TEXAS AND LIBERTY.
BY THOMAS HQtLV CHIVERS, M. D.
Oh Tolas! when thy land is free—
When the last cannon cloud shall be
Mantled upon thy foamingtea*-
The dove shall fly to thee*
When the hit triitap shall wake at
morn,
Rearing the shout of Freedom born—
Then shall the tyrant ever mourn
For ail thy Liberty.
Lo! the dark arm of death is nigh!
Hear the wild notes of vengeance cry!
?luZe/ for to tnorrow thoU shalt die!
And nil thy chivalry!
Sec the bright spear the tyrant wields!
1 leaf the loud clash of burnished shields
Glancing aboVe thy battle fields—
In fearful majesty!
See tlife gold eddying clouds of even
Chase the dark storm by thunder riven,
Gathering round the gates of heaven,
To shout tor victory!
List! the loud trumpet calls to war!
Rise from the,battlements afar!
Thunder thy cannon peals, and mar
The shout es tyranny!
Hark! froth the Alamo at last,
See the bright bomb upon the blast!
Behold! above! away! ’tie past —
In frightful pageantry!
Charge! for the dreadful hour is nigh!
The eagle soars into the sky,
To triumpn when the foe shall die!
The badge of chivalry.
The plain bedewed with savage gore,
Shall feed the grass that Covers o’er
The land that soVn shall be no more
The scourge of villany.
Shout for the fame that never dies!
Draw! for the sword shall win the prize!
Glory awaits thee in the skies!
And own thy Liberty.

A DIALOGUE.*
[Scene— a sick chamber—dying a j
drunkard.]
Enter Mr. A.—Mr. A. Good morn
ing friend D. I any sorry to find you
so low- Yon appear to be near your ,
end.
D. Yes,lam very low, and I think
I cannot live a great while longer. J
have been very unwise, I now see, in
drinking so hard, I am going to a
premature grave*
Mr. A. Why as to that, friend D.,
death, you know, is the common lot of
man, and some die younger than others.
We ought to be resigned to the will of
heaven.
D. Mr. A., you and I have been
neighbors a good many years. 1 think ,
we have always lived in friendship?
Mr. A. Yes, we have, and we have
spent many pleasant hours together. .
You have been a kind neighbor.
D. Mr; A., I have always been a ve
ry good customer at your bar, have I (
not?
Mr. A. Yes, I am sensible you have.
D. I have spent a great deal of mon
ey with you, for liquor.
Mr. A Yes, and lam much obliged
to you for your custom.
I). Do you think, Mr. A., that all '
the RUM I ever drank at your bar,
has ever done me any good!—Has it
increased tity property; elevated my
character,.comforted my family; and,
above all, prepared 1 consolation for this
dying bed?
Mr. A. I cannot say that it has. It
had been better for you not to hate
drunk so mvchv '' r
D. How theft 1 , Mr. A., could you.
why did you continue to sell me RUM,
when you knew it was doing me no
good? Mr. A., this with me is a so
lemn hour. 1 can now see In the clear
est light my folly, and yOtfr guilt. I
am a dying mat», a drunkard. At
your hand I received the fatal cup. In
your pocket is the price of my health,
my life, and, O God! of my immortal
spirit. As a dying num, I entreat yotf,
I warn you, to sell no more RUM.
RUM! RUM! it has been my rain,
and you sold it to me!—O my past life I
O my fu (he dies in convulsions.)
*Jtis not amiss to a part cfj
this dialogue actually occurred be- j
tween a rrnn setter and his viefhn on ’
bis. deatfobed.
Castatm Cook. —There is nos tfie
slightest doubt as to the authenticity
of the following incident; it shows un
deniably the effects of little causes pro
ducing great consequences. The dis
coveries of the great English circurh
gator werg owing to a parfictrtarly
marked shilling. Young Cook war a
native of Yorkshire, and served as an
apprentice to a merchant and shop-
keeper in a large fishing town in (hat
county. Some money had been miss
ed from the till, and to detect the de
linquent, a very curiously marked shil
ling was mixed with the silver; which
was accurately counted. On examin
ing the till shortly liftef, this peculiar
shilling was missing; and Cook tv ms'tax
ed with having taken itbUt; this he
instantly acknowledged, stating that
its particular look had caught bis eye,
but affirmed, at the same time, that he
had put another of his own in its place.
The money was accordingly counted
over again, and found to agree exactly
with his statement. Although the
family was highly respectable, and
therefore capable of advancing him in
bis future prospects, and also much at- i
tacbed to him, and very kind, yet the
high spirit ofthe boy could not brook
remaining in a situation where he had
been suspected; he therefore ran away'
and baVing no other resource, entered.

Casing SaoaciTv.—A gentleman of
Suffolk "being on an excursion with his !
friend, and having a Newfoundland,
dog of the party, he soon became the
subject of conversation; when the mas
ter, after a warm eulogium upon his
perfections, assured his Campitnfofi that
he would, upon receiving the order,
return and fetch any article he should
leave behind, fiom any distance. To
confirm this assertion a marked shilling
was put under a large square stone by
the side ofthe road, being first shown,
to the dog. The gentleman then rode
for three miles, when his dog received
his signal from the master to return
for the shilling he had seen put under
tbestoue* The dog turned back, the;
gentlemen Code on and reached home,
but to their surprise and disappoint
ment, the hitherto faithful messenger
did not return during the day. It afi
terwards appeared that he had gone
to the place wbefe the shilling was de
posited, but the stone being too large
lor his strength to feffiove, he had stay
ed howling at the pkce till two horse- ,
men riding by, and attracted by his (
seeming distress, stopped to look at
him, when one of them alighting,- re'
moved the stone, and seeing the shill
ing put it into his pocket, not at the
time conceiving it to be the object of
the dog’s search. The dog followed
their horses for twenty miles, remain
ed undisturbed in the room where they
supped, followed the chamber maid
info the bed chamber, and secreted
himself under dfte of the beds. The
1 possessor of the shilling hung hh bree
ches vfi a nail by the bedside; but
when the travellers were both a'sfitep
the dog took them in his mouth, and
leaping out of the window, which Was
left open on account of the sultry heat,
reached the bouse of his master at 4
o’clock in the morning with the prize
he had made free with; in the pocket
of which were found a watch and mon
ey, that were returned on being adver- '
tised when the whole mystery was
mutually unravelled.to the admiration of
all parties.

When Stephen Girard set up his pri
vate bank in Philadelphia, one of the

Mr Girard said nothing about it, but

Signor Gorastiza, the Mexican Min
ister, hfis cautioned every person hot
<to trust the Texiflns. It is something
| like an advertisement we frequently see
I - “Whereas my wife Sally Texas has
, absconded from mv bed and board,

’debts of her contracting after this
idate.” S.'slly Texas may answer thus
! —“Wluregs Signor Gorastiza Mexico,
having no board nor bed of his own
Chat 1 may eyre for, this is to give no
tice that he had batter pay his own
debts before he refussj to pay mine.”

' Absence of Mind.—We have heard
, many amusing anecdotes of person's af
flicted with what is called pi
mind,’ but never a better one than
that related of old Mr. Grindstone, oi
Calins, Maine. At the time of ietiriflg
to rest for the night the old gentleman

bed, and then hung himself on the back
of a chair, where he rested til! morn

convince him that he had spent the
night Otherwise than usual upon a soft
