TOD MiL FORGET ME. A few short years will pass, and you’ll forget That I was once a dweller upon earth ; A few short years, perhaps you may regret Her whom you once thought full of truth and worth; ' You may regret the low, yet happy voice, That breathed a fond heart’s welcome when we met; But still a few short years, aod you’ll forget. You will forget me ! other arms will wreathe Around your manly lorm in loving joy; A balmy breath may o’er you softly breathe; A snowy hand amid your dark Jocks toy; The nestling of that soft hhnd within yours, May then, perchance,Ja thought of me beget, You’ll think of long past scenes and happier hourß, And sigh perhaps—but then you will forget. You will forget me 1 you will turn to eyes Swimming in liquid radiance, jetty black, Or brightly blue aB heaven’s own azure skies ; And then your memory will wander back To her you once adored; to those fond eyes, Wherein a depth of untold love was set. A dream of your poor early love wlil rise, A tear may fall—but .then, you will forget. £ But years may pass—long weary years may roll, i Mountains may build up space Uwixt thee and. me; But, oh ! my love will cling around thy soul, Like iviea tendrils round a withered tree. All other feelings maj» givo way with, tears, Leaving us nought but memory and regret; We build to these an altar with our tears, For woman’s holy love can ne'er forget! from the Prorldcace Journt.l Life In Mexico. SPORTING SCENES AND ANECDOTES. By a Member of the Mexican I’gindary Commission' r The Quails. There is a Variety of. this bird, which Tesembles the Northern quail, very common in Lower Texas, and found wherever the prairie lowl is. They seem to enjoy each other’s company, and run together. One day I fired at a couple of prairie fowls standing near each other, where they were partially concealed by the high grass. On going to pick up my birds, I found I had killed.* besides, several quails which were running with them. They belong to the same family of birds, and as their habits are also the same, it is not so singular that they should sometimes run together. The brown speckled quail just'spoken pf, disap pears as you approach the Rio Grande, an other and more beautiful variety makes its appear ance. This quail is of a bluish color, with a red top knot on its head. In plumage, it is a superb little bird ; and, as to eating, it is as delicate as its form and color are beautiful. Its habits are much the same a 9 other birds of the same family. They are always found in flocks of from ten to thirty, and upwards. They run rapidly among the low musquit bushes, and do not fly unless closely pur sued. I have often seen them leeding, among the black birds and crows, directly under my window’, attracted by the' grains of wheat and corn which are dropped from the wagons. Quail shooting is very pleasant sport, as one need not go far from home to find an abundance of them. Babbits—lndian Amusement. —These animals abound in the valley of the Rio Grande, and are much prized as an article of food by all classes.— There is ope peculiar to' the country, known as the “jackass rabbit.” Its color is a light silver Its ears of very great length, and in size it is tw’ice as large as the common rabbit. I first saw these animals on a ridge of mountains, about half way between the Rio Grande and San Antonia. . After wards they were seen in all hilly and mountianous districts. They run with great rapidity with their long ears erect, bounding the musquit bushes, and prickly pears, and can traced lor a long distance. ? I was very much interested when passing thro’ the town of Isletta, eleven miles below El Paso, a few weeks since, in watching an amusement, or rather a field chase of the Pueblo Indians, which inhabit that town. There was a general turn of these people, amounting to about two hundred, embracing men, women and children. They formed a line, or rather the arc of a circle, taking in a large tract of country. Many were mounted on horses or mules. The women and children on foot carried poles and sticks, with which they beat the bushes, driving before them all the rabbits. The men were armed with bows and arrows,-and some few may have had guns. But ammunition is too costly here for Indians to use in killing rabbits. As they approached the river or some point on it, they gradually contracted their circle, thus bring ing the rabbits within a small-compass. Now. began the. hooting and yelling, the women and children contributing'their share. The poor rabbits attempted to escape, and some few were successful, but the greater number, alarmed at their singular predicament, fell an easy prey to the arrow’s or sticks of their pursuers, as they vainly made an effort to escape from the ring, or sought shelter among the bushes. Many women were mounted on mules, with their game suspended at their side. In some instances I noticed four of five rabbits suspended to one mule. The Indians seem to en joy the sport mightily, and were not at all disposed to sell their game. I never saw a more happy and jovial set of creatures than they appeared to be, singing, laughing and hooting, still .intent on their hunt. , Of the Puebla Indians I have much ti> say, but I am now engaged on some inquiries respecting those at Isletta, and at a village near El Paso; and will therefore leave the subject until I obtain ad ditional facts. The Fandango.