I love the ladies, every oue—— The latigliing ripe l)runette—— Those dark-eyed daughters oftlie sun, \Vith tresscs black as jet. ' \Vliat ruptures in their glances glow, Rich tints their cheeks disclose, And in the little dimples there, Young sniilliiig Love repose. I love the ladies, every otie—- The bloude so soft. and fair-— \Vit.h looks so mild and languishing, And bright and golden hair; ' How lovely are their sylph-like forms, Their alabaster line, And their bluslies far more beautiful Than rose-buds bathed in dew. I love the ladies, every one——- E'eii those whose gracoless forms Are rugged as the oak that’s borne A hundred \viiitcr’s Si0l'lll-—- The young, the old, the stout, the thin, - The short as well astall, \Vidows and wives, matrons and maids O‘, yes, I love them all. I love the ladies, every one- None but a wretch would flout ’em— This world would be a lonely place ' If we were left without ’eni— But lighted by a woman’s smile, Away all gloom is driven, And the most humble home appears Almost it little heaven. I love the ladies, every one— ’l‘hey’re angels all, God bless ’ein I And what can greater pleasure give, Than to comfort and caress ’em? I call myselfa temperance man, _ So I’ll drink their health in water- Here's to the mot.hei's, one all, And every mother’s daughter. MIDNIGHT ON PALO ALTO. BY JOHN K. HOLMES. ’Ti's.iiiidnight, and the starry train Is gazing from you peaceful skies Upon this sad, remembered plain, \Vl1erc many a fallen soldier lies 3 The cannon’s roar has died away- The living from the scene liavo fled, But fancy whispers, “ \Vl1ere are they \Vliose names are found among the dead 7" The father, in his strength of years,—— The husband, with his war-like eye-— The boy who mocked his mother's tears Have rushed upon this plain to die.‘ They heard the syrene voice of fame, They fled from scenes they long had known To win that proud and daring nniiie The wiirrior always loves to own I ’Tis midnight, and the starry‘ train Is gazing from the peaceful skies; But who can citll to life again The stricken dust that round us lies? Oh ! here the hearts may come and learn The hearts that love the smiles of peace; From here the great and good may turn To hail the day when wars shall cease. M].SCELLANY- Beware of Kt'ss2'ng.——A curious case says the Boston Transcript, has been be- fore the Police Court. It appears that on Christmas night a Mr. James B. Bostock kissed the daughter of his landlady, Mrs. Powers, whose boarding house is at No. 18 Bowdoin street. The circumstances excited very little attention at the moment but some days afterwards it appeared to give great offence-; and on the night 0 the 1st of January, Mr. Bostock and his wife were ejected from the house of Mrs. P. by police oflicers whipple, Croclcer and Smith. He has now brought a suit against the whole party for assault. Ten hours of the trial, as we learn from the Post, have been devoted to the question of the kiss, what sort of a kiss it was, and whether it was on the cheek or on the neck. Blindman’s buff, it appears, was going on when the kiss was given, a cir- ciimstance which would seem to palliate Mr. Bostock’s offence. Among the inter- esting facts disclosed in the examination, was the circumstance, that on one occa- lsion Mr. B. came down and took a pie "\/'\/N /'\r'\/\.t'~.I\/\t\./\/\/\/\J' \/\.t\r\r\/‘ TRIAL OF PRESIDENT, POLK, , FOR MAKIi\’G ‘WAR ON MEXICO. Counsel for the People,-—.Ioii:v Q. ADAMS. Counsel foi-the Pl'lSOllC1',--JOHN TYLER. The following amusing jeu cI‘espr2'£ from the Danvers, (Mass.) Courierwill cxcite the risibles of every reader, be he whig or democratic. Robert Perl Su.-orn.——Hav,e had some- thing to do with managing intercourse between mlllons. The laws of nations are very elastic on the" subject of just causes Of \\‘flI‘- There are various causes which justify war. It is considered justi- fiable to make war on weak nations that would be unjustifiable if the opposing party was strong. Boundaries are a fruit- ful cause of war. A plausible pretext ought to be found or invented befoye go- ing to war, even with a weak nation. and semi-barbarous people to get their territory, or make them receive opium, rain or gunpowder. ficient reason to make war on a barbarous live on rice or by linntiiig. and gunpowder, by which they will destroy themselves. war with each other, to decide which is the most Christian nation, or to determine whether a certain Italian gentleman at Rome is the head of the church. It is justifiable for a nation to euiploy a press- gang to steal men to serve on board ships of war. Cross c:rami'7m1.