There's much in the world that is iloubiful, There's much wc shall ncTer understand Why Virtue should live in a roor-hcuse, And Vice on the fat of the land. For those w!:o arefreiful and peevish, This duty remains to fulfil; But try to bo honent and happy, s And let the world do as it will The poor wretch who walks upon crutches. May often be envied far more , Than he who in splendid apparel Can shut on the beggar his iloor ; He caies not for claret and sherry ; Of venison he has r.ot his fill JTct dares to be honest and fiappy, And lets the world do as it will. lie toasteth no lordly possessions, Mo livery at fable to wait; . He maketh no hollow professions To cheat his friend, coeiier or late : Ho ruins no hard-woiking trades-man, Who gets but a curse fur his bill; But tiics to be honest and happy, - And lets the world do a3 it will. He jiiins not the bowl or the wassail, lie seeks not the gambler or sot; Contentment and health are the blessings That daiiy recur to his lot; . And while in the midst of his childien Good precepts he strives to instil, He shows that he's honest and happy, And let's tho world do as il will. Oh ! who w ould then grumble at fortune, Though sorrow and toiling betide 1 The man who with iceullh is aviltian Alight be virtuous wrie it denied ! Too much may o'erbuiden and sink you, Too little oil keep you from iii; Then try to be honest and happy, And let the world do as il will. The man who whhplentg s honed, ' k alh little to ask tor his name; But he who though humble is upiighf, Shall hve in the annals ol Fame The, vicious may mock at his mem'iy, But ages will think on hnu still; .Then strive to be honest a;iu happy, ' Ami let the world do as it vi ill. V- rwEiiir wrosioi. - C unt Dif uoi ,'i.te .jmed at iane, and it is u cui ous iilUMrati.ni ul' our it marks ttiat this hero oi htorv was (i:ly in in 7-"iu car. In one sense it mav be sa-d hw was the Iwnneroi's right hand, for Na o;o.in won ln bat'ies b) his guard ai d ins arnlien , and D.ouot was the general of the artillery of u.e uaid. Phis was the ter rific weapon so tremendously vieid-d bv Drouot, ol which ihe Hashes portended the late of empires and the fall of kingdoms far more tru -y ;hau ever did tho fiery tad ol a comet. In single minded honesty, staunci. t'idejity, and unimpeachable virtue, the Count had no superior, and hut verv lew e- j q i.iis, in all tint band ol heroes who raised tl.e E.npcror to his throne of glory. I:, ins personal habits ho was most singular. H a Frenchman and a soldier, in the midst of the imperial slafl, and under .the! reign ofiTapoieon was actually a religious ! character, and did not scruple to avow the j fact. He even carried about with him a small Bible the only one, probably, that ! was ever to bo found in tho baggags of the j grand army, except that placed by Napo- J Icon in the mythological class of his travel- j ling libiarv and this it wa one of his chief delights to read. When ordered to the front, it was usually at the most critical point of the flold, and at the most hazardous moment of ihe day ; and on these occasions he is said to have always dressed himself m a certain o d coat, dismounted and ad vanced on foot in the midst of his guns, and il did Intppcntha'. throughout all his perils, he never received a wound. Few readers wiil require to be reminded how often he and his cannoniers decided the fate of a well-fought field. Those 50 or GO guns, described by eye witnesses as seeming to be actually discharged as they gallopped along, swept away the just relics of Russian obstinacy or Austrian chivalry, and terminated the carnage of the day. In the manipulation and direction of his pieces Drouot was unrivalled. Once, at the pas. sr-ge of the Elbe, in 1813, the Emperor, observing the enemy on the oposite bank called out hastily for " a hundred pieces of cannon !' The general was at his side in a moment, with the guns in position, but so impatient was the Emperor for success; that on the effect of tho fire not being so immediate as he expected, he jumped off ! his horve, look hold rf Drcu'H'g car?, and shook him sfund'y. The general bore the peratiori w ith ureal patience, and then d -tid the Emperor to place the gun better a challenge which Napoleon waived wi:h ihe laugh of a pacilied child. When re verses at length ca.:e, and the creatures ol the Emperors bounty fell off. from him on tvery side. Drouot still slood by his master, md abandoned him not. Etti omnes, ego non. Wi h our own McDonald that worthy descendent "of ihe man of Mania rt with tkrlraud nd Fatn, with Cambro me and ' irulatncourt -h awaited that last levee at Fontniublcnu, and follo tcd I,i sovereign ' to E'ba with 03 much. devotion as he had follo'ved him to Dresden. We miht Lng ; sejich that muster-roll of "littering names conqiiiscd in Ihc licred'or of the empire J before he found any so entirely worthy the pr.ide of a countryman ar.d tho respect of an i enen y us that ol Ger.eral Count Drotiot. London Times. Grand Imprest meat in Iron Munvfuc: lure The last Railroad Journal says Tin m.tcnii ery ol m. st of the fu ri:a-es f reeled within the year pist is operated by waser power; but by the recent mimduc t:oti of certain icnporunents, in which steam power has a decided advantageous