Love si Seasons and Reasons.
BY DR. MACKAY.
I love my love in the Spring time,
For beauty fresh as May,
For cheeks like early roses,
For eyes as bright as day;
For breath like balm of iilies,
For smiles like sun-rise clear;
I love my love in Spring time,
And 1 love her all the year.
I love my love in ihe Summer,
For promise warm and true,
For truth like noon-day throwing
A light on old and new;
For wealth of bloom and freshness,
Which glows when I am near:
I love my love in the Summer,
And I love her all the year.
I love my love in the Autumn,
For fruit of geutle deeds,
For wisdom to be garnered
To serve our future needs;
For virtues ripening ever,
Like harvests full in car,
I love my love in Autumn,
And I love her all the year.
I love my love in the Winter,
For charities untold,
For warmth of household welcome.
For looks that thaw tbe cold ;
For harmless mirth and pastime,
And richest Christmas cheer;
I love my love iif tlie W inter,
And I love her all the year.
The Proud Lover.
BY RICHARD H. STODDARD.
I never yet could understand
How men could love in vain:
I hold it weak and wrong to love,
And not beloved again.
For me, I mast have heart for heart,
Deny me that, and we must part.
There be who love, or think they love,
Without return for years,
They waste their days in fruitless sighs,
Their nights in hopeless tears.
Not such am I; my heart is tree,
1 love not her who loves not me !

Her Ways.
BY CHARLES MACKAY.
■When there is something to be said,
In pleasure, or in pain,
To brighten joy, like sunlight shed,
Or dry affliction's rain:
When she’d console, rebuke, control,
With 'yes,’ or ‘no,’ as clean
She’s such a way of saying it,
’Tis pleasantness to hear.
And when there’s something to bo done,
At need’s or duty’s call,
A courtesy, a charity.
A kindness, great or small;
Or daily grief, that seeks relief—
Whate’er the action be—
She’s such a way of doing it,
She wins all hearts to see.
But saying, doing, night or day,
’Tis difficult to tell
The sweetest grace, of mind or face,
That marks her to excel.
She seldom breathes the love I crave,
But robed in light divine,
She’s such a way of looking it
As'proves her to be mine.

Detailed Account of Walker's Surrender—In
teresting Narrative
U. S. Steam Frigate Wabash,
Off San Juan Del Norte
Friday Dec. 10
You heard, by tlie Star of the West, of
the landing of General Walker and his
men on the Point Arenas, directly under
the guns of the Saratoga.
I have noxv to announce to you his
capture. Upon landing he took posses
sion of Scott’s buildings, and also of «
schooner lying at the wharf. Captain
Chatard, of the Saratoga, informed him
that ho must give up the schooner and
evacuate the buildings, which he did, mov
ing further up the Point, where he hired
a few small buildings, huts, I may call
them, and hoisted his flag there.
He assumed that Point Arenas was the
head quarters of the Army of Nicaragua,
and upon one occasion when Lieut. Cilley,
ofthe Saratoga, in company with two other
officers, landed on the Point, he was ordered
to leave it. Cilley told him that he did
not recognize his authority, but that if he
repeated the order, having the power to
enforce it, he would leave. He states that
Walker threatened to shoot him if he
came there again.
On the 3th instant forty-five of his men,
under Col. Anderson, went up the river
and captured two steamers, and the Fort
of Castillo.
Thus far all had gone well. H* had
command of the river, and only waited for
his reinforcements to go up into the interior
and carry all before him.
On Sunday, the 6th inst., flag officer
Hiram Paulding arrived in this ship.
The English ship of the line Brunswick,
and steamfrigate Leopard arrived on the
same day, and on the evening of the 7th,
the United States steamer Fulton,
Lieutenant Commanding J. J. Almy.
We were obliged to anchor outside, there
not being water enough for a ship of our
draft to go in.
Commodore Patluing determined to ef
fect a lauding on the 8th.
