A BATTLE WITH BILLINGSGATE.
SUGGESTED B7 THAT OP BLENHEIM.
It was the Christmas holydays,
And seated in the pit.
A father saw the new burlesque,
Tbafwas an full of wil
And by him sat—inSlarfg unskill d—
His pretty little girl, Clotilde. >
She heard some ‘ladies’ on the stage,
Ssy they would “cut their sticks;’
And one in male attire declared
That she’d ‘go it like bricks.'
She asked her lather what were ‘bricks?'
And what they meant by ‘cat their kiicks?’
The father heard the audience laugh.
As at some very witty stroke ;
And the old man lie scratch'd his bead.
For lie couldn't see the joke.
•I don’t know what they mean,’ said ho,
‘But sure 'lis some fucelite.'
And then she heard one. nearly nude,
'Say something else about. -
‘Has your fond mother sold her mangle T
And does she know you’re out?'
And ween the people laughed, cried all*.
•Oh.pt! there’s mqre facelift!'
Ami then the little maiden said.
‘Now. tell me why, papa.
That lady asked him i tbe mangle
Win sold by his ins ms V
'I can’t tell why. niy dear.’said he,
‘Though, of course, 'tis some facelift.’
But when she saw the ladies fingers
Unto Iter nose applied,
‘Why, ’tis a very vulgar thing!’
The little maiden cried
■The papers all. my child, agree,
'Tis brim foil of facetite !’
And every body says the piece.
With brilliant wit is fill’d
‘And wlrai is wit. my deal papa?’
Cluotlt innocent Clotilde.
‘Why, that 1^cannot say.’quoth he,
•But wit is not—vulgarity.’
that all Afnericaos residing In this country
should be made prisoners of war, as u t ttal
stroke to those usurping ‘ pirates—|l>e gentle
name generally applied to them—and that this
garrison should he reinforced with some 3.000
more troops. When I read this article in one
of the flaming periodicals, it was rather grating
to me in my isolated condition. I determined,
however, upon the old Roman inotto—
Who would be free, must himself strike the blow.”
“You very kindly inquire if the existing vrnr
lias injured us in a pecuniary point’? it has.
very materially; but that loss has not in the
least allowed my spirits to flag. Mv-trust is in
Him who can withhold and bestow. We havw

desperate remedy.
‘•Two spies came daily to my house, always
under tbe guise of friendship; and on cneoccd-
sion, one of the wretches believing t l >at I was
possessed of Hems concerning American move

were to join Gen. Taylor at Mtttamoras,‘30,-
000 more had been dispatched to capture San

A NEW YEAR’S NIGHT OF AN UNHAPPY ONE..

upon the.slill. pure, snowy earth', on u-liich r 'now

i in every direction, to procure mules, etc., for the rod ot ri.'peutance. the beautiful du>s ol nu
conveyance of property to the interior; mid youth were changed to-day into ghosts, and
■ transported him back to that bright morning,
where his father had first- placed him onahe
crossroads of life, which to the right, upon-the
sunny road of virtue, leads into a wide, peace
ful land, full of light and harvest and angels,
and which on the left drags down into the mole
hill of vice, into u black cave, full of dropping
poison, full of hissing snakes, and black, hot va
pors. Also, the serpents clung around his breast,
and the drops of poison were upon his tongue,
and he knew not where he was.
Unconscious, and with inexpressible grief,
he lifted np his hands towaids Heaven, and ex
claimed : “Oh, give me back my youth ! Oh,
father, place, place me once more upon the
crossroads, that 1 may choose otherwise!”—
But his father and his youth had long passed
away. He saw ignus fetui dancing upon
swamps and extinguished in churchyards, and
he said : “They are the days of my folly !”—■
He saw a star fly from Heaven, it glillered iu
its fall, and vanished on the earth. “'Thalia
I!” said his bleeding heart, and serpent teeth
buried themselves deeper into its wounds.
II s glowing imagination showed him stealthy
sleep-walkers on the roof; and the windmill
lifted up its arms, ready to crush him, and a
skull in the empty charnel house by degrees as
sumed It's features. In the midst of this con
vulsion. tbe New Year’s music suddenly floated
down from the steeple, like distant church
songs. His emotions became fnore lender;
lie looked around the horizon and oyer the wide
earth, 1 and lie thought on the friends of his
youth, who now, happier and better than he,
were fathers of happy children and blessed
men, : atid he said, “Alas f 1 too might like you
have been sleeping with tearless eyes through
this New Year's night, if 1 had chosen. Alas
l might have been happy, dear parents, if I bad
fulfilled your New Year’s wishes and admoni
tions.” «
In the feverish recollection of his youth, it
appeared to him as if the skull with his features
was arising in the charnel house'; finally,
through the superstition, which in the New
Year’s night beholds spirits and futurity it was
converted into a living youth, like the beautiful
youth on the capitol, extracting a thorn front
Ids foot,* and bitterly his fancy showed him his
blooming figure.
lie could view it no more ; he covered his
eyes, a thousand hot tears vanished in the'snow ;
disconsolate and despairing, he iigheq.fowly—
“ return, Oh ! youth, return!”
And it did return; for lie had only dreamed
so horribly in tbe New Year’s night,—he was
still a youth. Ilis sins alone, had not been u
dream; but he thanked God that he, still young,
had it yet in his power to withdraw from the fil
thy ways of vice, and to return to the sunny
path which leads to the pure laud of harvests.
Turn back with him, young render, if yr.i*
are standing on the path of error! 'This hor
rible dream will by and by become your judge;
but if you should once cry out it) misery, “re-
turn, beautiful youth!” it would never return.

