the well digger an owes true ballad
BT Jons G. SAXE.
Come listen all «liile I relate
What recently befell
Unto a farmer down in Maine,
While digging of a well.
Full many a yard he dug and delved,
And still de dng in vain;
“Alack!” quoth lie. “e’en water seems
Prohibited in Maine I”
And still he dug and delved away,
And still the well « as dry;
The only water to be found
Was in the Tarnier’s eye;
For by the breaking the bank
That tumbled from its -station.
All suddenly his hope was dashed
Os future liquidation I
And now his sands were running fast,
And he had died, ne &Mibt,
But that just when the well caved in,
He happened to be suit I
“ Aha! I have a lucky thought."—
Exclaimed this wicked man—
“ To dig anew this wretcned well
I see a pretty plan:—
“I'll hide me straight, and when my wife
And eke my neighbors know,
What's happened to my digging here,
They'll think that I'm below !
“ And so to save my precious life,
They’ll dig the well, no doubt.
E'en deeper than ’twas dug at first,
Before they find me out! - ’
And so he hid him in the barn
Through all the hungry day,
To bide the digging of his well
In this deceitful way. *
But list w hat grief and shame befell
This false, ungrateful man,
The while he slyly watched to see
The working of his plan;—
The neighbors al] with one accord
Unto each other said:
“With such a weight of earth above,
The man is surely dead.”
And then the wife, with pious care,
All needless cost to save.
Said—“ Since the Lord hath willed it so.
E'en let it be his grave!”
WINE SONG:
PROM LASJOV.
Now, while the wine in the gleaming glass glances,
See through its mimic waves Heating tine sauces:
Down in the seething flood
Os the grape’s purple blood
Is the Mirth-god’s abode :
Deep in the chalice
Joy bus his poluce.
Now moving fitfully, whirling in dances,
Oh! how my senses the sweet sight entrances !
See, glides a merry band,
Strays from a fairy land ;
Love, with a ray-ltkewand,
Leading the chorus,
Flitting before us.
Ripplea, like drapery, now seem concealing
Shapes traitorous bubbles would fain be revealing :
Spirits most delicate,
Keeping their tiny state,
Wavering, seem to wait;
Tremulous groups.
Like uncertain hopes.
Here is a Lethe for cares that oppress us;
Here is a gladness wailing to bless us ;
E’er any envious slip.
Lift to the ready lip :
Let Jove his nectar sip,
Red wine bo ours.
Cups crowned with flowers.

