(Sms from tljr 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. Yours, &c., ‘ • From the Hornet’s Nest. 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. Mecklenberg, N. C., 1850. P. 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 ! ZlAterary World. Iflisrrllntnj. From the Lorgnette. 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 SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE. 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. ifnnmtnwrin frrnm mbummbbmmmb——■—mMMWM—■— 51 Column (k'rrrtrii hi fm. 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.

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.