—National debt of Great Britain very large. Witness had much trouble in managing it. Amountsto eight hundred millions of pounds sterling. Its annual interest amounts to two hundred millions of dollars. This debt was con- tracted by reason of wars with foreign countries. Is very oppressive to the people. _ Jo/in Russell.-‘—Witness is now Premier in the Governinentof Great Britain. I-lave heard the evidence of the last witness, and agree with him on the ‘subject of wars with weak nations. The great national debt of Great Britain was caused by her wars. lts interest is a perpetual tax on the laboring classes of the country. If universal suffrage prevailed there, as in the United States, the debt would at once he repudiated. Jlfrs. l"'z'ctorz'a Guelph C'oburg,sworn.—' [This witness was an English lady, of gen- teel carriage and modest appearance, and was attended by her husband, Mr. Albert Coburg, and several small children, all under nine years of age. Witness gave her testimony with much fluency and without embarrassment, having been ac- customed to speaking in public. As her evidence was a mere echo of that of the preceding witnesses, we omit it. ./77'!/zur, Duke of H"elling/on, called.- This was it tall, venerable looking individ- uiil, with a military bearing, who stated that he had some knowledge in political and military affairs. Upon being asked the usual question, ‘What were just can- ses of quarrel between nations?’ he re- plied as follows: It is necessary and use- ful to make war to get rid ofa redundant population. Every nation has a few unnu- al thousands of its lower orders, whom it is expedient to kill off by war. \Vhen not engaged in fighting with a civilized people, it is necessary to make war on a savage people to keep the soldiery in practice. . Cross-que.m'oned.—Soldiers ought not to be troubled by religious scruples. A reli- giousman has no business in camp. Do not believe in the final prevalence of pacific principles. Have a better opinion of man- kind. Such a state of things would render the world unfit for :1 gentleman and a soldier. . Louis Philippe sworn.—This was ii French gentleman of large stature and lfrom the closet. Miss Henrietta Powers, ltold him that pie was not allowed for; ‘luncheon to boarders, but crackers could ; be had at the side-board, and “ motlierl don’: allowitlie boarders to have pie.” lf= ;this momentous ‘case should be brought’ ‘to a close to-day, we will stop the'press' ;l.0 announce it. The Female Dress of the Present 1)(1-y.-—; VVe are inclined to think that the female attire of the present day is, upon the lwhole in as favorable a state as the most. iveliement advocates for what is called na-. ture and simplicity could desire. It is it costume in which they can dress quickly, walk ninibly, eat plentifully, stoop easily, loll gracefully, and in short perform all the doties of life without let or hindrance.- yThe head is left to its natural size, the skin to its native purity, the waist at its roper region, the heels at their real level. The dress is calculated to bring out the natural beauties of the person, and each of them has, as far as we see, fair play. Flounces area nice question. We like them when they wave and flow, as in a l no mass, but looks like a receeding angel or dissolving view; but we do not like them in it rich material, where they flop, or in ii stiff one, where they break the flowing lines of the petitcoat, and throw light and shade where you do ‘not expect them. In short we like the gown, that can do without flounces, as Josephine li- ked a face that could do without whiskers but inzcither case it ‘must be a good ‘one. very light material—muslin or gause, or, berage—whr.