty four millions of
pounds of sugar manufactured. It is produced
m twenty-seven states ofthe Union. New York
producing the largest quantity, li).S10;744 lbs:
Vermont nest, 5,159.641 ; and Ohio next, 4,-
528.548.
[n addition to this large yield of maple sugar
in tho States, the Indians east of the jViississip-
pi river make 10,000.000 and those west of the
river. 2,000,000 pounds. The maple sugar
product ofthe Ganadas, in 1843j amounted to
6,463.825 pounds
Besides the above sugar crop, there was a
yield by the sugar man e iu the United States
in 1850, of 40,000,000 galls of maple molasses.
Anecdote ofDr. Beeclier.
During the prevalence of a revival in h"
church, in Boston, the number of perso:
siring religious conversation was so gi eat,smiintimes amounting to several hundred, that he
was accustomed to employ younger clergymen
to assist him. On one occasion a young An -
doverian was conversing with one who believed
herself to be converted, within the doctor's
hearing. The young man was probing the
grounds of" her evidence, and ainon^ other
questions was overheard asking the lady if she
thought she was willing to be damned for the
glory of God. Instantly starting up, the doctor said to him, 'Whht was that you were saying? '1 was asking her if she should be willing to be damned for the glory of God. "Well,
sir, would you be willingl' '\es, sir, I humbly hope I should be.' 'Then, sir, you ought
to be damned.' Afterwards he took occasion
to enlighten him in a better thee logy.
TJie Loan of a Pipe.
One of our .-lieutenants sent a Serjeant to a
niannamcd Rielly whom he saw smoking with
a request for the loan of his pipe.
'Arrah. sweet is your hand in a pitcher of
honey, mv jewel,' said Rielly; 'the lieutenant
is mighty condescending. May be you would
be piase i, serjeant, to inform the lieutenant,
along with my complimenta,that if he will wait
till Rielly has hia owu smoke—may the Holy
Virgin be near us! may be it's the last smoke
ever the same Rielly will take; and till Micky
Ryan, who axed the pipe afore him, has had a
turn of it, I'll not be agin lending him the
pipe ' 'Faith, ye hae sent the serjeant off wi1
a flea in his lug.' said a broad spoken countryman of mine of the name of Findlay 'Bad
luck to the impidence ofthe rapscallions, sure
it's a gag they would be after putting in my
mouth in place of a pipe, if I was to ask one of
themselves for a loan of the same thing.' was
the rejoinder of Teddy Rielly. [Scenes in the

A Turkish Cadi's Letter.
: We find the following letter from Layard'a
second volume on Nineveh, in the Literary
World. It is the reply of a Turkish Cadi in
answer to inquiries touching the commerce,
population and antiquities of his city. It is a
gem comparable with the most stolid human
"headed bull of the mound of Nineveh:
"My illustrious friend and joy of my liver*
"The thing you ask of me is both difficult and !
useless. Although I have passed all my days
in this place, I have neither counted the houses
nor have I inquired into the number of the inhabitants; andas to what one.person loads on
his mules, and the other stows away in the bottom of his ship, that ia no business of mine —
.But above all as to the previous history of'thi
city, God only knows--thi amount of dirt and
filth the inñdels'may have eaten before the
coming ofthe sword of Islam. It were unpiof-
itable for us to inquire into it. ;
'■Oh, my soul! oh. my lamb! seek not after
the things that concern thee not. Thou earnest
unto us and we welcomed thee ; go in peace
"Of a truth thou hast spoken many words;
and there is no harm done, for the speaker is
one.and, the listener is another. After the
.fashion of thy people thou hast wandered from
one place to another until thou art happy and
content in none. We, praise be to God. were
born here and never desiri to quit it. Is it
possible, then, that tbe idea of a general inte--
course between mankind should make nny impression on our understandings'! God forbid!
''Listen, oh. my son! There is no wisdom
equal unto the belief in God! He created the
world, and shall we liken ourselves unto him in
seeking to penetrate hito the mysteries of his
creación! Shall we say.behold this star spinncth
round that star, and thia Other star with a tail
goeth and Cometh in so many years? Letit go!
