on the Annexation Of Texas;
For our part, we are very sure that the

and cast out, better. For our part we hope
the time will shortly arrive when we shall
hear as little of Texas as we do now o

From Col. Napier we learn that there is
no lack Of game in Egypt. He says, sour
exploits were confined to few galIops after
foxes and jackals, which we generally found
in the neig hborhood Of the pyramids-to
frightening hares we turned out of the
mimosa thickets bordering the desert-and
to occasionally breathing, though without
effect, both dogs and horses after the gazells
we sometimes met with during our more
distant excursions into the desert, and which
Invariably went off as on tho wings Of the

But the upshot of all this contention,
= Has made the poor follows look blue
In old times, when the mount was in labor,
It groaued, and made alsorts of FUSS
Though the end Of its great agitation
Was but "rdiculous mus"
So, when vast preparations were making
To check the Grey Eagles bold flight;
And the wings all in terror wore quakinS
Los, terrible should be the fight.
Then, the locos were filled with confusion
To pick out bird that would do,
Old Matiy and Cass tot TO fighting,
So they chose ono, a, least, that was new
Though poor little bantam, by nature
With hickory spurs Oh his heels,
lilo is voted true game by the party,
And greeted with laundering peais'
Some, pu, democratic green specs on'
And fed upon shavings for grass
And NAV on themselves the same prank as