=.n ii lady has no outline, andlcode in that country; portly mien. He speaks the English lan. gouge fluently with only it slight French accent. Witness lives in France. French- men love war and military glory. Thinks ,8f'IiJll‘S of Virginia; consider Virginia it It_ is justifiable to make war on an ignorantl It is considered still; people because they are dark colored, and. Christian nu-l tions make war on these tribes to teach: them civilization and Christianity. They: do this by first introducing cannon balls, and grape-shot to destroy them, or rum’ -to the will of the people. Christian nations sometimes, it lawful to make w fuse to trade with you on your own terms. Sometimes two strong nations unite to blockade the port of a weaker one, to force the latter to trade with them. It is_ also lawful for a strong nation to take possession of islands in the ocean inhabit- ed by natives partly civilized and ‘Chris- tianized. to force upon them ardent spirits and the vices of civilized communities, as these things promote trade. It is like- wise lawful to make war upon a people that wear turbans, sit cross-legged, and refuse to eat pork. _ Cros's-e:i:am2'nccl.-Think it right to re- pel invasion. Cannot blame the Mexicans for resistance when a foreign army invade ‘their territory and destroy their people. I should do the same thing under similar icircumstances. Wars have éntailed a heavy debt on the French nation. Russia, and know something of the war It is there ‘consid- ered lawful to make war in all cases sta- .ted by former witnesses. It is also con- sidered right for three strong nations to conquer a fourth, and partition it among the conquerors. If resistance is made, made ‘exiles of Siberia.’ It is proper for a nation with extensive territory to make war on its neighbor to get more territory- Quari.‘erl_i/ Review.

Think the Mexicans ought to be liiiinblerl. Have always urged the carrying on the war ‘with vigor,’ ‘greater _vigor,’ ‘more vigor,’ ‘increased vigor.’ renewed vigor.’ Mr. Tyler now stated that he wished to call a few witnesses to testify to the prisoner's former good cliuracter. George Jlf. Dal/us.— Coiisidered the pris oncr an upright man and good democrat. Has known him three years. C'ross-q'uesti'onei1.—Am Vice-President underthe prisoner; we were both appoint ——I mean nominated, by the Baltimore Convention. Feel bound to ohoy the res- olutions of that Convention, in preference Buc/uimzn.—-Am Secretary of State. Have known the prisoner ten years. Have always considered him a man of integrity and an obliging gen- tleman. Never thought he was quarrel- some. C1'oss-éxamined.—\Vas appointed to of- fice by the prisoner. Think the prisoner passed as a tariff man in Pennsylvania when he was voted for at the last election for President. “fitness is opposed to the doctrines of the VVilmot proviso. Robert J. Wa1kcr.——Have known the prisoner twelve years, and always esteem- ed him a kind-liearted and honorable man. Was appointed by him to office, and directed to make report on ti tariff. Cross-e.rz,mz2'ncd.—Expenses of the war very l_arge—continued drain on the treas- ury. Have to try various expedicnts to raise the wind. \Vould like to have the war stopif it could be done and save the credit of the prisoner. If it does not, it will be hard to save the credit of the country. If it should stop to-morroiv, it will make a national debt of two btindred millions of dollars. Witness thinks it weil to make different rates of duty on linseed and flaxseed. Don’t think the. national debt we are now creating will be paid by this generation. The people \\'llO are to pay it are not yet born. Witness came from Mississippi, and was in favor of repudiation in that State. is not ready to say that it is expedient at the present time to repudiate the debt of the United States. More money will be wanted to go to Mexico, if the war continues. If the debt should be very large, it will then be ample time enough to think of re- pudiation Thomas H. Benton.—Hiive known the prisoner fourteen years, and thinks he is a good sort ofa man. Have good reason to think well of him as I once had the offer of a lieutenant general’s commission from him. Cross-questz'oned.—Huve no doubt the war might have been avoided. Always thought the order to cross the Neuces precipitate and rash. This war might al- so have been better carried on. Jolm C. Cal/ioun.——Had an acquaintance with the prisoner eight or nine years.-— Call hi'in very clever. Don't like -to give any opinion as to his capacity as it states- man. He was considered at Washington a man of small parts. C'ross-eramz'rz,pd.—This Mexico affair has been miserably managed. The order to Gen. Taylor to cross the Nueces was a most insane project. Don’t know who advised the measure. I advised against It. _ William L. J‘/1arc_i/.—Am Secretary of Vt’ar. Have been intimately acquainted with him the last three years.

