MessrsT Editors: We begin to feel a
deep interest in the success of the Ga
zette, up here; and are delighted with its
appearanceinits newand enlarged form.
May it soon take the place of all the
weeklies which we “import” from the
North. Here is a pretty native gem,
which once appeared in a paper w hich
is principally political. I think it worthy
a corner in your popular literary jour
nal; and as far the greater portion of
your readers have not seen it in the pa
per in which it first appeared, 1 hope
you will give it a place.

THE FLOWER OF CATAWBA.
First under this head, this week, w-e
place the lines with the above caption.
All who have an appreciation of the po
etical, must acknowledge their beauty.
There is about them a sweet murmur
ing flow, like that of the Catawba itself,
up there among the mountain dells;
now r coursing its way between its flow
ery banks, now’ bubbling over tiny cas
cades and now flowing smoothly on to
the ocean. There are several very
original and pretty conceits in the lines
which we have italicised. W hat is pret
tier than —
“ Where willows weep and to the gale,
Their sighing brunches fling ?’
Or that —
“ Where Eve her mystic mantle weaves.”
The closing lines of this poetical
bijou, strike us as equal to many ad
mired passages in the best of our Na
tive poets’ attempts:
“ And when from off its native shore,
It greets the evening star no more :
Where Eden's sunny waters pour,
’Twill fadeless bloom in heaven.”
THE FLOWER OF CATAWBA.
Down in a fair romantic vale
Where willows weep, and to the gale
Their sighing branches fling,
A peerless flower unfolds its leaves
When Eve her mystic mantle weaves,
And twilight waves its wing.
And long, bright sunny years have flown
O’er its sweet head, and each one strewn
On its pure leaves fresh bloom,
And many a soft and balmy breeze,
From off Catawba’s flow’ry leas,
Has breathed on it perfume.
And never since that golden morn,
When earliest flowers of time were born,
’Neath Eden’s cloudless sky,
Has evening shed its weeping dew,
Or stars looked from their homes of blue
On one, with it could vie.
For that sweet flower the silv’ry wave
That weeps beneath the Indian’s grave
And echoes still his song,
As it sweeps onward to the sea,
Pours strains of plaintive melody,
Its winding shores along.
To it was at its natal hour
By her who reigns in Flora’s bower,
Immortal beauty given,
And when from off its native shore,
It greets the evening star no more: :
Where Eden’s sunny waters pour,
’Twill fadeless bloom in heaven.

hide^anlTseek.
From the Saxon Dialect.
I hide myself behind a tree ;
Wilhelm seeks his little dove—
Seeks in vain, then gaily cries,
“ Where art thou hidden, darling ?”
I give no answer: on he goes,
Searching every leafy bush—
Seeks in vain, then gravely cries,
“ Where art thou hidden, Esther?”
Still no answer: now he fumes,
Will no longer seek for me—
“ Nay, if thou wilt not show thyself,
I’ll leave thee, foolish maiden !”
Then he marches off in scorn ;
Out I creep and follow him,
Mimicking his stately steps,
And smiling at his anger.
Now he stops and looks behind,
Sees me, clasps me to his breast—
Foolish maiden now no more,
Nor Esther, but sweet darling !

THE BOSTONIAN.
The Bostonian is strongly impressed
with the idea that his city is the par
ticular nucleus of all that there is great
on this side of the Atlantic. He looks
upon other American towns as small
planetary bodies revolving about the
centre ol Boston Common, and deriv
ing most of their light, heat, and
strength from Cambridge University,
lanueil Hall, and Boston Harbour.
He affects a wonderful degree of king
ship with the English; and keeps up
the connection by sharp shirt collars,
short-waisted coats, and yellow gaiters.
He is apt to put himself upon English
stilts to look down upon the rest of the
American world, which he regards com
placently through the English eye-glass.
He does not so much pity the rest of
the American world, as he patronizes
and encourages. Ills literary tastes
being formed in the focus of western
learning, are naturally correct and pro
found. He squats himself upon the
Boston formulas of judgment, from
which nothing can shake him, and puts
out his feelers of opinion, as you may
have seen a lazy, bottle-tailed’ bug try
his whereabouts, without once stirring,
by means of his glutinous and many
jointed antennae.
lie likes to try you in discussion, in
the course of which it will be next to
impossible to tell him anything that he
did not previously know; and you will
prove a rare exception if he does not
tell you many things that you never
knew before—unless, indeed you have
been in Boston. II is stock of praises
is uncommonly small, and principally
reserved for home consumption; things
are done well , only in Boston: though
they are sometimes creditably done in
other parts of the world.
