A dial in the twilight lay Reflecting back pale evening’s ray, When stealthily two lovers came, And leaned beside its silent frame : •‘Mute marker of the moments’ flight, Oh dial, tell us of the night!” But who might trace time’s tangled way On dials dim wilh twilight gray ? As brightly now the midnight moon Rode o’er the starry arch of noun, To learn the hour of eventide. Again the youth and maiden sighed : “Mute marker of the moments flight, Oh ! dial, tell us of the night !” But ’nealli Ute moon’s uncertain ray The shadow pointed still astray'. Unconscious how the moments flew, (Hound by the spell which passion draw,) Unto the dial’s line of shade, Once more approached the youth ant! maid : “Mute marker of the moments’ (light. Oh ! dial, tell ns of the night ! When (how could night so fast have worn ?) The tell tale shadow marked the morn. And as they' watched the silv’ry face Where day his hour began to trace, In morning light, now strongly grown. This motto o’er tite circle shown : “When lovers meet at eventide. Time marks not how the moments glide : When lovers parr at rosy light Time counts the ling’ring hours till night.” [Fm»n the A T . O. Picayune . 19/a inst ■] Further Jlcxicuu Items. The papers of the capital speculate much about Santa Anna’s chances of suc cess against Taylor. They confess to iheir superiority in mere numbers, but claim that the Mexicans are worn nut by fatigues and hardships, while the Ameri cans have calmly prepared for the con flict. In regard to the hardships whick were encountered by his troops, if all accounts agree, they must have been severe. 7 Stagnant water sold at Matehuala at one dollar a barrel. Soldiers frequently fell overcome wilh fatigue and perished with out shelter in the snow. Bitterly is the Administration denounced for not having raised means to mitigate their hardships. All the credit of raising and supporting the army is justly bestowed on Samal Anna, and should he fail in his attack upon Gen. Taylor, it would hardly shake Ids authority with his countrymen. A letter dated the 12th till., from San Luis, says the army was compelled to leave behind in that city a portion of its artillery, for want of means of transpor tation, but that it would be despatched in : a few days agreeably to the orders left by Santa Anna. The Mexican Government has learned jhrnugh its consul at Havana of the expe dition of Gel)- Scott upon Vera Cruz.— Troops were accordingly ordered by the Government to march ai once from the capito! to Vera Cruz, hut, as i.‘ chances, j the body designated for this duty and j which was to have moved on the 26th uti- ! der Canalizoand La Vega, was involved | to a great extent in the revolt which broke I out the following day. We find an announcement that about j the 20th ult,. by the renting or farming of the mints, the Government had suc ceeded in raising 8300,000 in cash, ono third of which was despatched on the 23d to the armv. ALre than half of the sum thus raised was from the contract for the. mint in the capito!, the contract being for ten years. The Government has begun to raise a little rfionev out of the clergy. The sale of a house belonging to the chnrch is men tinned. It is said to he worth about 850.- 000, and it sold for 820,000, part in pa per, part in cash. The potting in force the law' against the property of the clergy probably hurried on the insurrection against Farias. The Secretary of the Treasury, Senor Castillo, was dismissed I from office #or refusing to sign the bill of saU of the house mentioned. We find another letter from Santa An- Ba, dated the 17th ult., from San Salva dor, in which he denounces what lie calls ibe assassination by the invaders of twen ly-six individuals, inhabitants of Agua Nueva, who had taken refuge at the Ojo cle Agua de Caiana. He makes ibis charge on the authority ol Gen. Andrade, wh o9o Setter he adds; and he says the . .. j,i.Ttwww— mirirr” riMgarJxacmiMH i* ’ facts are confirmed from other sources. — | Santa Anna bids tlie Secretary of War i say 10 the Vice President that lie “will i very soon lake satisfaction for the excess, I committed by these men, which are an ! outrage to civilization and the human ; j