The following stirring lyric was written !y
Charles Fonno llotrman, tho insane l'etinsylva
nin Poet, now nn inmate of the Lunatic Asylum
at Hurriidiurg.
We were not many wo who stood
Beforo the iron hail that day;
Yet many a gallant spirit would
flive half his years, if ho but oould
Havo been with us at Monterey.
Now here, now there, tho shot is hailed
In deadly drifts of fiery spray,
Yet not a single soldier quailed
When woundod comrades round them wailed
Their dying shouts at Monterey.
And on, still on, our columns kopt,
Through walls of flame its withering way,
Where foil tho dead, tho living stopt,
Still charging on tho guns that swept
Tho alippery streets of Monterey.
The foe himself recoiled aghast,
When, Striking whore the strongest lay,
w e swept its flaming batteries past,
And bruving full their uiurdereus blast,
Stoauied home tho toners of Monterey.
Our banners on those turret wave,
Aid there the evening bugles play;
Where oraugo boughs above their grave
Keep green tho memory of the brave
Who fought and fell, at Monterey.
Wo are not many we who pressed
Beside the bravo who fell thut day ;
But who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior re."t,
Than not have been at Monterey.

most important country of South America.
Forming nealy the geographical oemic of

the Atlantic hy the mighty river La Plata,
two navigable branches of which enclose,
south, east, and west, its territory. These
branches, the Paraguii, and Parana, with
their tributaries, extend fat into tho Em

the State of La Plata, making tho State of
Paragua a vast peninsular depot of the

As to the policy of Paraguay in reference
to foreign commerce, internal trade, anil
home industry, it is of tho most illiberal
and pernicious character. Almost all
lands nro owned by tho (iovernment and
the cultivator pays a rent of bix per cent,
on tl-t-ir value. All products of the Boil,
tho forest or riven, are further taxed with
ten per cent, of their value (tithes), '''lie
duty on all exports is tun per cent, in ad
dition to the above, so that a cargo toady
for shipping has paid to the (iovernment
about twenty fix percent, lint that
not all. Ktcu the paltriest transaction
has to be made on stamped paper as
Cuba. The stamped paper costs from
cents to twenty-six dollars sheet. A per
nut to load or discharge a cargo of twenty
one tons, for instance, must be written on
a twenty-six dollar she.et.so that frequent

pays twenty six dollars in this way. Sue;
a policy as this, enforced in a Statewide!

It appears that the elder brother of a

his pretty wife, and mildo her his idol, his
temple of devotion morning and evening.
In an evil hour, a younger brother, Mieha
el Angolo Gitto, looked with loving eyes
upon his sister-in-law, and she was won
from her allegiance to her lord. The guil
ty pair made their escape to this country,
bringing with them a littlo daughter, and
leaving tl.e husband and two little boys in
their deserted Italian home. The broth
er lover and his fair companion came to
this city some months ago, and opened a
confectionary store on Main street.
In time the husband learned their

The first company of "Mormon Elders
that have left Utah since the difficulties
in that Jerntory, have just arrived in the
States. One of tho Elders addresses a lei
tor to a frontier paper, from which we ex
tract tho following items :
"The company with which traveled
consisted of twenty-nine persons, nine ve
hicles, nud twenty four animals. At the
time of our leaving Salt Lake City, on the
15th of September last, all was peace and
quiet hi Utah. The wheat crops had been
harvested, and peaches and other fruit
were in abundafico. The merchant trains
had principally all arrived; goods very
high and money plenty. I was informed
by the mail driver that passed us, that
ex-Chief Justice Eckles had left the scene
of bis great exploits, and was returning to

had wa.cd high on this theme, one of tho
number steped out of the room, and from
a trap which was at hand, let a large rat
into tho his room. None of his friends
appeared to hco it, but the young man who
was 'to be. the victim, seized a chair and
hurled it the rat, completely using up tho
piece of furniture 'in the operation. An

A STRONG CHANGE.
The Elkton (Md ) Democrat states, that
on passing sentence on Leghorn, Lee ani
tho two Johnsons, lroni Jiallitnore, con
victed bt'fore the Cecil County Circuit
Court for the robbery committed by them
on the farm of Gen. Cadwalader, and the
attack 011 Mr. Murphy, his overseer; In
Harford county, .ludgo Price addressed
the prisoners, in substance as follows:
"You have been found guilty, by a jury
of your country, of two high offences
against the laws of" the land, and tho peace
and good order of tho Stnte, viz: burglary
and larceny. You banded yourselves to
geiher for crime: for robbery ami plun
der. You deliberately arranged anil fitted
out, in the city ol Baltimore, an expedi
tion to tho country for that purpose; anil
did at the dead hour of night, attack, rob.
and plunder the retired and peaceful a-
liode ot Mr. Murphy, a worthy and unof
fending citizen of Harford county. For
theso offences it is necessary that you
should bo punched, und uillhu puiii.-hcd,
not only because you deserve it, but also,
as a warning to others.
I recret that 1 feel myself obliged, by
the duty I owe to community, to speak to
you thus, and to impose upon you a sen
tence, which no'doubt you will regard, and
perhaps many others, ns unduly severe,
liut the time ha como nhen, I think,
when fbrbearanc'i to such 4 ; ycu aro ccu-
thoro is a timo to laugh, as well as 11 time
to i lourn. Man only laughs man, the
highest organized being ; and hence the
definition that has been proposed of "man
a laughing animal." Certainly itdefiuis
him as well as a "cooking tiiimal," 11 toil
ntaking animal', a "inotiey iiiakliig ani
mal," 11 "politicM animal," or sikh like.
Laughter vriy often shows the bright Mile
of a man. It brings out his happier mv
ture, anl shows of what sort of'stud'he is
really made. Somehow we feel ius if wo ne
ver thoroughly, know a man until wo hear
him laugh. Ve do not incur! a mere snig
ger; but a gdod roitiid hearty laiigll. The
solemn sober visage, like a Sunday dres'
tells nothing of the real man. Ho may be
very silly, or very profound ; very cross,
or very jolly. Let us hear him laugh, and
wc can decipher hirit lit oJicc, and tell how
his heart beats. We are disposed to sus
pect tho man that never laitghs. At all
events there is a repulslou about him
which wo cannot get over. Lavator says
"shun that man who never laughi, who
dislikes music., or the glad face ofa child."
This is what every liody feels, and noni
more than children', who aro quick at rea-
ling characters; and tlieir strong instinct
rarely deceives them. lUivkmowl.
