Oglethorpe House, Jail. m3® PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY MORNING, IN THE CITY OF BRUNSWICK, GLYNN COUNTY, GEORGIA POETRY. THE SLEEPING CHILD. BY LEIGH HUNT. A brook went dancing on its way, From bank to valley leaping, And by its sunny margin lay A lovely infant sleeping. The murmur of the purling stream Broke not the spell that bound him, Like music breathing, in his dream, A lullaby around him. What happy dreams, fair child, are given, To cast their sunshine o’er thee ? What cord unites thy soul to heaven, What visions glide before thee ? For wandering smiles of cloudless mirth O'er thy glad features beaming, Say, not a thought—a form of earth Alloys thine hour of dreaming ' Mayhap, afar on unseen wings, Thy sinless spirit soaring, Now hears the burst from golden springs, Where angels are adoring ; And with the pure seraphic throng, Around their maker praising, Thy joyous heart may join the song Ten thousand tongues are raising ! Sleep lovely babe ! —for time’s cold touch Shall make these visions wither; Youth, and the dreams which charm so much, Shall fade and fly together. Then sleep ! while sleep is pure and mild, Ere earth!}' ties grow stronger, When thou shalt be no more a child, And dream of heaven no longer. Wise E L L A Y Y . A SCENE IN HAVANA. It was in the latter end of the month of December, 183-,that my buisness obliged me to embark in the brig Havana, for the 1 port of the same name on the Island of Cuba. With the exception of having one or two of our light spars carried away, and our steward washed overboard—during; what the sailors call a “cat squall”—we | arrived safely at our destined haven, and after a vexatious detention of some little time were permitted, by the “high digni taries of the city,” to land. At the close of a pleasant, but rather sultry day, having been busily employed, and feeling fatigued thereby, I entered one of the old princely cases for which this place is distinguished. Ali the costly parian tables which were arranged about the room, were filled when I entered. Some of the occupants were drinking, smoking, playing at cards and dice, read ing the late papers and conversing aloud, which, with various orders given in Span ish and French, and the bustling movement of the numerous waiters, who with their white aprons and unintelligible conversa tion among themselves, added not a little to the excitement of the scene. I was a bout retiring when a table at the far end of the room was vacated by a party of gen tlemen, and ordering the waiter to bring me a few cigars and a cup of strong coffee, I took up ati evening paper, and amidst graceful wreaths of smoke which ascended from inv “Havana,” was in a short time lost in speculations upon the refined sub jects of cotton, sugar and tobacco. The hour was growing late—most of the tables were vacant—throwing my cloak over my shoulders and casting a quarter doubloon on the table, I was about to make my exit, when my atten tion was suddenly arrested by the angry and vehement talking of three gentlemen, who at that moment entered. Thinking at first they were all Spaniards, 1 was about passing on when an imperfect ac quaintance which the younger man dis played with the Spanish tongue caused me to pause and view him attentively. He was not more than two or three and twen ty years old; his figure was slight but of the most symmetrical proportions; his eyes were of an uncommon brilliance, black and sparkling, and be being at the time under great excitement, they were fearful to look upon. Holding his hat lor the purpose of cooling his heated brow, his no ble forehead was brought to view, over which the short dark curls hung with a nat ural grace. His companions, with both of whom he appeared to be at variance, vvere both ath letic men; and from their peculiar dress and certain provincialism of which in their excited humor they were guilty, proclaim ed them to my practised ear, to be natives of old Spain. ‘Enongh has been said, Seignor,’ ex claimed the young man, to the tallest and most gentlemanly looking stranger. ‘ln refusing to give you immediate satisfaction, I acted from motives which you can neither understand nor appreciate; but the base and ungentlemunly language in which you have expressed yourself; words which would have disgraced a highwayman among his companions, rather than add to the reputation of a descendant of one of the oldest families in old Castile—has in duced me to change mv resolution: and BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 26,1838. now, seignor, although being a stranger and not possessing a friend in the city to whom I can apply in this emergence, vet I am prepared to be on the ground at the time, which your own second may appoint. He shall make all the necessary arrange ments—trusting in your