limn/or something in tltc imd^e of ft
man, exceedingly tipsyous, lying on the
ground, amidst scattered chips andshav-:
byjeeringnnd plagueing him. Upon
remonstrance one of them said that he
had throw’d a stone at Jimmy Gahboh'
•pause lie tickled liis ear with, ft shavin
wl »en he was asleep/ This ‘ was no ex
cuse, and we told the boys so; ‘but.
somehow or nother/ like the Ameri
cans at Bladensburgh, they did’nt seem
to take no interest. Meamvhiie, the
poor inebriate, had raised himself part
ly up, resting oh one side, and said; >Vhy
can t they let me be? Wish to-God-
was an Ingin-r-tliat’s all 1 hope?
Two squaws with two moccasins and
■Other wampum bead work, had been
drawdling along by, a moment before,
which probably suggested the thought
that was permeating his. half-addled
bruin. He finally stood upon his feet
but his knees were not like the firm oak
ship's knees .which were piled up around
him’; the feeble knees failed hiin, and
down lie went. He stretched out an
arm. laid his head upon it, and . was
presently in the land of dreams. All
this tiflie the mischievous 1 »o>;.s were
watching him, while we watching than
throgh a crevice in jthe board fence
which surrounded the yard. At length
he was fast and sound asleep. Iiis yaw
ning shoes disclosed all his toes on each
loot; ‘and as we gazed we saw’ one of
the little rascals making a slip-noose,
within, strong twine, around one of his
big toes, which protruded from the clam
shell opening of Ills old shoe, that look
ed, more than anytking-else* lil$e' the
head of a great black snake. To the
other end of the twine, which had a
long purchase, they tied securely the
ragged remnants of a large brickbat.
They then carefully-removed from a
wide space around him oven* other pos
sible thing which he might get hold of
to throw at them; but this missile they pTHe fise ii right! the clalmda clear,
placed, as tho Irish have it, ‘convenient >Vh’^h I will shortly xriakejippear
to his hand/ Then all thojaughiug boys
yetired to a safe distance save v»tu\- ho
remained to tickle tho slepjKw’s ear nnd
nose with a thin pine splinter, to arouse
him from his slumber. Presently the
wretched inebriate awoke: and seeing
his tormentor beating a retreat, at the
same time laughing ‘ready to split Iiis
sides/ he seized the decoy .missile and-
huried it alter him. It was cruel! Tl.e
string came up with a round turn, which
almost tore the poor fellows toe off. He
roared with the self inflicted pain and
.then he straightway staggered thence.

And nations hear tho solemn chime
Still echoed back from crory strand ; :
And silvery Luna fills her Jb^c*
To light tho ,deep blue deaths of heaven 1
And lamp-like Venus doth adorn
The purple mist of even,
Yet time flies on* with* tireless wing
O'er the far streep of centuries spread
To blight the hopes to which we cling
Mocking tho living and the dead
How like a sunbeam gone astray,
'Mid shadows on a summer's day,
We see the spot whereon it played,
We look again upon the shade
The transient beam did seem to qurver
Then quit the anxious gaze forever.
’Tis so with time! It quickly flies,
Like prismy colours in the skies,
Waisting the beautiful and new,
Blighting Earth’s daughters and its sons;
We sigh to think how swiftly through
Life’s course the spirit rafts.
Yet full,of trindom, to tho heart,
Its stern instructions doth impart
Th^n .do uot let its lessons pass,

While Mills grinds wood for parlor use.
And Omberg roasts a Tailor’s goose.
Love a Harper Moore than those
Who go'Scott free iu Sunday clothes,
And TTarc the best upon the back,
Like Dry Goods in a pedler’s pack.
Things take a change when Walker's ride,
And Grave? hecomes the city’s pride,
Whilo in the winters gathering gloom.
The Sutsmcrhays is known to bloom,
And Carter’^ are without a egrt,
Aud Dukes in duckdoxus have no part,
\N*hile Kings have neither crown or throne,
And Duckcr ducks himself alone,
And Wells are all above the ground,
And Jncks, true gentlemen, are found,
While ftoiri that mighty fish that was,

And with a Living-stone ean Mark
The new Jerusalem in.the dork;
Strange things transpire, and strange to soe

By taxing vice and makiuj* debts
Tho’ small my fees, bow fairly, won,
By honest service which is done.
But ere I close, my lmrp shall sing,
A happy New Year’s welcoming
To all who love our Southern home,
And labor for the good of Romo.
May traitor’s Uaug, and right be done,

With grateful heart, and wishes civil,
I’m truly your's, The Printer’s Devil.

1 will give you a short account of a
very singular case in this ucigbboi hood,
which lias for'the last eight or ten
weeks- uitracted more attention than
any ease I ever heard of. Persons for
fifty or sixty miles, even from Austin,
Bastrop nnd other places, have come to
sec it. For about three weeks ihere
were every night-from fen to one hun
dred persons present, campingall round.
.Some-tiuio last fall, a young lady, about
*20 or 22 years of age was gathering peas
near night, when something bit or
stung her on the foot. She says it was
a snake, but she did not see it. Some
timo afterward it began to affect her.—
She.Feemed to have fits, commencing
about sun-down and lasting sometimes
a part, and at others nil night. I have
not been to see her myself, though
several of my -family have. She first
becomes nervous, then jerking, and then
her eyo balls begin to protrude, and. in
a few hours they look like bursting out,
and she begs those around her to push
them back. During tho fit she puts her
self in every possible attitude—often
trying to bite .herself, licking out her
tongue, and mimicking a snake iu
many ways, and mast generally perse
veres until she succeeds in biting her
self; und, very curious to state she gen
erally tries to bite her big toe. About
seven or eight weeks ago she got so she
could not drink, and about eight weeks
afterwards she could not eat ; and she
bus positively remained twenty-eight
days without eating one particle of any
thing. Doctors could not get anything
