DON'T' DRINK TO-NIGHT
! 1 left my motlicr in the door.
! My sister by her side;
i Their clnsjicd hands and loving looks
| Forbade their doubts to hide.
| l left and met with comrades gay,
When the moon brought outlier light,
1 And my loving mother w hispered me,
•• Don’t drink, my boy, to-night."
Long years have rolled away since then ;
My jetty curls are gray;
But, oh ! those words are w ith me yet.
And will not puss away.
I see my mother’s loving face,
With goodni ss, radiant, briglil,
And lieui her words tiug in mine cam,
| " Don’t drink, my boy, to-night.”
; My mother is now resting sweet
j in the grave yard on the hill,
But mother's words come back to me,
And haunt my memory still.
I’ve often, often passed the cup;
Oh! then my heart was right,
Because I heard flic warning words,
‘‘Don’tdrink, my boy, to-night.”
; I’ve now passed down the road of life,
I And soon my race is run,
1. mother's warning listened to,
| An immortal crown is won.
. Oh, mothers, w ith your blessed smile,
Look on your boys so bright,
And say, ns you alone can say.
" My boy, don’t drink to-night.’’
These words will prove a warning when,
In the thorny paths of life.
! The boy is in the tempter’s wiles,
Ad warring in '.be strife,
j These w ords will slop the morning cup, •
i And the revelry at night,
By whispering back a mother's voice,
“ Don't drink, my boy, to-night.”
THE PRESSMAN.
Pull up, my boys, turn quick the miner,
And li t the work begin ;
The world is pressing on without,
And we must pre-tt within—
And we who guide llie public mind,
Have influence far and wide.
And all our deeds are good, though
The < V"i7 is at our side.
Let It;/ the feinted now, my hoys!
Who are more proud than we t
While wait the anxious crowd without,
The inward /s-ir..- to see.
So pull away—none are so great
A- they who run the ear ;
And who have dignity like those
Who practice at the Itir!
And you who twirl the rollers there,
Be quick, thou inky man :
Old time is rotting on himself,
So beat him if you can ;
Be careful of the light and .
Nor let the eh. ■! grow pule,

i Who retail knowledge la rr;
i By feeding them we feol ourselves.
Nor deem our fare too dear.
Pull up, my boys, turn quick the rounee.
And thus the eJuvo we’ll join ;
We have deposits in the tnnk —
Our drawers arc full at quoin :
And who should more gt nteelly eut

Alas! that we w ho pr< ■>» so much,

TIIE FAIREST ALWAYS THE

Thus it is nit over the earth —
That which we call the fairest,
And prize for its surpassing worth,
Is always the rarest.
Iron is heaped in mountain piles,
And gluts the laggard forges;
1 But gold flakes gleam in dim defiles
i And lonely gorges.
The snowy marble flecks llie land
W itli heaped and rounded ledges,
' But diamonds hide beneath the sand
I Their starry edges.
] God gives no value unto men
; Unmatched by need of labor;
And cost of wortli lias ever been
The closest neighbor.
Were ever) bill a precious mine,
And golden all the mountains ;
Were all the rivers fed with wine
By tireless fountains,
I Life would bo ravished of its ze.sj,

MY LOST HOSE.
You Hasp to-day your perfect rose,
Full-blown, a"nire and tender flower,
And justlv, for you wisely chose,
•With faith in love’s transforming power.
And tiiis the bud I threw away!
Because, poor fool, 1 could not sec
That, hidden deep within, there lav
The jicrfcct flower that was to be.
What matter that my heart’s desires
Seemed then tier gentle sphere above ?
No height to which a man aspires
Can prove too high for woman’s love.
! Mv soul has longed and struggled so
I Through nil the years, unloved, alone. .
,O, God! it breaks my heart to know
| Her dear love might have been my own.
Well, ’tis not la-si that I complain,
Nor hers the fault that I was blind ;
* Yet not in ail tiiis world of pain