thought it wiil generally be adopted i:i preferenence. At Jicl;on's furnacp, at Westp.it, Mas, steam power is employed, and, the advan tages thereof together uiih those ol ihe im provements referred m, are such that the cost of manufacture has been reduced near ly 40 per cent. A flu d is placed within the furnace chimney or funnel, and extends neatly to lite lop ; and by this flue the hoi gas and Miioke is returned ami brought down to the md ! the steam boiier faruaee, where ii pr.sj.es .through a perforated iron p atf whin il comes in contact with aiuinspt-nc air, H'hefeby a bnllunt oombut.i t produced, and ihis ll,.Ve j.assiiitj ..under tt.Tr--wf-, - ..,'. w rcqu red lor alt ti.e biiMncs of ihu lur iuee, and drives a null besides. Another improvement has been project ed by a gentleman connected with the iron business in Massachusetts, bv which this hot gas Iro n tne furnace is first passed through a series of chambers, enclosed ovens liiled with .d which is thereby perleeliy charred, the gas being afterward' parsed to the engine luniac; mixed with air and ignited, produces an intense flame. The wood is thus converted o charcoal without expense, and the pyiuligenous acid pjodnced in process, is ordinarily sullicient to pay tiie entire first cost of ihe wood; thus furnishing charcoal for the Iron fur nace free of expense. Wouldn't csiarry a Mechanic. A joung man ct.mmenced visiting a young woman, & she appeared well plfased. ! One evening he c-lled when it was quit late, which ltd the girl to enquire where he had been. 4 1 had to work to-night,' he replied 'Do you work for a living?' enquired the astonished girl. Cert liuly, replied the young rr.an ; ' I'm a mechanic My brother does'nt work, and I dislike j the name ol a mucanic, and she turned up her pretty nose. That was tho last time the mechanic vi sited the young woman. He is now h weal ihy man, and has one of the best ol women for his wife. The young lady who dis I ked the name of a mechanic, is now the wife of a miserable tool a regular vagrant about grorgshops and she, poor and mis erable girl, is obliged to take in washing in order to support herself and children. Ye who dislike the name of a mechanic, whosa brothers do nothing but loaf and dress beware how you treat young men who work-for a living. Far belter discard a well fed pauper, with all his rings, jew elry, br?zn faccdness, and pomposity, and take to your affections the calous handed intelligent and iudustrious mechanic. Thousands have bitterly regretted the fol ly, who have turned their backs on honest ,ndustry. A few years of bitter experi ence taught them a severe lesson. In this country, no man or woman shoufd be res pected, in our way of thinking, who will not work bodily or mentally, and who curl their hps with scorn when introduced to a hard working man. From the Xew Oileeans Picayune. June 25. Later from the Army of Gen. Scott. The steamship Palmetto, Capt Sinnh, arrived last rveniuj from Vera Cruz, hav in sailled thenre on thp 18h inst. She touched Tampteo on the 20lh and Brazos Santiago on the 21 inst. Although we are rot in possession of let ters from Mr Kendall, we have adviee9 up on which we place every reliance as to the movements of Ge?i Scott. An express from Pucbla, by the route of Cordova, had atrited at Vera Cruz, announcing that General Scott commenced his march upon the cny of Mexico on the 10h inst. We hear not a word more in regard to the overtures for peace aaid to have been made to Gen Seoi. That he marched on the lCili wc have no doubt. Another express bad anived at VeraCruz fnon JuLipa, which announce that all the sick had 'eft there on the 15th inst. for Perote, under a small escort. -Col. Cht'ds was to leave on the following day with all the garrison. Gen Shields would ac company him. The road between Ja'apa and Puehla 19 represented as free !iou guerilla panics of any kind. About one thousand troop left Vera Cn.z on the 17ih instant. unCer the com mand of Maj Gen Pillow, to join the army of (Jen Scott. The Spanish renegade named Li Vega, who lately repaired to V ru Cruz'tn com pany with the verncmu Col Maia fiim this cny, is represented to us as already in command ol a strong guerrilla pany. Sar. la Annaatili remains in power. Hi resignation we pc sume wast withdrawn; for ii is 111.1ma.ed that a mjruy of Con gres was anxious to rcepl it. His vdmm istration, in coasquence of Hi? feeling in Congrtss. has entirely changed its policy and thrown us elf into the arms of tne pir ros. On great section i the puros. Low ntu ton csli avetf oyT m i m o v e at e n t; the adherents of Gomez Farias and Gen. Almoute still continue their opposition to the Admiiiisiraliof. Senor Rejon, the for mer friend of Farias, is said 10 be ihe main support of Sania Anna's Administra tion, although he holds no public oflice (le is denounced as a man without princi ple, a irucklet, &c. It 19 lepresented that opinons were ne ver more divided in the capital than at pre sent. No parly seems to have decided upon what course to lake. At one time the puros 3nd lite moderados appear in clined to unite upon a dissolution of Con gress, and leave every thing in the hands oi an'.a Anna; and then again ihe puros talk of recalling the absent members of their party, and of having a w orking ma joriiy to catry their mcasuies. In the mean lime a quorum of Congress cannot often be collected. If we can give no in telligible account of the designs of parties and the Government, it it because such con fusion and anarchy never before existed in the city of Mexico, by the admis ton of all. An important financial measures of A naya's administration has been summarily abrogated by Santa Anna, in deference, as he says, to public opinion. 