The Old Arm Chair.
I love it. I love it, and who shall da 10
To clddo mo fov loving the old arm chair?
1'vo trea>t(Vcd it long as a sainted prixe.
I'vchedfewM it with tears, mid embraced it with
sighs.
'tis bound bv a thousand hands to my heart
Not it tie will I iron k. not >i link will start.
Would ye Ifenrn tho spella toother sat there,
An I u sacred thing is that old arm chair.
1 u chiMhood's Hour 1 lingered near,
The hiillmvjd seat wiili listening our,
And gentle words that mother would give
Tn fit mo to die. and teach me to live.
She t.?ld me shame wonld never hetide
Wi11? truth for my freed and Clod for n?y guide:
.She taught me to lisp iny earliest prayer,
As I knelt beside thnt old arm chair.
1 sat and watched her many a day.
When her eyes grew dim, and her locks were |
gray,
And I almost worshipped her when she smiled,
An I turned from her liilde to Mess her child.
Years tolled on, hut the last one sped?
My idol was shattered, my earth star lied,
i loariu now union cue Heart can bear,
When 1 saw her (lie in that old arm chair.
'Tis past ! 'tis past! Imt I gaze on it now.
With quivering breath and throbbing brow. |
'Twhs there nlie nursed ino, 'twas there she died !
Ami momort\ flows with lavii tide.
Say it i* folly, and deem jiic weak,
While the scalding drops start down my cheek, !
I love it, I love it. and who shall tear

A Lively Town to Live In.
An Amoricnn sojourning at Ma/.atlan, !
"Western Moxico, gives the. following graphic
account of tlio gentle manners of the j
uiui^uiujus tU Lllill UilVUlC|llilKy 10- I
cality :
In my last letter (<? 3-011 1 stated that our i
city \v;ts declared in a state of siege, though
tho enemy or opposition party was u long
way oft". Thing* rotnained in that condition
until about eight days ago (2!)th ult.,
when I was informed privately, at about !
S o'clock in tho evening, that the enemy, I
or ' Liberal'' party, had arrived within j
about two leagues of the town, and intended
to attack the barracks and the quarters
of the Governor tlu?t night. And as
thevo would probably be a sack or wholesale
robbery at tho time, I gave my friend
..li t . 1 > 1
iui my muss vaiuaoic watciics and jewelry
t i t:\ke care of, Ms home not being so liable
to attack as my. own. T fastened my
doors and wont to bed as usual, hoping it
might be a false report. But I awoke
aibout l:J o'clock, and in a few minutes after
a booming of cannon nnd rattling of
Mnall anus commenced. I was not long in
bed, you may be sure.
.M v arms, which arc always in readiness,
were placed so that I eonld lire through tlie
door, if the enemy attempted to break in ;
i . i...: -ii.i i
ium |jiiiumg mi ine oust customer watches
uiul $ ")(.) iu..silver money in my curpet bag,
and eighteen gold doubloons iu my pocket.
1 prepared for a run out of my back door
and owr to the top of my neighbor'a kitchen.
Thus ready for fighting and running,
I remained for more than two hours listening
to the terrific roar and rattle of these
midnight guns. During the. uightsomcof
the robbers went by yelling like devils,and
L heard'others breaking in the doors of
stores in Maiir-atroct; but 1 knew nothing
certain until morning, when a countryman
told me that as soon ns the attack was
made by tho Liberals on the barracks, the
criminals, seventy in number, in tho calaboose,
were released by a party outside;
and being joiued by other villains from oitr
population,.commenced breaking open and
robbing the stores on Main-street.
()ue store was gutted, the loss being 813,000
j others stores wore robbed to the a- |
innnnf ? > HOrt sio nnn ?1 - J
...v^uv v?? v^jvvv VI VU)WV uuu UI'IUH mm i
munuiuition taken from others, and oven |
womeu and children were seen carrying olT
bundles and packages of goods. Only one
man and one woman among the robbers
were killed, and some doz.on or morcwonnded.
Of the storekeepers, who were unprepared
for the sudden attack,.some were
killed. Among the other criminals who
escaped was the rascal who tried to murder
?nc about a yeai r?go; he had been .sentenced
to ten years nt hard labor. Tho
Liberals failed to take tlie barracks, and retreated
to their camp' before daybreak,without
losing a man. In the barracks one was
killed .and <nm* u.*?nii?#ln?l
_ ?r? ?
enough iimvg of caunon and musketry to
have produced one hundred killed aud five
huiulrcd wounded.
The stores that we're rohbed nil belonged
to foreigners?French, Spaniards, (Jermans
and Italians. . There arc no American
stores here except the drug store, ftt
which the robbers gave a few blows, but
soon loft for more attmetiv? plunder. As
tuc JiiDcralx are only waiting for a reinfurccnicnt
from Sonora l<> rnakc an attack on a
largo scale, the foreign merchants and
storukeopcra havo closed tlveir places and
liavo "been i'K toving their goods to tlieir
rcMpoctlve cor ulatcs for protection. Every
night they mount guard over their
goods, armed to the teeth. The French
are the most numerous, and havo mounted
two or threo small cannon on (he parapet
of their Consul's house. The English
('opsUrsent word to me, the day aft^r the
night, that T could send my things to his
house, if I wished. My carpet nag, with
enatdnipiH VrafohfcS and silver money, I deposited
in his safe, and sent my tools, ma
terials, Ao., to Heaven \s dnij; store, over
which a few Americans have hoisted tho
American flag. Tho valuables [ gavo my
friend before the fight arc now with him
safely aboard a German vessel, anchored
two miles from tho town.
My vhop is of course closed, like all the
rest, and our town look* like a city infested
with the plague. For eight days, these
khWs have hecn this way, and in the
moan time all kinds of rumors are current.
At the last reliable accounts the enemy
were sixty miles from hero, and ar<j overwhelming