BEANS.
The following authentic account of
“the drawing of the beans” is from
“Rig-Foot Wallace's” narrative of the
Mier Expedition, now being published
in liurke'o Weekly for Hoyt and Girls,
Macon, Ga. Wc believe it is the only
reliable account on record. Wallace,
one of the Mier prisoners, is now
living near San Antonio,Texas:
Alter our long sojourn at Saltillo,
wc were one morning roused up by
our guards, and told to get ready to
march, ns we were to start that day
to the city of Mexico. A few mo
ments afterwards the guard paraded
in front of our quarters. Wc were
taken out and formed into line, and
inarched oil' on the road lmck towards
Rancho Soludo. where, some weeks
previously, wo had risen upon ami
surprised the guard under the • qpi
inaud of Colonel Barragau. Hand
cuffed and bound ’together in pairs,
to cut olf nil chance of our escaping
or nyiking another attack upon the
guards, we were driven along the . ond
at a gait that would have been “kill
ing, ” even to men that were not fet
tered ns we were.
On the evening of the fourth day, 1
think it was, after leaving Saltillo, we
came in sight, once more, of the lonely
desolate “Rancho Soludo.” The olli
cer now in command of the guard,
Col. Ortcz, had spoken kindly to us
frequently during the day, telling us
to “ lie cheerful and walk up fast, for
that the sooner we arrived at the city
of Mexico, the sooner wc would be
liberated and sent back homo.”
withstanding such assurances, from
the first moment the uien caught sight
of the dismal old ranch, whether it
was the dreariness of the locality, or
the recollections of what had happened
there when we rose on the guard, and
of the sufferings and disasters Hint
followed in the wake of that event, or
whether it was some dim foreboding
of the “ bloody scene ” that was to be
enacted there again so soon, that
weighed upon the minds of the men,
I know not; but not. a word was
uttered by any one, as we trudged
along silent and depressed, until we
toadied the hated spot, and were once
more securely fastened up in the same
corral we had occupied before.
Rut a few moments elapsed when
an officer, accompanied by an inter
preter, entered the coral, and calling
our attention, proceeded to read to us
from a paper lie held in his hand, a
mandate from the “Supreme Govern
ment of Mexico,” ordering the instant
execution of every tenth man. Some
of the more sanguine among us fully
thought that the paper contained an
order for our release, and eagerly
crowded around the interpreter to
hear the joyful news, but when the j
purport of the writing was explained
to us by the interpreter, this barbar- ,
ous decimation of our number came
upon us so unexpectedly that we stood
for a moment stunned and contused
by the suddenness of the shock.—
Then a reaction took plucc, and il our
hands laid only been unshackled, un
armed as we were, the old Rancho
Soludo would have witnessed another
up rising, ten times as bloody as the
first; but when we looked upon our
manacled limbs, and the serried ranks
and glittering bayonets of the large
guard drawn up around us, we saw at
once that any attempt at resistance
would be utter folly, and wo quietly
submitted to our late.
It was determined that the seven
teen men to lie executed should be
selected by lottery, and in a little
while a squad oi’ Mexican otlicers
came into the corral, preceded by a
soldier, bearing an earthen vessel,
which lie placed upon a low stone
wall bounding the farther side of the
corral, and which was intended to
hold a number of while and black
beans, corresponding to the number
of men and officers in our command.
The Mexican officers stationed them
selves near the earthen pot, to over
look and superintend the lottery, and
see that everyone had a fair chance
for his life. One of them proceeded
Vo count out so many white beans,
which he poured into the vessel, and
then dropped in the fatal seventeen
black ones on top of them, covering
the whole with a thick napkin or
cloth. AVe were then formed into
line and drawn up in front of the low
wall on which the pot had
been plaeed.
Before the drawing began, they in
formed us that if any man drew more
than one bean, and either of them
should prove a black one, he should
be regarded a3 having drawn a black
one solely, and be shot accordingly.
Our commissioned officers were or
dered to draw first- Captain Came
ron stepped forward, and without the
slightest visible trepidation put his
hand under the cloth and drew out a
white bean. He bad observed when
the Mexican officer put the beans in
the pot he poured th 6 white in first
and the black ones on top of them,
and then set it down without shaking,
possibly with the intention of forcing
as large a number as possible of the j
black beans upon our commissioned
officers, who were to have the first
drawing. When he returned to his
place in the lino, he whispered to
those nearest him, “ Dip deep, boys,” j
and by following his advice all the j
officers drew white beans except Cap- -
tain Eastland. .
After the officers hud all drawn, ;
the “muster rolls” of the men were 1
produced, and we were ealled forward ;
ns our names appeared upon them.
Some of the Mexican officers present ;
were evidently much affected by the
courage and nonchalance manifested
by the men in this fiery trial; others,
on the contrary, seemed to enjoy the j
whole proceedings hugely, particularly
one little swarthy baboon-visaged
chap that looked as if he had subsis
ted all his life on a short allowance of ,
red pepper and cigaritos. He ap
peared to take an especial delight in j
the hesitation of some of the men
when they put their hands in the ves
sel, for even the bravest felt some re- j
1 net a nee to draw when he knew that
life or certain death depended upon !
the color of the bean he might select. I
Whenever there was the slightest hesi
tation. this officer would say, in np- j
parently the most comtnisseraling |
tone: “Take j’our time, ‘mi nino,’ j
•fmy child); don’t hurry yourself, ‘mi j
muchaco,’ (my boy); lie careful, ‘mi j
pobrecito,’ (poor fellow) ; you know if
you get a black beau you will be taken
out and shot in ten minutes,” —a fact j
w e had already been fully apprised of. !
Yet all the while he was talking in •
this way, in the kindest accents, a
devilish grin on his baboon-face indi- j
eated tl.e great pleasure lie took in ;
the anxiety and distress of these
“ poor fellows.”
I am not of a revengeful disposi
tion, but if that Mexican had ever j
fallen into my power, his chances of
living to a “good old age” would j
have been miserably slim, and I could j
have recognized him among ten thous- ,
and, for his weazen features and his j
diabolical grin were indelibly im- ;
pressed upon my memory. I’ll tell
you how I would have served him. 1 j
would have bought a bushel of black
beans, cooked them about half done j
