THE KANGEE'S RUSE
DECIMATION OV TIIE MIER  PRISONERB.
On the evening of tin* 2rith nf Deetimber, 1S42, a small army, or more properly a com¬ pany of Tesantroop.'^, orosseil the Rio Grande antl moved to atUck tlie Mexican town of Mier ; but viewed iu every rational Hglit, ami eveu to the wildest imagination, their hope of success seemed utterly forlorn. Their lingular commander, Oeneral Stimmerville, with one half the invading force, despairing of the enterprise, had abandoned it a fow year.s bofore, and the remainder cho.^e a new leader, determined not to retreat ingloriously without striking a blow. The bold re.solve was therefore desperation, for they had nei¬ ther ordnance nor baggage wagons, uor pro¬ visions—nothing but their rilles aud their unconquerable courage of hearts which knew no fear.
At the distauce of a short le.ague stood the ancient town of Mier, so stroug iu itself, with almost every houso a fortress of stub¬ born stone, andthe citizens the bravest boast of the frontier; while in front of the suburbs lay the camp of Geueral Canales, Ampudia, and the chivalrous La Vega, with a powerful artillery and two thousaud soldiers, the elite of the Mexican army.
The aun set in a huge bauk of black aud stormy clouds, and a hoarse peal of far off thunder muttered ominously as the last Texan landed on the hostile shore. The great majority of the visages looked stern and gloomy as the lempestuons face of that cold December sky, and every hand clutched its trusty rifle with nerves of iron and awful energy; while a low yot terrible murmur ran along the column—" Vengeance on the traitor Canales, whose falsehoods have brought us here!"
In the angry, rushing ranks, however, there was (Tme youth of some twenty sum¬ mers, who betrayed a very different feeling from that which actuated the mass ot the crowd. He laughed, jested, and gave way to the greatest emulations of mirth, as if merely going for the amusement of a frolic, until his two older brothers rebuked his merry madness.
But Jack Phelps only answered in his usual vein—" What would you have me to do ? Are we not bound for a battlo instead of a funeral ? And I see no need of a long face nnlesa it be to frighten the enemy!"
Indeed, the youug man looked the personi¬ fication and ideal of the highest personal prowess, with his tall, handsome form, springy aud powerful as that of a tiger, and his beau¬ tiful, fair, almost feminine features, beaming with radiant smiles aud bearing the impress of reckless bravery, while his keen blue eye twinkled with gay humor, and overflowed with sparkling, irrepressible animation, aud his rich yellow locks waved round his line shoulders like the golden sungod. The two elder brothers, Jame.s and William Phelps, both presented a noble appearance ; and the three, with the famous ranger, Capt. Lewis marched at the head of the a Ivancing col¬ umn.
Very soon tbe deepest darkness descended to the earth, and everything became invisible save when the fitful flashes of lightning lifted lip the pall of sable clouds, but to drop it the next instant, .and thus render the gloom more intense.
"Captain  Lewis, lend  me your sword,''
said Jack Phelps, in a serious voice.
" For what purpose ?'» inquired  the other.
" I waut to cut open the fog,  so that we
can see our way!" answered the wild jester
with his merry musical laugh.
" Hush :"said tho ofiicer, " we must he near the enemy's line."
" Scarcely had he .^^pokeu, wlten a brilliant sheet of crimson flame hurst a few paces before them, and the deafeniug roar of a whole platoon of musketry reverberated on the still night air. The Texans uttered a yell wild enough to wake the dead—" Ven¬ geance to the traitor, Canales!" and rushed to meet their foes.
After a brief struggle they drove in the picket guards, aud, without a moment's pause, the three hundred heroes flew to do battle against the three thousand. At the instant the storm broke forth iu all its fury, and the Mexican cannon and the dread artil¬ lery of heaven opened together. Mingled grapeshot, bullets and hailstones rattled among the chapparel in fearful rivalry as if man and nature had joined iu mortal combat, while the shrieks of the wounded and moans of the dying, could he heard ouly at rare in¬ tervals, amidst the ferocious ahouts of the warriors and the mor« tremendous peals of appalliug thunder. Sad, was the scene of horror nearly, if not unequalled in tbe bloody annals of the world.
