The Lepcros, it will be remembered, \*ere that portion of the mob of Mexico which fired ou our troops, and which has since had a hand in most of the assassinations.— The editor of the Boston Jlcrald, the author of this dcscripilonflms been in Mexico himself. , Nobody can tell the Lepcro’s occupa tion ; God only knows how he lives.—* He has almost as little need of the tai lor as Adam and Eve had .in Eden ; his skin drinks the San at eyerjr ^jkre. An edict requiring the^Lepero'to vvear brecehes would extinguish the rade j, a Lepcro in a whole -pair of breeches would no longer be u -Lepefo; "lor one want creates another. The Lepero is emphatically the child of nature; the shining stm, the murmuring breeze, the iling face of nature are his birth-right, his property. Other meq have houses and land; the yvorld belongs to the Lepero. He has no^naster; he knows no law, he eats when he is hungry, drinks when he is dry, and sleeps when ajjd where he is sleepy. Other men rest from their labours; the Lepero works when he is tired of laziness.— HJs work, however, ftever lasts vtpra than an hour, seldom more than ten or fifteen minutes; just long enough to prqvide for the few and small wants of *the day. He carries a traveller’s trunk to his lodgings, does any thing that comes under his hand, picking pockets included, and holds out his hand for charity. Such is his V«rk; he is a doer of chora;. He eats Any thing and every fleshV fish/ant^e^pecially froii/ r - : The chief visible occupation of the lepero is to amusahimsclf; and the city of Mexico, in time of peace, does not lack cheap amusements.

The *ub«criber Announces to the public that he hasensagril thisr’egai.t and apacion w, and unrivalled it Never Despair. Major Noah, of the New York Sunday Times makes the following remarks : “ Never defcpair,” says the millionaire, buttoning up his coat pockets, and ad dressing a shivering mendicant. “ Nev er despair,” says the prosperous banker through his buttery cheeks to the ruined bankrupt merchant. “ NeverxfiSspair,” , says'the flourishing matTfo b isieVsTfort u- nate neighbor. It is a golden battle-cry in the struggle with life; but while all appreciate, few have the courage to adopt it. “I will not despair,” is a declara tion easier made than verified. Two decayed young men of spirits, who had been chased into a gallop by want, all the way from the Mississippi to the Hudson river arrived in New York one rainy Sunday morning in December. However useful the advice of others may he,’ rejoined Nash-red-clyn, ‘it is ver well to follow that of a woman ; I atn determined to take figs.* When be arrived in the camp, Tamerlane amu sed himself by throwing the figs at his bald head. At every blow Nash-red- dyn exclaimed, ‘God be praised.* Ta merlane inquired what lie meant. ‘I thanking God that I did not follow my wife’s advice,* replied Nash-red-dyn, for if I had brought quinces instead of figs, I should certainly have a broken head.’ Tile F&fcerm&n. I was some time since walking upon ■{he* wharf where a fishing boat lay, and I was passing and re-passing, the rnas- : was uttering the most tremendous oaths. At length I turned to him, and standing beside the boat, -said— i - Sir, I am unacquainted with your bu siness. What kind of fishes pre these?’ He replied—‘They are codfish.’ ‘How long are you usually out in or der to obtain your load?’ ‘Two or three weeks,’ was the answer. •At what price do you sell them?’ He informed me* .: . *** *. : ‘Well, have yon hoi hard work to ob tain a living.in this wtsy?’ >s*Yes, hard work,' said he., s *T inquired, ‘With what do you bait these fish?’ With clams.* Did you ever catch mackerel?’ Yes.’ •And 1 suppose you bait them with clams, too?’ io,* said he, ‘they will not bite at clams.* Then you must have different kinds of bail lor different sorts of fish?’ Yesd 'Well, now, did you ever catch a fish without a bait?* *Yes,’ said he, * [ was out last year.Jand, one day, when I was fixing my line, my hook fell into the water, the fool took hold of it, and I drew him in.* ‘Now, sir,’ said I, ‘I have often thought that Satan was very much like a fisher man. He also baits his hook with that kind of bait which different sort of sin ners like best, hut when lie would catch a profane swearer, he does not take the trouble to bait at all, for the fool will al- latfrvrtrth^ hare hook.’ He was silent. Hiscounlenance was solemn, and after a moment’s pause, as I turned to go away, I heart! him say to one standing by liim, ‘I guess that’s a minister*’ Gbincse GovcrnHieiit.

It was prosperous; the light hearted couple were permitted The Java Tigers. Tigers of various species abound in Java. The most common are the royal tiger and leopard, of which latter auimnl the black tiger is a bastard variety.— Cubs of both kinds are frequently found in the same lair; and when the black tiger is very young leapord-like spots are discernible on its skin. As it grows older they disappear, and the hair be comes of a uniform black. In the in terior of Java much mischief is done by these beasts. In the neighborhood of the large European settlements accidents aro less frequent, the tigers shunning populous districts, and retreating into the forest on the approach of a man.— When one makes its appearance, the au thorities generally order a battue. Ve ry few, however are killed, though a price is set upon their heads, and they continue to destroy about three hundred Javans per annum. This is, in a great measure, the fault of the natives them selves, who, instead of doing their ut most to exterminate the breed, entertain a sort of superstitious respect for their devourers, and carry it so far as to place food in the places they are known lo re sort, thinking thereby to propitiate the foe and keep his claws ofTtheir wives ami children. They, themselves, when com pelled to oppose the tiger, or when (ed against them by their European allies, show vast coolness and courage, the more remarkable,as,jn ordinary circum stances of danger, they are by no means brave people.