in a big pot, and made him set down on
it and cat until he bursted. I’d have
given him a dose that would have
stretched his little tawny hide as tight .
as a bass drum. He should have had
his fill of black beans for once, to a
certainty.
Those who drew black beans seemed
to care very little about it. Occasion
ally one would remark, as lie drew
out the fatal color—“ Well, boys, the
jig is up with me;” or, “They have
taken my sign in at last;” or some
thing of a similar character, and then
giro way to tlie next, apparently as
unconcerned as if lie had no interest
whatever in what was going on
around him.
There was but a single exception
to tiiis. One poor fellow, a messmate
of mine, 100, appeared to be com
pletely overcome by bis apprehen
sions of drawing a black bean, lie
stood until his own time to draw
came round, wringing his bauds and
moaning audibly, and continually
telling those near him that he knew
he should draw a Mack bean; that
lie had a presentiment such would be
his fate. When his turn came, lie
hung back, and absolutely refused to
go up at all until a file of Mexican
soldiers forced him forward at the
points of their bayonets. Me hesi
tated so long after he put his hand
into the vessel containing tlie beans
that a Mexican officer near him pricked
him severely with his sword to make
him withdraw it. All this, of course,
was immensely gratifying to the little
baboon-faced official, who “ninood ’
and “ pobrecitoed ” him in his kindest
tones, all the while, though, evidently
snickering and laughing in his sleeve,
at the fear- exhibited by the “pobre
cito.”
At last the poor fellow was forced
to withdraw his hand, and his presen
timent proved too true, for in it he
held the fatal black bean. He turned
deadly pale as liis eyes rested upon
it, but apparently he soon resigned
himself to his inevitable fate, for he
never uttered a word of complaint af
terwards. I pitied him from the
bottom of my heart.
My name beginning with W, was
of course among the last on the roll,
and when it came to my turn to draw,
so many more white beans than black
had been drawn out in proportion,
that there could have been tio great
difference in the number of each. 1
observed twenty-four white beans
drawn out in succession. The chances
of life and death for me were, there
fore, not so very unequal. I will
frankly confess, when I put my hand
into the pot, and this fact recurred
to my mind, a spasm of fear or dread
sent a momentary chill to my heart,
hut I mastered it quickly, and before
e\eu the lynx-eye of the little haboon
faced official detected any sign of
such weakness. At any rate, he be
stowed none of bis endearing epithets
upon me.
All tbe time the drawing had been
going on I stood pretty close to the
scene of operations, and I thought I
could perceive a slight difference in
tin? size of the black and white beans
that the former were a shade larger
thaai the latter. This difference, I
know, may have been purely imagi-
nary, but at any rate, I was eventually
decided by it in iny choice of a bean.
When 1 first put my hand in the
pot I took up several beans at once in
my lingers, and endeavored to dis
tinguish their color by the touch , hut
they all felt precisely' alike. I then
dropped them and picked up two more,
and after fingering them carefully for
an instant, I thought that one ol them
seemed a little larger than the other.
I dropped that one like a hot pota
to, and drew out the one left. It was
a white one, of course, or I should not
now be here to tell my story—but not
a very white one, and when 1 east my
eyes upon it, it looked to me as black
as the “ ace of spades.”
1 felt certain for a moment that my
fate was sealed, but when I handed it
to the Mexican officer who received
them as they were drawn out, I saw
that he pat it on the wall with the
white beans, and not into his w ist
coat pocket, as he had done the black
ones. I knew then that I was safe,
and the revulsion of feeling was so
great and rapid I can compare it to
nothing except the sudden lifting of
an immense weight from off one’s
shoulders. 1 felt as light as a feather,
though I weighed at least one, hun
dred and seventy pounds net, (after
all my hardship and starvation,) ex
clusive of the remnant of clothing I
had on me.
Among the last to draw was an
Irishman, by the name of W ,a
fellow noted for his wit and humor, as
well as for his reckless, dare-devil
character. He put his hand into the
pot, mid feeling around discovered
that there were but few beans left in
it.
“Arrali now, my hinnies 1” he said,
“and is this the way you would try to
desave an innocent man to his de
struction? Faith, and there’s not a
dozen beans left in the pot, and I’ll
not draw them at all.”
lie was peremptorily ordered to
take one out at once.
“ Oh, it’s for niurtherin’ me ye are,
ye bloody spalpeens,” said Pat, “wid
out judge or jury. \ see that as plain
as the nose on my face. Yeos let the
ilher men pick and choose as it suited
’em, out of scores of beans, and now
there isn’t a dozen left in the pot, and
I’ve no choice scarcely at all. Until
take such a lottery, says 1. Rut 1
suppose there’s no help for it, so here
goes.”
And Pat drew forth his bean, and
everybody, even the Mexican officers
themselves, I believe, were rejoiced
when it proved to be a white one.
“ There, you bloody nagurs,” said
Pat, handing the bean to the officer,
“it teas a black one, but I offered up
a short prayer to Saint I’athriek, you
see, and in the twinkling of an eye he
couvartod it into a wlijte one?—
Hooray for Saint Pathrick and Old
Irelaud f< lover.”
When the drawing was completed,
the white and black beans were care
fully counted over again, and the
number found to tally with that of our
men. Those that had drawn black
beans were kept sc; arnte from the
rest of us, and in a few moments after
the drawing was concluded, they
were marched off in two squads, and
shortly afterwards repeated volleys of
musketry were heard, and wc knew
that their cares and troubles were
forever ended in this world.
One of them, however, a man by
the name of Shepperd, as we learned
subsequently, made a most miracu
lous escape for the time being. W hen
they were fired upon by the guard,
Shepperd fell and pretended to be
dead, though, in fact, he was only
slightly wounded. He was left on
the ground with the dead bodies of
his companions, and when night came
ho got up and went olf without being
observed. The next morning, when
the Mexicans examined the bodies
again, they were greatly astonished to
find that one was missing, and could
not be accounted for satisfactorily in
any way. Shepperd wandered around
for several weeks without being re
captured, but at length he was dis
covered, taken back to Saltillo, and
aliot to death in the public square,
quid his body carried out and left
unburied on the commons.

