EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR
WHOLE NO. 625,
Freaks of a Maezican Bull.
In an interesting letter to the Phila•
delphia North American, dated Puebla,
sth August, we find the following hu
morous account of an impromptu " bull
fight :"
About a week since Generals Scott;
Twiggs and Shields, with an escort of
dragoons, and the 2d and 7th infantry,
made an excursion to the site of the an
cient Aztec city, and I joined it. About
two miles froM Puebla a laughable inci
dent occurred, though it well nigh end•
cd in a tragedy. The infantry were as
cending an easy slope, when two Mexi
cans came along with a powerful bull,
which one of them held by a lalso,over
the horns, while the other urged him'
along with a goad. The animal became
restive ns the soldiers passed, and finally
breaking away from those who held him",
charged the left flank, carrying a soldier
through the ranks on his horns, and"
landing him in the mud on the opposite
side of the road. The two men finally
got hold of the lasso again, when four .
of us civilians came along on horses.—
Then he began to plunge and paw the
ground, and one of the Mexicans who
got in front of the beast to beat him still,
was tossed clear over the bull's back.
The infuriated creature then pitched
into the other, anal throwing him in
about two feet of mud and water, gored
and ditched him for several seconds.—
All the horsemen rode up and succeeded
in driring the animal learn his prey,
when he turned and put after us more
furious than ever. As we had no arms,
and did not choose to hive our horses
ruined, there was some pretty "tall
walking" for a short distance. The an•
imal ran down the column till near the
bend of the 7th regiment, and then
charged again, making a pretty wide
breach in the ranks. After satisfying
himself that the 7th was "no where"
when he was about, he made a rush on
I the 2d. The boys had time to fix their
bayonets, however, and met our friend
so coolly, that after receiving five or six
bayonet wounds, he hauled oft' and gave
lup the battle. Ina few moments I saw
him lassoed by a horseman, and pulled
along towards the city, bleeding pro
fusely and looking quite crest•fallen.—
He had evidently been deceived in his
first charge, and seeing no bayonets,
probably did not reckon on finding any
lon his second splurge. But he can (if
I the butchers have not killed him, which
I strongly suspect) console himself with
the fact that he made more consternation
I among two regiments of U. S. Infantry
than a thousand two legged Mexicans
could have done.
Beautiful Illustration.
The striking illustration of the brevi:
ty of life which we subjoin, is front Bish
op lichees firewell sermon to his par
ishioners in England, before embarking
for India.
"Life bears us on like a stream of n'
mighty river. Our boat first glides gent- -
1y down the narrow channel,' through
the playful murtnurings of the tittle'
brook, and the windings of its &Sit
border. The trees shed their blossoms'
over our young heads; the flowers on the .
brink seem to ofl'cr themselves to our
young hands; we arc happy to hope, and
we grasp eagerly at the beauties around
us—but the stream hurtles us on, and
still our hands are empty.
"Our course in youth and manhood is
along a wider and deeper flood, and amid
objects more striking and magnificent.
We are animated by the moving pic
tures of enjoyment and industry, which
pass before us- , —we are excited by some
short-lived disappointment. But our
energy and our dependence are both in
vain. The stream bears us on, and our
joys and our greifs alike are Jolt behind
us; we may be shipwrecked, but we can
not anchor, our voyage may be hastened
but it cannot be delayed; whether rough
or smooth, the river hastens towards Its
home, till the roaring of the ocean is in'
our eras, the tossing of the waves is be
neath our keel, and the floods are lifted
up around us, and we take our last leave
of earth, and its inhabitants, and of our
future voyag there is no witness but
the Infinite and Eternal !
"And do we still take so much anx
ious thought for the future days, when
the days which have gone by have so
strangely and uniformly deceived usl—
Can we still so set our hearts on the
creatures of God, when we find, by sad
experience, that the Creator only is per
manent? Or shall we not rather lay
aside every weight and every sin, which
does most easily beset us, and ilk of
ourselves henceforth as wafarinc persons
only, who have no abiding inheritance,
but in the hopes of a better world and to
even that world would be worse than
hopeless, if it were not for our Lord Je
sus Christ, and the interest which we
have obtained in Isis mercies.
