enough to encourage the enemy to bring
out their largest armies and fight their
hardest battles.
One of the hardest brushes we had,
after 1 got here, was the attack on Chap
ultepec. I had been into the city trying
to bring Santa Anna to terms; but,
when 1 found it was no use, I come out
and told Gineral Scott there was no way
but to fight it out, and, although I was
only the President's private embassador,
I didn't like to stand and look on when
he was so weak-handed, and if he would
tell me where to take hold I would give
him a lift. The Ginerel said he expect
ed there would be a hard pull to take
Chapultepec, and as Gineral Pillow was
placed where he would be likely to have
the heaviest brunt of it, I might be do
ing the country a great service if I
would jine in with Gineral Pillow, as
my experience under Gineral Jackson
and insight into military affairs would
no doubt be very useful to that valiant
officer. So I took hold for that day as
one of Gineral Pillow's aids.
When we come to march up and see
hoar strong the enemy's works was,
says 1, Gineral Pillow it is as much as
all our lives is worth to go right straight
up and storm that place in the face and
eyes of all their aims ; I think we ought
to fortify a little. Suppose we dig a
ditch round here in front of the enemy's
works. At that the Gineral's eyes flash
ed, and he swore right out. Says he,
"No, d—n the ditches, I've no opinion
of 'em ; they are nothing but a bother,
and never ought to be used. The best
way is to go right into the enemy pell
melt." So, on we went, and Pillow fit
like a tiger till he got wounded, and then
the rest of us that wasn't shot down had

POETICAL,
LITTLE cruLDREN,
BY XARIA ROSEAU
Speak gently to the little child,
So guileltss and so fice,
Who with a trustful loving heart,
Puts confidence in thee.
Speak not the cold and careless thoughts
Which time bath taught the well,
Nor breathe ono word whose hitter tone
Disraesx might soem to tell.
If on his brow there rests a cloud,
However light it be,
Speak loving words, and let him feel
He has a friend in thee;
And do not send him from thy side
Till un his face shall reef
The joyous look, the sunny smile
That mark a happy breast.
Oh! te_ach him •rots should be his aim,
To Cheer the aching heart,
To strive where thickest darkness reigns
Some radiance to impart ;
To spread a peaceful quiet calm
Where dwells the noise of strife,
Thus doing good and blessing all
To spend the whole of life.
To love, with pure affection deep,
All creatures great and mall,
And still a stronger love to bear
For Him who made them ell.
Remember, 'tis no common task
That thus to thee is given
To rear a spirit tit to be
The inhabitant of beaten.
