.Tis wondrous strange and yet !tis true,
That some folks take delight .
The deeds of othermen to view,
As if their own were right. •
And if a piece of news comes out;
They'll eagerly pursue it ;
Then hand the charming dish . about,
And add a little to it.
Etch fault they'll try to magnify,
Yet seeming to bemoan,
The motes within a brother's eye,
Are blinded to their own.
And if a brother chance to stray
Or fortune on him frown;
Though humble in the dust he lay,
The tuct is, "keep him down."
They'll preach up penance, with a sigh,
To cure, or nothing can—
Suffer ings are good, I'll not deny,
But not when. sent by man.
Each worthy deed is now forgot,
As if not worth retaining;
But 0 ! let failings fill the pot,
And slander suck the draining,.
'Unto te`dregs - shc - draws - irout: -
Delighted with her labors, .
I Then bear the charming swill about
To treat her thirsty neighbors.
, Neath iendship's mask she often lurks,
And smiling fawns around you ;
Concealed she more securely works,
And kisses, but to wound you.
Detested pest of social joy.
Thou spoiler of life's pleasures ;
Like Sampson's foxes would destroy
What's more than all our treasures
SICICCiiOII9.
(From the Metropolis.)
Cherubasco; or, the Day After.
The morning of the 20th of August was
as bright and beautiful as could be imagined.
The warm sun poured its cheering rays up
on tree and flower, and the birds sang as
sweetly as though there had never been
such a thing as a battle. Indeed when
away from the immediate scene of strife and
the suffering objects of its fury, it was hard
to realize that on yesterday had been fought
the greatest and the bloodiest battle of the
campaign. Ten hours prev ious thirty-thou
sand men had - filled the air with the boom
ing, of cannon, the rattle of musketry, and all
the din and confusion of battle. Now all
was calm and still and beautiful. A fresh,'
spring-like breeze stirred the broad leaves
of the corn and frolicked with the blossoms
of the orange trees. Every thing in nature
seemed to rejoice—and well might all na
ture clap her hands in gladness, for it was a
fearful struggle, that battle ! For three hours
the contending armies fought face to face.
For three hours the roar of musketry was
as incessant as the roll of a drum, and only
broken by the loud reports of bursting shells
and heavy artillery. Out of our little army,'
alone, over eleVen hundred had been strick
en down by the iron hail, and the enemy,
with his tremendous odds, found himself for
the time without an army !
It was ten o'clock in the morning, and
yet our surgeons had not finished dressing
the wounds thefirst linte,and in almost ev
ery room of the hospitals one might see a
group of three or four amputating a leg or
an arm, w hile the sfewarts were frequently
passing out at the street-door with inutila
ted Intik that afterwards served as fond for
the buzzards in a neighboring corn-field.
The battle had ended a little after two o'clock
on the 10th, and as late as one o'clock on
the 20th a man whose leg had been torn off
at the knee by a round-shot was brought in.
He had fallen among the thick corn and was
not before discovered, and it is probable that
the nineteen 'missing' reported by our Gen
eral lay in those fields, suffered and died
without help, even within hearing of their
comrades. The man referred to, strange to
say, was better than many who had been
immediately cared for. The heavy rain
that fell the previous night had completely
saturated his clothing and prevented inflam
mation in his wound. Hisstunip was taken
and I saw him a day or two after get
ting along well.
At the Church of Cherubusco the sight
was one to affect the stoutest nerves. Here
most of the wounded were Mexicans, many
of them having been terribly mutilated by
the explosion of an amunition magazine.
The gallant Anderson here breathed his
last, falling, in the very zenith of a bright
and glorious career, in the hour of victory,
with Burke, Capron, Irons, Ensly and the
other noble spirits who on that field met
death in the service of their country. It was
in the Monastery: attached to this church
-that the prisoner's were confined temporarily,
and I took a stroll through it to look for li
ons-and not in vain. Among the first I
met were a number of deserters from the
American army, including the notorious
NEUTRAL. IN POLITICS,
ley. Though dressed in the Mexican 'Uni
form they were easily recognised, and you
may depend upon it, their situation was de
cidedly unpleasant. By their well-directed
.fire many of—their-old- associates - irrarms - , - .
the flower of the first division, had fallen,
and the feeling which the survivors held to
wards them was with difficulty prevented
from showing itself in a different form than
words,,even after they had surrendered.
Some of them affected to take their bad for
tune very easily, returning jests for the cur
ses bestowed upon them by their exaspera
ted victors ; but a large majority wore their
"smile on the other cheek," for the gallows
was their only escape from captivity, and
they knew it. Miserable, forsworn crea
tures ! I have never seen a more ugly lot
of humanity anywhere, No one sympathiz
ed with, nobody pitied them. Even the
Mexican soldiers, who had ever looked up
on them with distrust, seemed indifferent to
their fate, while many of menu did not hes
itate to express their joy that the favored
battalion of St. Patrick was out of their way.
Riley knew this as well as anybody, and it
goaded him to the quick ; but he kept a
bold front and joked with his capturers with
astonishing effrontery, demanding to be re
leased upon parole, ridiculing the guards
placed over him, &c.
_..About_noon ihe_prisoners-werc—marched
out of the church and proceeded under a
guardstron to a public building in the vib
loge - ffCuoyoacan. We then had a good
opportunity to see them all. Several were
officers of high rank, and one old fat fellow,
of very extensive girth, was carried by four
of his men upon a sort of hand-barrow that
resembled the old fashioned machine used
for conveying coffins to the grave, as much
as any thing else. He was smoking a ci
garro very composedly, and paid no atten
tion to the remarks of the others around him.
But as a general thing they looked dogged
and dissappointed which was natural enough
undi r he circumstances.
