From the Nashville Banner, April |,
THE Observation-Disclosures.

This perfect monstrosity, brought to town
last night on the steamer Hugh L. White, from
Smithiand, near where it was caught, is en-
phatically the greatest curiosity of The day.
Ii is neither Sturgeon nor an Alligator, prop
erly, and yet so much like both, that, at first
sight, you might take it for either. Its mouth,
ANY thing, is not more like the Alligator's
than the Surgeons; but its six awful legs, if
they resemble any thing, are like the Alliga-
tors. Its tail would answer for the Surgeons.
And then It's scales, so clear and transparent,
so spotted and checkered And its motions
too, are as rapid on land as in water! We me-
YER have seen such curiosity. Its weight is
something less than 90 pounds. It will be a
fortune to MIR. Smith, who, with his three broth
ers, had so much difficulty 10 take the creature,
near Smthland.
Mr.. Smith did we'll to bring the curious Phe-
nomena to this city for exhibition, and to select
so public place as Cowboys to exhibit the
amphibous animal. Price Of admission 9d
cents.
As this Apilla Jockelum, as the learned FOOL
opists call it, or Sturgeon-Alligator, as Mr.
Smith calls it, is exhibited only in the rear OF
Cowboys store; persons wishing to see it will

On the first Of August, there was an unu-
sual hustle in the island OF Zante. Soldiers
were hurrying TO and fro with their bayonets
cleaning in the sunshine drums were mufiied,
and guard Of six grenadlers was seen march
ing with muskets reversed, towards the prison
Presently the dead march was heard from with
in the gates, and Gerasimo was led from his
cell to look upon his country and It's bright sun
light for the last time, and-to die.
He paused moment beneath the arch and
looked back. Zureli, his beautiful, his be-
trothed, had just been borne lainting from his
presence. ,
lie bowed his head and walked silently, bu,
steddlls Onward The English officers were
all assembled. There was rich show Of
plnmes and gold AID gay military trappings.-
They enteied the, parade ground--the prise
ner knelt down, the bandage was bound over
his eyes, and COL T---y advanced. MAKE
ready said the file Of men planted for the pur'
pose Of destruction, and the muskets clicked
llearfully in the ears of the mute multitude
PRESENT. The guns were brought parable
with the ground.
Colonel T-y folded his arms and drew
himself up in his usual erect and soldier-liR'
attitude.
'Gerasimo, said he at last, General L.
died last night, and in the name of my officer
pronounce your pardon
Poor Gerasmo sunk senseless to the earth
In this state he was borne to the government
house and laid upon couch. By degrees h
recovered Raising himself from his reclin
ing position, he looked around and beheld ~
reIli, his own Zurelli, bending over him. He
warm breath was on his cold brow; her spark
ling tears shone like gems on his stiff fingers
and her mother and her friend, Rayina, thei
faces beaming with smiles of happiness an
delight, stood at the foot of the couch.
I. Three days after that, Gerasimo obtained
discharge. 1t was purchased for him by tn
officer who had gained Zurell admittance te
his prison, and under the general auspices

Oh, woman, truth and passion rear the throne
Where thou dost sit triumphant and alone
Bright shapes of ftful fancies throw
Prismatic colors DER thy beauty's glow
Before thousand shrines thy feelings burn
As vestals wave their tapers DER the urn;
seeming tickle nature oft imbucs
The color of thy mind with rainbow hueS-
Yet, when awakened TO some daring deed,
When grief and trials come, and nations bleed
When fields Of blood re-ocho shrieking cries.
And hopes lone star hath left the shrouded skies
IT'S then thy mighty heart shall fully prove
Thes,rength of all thy constancy and love
Who longest fingers at the bed of DEATH
With kisses winning back the fleeing breath
Who Longest at the chill lone tomb shall stay

REASONS FOR TURNING LoAFER.."Among the
many reasons which are effectual in urging a
man TO turn loafer, the following MAJ be named
as a few Of the most powerful
/, You are never bothered with taIlor's or
bootmaker's bills.
9. Poor relations are kind Of folk that don't
make frequent call upon your purse.
8. You have no work to do, and may lounge
the streets to your hearts content.
a. You are never in danger Of being reused
from a sound sleep, with "Joseph, get up; your
breakfast is waiting for you"
s. You run no hazard Of being knocked down
for your money.
6. You are at liberty to enjoy the undisturb
ed luxury of sucking molasses from hogsheads
through wisp Of straw.
7. You are free from the CONSTANTS OF fash
ionable etiquette.
8. You have no fear Of getting corns on your
toes from new boots.
8. You are in the way Of becoming phllos-
opher, by observing with solicitude "the chan
ges of the moon," and noting the alternate aP'
proach of fair and foul weather by the dlrec'
ton of the winds.
10. You are never obliged to take your 'eye
OPENER" or your "phlegm CUTTER" at your own
expense.
IL. You are never likely to be denounced by
the rabble as proud aristocrat.
10. And you enjoy the distinction, UNIVERSAL
ly accorded, Of being public man.