His superiority in arts, letters, sci
ence, and religion, of which he will
endeavour strenuously to convince one,
is attributable partially to education,
but mainly to his being a Bostonian.
W hatever idea, or system of ideas,
whether in politics, arts, or literature,
” hich had not its beginning, or has not
had its naturalization in Boston, is a
fungus growth upon the great body of
American opinion, which must of ne
cessity wither and perish.
The Bostonian entertains the some
what singular notion that whatever he
has never observed, is not worth ob
serving; and that the very few matters
ot fact and fancy scattered about the
country, which are unbeknown to Bos
tonians, are not worth their knowing.
This gives him, under all ordinary cir
cumstances, a self-possession and dig
nity of address which is quite remark
able. He does not conceive it possible
that classical scholarship should thrive
at all, out of sight of the belfry of the
old South Church; and such chance
citations from classic authors, as may
may appear on pages printed in other
parts of the country, he considers filch
ed in some way out of Boston books.
He regards all those making any pro
fession of learning, out of his own lim
its, very much as an under pedagogue
will eye a promising boy of the “first
form ” who occasionally hears recita
tions.
He plumes himself specially on his
precision and exactness; you will never
see a Bostonian with the lower button
of his waistcoat uncaught, and he is
uniformly punctual to his dinner hour.
Vivacity he condems from principle —
and the best of all principle, which is—
Boston principle. Even in religion, he
does not recognize the hot zeal of earn
est intention, nor does he run towards
the lustre of ceremonial. He is coy
to acknowledge even the personnel of
a Divine Mediation; his dignity does
not like to admit a superior between
himself and the Highest. The com
parative chilliness of the Unitarian
faith suits the evenness of his temper;
and when he casts loose from this
unique doctrine, which he to many a
pure and holy faith, he runs inevitably
into the iciness of Pantheism.
In politics lie is a Bostonian. He
speaks lightly of the French, and of
French Republicanism, and indeed of
most sorts of Republicanism which
are not reducible immediately or re
motely to Boston Republicanism. —
He has a very tender charity, too, for
the gross legal tyranny of his ancestral
English; and such of his sympthies as
ramify beyond his Pontine marshes, or
the Roxbury plains, clasp stoutly round
the mosses and blotches of the royal
oak of Britain.
In manners, he is true to his faith;
he walks stiffly, dances stiffly, and bows
stiffly. Like the Englishman, he as
similates little with those among whom
he may chance to fall: he guards his
integrity by exception. His idea of
elegance centres in precision; and the
ease that he possesses is never more
than familiarity. He is, like the \ ir
ginian, usually of an “old family;”
whoever heard of any other sort of
families in the Old Dominion, or the
“Cradle of Liberty ?”
The Bostonian sneers at the riffraff
of New York society, and will some
times put a clever edge upon his sneers.
He is the favourite of such ladies as
love bookish talk, and who will not
worry at an awkward polka. He is
quicker at a bargain than a waltz, and
he counts his town-talent a fair offset for
the money and the grac *s of our belles.
A lui le talent —a nos femmes la for
tune; tout cela pent se marier. He
reads the Boston Atlas , and Boston
books; he sighs for Boston Common;
and lunches on Boston crackers.
All this, it must be understood, my
dear Fritz, is predicated upon such
stray specimens as may be seen here
and there wandering down our streets,
or adorning the corners at our balls.
That there is very much worthiness,
that is here unnoted, about the race
which belongs to Boston, the world
knows. And if I were to make a par
ticularity that should have its point, I
would say that the admirable police,
and the municipal regulations of the
sister city, its well-ordered pavements
and well-swept streets, are worthy of
all commendation, and much copy.—
And the Bostonian may well boast,
that while our City Fathers are lazily
drinking their tea in sight of our city
desolation, that snug Eastern Seaport
is gaining upon us by forced marches
in all the commoner and most comfort
able types of an advanced civilization.