race.” Gen. Andrade says that, besides , I the twenty-six “assassinated, sixteen . ! were made prisoners, and that they were j 1 all peaceable citizens. There is,of course, 1 ; exaggeration about this, but the truth will hardly be cleared up till we receive des patches from Gen. Taylor. : We have come across a letter of Gen. j Arista dated the 20:h ult., in the city of | I Mexico. He defends himself vigorously i from the aspersions of a paper called the j Democrat. He thus speaks of the bat i ties of the Bth and 9ih of May: “In re j gard to the misfortunes of Palo Alto and j La Ilesaca, I will tell them that I was I not the author oftbem. A great calami- I ty, without doubt, was the action of the ■ 9th; but that of the Blli never brought j disgrace on the Republic. At daybreak i nn the 9th the Mexican soldiers saw the j flag of the enemy dying more than a mile | in the rear of the bloody field of action of the day previous.’* A list a asks a suspension of public opin ion till lie can have his trial, winch he is anxiously awaiting. He says he will then explain the circumstances which led to ihe disasters of La llesaca. He must find some more substantial cief'nco than the pretext that the Americans did not re main master ofihe field at Palo Alio; nay, that th<=*v did not drive the Mexicans from their position and sleep upon the ground occupied by the Mexicans in the morning. Thcoiiorf liook'a Iloaxinj. Hook called, and in the course ofcon versation gave me an account of his go- i ing to Lord Melville’s trial with a friend. They went early, and wore engaged in conversation when the peers began to enter. At this moment a country-look ing lady, whom he afterwards found to lie : a resident at Rye, in Sussex, touched his arm and said —“l beg you pardon, sir, but prav who a'e those gentlemen in red j now coming in?” “Those, arndam,” re- j turned Theodore, “are the barons ol Eng- ! land: in these cases the junior peers ai- | ways come first.” “Thank you, sir; much obliged to you. Louisa, my dear, {’turning to a girl of about fourteen] tell Jane [about those are the barons of England, and juniors (that’s the young est. you know) always goes first. Tell her to be sure and remember that when we gel home.” “Doar me, ma!” ex claimed Louisa, “can (hat gentleman he one of the i/oungest? I arn sure he looks | very oldl” Human nature could not ■ stand this: any one, though with no more mischief in him than a dove, must have i been excited to a hoax. “And pray, sir,” j continued the lady, “what gentleman are ; these?” pointing to the bishops, who came i next in order, in the dress which they ! wear on stale occasions, namely, the | rochet and lawn sleeves over their doc | tor’s robes. “Gentlemen, madam!” said i Hook: “these are not gentlemen—they are ladies, elderly ladies —the dowager ; peeresses in their own right.” The fair inquirer fixed a penetrating glance upon his countenance, saying as painty as the | eye can say—“ Are you quizzing me or 1 no?” Not a muscle moved. At last, tolerably well satisfied w ith her scrutiny, j she turned round .and whispered—“Lou j isa, dear, the gentleman says that these 1 are elderly la lies and dowagos peeresses j in their ow n right. Tell Jane not to for I get that.” All went on smoothly until the Speaker of the House of Commons attracted her attention l*v the rich cm- ‘ broidery of his robes. “Pray, sir,” said : she “and who is that fine looking man op- ; posite?” “That, madam, is Cardinal Wolsev, xvas the answer. “No. sir,” ; f cried the lady, drawing herself up, and 1 casting at her informant a look of angry i disdain, “xve know a little bettor than ! that; Cordinal Wohsey has been dead | ■ many a good year!” “No such a thing, ; j my dear madam, lassureyou,” replied : Hook, with a gravity that must have j been preternatural: “it has been, I know, ; so reported ir#ihe country, but without • ihe least foundation; the fact 5», those ra-cally newspapers will say anything.” The good old gentlewoman appeared thunder-struck, opened her eyes to their full extent, and gasped like a dying carp, vox faucibus hzosif, and seizing a dangh | ter with each hand, she hurried fiorn the spot without a word. m Decidedly Kich.