Early on the morning of the 8th we
hoisted out the launches and first cutter,
and got the howitzers into them. At 8i
o’clock, commenced to send the marines
and borders to the Fulton. The sea was
so heavy that they had to get out of the
after gun-deck ports one at a time, and
have their arms handed down to them.
Upon geiting alongside of the Fulton, it
was very difficult to get so many men,
encumbered with their arms, on board
without accident. Some few got over
board, but were rescued. To give you some
idea of what the sea was, I would state
that while I was in a boat, quite close to
the ship, it would sink into the trough,
and an intervening sea would hide the
ship so that I could not see her top gallant-
mast heads. The launches and first cutter
pulled into the harbor. After the men
had all been transferred to the Fulton,
Commodore Paulding went on board of
her and hoisted his Hag. Captain Engle
went in, in his gig, before all the men had
left, the ship. He went on board the
Saratoga, warped her ahead, and sprung
her broadside to bear on the head-quarters
and magazine of General Walker.
At 2 P. M. the Fulton ran alongside of
Scott’s wharf, where the men were landed,
and formed. Capt. Engle now took com
mand of all the active forces ashore and
afloat, amounting to about 401) men.
He directed Lieutenant Sinclair, in com
mand of the launches, to anchor within
fire, second range, of Walker’s camp, but
out of the Saratoga’s line of fire. He
then took his aid (Mr. Shuff) and pulled up
to the head-quarters of Gen. Walker, hav
ing directed the Commander of the
Saratoga, that when he returned from his
interview, if he wished him to fire he
would wave his flag. The same order was
given to Lieut. Sinclair. The Saratoga
to fire shot and shell, and the launches
grape and shrapnell. The seamen and
marines were not to advance till he re
turned.
He had a short interview with Gen.
Walker, who met him at the landing and
invited him to his quarters. Capt. E.
then gave him a communication from Flag
Officer Paulding. As soon as he read it
he said: “I surrender, and am under your
orders.” Then, sir,” said Captain Engle,
“haul down your flag.”
He immediately ordered it down.
Captain Engle then said, “General, I
am very sorry to see you here. I would
like to see an officer of your ability in com
maud of regular troops.” They then
spoke of the disposition of the arms, &c.,
The Captain in describing this interview,
says the behavior of General Walker was
that of a well-bred gentlemen—his voice
jssoft, his manner easy, but firm. He
speaks slowly, but the flash of his eye tells
you that what he says he means. The
Captain with his Aid, then left. At this
time one of the steamers they had captured
came down the river and anchored in the
stream, under the direction of Lieut
Sinclair.
At 4. P. M. General Walker, under the
order of Commodore Paulding, came on
beard tbe Fulton, and a short time after
wards, Captain Engle, his Aid, and General
Walker, were pulled off in the gig to the
Wabash. The sea was running so high
that they were hoisted up in their boat
The rest of us, with Walker’s men, soon
followed in the Fulton, and about an hour
after dark we were all on board of our own
ship.
The Fulton, hearing the pennant of flag-
officer Paulding, during the preparations
for the attack, was alongside of Scott’s
wharf. Our men presented a handsome
and formidable appearance, and the rapidi
ty and precision with which they perform
ed their evolutions were a high compli
ment to their officers.
You will see by the above description
that Walker had no chance of a successful
resistance, and, happily, the day ended
without our being obliged to spill the blood
of our countrymen.
Aspinwall, Tuesday, Dec. 15, 1S58.
Ou the 12th inst., all the prisoners, ex
cept General Walker and his Secretary,
were sent on board the Saratoga, which
vessel immcdiatly got under way for Nor
folk. They numbered ono hundred and
forty-one officers and men.
The men who captured the Fort of
Castillo were landed at the mouth of the
Eio Colorado.
We sailed on the evening of the 12th.
and had a fine run of 28 hours to this
port.
We left the Fulton at San Juan.