—' This is not an animal* a bird or fish; neither is it an Indian tribe, but the univer sal amusement of the Mexicans, both of high and , low degree. A fandango is a dance, generally free to all, though sometimes the gentefina , i. e., the up per crust or aristocracy give one, and invite all whom they wish to be present. These, however, are stiff. To see a real. Mexican fhndango, you must go among the people, where every ond goes, and where there is no restraint you will see the aristocracy alike with the mobocracy / and the • plebian. For so fond are the Mexicans of this ' dance, and so firw are the amusements, that all go. without regard to where the fandango may he, dr of what persons it may consist. You may see one of the first ladies of the place* her servant, or per baps a peon, her slave, and a fashionable courtezan, dancing side'by side. No conversation takes place between gentlemen and ladies when dancing; in feet, I believe it is considered impolite. The ladies being uneducated, possess little conversational pow ers, hence it wonld be impolite to lead a lady, into conversation, which she could not maintain. At these fandangoes the ladies are well and gen teelly dressed. Elegant silks, satins and mus- lins are as common.as in the United States. ladies are also very graceful in their manners, and go through a dance as well'as pupils from our flashy ionable dancing schools. I wish I could ’say as much of the gentlemen,or those calling thentselves such. The male portion of these assemblies is as mixed as the female. I have seen present, the officers of the post in their uniforms, the Catholic priest, and the most respectable citizens of the town, and aconsidrable sprinkling of low fellows. You may see long tailed coats and short jackets without tails; and some with no coats at' all,— Frock coats, and blanket coats and flannel wrap pers, are equally conspicuous. There you see also in full dress with his short velvet jacket, and pantaloons open at 'the leg, from the hip.to the ankle, showing an inner pair of white cotton. .The ladies sit mum and wait the good fortunebf an invitation to dance. Introductions are not re* quired. If you see one of the fail sex who strikss your fancy, whether she is-a servant or a lady, you step up to her, : extend your hand and lead her on the floor. When the dance is oyer, you conduct her to her seat again, without saying a word, ti she is pretty, agreeable and a good dancer, you hold on to her for the next dance or waltz. I have, seen an American gentleman get an a | reaab / partner, and retain her for every dance. There i no such good fortune for .the Senontas here as at the North, where they are engaged half a dozen dances ahead. There is another custom which I have not men tioned. You will ask how are these dances sup ported, when they are free! It is this: After you have danced with a lady, it is expected that you ' will take her to the bar of the room adjoining, and treat her to a glass of wine, and some cakes or sugarplums. It would be considered the height of rudeness''not todotfiis, not to the lady alone, but to the host, whose hospitality yOu have been enjoying. Reckoning, therefore, twenty-five or fifty cents spent after each dance, and the expense ot an evening at a fandango is nearly as much as one of your Northern balls. I would not omit to men tion that all smokejat these dances, both ladies and gentlemen. Just imagine a gentleman after a dance, inviting his partner to take a segar and a toddy! ‘ • I have spoken of the presence of the cure or priest at the fandangoes. There seems no harm in this, as his presence tends to keep the party in subjection, and mothers feel more confidence m letting their daughters attend, if he is there, than they otherwise would. ; This gentleman, the cure, Oritz, is the most intelligent and agreeable man in the town of El paso. He is the same that Ken dall speaks so highly of in his “Narrative of the Santa Fe Exf&dition. Although, he was badly treated by Col. Doniphan, who took him prisoner, and sent him to Chihuhua, he is ranch attached to all Americans who conduct themselves properly.— I say properly, because there is but a small portion visiting-El Paso who do. American genllemen are scarce here ; • emigrants to Calfofaihi plenty.— The latter are perfectly lawless, committing dep redations on the inoffensive Mexicans; and other wise maltreating them. Extraordinary Escape. The last Abingdon Virginian contains the fol lowing account ot one/of the most remarkable escapes probably on record. It was almost mi raculous : The children of Mr. George Hickan a citizen ot Scott county, were playing together in a field and near the mouth of a fathomless sink hole. In their gambols one of them, a boy about eight or ten years of age, pushed his little brother, about four years old, headlong over the edge *and down into the deep dark pit below. It was sometime after the child had been missed before any certain infor mation could bje drawn from the others as to what had become of'him: and it was only threats of severe punishment that finally overcame their fear, j and extorted from the boy a conlession of what ' had happened. An effort was made irame- ; diately to ascertain the situation