OUR COUNTRY, RIGHT OR WRONG.
Our country right or wrong,"
What manly heart can doubt,
SThat thus should swvell the patrbt song,
Thus ring the patriot shout ?
Be but the foe arrayed,
And War's wild trumpet blown-,
Cold were his heart who has nit made
His country's ca Lse his own.
Though faction rules the halls
Where nobler hearts have swayed,
One satied V..uct f,-rever cails
The patriot's heart and blade !
1He, at his country's name,
Feels every pulse beat high,
Wreathes round her glory all his fame,
And loves for her to die !
Where 'er her flag nroll'd
Woos the saluting breeze,
Flings o'er the plain its starry fold,
Or floats on stormy seas--
All dearest things are there,
All that makes life divine,
Home, faith, the brave, the- true, the fair
Cling to the flaming sign.
Oh, is this thought a dream ?
No by the gallant dead,
Who sleep by plain and hill, and stream,
Or deep on ocean's bed,
By every sacred name,
By every glorious song,
* By all we love and know of fame,
Our country--right or wrong."
AN ARTIST'S REVENGE
A amusing correspondent of the Cour
er' Etats Unis tells the following:
jne of our most celebrated
painters had made, with the
vfw of exhibition at the Gal
Jerry, the portrait of a lady
whose fortune has enable he
top occupy a very brilliant pos
itf/n, and who had been, for


long time, regarded as one o
the most beautiful women o
Paris. Unfortunately, this re
putation is one of such lona
standing, that it is already 01
Sthe wane. The lady in ques
tion has already reached a
-age to which no one is eve
willing to acknowledge, how


ever much it may have been
extolled by the witty pen of
Balzac.
The dusty files of the Civil
Registry kept the secret of her
forty summers, which she con-
cealed as well as she could,
with a wonderful skill, aud by
her great endeavors to be as
attractive as in time past.
Paris is a place of great re-
sources; ointments for all
wounds are to be found there,
as well as admirers of all ages.
Our heroine maintained her
pretensions bravely; her vanity
was tolerated, and being desi-
rous of giving publicity to her
attractions by an exhibition at
the Louvre, she had her por-
trait painted. She prepared
her best looks for the purpose,
wearing her most becoming
dress, assuming a position most
favorable to her charms, sea-
ted before her toilette table,
leaning negligently on the arm
of her chair, arid smiling upon
htr own reflection in the iil0i
ror, which coursewas b
most complimentary to her
charms.
The painter sketched a
most striking likeness; in doing
so, he did just what he should
not have done. A little more
flattery, and a little less exact-
ness, would have been far
more acceptable. The per-
fectness of the likeness made
her less willing to recognize ijs
merits. The model declared;
she could not see -any likeniess
in it, and the painting was left
on the hands of the unfortu-
nate painter.
This was a double wrong tc
Our artist Attacked both
professionally and pecuniarily
the painter had not sufficient
I resignation to enable him tc
) look on coolly and see a per
- trait worth a thousand crown
, left on his hands. A way t(
r be revenged, or rather to d(
- himself justice, presented itself
a to his mind, and he set himself
f at once about putting it irit4


f execution.
- A few days before the titm(
g for offering paintings for thi
n exhibition at the Louvre, th

from complimentary. She im--

studio of our artist. The por-
trait was still there; the like-
ness of the face as perfect as.
ever; chly the painter had the
brows somewhat dismantled,
and tke person so faithfully
represented was holding in
her hands two bunches of false
curls.
Upon her toilette table were
found several vials, upon which
were legibly written these
words: "white lead;" "'vegeta-
ble rotge;" cosmetic for the
removd of wrinkles;" "waters
for dydng the hair." Then in
the mitst of all this artillery
could te distinctly seen three
billets,signed by three differ-
ent chistian names.
q "Ths is abominable !." cried',
the lacy; "it is all a tissue of
calumiles!"
,Of vhat do you complain ?"
replied( the painter very coolly.
+ 'y..aiot insisted that-
therivas not the least likeness

THE MAN OP LEISURE.
"You'll please not ,to forget
to ask the place for me, sir,"
said a pale blue eyed boy, as
he brushed the coat of the rich
man of leishre at his lodgings.
'Certairjly not,' aid Mr. ink-
lin, '1 will be going that way
in a day or two '
'Did you ask ,t the place
for me yesterday ?' said the
boy on the following day' with
quivering lip, as he performed
the same office.
'No,' was the answer, I was
busy, but I will to-day.,
Heaven help my mother,
murmered tbe boy, and gazed
listlessly on the cent Mr. Ink-
lia laid in his hand.
The boy went home. He.
ran to the hungry children
with a loaf of bread he had
earned by brushing the,.gentle-
men s coats at the hotel.-
They shouted with joy, and
his mother held out her hand
for a portion, while a smile
litted across her face.
Mother, dear, said the boy,