We captured a large quantity of arms
and ammunition, and about two months pro
visions for two hundred men.
The steamer Fashion sailed yesterday
afternoon for New Orleans.
The officers of Walker’s expedition
seemed to be much cast down to find their
plans all defeated in the full tide of suc
cess. hut many ofthe privates seemed to be
perfectly satisfied.
Colonel Kinney is at present at Panama.
General Walker will go to New York in
the Northern Light.
Captain Ommenoy, of H. B. M. ship
Brunswick, wished to take part in the
capture of Walker and his men, but they
were Americans, and Commodore Pauld
ing reserved the right of punishment to
himself.
Walker asserted, on board this ship, that
if the English had landed the same force
that we did he would Lave fonght them,
doing all the damage he could and then
taking to the bush, or, to use his own ex
pression, “If you had landed with red
coats, on, I would have done you a great
deal of damage- I would have fought to
the last man.”
fcv This would intimate that he surrendered
to the flag. The truth is, however, that he
surrendered to the force, as he showed
every disposition to fight against the flag,
in case of the Saratoga, when she was
alone there, and indeed I was informed,
by officers of that vessel, he said he could
whip her.
On one occasion when her boats were
out practicing with small arms, they ap
proached near the camp on the Point
Arenas, when the people in the boats
could hear the orders given to “fall in,”
the rattling of arms, &c., showing that
they expected an attack, and were pre
pared to resist it.
The U. S. steam-frigate Susquehama,
Capt. Joshua R. Sands, arrived atGrey-
towu on the 13th inst. All well.
H. B. M. ship Brunswick arrived at
Aspinwall from Creytown on the 17th.
A Visit to gen. Walker—his own Ac
count.—On his arrival in this city, Gen.
William Walker immediately proceeded
to the residence of Gen. Henningsen, in
Twelfth street. Gen. H. is in Washing
ton, but his lady was at home, and gave
the great fillibuster a welcome reception.
We found him in Mrs. H.’s parlor about
11 o’clock last night, looking as well as
when he was in New York last June. He
was in his brown frock coat, gray pants,
and in blander mood than ever. He was
as composed as ever, and readily detailed
in his low moderate voice the story of his
last adventure. He said;
Col. Anderson was landed with fifty men
at the mouth of the Colorado. They pro
ceeded up the river to Pitaca point—Cel.
Anderson posting himself at Leefer’s Island.
Gen Walker afterwards landed with his
force at Punta Arenas. He received
several letters from Capt. Chatard, of the
Saratoga, to which he gave no reply.
Hearing that the Costa Iiicans were in
charge of Fort San Carlos, many of them
sick, and that the Nicaraguans and Costa
Ricans were engaged in actual hostilities,
he (Gen. W.) sent up a boat with a small
party of men, to increase Col. Anderson’s
force to some sixty men, with orders that
he proceed to Castillo Viejo, and, if pos
sible, there to cut out the steamer and pro
ceed with her, provided they should find
there was not any formidable opposition
With a small force Colonel Anderson
proceeded to execute the order. He
arrived at Castillo Viejo, Dec. 4, cut from
her fastening the river steamer Bulwer
and then the Morgan; then took posses
sion ofthe Ogden. The enemy—the Costa
Ricans—fired one volley of musketry.
They put one six-pound shot through the
Ogden. As there was no more firing, on
the afternoon of the same day Colonel
Anderson took possession of the Fort.
He captured six guus, one 18-pound
brass, one 6-pound iron, one 6-pound brass,
one 4-pounder, one 12-pound howitzer, and
onehuudred and fifty muskets, with cor
responding ammunition for all, a number of
cattle, milch cows, commissary stores, as
well as quartermaster’s stores, as cotton,
clothing, and the like.
On the morning of the 5th. Colonel
Anderson sent Lieutenant Belcher on the
Ogden with fifteen men and took the
steamer Virgin, lying above the Toro
Rapids.
