When forced to join the thoughtless throng, And listen to the midnight song ; When forced to mingle in the dance, Return the nod and prssing glance Of smiling fair—I do but dream Tam the thing that ers seem. What though the lip may smile at will 1 “The heart—the heart is lonely still!” Loss of Life in Great Battles, The waste of human life in the unsuccessful attack on the Malakoff and Redan appears to have been nearly as great(tho’ not quite) as in the average of the most destructive modern battles. More than dive thousand of the assailants were killed and wounded, a vast proportion, when we consider how small comparatively the storming column was. The French alone admit a loss of thirty-cight hundred men, out of an attacking force of twenty-five thousand; that is to say, every seventh man was rendered incapable, cither by death or wounds. There is, indeed,one modern siege which was more Lioody than this—not actually, however, but when the numbers engaged are compared with those who fell. We Consumption’s chee’s ne'er looks more pure And lorely, than when past all cure ; And yet that bloom, so fresh, so stall, Has lent its little aid to kill, 4 And speaks to those who watch ita Hine Of sickness, death, and suffering teo ; Though who, just viewing aught so fair, Could ever dream that death was there! And could we see the hearts of those Who haunt the crowd to drown their woes, Concealed beneath their smiles, we'd find Despair—consumption of the mind ! As sure its end—its means more slow— Its seeming health 2 feverish glew— Which throws around a fiftful light, Then dies—and leaves it doubly night. the Peninsular war. That famous Spanish fortress was invested by Wellington, at the head of twenty-two thousand men, and finally carried by storm after one of the most sanguinary assaults on record. In Then, when you see me snile and laugh, With those who pleasure’s goblet quaff, Think, though you see me drink as deep Despair may smile, but cannot weer— Nay. smile in mockery, alas! As bloom can o'er the features pass, Yet Badajoz was a small place, the fort allude to the second siege of Badajoz, in. the attack on tne great breach alone not . less than thirty-eight hundred men fell. ; Miners’ Convention. % Pursuant to notice a meeting of the miners of Nevada township was held in Abbott's Hall SikrenmertncD eens aien: Coca ees in the city of Nevada, on Saturday, November 24th, for the purpose of obtaining a reduction ny.—An interesting ceremony took place! in the price of water to lwenty-five cenis per at the Oakland Ferry .yesterday, on the! iach. occasion of the departure of A.

When forced to join the thoughtless throng, And listen to the midnight song ; When forced to mingle in the dance, Return the nod and prssing glance Of smiling fair—I do but dream Tam the thing that ers seem. What though the lip may smile at will 1 “The heart—the heart is lonely still!” Loss of Life in Great Battles, The waste of human life in the unsuccessful attack on the Malakoff and Redan appears to have been nearly as great(tho’ not quite) as in the average of the most destructive modern battles. More than dive thousand of the assailants were killed and wounded, a vast proportion, when we consider how small comparatively the storming column was. The French alone admit a loss of thirty-cight hundred men, out of an attacking force of twenty-five thousand; that is to say, every seventh man was rendered incapable, cither by death or wounds. There is, indeed,one modern siege which was more Lioody than this—not actually, however, but when the numbers engaged are compared with those who fell. We Consumption’s chee’s ne'er looks more pure And lorely, than when past all cure ; And yet that bloom, so fresh, so stall, Has lent its little aid to kill, 4 And speaks to those who watch ita Hine Of sickness, death, and suffering teo ; Though who, just viewing aught so fair, Could ever dream that death was there! And could we see the hearts of those Who haunt the crowd to drown their woes, Concealed beneath their smiles, we'd find Despair—consumption of the mind ! As sure its end—its means more slow— Its seeming health 2 feverish glew— Which throws around a fiftful light, Then dies—and leaves it doubly night. the Peninsular war. That famous Spanish fortress was invested by Wellington, at the head of twenty-two thousand men, and finally carried by storm after one of the most sanguinary assaults on record. In Then, when you see me snile and laugh, With those who pleasure’s goblet quaff, Think, though you see me drink as deep Despair may smile, but cannot weer— Nay. smile in mockery, alas! As bloom can o'er the features pass, Yet Badajoz was a small place, the fort allude to the second siege of Badajoz, in. the attack on tne great breach alone not . less than thirty-eight hundred men fell. ; Miners’ Convention. % Pursuant to notice a meeting of the miners of Nevada township was held in Abbott's Hall SikrenmertncD eens aien: Coca ees in the city of Nevada, on Saturday, November 24th, for the purpose of obtaining a reduction ny.—An interesting ceremony took place! in the price of water to lwenty-five cenis per at the Oakland Ferry .yesterday, on the! iach. occasion of the departure of A.