Few would object to the bequest ofsuch a “particular collection” of hooks as is mentioned in a late number of the Courier I des Flats Unis. The old king of Prussia had all his private treasury of hank notes | bound up into large volumes. He had in the chateau of Berlin, a particular cabinet called “The Private Library of the King,” which cabinet w as filled with i jrilt edged volumes upon the hackof which I were these words—“ Memoire* posthumes de S. M. 1c roi de Prussia a Vusage par. liciilicr dc son fils.” “Posthumous pa i pers of liis Ma jesty, the king of Prussia, j for the par.icular use of his son.” After ; *his death, the heir of the throne, a man j of genius, but nothing more, squandeted, this substance in less than six years. At the present time, the “posthumous papers” are completely exhausted, and in their place the king has placed the works of Frederick the Great. The library has gained in ideas, but sadly depreciated in market value. Xf.i rroiih of Advice. The following anecdote is told of Henry Field'ng: “The t-on of one Boaz de Papa, a celebrated Jew, was on the point of marrying a young christian lady, Ins lather made no objection to the intended wife’s religion, but was greatly dissatisfied with the much on account of her small fortune, in consequence of which he refused his consent. Toe son who was most, desperately in love, threaten ed Il»e lather that lie would marry her with out his consent —and the father in his turn, ! threatened that be would not give him a I shilling. The young Jew answered that I l.e would force him to do it, and that if j he refused dividing his substance with him, ; ho would g< t lomself baptised to enjoy the benefit of the English law, which, (then) j assigned lo a Jew’s child becoming chris | tian the half of his father’s property. — j B>:iz confounded at tins answer, went to i consult Fielding, to known if such a law ! lealiv existed. Fielding told him that it cer | lainlv did exist, and was in lull force —but | added, if lie would give him ten guineas lie would put him in away of frustrating his son’s hopes, so that he should not be ab e to get a farthing. Boaz instantly told down the len pnniea*. Fielding having pocketed the i m >nev,t<> d him his only remedy was lo turn | chibltau himsell!” Tricking n Esim!t. George Arnold, (remarks the facetious ! editor, Maj. Noah,) a well known wag, kept a lottery office, for several years, in Broad wav, opposite Masonic Hall. Wanting mo ney, he was encouraged by Mr. Cheesebo | rough. President of the Fulion Bank,tothrow in h.s note for discount, which he d.<!, and it was thrown out. 'i’he worthy Pres dent re ; gretted it, and advised George to throw in | again on the ensuing di»coui)t day, which he did, and they tossed it out. He tried it again, and with no better success. At length lie resolved to be even with them, and take a little sly revenge. He placed up a placard at his window —'•FuUon Sink notes taken at j par for Ij< tilery-tickets!' F was soon buzz'd f about the citv. ‘What is the matter with the Fulton Bank’ was asked on all sides. At i length the President called upon him. ‘Whv George, what do you mean by that placard?’ ‘Oh, nothing more than I will take Ful'on Bank notes at par for lottery tickets. No : harm in that.’ ‘Pray t ike it down, my good j friend —it does no good: take it down, and ; von mav throw in that little piece of paper, and it .-hall be done.’ George look down the placard, and the note was discounted.

Not the leai-t of the injurious effimts of a protective tar If upon the interests of agricnl { lure, is the crippling of the slopping interests , bv high duties and consequent high prices j for all the articles necessary for ihe con strurtion and rigging of vessels—as well as i the dimnnution of the amounlof imports of ! which they are the carriers. I Our attention has I een drawn to this sub- I jeef, by observing the enormous pric* l of freights at the ports of New York and New Orleans during the last month—cotton 2 cts. per lb to Liverpool and II <vre —corn 50 to 60 cts. per bush.—flour §1,75 to $2,00 per bl. | They would be a great deal lower under j freedom from commercial restrictions. We are aware, that the unusual and unex pected demand for shipping, to transport sup plies from this country to the starving mil lions of Europe, is a large ingredient in the price of freights wit h which our products are bur'ened, and which must cmne out of the profits of the producer, as surely as when an up-country farmer h res a wagon to bring his corn to Athens, tiie price paid mint, he deducted from the value of his corn after it | is sold in the market. Yet it cannot be de- I nied, and lo this we wish to call the alien j tion of the country, that but for the restric- I live system upon our commerce and naviga tion, which has weighed them down since 1524. a period of upwards of twenty years, that ships for freighting the farmers produce would have been more abundant—the pr ce of freights less— and his ( rnfits to that extent larereMhan they are at present.