houor, that no thing shall be done unfairly. Being much prepossessed with the conduct and appear ance of the young stranger, and knowing that the proposition would give his adver sary a great advantage if accepted, I ad vanced, and gently taking him aside, re spectfully ofiered him my services—which, he not wishing to embroil a stranger in a quarrel of his own, would not for some time consent; but discovering during our conversation that he was my own country man and an American, 1 would listen to his objections no longer, so expressing a good deal of gratitude for my kindness, as be termed it, lie again advanced towards his former company. ‘ Seignor,’ he calm ly exclamed, “our contest will now be rath er more equal. I have found a friend, and propose that, instead of morning’s gray mists, tliis very night decide our question. We will bribe the guard and pass outside the wall. In vain I endeavored to dissuade him from this startling proposition; and his op-j ponent being the challenged party, not, of course, object. Having secretly procured pistol#, we snilled from the case. It was a beautiful night—the pale full moon, alternately ob scured by light fleecy clouds, or shining out in the full refulgence of its beauty, causing the objects around to assume a dreamy and speculative appearance—the green and lofty trees which surround the city—the shipping at anchor in the mag nificent bay—the tall spires of the numer ous cathedral, seen dimly in the distance, all appeared to bear a sombre and un earthly aspect. With some trifling excuse, and a few dollars to appease the tender conscience of the sentinel, we were permitted to leave the city. On our way to the more seclud ed parts of the suburbs, I.a Grand, which I found to he the strangers name, and who was of French extractions recounted to me the circumstance which brought about the affair, upon which we were then engaged. It appears that he had only ar rived that morning from New Orleans; his object, was the discovery and reclamation, if possible, of a long absent and wayward brother—who, from some information, he had received from a friend in New Orleans, was supposed to be at present in the city. Thinking that some of the splendid gam bling houses were the most likely place to find him, he played a little in each. In one, he had met the tall Spaniard, his adversary—they were playing at the table —some misunderstanding occurred be tween them in relation to the cards— thinking himself insulted, the Spaniard, after some words had passed—present ed him his card. Remembering his pur pose in visiting Havana, he stated to the gentleman’s friends that peculiar business claimed his sole attention, and Imaged to have the meeting deferred for one week, at the end of which time they should assuredly hear from him. So saying he left the house. The Spaniard, mistaking his nature, followed with his friends and overtook him, as he was entering the case in which I met him. He concluded by giving me some little instructions in rela tion to bis afl’airs should he fall—which he considered more than like, as ho had been out of practice for some length of time. We had now arrived at the proper sta- ! tion—after a little conversation with my 1 brother second, our men, with pistols in their hands, were stationed at the distance ' of ten pawes. I was to give the word. ‘All ready,’ was the reply. ‘One—two—three—four.’ The Spaniard’s ball whizzed past the ■ head of La Grand just slightly clipping his ear. As the word was given, I looked ; towards my friend—his pistol, which he had not discharged, was held motionless by his side. His face was of the appear ance of the dead—his eye was listless— the clatnv dew stood upon his forehead. I approached just in time to secure him in my extended arms—he had swooned with difficulty we restored him. The first words he uttered explained all—“My brother—my dear, long lost brother!” he exclaimed—“it is he!” It appeared that on our arrival at the j selected spot, the supposed Spaniard had I removed his cloak and hat. On his fore head a deep and singular formed scar had .been discovered. It was that which led to his recognition. In their boyhood days he had himself accidently inflicted the wound upon his brother, and his life, in consequence, being for some time des paired of. The circumstance made an abiding im pression on his mind. In the former meetings the brother had retained his ■ cloak and hat, that in order to render his i disguise complete he hod studied the dia -1 lect ol Castile, and assumed the name of [one of the oldest families | They advanced. I shall never forget that meeting. I have seen the greetings of long absent friends—l have seen the mother tremulously press her lovely i daughter to her bosom, lately escaped from | the grasp of destruction. I have seen the | father’s manly cheek suffused with ten derness, and his eye beam with delight as he welcomed his prodigal son, once again to his fireside: these have 1 seen, these may j time obiierate. The circumstance of the ; case; the situation of the midnight hour, , all, all, forbid that I should ever forget the j scene|in Havana. | _ I Anecdotes of Rev. Zabdiel Adams. j— He had attended a funeral one after | noon and was following the corpse in the ; rear of the grave yard. All of a sudden the (procession came to a stand. After a con siderable pause, Mr. Adams got impatient,. ! and walked to the bier to know the cause (thereof. The Pall-bearers informed him j that a sheriff from Leominster had attached the body for debt. This practice was le i gal at this period. “Attached the body?” exclaimed Mr. A. thumping bis cane I down with vehemence. “Move on,” said ! lie, “and bury the man. I have made a | prayer at a funeral, and? somebody shall |be buried. If the sheriff objects, take j | him up and bury him.” The bier was | raised without delay—the procession | moved on, and the sheriff thought best ;to molest them no further, or in vulgar | parlance, made himself scarce. A parish ioner brought a child to him to be baptis ed. The old parson leaned forward and I asked the name. ‘lchabod,’ says he. Now Mr. A. had a strong prejudice against this name. “Poh, poll,” says he, “John j you mean. John, I baptise thee in the name,” &o. One Sabbath afternoon, his 1 people were expecting a stranger to (preach, whom they were all anxious to ! hear, and a much more numerous con | gregntion than usual had assembled. The ! stranger did not come, arid of course tho people were disappointed. Mr. Adams 1 found himself obliged to officiate, and in | the course of his devotional exercises, lie j spoke to this effect: “\Ve beseech thee, ,0 Lord, for this people, who have coine lup with itching ears to the Sanctuary, (that their severe affliction may he sancti j fled to them for their moral and spiritual good, and that the humble efforts of thy servant, may be, through thy grace, in some measure effectual to their edifica tion,” &c. A parishioner, one of those who did i not sit down and count the cost, under-1 took to build a house, and invited his j friends and neighbors to have a frolic with him in digging the celier. After the j work was finished, Mr. Adams happened | to he passing by, and stopping, addressed : him tints: “Mr. Ritter; you have had a j frolic and digged your cellar. Yon had | better have another frolic and fill it up j again. Had he heeded the olu man’s ad vice he would have escaped the misery of pursuit from hungry creditors, and the | necessity of resort to a more humble dwelling. A neighboring minister—a mild inoffen sive mail —with whom he was about to , exchange said to him, knowing the pecu-1 liar bluntness of liis character, “You will find some panes of glass broken in the j pulpit window’, and possibly you may suf-| fer from the cold. The cushion too is in ! a bad condition, hut I beg of you not to say J any thing to my people on the subject. “They are poor," &.c. “O, no !O, no!” says .Mr. Adams. But ere he left home, lie tilled a bag with rags and took it with J him. —When he had been in the pulpit a ; short time, feeling somewhat incommoded j by tlm too free circulation of air, he de- j iiberately took from the bag a handful or j j two of rags and stuffed them into a win- j dow. Towards the close of his discourse,; ; which was more or less upon the duties | of a people towards their clergyman, he j ; became very animated and purposely 1 brought down both fists with a tremen dous force upon the pulpit cushion. The feathers flew in all directions, and the | cushion was pretty much used up. He instantly checked the current of his ithought and simply exclaiming, “Why,! j how these feathers fly 1" proceeded. He ; had fulfilled his promise of not addressing j the society on the subject, but hail ! taught them a lesson not to be misunder i stood. On the next Sabbath the win dow and cushion were found in excellent repair.—[Christian Register. Law.

The invention of | steam was a mere circumstance in compar son—electro-magnetism, even if it is ev er brought to such perfection as to assist i in turning a wind-mill in a gale, would be * a minor consideration—but to the story.

On a late occasion, while sailing along ■quietly under the banks of a bayou with his “critters” harnessed in abreast, he ! was seen by a hunter, who sung out: | “Isay, there, drop your dug out astern land give me a chance to plug one of : them varmints.” “ Don’t shoot this way—take care. I don’t you see I’m after them ?” said the | owner, as the backwoodsman levelled his rifle. j “ ! see you’re after ’em, and you’ll see | a ball follerin on the same trail in less [than two minutes.