He from whose hand it came will guide and
direct it.   ¡
:'But thou wilt say unto me, Stand aside, O
man, for I am more learned than thou art. and
have seen more things. Ifjhou thinkest that
thou art in this respect better than-T am, thou
art welcome. I praise God that 1 seek not
that I require not. Thou art leirned in tbe
thincs I care not for:.~nnd as for that which
thou hast seen, I defile it. Will much knowl
edge create thee a double belly, or wilt thou
seek Paradise with thy eyes'?
••Oh. my friend! if thou wilt be happy, say.
There is no God but God! Do no evil.and thus
wilt thou fear neither man nor death, for sure
ly. thine hour will come !

"Imaum Ali Zadi."
Mi-. Georjje JLaiv.
This gentleman having of late caused some
noise id the world. The Boston Herald gives the
following facts in relation to him:
"Mr Law was originally a journeyman stone
mason, and in'the opinion of his then associates, his ambition ran no higher than to do a
fair day's work for a fair day's wages. They
were deceived. The High Bridge over the
Harlem rirer, was the triumph of American
merchants. The bridge was the key stone
ui'on which Law,built .his fame and fortune.
In 1838 he contracted tc build a section of it,
and cleared $40,000 hy the operation. Since
that time his course has been onward; stern,-
unwavering, and times morose, he never fails
to meet his engagements, and can command
capita! to the amount of _$1,000.000."

Jenny Lind.
The following recently appeared in the X.
Orleans Picayuoe:
"Tbe success of Madame Sontag, in concert
and opera, has induced Jenny Lind to determine upon again visiting.the United States.—
The uuhappiuess of her domestic relations
may have +rad some influence upon her in coming to this decision; but that she will again
visit our shores, should her life be spared, is a
fact beyond dispute.
The domestic difficulties alluded to, I am reliably informed, exist, and are becoming of the
most serious and unpleasant nature. Shortly
after th» honey moon, some trifling misunderstand occurred between her and her husbñud,
which has been daily increasing, until her sufferings are now too intolerable to be endured.
His petty acts of selfishness, and his determination to rule her as with a rod of iron, have
caused her the greatest unhappiness, and a
separation has, I am distinctly informed, been
agreed upon. The well known generosity of
lenny is one of the main causes of tire difficulty, her husband being op rosed to the giving
away of anything.' Rut then it may be, that
the high temper which Jenny displays at times
has also the effect of rendering her home unhappy. Certain it is, such a state of things
exist, and what I have written above you will
find corroborated to tho very letter "
Oowii among the Pishes.
A successful at temo t to reach the wreck of
the steamer Atlantic, which was Bunk in lake
Erie, has been made by a diver dressed in the
submarine armor. He found the vessel and
went down fourteen feet below the upper deck,
he being one hundred forty four feet below the
surface of the lake; 126 feet is the greatest
depth ever before reached. Tbe armor consists
of a perfectly airtight India rubber dress, with
a copper helmet on the top, from which arc
pipes to furnish air for breathing; with a thick
clear plate of ¡rlass in front. The pumping of
the air through the supply and exhaust pipes
requires the bard labor of four and sometimes
six men. There i.$ a great pressure of air upon
tho lungs. When a depth of ten feet is reached
the dress becomes emptied of air and collapsed
to the body through the pressure ofthe water.
When about 60 feet down   hundreds of fi&ea
nibbled at him     At 75 feet  all   is dark.    At
about 160 feet, the water at this season is with-   -
in four or five degrees of freezing.
My Wife fa the Cause  of It.
It is now more than forty years sin¿c Lyman
called at the house of Dr B. on bis way to H.
Sir. sBid the Doctor, the weather is frosty;
will you not take something to drir.k before
you start? Even in that day ardent spirits
were deemed indispensable to warmth in winter, when commencing a journey, and at every
stopping place along the road, the traveller
used intoxicating drinks to keep him warm.
No. Raid Lyman. I never touch anything of
the kind, and I will tell you the reason : My
wife is the cause of it. I had been in the habit of meeting some of our neighbors every evening for the purpose of playing cards.. We
assembled at each other's houses and liquors
were inti-oiuced. Alter a while we met not so
much for tbe playing as th» drinking, and I
used to return home late in tbe evening more
or less intoxicated. My wife always met me
at the door affectionately, and when I chided
bier for sitting up so late for me, she kindly
replied, I prefer doing so. fo I cannot sleep
when you arc out.
