ABSCONDED from Waverley Plantation,
Camdqp County, on the 16th day of July
last, LARKIN, DICK, and CATO. Larkin
is a stout Mulatto fellow, about 28 years of ago,
5 feet 6 to 9 inches high—he has a scar on his
right cheek, also some marks of small pox
about his face, particularly on his nose, also a
large scar from an axe on his foot, near the
great toe. Larkn has rather a feeble voice for
a man of his stature. Cato is a black fellow,
an African by birth, he is a stout, square built
fellow, about 4 feet 4 to 6 inches high—has
the mark of his tribe on his breast, he is like
wise ruptured, and has a very large mouth.
Dick is a small black, well set fellow, also an
African by birth, with a round face and down
cast look, easily confused when interrogated;
there is also a singular appearance about his
mouth when alarmed. The above three fel
lows were bought of the estate of Jno. H. Mo
rel, in March 1836, and formerly lived at the
Cottonham Plantation, Bryan Cos. They are
also well acquainted in and about Savannah.

POETRY.
, [For the Brunswick Advocate.]
A FRAGMENT.
It was the hour of midnight; and within
A chamber burned a solitary lamp,
Shedding its light upon a scene of woe
And desolation; while the pale cold light
Os the wan moon fell dimly on the floor,
Its rays commingling with its brighter beams,
Making the scene more dreary; upon a couch
Clothed in the white habiliments of death,
Which seemed a very mockery to the heart
Os the lone watcher in that silent hour, —
Contrasting with the gloomy darkness of her
breast,
There lay, in the last dreamless sleep, a form
Which breathed but yesterday the breath of
life.
The last faint throbbing of the pulse was o'er,
And the closed eyes were sleeping with decay;
The lips which oft gave utterance to the
thoughts,
Which thronged within the chambers of the
brain
Os him who slumbered, opened now no more;
Death's fearful fiat was upon them all.
Beside him knelt, clad in the garb of sorrow,
A female form—her eyes were dim with watch- .
in 2-
And grief was pictured on her pallid cheek,
Down which flowed freely sorrow's hallowed
tear;
She knelt in prayer—and from her heart arose
A lervent supplication to her God,
That he would look in mercy on the one
Who lay before her and receive his spirit;
Short period was it since his bridal hour,
When love had yielded to his heart delight,
And hope had lighted with its brilliant ray
The vista of his after years. When all
The dreams which blessed him were of happi
ness—
With one fond heart to share his weal or woe;
Death blighted all his visions in their bloom
And hushed to rest the passions of his soul,
And she, who was as yet a blooming bride,
Rich in the treasures of mutual love,
Wag doomed in youth to wear tho widow's
weeds,
And mourn the loss of him who wag the sun
Os her existence—and sorrow met her,
As in the early spring time of the year,
A wintry blast assails some blooming flower,
And stamps i(s beauties with the hues of woe;
But in that moment, as she knelt in prayer,
Beside the cold form of the one she loved,
And asked for mercy for the sleeper's soul
At the Almighty’s hands; may He who ever
Looks down with pity on the heart where grief
Hath reared its throne amid the blighted
wreck
Os hopes and happiness,—impart a ray
Os comfort and of gladness to her spirit,
That she may bear with fortitude the stroke
That severs in the spring time of their lives
Two hearts united in the bonds of lovs,
And shield her pathway with protecting arm
Amid the ills she yet may suffer, as
She goes alone upon her pilgrimage.
Brunswick, May 1839. W. B. R.
MIS CELLANY.
Bf. it ever so humble there’s no
place like Home. —We think the annals
of prisons will hardly furnish a parallel to
the following facts, for which we are in
debted to a correspondent:—
About the year 1820, James Osborne,
of Sherman, in this county, was convicted
upon a charge for assault and battery, and
sentenced to pay a small fine and cost. —
The precise amount of the whole we do
not recollect, but it was quite inconsider
able. The amount not being paid, he
was committed to the jail in Danbury,
where he remained eighteen years. As
the law has stood during that period, he
could be discharged from his imprison
ment, only upon either paying the fine and
cost, or giving his note for the amount.—
This he ever steadily refused to do. The
judges of the County Court, the sheriffs,
and state’s attornies have all endeavored to
get rid of him, and to persuade him to ex
ecute the note, for without the note, neith
er one nor all of them had any authority
to release him. But a’’ has been in vain
and he has remained a tenant of the prison.
