pared to be mustered into service at days no.

TEXAN VALoR-It will be recolected that when
the government forwarded a requisition to Texas
and Louisiana for raising troops to assist General
Taylor, in the hazardous position he occupied i'm.
mediately after the breaking out of hostilities
with Mexico, the call, il was said, was not
answered very speedily in Texas, for the obvi-
Gus reason that the Texans thought il necessary
tomake their business arrangements and settle
their family matters before marching long dis
lance to an enemy's country, from whic h, per-
haps, they might never return.
The hypoc ritically phianthropic journals here
and elsewhere, thought this good opportunity to
ridicule our Southern friends who agitated the
annexation of Texas, and accordingly accused
the people ofthe "Lone Star" oflack OF chvalry in
maintaining by the sword their action in Congress-
and imputed to the Texans, in not going forward
al days notice, desire to avoid the conse-
quences which resulted from the annexation Of
tnrif territory. Those imputatons were, how.
ever, soon falsifed, for within a comparative
!y s1ot time there was greater volunteer force
offered than the government could accept.
The brilliant deeds performed, and the noble
daring displayed by all the volunteers, but par
uculafy the Texan Rangers, under the command
OF lneir own Governor, triumphantly disproved the
lou asPersions that these mock philanthropists
east on the people o: Texas, and show that they
are as brave people ever the sun shone on

JIM BRADDOCK'S PLEDGE.
BY T. S. ARTHUR.

When all was quiet, and the mother sal
down to wait for her husbands return, a
feeling of deep despondency came over her
mind. Ithad been dark for an hour, and
yet he had not come home. She could i'm
agine no reason for this, other than the one
that had kept him out SO often before
drinking and company. Thus she continu-
ed to sit, hour after hour, the supper un-
tasted. Usually, her evenings were spent
in some kind of work--in mending her
children's clothes, or knitting them stock
inps. But now she had no heart to do any
thing. The state of gloomy uncertainty
that she was in, broke down her spirits
for the time being
Bedtime came; and still Braddock was
away. She waited an hour later than usual,
and then retired, sinking back on her pillow
as she did so, in state of hopeless exhaus-
ton Of mind and body.
In the meantime, her husband had spent
merry evening at Harry Arnold's, drinking
with more than his accustomed freedom.
He was the last to 90 home, the thought Of
meeting his deceived and injured wife,
causing him to linger. When he did leave.
it was past eleven o'clock. Though more
than half intoxicated on going from the
grog shop, the cool night air sobered him
considerably before he got home. Arrived
there, he paused with his hand on the doo
sometime, reluctant to enter. At last h
opened the door, and went quietly in, in tn
hope ofgetting up to bed without his wifi
discovering his condition. The third ste
into the room brought his foot in contac
with chair, and over he went jarring tn

For the Columbian Fountain.
THE INEBRIATE'S DAUGHTER.
I enter'd in graveyard, there to muse
Among the dead, and presumed that
Was there alone. But when enter'd there
| saw child, fair haired girl: she looked
As though the sixteenth summer had not she'
! It's fragrance round her. There, upon cold
Unsodded grave she sat. Her head was hung
And resting on her hands her hair hung dowr
In broken ringlets DER her snow white neck.
She heard not my approaching footsteps SOUND
Until came quite near her. Ere she knew
Innuding feet were nigh, l heard, amid
Her broken sobs, some words that told me sh.
Was sad. Thus addressed her:
I"Why sit'st thou on this damp grave weeping
Why heav'st thy bosom with perpetual sighsf
Art thou watch o'er some one keeping2
Or fnd'st thou rest in emptying fearful eyes,
Why is gloomy cast thy brow pervading2
Is sadness sweet, or welcomed to thy breast!
Or, art thou here in solitude persuading
Death to come, and sink thee here to rest2
Hast thou no kindred here to share thy anguish?
Are all hearts brass, or lost to human pain2
No mother, sister, to behold thee languish,
And to weep with thee-nor weep in vain?
She rais'd her head. Her eyes were red
With weeping, and her voice was tremulous
She rais'd her hand and pointed to grave
Fresh dug, and said, "Ihere lays my mother
Yes,
My mothers there-ny mothers in that graye''
She knelt beside the tomb, and look'd as though
She wish'd to catch murmer from the grave
In which her mother slept: she wet it with
Her tears, then rose and said -
"My father brought my mother to this tomb
He broke her heart with speakless grief:
My father is dyunkard, and our home
He spoil'd by rum-mother's found relief
In Death
o! remember well the happy days
When father did not drink. How sweet
He smiled ! and mother sang her lays
OF happiness they did each other greet
In Love.
Twas then ! had home-a happy home,
With father, mother, sister, by my side.
Not so now: Pm homeless now roam
A mourner, motherless sigh
For Death.