As to the vagrant Bostonian, with
whom 1 began, and who brings his doc
trinas, and his antiquum with him, it is
sincerely- to be hoped that he will in
time fall away from the greatness of
his unbelief; and be willing to credit
that eyes, heart, tongue, and brain have
been mercifully vouchsafed to people
in various parts of the world, by the
same kind Providence which has so
overstocked Boston Town.

THE CAPTAIN’S WHISKERS.
A certain Swiss captain of grenadiers,
whose company had been cashiered,
determined to get a wife; and, as he
had no fortune of his own, he reasoned,
and reasoned very rightly, that it was
quite necessary his intended should
have enough for them both. The cap
tain was one of those heroes to whom
the epithet of hectoring blade might
readily be applied. He was nearly six
feet high, and wore a long sword, and
a fierce cocked hat; add to which, that
he was allowed to have the most mar
tial pair of whiskers of any grenadier
in the company to which he belonged.
To curl these whiskers, to comb and
twist them round his fore-finger, and to
admire them in the glass, formed the
chief occupation and delight of his life.
After a little diligent attention and
artful inquiry, a young lady was found,
exactly such a one as we may well sup
pose a person with his views would be
glad to find. She was tolerably hand
some, not more than three-and-twenty,
with a good fortune; and what was the
best of the story 7 , this fortune was en
tirely at her own disposal.
Our captain, who thought now or
never was the time, having first found
the means to introduce himself as a
suitor, was incessant in his endeavours
to carry his cause. His tongue was
eternally running in praise of her su
per-superlative, never-to-be-described
charms, and in hyperbolical accounts of
the flames, daggers and darts by which
his lungs, liver and midriff were burnt
up, transfixed and gnawed away. One
day, as he was ranting, kneeling and
beseeching the lady- to send him on an
errand to pluck the diamond from the
nose of the Great Mogul, and present
it to her; or suffer him to steal the Em
press of China’s enchanted slipper, or
the Queen of Sheba's cockatoo, as a
small testimony of what he would un
dertake to prove his affection, she, after
a little hesitation, addressed him thus:
“ The protestations which you daily
make, captain, as well as what you say
at present, convince me that there is
nothing you would not do to oblige
me; I, therefore, do not find much dif
ficulty in telling you that I am willing
to be yours, if you will perform one
thing which I shall request of you.”
“Tell me!” cried our son of gun
powder, “ tell me what it is! Though,
before you speak, be certain it is al

ready done. Is it to find the seal of
Solomon? to catch the phoenix? or
draw y our chariot to church with uni
corns? What is the impossible act
that 1 will not undertake ?”
“No, captain,” replied the fair one,
“ I shall enjoin nothing impossible. —
The thing 1 desire you can do with the
utmost ease—it will not cost you five
minutes’ trouble; and yet, were it not
for your so positive assurances, from
what 1 have observed, I should almost
doubt your compliance.”
“Ah, madam!” returned he, “ wrong
not your slave thus; deem it not pos
sible that he who eats happiness, and
drinks life, from the light of your eyes,
can even demur the thousandth part of
a semi-second to execute your omnipo
tent behests! Speak! say! what, em
press of my parched frame, what must
I perform ?”
“Nay, for that matter, it is a mere
trifle. Only to cut off’ your whiskers,
captain, that’s all.”
“Madam!”—[Be so kind, reader, as
to imagine the captain’s utter astonish
ment.] —“My whiskers! cut off’ my
whiskers! Pardon me, madam! Any
thing else, —anything that mind can or
cannot imagine, or tongue describe.—
But, for my- whiskers! you must grant
me a salvo there!”
“ And why so, good captain ? Surely,
any- gentleman who had but the tithe of
the passion you express, would not
stand on such a trifle?”
“ A trifle, madam ! My whiskers a
trifle. No madam; my whiskers are
no trifle. Had I but a single regiment
of fellows whiskered like me, 1 my-self
would be the Grand Turk of Constan
tinople. My whiskers, madam, are the
last thing 1 should have supposed y-ou
would have wished me to sacrifice. —
There is not a woman, maid, wife, or
widow, that does not admire my whisk
ers !”
“May be so, sir; but if you marry
me, you must cut them off.”
“And is there no other way ? Must
I never hope to be happy with you,
unless I part with my whiskers?”
“Never!”