THE BANDOLERO’S STORY.
To yon, Caballeros, who, born in a blessed
land of liberty, dare to think, and to act inde
pendently, I take pleasure in relating the his
tory of my life, that you may judge from it for
yourselves, whether the heart of Montes be as
black ns these fetters would paint it.
1 was born in Madrid. My parents being in
easy circumstances, I received a liberal educa
tion, and three years since, at the early age of
nineteen, graduated at the university of Sala
manca. No sooner had I taken my degree,
than my father proposed that 1 should travel
until I attained my twenty-first birth day,
when I was to make choice of a profession for
life; and as he coincided in opinion with that
Chinese philosopher who says, ‘ A man should
be thoroughly acquainted with his own coun
try beofre visiting another,’ J turned my steps,
at his desire, toward Granada.
As I was one day loitering about the streets
of that city, my attention was drawn to a
group of young girls, who. seated amid the ru
ins of a mosque, were busily occupied in weav
ing garlands of flowers, while an old Moor—a
professional story-teller—was recounting for
their entertainment one of the thousand-und
one legends of his people. 1 lolling my sombre
ro, I approached the ladies, and apprising them
of the fact of my being a stranger, respectfully
requested permission to become a participator
with them in the Moor's narration ; which pri
vilege was frankly imd graciously accorded to
me.
Among the senoritas was one whose tiensive
face, and large dreamy’ eyes—darker than the
night, and brighter than the noon-day sun—
soon drew me to her side; and entering into
conversation with her, 1 found, to my surprise,
that she was Dona Maria de Montes, a distant
relation of my own, to w hose father I had
brought letters of introduction. You can rea
dily surmise, Caballeros, the result of this
chance meeting. The acquaintance thus un
expectedly made, soon ripened into friendship,
friendship into love; and in less than a month
from the day of my first casting eyes upon Iter,
my fair kinswoman was solemnly betrothed to
me in the presence of her father confessor; aud
a day appointed for our marriage.
I now gave up all thoughts of visiting for
eign lands, and resolved to adopt the profes
eiun of arms; whereupon I set utf fur Madrid,
to solicit from the minister of war a commis
sion in the ‘Queen's Guard.-,' then on duty in
the yalace of the Alhambra, where smneoftlie
royal family were temporarily residite.r. But
‘man proposes and God disposes!’ Before I
reached Cordoba, a courier overtook me with
-the maddening intelligence that on the very
alay of my departure from Grenada, my noria
had been forcibly abducted from her lather’s
house, by the Marquis of Cadiz, a nobleman
whose vices were the reproach of the kingdom.
Knowing my inability to cope with the pow
erful marquis, I continued my journey to Mad
rid, to ask the protection of Iler Majesty for
Mariquina; and, at the same time. 1 wrote to
the venerable Archbishop of Grenada, implor
ing his influence in her and my behalf. The
cleric sent me a response, tilled w ith much pi
cas counsel, and an admonition 'to eno form
myself to the Lord's will,' while Iler Majesty,
whose sympathies were entirely with the libi
dinous marquis, (for you must know. Caballe
ros that this ‘Queen by the grace of God' is
so noted for her scandalous amours, that she is
contemptuously styled by the lower classes,
‘ el guants usado,) actually reprimanded me, a
plebian, for daring to complain of one of her
nobles.
And so. Church and State having mocked
me, I had recourse to those whom Spain has
ever hod more cause to bless than to curse—l
mean the bandoleros, whose captain I soon be
came.
I now passed whole nights in devising
schemes of revenge for the injury 1 received;
and in a year from this time I reduced the
proud Marquis of Cadiz from a state of allitt
ence to one of comparative beggary. Still I
was unable to get possession, of his person, or
of that of Mtiriqnina.
At length, however, word was brought to
me that a woman dying in a peasant’s hut, not
far from our place of rendezvous, desired to
speak with me. This woman, caballeros. was
my noria. I spare you the recital of her
wrongs! She was buried at the mouth of a
cavern, which served as a retreat for our band,
and with my own hands 1 erected a cross over
{ her grave. ‘
This was but a month ago; and twu days
thereafter I stood upon the same s|x>t. face to
face with my enemy. It was mid-night, and
the torches of my trusty followers, who en
compassed us, threw a fitful glare over the
scene:
“Don Gaspar de Aguilar, Marquis of Cadiz.”
’ , said I, “you are now standing beside tl.e grate
of her whom you so deeply wronged. Prepare
to meet thy God!”
“I wronged her, it is true,” faltered the
wretch ; “but, believe me, 1 had respect unto
her honor.”
“Are you speaking the truth I”
“I am.”
“Then swear it by that cross.”
“And as the trembling coward knelt and
kissed the sacred emblem. I buried my stiletto
in his bosom; thus sending him, with a lie tip
on his lips, back to the hell from whence lie
sprung.
“And now. caballeros, I am here, a captive
condemned to the garrote. But think not I
mourn my lot. No: life has no charms for me
now. And although I atn doomed to an igno- -
minions death, 1 have the sweet consolation of
knowing that my grave will be watered by the
tears of my companions, and my memory live ,
in the hearts of thousands of the poor, whose :
-■ necessities I relieved from the overflowing cof
fers of the Marquis of Cadiz.”

Tli.tr was a monstrous crowd in that grove, an
old Hullin wur a preachin to urn at an orful rate
-how the lu ll sarpints w ould stir- e cm es they
didn't repent—how they'd crawl over cm, rap

it wur a omen, how they’d quile in her bus

Now I’d koteh live biggray pot-bellied lizzards

packed as tite as a bundle of sticks. Bo while !
lie wur a rarin onto his tip-toes, onbunownst

mouth up under his britches leg, an gin thar
tails a squeeze an a shake, w hen they nil tuck
up his bur leg, luakln ove a noise sorter like
sqtiirrils a climbin a shell bark hickory. He
stopped preachin an looked fur a moment like
he wur a listnin rur smuthing, sorter like an
ok- sow dus when she hears you whistle fur
the dogs. I give a groan, an hilt my head
atween my knees. Then he commenced a slap
. in ove hisself w liar you cut the steak oiiten a

tail sprouts, then he'd stomp, then run his han
atween his waisbun an his shurt, an reach