Ampudia hurled mass after mass of ii^f;^]. try against the little baud of dreadful adveu. turera, thmking to crush them by the more weight of numbers; but, firm and unyiyid- ing as a solid rock in the ocean, they resisted and rolled back every billow in broken waves. Canales charged upon them with five hun¬ dred horse ; but the rifle and revolver proved too muoh for the Mexican lance as well as bayonet; and still slowly, steadily, and ever onward, the Texans forced their way into the Euburbs of Mier, and about midnight effected their lodgment in several of the strongest atone houses, when the contest ceaaed.
The following dawn came bright and heau¬ tifal from the dew dropping chambers of the golden orient, and the sunny air teemed with smiles and blushes, aa if no tears had ever utRined the blue eyeg of heaven, and no blood
[ had ever crimsoned the green boaom of the I glorious earth.
But with the first flash of the burning sun¬ beams Ampudia and Canales renewed the terrors of battle. The Mexican artillery, ar¬ ranged in suitable position during the previ¬ ous darkness, opened with round shot on the buildings where the rangers had taken ref¬ uge, and continued to thunder for hours ; but the deadly aim of the American rifle picked the cannoneers off one by one, until at last every gun was deserted, and the enemy had recourse to the protecting parapets of the flat house tops in the neighborhood.
The officers urged on hy alternate threats and promises, column after column to the tremendous strife; yet still they melted away like snow beneath a burning suu, at the fierce fire of the Texan sharp-shooter si until the Mexican foroe withdrew from the fatal range of the unerring rifles, leaving more thau five hundred dead iu the streets aud on the stone roofs ofthe houses.
Ampudia then, with the customary craft of his couutrymen, resorted to stratagem, aud seut a white flag with Geu, La Vegai utgingthe Texans to capitulate, and offering highly favorable terms ; aud as it was known that a large additional force had already ar¬ rived in the vicinity, the rangers accepted the proposition and laid dowu. their arms.
Nevertheless, every article of the solemn agreement, hy which the prisoners had been iuduced to surrender, was violated in a few days, and a powerful gu,ird inarched them off for the city of Mexico. Their sufferings and privations during the journey almoat surpass belief, and many of theui suuk un¬ der the crnshing burden of melancholy hun¬ ger aud fatigue, and were butchered by the way.
But still tho youth, Jack Phelp.'S, wlio had especially distinguished iiimself <luring the battle and bitterly opposed the capitulation, maintaining his habitual Row of spirits, and laughed aud jested as merrily as ever. How¬ ever beneath theglittering crust of thia levity, he concealed a deep and daring design, aud having communicated the desperate plan to the otber captives, they suddenly assaulted aud overpowered their snned guard, and al¬ though nearly twice as uumerons as them- t^elves, while they were entirely without wea' pons.
They theu started to retreat homeward; but the whole country arose around them, and meeting the troop of lancers commanded by tbeir traitor, Canales, th»^y were all again made prisoners.
For this attempt to escape, the Mexican governmeut ordered tbe bloody sentence of decimation, which was executed on the sum¬ mit of a lofty mouutain between Monterey aud Saltillo.
A little beforo suuset, two huudred Texans were marched into line to draw lots for death. The cruel Canales, with tho smile of a demoni counted out into hia hat a number of beaus equal to that of the captives, every tenth bean being black, while the rest were white- He then shook the hat thoroughly, aud car¬ ried it along the line, for each man to thrust his fingers beneath the cover of a handker¬ chief, aud by the award of impartial chance, extract his own doom.
The suspense and horror of the scene de¬ fied all powers of pictorial description. Fea¬ tures grew livid that never paled in the most perilous crisis of burniug battle, and brave nerves shook like leaves iu the wind, which would not have quivered before the fiery hai^ of a hundred pieces of artillery. The strange uncertainty of this novel contest with the viewless fates produced general aud fearful agitation. Many of those who drew the color of death, uttered involuntary moans, while some screamed wildly, as if tliey al¬ ready felt the cold lead in their hearts.
