CONG NOT TO EARTH.
Giing not to earth—there’s nothing there,
However loved—however fair,'
Bat on i's features still must wear'
Tho impress of mortality.
The voyager on the boundless deep,
Within his barque may smile or sleep;
But bear him on, he will not weep
To leaTO ils wild uncertainty.
Cling' not to earth—as well we may
Trust Asia’s serpent’s wanton play ;
That glitters only to bstray,
1 To death—-or else to misery.
Dream not of friendship—there may be,
A word, a smile, a grasp for thee—.
But wait the hour of need and see—
But wonder not their fallacy;
Think not of beauty—like the rest,
It bears a lustre on the crest—7-
But short the timo ere stands confest
- It* falsehood—or its frailty.
Then cling.no inoje—so fondly on
The flowers of earth around thee strown—
They’ll do awhile to sport upon
But not to love so fervently.

Col. Chockett’s Speech.—The Balti
more Visitor contains a full report of the
speech made by Col. Cockett, at the Typo-
graphical supper, a few evenings since,
which appears to bo strongly characteris
tic of the man. Some injustice has perhaps
been done Crockett, in the work lately pnb.
iished, purporting to be sketches of his life
and adventures, the faithfulness of which the
Col. positively denies. According to the Vis
itor, he is a quiet man, . giving his opinion
when asked, reckless of the consequences—
enjoys a good laugh, though it be at his own
expense—prides' himmself on his humble or-
igin, loves the hunt—smiles at danger—cares
nothing for the opinions of the world, as long
as liis conscience tells him he’s “ on the right
track.” In person, he is rather above the me
dium height, about 50 years of age—his fca
turcs are expressive, and we may Say hand-
some, particularly when he smiles ; he is

tlcment—I cleared up grounds and had toler
able craps—plenty of bear hunts and all that
kind of thing, ut which you know I’m not
slow. One day I went to the nearest settle
ment with a horse load of skins, and I was
told that 1 was appointed magistratc-I couldn’t
believe if—but my friend snow’d me the first
newspaper I’d ever see’d, and there it was
sure enough.. Gentlemen it’s gospel truth, I
could jist write “ David Crockett,” and pret-
ty tough work at that ; so I was ill a pretty
fix—-but I’U tell you, I had a pretty cute con
stable—he filled. out the writs and I signed
’em. He’s mow a member of the legislator
—but I’ve always kept “ ahead’* of him—and
intend to. Gentlemen—I’m a creature of
chance; I never asked any office.—it’s aU
ways been thrown in thy way, for Td rather
be politically damned than hypocritically immor
talized—its as true as gospel. After a While
they brought me out for the legislator, and I
walked in without flinching. My friend Mr.
D—*—one day said to me,' “ well Colonel—
we are about to have a* change in tho Judici
ary.” “ Very likely,” says I, walking awriy
to avoid Conversation, for the fact is,I did’iit
know what judiciary meant. I went to the
Legisl ature twice—and was likewise elected
Colonel by a haiWsome vote. After a while
they put me up for Congress without my ask
ing any favors—it’s gospel truth, ‘gentlemen,

there is a dryness in his anecdotes, and a
blunt good humor which make them amusing
and even instructive. In a speech on~ politi
cal subjects he is far from being eloquent, yet
he displays no'small portion of good common
sense, an ingredient found wanting in the or
atory of many tin aspirant for political hon
ors—when Crockett speaks he is sure to
come to the point—it is no matter lion often
he leaves the track.
The Col. spoke as follows":—Gentlemen
—you want me to tell you some anecdotes
about myself—but gentlemen* you are the
men what sets up types and gives information
to the world of what’s going on : I know a
good many things has been said about me—
half on ’em is not true.’ You 'see

Gentlemen, its gospel truth, when I first
went to the legislatur, I was requested to*,
hand a.bill, Lord knows what it was about, I
did’ut.- They called 0:1 me for a speech,
and so I got up, and after turning and twisting

and he wanted to know if there was uny yet.
So gentlemen, there is something in here,
(pointing to his head) the members of the op
posite side has been beating away a long
while to find it out, here it is.”
The Colonel spun out his speech to a con
siderable, extent—alluding to the mrinsures of
the present administration,- his cause for for-'
saking President Jackson, the Indian bill,
the Tariff, tho United States Bank; and his
friend-Major Jack Downing, whom lie “consiih
; ere thehonestest poiiticianof the present day.” -
On the whole; it was an interesting.'display of
backwoods oratory, and we might have been
more minute, and perhaps, more faithful ia
our report, had he not so frequently digress
ed from the thread of his discourse. He was
heartily,apniuuded by all parties, including the
venerable Mr. Niles, whom he rubbed a lit
tle on the Tari ff question.

Domestic Peace.—The cheerfulness and
security of domestic peace is. too often placed
in peril, by the growing greatness of the
head of tho family. The wife and mother of
Napoleon grieved over his advancement, and
saw, with pain 'and gloomy - forboding, - his
strides towards power and fame.; with what
just reason, the event too lamentably proved.
An amiable woman should net. trust herself to
one enamoured of tjie world’s applause,or pos
sessed oLtoo many facilities for obtaining it.
All which diverts his attention from the real
ities and sober duties of life, undermines the
happiness of his fireside. He who abandons
himself to .the acquirements of celebDt^-, must
in a great degree, aud with fow exceptions,
be selfish, just;as he who amasses wealth
must, in matly instances, be parsimonious.
