“Stay, soldier, stay—one kind reply!
One answer to my soul's dep|ti’
When will the death dp'll cease to liy,
The hall to hurtle through the air!
See yonder how the rockets ulenin !
The toppling steeples fall aroun
And pouring tleek us sulphury stream,
The bursting howitz ploughs the ground.’’
“Hush. Indy, hush—thy 1 ‘rrors hide,
A nohle foe is in the field,
Art thou a gallant soldier’s bride,
And yet wouldst hid no- leader yield I
We go to since the iron hail,
Momles is our battle cry ;
One cause is our®—no heart must quail—
’Morales—death or victoiy.’’
“My lord c unman Is on yon ler height,
. A chief whose hand will do its hest;
Go tell him ‘mid the strife to-night,
His babe lies wounded on my breast;
Behold! it is a gentle child.
And with its locks he loved to play,
Last eve within his arms it smiled—
He kissed it as he rode array /**
“But now. alas, it smites no more,
Its cheek is pale, and wild its brain—
Its virgin robe is dark with gore—
Soldiers! will none such flood restrain?
They hear me not—man scorns to hear
Or woman’s wail—or infant’s cry—
And hark! again that dreadful cheer—
Morales! death or victory
She sunk before the image dim
Ofherto earth a (Jo I who gave ;
“Mother. I plead through thee to Him!

Straight rings a trumpet on the blast,
The pn ‘ ley sounds upon the air.
Up nine the white flag to the nest;
Indulgent Heaven has heard that prayer.

The Men and Women of C'a.il'oruia.
Os the women, with their witchery of man
ner, it is not easy, or rather it is not possible,
lor a stranger to speak with impartiality, inas
much as our self-love is naturally enlisted in
favor of those who. in every look, tone and
gesture, have apparently no other end in view
than the pleasure of pleasing us. With re
gard, however, to their physical charms, as
distinguished from the adventitious accom
plishments of education, it is difficult even for
a willing pen to exaggerate. Indepedently
offeeling or motion, their sparkling eyes and
glossy hair are in themselves sufficient to neg
ative the idea of tameness and insipidity ; while
their sylph-like forms evolve fresh graces at
every step, and their eloquent features eclipse j
their own inherent comeliness by the higher !
beauty of expression. Though doubtless ful- j
ly conscious of their attractions, yet the wo
men of California, to their credit be it spoken
do not -before their mirrors count the time.” |
, being on the contrary, by far the more indua-1
trious half of the population. In California J
such a thing as a white servant is absolutely
j unknown inasmuch as neither man nor wo-;
man will barter freedom in a country where I
provisions are actually a drug and clothes al- j
most a superfluity; and accordingly in the ab
sence of intelligent assistance, the first ladies i
of the province more particularly when treat-1
■ ed. as they too seldom are by native husbands l
i with kindnessand consideration, discharge all ■
j the lighter duties of their households with j
cheerfulness and pride. Nor does their plain I
and simple dress savor much of the labor of
the toilet. They wear a gown sufficiently -
short to display their neatly’ turned foot anil i
ankle in their white (torkings and black shoes j
while perversely enough they bandage their
heads in a handkerchief so as to conceal their j
hair except a single loop on either cheek; !
round their shoulders moreover they twist or!
swathe a shawl throwing over all, when they ■
walk or go to mass the • beautiful and myste
rious mantilla.”
The men are generally tall and handsome,
while t[ieir dress is far more showy and elabo- |
rate than that of the women. Hound a hrond
brimmed hat is tied a parti-colored cord or,
handkerchief; a shirt which is usually of the ,
finest linen displays on the breast a profusion
of lace and embroidery; and over the shirt is |
thrown a cotton or silk jacket of the gayest
hues with frogs on the back and a regiment
of hutlons on the breast and culls. To come
next to the nether man—the pantaloons are !
split on the outer side from the hip to the foot
with a row of buttons on either edge of the 1
openi ig which is laced together nearly down j
to the knee; round the waist is a silken belt i
which to say nothing of its value as an orna- j
meat serves the utilitarian purpose of bracing
up the inexpressibles; and underneath through
the gaps aforesaid, there peer out n pair of
full linen drawers and a boot of untanned i
deer-skin the boot un the right leg invaria
bly forming the scabbard lor that constant
| companion, the knife. But our dashing friend -

HUMAN SACRIFICES. AND CANNIBALISM.