spread his big legs and give his back a good

like a hog scratches agin a stump, a leanen to

lite I’asson’s shut collar an bis old brown neck,

Now old Hullin had nothin left on him but

Goods on Credit and Phodcce for Cash.—
It lias been a custom for many years, in com
mercial communities, to sell goods on credit i
and purchase produce from farmers for cash.— I
The planter tells the mercliaiit. “when I sell I
my cotton 1 will pay my store bill." Let us i
illustrate the principle, by a change of the par
ties. Supposing the merchants were to buy
the produce of the farmers on a credit—their i
cotton, corn, wheat, bacon. Ac..—and when :
they were called upon for a settlement, were
to reply, “You must wait. Mr. Planter, until I
sell my goods." What would the planters say
to such a reply i | i
The truth is. planters can buy cheaper for
cash, be more independent in their business ar
rangements, and in every way be more satisfied
at the end of the year, by the cash system, than
in any other way. And merchants can calcu- !
late, with more certainty of meeting all their
obligations than by the deceptions and nnreli- !
able credit system now so niiu-ii in vogue, it
is a favorable time for farmers and merchants '
to interchange resolution-.— Constitutionalist.
DOMESTIC ECONOMY.
Snake Bite.—Since writing our article on ’
insect bites, we have noticed that a child was
bitten on the arm by a rattlesnake. It was
bound up in wet ashes ; no ill-results were ob
served to follow. Whisky was swallowed
freely. But as spirits have been known to fail
signally in such cases, we may attribute the
cure to the alkali of the ashes and water. —

Lockjaw.—lt is well known that this is one
of the most dreaded and painful complaints
that flesh is heir to. and frequently ballk-s the
power of medical skill to cure. It may be pro
duced in various ways, but most frequently by
running nails into the feet. We have known
it to be causi-il by simply running a pin into
the toe; again by cutting the wrist with glass,
and by improperly pulling out a hang nail, and
various other ways. The following, con
tributed by the Baltimore Sun, for the benefit
of its renders, may be worth remembering. 1
have noticed lately several deaths by lockjaw. I
and for the information of all I w ill give u cer
tain remedy. When any one runs a nail or
any sharp instrument into any part of his body,
take a common smoke-pipe, tiill it well, t’'en
take a cloth or silk handkerchief, place it over
the bowl of the pipe, and blow the smoke
through the stem into the wound ; two or three
pipe fulls will be sufficient to set the wound
discharging. I have tried it myself and five
others, and found it gave immediate relief, if
the wound Ims been some days standing, it
will open again if the tobacco is good. Try it,
any one who may chance to get such a wound.
Busteiif.d and Tendered Feet.—Boil any
I quantity of bran in water for twenty minutes,
strain, and mid to the water of the usual foot

A Snake Story.—The following anecdote
is a fart. It was told by a gentleman who
w itnessed it:
An Indian came to a certain ‘agency’ in the
northern part of lowa, to procure some whis
i key for a young warrior, who had, as he said.
: bleu bitten by a rattlesnake. At first the
‘a.ent’ did not credit hisstory, but the earnest
ness of the Indian, and the urgency of the case,
j overcome his scruples, and turning to get the
liquor, be asked the Indian how much he want
ed ?
“Four quart,” answered Indian.
“Four quarts ?” asked the ‘agent,’ in surprise;
: as “much as that ?”
“Yes,” replied the Indian, speaking through
his set teeth, and frowning ns savagely as
though about to wage a war of extermination
on the whole snake tribe “four quarts— snake
very big.'
The Rei> Petticoat Fashion.—lt is said by