ANCESTRY OF GEORGE WASHINGTON.
We observe a laudatory notice in one of our
%
and mine especially. In beginning my in)per
fect narrative, one great misfortune seems to
accompany me—my pen can never keep pace
with my feelings. You will have been aware
of Ur. Chase’s expulsion, agreeable to the de
cree of the 12th of May last: and in compliance
with that act lie had only twenty-four hours’
notice to embark, or eight days to retire twenty
leagues into the interior. He prudently chose
the former, and embarked forthwith on hoard
of the Tampico, leaving some eighty thousand
dollars in his store with no other protection
than such ns 1 could afford, and two cierks, one
of whom was a Mexican—and, in accordance
with the true spirit of Mexican chivalry, com
menced robbing me. In fact, rr.y annoy aucts
were so numerous that 1 cannot give you them
in detail, knowing the sympathy you feel lor
my perilous position iu tins new drama. In the
next place, Inez de Priroera Instnncia, by or
der of the commanding Uener.il, passed me a
notice that my privileges ceased as the wife of
the American consul, and my store must be
closed. 1 replied to him in the most decisive
manner, that I was not only his wife, hot his
constituted agon.—in addition to this I was a
British subject, and, as such, neither the
Judge nor the General, could deprive me of tny
natural rights, as the iiluglish law admitted of
no alienation—staling that any infraction on its
prerogative would be hastily chastised by that
Government; and, iu confirmation of my asscr
lion, referred the It-arued Inez to (he Law of
Nations.
“ Thus defeated and exasperated, I was not
allowed to send an open note to my husband,
then off the Bar. But. thank God, who ‘tem
pers tlie wind to the shorn lamb,’ He directed
me, and I concerted a plan which again defeat
ed their hostile purpose, and sent by stratagem
nine letters in eight weeks, and through the
same means received replies. But those things
were daily making inroads upon my health and
my spirits, which I most carefully concealed
from my good husband, knowing the intensity
r.f his feelings for his Government, aud particu
larly for.my welfare.
“I mthe meantime drew a plan of the city
and riverj and had it sent to Com. Conner and
my feeble efforts had wrought so strangely in
our national welfare. Here I must pause, and
say I cannot pretend to describe my feelings at
that time. Fortitude seemed to give waj r ; and
in the midst of this emotion, I again saw the
squadron nearing to the bar, the boats manned,
and the line passing, (they standing their own
pilots over that intricate passage) and the btoad
pennant flying at two mastheads—the blue and
red. My faithful Amelia and myself ran to
Mr. Chase’s ofiice and in solitude offered a
prayer, then pulled the flag down and alone
rushed to the housetop: I carried it up and
tied it on the line with my own hands, and we
—Amelia, myself and Mr. Ulder—hoisted it,
myself giving the .first pull. Thus we defied
the whole town of Tampico. I sent for some
of the Americads, but not one possessed, cour
age or naiiouul spirit enough to lead a hand.
“In thirty minutes the Ayuntementc called
upon me ami ordered me to haul it down. I
replied it was raised as a right of protection.—
They said I had no suqh l ight. 1 rejoined that
it u as ^ matter of opinion in which we could
not agree. They said it was u burlesque upon
their nmion—a lady taking the citVr—and what
would the Supreme Government of Mexico say?
I replied very laconically, ‘Quein sabeV ana
offered them wine under Uie.uow banner.—
They threatened the house. I ran to its top,
and asked Mr. Udle if he would stand by me.
He replied, ‘Yes.’ ‘Then,’ said I, ‘ihe flag
must remain, or all of us he sent over the house,
top, as I shall never pull it down nor suffer any
Mexican to sully it by his touch.’ I had been
robbed, my store entered and pillaged of more
titan two thousand dollars in the dead of the
night; and when the regiment from Puebla en
tered this city, they enteied my store and car
ried off goods, and I had no redress and still
less sympathy; and thouf L ‘ u ~
the Just was my captain
nothing to foar from all Mexico. And now the
hour of my redemption was at hand. 1 expect
ed they would either fire upon or storm the
house. I rested with my right arm round tile
flag-s(off, the banner waving in mnjeslical beau
ty, antH the squadron nearing the city, where
they saw the flag. It was like lightning to pil-