of the little fellow, and afford him relief if he was not beyond its pow er. Ropes were tied together with a stone attached to one end, and an attempt was made to fathom the depth beneath, butmoie than sixty feet of rope were employed in vain, & no bottom could be reach ed. A lighted candle was then put down, but its , light gave-no hopeful indication except that the pit was free from choke damp or impure air as far down as the candle descended. Night came on and all further efforts had to be for the time.abandoned. On the next day further trials were made of the depth of the pit, but with no better success. In despair the frantic parents were about to give up all hopes of recovery or of relieving their little innocent, and preparations were being made to close up the mouth of the, pit to prevent a like occurrence in the future, when it was suggested and agreed-upon thatanother and final effort should be made by letting some individual down by ropes to examine the nature of'the abyss, and ascertain il ther§ was any encouragement for further efforts to be found below. ' A brother of the lost child undertook the 'fearful task. Cords were fastened around his waist and limbs, and one to his wrist by which he might indicate to those above,-his 1 wishes either to decend or to be drawn up. He was swung off and slowly lowered, having gone to the depth of about fifty feet, he -looked below him, and there shone through the thick darkness two glistening eyes intently looking up ward. In another moment he was standing on a shelf or angle in the sha*ft with the child clasped •to his bosom. He fastened the little fellew se curely to his own body, and bidding him to take hold of the rope firmly in his hands, the signal was given to draw up. The child clung convulsively to the rope, and, in a few minutes they arose within view of the hundred anxious spectators who had assembled to witness the result; and when the first glimpse of the little fellow alive caught their eager gaze, screams and shouts of joy from the excited multi tude filled the air,- and big tears of sympathy start ed from the eyes of every beholder. After the first paroxysm of delight had subsided, the child was examined to see if it has sustained any injury, and extraordinary to tell, with the' ex ception of a little bruise on the back of its head, it was perfectly sound and unhnrt. The only com plaint it made was that it was hungry, being nearly twenty-seven ho.urs under the ground. To inquiries made ofit,itreplied that it saw alight,and heard it thunder. From the nature| of the pit, it appeared that the little fellow had fallen a perpen dicular distance of forty feet, upon a slope or bend in the shaft, and from that place had slided down twenty feet further to the spot where he was found, leaning against a sort of pillar or wall, and gazing upward. How'he escaped instant destruction is beyond all account. matrimony made Easy* The editor of the Portland Transcript, who must be a bachelor, from the way he talks, makes the following suggestions relative to the united state of matrimony: Getting Maiuued.—This very interesting event in a woman’s life must be very trying to the nerves of some of our delicate young ladies! No doubt your buxom widow, who has buried her third hus band thinks it a very trifling affair, but she has'lost the<£reshness of her feelings, and is not to be spoken of in the same breath with a blooming maiden.— As the result of much philosophical investigation, (for like Washington Irving, , we. have “speculated much about matrimony,” but iiever experimented,) we incline to the opinion that a person can experi ence the sensation ofgetting married but once! — However this may be, we are glad to be able to state to those who have serious com mittiDg matrimony, that it is in our powey to give them a valuable hint as to the best mode through the ceremony. We have heard of getting married by steam and by telegraph, but we have now to propose a most original, plan, which , may be called marriage made easy. We recently over heard two young ladies talking bn this subject.— One said she was\stire to faint, but the other said when she got married she intended to take chro from! This is decidedly better than the bashful man, who wanted to slip into matrimony by de grees. A white handkerchief applied to the nose, a moment passed in a blissful dream, and -you awake in the promised land! Getting married by chloroform will undoubtedly become very popular with sentimental young ladies. - A Poser.—We were handsomely “tripped up” in a discussion the other day, with a pretty young Miss of our borough, on the proposed change in ladies’ dresses. After putting in our “biggest lick,” as we thought, against the contemplated innovation, the young lady very naivly knocked the noise out of us by saying—“Ah, if you men would only per mit ladies to adopt the Turkish costume , we in turn would allow you to -adopt the Turkish custom of haying as many wives as you please.” We. incon tinently threw up our tap in favor of the short skirts and trowsers .—Carlisle Dem. :sa prom this Sahdwicb Islands.—lt is re fthat the Hawaiian government has decided ly to the government of the United Statjes nexation, and that an officer of our national jment came on in the steamship, entrusted the mission.