GENERAL ITEMS.
The Corn Citot*.—A letter from Flemings
burg, Ky., to the New York Tribune, gives the
following unfavorable intelligence in relation
to the corn crop:
"1 regret to inform you that the corn in all
this part of Kentucky is utterly ruined with
the wit weather; notone bushel in ten will
be fit for any use, and the little that may be
1 saved can only answer for stock. Parties are
I going west to procure seed; there will be none
1 here suitable, that is certain; and from what
! we can learn, it is very little better- in Ohio
1 and Indiana. We have had incessant rains
: throughout the Ohio Valley, ever since about
the middle of November ; indeed, the whole
season since harvest, has bun nnprecedently
wet, and the corn has pretty niuch all rotted.
I 1 venture to say that there w ill be less corn of
sound quality gathered by tw o thirds, than last
year, when you know we had a vuy light
crop.”
The llogMarkkt.—Say s tin- Louisville Jour
nal of the (Ith iust., continues very dull. A
few lots were sold yesterday at xf to 4 25.
At Cincinnati, yesterday, our dispatch says the
sales amounted to only one-half the number re
ceivi d, and quotations ranged from $4 to $4 50
—the outside price for heavy. Green meats
had declined to 3 1-4, 4 1-2 and U 1-Sc. for
shoulders, sides and hams, and lard to 7 l-2c.
In the face of the continued decline in the
hog market at the West, why is it that the
prices keep up so well in Columbus? Although
we do not profess to be a "prophet, nor the
son of a prophet." we will vi-ntm t- to predict
that those who are packing away pork rather
than take less than it is selling nt now, will see
their folly next spring, as they will have to
take then for their bacon w hat they are now
asking fin-their pork. But " let 'em rip." as
the saying is.— Cobimbus Son.
Committee of Ways and Means.—Hon.
Mui tiu .J. < rawT.ird, our immediate rc’.>rc.s,il
lative in Congress, has been appointed to the
place on the Committee of Ways and Means,
made vacant by the resignation of Hon. Na
thaniel V. Banks, elected Governor of Massachu
setts. The Black Republicans are very indig
nant at the result, as it leaves them but one of
theii number on this Committee. — lb.
New Cointies.—There were eight new
counties made by the last Legislature, viz :
Dawson, [triim Lumpkin and Giltner;] Glass
cock, (from V.'..; r. n;] Milton [from Cobb,
Cherokee and Forsyth;] Mitchell, [from Ba
ker;) Pierce, [from Wayne and Appling;]
Schley, [from Marion and Sumter;] Wilcox,
[from Irwin. Pulaski and Dooly;] and White,
[from Habersham]—niakiiig the number in the
State, 120.
Tub Sugar Choi* of Louisiana. —It is stat
ed in the New Orica: - Crescr.t that the sugar
crop of Louisiana for 1857 will be from 225.0V0
to 250.000 hhds.. against about 75,000 hhds.
in 1850. Prices are. of course, much low er than 1
last year: bnt, nevirihcless, planters will real
ize about S2,<MtO,OoO more from the crop of this ,
season than from that of 1850, while cuusum- i
ers will also gain largely.
Ex-Governor Matte-on, of Illinois, says the .
Chicago Ifomocrat, intends to be a candidate
for the United States Senatorship in opposition
to Mr. Douglas. ?
The tobacco chvv. er is said to be like a gooae ’
in a Dutch oven—always on the spit. .
DIRECT TAXATION AND FREE TRADE.
Gen Quitman Os Mississippi, observes an ex
change, has intimated his intention to bring a
bill before the House of Representatives during ,
the present session to provide for the support ,
oftlie Government by direct taxation. Mr. |
Boyce, of South Carolina, has also announced
a similar purpose: but we suppose the two
distinguished gentlemen will confer together,
and that instead of two, only one measure will '
be brought up for consideration. Some ar- :
raugement of this kind ought to be effected, if
for nothing else, to avoid even the semblance
of clashing.
There is bnt one product of Southern indus
try that the revenue laws of the United States
benefit, and in that product Gen. Quitman is (
largely interested. We believe the spirit
against us is now stronger than ever, and that ;
as soon as four or five more Freesoil States are 1
added to the Union, all of w hich w ill take , '
place in two or three years, that the duty on
sue’ar will be repealed, nnd that every discrim
ination against us that can be enacted by Con
gress will be enacted to advantage the North,
regardless of right, organic law. propriety or
justice, and that it is tin* intention of our ex
pectant Northern ty rants to treat usas England
lais treated Ireland for centuries, or as the
same country has treated India since she first
obtained supremacy in the East. Indeed, tin*
long-cherished designs of Abolitiondoin are |
hardly .concealed. It is but a few months (
since the New York Times—the especial or
gan of Senator Seward—openly declared that |
no matter what might occur, the Northern
people would declare for the Union, and that
no matter how the Southern people thought,
felt or acted, that they, too. should decline for
the Union ! This meant nothing more nor less
than that the Freesoilers, in the event of South
ern resistance to their s|Hiliations and oppres
sions. w ould attempt to compel us by the force
of numerical strength to submit to any condi
tions they might think proper to impose!
Should the movement of Gen. Quitman suc
ceed. the doctrine of Free Trade, in its broad
est ami most comprehensive sense, will obtain
a practical realization.’ All duties on imports
of every kind—nil restrictions on trade—will
at once cease. Custom Houses and Custom
House ofticials will be known only as a part of
tin- past—the President will be shorn of three
fourths of his most valuable patronage—office
holders will be scarcer in the land, and as a [
naturally necessary consequence, there will be
a revival of that public patriotism which has:
sadly degenerated in these latter days under
the prevalence of the principle ilmt to the vic
tors belong the spoils.”
Although w e have little id. a the North will
consent to the adoption of the measure pro
posed by Gen. Quitman, stiii we trust it will
lie ably and elaborately discussed in Congress.
A full discussion would throw much light on
the anfiject, nnd post up thousands ot people
who are greatly in need of posting. Besides,
we hold to the belief that it would strengthen I
the position of the planters. : t least for the ■
present, instead of wiakcniiig A". (). Cns
