It beau father's for cider and cheese; ’Tie tarnation hard work, I should guess, And it gives a confounded tight squeeze. There's a thumping great roller I swow. They keep pushing—the Lord knows for what, And the psprr, ’twould cover our mow,' Such a whopping great sheet have they got. Mow they fill it all upTs the wonder, Where a darn do they find so much news. As thick as pea blossoms in summer— What a nation of ink they do use! ■By gall!

I’ve no notion, I vutn, 'tws* such tsrnal Hard work to print papers and books, Til go right down and scribe for the Jamal And go home and tell all the folks. •The old shoo kept aa a receptacle for broken types.

LESSONS FOR LOVERS. - The last number of Frartr’a Magazine contains a pleasant little poem under the whimsical title of “Very," which contains some sage minims for young gentlemen who go a courting. We extract three stanzas: “If for instance, a woman you wish to woo, Be her humor grave or merry, The game is your own—you’ve nothing to do But maks her believe you—‘Very.’ Very sad, very gay, very sharp, very flat, Very given to tea, or to sherry— Very hot, very cold, very this, very that, Very any rA/nf—so you’re'Very.’ Very tall, ve-y short, very dark, very fair, Very pale in the face, or florid; Nay, I've known a man loved to the verge of despair, For being aurptaaingly horrid."