On the 6th the United States steam
frigate Wabash arrived off San Juan del
Norte. The 3ame morning Her British
Majesty’8 steamer Brunswick, propeller,
and Leopard, side-wheel, arrived off San
Juan. On the afternoon of the 7th the
United States steamer Fulton arrived,
making four steamers, two British and two
American (including the Saratoga) in the
port.
On the evening of the
Walker saw a launch put off from the'
Saratoga, filled with armed men, and pro
ceeded to the month of the river. He vent
Capt. Fayssoux to see what it meant* As
the Captain approached tbe launch he was
bailed, and told that he conld not go up
the river. Capt. F. replied, “This is a Nic
araguan boat, in Nicaargnean waters.” But
the same order was repeated—“You can
not go up.” Capt. Faysonx asked by what
authority he was forbidden. Ho was an
swered,“By orders of Comodore Paulding. ’
Capt. F. asked who gave the order, and
was answered Lieut. Cilley, of the Sarato
ga. As soon as these facts were reported
to Gen. Walker, Capt F. was ordered to
go on board tbe Wabasb, and explain to
the Commndore the position of Gen. Walk
er’s command—that a portion of bis force
was up the river—the necessity ofthe Gen^
eral’s hedding communication with it; if his
force were to be kept prisoners in their
own camp, and hampered in their oper
ations—he wanted to know it as soon as
possible.
On the morning of the Sth Captain Fays
soux went on board the Wabash. Soon
afterwards General Walker noticed that
Commodore’s penant was moved from the
Wabash to the Fulton; soon after the Ful
ton came into the harbor, up to the hulk
opposite the Transit Company’s building,
and there landed a large force of sailors
and marines. At the same time a number
of small boats and currers fully manned
and provided with boat-howitzers were
ranged in a line in front of General Walk
er’s camp. The Saratoga was also made
to present her broadside.
Seeing that the Comodore intended to use
force, Gen. Walker, to prevent any acci
dental collision, ordered the whole guard
to be disarmed. Soon Capt. Frederic En
gle, Lieutenant commanding the Wabash,
came up in his boat, landed in front of tho
General’s quarters, and handed him a let
ter from the Commodore, which concluded
with a demand that he surrender to tho
United States. Capt. Engle ordered the Nic
erauguan flag to be hauled down. The or-
derwas obeyed, Gen. Walker then went on
board the Wabash; his officers and men
went on board the Saratoga. 140 or 150 in
all. Meanwhile, just after the flag was
struck, the steamer Morgan came down
the river into the harbor with 40 Costa Ri
can prisoners on board. She was in charge
of Mr. McDonald, as the agent of Morgan
& Son, McD explained his position to
Commodore Paulding; The Commodore
at once took possession of the Morgan, re
leased the prisoners, and gave the boat in
to possession of the American Consul, Mr,
Cottrell.
It was suggested that the steamer be
permitted to go up and inform Col. Ander
son of the position of things; but it was not
accaded to.
The Saratoga sailed on the 12th for
Norfolk, and the Wabash for Aspinwall
early on the morning ofthe 14th.
Col. Anderson holds the Fort Castillo
and the steamer Virgin. The other boats
are on the lake, but as the Costa Ricans
held Fort San Carlos, ho could not com
municate with them.
General Walker seems to feel the pe
culiarity of Anderson’s position. He did
not think the Costa Ricans were very like
ly to disturb them, but, whatever occured
the United States Government was alone
responsible for the lives of the men. Ho
referred to tbe great sacrifices which most
of his men had made to go to Nicaragua,
and of the losses and disappointments
which this sudden interruption of their
plans would occasion. He seems in excel
lent spirits no way doubtful of ultimato
success, and more sanguine than ever. To
day, he said, he should formerly surrender
himself to the United States Marshal, and
inquired where he could find his office.—
[ New York Times of Monday.