Look at the har ness, there, just on the top of the water. They are hitched to the canoe, and I am on a little jaunt out hack to look at and enter some lands.” “ Well, I declare!” said the old hunter, “ if that don’t beat all the doins I’ve heer’d on mv way in the thick settlements. 1 l reckon you understand animal magnetism, ■ as they call it, a few.” j “1 understand training alligators.” ! “Well,you can pass —hope you’ll have | a pleasant excursion.” The man now stirred up his team, and I was soon under way at a rate which j would leave a common high pressure (steamboat out of sight in no time.— [N. ! O. Picayuue. A Cat Case in Chancery. In the Vice-Chancellor’s Court, on Saturday week. Mr. Bcthell appeared in support of a petition presented by residuary legatees claiming under the will of a maiden lady named Katherine Burfoot, praying to have certain sums of stock transferred into the name of the Accountant General to the credit of the cause. Among the numerous bequests contained in the will of the testa trix, was an annuity ofTlO, secured on a sum ofstock, “to provide a suitable income for the life of a favorite tom-cat, named Blucher.”—(Laughter.) The dividends had been regularly appropriated from time to time by the trustees to tho maintenance and support of the annuitant until the peri od of his death, which occurred a few days ago. The annuity, therefore, having fallen in,the present petition sought to have the stock transferred. His honor inquir ed, what evidence thelearned counsel had to offer to the court of the annuitant’s death?—(A laugh.) Mr. Betliell said a cer tificate of the burial of the deceased, which was the usual evidence required by the court, could not be produced: but. he trust ed, under the peculiar circumstances of the case, his honor would consider an af fidavit of the fact by a disinterested party, sufficient evidence that the annuitant was dead. The Regiserar (Mr. Colville) sug gested that the affidavit would not justify court in making the order, inasmuch ,as it only deposed to the fact of a single death, whereas a cat was proverbially j known to have nine lives.—(Laughter.) It was also a very nice question, wheth :er the language of the will did not create Ia tenancy in tail. The next kin of the i intestate were also said to he extremely j numerous, and it was not alleged that any lone of them had been personally served | with the petition—(Laughter.) Mr. Jacob thought, that the court ought to proceed, to adjudicate with extreme caution on a. cause supported by such slender evidence, ! and before the authorities had been looked 'into. He remembered a case before Sir [John Leach, which was all-fours with the present —(A laugh.) The Vice-Chancellor felt the weight of the first objection taken by the Regiserar; but observed, that the cat, having once died, must be held for ever civilitcr mortuue, and not entitled to greater privileges than a Christian.—(Much, laughter.)

A member elect (of the lower chamber of the Legislature of this State was last year persuaded by some wags of the neighborhood that if he did not reach the State House, at tea o'* clock on the day of assembly, he coubf not he sworn and he would lose his seat He immediately mounted with hunting frock, rifle and bowie knife, and spurred till he got to the door of the State House, where he Inched his nag. A crowd were in the chamber of the lower house on the ground floor walking about with their hats on, smoking-cigars. These he passed, ran up stairs in the Senate chamber, set his rifle against the wall and bawled out, “ strangers, whars the man what swarsme in?” —at the same time taking out his credentials. ‘Walk this way,' said the clerk who was at that moment lighting a real Principe and he was sworn without enquiry. When the teller came to count noses he found there was a Senator too many present. This mistake was soon discovered and the huntsman was informed that he did not belong there. Fool who! with your corn bread, he roared. “You can’t flunk this child no how you can fix it.

After this admirable harangue he put his bowie knife between his teeth aad took up his rifle with, “Come here old Suke and stand by me,” at the same time presented it at the chairman who however had seen such people. After some exposi tions the man was persuaded that he be longed to the lower chamber, upon which he sheathed his bowie knife flung his gun on his shoulder and with a profound con gee remarked—‘Gentlemen, I beg your pardon, but if I didn't think that ar lower room teas the groggery may Ibe shot.