'Phis has led to the resignation of Senor Baranda. who was not consulted as to the repeal of the measure. Senor Lafragua was then norm nated in his place as a head ot the Slate Depaitment, but this appointment gave dis. satisfaction to the puros,. remonstrated a gainst it. The result was not known. Gen Almonte was sull in prison, nor are we able 10 learn any thing more defi nite as to the nature of offence, his trial not having yet come on. The Slate of Chihuahua voted unani mously .'or Geo Santa Anna for President. This is the only additional Stale tue vote if which is given in the paper before us The votes were to be opened on the 15tn of the present month. Our impression is that Congress will have to make ctioics be 'ween the two highest candidates, as no one will probably receive a majority of all the votes. On various occasions Con grest has displayed great respect, for Gen. Herrera, which' leads to the opinion that he will be chosen. Vie find no mention made of the meas ures taken for the defence of the capital. The papers say that Gen. Scott pretended to his troops thai they would march into Mexico 15 U instant, but that this -was a . mere boast in order to keep up the spirit!" of his men; thai he was in no condition to mote, lacking reinforcements. Letters from Pucbla to tt.e capital repre sent Gens Scott and Worth as saying that if Santa Anna has chtrge of ihe defence of the city of Mexico, they will be able to tfke it with the loss of 2 or 3 hundred men only; but that if Bravo or Valencia command, ti will cost ihem more dearly.- The RepubUcano derides this gossip, though it sounds very natural to us. The Government is urged by letters from Puebla and its vicinity 10 fall upon Scott, now he is weak, and crush htm. They say he has really but a little over 5000 men though he pretends to have 7 000 They seem 'o dread lesi Gen Tay lor should proceed to join Gen Scoit. We find in ihe Jiepublicnno of the 7tU inst. 1 long tiespttch Irom o e Secretary of ar 10 Gn Scott, dated the 30ih of April. It nforu s hi m hat that by the end of June the President suppose GenScott will nave twenty, ana Geu Taylor ten thousand men under their respective commanus. It asks (or the veiws of Geu Scott on various ques tions suggested and gives him directions hew to operate wiiu d satTeced Mexican Siates. Tne liepu licano regards this 1st ter portion as very important, pronounces thtSecretary s represemai on- as tne 11U10" her of iroops to be in l - field, utterly false. How tins letter was intercepted we are not uilormed. The s.cc s of ome of the guerrilla par ins near Veia CrZ sore duly chronicled and comfiieiiiied in the papers. The afternoon ol v e Qui inst. Santa An na r viewed at Tralpau the troops from tne iouth of Mxieu under Alarez Thl General's command had not all arrived. but 11 was expected to reach 8000 men in a few days. .-' Bragging. Heir is about as cote a specimm of bragging, which resulted in the nonplus of one of the parties, as vte have beard of late: 'I understood, Mr Jones, that you can turn any thing neater than any man in this town. , - Yes, Mr Smith, said so." "Well, Mr J01.es, 1 dont like to brag, but there is no live man on earth that can turrv a thing as well as 1 can whittle it." Poh. nonsense, Mr Smith, talk about your whiihngjwhatcan you whittle as well as 1 turn it?" "Anything, anything. Mr Jonet-. Just name the article that 1 can't whittle belter than you can turn, and I will give you a V if I don't do 11 to ihe satisfaction of all these gentleman present. " "Well. Mr Smith, suppose we take two grind stones, just for trial; you may whittle and 1 will turn." Mr Smith slid. A boot-maker in Paris has taken out a patent for the right of using brass wire for sewing the soles, which dots not admit either moisture or dust. Kittens and Infants A pretty child a cnurmmg three year old was not long ago, presvr.ted w ah the most tormented ot pels, a nursery kitten, saved from tho tioy ade that awaited the birth of its broihors and sisters. A bhorr time afterwards iho cnild's mamma auded two memoers o the family circle, in tiie s-hape of twins. On being taken into the nursery (o sec them, she g-jZd on them lor tome time, looking from one to the o her wi-h much curiosity, l'hen patting one of their plump little cheeks with her rosy finger, bhe said, "I think we will keep this one, papal" C7Humanity will direct us to be par ticularly cautious ot treating with ihe least appearance of neglect those who hav lately met with misfortunes and are tunk iti life. Such persons are apt to thick theroketves slighted, when no such thing is intended. 1 he mnids being already sore, feel the least rub very severely. . And who w uid be so cruel as to add affl etion to he wfflcied? ' Youth is the time foriinprovsjisn'. (
