There's a land that W'e dream of, when fancy is free, Distant and dim though the vision may bc-» YVliere the faithful sV true after sorrowful years, Shall meet in delight,though they parted in tears. Here love, when ’tis brightest, is shaded with core. But distrust and despondence can never come there — And ’tis sweet to believe of the absent we iove, If we miss them below, we shall meet them above. Alas! th ’.re is sorrow and douht on the way— The kind and the careless in danger mav stiav And so dark be tlnur maze, and so dismal their fall, That .Ylei ey in vain may entreat their recall. Can you fail, with a land of such promise in view? YVill you leave, for the evil, the good and the true? To reach that far country, O, will you not strive, YY'here never the feet ofthe slothful arrive? O for that region, that home of 'he blest, VY'here the wretched are glad, tSL the wear)’ at rest; YY’here sorrow finds balm, and innocence bliss— O for that world—l am weary of this. Translation ofthe celebrated and much admired Spanish song, “MDARE UXOS O JOCOLOS VI.” Mamma, I've sean two charming eyes Y\ 7 ith sweet expression beaming, My bosom heav’d unwonted sighs Until my heart became the prize, Os looks with mischief teeming. Indeed, Mamma, for tuem I die, I doat upon them dearly; l would 1 could, but cannot fly From lo >k., that every bliss supply, By gazing on them merely. Those eyes 1 thought of jetty hue YY'cro slaves of mine for ever, But through my heart their glances flew, ’Twas then their final force 1 knew, Aud shall forget them never. But now, Mamma, too late I find— That I of hope was dreaming; For when they smiled most bright and kind Entrancing all my love sick mind— Alas', they were but scheming. A MOORE-1811 MELODY. Oh! give me not unmeaning smiles, Though worldly cloiulj may fly before them; But let me see the sweet blue isles. (if radiant eyes when Tears wash o’er them Though small the fount where they begis, They form—’tis thou-lit in many a sonnet— A Flood to drown our sense,of sin; But oh! Love's ark still floats upon it, Then give me tors—old hide notone; The best affections are but flowers, That I’iint beneath the fervid sun, And lungubh once a day For showers. Yet peril lurks in eve ty gem— For tears are worse than swords in slaughter; And man is still subdued by them. A . humming birds are shot with water' itUsccUaiuous. Yankee Courtship. —After my sleigh ride last winter, and the slippery trick I Mas served by Patty Bean, nobody would suspect me of hankering after the women again in a hurry. To hear me curse and swear, and rail out against the whole fem inine gender, you would have taken it for granted that 1 never should so much as look at one of them again to all eternity. ()! but I was wicked —“darn and blast their eyes,” says I—“blame their skins— torment and darn their hearts, and darn them to daniation,” Finally, 1 took ail oath, and swore that if ever I meddled, or had any dealings with them again, (in the speaking line I mean) I wished 1 might be hung and chunked. But swearing off from yvojnen, and then going into a meeting house, chock full (d* gals, all shining and glistening in tifeir Sunday clothes, and clean faces— is like swearing oft' from liquor and going into a grog shop. It's all smoke! 1 held out, and kept firm to niv oath, for three M’hole Sundays—forenoons afternoons and intermissions complete. On the fourth there were strong symptoms of a change cd’ weather. A chap about my size was seen on the wav to the meeting house, with anew patent hat on, his head hung by the ears on a shirt collar, his cravat had a pudding in it, and bran ched out in front into a double bow-knot, lie carried a straight back and stiff neck, as a man ought to, when he has his best, clothes on; and every time lie spit, he sprung Ii s body forward like* a jack knife, in order to sliooi clear cd' his ruffles. Squire Jones’ pew is next !mt two to mine; and when I stand up to prayers. ' and take »ay ru.it-tail under my arm, aud turn my hack to the minister, I naturally looked right straight tit Sally Jones. Now, Sully has got a face not to be grinned at I ill a fog. Indeed, as regards beauty, some folks think site ean pull an even yoke with Fatty Bean. For niy part 1 think there is not nmcii hoot between them. Any how, they are so nigh match ed, that they hated and despised each oth er, like rank poison, ever since they were school girls. ’Squire Jones had got the evening fire on, and set himself down to reading the great bible, when lie heard a tap at his door: “walk in—well Jain;, how d’ve do! get out Pompey”—“pretty well, 1 thank ye, ’squire, and how do you do?