Joining Hie Bason*.
Knobbs has joined the Masons, and
here is his experience In getting into
a Lodge:
I must tell you ol the perils auc
trials I had to undergo to become a
Mason. On the evening in question
I presented myself at the Lodge room
No. sign of the skull and cross
bones. 1 was conducted to an ante
reom, where five or six melancholy
c.iaps, in sashes and embroidered
napkins, waited to receive me. On
my entrance, they all got up and
turned back summersaults and then
resumed their seats. A big fat fellow
in tiie middle who seemed to be the
proprietor, then said : “ Sinner from
the other world, advance!” I ad
vanced. “\\ ill you give up every
thing to join us t” “Not if I know it,’
I said; “ there are my wife and four
teen fine—.” Another party here
told me to -ay yes, as it was only a
matter of form. So I said, “ Yes, 1
give up everything.”
The fellows iu the towels then
groaned and said, “’Tis well. Di
you swear never to reveal anything
you sec here tiiis evening to any hi;
man being or to your wife ?” I said
“ ’l’on my word, I will not.” The.'
then examined iny teeth and felt m;
tongue, and then groaned again. J
said, “ If you don’t feel well, I’ve go’,
a bottle here.” The fat man here
took the bottle from me and told mi
to shut up. He then, in a voice oi
thunder, said; “ Bring forth tin
goat!” Another fellow then come
up with a cloth to blind me. “No
you don’t, Mr. -Mason,” 1 said. “Nr.
tricks on travelers, if you please. 1
don’t believe in playing blind man'
buff with a goat, i’ll ride the devil
if you like, but I don’t go it blind
Stand back, or I’ll knock you into
smithereens!” They were too much
for me, however, so I had to submit L
being blindfolded. The goat was then
led in, and 1 could hear him uiokin;
an awl til racket among the furniture
I began to feel that I was urgently
wanted at home, but I was in for it
and could not help myself.
Three or four fellows then seized
me, and with a demoniacal laugh
pitched me on the animal’s back, tell
mg me to look for squalls. I hav<
been in many scrapes,Mr. Editor; 1
have been iu election fights; 1 have
been pitched out of a l'our-story win
dow; but tiiis little goat excursion
was ahead of them nil. Tkeconfoun
ded thing must be all wing and horns
It bumped me against chairs anri
tables and the ceiling, but 1 held on
like a Trojan. I turned front sum
incrsaults and rolled over. I thought
it was till over with me. I was on
the point of giving up, when the ban
dage fell from iny eyes, and the goat
bounded through the window with i.