During the session of the legislature in
May last, a representation of these facts
was made to that body, and a resolution
passed ordering him to be forthwith releas
ed unconditionally. Even then he refus
ed to leave the jail apd was forcibly turn
ed out. He returned to his native place,
but friends and acquaintances, with only
a few exceptions, had disappeared. Some
had removed, and others were no longer
among the living; and he found there places
occupied by another generation of men.
He was a stranger in the land of his fath
ers, and sighed for his former habitation
within the walls of the prison. He wan
dered about for a few months, and in Oc
tober last returned to the jail in Danbury
and sought admission. The jailer receiv
ed him and there he now is, occupying
one of the cells of the jail, and paying
the keeper two dollars per week for his
entertainment.—[Norwalk Gazette.
| London Eating House—Anecdote—-
While upon the Jeremy Diddler subject,!
j it may not be amiss to mention an amusing
circumstance which took place in an eat
ing-house in town. A poor Frenchman
(it was in the winter) entered one merely
for the purpose of warming himself at the
fire; he was in too great distress to think
of any indulgence in the good things there
smoking in profusion, save such as might
be inhaled by his olfactory nerve. While
engaged in rubbing his half-starved, bony
bands before a good fire, the master of the
bouse came up, and said—
“ Wont you take something?”
‘‘l tank you.sare,’’ was the reply.
“What will you take?”
“What you please?”
“We have some very nice roast turkey i
and sausages; will you like that?”
“I lank you, I sail like him vere mooch.” j
“Sit down here, and I will bring it you.” j
The Frenchman was accordingly usher- j
ed into a box, and the turkey and dressings
placed before him. Os whatever lie was!
asked to partake, he partook. He ate j
bountifully, and washed it down with some!
good wine. Poor fellow! he had not l
known such a meal before for many a long 1
day. The proprietor thought he had a
i good customer; his mortification and dis
! appointment were extreme, when, on pre
senting his bill, the Frenchman said, j
“1 have no money, sure.”
“No money?”
“No.”
“Then what the devil did you come in
to my house, and order such a dinner for?” j
“Pardon, you mistake; I came here to j
warm myself—you come to me and ask!
me if I will take nothing; I say ‘I tank j
you;’ you say ‘What will you take?’ I re
spond ‘What you please;’ you bring me dc |
turkey, de sausage, de tart, de puding, dc j
cheese, and de wine; I no ask you for them, |
you ask me will I take, and I can no re-:
fuse.
The master of the house, who was
something of a humorist, and who was al- ;
so struck with the Frenchman’s gaunt 1
and poverty stricken figure, suffered him to
depart. But great was his astonishment
seeing, a short time afterwards, another
Frenchman enter, who, upon being asked
what he would take, likewise replied,
“What you please.” “Oh, oh,” exclaim
ed the landlord, “I forgave the other be
cause he was an original; but you, fellow,
are a mere copyist, I shall kick you into
the street,” which he did accordingly. It
appeared that the poor premier French
man had met an acquaintance and told him
of his adventure at the eating house, the
poor starved acquaintance hastened to the
spot already feasting in imagination on de
licacies innumerable, and little dreaming
of the unpleasant denouement which the
cruel Fates had in reserve for him.
The Origin of confining Jurors from
Meat and Drink. —The Gothic nations
were famous of old, in Europe, for the
quantities of food and drink which they
consumed. The ancients in England,
were remarkable for their hearty meals.
Gluttony and drunkenness were so very
common, that those vices were not thought
disgraceful; and Tactitus represents the
former as capable of being as easily over
come by strong drink as by arms. In
temperance was so general and habitual,
that no one was thought to be fit for se
rious business after dinner; and under this
persuasion it was enacted in the laws,
that judges should hear and determine
causes fasting; and not eifter dinner.
An Italian author, in his “Antiquities,”
plainly affirms that this regulation was
framed for the purpose of avoiding the
unsouud decrees consequent upon intox
ication; and Dr. Gilbert Stuart, very pa
tiently and ingeniously observes, in his
“Historical Dissertation concerning the
Antiquary of the British Constitution,”
that from the propensity of the older Bri
tains to indulge excessively in eating and
drinking has proceeded the restriction up
on jurors and jurymen, to refrain from
meat and drink, and to be even held in
custody, until they had agreed upon their
verdict.