Tlio horses u-td ill Texas arc colled Muslangs, and run wild in vast numbers over the I uundle-e. praiiies. The following is an amusing introduc tion to our author's steed, and a dclighllul account of his first trick: ‘•The first thing to be attended to was the pur chase us a kotaei and this was easy 1 1 bo ctfecled. The small horses of the country called muiiangt, introduced by the Spaniard*, aie now numeroua in the more northern prairies, run wild in .'roves over these parts us Texas, and are easily taken and rendered servisabl.' by the inhabitants. When caught, it would boa problem to u stranger to confine them, where theru ia neither (roe nr rock to he found; hut thu Mexicans pul on a baiter, knot it at Ihn end, dig pilule shout ten inches deep, put in the knot and press the earth down upon n. The pull being sideways is at a disad vantage, and the horse is unable to draw n out.— They are driven to market, purchased lor three or four dollars, branded, hobbled, turned out again, and entirely obandonded to themselves until they are needed. Whenever a vessel arrives, some ol the inhabitants send into the woods and Cano brakes for such a number as they suppose may lie wanted by the passengers; and tills 1 found had been done, in anticipation of iho wama of those who came in tins sloop Mnjesly. In the log stable belonging to Mr. Austin, at whose house I lodged, I saw a number of them, with all thu wild look which might he expected from their habits of life. They are small, generally about 13 bands high well formed, rather for strength, snd ol different colols, l,auw others in several other *la- Wes, and at length made choice of s white one; and having paid for him a doubloon sud four dol lars, (a handsome advance on his original cost,) stuffed a pair of saddle hags with a few articles of f.Kvd as well ns clothes, and was soon ready fui my journey." As the brands on horses afforded the only ev i deuce us (heir identity, and the propel ty of their owner*, the rules observed in respect to them air very strict. These horses aro very uarful in the country, snd may perhaps become, at some future d.iy, u valuable article us export, as they are innume rable,and cast only the trouble of catching. This is done with a strong noosed cord, made of twist ed strips of taw hide and called a fuze, which is the Spanish word for a band or bond, Il has of ten been described, as well as the manner of throwing it, as il is in common use for catching animals, and sometime* for chocking men in dil ferent parts of America, inhabited by the descen dants of the Spanish and Portuguese. A man on horseback, with a rope us this kind coiled in his led hand, and one end of it fastened to iho horse, whirls the noose end in the air over his head as hc approaches the animal ho intends to seize; and on finding an opportunity, Ihiuwt it uver hi* head or hours, and cheeks his horse. The noose is instantly drawn light, and the poor creaiure ia thrown violently down, without the power of moving, and generally deprived ol breath. They are sometimes badly injured, and even killed, by being dashed to the ground; but generally escape with a seve n practical lesson on the nature of tin* rude instrument of civiliza tion, which they ufterwaids hold in great respect all their live*, yielding immediately whenever they fed it again upon their necks. <■ The mustangs often carry to their graves evi dence of the violent mean* adopted by the Mexi cans in breaking them to the bridle. Many ol them are foundered, or otherwise diseased. A horse which has been lazoed is blindfolded, mounted by a rider armed with the heavy and barbarous spur* of the country, after having limit terrible lever bits put into hi* mouth, a moderate pull which might break hi* jaws; and if ho run* is pricked to hit speed, till be falls down with exhaustion. He is then turned in the opposite direction, snd cruelly spurred again. If hc is found able to run bark to iho point from which he started, he is thought to have bottom enough to make a valuable horse: otherwise ha it turned off as good for little or nothing. The process it a brutal one ; and the agony .indicted by the bits is extreme ; as Mood flows freely bom lbs mouth, which is often greatly swollen : and the animal yields to mere force. ‘•ln the morning wo mounted our horses, and proceeded to the river, where the ferry boat, a large scow, was lying near the shore. I dis mounted, and taking the bridle in my hand, at templed to lead my borne in after me. Most for tunately I was looking at him, and was holler pre pared (ban I was sensible of being, to make one at those sudden instinctive motions which some times prove essential to our safety. Had 1 been turning the other way, or a iillla less active, ] should probably hive lost my Ufe.or at least have (teen seriously injured: for initetd of following me into the boat, as an honest horse should, and as I had expected him to do, he fixed bis eyes up -08 JSft Wit* * mil lions »xp'fs*iuo, and sprung ■I me tike lightning, clearing the ground entirely, end making a leap of about eight feet I jumped aside, and barely in time to avoid hi* feet, with which it seemed to me he designed to beat me down. Ida nut know that I ever bed experien ced such feelings at this occurrcncv|cxciled in rnc. It betrayed a degiec of spile mingled will) craft which 1 had never seen in an animal us hi* spe cies; and laid the axe at the root of all that confi dence and attachment w inch a traveller loves to exercise towards hia horse. I hive been thu* particular in mentioning tins li lit occurrence, lie cause the wit of the country appears to be largely invested in tbs horses; and Ibis was the begin ning of mv while mustang." The toliowing account of the’ sujiererogslory real ofthe same active Utile animal, is, however, really amusing. "The cattle were to be only drive up new the house; and aa there were sevens) hundreds of them, I volunteered my assistance. Drawing my bridle toward* them, I found my little horse no way loth to proceed to the business, on the con trary, he hasiened »f er the herd, and toon made some ol them quicken their pace. He even pres sed upvn them farther limn 1 thought necessary, and at last began to bite such ss he could resell. I now auspeenni that he had much mure expe rience than I had nor supposed, in iho station us a muslsi.g on u farm. And when an ox broke away from ihe drove, us one soon did, tie wsa no more ai a lowi concerning his doty in such a ease; and taking a sudden turn, winch almost twitched me out ut my saddle, threw himself after the fu gitive at full speed, 'i he race was swift, but short; for the ox finding iluclf outrun, turned back to rejoin the herd. The pexiilent little horse at tha tame timu bulled one* more, snd (how 1 know not) luok me hsck with him; lor I frit my self on the verge of tn oveithrow. Il win not I mg before my w*leh Inland busy little li-< s* spiel another descnei from the ranks, and effbe sprang again, sideways, wuhout giving me the slightest notice and scampered over the prairie after one of the wild creatures we were driving; then, in a inn n ment, he was at another full slop, that almost i. threw me over hit head, and buck again like the wind to his old place. "My strength snd commands proved alike una vailing. Like a stubborn cook, who lake* raw 1 and rcast into her own hand*, lie was above my v advice, and set my orders at naught, to that 1 < was compelled to swallow whatever he pleased to 1 give me. Hu had experience in cuttle driving long before I had ever seen Texas or a wild ox, and seemed to have determined to show mo how impudent and provoking a mustang can lie, un j der the niosks of faithful and untiring service in * job selected fur him by his manor. I thought fur some lima ilia: I should never get my bones har k whole to Ansliuac ; for it was not twice nor lliriec that the cattle ran out of the drove near us and he invariably insisted on giving ehuee to all etlrays, and bringing them hack in his own pe culiar style, or like a dog after sheep, let me do or say w hat I would. At length I began to feel more at home in the business, and by close, si * tention, kept myself better guarded against bis dodging* mil doublings. It was not, however, until the disco was over, ami I had dismounted that! fell perfectly sulii. —Journal us a Traveller in Texas. From Hie Charleston Mercury.

