Lines on ft Skeleton,*
Behold this ruin ! 'l'nns :i skull,
Onco of-ethereal sjjirit lull
This narrow cel 1 was Life’s retreat,
This space was Thought’* mysterious seat.
-\Vhftt beauteous visions filled this spot,
What dreams of pleasure long forgot,
Nor Hope, nor Love, nor Joy nor rear,
Have left one trace of record lfere.
Beneath this mouldering canopy
Once shone the bright and busy eye;
But start not nt the dismal void :
If social Love that eye employed ;
If with no lawless tiro it gleamed.
But through the dew of kindness beamed,
That eye shall be forever bright
When sturs and sun are sunk in Night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, and tuneful tongue.
If Falsehood’* honey it ditdained,
And where itcoulihiiot praise, yvns chained;
If bold in Virtue’s cause it spoke,
Yet gentle Concord never broke,
This siient Tongue shall plead for theo
When Time unveils Eternity.
Fay, did these fingers delve the mine ?
Or with its envied rubies shine?
To hew the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail to them.
But if the page of truth they sought,
Or comfort to the mourner brought,
These hands a richer meed shall claim
Than all that wait on Wonlth or Fame.
Avails it, whether bare or shod,
These feet the paths of duty trod ?
If from the bowers of Ease they fled,
To seek Affliction's humble shed ;
If Grandeur’s guilty bribe they spurned,
And home to Virtue’s cot returned,
These feet with nngels’ wings shall vio,
And tread tho pulace of the sky.

[From the Louisville Journal.]
Jury Trial in Texas-
Tho following incident characterising the
order of the times may be relied upon as
being truthful in every particular:
By a recent military order in the Territo
ry of Texas, our newly fledged sable sover
eigns are made eligible to seats in the jury
box. And before we give the details of the
incident, it is proper to state that by munic
ipal regulations of the Teiritory justices ol
the peace have jurisdiction over offense
of certain grades, with power to impannel
a jury of six, and try the cause ia regular
and ample form, which gives to this charac
ter of judicial proceedings a dispatch rarely
met with ia the States.
In an interior county of the Territory, not
many weeks since, a criminal offense occur
red between two colored gentlemen, in which
one came very near losing bis life, without
the least provocation. The offender was ar
rested and brought before a justice for trial.
Able counsel were employed upon both sides.
A jury of colored citizens was brought from
the cotton fields, one of whom being an ac
quaintance of ours, was appointed foreman,
impanneled, sworn, and charged to deter
m’ue the issue according to law and evidence.
Able arguments were made in both the pro
secution and defense. Book after book, and
authority afier authority were elaborately
and eloquently paraded before the court and
jury. Unusual pains were taken to instruct
the jury, as it was new to them, not only as
to the law applicable to the case, but as to
their duties as jurors. Reports say that it
was one of the rntst masterly efforts ever made
in the Territory before a similar court.
His Honor charged the jury that it was
their duty to find a verdict, and when they
had found it to return it into court —that, if
they found their verdict so and so, 6ucb and
such would be the result; but if they found it
otherwise, the resuld would be different; but
impressed it earnestly upon their minds that
their first duty was to find a verdict. The
jury w as put in charge of an officer and con
ducted to a room, aud left to themselves.—
After a lapse of half an hour or more, Sam,
the foreman, was seen making bis way, fol
lowed by the rest of his peers, to the seat of
the Judge, pap.-rs in band, with the airs
common to the youug in the law. The pan
el was called and novitiates requested to
answer to their names. Sam squared hints
self before the eourt, displaying the papers
with great pomposity, aud theu delivered
Limselt to bis Honor: “Seehere Mr.Court,
we’s been down to dat are room, aod we
bunts in every crack, in every corner, up
the chimney, and under de floor, and can’t
find any thing that looks like a wordiek.”
His Honor then attempted to explain to
them wliat a verdict was, and directed them
to return and consider of it. After they bad
been out about a half an hour they agaiu made
their appearance before the court, and Sara
thus enquired of bis Honor: “Looker here,
Mr. Court, didn't you ’point me foreman of
dis jury ?” “Yes sir, I did.” “Dal’s what I
told dese fools, but doy didn’t got sense
enough to know it. I tells ’um what and
how dis case is, and dey won’t do as I tells
'urn. Ain’t dey bound to do what I say Mr.
Court?” The Justice told them they might
go back to their room, and requested the
counsel to go after them and make up a ver
dict, as be wished to go to dinner. The law
yers followed, and the jury soon returned
with a verdict of one dollar fine and the dis
missal of the defendant. W e have thi6 story
from an eye witness, and it may be relied
upon with perfect implicitness. “Coming
events cast their shadows before.”