At length the ominous hat approached the three brothers, who stood near the centre of the room. Jack Phelps put iu his hand and remarked in laughing tones :—'Captain Lewis I'll bet you a hundred dollars that I draw a black bean!'
'Done!' cried the officer in a careless voice. 'I have won it!' exclaimed the youth in accents of blended joy and triumph, as he held up the hue of death, and added—*Suoh is always my luck 1'—but whether he refer¬ red to the black bean, or the result of the wager, tbe horrified spectators could not well determine.
William also extracted the unfortunate color, while Captain Lewis and the third brother drew the bean of safety.
Immediately, the twenty doomed prisoners were placed in a line with two hundred load¬ ed muskets aimed at their hearts, while the last red rays of tho setting sun refiected from the glittering snowy tops of the distant mountains, illustrated the awful scene. Tha atmosphere, though chilly, was clear aud calm, and ribbons of fleecy clouds floated in the west, like wings ofa rainbow, while some hardy birds sung sweetly among tbe neigh¬ boring trees, naked and leavoless as they were.
AU at once Jack Phelps called out eagerly: ' Captain Lewis, I'll bet you another hundred that the rascals cannot hit me!'
5,But even the reckless ranger, who had never before been known to refuse a wager answered with an icy shudder—' Good Hea¬ vens, Jack ! how can you jest at such a mo¬ ment V The ruthless Canales nowproclaimed —' Prisoners say your prayers, for you die iu three minutes !'
Some of them turued their eyes upward, and muttered with pale lips their last peti¬ tions ; some of them gave their friends mournful commissions for their familie.s far away; while others shouted fierce curses in the faces of their foes ; .and a few cried sim¬ ply a fond farewell to their more fortunate comrades.
At length Canales sounded the final signal —"Fire?" Aloud roar reverberated among the mountains, aud when the smoke cleared ofi", nothing was seen of the doomed b.iud hut a score of bodies stretched upon the bloody earth.
The order was immediately given to march a mile further iuto the valley, before encamping for the night, while a small party of soldiers remained to bury the corpses.
But when one of these advanced to strip tho form of young Phelp.^, the ra'nger bouud¬ ed to his feet, knocked over tho astonished Mexican, sprang upon his horse, and effected his escape.
It seems that at the word " fire" he had thrown him.self forward on the crouud but so brief an instant before the others fell as not to attract notice, and thus he avoided the commou fate. The utmost exertions were made for his recapture, but without success.
Three mouths afterwards he reached San Antonio, in company with a very beautiful Mexican girl, to whom he was chiefly indebt¬ ed for his final deliverance from the pursuit of his enemies.
Solentiflo Agrioultare
There was a time when this phrase was a by-wopd of scorn. Farmers wanted no new fangled notions, but were content to sow and reap as their fathers had done before thero. But, fortunately for mankind, this prejudice is passing away. Leibig has demonstrated, that for every grain of wheat that is grown, a certain quantity of potash is taken up from tho soil, and that, until this lost ingredient ia restored, either by manuring or by letting the ground lie fallow, the capacity of that particular field to raise wheat is so far forth diminished. He has shown also that what is true of wheat is true also of rye, corn, iu- dian com, grasses, and all other vegetable products, the ingredient taken up only being altered. What the great agricultural chem¬ ist has demonstrated in the laboratory, en¬ terprising farmera in Scotland and Kngland have proved practically in the field. The laws which govern the growth of plants have been analyzed and exemplified as successful aa those whioh control the circulation of tbe blood, the uses of respiration, or the consti¬ tution of air. To he successful in raising a good crop is now almost as much a matter of known cause and effect as the driving of a locomotive or the lighting of a city.