Not long since, the school committee
of a certain New England city, discovered
that one of the masters they employed,
spent as many hours, each day, in making
candle-boxes, as he spent in school; —or,
as he might possibly have stated the case,
he worked six hours a day on his own
wood, and six hours on, theirs. This be
ing discovered, the committee summoned
the master before them for solemn admo
nition. After being arraigned, and hearing
his indictment, and being expeeted to
plead guilty and promise amendment, he
replied to the following effect. “Gentle
men, it is an old saying, that like begets
■ like. The smallness of your hearts begets
j the smallness of my salary, and the lean
i,,ess of your souls begets the leanness of
!my bones. If I spent all my time in at-
I tempting to fill the knowledge-boxes of
| your children, without making candle-box
jes for myself, my soul would not have the
| means of keeping its earthly box together
| six mouths longer.”
“If we cannot alter things
Why then we’ll change their names sir.”
In days of yore when drinking flip was
l fashionable mode of dissipation, a wor-'
thy old gentleman came near losing his
life by its excessive use. While danger
thus stared him in the face he uttered a
most solemn vow that if he recovered, be
never would taste another drop of flip.
Health returned, and with it his former
appetite. Self-denial coold not long main
tain the supremacy. “Cuff,” said lie one
day to a favorite and favored slave, “bring
me a mug of beer.” “Yes massa.” “Put
in a little old Jamaica, Cuff.” "Yes mas
sa.” “Now drop in some sugar.” “Yes
massa.” “Cuff, set it down on the hearth
and stick the hot end of the andiron in
it.” Cuff paused a little. “Massa, mo
thought you swear you drink no more
flip.” “This is not flip Cuff; you may
call it warm sweetened beer with a little
rum in it.” “Yes massa, me berry tick
led to —but—but—” “But what, you
black rascal ?” “Me bery much afraid
debbei set it down flip.”—[Barre (Mass)
Gazette.
True Charity. —One of the most beau
tiful instances of the considerate kind
ness of true charity with which we are
acquainted, is that of the benevolent Dr.
Wilson of England. He once discover
ed a clergyman at Bath, who, as he was
informed, was sick and poor, at the s*me
time oppressed with the care of maintain
ing a numerous family. In the evening
he gave a friend fifty pounds, requesting
he would deliver it in the most delicate
manner, and as from an unknown person.
The friend replied, “I will wait upon him
early in the morning.” "You will oblige
me, sir, by calling directly. Think of whai
importance a good night’s rest may be to
that poor man.”—[Charleston Register.
In a recent interview with a young cler
gyman, settled in a country village, who
has several small children, he declared,
that after a deep consideration of the sub
ject, after an examination of all those argu
ments by which men so often flatter them
selves, that they have done their duty,
when they have only subserved their inter
est or consulted their convenience, lie had
come to the conclusion, th?*. it was his
duty to send his children to the common
district school of the village. “If,” said
he, “I am really one of my church and of
my people, then the school which 1 assist
iu providing for their children, is as good
for mine as for them. I shall not he so
likely to watch over the school, to exert
myself for its advancement, to look after
the manners of the children, to cultivate
their good affections, to preserve them
from bad habits, from the vices of lying,
profanity, obscenity, if my own children
j are not among them. Such is- human nn
jture, that I dare not trust my own ability
to perform my duty, if I set my own inter
est in opposition to theirs, or sever the con
nexion between them.”
A writer in the London Magazine,
speaking of Liverpool as a place of busi
ness, very properly gives it, in certain
respects, the preference over London.
The commerce of the first mentioned
place lias, it would seem, doubled itself
within twelve years, and so rapid is the
increase that, notwithstanding the most
strenuous exertions to keep pace with it,
the shipping accommodations are not suf
ficient for the demand. The quay at Liv
erpool extends along the river for about
two miles and a half, and is every where
indented by large docks which are so full
that ships arriving from sea are frequent
ly forced to remain in the river at con
siderable risk. An immense dock has
lately been constructed, the cost of which
has already been a million of pounds ster
ling. The revenue from the customs
contributed by Liverpool is four millions
sterling annually, and its export trado ex
ceeds even that of London. As may bn
supposed, the habits of the Liverpool peo
ple are peculiarly business like. Every
one has the air of being actively occupied
and instead of malls and public walks for
the purposes of lounging, the eye of the
traveller rests upon establishments con
nected with commerce, and streets filled
with busy passengers, the quickness of
w hose gait bespeaks the urgency of their
occupation.—[Balt. American.