Out upon this policy of faxing the American farmer and the American ship-owner, for the benefit of the American manufacturer, under the plea of protecting “A-m e-r-i-c-a n industry!” microscopic. The following Irom an article on the Micro scope, gives an ilea of some of the wonders of nature dUclosed bv that mstiument: “.Vlanv, and probably all, white chalk rocks are the produce of microscopic animalcules, which are forthe most part quite invisible to the naked eve. possessing calcareous shells, of which more than one million are well preserved in each cubic inch- that is, much more than ten millions in . ne pound of chalk. The extreme minuteness ot these chalk animalcules is strikingly proved by j the fact, that, even in the finest levigated whiting, multitudes of them are still present, and may be j applied without suffering changes to the meat 1 varied purposes; thus, in the chalk coating given to painted chambers, paper, or even glazed visit- j ing cards, (when not coaled with whi'e lead alone,) may be seen a prettv mosaic ot well pro- | served moss-coral animalcule*, invisible to the naked eve; and thus our natural vision receives from such a surface the impression of the purest white, little dreaming that it contains the (todies of millions of beings which once enjoved life beings of varied and beautiful forms, more or less closely crowded together.

Aimlst \. km. THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH 25, J«47. Our Kook Titbfc. We have received from the publishers, , through Mr. Thomas Richards, the following very interesting works: The Ldfe and Voyages of Columbus , by Washington Irving, (abridged by the author) 1 vol. duodecimo, with a portraji, map and illustrations. II irper ox Brothers, N. . Importance of Pradical Education and Useful Knowledge —being a selection from his orations and other discourses, by Edward Everett. Harper & Brothers, N. \ duod. 1 vol. The Life of Captain John Smith,/he Found er of Virginia, hv W. Gilmore Simms, duod. 1 vol., published by Geo. F. Coolidge & Brother, New York. This work is got up in beautiful style, with a fine portrait and several illustrations. A more interesting theme could not have been selected by an American author. We venture to predict that no bonk of biography that lias issued from tiie press in a long time lias attracted more attention than this is entitled to. John Smith is a name so common that to use a phrase that has become proverbial, it is, no name at all. Yet in the whole history of ro manccand adventure, there is no man whose career is more crowded with strange and eventful and thrilling incidents lh«*n was that of the celebrated Capt. John Smith. 1 hey are sufficient to supply the raw material for at least a half dozen romances of the Miss Jme Porter school of writing. It is another illustration «f the old saw, “truth is strange stranger than fiction.” There is also in il much food for the political philosopher, and the antiquarian. Much curious and valua ble information not every day met with, ran be found in its pages. The work is strictly historical—much of il is from tiie narrative of tiie distinguished subject, penned by him self. We freely recommend this work to tiie reading public, and feel assured that all who peruse it will agree with us that the subject was in truth a preux chevalier —a real fuil fledged hero. “It is held. That valor is the rhiefest virtue, and Most dignifies ihe, h iver: if it be The man I speak of cannot in the world, Re singly counterpoised.” But it is not liis romantic valor alone that made Capt. John Smith so interesting a char acter. That word does not by any means sum up all bis virtues. He was not alone skilled in deeds of arms, and gifted with a martial bearing “To fright the soul of fearful adversaries.” To the fair sex, lie was equally irresistible. We however will make but one comment more —which is that those who will read bis life cannot hereafter avoid associating much that is in a big!) degree romantic, with the unromanlic name of John Smith.

Few persons have witnessed the phe nomenon of luminous rain, but of the raenta and moral light that has rained upon the world during the present century, we are all conscious.

Fowlk, Dear Sin—This may certify that I am about seventy-five years of age, was born and have, al ways resided in this town, in October, 1345, I took cold, ami for six months I was afflicted with the influenza, arid the worse cough I have ever ex perienced during my whole life. Myself ami friends had strong doubts of ray ever recovering. 1 got a botlle_of Srhenck’s Syrup; It done me m» i good. 1 then applied to a physician, who prescrib ed for me several times, but did not cure me. At last my physician advised me to take Dr. WTS TAR’S CELEBRATED BALSAM OF WILD CHERRY, which has performed so many remark able cures. J did so, and I believe that saved my life, my cough left me entirely, when 1 had taken a single bottle. I arn now enjoying good health.— If I ever again have a similar attack, or any of my t family, I shall immediately resort to Dr. Wistar’ l Balsam of Wild Cherry. The physician who re commended this Balsam to me, was induced to do so from his own personal observation and experi ence in using it. One very strong case, of cure of a young man occurred in this immediate vicinity, of which Dr. Homan informed me. EPHRAIM SANDERS. None genuine unless signed I. Butts on the wrapper.
