As young enthusiast sailors sing:
! ! would not from the briny deep,
My bride, dripping mermaid brings"
As mistress, would most admire
A daughter Of the western wild,
Born in cane-bTake, slne, or quagmire;
ChTistened with mud, the swampers child!
And the dugout that has no speed,
Except when r0W'd by lusty arms,
Should make the cradle OF my love,
And be her refuge, from alarms,
And as her WhoOp, and shout is heard,
And answer by the PantheT's cry,
The diapason Of the swamp,
Be anything9 but lullaby.
Thus mingling; in her sturdy life,
With all that's tusty, stout, and damp,
NY idols weight and feet will make
An impress % the glorious swamp.
Her person tai, heT skin as tough
AS gums, or clay beside the alUe;
Her eyes as black, az any mud,
or Of soil, a kind Of blue.
And her stout francs and stonteE heat,
WilIraise up courage in her dreams,
SO she won't mind The varIDint's growla,
Nor The darn'd Panther when he scTeams.
Then lei me we'd the fearless child,
Whose used to swamps, and fens,and bitches
Who amt afraid TO look behind,
And anil afraid Of deils or witches.

The CoTToN market opened on Monday with
very animated demand, and sales amounted TO
II 900 bales very full prices. On Tuesday tbefs
was a good inquiry but the high rFices asked by
factors checked sales, and oDly 1900 bales chang
ed hands. On Wednesday the sales reached only
$500 bales. On Thursday only 500 bales found
hands To-day the demand was animated, and
5000 bales were disposed of, making the SAILS of
the week 90 500 bales. The market closes very