In justice to ourselves, and the people’ of Flo rida, we cannot refrain from noticing the charge contained in the following paragraph from the Augusta Sentinel. The editor of that paper, af ter m iking some remarks in defence of General Clinch, says: “We had hoped to see one General allcast, 1 escape the abuse of the Florida press. But we ' have been disappointed. Even Gen.

At least, they set in to be of * jpmion, that either the bank director* or the b Souse in question, ought to make some announce- „ merit of the nature and the extent of the arrange ment entered into between them, that the mind of h the commercial world may be assured of its suffi ciency to enable the parlies to meet all their en- # gagementa. n Now, without pretending to khoW more about arrangement than well informed mercantile men know about it, we may stale, for the satisfaction of the writers in question, thit thb directors of the Bank of England, when the application for as?u- c tancewas made to them, resolved to advance the , amount that might be required to meet the en gagements and the liabilities of the Liverpool house of Messrs, Wm and Jas. Brown and Co., to the 31st ol Deccnilier next.those gentlemen un detlai. lr >«! to furnish the bank with adequate securi- j tics and sultleient gurantecs to repay that irtstitu- J lion fur any advances the directors might be call ed on to make on their behalf. The securities and the gurantees required have been furnished to the bank; they more than cover all the Me-sr-. Brown’s engagement* »nd liab line* lie 8t December next. So that all ihe liabilities of lb* linn for acceptances, book debts and endorsements . arc as certain to be paid] as they become due, as if the parties to whom the house are indebted had the money now in their cash boxes. I As we are on the subject of the affairs of this eminent house, wc may lake the opportunity to * mention that, notwithstanding the magnitude of j the engagements Messrs. Wm. & Jas. Brown & ( Co. were under on American account, rhey did not anticipate any great inconvenience uni 1 the arrival of toe packet of the Bth ult., bringing them an account of the general prostration ol credit in the United S ates, followed by suhscqtichl advices by the packet of the the 15lh, advising the sus pension of specie payments o« the part ot the banks and the impo-sihilty of sending funds for- j ward to meet English engagements. Under these circumstances, they at once determined to apply to the Bank of England lor a temporary loan on stock real estate and other securities. Ihe application was most promptly and most liberal ly met by the Directora resolving, unanimously to bokl at the disposal of the Messrs. Brown all the funds that might be required to meet every engagement their house is under up to the 31sl of December. Their foreign bills will be mostly paid in at lew days; and their present inland ac ceptances will be nearly liquidated in the month of September. From ti. '» statement it appears therefore that on the part of tiio Bank of England the measure is full and complete; the Directora are quite satis fied with the resources of Messrs, Wm, and Jas- Brown A Co. and the .Bank may be said to be the guarantee of the firm for all payments, in this country, to the period hefo 'e mentioned. A Powerful Preacher. —A Kentuckian who listened to an eloquent and popular preacher, gave the following account of him: ‘l’ll tell you what it iß,”ejac,''l« te d he ‘that’s what I call a real tear down sntoz’r; he’s a barkwell and a hold fast to; he dusv’e *'■ honey it up to ’em ami mince his words—he 1015 it down on ’em hot and heavy, he knocks do wn and drags out ho first gives to ’em in one eye I then in t'other, then in the gzzard, and at last he gets your head under his arm, and then I reckon be feathers it in between the lug and the horn ; lie gives the follow no more of a chance than a’coon has in a black Jacket’s nest," ‘Then you give him more credit for his sin centy than you usually do men of Ins cloth,, said Uia auditor. “Yes there’s no whipping’ the devil round the stump with him; tooth and toe nail, and I’m flambergasted if I don’t think' he rather worsted the Old Buy this morning! and he’s the best match I ever saw him have.’ Marine Intelligence.

'There are in operation 1056 throstles, 600 mule spindles, 120 woo! spindles, i 36 looms, two dressers, and all the other machinery 1 requisite to keep these in motion. The tract of land contains 1200 acres, abounding in the finest kind of pine timber, wiib several fine springs of pure water, unequalled in the Slate, and there is a saw mill upon it, capable ol supplying all the wants of the cum- , pnny in extending their buildings; also a gristmill. Vaucluse is 14 miles from Augusta, Ga., 6 miles from Aiken, S. C., 16 miles from Edgefield Court House, S.