Witness was a can- didate for nomination at the Baltimore‘ convention. My anti-Texas opinions dc- feated my nomination —-.1 salutary warning to all candidates for office not to express opinions. Am afraid that Texas has cost us a great deal riiot'e than it is worth. The ovidenice on behalf of the prisoner‘ now closedftind the cause was ably argued by Mr. Tyler for the prisoner, and by Mr. Adams for the people. The jury was ‘then charged by the court, and conducted to the jury room by the sheriff. We re- gret that owing to the illness of our re- porter, we are unable to present our read- ers with the closing arguments of'coun- sel, or the charge to the jury; and unless tli_e learned gentlemen will themselves pre- pare their several articles for publication, they must be lost to the public. After deliberating‘ twenty-six hours, without rc- fresliment, the jury came in, and by their foreman, Mr. Virginia, declared tli-at they were unable to agree upon a verdict, upon which they were discharged. _ It is understood that eleven were for’ conviction and and one for acquittal on'_ the ground of insanity. the jury complain much of the obstinacy of the individual ulio stood out, whose name is Mr. S. Carolina. He complains equally loud at the obstinacy of the other eleven, and says it is not the first time that they have refused to listen to reason. “ There were twenty-eight jurors called at the commencement of the trial, of whom‘ about ten or twelve were peremptorily challenged for cause, they having express-‘ ed an opinion. Mr. Adams on behalf of the people, moved that a jury be empannelled to try» the prisoner‘ again on the same indictment. This was opposed by the prisoner’s coun- sel, on the ground _of the absence _of ii material witness, and friend of the pris- oner, one Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. The court then granted a motion for ii continuance of the cause to a future day. The court adjourned, the prisoner being first remiiiided to jail. EXCEL. Every young man, starting in life, should write one resolution upon his heart, and that is, ‘‘I will excel.” We care not what his business may be, whether it is professional, scientific, mechanical, agri- cultural, manufacturing, or any depart- ment of labor,—-every man should strive to excel. _ g _ The mere wish for excellence, ‘the am- bition to surpass others, is possessed by all, except the varies: drones and boobies. But wish and ambition alone will not ef- fect the object. He who ~cxcels must stud}/for it. He who sets out determining to excel rarely fails. At the bidding of energy aid appears to come, which the slotliful look upon with surprise,and term the success of the work of blind but ca- pricious Fortune. They are unwilling to admit that it is the achievement of the man himsel that thus pushes him forward, for it would be a censure upon their own idle- ness. ln every department of labor or of the professions, the man that excels is the one who has plenty to do, whether others are idle or not. Excellence ever commands employment. Find a first rate clerk, :1 quick, ready journeyman mechanic, :1 skil- ful artisan, or active laborer long out of employ, if you can, providing they are‘ honest and industrious men; or, find an able advocate at the bar, an eloquent di- vine, a physician of reputation, out of cli- ents, out ofa station, or out of patients! The thing never has been-—never will be. Then young man, letpyour resolution forrried to EXCEL. Live for it day by day, and as sure as you are worthy’, so sure you will rank high among your fellows. ljtj? A good man—a real Christian‘-seh dom sees a ‘defect in his neighbor. A pure lake reflects the beautiful sky, the clouds and the overhanging trees; "but when it is riled it reflects nothing that is pure. A bad man—-it real scoundrel— seldom sees a good trait in his neighbor. Au imperfect glass refiects nothing cor- rectly, but shows its own deficiency. A perfect mirror refiects nothing but bright". and pure images. Fra7zlrlz'n.—Franklin‘ was an observing, and sensible man, and his conclusion seldom incorrect. He said, “A news- paper and a Bible in every house, ii good school in every district-—al.l studied and appreciated as me-rited—are the principle supporters of virt:ii'e', morality and civil If the people presume to on trial"; think ii is a good democrat-; if pabeny.” The majority of_