The following article on the new costume of the ladies is by the editor or editress of the Lilly, pub lished at Seneca Falls, N. : Y. She is the daughter of Judge Cady of the'Supreme Court, and jhe wife of Senator Stanton, of New York, and, as will be seen, is as independent as a wood-sawyer: Our Costume.— Let the silk worm stay in its co coon, until its own wants. compel it to throw it aside. Let every woman stay in her long petti coats until she feels the-necessity of a change; then no o)p[£)iition OF.triviatobjections will detain her; thenjshe will not doubt or hesitate as to what she shali[do; she will not heed the remarks of rude men and boys, and unmannerly women. Though I 3o not wish to convince any woman against her will of the reasonableness of this change; yeti -would answer some of the objections I have heard. Soiiie say the Turkish is not graceful. ..Grant it.— For parlor dolls, who 101 l on crimson velvet •couches, and study attitudes before tall mirrors— for those who have no part to perform in the great drama of life, for whose heads, hearts and hands there is no work'to do, the drapery is all well; let them hang on, thick and heavy as they please, though to the highest artistic taste, the human form is :raost beautiful, most graceful, wholly undraped and unadorned. Are not the Graces themselves thus represented? I have seen a gallery of beautiful paintings and statuary, in the old world, but nowhere is the ideal form to be found in a huge whalebone boddice and bedraggled skirt. If the graceful is what you aim at, study the old painters and sculptors, 'and not Godey’s Lady's Book oj Fashion. But ior us, common place, every day, working characters who wash and iron, and brew, carry water and fat babies up stairs and down, bring potatoes, apples and pans of milk from the cellar,'run our own errands, through mud or snow; shovel paths, and work in the garden; why “the drapers” is quite too much—one might as well work with a ball and chain. Is being born a wo man so criminal no offence that we must be doom ed to this everlasting bondage ? “But,” say some “it is not the fashion !” Neither is it the fashion to be honest and virtuous, to lead simple, pure, and holy lives. ■' The true and earnest soul odd. Again, “some women of doubtful character are proposing'to wear the short dress.” Well, have they not also worn a long one ? “But men and boys laugh at us.” That is a strong reason in its favor. It is good to be laughed at. The more rid icule you encounter the better. It strengthens and developes the character to stand alone. “What will the people,say ?” has been a powerful weapon in crushing many generous impulses, high resolves, and noble deeds. Women are said to have excess ive love of approbation; therefore must we culti vate a deference to the opinions of others, but be ever alive to their sufferings. Let the weal and woe of humanity be everything to us, but their praise and their blame of no account. E. C. S. A Hero. “ There is an endearing tenderness,” says Wash ington Irving, 4 in the love of a mother for her son, that transcends all other affections of the heart.”— ; We have just heard a touching illustration of the fact, that the love of a son for his mother may also transcend and swallow up all other affections, at a moment, too, when he might well be pardoned for remembering only his great trials. i Some two years ago, a young man belonging to Philadelphia, was returning by railroad to that city, from the town of Reading, Pennsylvania. By an accident which happened to the train, while it was approaching while he was standing upon •the platform, he was thrown off and fell partly under the wheel ot the succeeding car, and bis right arm, “marrow, bones and all,” was crushed to a jelly, dropped uselessly by his side. This, how ever, was fortunately his only injury. He was a young man of determined nerve, and of the noblest spirit. 'He uttered no complaint—not even When the train arrived at the depot, a carriage was immediately called, when attended by a friend, he said to the coachman, “Drive at once to Dr. Mi . . ‘a in Walnut street.” “Hadn’t you better go immediately home r asked his-friend. ‘‘No,” said he, “I don’t want them to know any thing about it until it is all over.” ,“Our hero,” for he was a hero, was deaf to all the counter-remonstrances-of his friend, and they drove rapidly to the house of the eminent physi cian alluded to. They were shown into the parlor, and the > doctor was summoned. After an exami nation. mydear fellow,” Surgeon, for he wfls well acquainted with his patient, “you know I suppose, what must be done?” “I do,” he replied, ‘•and its for the purpose of having it done that T am here.” “My surgical table,” said the Doctor, “is below.” “Can it not be done without that!” asked the sufferer. “I cannot be tied—l cannot be held. Amputate my arm here, Doctor,” he continued, holding out the dangling limbover the back of this sofa. “Do it Acre, Doctor; I