—why so ns to he crawlin—ve ugly beast, will vou hold ver yap—haul up a chair and sit down. * * * How do you do, Mrs. Jones?” “Oh, middtin, how’s yer mamma? Don’t forget the mat there, Mr. Beedle.” This put me in mind, that 1 had been off soun dings several times in the long muddy lane; and my hoots were in a. sweet pickle. It was now old captain Jone’s turn, the grandfather.—Being roused from a doze, by the bustle and racket, he opened both his eyes, at first with wonder and aston ishment; at hist lie began to halloo so loud, that you might hear him a mile; for he takes it for granted that every body is just exactly ns deaf as he is. Who is it? I say, who in the world is it? Mrs. Jones going close to his ear, screamed out, “its Johnny Beeille.” 110, Johnny Beedle. 1 remember he was one summer at the siege of Boston”—“No, no, father, bless your heart, that was his grandfather, that has been dead and gone these twenty years.” “Ho, hut where does he come from?” “Down town.”—“Ho—and what does he follow tor a livin?” And he did not stop ask ing questions, after this sort, till all the particulars of the Beedle family were pub lished and proclaimed in Mrs. Jones’best sclireeeli. He then sunk hack into lus dose again. The dog stretched himself before one andiron; and the eat squat down before the other. Silence eainc on by degrees, like a calm snow storm, till nothing >vns heard but a cricket under the hearth, keeping time with a sappy vellow biroh forestick. Sally sat up, prim as if she were pinned to the chair-back; her hands crossed genteely upon iter lap, ail'd her eyes looking straight into the tire. Mammy Jones tried to straighten herself, too, and laid her hands across in her l ip. But, they would nos lay still. It was full twenty-four hours, since they had done ti ny work, and they were out of all patience with keeping Sunday. Do what she would to keep them quiet, they would bounce up, now and then, and go through the motions, in spite of the fourth com mandment. For iny part, I sat looking very much like a fool. The more I tried to say something the more my tongue stuck last; I put my right log over the left, and said “hem!” then l changed, & put the left leg over the right. It was no use—the silence kept coining on thicker and thicker; the drops of sweat began to crawl all over me; I got my eye upon my hat, hanging on a peg, on the road to the door; —and at this moment the old captain, all at once sung out “Johnny Beedle.” It sounded like a clap of thun der, and 1 started right up end. “Johnny Beedle you’ll never handle sich a drum stick as your father did, if ver live to the age of Metluisalee. He would toss up his drumstick, and while it was vviiirlin in the air, take off a gill o’ rum, and then ketch it as it come down, with out losin a stroke in the tune. What d’ye think ot that ha? But scull your chair round close alongside o’mo, so yer can hear—there—so.—Now what have you come arter?” “J-a-ter? O, just tn'-.in a walk, —pleasant weather, 1 guess—l mean just to see how ye all do.” “Ho, that’s another lie—you’re come acourtin; John ny Beedle, you’re arter our Sal—say now, do you want to marry, or only to court?” This was what I call a choaker. Poor Sally made hut one jump, and lauded in the middle of the kitchen; and -then she skulked into a dark corner, till the old man alter laughing himself into a whooping cough, was put to lied. Then came apples and cider, and the ice being broken, plenty of chat with nianiiny Jones, about thr-minister and the satmon. 1 agreed with her to a nicety upon all the points of doctrine; but I had forgot the text, and all the heads of dis course hut six. Then she teased and tor mented me to tell who I accounted the best singer in the gallery that day. But, ilium —there was no getting that out of me. “Praise to the face, is often dis grace” says 1, throwing a sly squint at Sally. At last Mrs. Jones lighted t’other candle, and after charging Sally to look well to the fire, she led the way to bed, and the squire gathered up his shoes and stockings, and followed. Sally and I were left sitting a good vard apart, honest measure. For fear of get ting tongue-tied again, I set right in with a steady stream of talk. I told her all the particulars about the weather that was past, and also made some pretty ’cute guesses, at w hat it was like to he in fu ture; at hrst I gave a hitch up with my chair, at every hill stop—then growing saticv, I repeated it at every comma and semi-colon, and at last it was hitch, hitch, hitch, and 1 planted myself by the side of “I swow, Sally, you looked so plague handsome to-day, that I wanted to eat you up.” Pshaw git along vou”—savs she. My hand had crept along somehow upon its fingers, anil liegan to seraoe ac quaintance with hers; she sent it home a guiu w itli a desperate jerk. Try it again no lietter luck; “why Miss Jones,vou’re getting opstropelous, a little old tnaidish I gucss.” Hands off is fair play Mr. Beedle.’ It is a good sign to find a girl sulky. I knew where the shoe pinched; :t was that are Patty Bean business; so I uent to work to persuade her that I never liau any notion after Patty, and to prove it 1 fell to running her down at a great rate. Sally could not help chiming in with me, and I rather guess Miss Pattv suffered a few. I now not onlj- got hold of her hand without opposition, blit managed to slip an arm round her waist. But there was no satisfying me; so I must go to poking out my lips after a buss—l guess I rued it—she fetched me a slap on the face that ma le me sec stars, and my cars rung like a brass kettle for a quarter of an hour. I was forced to laugh at the joke, though out. ot the wrong side of my mouth, w liich gave my face something the look of a gridiron. 3 he battle now began the regular way. “OlSally give me a kiss and be done with it now.” “I won’t, so there let me alone.” “Fll take it whether or no,” “Do if you dare.” And at it I went, rough and tumble; an odd destruction of starch now commen ced; the bow of my cravat was squat up in halt a shake; at the next bout, smash went shirt collar, and at the same time some ofthe head fastenings gave way, and down came Sally’slmir in a flood liken mill dam broke loose, carrying away half a dozen combs—one dig of Sally,s elbow, and my blooming ruffles melted down to a dish cloth. But she had no time to boast —soon her neck tackling began to shiver, jt parted at the throat, whorali, came a wholeschool of blue and white heads, scam pering and running races every way about the floor. By rLe hokev, if Sally Jones isn’t real grit, there is no snakes, She fought fair, however, I must own, and neither tried to'bite or to scratch—and when she could tight no longer, for want ofhrcath, she yielded handsomely. Her arms fell down by tier side, her head hack over her chair, her eyes closed, and there lay her little plump mouth, all in the air. Lord! Did you ever see a hawk pounce upon a you rig robin—a humble bee upon a clover top?—l say nothing. Consarn it, now a hnss will crack of a still frosty night; Vrs. Jones was about half way between asleep and awake. “Theregoes my great yeast bottle,” said she to herself, “hurst into twenty thousand pieces, and inv bread is ali dough again.” The upshot ofthe matter, I fell in love with Sally Jones, head over ears. Every Sandy night, rain or shine, finds me rap ping at ’squire Jones door, and twenty times have I licen within a hair’s breadth of popping the question. But now 1 have made a final resolve, and if I live until the next Sundy night, and if I don’t get chunked in the trial, Sally Jones will hear thunder. —John Aeal. FROM THE LOMION TIMES. TIIE LATE AMERICAN CABINET. There has hcen a great deal of specu lation in the English, and a great lack of information in the American newspapers, on the cause of the sudden disolution of the late Jackson Cabinet. No conspiracy lias been discovered to burn the Capital ar to blow up the Union, in which the President and his official helpers could take sides, —no new expedition has been planned or projected against the Indian tribes, m which the conscience or human ity of the Ministers could lead them to dissent from their Chief, —and neither the uholution nor the increase of the tariff duties on-foreign manufactures had been brought forward as a Ihhic of contention. The twenty-and-odd states of the confed eration reposed in perfect safety under the Jackson sceptre, and no ndverturous*Aa ron Bur had risen to divide them by at tempting to usurp the honors of kingship. The different Ministers in the friendly letters of resignation to the President, be ginning “My dear Sir,” never hint at a nv grave question of foreign or domestic politics which could separate them from each other or from an indulgent leader. What, then, could be the cause of their precipitate desolation? What, cause, as now explained, affords a curious illustra tion of American manners, and shows that our Republican brethern west of the Atlantic are not exempted from those pri vate influence in the management of their public affairs, which in their severer moods hey ascribe exclusively to the old Courts ‘ f Europe. A woman was the cause of the Trojan war t and the slighted preten tions of a minister's wife occasioned the overthrow of President Jackson’s Cabi net. ‘What dire i fiance from trifling cause 6 springs What mightv contests ri«e from little things!» It would appear that for some reason or other (into which we forbear to inquire) the lady was sent —not to Troy, but to Conventry, bv ber fair co-eqtienls in the official circle of Washington, and that, be ing supported by her husband, ns lie was in doty bound, she formed a faction p gainst ber rivals.

