With folded arms i'll pompous mood,
Wsaps up in glorious thought.
As proud any lord wasI,
And thought self fn five feet high,
To tall TO play with toys.
Awhile l stood to ape the man,
Then sna,ched my hat, and of ran.
To show il 10 the boys.
And many ha nd that ma, passed through;
Watched them ali-says IL Ills new,
Take care, don't soil the crown:
For if you do my pa I'll tell,
And he'll come and trounee y"" ~eh'
Or else IN knock you down.
A score Of hats pulled off
A Of youngsters tried TO scott
Each vowed his ha, was best:
"And only see,'' said Carter's Jim,
.sHow much mine has broader briD',
Worth more than all tho rest''
Said I, ssmine's newest, and of course
For wearing can be none tho worse,
And mus, be best of all;
Just SEQ the crown, how high is,
None has a higher crown than this;
Take care, don't let it fall"
~ care not,'' said another voice,
ssFor you, nor jim, nor all the boys
Nor do wish to boast
If mins's not best, I'll never move.
And by the halter | can prove,
That IL has cost the n,ost'
"I,'s very strange, snys l, s'that Jim

To spell it finland spell il brit;
So right a,d wrong was Carter's jim,
And each clung to his ruio
Then rant and tear fight we went,
To settle fairly the event,
And spell the word anght.
And many a ragged vest aud shirt,
And many a face all sneared with dirt,
Resulted from the fight.

And went crying home.

And wreak their vengeance DER and Ger,

More Rascality.-For some time past,
complaints have been made against the con-
duct of the officers Of the Mint at New Or
leans. The u s. District Attorney, has
gone on to Washington, taking with him
record of facts elected during long and la
borous investigation Of the affairs of the.
Mint. II is reported that large quantities
OF coin have been distracted. The Bee says
awe understand that there was much
sharp shooting between the accused as well
as the parties for whom they appeared. The
circumstances elected by investigation are of
nature impeaching the characters of most
of the officers of the Mint, for honesty, We
racity and fitness of their stations. We. do
not know what disposition will be made by
the Government Of the proofs which Mr,
Slidell takes with him to Washington, 6t
we are persuaded that their publication
would convince the people that the cor
ruption and ignorance which distinguish the
administration Of public affairs in other pla-
ces are equally prevalent in this city.
Every dollar coined at this Mint, thus far
has cost the Government one hundred and
forty cents.

LIST, the sGallatin Mississippi Starr
The editor of the Natchez Courier has
also erased the Raymond Times from the
list of his exchange papers.
This is the right spirit; and we are glad
to see it; for it cannot but tend to elevate
he character IF the newspaper press Of Mis-
sissippi. If editors do not treat each other
with respect and courtesy, it cannot be ex-
pected that the conductors OF our public
journals will long enjoy the confidence and
esteem of the people for whose benefit they
labor. Editors can certainly find enough to
employ them in putting forth efforts for the
political and moral regeneration Of oul
State, without degrading themselves and the
profession, by indulging in the use of low
abuse and personal invective. No man