Yet, in spite of this scientifio agriculture is still greatly neglected. Even one of its first laws, that no more land should be farm- thau can be thoronghly cultivated, is con¬ stantly neglected. Three agriculturists out of every four, in this State of Pennsylvania alone, where generally cultivation is so thorough remunerative, undertake far more aud than they can properly manage. An agricultural contemporary, iu view of this fact, estimate.=i that an improved economy in tbia matter would add to the net receipts of the farm, annuaUy, an increase of one-six¬ teenth over tho present yield of grains, or enough to pay all the taxes now collected yearly on the land, which amount, as is well knowu, to the round sum of two millions of dollars. To each particular farmer it seems but a small leak ; yet how vast is the ag¬ gregate! The difference between what might be done aud what is doue, merely iu this one matter, would, in thirty years, make any far¬ mer rich. It is a difference that, in a year o^ drought, would avert a scarcity. It is a dif ference that, at all time, would materially coutrihute towards giving us the agricultural market of tbe world, by giving us first au enormous surplus to sell.

Old Bells i.v Omo,—In the Court House at Lancaster, Ohio, there hangs a bell, and " thereby hangs a tale." By a Spanish in¬ scription on its side it appears that it was cast early in the 15th century—wo forget the precise date.
It once belongeil to a convent in Spain, aud tho sounds which uow summon the dull disputes of law, and perhaps of equity, the people of a uew town, in a uew world, not known wheu they first rang, often called the nuns at morniug .and evening hours to matins aud vespers. The story, as tradition hath it, ruus somewhat after this fashion:
Many years ago, wheu the banditti, who infested some parts of Spain, were so fierce and powerful, this convent was sacked by them, and the bell being among tho booty was transferred to a pirate ship. The ring¬ ing aud the swinging which had hitherto apoken iu clear and musical tones across the hill and valley, only of devotion and prayer, was now changed to the " clashing and clang¬ or" which struck upou tbe ears of wild and desperate men, and surged sadly over the tumultuous sea. How often it summoned the lawless crew to deeds of pillage and mur¬ der may not bo said. The piratical ves.sel in its turn fell into the hands of pursuing jus¬ tice, and was brought a captive to the port of BaUimore.

She gives no aftont, but offers to fight any mau who gives her one.

SnE Makes Home Happy.—" She always makea home happj," was tbe expressive sen¬ tence wkicli a friend recently appended to an obituary notice.
It ia woman's highest and most peculiar prerogative, whether mother, daughter, sis¬ ter or wife, to make home happy. The hus¬ band who is blessed with suu-h a wife, has a prize and a home above all price. The chil¬ dren of such a mother will rise up and cail her blessed. The benedictions of the poor and needy are largely bestowed upon her for her benificent acts. Such a woman, whether maiden, or wife and mother, never thinks of the question of " Woman's Rights," popular¬ ly ao called, but with shame and humilia¬ tion. Such women are fully pursuaded that if they would make the world happier, they must   first   mako  home  happy.    And

beautiful as the mo3t romantic bell could de¬ sire, though its uses can no longer be deemed poetical.
In Tiffin there is also a bell whicli swung from the turret of a castle on the Rhine, so that, almost withiu speaking distance of each other, these bells toll forth their memories of the past, and it would not be difficult to imagine that upon still nights and lovely .summer mornings, they Itold converse togeth¬ er over their singular histories.
The Death of as Old Man.—Tread lightly aa you enter the abode of death; aspiritworn and weary with lime and earth's sorrow and care, is passing from its clay tenement to the abodes of the white-winged attendants, in the sphere of eternal light and glory.    It has pas¬ sed ; heardyounotthe golden strain of angel¬ ic song whicli burst from the vaulted arch of heaven?   His spirit is at rest.   Affliction and sorrow, turmoil and strife for him arenoipore- The frosts of eighty winters were upon his .snowy head.    He had stood in the ranks of the army, battling for freedom and repulsing an invading foe; he had stood near the lielm of state, if not guiding, yet advising and  coun¬ selling those who kept her clear of the fearful breakers.    He had reared up a large family who went forth to the beckoning of fortune to foreign lands to win wealth or a name of glory- They have all long, long ago filled their earthly missions, and one by one laid beneath the sod.    He alono staid on, for kis mission of charity and love was not yet completed. He died;  but no kind hand pillowed his drooping head; no son, no daughter or wife held the shrunken palm while the aged vete¬ ran was sinking into the sleep ofdeath!   He was among strangers: strange, for they were not of his generation ; they saw him sink as it were, into a gentle slumher; they closed the sunken eyes and wrapped him in the winding- sheet of white, and followed him to the grave. Nothing more ?   No tear, no emotion when they laid him beside his early partner, whose sleep had heen undisturbed for forty years. There he sleeps;   aud the throng    who followed him there have passed out into the world again to live, enjoy and pass quietly in¬ to the shaded night.    Such is mankind.
