4 Good JOKE Epo1Ied in The Had

For many weeks, We have chased through lhe
press statement ol.Texas annexed, based upon
a supposed decision Of Judge Bragg OF Mobile
that citizen of Texas could not be excused from
jury duly, as Texas was already annexed. ms

and some ollhe Wing papers have made II a'eS'
loI cng-winded homilies upon the lawless pro-
ceeding> and "land-robbing" principles and prac-
lices III The friends OF The "Texas inquily. II
has been represented as monSlrous, that Vasl
question, upon whichturned The fate of our Union
and the peace Of The world; which has welded 50
powerful an influence npon the destinies oil our
country, and, according TO Wing prophecy, would
shake our government TO lis centre, produce re-
volulion in Texas, and raise up The world IN arms
against our punderins policy and cowardly ava
rice: il was monslrous, they said, that such
momen,ous question should be decided by sim
pie ip3 dirt Of nsi prias Judge OF Alabama
The Alabama papers gave full rope 10 the play
of the monster, and quietly enjoyed the fun. lie
Mobile Register, however, thoroughly satisfied
with The laushable results of the mistake, comes
forward in the following article, and. by 4 single
stroke OF It's SPEAR breaks up The magic II VIII
be amusing 10 see this rercysal of The decision OF
Judge Bragg travelling It's slow and loriuous path
through the newspapers. Though We never pub
lished the original, either as a fact or as joke,
We SET his ball in motion to-day:
awe thought our contemporaries OF The press
little too spacious 10 circulate The report, that
Judge Bragg of our Cirruil, had decided that
Texas is part OF The United States, and required
Texas citizen 10 do duty here. Il is all joke.
No such decision was eve! made BY Judge Bragg:
1.-THE fact is, We understand, 10 be, that AN old
resident Of This city asked 10 be excused from
serving on jury, because he had been in Texas
and taken The oath Of allegiance there His eX-
cnsc was di>allowcd, and lc was ordered to take
his sea, in the box. The iudge merely remarked
10 a by-slander joco>ely, that it could make no
difference anv how-Texas was annexed Out
Of this casual remark has grown the story, that
The Judge had formally made the decision re-
ported.

Love never sIeeps.


Love never sleeps: The molheFs eye
Bends DER her dying infants bed;
And as she marks the moments fy,
While death cTeeps on with noiselass tread,
Faint and distressed, she sits and weeps,
With beating heari.-Leve nerer sleeps.
Yete'en that sad and fragile form
Forgeis the tumult Of her breasts
Despite the horrors Of the storm,
O'erburdened nature sinks TO rest.
But Ger them both, another keeps
His midnight watch-LoUe ,leuer sleeps.

Stoop Ger the care-worn sons Of man;
With plying eyes and eager hands
They raise the soul TO hope again.
Free as the air their pity sweeps
The storms Of time Love nerer sleeps.
And ound-beneath-and over ali,
O'er men and angels, earth and heaven,
Higher bends! the slightest call
Unanswered, and relief is given.
In hours of wo, when sorrow sleeps
The heart in pain-HE nerer sleeps.
Oh! God Of Love! our eyes to thee,
Tired of the worlds false radiance, turn!
And as we view thy purity,
We feel our hearts within Us burn,
Convinced that in the lowest deeps
OF human ill--LOvs nersr sleeps.