Human sacrifice, were adopted by the Az
tecs early in the 14th century, about 200 years
before the Conquest. Rare at first, they be
came more frequent with the wider extent of
their empire; till at length almost every lesti
v.il was closed with this cruel abomination.
T'lit-m: religions rercmouii s were generally ar
ranged in such a manner as to allbrd a type of
the most prominent cireuinstances in the char
acter or history of the Deity who was the ob
ject of them. A slight example will suffice.
One of the most important festivals was that
in honor, of the god Tozcatlipoca whose rank
was inferior to that of the Supreme Being.
He was called “the soul of the world.” and
supposed to have been its creator. He was
depicted as a handsome man. endowed with
perpetual youth. A year before the intended
sacrifice a captive distinguished for his per
sonal beauty, and without a blemish on his
body was selected to represent this deity.
Certain tutors took charge ofhim and i.nsruct
ed him liow to perform liis new part with be
coming grace and dignity. He was arrayed
in a splendid dress, regaled with incense and
with a profusion of sweet-scented flowers of
| which tfie ancient Mexicans were ns food as
the.ic descendants of the | resent day. When
he went abroad, he wis attended by a train of
i the royal pages and as he halted in’ the streets
1 to plav some favorite melody, the crowd pros
trated themselves before him and did him
homage as the representative of their good
deity. In this way he led an easy luxuriant
life till within a month of his sacrifice. Four
beautiful girls bearing the names of the four
pri icipal goddesses were then selected to
share the honors of his bed ; and with them he
continued to live in idle dalliance, feasted nt
the banquets of the principal nobles, who
paid him all the honors of a deity.
At length the filial day of sacrifice arrived.
The term of his short-lived glories was at an
end. He was stripped of liis gaudy apparel,
and hid adieu to the fair partners oi his revel
ries. One of the royal barges transported him
across tlie lake to a temple which rose on its
margin about a league trom the city. Hith
er the inhabitants of the rapitol flocked to wit
ness the consummation of the ceremony. As
the sad procession wound up the sides of the
pyramid the unhappy victim threw away liis
j gay chaplets of flowers, anil broke in pieces
the musical instruments with which he had
solaced the hours of captivity.
On the summit he was received by six
priests whose long and matted locks flowed
disorderly over their sable robes, covered with
hieroglyphic- crolls of mystic import. They
led him to the sacrificial stone, a huge block
of jasper, with its upper surlivce somewhat
convex. On this the prisoner was stretched.
Five priests secured his head and his limbs,
while the sixth, clad in a scarlet mantle, em
blematical of liis bloody office, dexterously o
pened the breast of the wretched victim with
a sharp razor of itztli. a volcanic substance,
hard as flint and inserting his hand into the
wound, tore out the palpitating heart! The
minister of death first holding this toward the
sun. an object of worship-tcoughout Annhu
ttc. cast it at the feet of the deity, to whom
the temple was devoted, while the multitudes
below prostrated themselves in humble adora
tion. The tragic story of this prisoner was
expounded by the priests as the type of hu
man destiny, brilliant in its commencement,
too often closing in sorrow and disaster.
Such was the form of human sacrifices usu
ally practised by the Aztecs. It was the
same that often met the indignant eyes of the
Europeans in their progress through the coun
try, and from the dreadful doom from which
they themselves were not exempted. There
were indeed some occasions when prelimina
ry tortures, of the most exquisite kind—with
which it is unnecessary to shock the reader—
were inflicted, hut they always terminated
with the bloody ceremony before described.
It should be rein irked, however, that such
tortures were not the spontaneous suggestions
of cruelty, ns with the North American Indi
ans; but were all rigorously prescribed in the
Aztec ritual, and doubtless were often inflict
ed with the same compunctious visitings which
n devout familiar of the Holy Office might at
times experience in executing its stern decrees.
