THE HEART'S GUESTS.
When age has cast its shadows
O'er life's declining way,
When evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring day,
an ?u_it 1
JL lieu OilUll \VU fill til lit puiiuui
On the dim and shadowy past,
In the heart's silent chamber
The guests will gather fast;
Guests that in youth we cherished
Shall come to us once more,
And we shall hold communion
As in the days before.
They may be dark and sombre,
They may be bright and fair,
But the heart will have its chamber
And the guests will gather there.
IIow shall it be, my sisters,
Who shall hn our hnart's ornnsts?
How shall it be my brothers,
When life's shadow on us rests?
Shall we not mid the silence
Hear voices sweet and low,
Speak the old familiar language,
The words of long ago ?
Shall we not see dear faces
Sweet smiling as of old ;
Till the mists of that lone chamber
Are sunset clouds of old'?
When age has cast its shadows
O'er life's declining way,
And evening twilight gathers
Round our retiring.
From the Southern Patriot.
We do not wonder that the memorable
battle of Palo Alto, .and
Resaca de la Palma, have excited
the utmost attention, and a hisrh
degree of admiration, abroad. We
anticipated most of the encomiums
which have been bestowed on our
troops for their daring and heroic
actions on the eight and ninth of
May, We felt confident that a
nation like England, one of the
distinguishing characteristics of
whose people is bravery, would
appreciate and admire the ieats of
prowess performed by our gallant
men. We felt confident too that
- i - _i _/? n m 1
tne aesp&icnes 01 \jren. xayior,
would commend themselves to the
favor of all. The singularly modest
tone in which they were written,
this good sense and excellent
judgement which characterized
and distinguished them, all have
received at the hands of the English,
a degree of appreciation honorable
to them, and flattering to
us.
Some of our exchange papers
have been informed by passengers
who came over in the Britannia,
tnat tne details 01 ootn oatties
were read in Englad, with a degree
of interest approaching to enthusiasm
; and in confirmation of
what we have written above we
append the following article from
the London Morning chronicle.
" Nil admirari.?Such is the
motto of Great Britain in respect
to the great deeds of Americ i.
She views them coldly, quietly,
and without either wonder or
emotion. She is as little surprised
at their occurrence as the mathe-;
matician is astounded at the accuracy
of his own calculations. She
sees her way both to them and
through them, and would have
been more surprised had they turned
otherwise than they have
done.
" The feats on the 1? io Grande
have been gallant and successful.

No man in England suggests even
a second interpretation of them,
nor cares about refining upon
their natural significations. We
admit, without reservation, that,
they exhibit some important facts,
and that to some extent, viz : the
trojiscendant merits of the Ame_!
^ 1 a. I'll r
ncan army, me strategic skiii oi
the officers, the impetuous energy
of the soldiers, the considerate
forbearance of the sutlers. For
any exception that we take to his
. conduct, General Taylor may
deserve a triumph, and Captain
Ringgold the honors of an ovation.
They have fought well, and kept
up a character which was before
high enough to be independent of
either bravado or exa ggeration.
More than that, they have just
done what we expected, and what
we foretold they would do. Who
so dear to us as the man who fulfils
our prophecies 1

not dishonored. Let those who
think lightly of American courage
attribute the sucesses in question
to the weakness of their enemy,