“Why, then, madam, farewell. I
would not part with a single hair of my
whiskers, if Catharine, the Czarina, em
press of all the Russians, would make
me the King of the Calinucs; and so
good morning to you.”
Had all young ladies, in like circum
stances, equal penetration, they might
generally rid themselves, with equal
ease, of the coxcombs by whom they
are pestered.

THE PIG AND PUPPY.
During an election canvass, no mat
ter where, a raw-boned Kentuckian as
sumed the stand,and after looking round
the crowd, began thus :
“ Feller citizens,” he said, “ 1 want
a chance to put that feller that last
spoke—the candidate for Congress, 1
mean—through a course of sprouts.”
The crowd laughed and cheered, for
they saw the Kentuckian was an'origi
nal.
“ He is one thing in this county,”
said the speaker, “ and another thing in
t’other. I’m not good at speakihg, fel
ler citizens, but his position puts me in
mind of a little circumstance which hap
pened in my neighborhood in Kentucky,
some time ago, which 1 must tell you.
You all remember what a perfect ma
nia prevailed some years ago on the
subject of Durham calves, Berkshire
pigs, South Down sheep, &c. Well, I
had a neighbour by- the name of Mar
tin, who was an uncommon clever phy
sician, and an importer of fine stock.—
One day the Doctor stopped to get his
horse shod at neighbour bird’s, the
blacksmith, who lived about two miles
from the Doctor’s house. The Doctor
commenced talking about his beautiful
Berkshire pigs, and told the blacksmith,
in a fit of liberality, that he would give
him a pig out of the next litter that ‘Su’
had.”
“ In the course of two months or such
a matter, the Doctor called at the shop
and told neighbour Bird that ‘ Su’ had
had a fine litter, and to send and get
his pig. So Bird posts his man Bob
off with his wife’s large willow basket
to get the pig. Between Bird’s and
Martin’s, Sam Smith, who was a great
quiz, kept a little grocery, and seeing
Bob coming post haste on his master’s
horse, old Tom, with the basket on his
arm, lie sang out, ‘ Halloo, Bob, where
are you going in such a hurry thismorn
ing ?’ ‘ 1 is gwine to Massa Doctor
Martins’ to get Tom’s Buckshur pig,
what Massa Doctor promise Massa
Tom de las’ time he shod he hos,’ said
the negro, as he reined in his animal.
‘Well, Bob, yon must stop as you come,
back and let me see the pig.’ 4 Dat 1
will, Massa Sam ; dat 1 will,’ and away
he went, at the top of old Tom’s speed.
In less than an hour Bob returned with
a genuine swine, and alighting at the
grocery- he lifted the cover of the bas
ket, and to the astonished gaze of the
grocery man, who imagined a Berkshire
to be something more than a mere
hog, exhibited a very beautiful speci
men of a jet black pig. An idea struck
Sam Smith to play a joke on Bob, and
knowing his propensity to imbibe, told
him to go in the grocery and get a dram.
While Bob was gone Sam Smith ran
round the back of the house and cot a
little black pup nigh about the same
heft, and took the pig out of the basket
and put the pup in. When Bob came
out and mounted his nag, Sam Smith
handed him the basket and offhewent.
On arriving at home the blacksmith
asked him if he had got the pig. ‘Yes,
massa, and a werry line pig he be, too,’
said Bob lifting up the cover; ‘black
as a coal,’ when, to the utter astonish
ment of Bob and Bird, there lay a lit
tle black curly puppy. ‘ls that a
Berkshire pig ?’ asked the blacksmith,
in amazement; ‘ Why, it is a pup, not
a pig !’ ‘ Take him back, sir,’said Bird,
highly indignant, ‘and tell Dr. Martin
that 1 don’t want to be fooled with his
puppies, and if he don’t want to give
me a Berkshire pig, to say so.’ ”
Bob started back, and naturally
enough stopped at the grocery to relate
his mishap to Sam Smith, who heard
him out with a countenance expressive
of wonder, at the same time doing his
best to control his increasing desre to
burst into fits. 4 Well, get dow-n, Bob,’
said the grocer,‘and take another dram.’