Women, as well us men. were some tim< s re
served for sacrifice. On some occasions par
ticularly in the Hensons of drought, nt (I e fes
tival of the insatiable Tlailoe the god of min,
children, for the most part infants, were otf r
ed up. As they were home along in open lit
ters dressed in their festal robes, and decked
with the fresh blossoms of spring, they moved
the hardest heart to pity, though their cries
were drowned in the wild chant ofthe priests,
who read in their tears a favorable augury for
their petition. These innocent victims were
generally bought by the priests, of parents
who were poor but who stifled the voice of
nature, probably less nt the suggestions of
poverty than of a wretched superstition.
The most loathsome part of tile story —the
manner in which the body of the sacrificed
captive was disposed of—remains yet to be
told. It was delivered to the warrior who had
taken him in battle, and by him, alter being
dressed, was served up in an entertainment to
his friends! This was not the coarse repast
offainislieJciUinibals, but a banquet teeming
with the delicious beverages and delicate vi
ands, prepared with art and attended by both
sexes, who. as we shall see hereafter, con
ducted themselves with all the decorum of
civilized life. Surely, never were refinement
and the extreme of barbarism brought so close
ly in contact with each other.
Human sacrifices have been practised by
many nations, not excepting the most polish
ed nations of antiquity, but never by any on
a scale to he compared with those of Anabo
lic. The amount of victims immolated on its
accursed ultars would stagger the faith of the
most scrupulous believer. Scarcely any au
thor pretends to estimate the yearly sacrifices
throughout the empire Ht less than twenty
thousand, and some carry the number as high
us fifty thousand.
On great occasions, ns the coronation of a
king or the consecration of a temple, the num
ber becomes still inorr appalling. At the ded
ication of the great temple of Huitsilopotehli,
in 11 Hi, the prisoners, who for some years
hud been reserved lor the purpose, were drawn
from all quarters of the capital. They were
ranged in .files, forming a procession nearly
two miles long. The ceremony consumed sev
eral days, and seventy thousand captives nre
said to have perished at the shrine of this ter
rible deity! But who can believe that so nu
merous u body would have suffered themselves
to be led unresistingly like slice|to the slaugh
ter? Or how could their remains, too great
tor consumption in the ordinary whv, be dis
posed of, without breeding a pestilence in the
Capitol? Yet the event was of recent date,
and is unequivocally attested by the best in
formed historians. One fact may he consider
ed certain; it was customary to preserve the
skulls of the sacrificed in buildings appropria
ted to the purpose. The companions of Cortes
counted one hundred and sixty-eight thousand
in one of the edifices. Without attempting a
precise calculation, therefore, it is safe to con
clude that thousands were yearly offered up,
in the different cities es Anahuac on the bloody
altars of Mexican divinities.— Prescott's ‘ Con

The Spider and the Fly.
Slick, in his Fables, says few things resem
ble each other more in natur’ than an old cun
nin’ lawyer and a spider.
He weaves his web in a corner, with no
light behind to show the thread of his net. but
in a shade like, and there he waits in his office
to receive his visitors. A buzzin’ thoughtless
fly. thinkin’ of nothin’ but his beautiful wings
and well-made legs, and rather near-sighted
withal comes stumblin’ heud over heels into
the net.
“ I beg your pardon ” says the fly. “ I real
ly didn’t see this net work of yours; the weath
er is foggy and the streets so confounded dark
they ought to bum gas here all day. I’m a
fraid I’ve done mischief.”
“ Not at all ” says the spider, bowing.
“I guess it’s alt my fault: I reckon I had
ought to have hung a lampout; but pray don’t
move, or you may do damage. Allow me to
assist you.’’ And then he ties up one leg and
then the other, and furls up both his wings
and has him fast as Gibmhvr.
■ Now.” says the spider, -my good friend,
(a phrase a feller alwavs uses when he’s agtf
in’ to be tricky ) I’m afrecd you’ve hurt your
self a considerable sum; I must bleed you.”
Bleed me!” says the fly. excuse me; I’m
obliged to you; I dont require it.
‘ Oh yes you do my dear friend,” and he
gets ready for the operation.
• If you dare do that says the fly. •’ I’ll knock
you down, you scoundrel; and I’m a man that
what 1 lay dawn I stand on.”