conquerors. We reject the alternative.
America won the fight
through her own inherent heroism.
The cause was gained by the
strength of the one rather than by
the weakness of the other.
" Such is the fact?a fact probably
admitted through the whole
lengiit and breadth of Great Britain
; by the Gael and Welshman,
as well as the consanguineous
Anglo-Saxon."
St. Juan D'Ulloa.?In reference
to the statement published
yesterday, the N. Y. Journal of
Commerce remarks as follows :?
" In our opinion, it would ?e all
but a meracle if the American
licet now in the Gulf, even if th^y
were all concentrated, (which
they cannot be without int'-rmitting
the blockade of the other
ports,) should capture the fortress
ol D'Ulloa, strengthened as it now
is at every point. 1 ne wnoie
squadron does not mount as many
guns as the fortress; and would
have to present wooden walls
against walls of stone. No; if
Ulloa is to be bombarded, (and
we don't see why it should be at
present,) let at least three ships of
the line, ot the heaviest metal,
join the squadron before the attempt
is made. Otherwise we
shall expect a failure. Our tara
naturally think they can do as
much as the French, with an equal
number of guns : and so they can,
and more besides. But four times
< 1 i. i* 1 it
ine numoer 01 guns empioyea ny
ilie French in 1838, would not capture
the fortess now, as easily as
it was then captured, if at all.
A Washington letter in the New
York journai of Commerce, speaking
of the Indians at present in
Washington says ::?
On Wednesday they visited for
the first time, the Capitol, remained
for a short time in the Galleries
of the Senate and House of Representatives,
beheld with wonder
the paintings and statuary, and
more than everything besides were
delighted with the colored prints
in the Library from Mr. Catlin's
portraits and scenes of Indian Life,
As they gazed upon the ttuualo
hunts, upon the groups of wild
horses and wolves, and upon the
various Indian warriors in their
own costumes, and aimed the
scenes of their own distant homes,
they could not restrain their emotions,
and for the first time men,
women, and even the youths present,
fell into an animated conver
sation, ^pointing out to each other
what most interested them in the
different, groups,) and for the moment
seemed restored to the wild
prairies or hills of Texas. They
^were much pleased, not only with
the large paintings in the otunda,
but also with the portraits of General
Jackson, the President, and
other distinguished persons by
Mr. Healy. Among them is an
admirable picture of General Houston
himself, at which they laugh<
d heartily.
American Newspapers at Matamoras.?A
weekly paper has been
commenced at Matamoras b> H.
ivici^eoa, entitled " uepuoiic ol
the Rio Grande and Frend of the
People." The leading articles are
printed both in English and Spanish.
The purpose is to convince
the people of Tamaulipas. Coahulia,
New Leon and Chihuahua, of
the futility of resisting American
arms and to throw upon ihe Administration
of Paredes the responsibility
of the war. A separation
of the Departments nam d
above from the Central Government
of Mexico, is the distinct aim
of this new paper.
A prospectus for another new
paper has been issued at Matarnoras
by Messrs. Bangs <? Lewis,
II I - I fl * ? ?
uaiieu me ** kio grande Herald."
The Bibi<e in Italy,?Italy is
becoming more and more accessible
to evangelical efforts. The
Bibe can now be circulated, and
the Grand Duke of Tuscany has re
cently consented to the publication
of the Scriptures in his domain.
I positively never knew a man
ill the country too poor to take a
newspaper ; yet many respectable
persons read no papers but that
they borrow ; as 1 speak generally,
1 hope to ollend no one. If I
do, the greater the necessity to
speak on. livery man is able
conveniently to take a paper.
How many who think themselves
too poor to take a paper, pay as
much daily for trifles.
To CLEANSE THE TbETII AND IMPROVE
THIS UitEATii.?To four ounces
of fresh prepared water, add one
drachm of Peruvian Bark, and
wash the teeth with this water
morning and evening, before
hrfiakf'ast und air. a i* vimnop li

on the teeth and remove the offensive
smell arising from those that
are decayed.
Velvet Cakes.?To one quart
of flour put a pint, of warm milk,
and a gill of y?*ast; stir it woll;
then set it in a warm place to
rise lor two Hours ; then work
into it two large tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, or beef dripping ;
Hour your h mds well, and make
it in small cakes ; rub a bit of butter

Among all r.lie advertised remedies of the

of sale and give so much general satisfaction,
as Dr Hull's celebrated Pills. Wherever
they have been introduced, all tonics

and preparations of every character, designed
for this disease, have been discarded,

Pills, and never knew them to fail curing
the chills and fever in a single instance.

obstinate rnsn of chills iiml of
months standing with only half a box of
Hull's Pills ; and also says his little
daughter was cured of the chills and fever
of 6 months standing with the remainder
of the same box.