This always troubled me,and I wished in my
heart she would only begin to scold me, for
then 1 could have retorted and relieved my
conscience.. But she always met me with the
same loving and gentle spirit.
Things passed on thus for some time, and
when at last 1 resolved that it would by remaining very late nnd returning much intoxicated, to provoke her displeasure so much as
to lecture mc, when I meant to answer with
severity, and thus by oreat-ing another issue
between us, unburthen iny liosom of its present
trouble.
I returned in-such a plight about 4 o'clock
in the morning. She met ,:¡e at the door with
her usual tenderness., and said. Come in, husband: 1 have just been making a warm fire for
you. because i knew you would be cold. Take
oif your wet boots and warm your feet, and
here is a cup of hot coffee.
Doctor, that was too much, [ could not endure it any longer, and I resolved that moment
that I would never touch another drop as long
' as I lived, and I never will.
He never did, he dived and died practicing
total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks,
in a village where intemperance baa raged as
much as any other in bU State. Tba't was my
father and that woman my mother.
Benton's Interview with the   President,
Rumor gives the following version of tho
unsatisfactory interview which Col.Benton had
with the President. Like most ofthe old lino
democracy,' Col. Benton is very much dissatisfied that-honest Caleb Cashing has been called
into the Cabinet; and being a mor ■ free spoken man than most of his party, he very strongly denounced thy appointment. The tale runa
that he told the ¡'resident that Caleb was "a
hermaphrodite, sir; could perform the function i, sir, of neither man nor woman sir ; was
neither Whig nor Democrat, sir: was, sir,that
stinking and disgusting thing, a Tylerite, sir."
The President, when old Bullion got through
his tirade, remarked that he had been very
much amused at the deep interest manifested
in the -uccess of bis administration by those
especially who were opposed to his nomination
or gave him a lukewarm -upport. Whereupon
the "senator of thirty years" vamosed very
speedily.''
Young .Democracy Rampant. The following
is said to be-tbe speech of one of the "young
democracy" in favor of expanding the area of
freedom:
Mr Speaker, when 1 open my eyes and look
over this vast expanse of country ; when I seo
how tbe years freedom have caused it to rise in
tbe scale of civilization, and expand on either
side; when I see it growing, swelling, roaring,
like a spring freshet, I cannot resist the idea,
Bir, that the day will come when this great
nation, like a young school boy, will burstjts
straps and become entirely too big for its boots.
Sir. we want elbow room—the continent, the
entire continent, and nothing hut the continent;
and we will lufre it. Then shall Uncle Sam,
placing hia hat upon the Ganadas, rest his
right arm upon tbe Oregon coast, his left upon'
the eastern seaboard, whittle away the British
power, while reposing his legs like a freeman,
upon Cape Horn. Sir, the day will come—tha
day must come,
The Cunning   Thrush.
There is much more intellect in birds than
people suppose. An instance occurred at a
slate quarry belonging to a friend, the other
day,   from whom we have the narrative.
A thrush not aware of the expansive properties of gunpowder, thought proper to build her
nest on the ridge of the quarry, in the very
centre of whi;-h they were constantly blasting
the rock. X.t first she was very much discomposed by the fragments flying in all directions,
but still she would notquit her chosen locality.
She.soon observed that a bell rang whenever a
train was about to be fired, and that, at the
notice the workmen retired to safe positions.
In a few days when she heard the bell, she
quitted her exposed situation, and flew down
to where the workmen sheltered themselves—
dropping close to their feet. There she would
remain until the explosion bad taken place,and
then return to her nest. The workmen observed this, narrated it to their employer!, and . v.
was also told to visiters who name to view th&
quarry. The visitors naturally expressed a
wish to witness s > curious a specimen of intellect! but as the rock could not always be blasted when visitors came, the bell was rung instead, and for a few times answered the same
purpose. The thrush flew down close to where
they stood, but she perceived that she was trifled with, and it interfered with the process of
incubation : the consequence was, that afterward, when the bell was rung, she would pe«p
over the ledge to ascertain if the workmen retreated, and if they did not she would remain
where she was.    j_Lon. Lit. Jour,