Annie Laurie.—‘‘If yon want to Lear Annio
Laurie sung 1 , come to my house,” said a man to
his friend. “We have a love-lorn fellow in tho
village, who was sadly wrecked by the refusal
of ft girl whom he had been paying attention to
for a year or more. It is seldom he will attempt
the song, but when he does, I tell you, it draws
tears from eyes unused to weeping.”
A small selected company had assembled in a
small pleasant parlor, and were gaily chatting and
laughing when a tall young man entered, whose
peculiar face and air instantly arrested the atten
tion. He was very pale, with that clear vivid
complexion, which dark haired consumptives so
often have. His locks were as black as jet, and
hung profusely upon a square white collar. His
eyes were very large and spiritual, and his brow
snch an one as a poet should have. But for a cer
tain wandering look, a casual observer would
have pronounced him a man of uncommon intellec
tual powers. The words “poor fellow” and “ how
sad ho looks,” went the rounds as he came forward
bowed to the company, and took his seat. One or
two though! less girls laughed as they whispered
he was “love cracked,”—but the rest treated hitn
with a respectful deference.
It was late in the evening when singing was
proposed, and to ask him to sing ‘Annie Laurie’
was a task of uncommon delicacy. One song af
ter another was sung, and at last that one was
named. At its mention the young man turned
deadly pale, but did not speak; he seemed instant
ly to be lost in reverie. “The name of the girl
who treated hin so badly was Annie,” said a lady
whispering to the new guest—but oh! I wish ho
would sing it; nobody else can do it justice.”
“No one dares sing Annie. Laurie before yen
Chartes,” said an elderly lady; ‘would it be too
much to ask you to favor the company with it 7”
she added timidly.
He did not reply for a moment, his lips quivered a
little, and then looking up as if he saw a spiritual
presence, he began. Every sound was hushed—
it seemed as if his voice were the voice of an angel.
The tones vibrated through nerve, and pulse, and
heart, and made ono shiver with the pathos of his
feelings; never was heard melody in a human
voice like tliat—so plaintive, so soulful—so ten
der and enrnest!
He sat with his head thrown back, his eyes half
dosed—the locks of hair glistening against his
pale temples, his fine threat swelling with the rich
tones, his hands lightly folded before him; and as
he sung—
“And ’twas there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true—”
it seemed as if he shook from head to foot with
emotion. Many a lip trembled—and there was no
testing, no laughing: but instead, tears in more
than one eye.
And on he sang, and on, holding every one in'
rapt attention, til he came to tbe last verse.
“Like dew on the gowan lying
Is the fa' of her fairy feet—
And like winds in summer sighing,
Her voice is low and sweet,
Her voice is low and sweet
And she’s a’ the world to me—”
He paused before he added—
“And for bonnie Annie Latitie.
I’d lay me down and die.”
There was a long solemn pause. The black
locks seemed.to grow blacker—tbe white temples
whiter almost imperceptibly the head falling back
the eyes were close shut. One glanced at another
all seemed awe struck—till the same person who
urged him to sing:
Charles, Charles!
Then came a hush—a thrill of horror crept
through every fratno—the poor tired heart had
ceased to beat—Charles the love betrayed was
dead.
The old fashion of red petticoats has
come round again. According to the
Washington Star,—“The lady promena-
ders on the avenue this morning, were
somewhat horrified at the appearance of a
distinguished foreigner, who held up her
dress so as to display an undoubted scarlet
flannel under skirt. These peasant petti-
coats are now all the rage across the water.
Queen Victoria brought them to London
from her Balmoral palace in the Highlands
of Scotland, about two years ago, and this
year they have been adopted by the Em
press Eugenie. Of course they are a la
mode, those of alternate narrow stripes of
red and black flannel being more distingue
than the plain scarlet. Silks and satins
are no longer trailed in the mud, and the
ladies w(jo wish to be a la mode should not
only provide themselves at once, but prac
tice gathering np their dresses in graceful
folds, so as to display about a foot oi the
bright colored under skirt,”
