WHAT IS A NEWSPAPER I
To the question from a child, “ what
is a new spaper ?” the Dublin General
Advertiser gives the following reply :
Organs that gentlemen play
To answer the tastes of the day;
Whatever it be.
They lot on the key.
And pipe in full concert away.
News from all countries and climes,
Advertisements, essays, and rhymes,
Mixed up with all sorts
Of (f)lying reports,
And published at regular times.
Articles able and wise.
At least in the editors eyes;
And logic so grand
That few understand
To what in the world it applies.
Statistics, reflections, reviews,
Little scraps to instruct and amuse,
And lengthy debate
Upon matters of state.
For wise-headed folks to peruse.
And funds as they were and arc,
And quibbles, and quirks of the Bar,
And every week
A clever critique
On some rising theatrical stBr.
The age of Jupiter's moons.
The stealing of somebody’s spoons,
The state of the crops,
And the wit of the fops.
And the wit of the public buffoons.
List of all physical ills
Banished by somebody's pills;
Till you ask with surprise
Why any one dies,
Or what's the disorder that kills.
Who has got married, to whom;
Who were cut off in their bloom:
Who has had birth
On this sorrow-stained earth,
And who totters fast to the tomb.
The prices of cattle and grain,
Directions to dig and to drain;
But ’twould take too long
To tell you in song
A quarter of what they contain.

The Volunteer Counsel.
John Taylor was licensed, when
a youth of twenty-one, to practice
at the bar. He was poor, but
well educated, and possessed of
extraordinary genius. He mar
ried a beauty, who afterward de
serted him for another.
On the yth of April, 1840, the
court-house in Clarksville, Texas,
was crowded to overflowing. An
exciting case was to be tried.—
George Hopkins, a wealthy plaut-
cr, had offered a gross insult to
Mary Ellisou, the young and beau
tiful wife of his overseer. The
husband threatened to clmst sc
him for the outrage, when Hop
kins went to Ellison’s house and
shot him in his own door. The
murderer was arrested and bailed
to answer the charge. This oc
currence produced great excite
ment, and Hopkins, in order to
turn the tide of popular indigna
tion, had circulated reports against
her character, and she had sued
him for slander. Both suits were
pending—for murder and slander.
The interest became deeper,
when it was known that Ashley
and Pike, of Arkansas, and S. S.
Prentiss, of New Orleans, by
enormous fees, had been retained
to defend Hopkins.
Hopkins was acquitted. The
Texas lawyers were overwhelmed
by their opponents. It was a
fight of a dwarf against giants.
The slander suit was for the
9th, and the throng of spectators
grew in numbers as in excitement.
Public opinion was setting in for
Hopkins ; his money had procured
witnesses who served his power
ful advocates. When the slander
case was called, Mary Ellison was
left without an attorney—all had
withdrawn.
* Have you no consel ?’ inquired
Judge Mills, looking kindly on
the plaintiff.
' No, sir; they have all deserted
me, and I am too poor to employ
any more,’ replied the beautiful
Mary, bursting into tears.
' In such a case, will not some
chivalrous member of the profes
sion volunteer?’ said the Judge,
glancing around the bar.
The thirty lawyers were silent.
' I will, your honor,’ said a voice
from the thickest part of the
crowd, behind the bar.
At the souud of the voice, many
started—it was so earthly, sweet
and mournful.
The first sensation was changed
into laughter, when a tall, gaunt,
spectral figure clliowed his way
through the crowd, and placed
himself within the bar. His
clothes looked so shabby, that
the court hesitated to let the case
proceed under his management.
* Has your name been entered
on the roll of the State?’ demand
ed the Judge.
'It is immaterial,’ answered the
stranger, his thin, bloodless lips
curling up with a sneer.
' Here is my license from the
highest tribunal in America !’ and
he handed the Judge a broad
parchment.
The trial went on.
He suffered the witnesses to tell
their own story, and he allowed
the defense to lead off. Ashley
spoke first, followed by Pike and
Prentiss. The latter brought the
house down in cheers, in which
the jury joined.
It was now the stranger’s turn.
He rose before the bar, not be
hind it, aud so near the wonder
ing jury, that he might touch the
foreman with his long bony finger.
He proceeded to tear to pieces
the arguments of Ashley, which
melted away at his touch like
frost before a sunbeam. Every
one looked surprised. Anon he
came to the dazzling wit of the
poet lawyer, Pike. Then the
curl of his lip grew sharper, his
smooth face began to kindle up
and his ej’es to open, dim and
dreary no longer, but vivid as
lightning, red as fire globes and
glaring as twin meteors. The
whole soul was in the eye; the
full heart streamed out of his face.
Then, without bestowing an allu
sion to Prentiss, he turned short
round on the perjured witnesses
of Hopkins, tore their testimony
into threads, and hurled in their
faces such terrible invectives, that
all trembled like aspens, and two
of them fled from the court-house.
The excitement of the crowd was
becoming tremendous. Their uni
ted life and soul seemed to hang
upon the burning tongue of the
stranger, and ho inspired them
with the power of his passions.—
He seemed to have stolen mture’s
loug-hidden secret of attraction.
But his greatest triumph was to
come.
His eyes began to glance at the
assassin Hopkins, as his lean,
tapered fingers assumed the same
direction. He hemmed the wretch
within a wall of strong evidence
and impregnable argument, cut
ting off all hope of escape. He
dug beneath the murderer’s feet
ditches of dilemmas, and held up
the slanderer to the scoru aud
contempt of the populace. Hav
ing thus girt him about with a cir
cle of fire, he stripped himself to
the work of massacre.
Oh 1 then it was a vision both
glorious aud dreadful, to behold
the orator. His action became as
A Warning Against the Pnrsnlt or
Office-Seeking by Yonng Men.
The Hon. Albert G. Brown, of
Mississippi, recently wrote a let
ter to a young friend, wherein he
laments that he ever made a polit
ical speech or held an office. Ex-
Governor Brown was for tliirtv-
tliroe years, previous to 18155,
continually in high official and po
litical station, and would, therc-
tore, seem to have had as exten
sive and favorable an experience
as any of his contemporaries and
associates. We quote as follows :
' True, as you say. I held many
offices. Indeed, I may say that I

I had success which people call