surveyors, &c. &c.—ofHces whose duties re¬ quire much absence.
The highest praise that oan posibly be be¬ stowed on womau, ia, tliat "She always makes home happy." Who that visits these occasional oases along life's chequered course does not deeply regret that the number of such homes is not greatly augmented in view of such blessed fruits of domestic joy and peace and happiness on earth—making the family on earth a sweet foretaste of the future condition of the pure in heart.

ToDou IT TnRDDGH !—It wonld be well if this spirit were more common among all clas¬ ses, oldandyoung. Here is aschool-boy with a hard lesson: don't be discouraged, little fel¬ low " tough it through." Here is a young clerk in a store, he has to rise early, wait and tend all the day, and be a servant to the whole establishment: never mind, "tongh it through," be faithful and diligent, and you will soon be in better circumstances, and have some to open shop and wait on you. The mechanic often gets hold of a hard job, which he has half a mind to throw up. But take good ad¬ vice, "tough it throngh;" doit thoronghly and faithfully, it will be no loss to you in the end. A mau in buaineaa often gets into a spot from whicli he can see no light—no land ahead aud he is just ready to givenp to despondency and despair. But we advise him "to try and tough, it through.'* Light will appear when you least expect it; if faithful, and honest, and persevering you will flually escape the billows aud reach tho laud.
^^The Cocoy queen beetle is about one inch and a quarter iu length, and, what is wonderful to relatt*, she carries by her side, juat above her waist, two brilliaut lamps, which she lights up at pleaure with the solar phosphorus furnished her by nature. These little lamps do not flash and glimmer like that of the fire fly, but give as steady a light as the gas-light, exhibiting two perfect spheres, as large as a minute pearl, which, afford light enough in the darkest night to enable one to read small print by them. On carrying her into a dark closet in the day¬ time, she immediately illuminates her lamps; and immediately entinguishes them on oom- iQg again Into the light.
Illegible   Maxoscript. "What  guessers
printers must he ! A New York editor, in descanting upon the guess-at-half-of-it style of writing in which many articles are sent to he printed, gives the following amusing specimen. A piece of poetry before him, written in what, at a reasonable distance' seemed to he intelligible, when examined a a little closer appeared to present the follow¬ ing:
Alone tosa'd rolls a tear by Moues
A many things wo mourn by day ; Tom end the shouting Indian chorus. And seethe their limbs at play. Knowing, however, that his correspondent was not a fool, he more carefully examined it; and he guesses that the following version is nearer the author's intention : I love to stroll at early morn. Among tho new mown bay ; To mark the sprouting Indian corn. And see the lambs at play,

How TO Kill Caterpillahs.—A farmer in Massachusetts aays that he has found the use of molasses very effectual iu destroying caterpillars; that when they are in the nest he has smeared it over with molasses, and that none have ever escaped from it; that they cannot travel over a limb where the mo¬ lasses has touched, and that it does not iu any way injure the tree ; aud that upon the whole he likes it better than lighted torches, gunpowder, .soap-suds, whale oil, soap, or even the thumb and finger I
A BEMARKABLE SwiMMER.—"A Singular wa¬ ger," aays the Saint Public, of Lyons, ' has just been decided here. One ofthe best swim¬ mers of the city made a bet that he would cross the Rhone on his back, carrying on his stom¬ ach a small table, on which should be placed two bottles full of wine, six eggs ouaplate and and four glasses. The fall of any one of these objeots would involve the loss of the wager. The swimmer, however, crossed the river without displacing one of the articles, and won the bet."
