P o e I r y. From the Augusta {Ga.) Sentinel. 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. Augusta, April 9, 1836. Miscellany. 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. as a cabin-boy in a collier* 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. Important Txial.—ln the circuit court at Albany. N. Y., • suit was brought by John Smith, who, with his family, was on board the steamboat Advocate when she blew up, at Coey- ' man’s Landing, in May last Three of Mr. Smith’s children died of the in juries received, and his wife was seri ously scalded. The jury have brought i in a verdict for the plaintiff; damages i eight thousand dollars* When Stephen Girard set up his pri vate bank in Philadelphia, one of the moneyed incorporations refused to re ceive his notes in exchange or depoaite. Mr Girard said nothing about it, but called on the bank one day; find said so the Cashier—“Sai r, bonjour—l ’aye $200,000 of your note here; will joa do me de plaisir to give me de same in my note?” “Oh, we have none of yotir notes, Mr. Girard.” “Ah ha, no note, eh?—-veil, Sair, you will please to give me de cash for your note.” ' Advertising a Stats.

It is something | like an advertisement we frequently see I - “Whereas my wife Sally Texas has , absconded from mv bed and board, | therefore take notice, I shall pay do ’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.” Indian virtue.—A married woman ofthe Shawanee Indians, made this • beautifitt reply to a man whom she i met in the Wood's,- and who implored ■herto fore and took onhim; “Ou lama a : my busband,” said she’, w farrier before my eyes, hinders me from seeing ■ you.” 1 Eveky man has in his own life Tollies ■ enotigh—in hisown life trouble enough ' —in the. performance of his dutibs de ficiencies enough—in hia own fortunes ; evil enough—Without being curious as : ter the of others. I I * ; , ’ ' 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 ‘quietlyspread his pantaloons on the bed, and then hung himself on the back of a chair, where he rested til! morn ing; and it was found impossible to convince him that he had spent the night Otherwise than usual upon a soft feather bed.