The Great Western. —lt is said that
the late passage is (he greatest triumphjhis
ship has achieved. For two weeks it blew
constant heavy gales, with a tremendous
dead sea on from the West, and for much
of the time the gale amounted to a hur
ricane. The ship pitched dreadfully,
sometimes the wheel house nearly under,
and yet not one moment did her engine
cease to work nor a screw or bolt loosen
in any part of the machinery. A person
at any time could sit quietly in the cabin,
and at no moment was it considered that
there was the least danger. A few pad
dles were one night lorn away by a float
ing log it is thought, as there was much
drift wood at sea.

NUMBER 48.
[From the Philadelphia World.]
On Wednesday afternoon, while Cow*
modore Elliott was coming in the rail road
cars to this city to attend the Court of In
quiry to be lield at the Navy Yard a per
son who is called Major M’Donalo, of
Louisiana spoke very disrespectfully of
Generals Gaines and Jesup, and of the
commanding officers of the Nary, and es
pecially Com. Elliott, whom he represent
ed as a coward in the battle of LakeJE rie,
.Hid a tyrant in the Mediterranean—Com.
Elliott observed that he was mistaken in
the facts, that a Court of Inquiry upon the
battle of L ike Erie, iu 1818, the record
of which was now in the Navy Depart
ment, had settled the case very differ
ently.
Major M’Donald denied this and con
tinued his vituperations of Com. Elliott.
The latter then announced himself, aud
remarked that if Mr. Al’Donaid were a
gentleman, he would refer the dispute to
another opportunity: not wishing to dis
turb the ladies in the car. Com. Elli
ott then requested a gentleman in an un
dertone, to deliver his card to M’Donald,
with a request that he would not leave the
city till he heard from the Commodore.
He refused to receive the card, ard con
tinued his abuse.
When the car stopppd in Broad-street,
several gentlemen requested the Commo
dore to take no notice of this man, as he
seemed unworthy of if, or if he did, mere
ly to give him a caning. He replied that
I such was his intention, but that he first
J wished to make a gentleman of the man,
|by the offer of his card; and that as he
ind refused that, a caning was duw. He
then approached M’Donald and struck
him with the cane. A scuffle ensued, in
which M’Donald's cane was broken to
pieces, and Elliott’s broken near the end.
M'Donnld seizing one end of Elliott’s
cane, drew off the sheath from tho sword.
Some gentlemen present apprehending
that the Commodore would wouud him,
seized his arm, but released him on his
saying that he should not injure, but rnere
j ly flog his adversary.
They then released him, and ho pursu
ed M’Donald, who ran off, calling names
1 while the Commodore applied his blows.
| The Commodore then returned, and pro
ceeded to iiis lodgings at General Irvine's
j in High street.
We obtained this account throogb a
gentleman who came iu the cars; witness
ed the whole affair, and stated it to some
Naval officers at the Mansion
the account of the battle is corroborated
|by information which we obtained at the
rail road depot.
Ablactation. —The printing for the
principal Executive Departments at Wash
ington, which has been done by the Globe
I publishers, for some yenrs past, at their
own prices, and at a clear profit of 10 or
12,000 dollars a year, is this year to be
done by cou'ract, in pursuance of a late
law of Congress to that effect. The Mad
isonian of this morning states that tho
printing for the present year has already
been contracted for, by others competent
to the duty, at prices far below those
which the Globe editors offered to do it
at, though these rejected offers on their
part were themselves far below (be prices
which the eoncern had heretofore charged
for doing it. Thus one may see where
one leak has existed heretofore of tho
public money; and few, if any, will regret
that this leak has been stopped, except
the Globe owners thturMi«lv.es, wWatc thus
j deprived of a portion of their accustomed
j pap. Alluding to this loss of ten or twelve
! thousand dollars a year of clear profit, the
Madisonian says: “Verily, the dynasty of
the Globe approaches its end."—[Balti