shall not flinch ; I shall not interfere with your operations.” The limb was bared; two attendants, medical students in the house, were summoned; the arm was taken off above the elbow, while the patient sakas he had requested, uttering no groan nor speaking a single word, while the opera- being performed. The dressings were applied, and, attended by his friend the patient had reached the door, on his way to own house, which was very near by, when he turned to the surgeon, and said, “Doctor, I should like to look, at ray arm once more; pray let> me see it.” The surgeon raised the mangled limb; the -patient glanced at the bloodless hand and said, “Doctor, there is a ring upon the middle finger of that hand, won’t you take it off for me? My Mother gave me that ring when she was on her death-bed.— I can, part with my arm, but while I live I can’t part that ring.” The ring was slipped from the cold white finger. “Put it on that finger,” said he, holding out the same finger on his left hand.— As he was' leaving the door with his attendant, to enter the carriage, he said, ''How shall I break 1 this thing to my poor sister ?” Is not this a true “hero, 1 ’ reader?— Knickerbocker. Mr. Buchakan. —The malignant onslaughts against this upright man and great statesman, by a few disorganizing democratic papers in the State, have caused his friends to rally , around him in strength and numbers that defy all'opposition-in Pennsylvania. In some instances, resolutions, de signed covertly to injure Mr. Buchanan, have been smuggled through County meetings. The democ racy of Jefferson county were misrepresented by a trick of thi,s character a few months since, and at their late mass meeting rescinded, the anti Buchan an resolution and wheeled into line, in support of the “ favorite son” ol the Keystone State. James Buchanan is stronger today in'Pennsyl vania than he has ever been before. He commands more strength at the South than any northern man living. Not because he has "truckled to the South,” as the abolitionists say of every man who is not .ready to join them in their crusade against the Union, but because he is national in his politics— an American statesman, faithlul to the Constitu tion—with a soul capacious- enough to love his whole country. Such a man must command the respect and esteem of the whole country, North Sohth, East and West; and such a man is James Buchabtaw,— Venango Spectator. James Buchasan. —"We are gratified to see so many of the most influential papers, iri* and out of the State, speak in terms of unqualified praise, of the distinguished and favorite of Pennsylvania.— We are daily, more of of the opinion, that he will our standard bearer in the next Presidential cam paign. * If Pennsylvania is true to herself, her re commendation will now be all powerful. There* is a disposition manifested by our sister States, to give to the Keystone the honor of naming the man, and where could she find one so worthy, so talented, so pure in all the relations of life, as her own Bu chaitah. As foreign Minister, as United States’ Senator, as Secretary of State, he has proved bis entire fitness for the highest statbn in the world; and we doubt not, he will fill the measure of his own and bis country’s glory, by a triumphant elec tion to the Presidency.— Col.

Landing, at Boston be proceeded up “Long wharf,” and recollecting'-that he was a free “country,” where he imagined every one pos sessed the right to amuse himself as he pleased, andjdesirous of introducing himself and his “iiigent” science to the due notice of the yankees, without, ahy, unnecessary and expensive delay, he resolved to exhibit at once a few specimens of his profes sional skill, by knocking down several of the most formidable specimens of humanity he might chance to meet, and which hie’ accordingly did in the most approved and scientific manner. : • ‘ The result of this experiment was, that he soon found himself in a Court of Justice, to answer an indictment for assault and battery. His attorney •advised him, that when called on to “plead” to the indictment, which; in that State is done orally, by the prisoner,, to plead “-nolo contendee .” “What’s the meaning o’that,” said the pugilist. ‘lt means,”'re plied the Attorney, “that you trill not contend against the country. The case being called, the prisoner was ordered to “stand" up,* when -the indictment haying been read, the clerk put the usual interrog atory, “Patrick O’Fallagan, what say you to this indictment, are you guilty ?” Placing himseli in|a pugilistic position, with both fists broughtnpbefore him, in an attitude of defiance, with a look of ter rible omen at the three judges, Patrick “put in” the with a sort of comical emphasis of which some of the elderly members of the Suf folk bar still retain a vivid recollection: ‘Plase your lordships, Til not- contind trid the whole country , but be the howly St. Patrick, I kin lick 'ailher two ov ye ony duy.—Washington (Pa.)