Bob didn’t require a second invite, and
while he was getting his ‘bald face,’ the
grocer took the pup from the basket,
and put back the pig. ‘Massa Sam,’
said Bob, coming out to mount his
horse. ‘I am mighty obfusticated ’bout
dis pig. Fust 1 tink him nig, I know
lie is pig fust, but den I know he is pup
too. Arn’t you sartin, Massa Sam, he
was pig fust ?’ asked Bob, as he mount
ed his crittur. ‘l’ll swear to it,’ replied
Smith, and aw ay Bob rode for the Doc
tor’s.
On arriving at the house, Bob deliv
ered his message, but the Doctor seem
ed somewhat incredulous as to the truth
of the story, Bob w ith a flourish of in
sulted veracity-, opened the lid of the
basket, when lo’ there was the identical
pig that he had started with. Bob stood
transfixed, and with eyes protruding,
and mouth open, remarked, 4 ’for God,
’taint no use, Massa, he be pup or pig,
jus’ as he pleases.’ ”
There are a good many politicians,
now-a-days, like, the. Berkshire pig.
THE CALIFORNIA NEGRO’S STORY.
“ Lorra mighty, massa,! you don’t
know how I was skeered yesterday.”
44 How so ?” I asked.
44 Well; John, who liv-esalittle back
here, asked me jistto fetch up his horse,
which comes down here a feedin’, in a
little opening which turns off the road
out dar. So about sun-down 1 takes
my tin pan and goes down to look for
im. Well, as I went along, jest afore
1 came to de opening, I tort I’d try to
dance a jig, what the sailor men used
to sing and dance down at de fort. So
I begin—tink a tink, on de tin pan. and
singing de words—
‘ Did you eber see de debil,
Shubble grabble, shubble grabble—
Wid a w-ooden iron shubble,
And an iron wooden ladle?’
44 All dis time I was lookin’ down to
see if 1 kep de step. Den jist as 1 turn
into de opening, I begin agin—
‘ Did you ever see de debbil,’ &c.
44 O, lorra, massa! 1 hear something
growl, an’ 1 look up an’ dar was free of
’em —free of the orfullest big barrs ,
makiu’ mutton ob dat hoss. I heard
de Oregon fellers say, when you meets
a burr, you’ve got to keep on doin’ jis
what you’ve been doin’ on afore, ordey
w ill pitch into you. So 1 tries to keep
on singiu’ and dancin’, but my heart
was up in my mouf; an’ my feet was
heavy- as lead ; an’ all I could do was
to keep tink a tink a little on de pan.
At last l shuv dis foot a little back, an’
den todder; an’ bymby, l got a little
bref to sing—
‘ Did you eber, did you eber —’
44 All dis while, dem drefful barrs
were looking at me, wid de blood run
liin’ out ob dar moufs. Well, massa,
1 kept on tink a tink ; did you eber ?
an’ shuv back, faster and faster, until 1
slip by- de corner ob de clearin’; an’
den, massa,if you eber did seelightnin’
come down a dead pin tree, you see
how- dis nigger streak it. I run all de
way to John’s house, and dar l fell down
mos’ dead. Well, dar 1 lay puffin’
and blowin’ till John come out an’ giv
me a mouful ob brandy ; an’ bymby, 1
got bref enuf to tell him about it, an’
he’s goin’ to get folks to turn out for a

Leaving off 44 Schnaps.”—“ Vel,

(Brlnlir us Wit.
Wit in Texts. —A young preacher
in the time of James L, being appoint
ed to hold forth before the Vice-Chan
cellor and heads of colleges of Oxford,
chose for his text, 44 W hat! cannot ye
watch one hour ?” which carried a per
sonal allusion, as the Vice-Chancellor
happened to be one of those heavy
headed persons, who cannot attend
church without falling asleep. The
preacher repeated his text in an em
phatic manner at the end of every di
vision of his discourse, the unfortunate
Vice-Chancellor as often awoke; and
this happened so often that at last all
present could very well see the joke.
The Vice-Chancellor was so nettled at
the disturbanee lie had met with, and j
thetalk it occasioned, that he complain-1
ed to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
who immediately sent for the young
clergyman to reprove him for what he
hud done. In the course of the confer
ence which ensued between the arch
bishop and the preacher, the latter gave
so many proofs of his wit and good
sense, that his grace procured him the
honour of preaching before the king.—
Here also he had his joke. He gave
out his text in these words—James the
First and Sixth., ‘‘waver not;” which
of course everybody present saw to be
a stroke at the indecisive character of
the monarch. James, equally quick
sighted, exclaimed, “he is at me al
ready.” But he was, upon the whole,
so well pleased with this clerical wag,
as to make him one of his chaplains in
ordinary. lie afterwards went to Ox
ford. and preached a farewell sermon
on the text, “Sleep on now and take
your rest.”— Church and State Gazette.
