LOVE I.N A PRINTING OFFICE.
I once heard aa old j mr. remark that a prin

have since experienced the truth of his observa

11 iwer of love can nevor bloom in the mid it of

It waa my fortune once to snj mm for a few
days in the village of ,.. Directly oppo-nto
the office win a pretty white cottago, with a

tcred around the window. Site was a little
blue-fyed, eaucy-looking creature, of some six
teen summers. She wa tho belle of tlie village.

it was a ncautilul summer morning, and I had
raided the wina'ow ty admit ihe cool brceza frbm

fore I perceived that the cottage winriowwaH
also hoisted, and that sweet lutlo Mary was
seated near it, busily engaged with her needle.
I worked but little that morning. My eyes con
stanliy wandered towards tiie cottago window,
where little Mary ea', and all sorts of strange
and fantastic notions wmrifd through my fancy-lig-ited
brain, and I began to think I fell a slight
touch of what the poets call love, sliding in at
tho corner of my heart.
A few day p aimed away, and chance ma le me

sweet creature she had a form that would

her in inu'o admiration, that i had never looked
upon one so exquisitely beautiful. She seetnej

We leaf n from Gen. Morse, of Natchitoches,
that au express had arrived at Han Augustine
amount of the goid aril sdver coined in the mints

statement in "Mayer's Mexico," was $'2,003,

posed to bo still greater.
Uy the same autho-ity, the wealth of the
church in Mexico, is estimated at from ninety lo.
on hundred miliums of dJtrs. This wealth

The Newark t Vrriserrontains a letter from
an officer in the Army of (ion. Taylor, in which
is related the performancej of a gallant exploit
by Gilbert Dudley, a youth of 19, attached to
the Army.
Returning tw o days ago from ono of our most
advanced pickets, whither he had been sent to
convey orders, ho eamo unexpectedly upon
two Aesican soldier?, who had, apparently, just
rowed across the river, and were refreshing
themselves in a cool shade, bavir.g placed their
mui-kets in thoughtless security against a neigh,
boring tree. Gilbert was equal to the emer
gency, he sprang to tho muskets, threw one
upon the ground, aud stepped upon it, while
vi it h the other he menaced the lives of his op
ponents. They cowered beucath his eagle
glance, and reluctantly pursued the course
which lie indicated. He carried the two mus
ketsupon his left shoulder, drew his sord as