You had better get up first, my good
friend,” says the spider laugin’; “ you must be
hied—you must pay all damage ; and bleeds
him and bleeds him till he gasps for breath,
and feels faintin’ cornin’ on.
“ Let me go my good feFler.” says poor fly,
“and I will pay you liberally.”
“ Pay!” says the spider. “ You miserable
unr.ircumcised wretch; you have nothing left
to pay with; take that!” and he gives him
the last dig, and lie is a gone coon—bled to
death.
Youth nud Old Aire.
How henutiful and how touching the con
trast! The shattered oak and the twining
vine are the apt emblems. The one indicative
of youth, freshness, and beauty—the other of
age. decay, and the perils of existence. The
rosy girl and the decripid grandmother—the
one joyous as a bird, and bounding away like
a winged creature —the other with a thin fal
tering voice, and steps that totter onward to
the grave.
We have the two groat points of existence
belore us—the beginning and the end—the
morning and the evening—the “rosy dawn.”
and the “dusky twilight.” How sunny are
the visions of childhood ! how buoyant its ex
pectations ! How green and glorious the fan
cied paths beyond! Like fairy landscape,
whose choicest charms live only to the eye of
a distant observer; so with the radiant pict
ures which youth sketekes upon the imagined
pages of coming time. How few will bear the
test of reality—the closer, keener glance of
I steady observation! It is well that youth
looks through an enchanted glass—that it sees
i iq the distance the green hill tops and bright
flowers, and not the pitfalls and thorny paths
that chequer the ways of existence.
And old age, must it look back for hope
and joy? Oh. no! Even to the dullest, the
dimest vision, there is to the Christian spirit
a golden clime beyond; anew existence and
new joys—and where the ashes and the fee
bleness of age shnll give place to immortality,
and all its holy and heavenly attributes.
The Flowers and the Collin.
Last week I was at a funeral. Two rooms
were filled with friends, who had come to at
tend the burial of a little girl. Her body lav
in a coffin, on a marble table, in the middle of
tlit* parlor. Her sweet lips were closed, and
her pale hands, folded over her bosom, were
as eold ns the marble.
By the side of the coffin was a silver cup,
such as children use. and in it was a bunch of
fresh Hewers. I dare say it was Emily’s cup.
Whenever her father and mother look at it,
they will always think of their child, who used
to drink out of it.
It made me sorrowful to see those sweet flow
ers by the side of a corpse. They were beau
tiful but they were sad. Emily was like tliese
flowers. She grew up, and was as promising
and ns lovely as they. Now she is cut down
and withered.
In a few hours the flowers will be dead also.
But here is the difference. The flowers will
never bloom again. They are gone forever.
That little body will live again. Christ takes
care of it in the grave. I saw it put in the
deep dark, cold vi.alt. Christ was buried in
the same way in the sepulchre. But he rose
again, and that is a sign that Emily will rise
again, too. As surely as Jesus rose, so surely
will he raise this dear little one.
When these flowers die all is over with
them. All their gay colors, all their sweet
perfumes are lost. But all is not over with
Emily. Her soul is not lost. It is with Christ.
It is lietter to be with him, than with ns. The
soul shall be joined to the body nt the resur
rection. Then soul and body will be happy
together to all eternity. This is what I
thought on looking at the silver cup and flow
ers. beside the coffin. — Youth's Penny Gazette.
Revolctionary Anecdote. —Mr. 8., a
merchant of Providence, R. I„ and a man
quite celebrated afterwards lor his liberality
and public spirit, was the owner of a most
fortunate privateer which sailed out of the
port of Providence. On one occasion, when
she had just shipped a cargo of sugar, taken
from a very rich prize, in rolling it into the
yard, one ofthe hogsheads stove and a quan
tity of sugar fell out. A poor woman in the
neighborhood seeing the disaster, ran and fill
ed her apron. Mr. B. from the loft of his store
called out—
"W'liat arc you doing there?”
“Privateering, sir!” answered the poor wo
man looking up.
The retort was so forcible, that the mer
chant immediately made her a present ofthe
entire hogshead.