There were a large number of families
following the prisoners, some evincing the
greatest distress. All the morning they had
been arriving from the city to search for
their relatives and nurse those who were
wounded. One fine looking girl of the low
er order folloWed the line till it arrived al
'Ls destination, showering anathemas upon
our troops, calling them mahlitos Jimerica
nos, and saying that they had murdered her
brothers. Others watched the line as it
passed, and failing to meet the looked for fa
ces, sat down by the roadside and wept bit
terly. I saw one stop and tear ofra part of
her scanty skirt, tie up a sabre-cut in a woun
ded nian's head,,and then run on again af
ter the prisoners. She was a camp-woman
and wore a broad-brimmed hat and soldier
jacket, and carried a canteen and Haversack.
At the little bridge of Padierno (Contreras)
on the day before, two of these camp-girls
were killed by random shots from our lines.
13ut the saddest sight of all was that of a
young and beautiful female, who had been
driven mad by the events of the 20th. In
stature she. was taller than the general
ity of her country-women, ane had a
ry fair complexion. She wad
ssh dressed in
half-mourning, and her apparel, though all
disordered, was such ns to denote that she
was not of common origin or rank. A silk
shawl, pinned to her dress, dragged upon
the ground ; she had no bonnet and but one
shoe, and a costly broach still clung to a
black gold velvet ribbon, around a neck ns
beautiful as Diana's. To add to the gener
al-beautiful negligence, her hair, which was
quite light, almost auburn, was loose and
disordered, and fell in tangled profusion up
on her neck and shoulders, partially hiding
the lovely bosom that her disordered ones
betrayed. 1 have never seen so beautiful
nor so sad a picture.
When the prisoners in:itched out of the
convent, this girl stationed herself by the
side of the road and looked anxiously into
every face as they slowly passed her.
Sometimes she would dart ahead, and catch
ing hold of some officer or soldier, look in
his face intently for several seconds, and
then, with a gesture of dissappointment, re
sume her watch. When the rear of the
line had passed, She would hurry to the front ' .
and go through the same patient task. Yet
she spoke not a word, nor did her limtures
change from the Orst to last.
Being called to the front, I lost sight of the
girl until after the prisoners were marched
into their. new quarters. At the gate she
took her station . as before, and scrutinised .
every face ; nor did she move, though hor
ses were trampling around her, until all had
passed in. When the solid, heavy gate
was closed, she turned sadly away, walked
to the centre of the plaza and gazed upon the
sun. The day, was very warm and there
was not a cloud in the heavens, yet there
she stood, gazing at the bright, burning sun,
without moving a muscle or stirring a foot.
There were hundreds around her but she
heeded nothing, saw no one—nothing but
the sun. I had seen something of the hor
rors of war before, but this was too much
for the most indifferent. I have seen the
dead, the dying, the mutilated of all ranks;
had helped to heap the earth upon the little
homes of bosom friends, but there was some
thing so exquisitely miserable in the [wear-
ance,of that poor stricken girl that it made'
my heart sicken of war and "elephants."
Our company remained in the plaza, more
than an hour, and all that time the !mini,
gir e tooc in the centre, watching the sun.
What could she have been thinking of? .or
did she think at all? An• interpreter spoke .
to her and urged her to take shelter under
the shade of a tree, and a soldier offered'
her coffee. She stared vacantly at them a•
second or two, and then, without uttering a
word, turned her eyes to the sun, where she:
kept them till we loft.
I might go on enumerating such incidents'
for an hour, but these will suffice to shoed
the young uninitiated something of what a'
field of battle is a day after.
Triumph of Learning.
Mind constitutes the majesty of man•--
virtue his true nobility. The tide of im
provement, which is now flowing through
the land like another Niagara, is destined to
roll on €lownward to the latest posterity ; and:
it will bear them on its bosom, our' virtues,
our vices, our glory or our shame, or what
ever else we may transmit as as inheritance. •
lf, then, in a great measure, depends upon
the present, whether - the moth of immorali-•
ty, of ignorance, and the vampire of lusuty, ,
shall prove the overthrow of the_Repuldic4—
or Whetherlnowledge and virtue, like pil
lars, shall support her against the whirl
winds of wars, ambition, corruption, and the
remorseless tooth of time.
The cynic may smile at the idea, but
there is, perhaps, many a germ of genius
now in America, destined to rise to the pin
nacle of human glory. Go search the re
cords of renown. It is not to colleges alone
we are to look for great and good men. The
Saviour of mankind chose his companions
from the fishing-boat : and many of the
most illustrious characters that ever illurni-•
rutted the world. rose by the aid of some
humble means. Dr. Hershell, who, with'
the eye of a philosopher, searchecl out and'
added another world to the solar system,
was a fifer boy in the army , Ferguson, the
very sun of science, was a poor weaver, and,
learned to read by hearing his father teach
an elder brother. Search the records of our
revolution. and the name of Sherman, of.
Franklin, and many others, may be abduc
ed as evidences of the truth of this position.
—Active education is ever on 'the increase;
like money, its interest becomes compound'
—doubles, and in the course of years forms
a vast national treasury. Give your chil
dren fortune, without education, and at least
one-half the number will go down to 'the
tomb of oblivion, perhaps to ruin. Give
them education, and they will accumulate
fortunes ; they will be a fortune in themselves
and to their country. It is to inheritance
worth more than gold, for it buys true honer
—they can never spend nor lose it; and
through life it proves a friend—in death, a'
consolation. Give your children education,
and no tyrant will trample upon your liber
ties. Give your children education, and
the silver-shad horse of the despot will nev- .
cr trample in ruins the fabric of yourfreedom.