Mr. Inklin thinks he can get
me the place, and I shall have
three meals a day, only think,
another, three meals, ,and it
wont take me three minutes to
run home and share it .with
you. ,
The morning came; and the
)ale boys voice trembled with
3agernessas he asked Mr. Ink-
in if he had obtained the
lace.
Not yet, said the man of
eisure, but there is time
enough.
The cent that morning was
tet with tears.
Another morning arrived;
It is very thoughtless in the

SICKNESS IN THE ARM.--A gentlemann
writing from Matamoras says:- a
Regret to say that the measles have
broken out in our camp, and Doct. Axsom i n
his report declares that it has assumed an
epidemic form, At present we have had no
deaths, 'but some very critical cases. The
dysentery is also veiy had with many."


(l?' Our gallant contemporary of the
Savannah Republican, is charging nobly
into some resolutions which Mr. Webster
recently introduced in the Senate of the
U. S., stating that "6Our Government
ought no,. to desist from its military oper-.
ations, and tender terms to the Mexicans."'
The Republican, after scoring it into the
Government for its negligence in not pro-
viding General Taylor with the means to
follow up his brilliant victories of the 8th
and 9th, and mentioning that the course
pursued by it is one calculated to prolong
the war, thus concludes:-
"The proposition for peace ought to
come from the Mexicans, if the moral and
political influences .expected to flow from
this war, areAintended to result beneficially
to the United States. The surest way for

a nation to obtain peace, is toehold herself
in readiness to fight, and to fighting earnest
at any time, and with any foe. This boy's
play is neither becoming onr national dig-
nity, nor our national power. It will pro-
long the war for years to the injury of ev-
i ery interest involved. If the Government
will only furnish General Taylor and Genl.
Gaines with the mea-ns, they will ensure
peace to both countries in less than a
twelve month."

in speaking of Gen. Taylor, says:

try, and always has considered it and re-
gards it as his home. His father, Col.
Richard Taylor, was an officer in the Old
Continental army, and died at his residence

SA NOVEL ExcuSE.-In the battle of the
Resaca de la Palma, a hand-to-hand skir-
mish, a soldier in our army, a quaint
Irishman, pierced a Mexican with his bay-
onet and immediately after fired the con-
tents of his musket. "What was that for,"
said the officer in command of the squad,
in a tone signifying his disapproval of the
act. "Oh" said the soldier, much puzzled
for an answer, "What was it for ?-why to
make a hole to get my bayonet out of to be
sure."

CURIOUS CASE. A young lady in Sibee,
Me. has died in a sudden and singular man-
er. She was attacked in the night, with a
most excruciating head-ache which caused
her to scream in agony. A Physician was
sent for, and after examining the case, he
pronounced it a fever, and prescribed ac-
cordingly. But his prescription afforded
no relief, and the patient died. 'While
laying out the body, an eai wig was seen
issuing from one of her ears, and it is said
it passed from one ear to the other entirely
through her head. This is impossible.
Nevertheless the presence of an insect in
the ear may be higfily dangerous. By
dropping a teaspoonful of'gin or sweet oil
in the ear, the cause will be destroyed.

WIGHTMANS' HOUSE.
PALAIKA, E. F.
THE subscriber having established him-
self at Pa atka, East Florida, is prepared to
receive visitors at all seasons of the year.
His conveniences and accommodations for
those whom sickness or pleasure might at-
tract to Florida he entertains a hope are
equal to any in the place.
The salubrity of Palatka is too well known
to need any comment-suffice it to say that
it was selected as a military post during the
Indian war in preference to all other sites
on account of its general healthiness, and
the facilities which it afforded.
The immediate vicinity of Palatka abounds
in game of all description ; the river, a bold
sheet of water running at its side, yeilds a
supply of the most delicious fish-while the
numerous orange groves of its neighbor-
hood gives a perfume and a feeling to the
senses truly inviting and enchanting.
The man of leisure, the sportsman, the
invalid-the lover of the beautiful and pic-
turesque, will find employment for the mind
at Palatka which no other locality in E. F.
holds out. I A
'From Palatka, the distance to the ocean
is about fifteen miles-the citizens of the
place of course enjoying the sodAing sea
breezes which loose in their travel the se-
verity which is experienced at Jacksonville
and St. Augustine. The rear of the town
is girted by high elevations--meandering
rivulets-with pleasing prospect and unin-
terrupted retreats.
There are two steamboats which, arrive
weekly at the place from Savannah, one
carrying the U. S. mail-also a small team-