Every Day Absurditics. —To at
tempt to borrow- money on the plea of
extreme poverty.
To ask the publisher of anew news
paper, how- many copies he sells per
week.
To ask a wine merchant how old his
wine is.
To lose money on horse-racing, and
then lose your temper.
To get tipsy, and then complain of
a headache next morning.
To attempt to borrow money at a
loan society by giving a responsible
person for security.
To eat a hearty dinner of fish, and
call it fasting.
Not to go to bed when your are
tired and sleepy because it is not bed
time.
To render a man a service volunta
rily, and expect him to be grateful for
it.
Fancying a thing is cheap because a
low- price is asked for it.
*yA man very much intoxicated
was sent to prison. “ Why don’t you
bail him out?” inquired a bystander of
his friend. “ Bale him out!” exclaimed
the other, “you couldn’t pump him
out!”
Could not reach the Door. —An
Irishman some time ago was commit
ted to the House of Correction, for a
misdemeanor, and sentenced to work
on the tread-wheel for the space of a
month. He observed, at the expira
tion of his task: —“What a grate dale
of fatigue and botheration it would
have saved us poor crathers, if they
had but invinted it to go by stheeme,
like all other water-mills; for, burn
me, if I have not been afther going up
stairs for this four weeks, but could
not reach the chamber-door at all, at
all.”
Gloria Mundi Fumus. —“ I remem
ber, “says Mr. Copland, (lecturing
before the Royal Dublin Society, on
tobacco,) “when 1 was quite young,
seeing a line print, by one of the old
masters, of a burly Dutchman, loung
ing in a capacious arm chair, “blowing
a cloud,” from his beloved pipe. Un
derneath was the motto, Gloria annuli
fumus” 1 asked my father what it
meant? “Why,” “said he, “it has two
meanings: first, ‘The glory of the world
is smoke;’ and second, Smoking is the
glory of the world.’ ” This was sixty
years ago, but l never forgot the
lesson.”
Religion and Gravey.—“ What a
strange thing it is,” remarked a French
man, after travelling through our coun
try from Boston to New-Orleans, “that
you should have two hundred differ
ent religions and but one gravy.”
We suppose Americans are a little
behind the “frogs” in the culinary art,
but monsieur should remember that
one of our national axioms proclaims
that “What is sauce for goose is sauce
for gander.”
Opinion on the Fashions. —“My
son,” said an old turbaned Turk one
day, taking his child by the hand in
the streets of Cairo, and pointing out
to him on the opposite side a French
man just imported in all the elegance
of Parisian costume, “My son, look
there! if you ever forgot God and the
Prophet, you may come to look like
that '/”

JOSEPH GILLOTT’S STEEL PENS.
MANUFACTURER’S WAREHOUSE,
91 JOHN-STREET, NEW YORK.
A LARGE stock of these well known PENS constantly
on hand, for sale as above.
CAUTION.-Certain PRETENDED MANUFAC
TURERS of Steel Pens, having adopted Joseph Gil
i.ott’h styi.e or Label, his mode of putting up his
Pens, and also Designating Numbers, he desires to
give the following
NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
That all genuine packages or boxes of Joseph Gil
lott’s Pens have a sac simile of his signature on the
reverse side. None other are genuine. This caution espe
cially refers to his original No. 3U3, the great popularity of
which has caused it to be imitated, and the number adopt
ed by a host of pretended makers.
Joseph Gillott would further advise the public that,
in all cases where his Numbers and the phraseology of his
Labels are adopted by the parties above alluded to, the
Pens are not made by him, although asserted to be.
An experience of thirty years has enabled Mr. Gillott to
bring his Steel Pens to the highest state or perfec
tion, and the liberal patronage which he lias long enjoyed
at the hands of theAmerican public,will incite him to con
tinued exertion to maintain the favor which he has ac
quired. HENRY OWEN, Agent.