The Mysterious Caso of Mrs Brannan j
We have had in this metropolis and its
vicinity, from time to time, ninny myste- j
rious eases of a dark and terrible character, 1
pointing to deeds of blood and violence, the
secret whereof bos never been revealed;
but one of the most alarming and cxtraordinary
cases of all is that of .Mrs. Captain
Brannan, who disappeared, in July last, on
Staten Island, and of whom trace or tidings i
have never been found. Some time ago, |
the case of M .ry Kogers, who disappeared !
in a similar wjy, nnd whose fate was never
publicly known, excited a great sensation. ;,
Tin* Mllll' intl H*nf
, a.w W...J . VW VIIMK lll)OIVi lUllO illlilll I |
was that she had been carried off, violated i x
and murdered. Later still came the Uuv- i (
dell murdor, around which bloody business ; (
the veil of mystery is still wrapped as in]- j ,
penetrably as ever. i *J
Tho disappearance of Mrs. lirannan, j
however, is surrounded with so many re- ' j
malleable coincidence^ a8 to render it more 1 (
startling and nioro incomprehensible than |
IIo.ro is a lady, the wife, ot a captain and (
the daughter of a coloriel of tlic aftny-?an
estimable wife and mother?-against whom ,
thejrc existed no hostility on the part of any i (
living being, and possessing a diameter ! (
I which precludes all suspicion of voluntary j ,
desertion of her family. * In tlus broad light ,
of a summer's evening she is seen to enter ! |
! tlio Staten Island ferry boat, which daily
I carries thousands of people, and which was
1 then tilled with passengers ; she is seen to j
leave the boat anU enter a carriage at the
landing at Htatcn Island, and depart for
her homo, a short distance off. There is ,
nothing in her deportment or herldncunge
(or she makes two or three inquiries of a (
haek-kceper) to indicate that she is not bent
upon a direct return to her home, in the > (
usual manner; yet, from that hour to this, !
i she is never heard of more. A gentleman i ,
is seen to enter the same carriage with her, j ,
but she docs not appear to be acquainted I
with him. No trace of that individual, j (
whoever he was, can bo bad ; and, what is j ]
stranger still, no clue can bo discovered to
| tho driver who bad charge of the carriage.
Suuh are tho facta elicited by the testi
monv. Various rumors as to her volunta!
rv departure from her home, and her an.
j pearance in this and that part of tlie coun- [
I try, liavo boon sifted by her friends, with i ,
| the assistance of two able lawyers and :i (
I strong detect ivo force, and tliey are ail pro- ,
nonneed to be untrue. ,
What conclusion remains? Alas'.only ,
one: that on the journey between the for- |
ry and her home, short as it was, and nil- (
dertaken in the broad daylight, she was (
cruelly outraged, murdered, and her remains
1 concealed, to avoid detection. We repeat, ]
there is no other solution to the mystery,
and it is rt dark and fearful one. (
But what a commentary upon the moral j j
cunuiiiuu ui mis cuy?want a reproacn to j
the police system under which it groans ,
arid suffers, aad is daily exposed to the
worst cries of the most daring criminals in i
the community! Who can lie surprised I
that midnight m lrder passes undiscovered 1
and unavenged, when each a deed as this
can be done in the open day and in a compnrativcly
frequented locality '(
If the conclusion we have, arrived nt he
correct, there were, in nil probability, two
parties to the crime?fhe niy?teri<>"is per-!
son who entered the hack after the unfortunate
lady, and the man who drove them.
Yet., not nil thn viuilniwn wliw.K tlm
j are said to huVe exercised have been able
I to discover tho identity of citlior of these
persons. In all probability, we shall hoar
I no more of this extraordinary case. The
fate of Mrs. Uranium will remain as deeply
shrouded in mystery an that of Mary

Thoffc countless ruins, of whatever date

must not judge the resource* of the ancient
land by its present depressed and deSohito
state. How often is the question askod by
eastern travellars, can these stony hills,
these deserted valleys, be indeed the land
of promise, the land flowing with milk and
honey ? Oould tbc.y ever have supported