July 1(5, 1831; Dear Brother'. —-The present stale of affairs in the bounds ol the Cherokee mis sion makes it necessary to hasten on tins my third quarterly report. Receiving the painful intiligencc, while on a visit into Y\ est Tennessee, ofthe arrest and shame fully treatment of the llev. J. i.

Tins meeting Mas j held in that of ihe nation uhere Method ism was first established <uuong the Cher j okees. The holy fuibhuth Mas a sacra mental occasion, on uluch numy nappy j souls rejoiced in God their fruviour. | -Methodists and Presbyterians on that j day’ met in Christian love and uiiiou u rouud tlie table ot their common Lord, and with mourmully glad hearts com memorated the siiiierins and death of Rod’s eternal Sou aud man’s ever blessed Redeemer. It was truely a refreshing season, and my own spirit was revived u mong tlio*o unwavering disciples of Jesus, I obtained another school for the Rev. J. \Y . Haulier within tlie charter ot Ala bama, who, tlie second tune, nad to leave lus station at Sulobuoye to avoid an ar rest bv the guard. On the itli nist. myself and the Rev. Martin Wells, from the Chattooga sta tion, reached tlie residence of urotlier Trott, when we were informed that lie was again arrested by a detachment of the guards on the proceeding day for the same offence , and had left m ord lor me to come and see him. Early on the Bth, 1 mid brother Wells started inquest ol our captured brother, and about 1(1 o’clock ne met. the guard, with the prisoners, on a line of march for headquarters, having in company with brother Trott the Rev. Mr. i Worcester,a Presbyterian missionary, ar rested also for residing within the charter of the state, and dragged off from a sick family. These two brethern and an In di.m, chained by the neck to the baggage wagon, Mere driven on foot before the mounted horsemen, as part of their pun ishment inflicted on them for what the guard call their obstinacy. 1 rode up to Col. N < Ison, sub-commander ofthe Geor gia guard, mid politely asked permission ;to speak to the prisoners. He told me [ i could do so as they advanced, provided 1 talked loud enough to be heard by the guard. In our conversation I asked brother Trott if lie had been chained the proceed ing night. He answered in the af firmative. Said 1, “Have they any law to chain a prisoner when they have sufli cient reason to believe that he would not run away?” He said, “I suppose they have no law for il: hut such are their or ders,” adding that the guard were more inclined to lenity than even their orders Mould allow’ them. I told him I had no doubt of that, but remarked, “It seems they act more from orders than from lair, or that alien they Manta law they can make one,’ quoting ii. the last expression m hat | am informed was the language used by Col. Sanford, the eiuef commander, some of the guard then began then to threaten me with an arrest, if I did not mind liom’ I talked. 1 told them I had simply express i ed my opinion as a fncinmi, Without any ; difign to reflect on the pre •nt guard, who acre executing their orders ; hut that |if I had said any thing criminal, I uas in | their power—they could arrest me. Col. i Nelson and Scargcnt Brooks, hearing the guard talking largely, gailopped up from j the rear with niueli apparreut rage, and ! inquired what Mas the matter.
