THE LAND OF THE LEAL.
/u vl/liquo oliditu ct Inngmnro rure.
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. The President to show
his impartiality, fryLjututvd her parties,

I understandings between their husbands,

Athens, id. Turn. 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. 'l rott,
! the assistant preacher on Conusauga cir-
I cuit, l hastened to the nation, in order, if
possible, to make some effort lor Ins re-
I lease from prison, and adopt such meas
ures as ivere in my power mr tile support
ot the mission in these prrhlou, tunes,
When I got into the nation, brother’l rott
had given hail, and returned home to at
tend to the duties of Ins charge. 1 then
hurried on to Creek Path, io attend my
| quarterly meeting there, winch was held
;on the 2d and 3d ms. 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. (In Wing
informed what I had said, Col. Nelson
j latterly cursed me, and ordered me tili un
, mediately. I told him that i had said no
11lung hut wlint I believed to lie true, hut
