THE GROG SELLER

| lHE GhOG SELLER
A Grog Seller sat by his bar-room fire
With his feet as highas his head, and higher,
Watching the smoke as he puffed it out,
That in spiral columns curled about,
Yelling his face in feecy fold
As lazily up from his lips it rolled,
While doubtful scent and twilight gloom
Were slowly gathering to fill the room
To their drunken slumbers, one by one,
Foolish and fuddled his friends had gone,
To wake in the morn to the drunkard's pain,
With bood-shot eye and whirling brain.
Drowsily rang the watchman's cry,
Past two o'clock and cloudy sky;
Yet the host sat wakeful still,
And shook his head and winked with a
knowing look
| 0, no, says he, with chuckling tone,
| know the way the thing is done;
Twice five are ten, and another V,
Two ones, two two's, and ragged iii,
Make "A for my well-flIed fob.
fIa, ha, ha, It's rather good nights job,
The fools have guzzled my brandy and
wine,
Much good may it do them, the cash is
mine.
And he winked again with Knowing look,
And from his cigar the ashes shook.
I1a ha ha the younkers are IN my net,
have them safe, and will fleece them yet !!
There's Brown, what Jolly dog is he,
And he swells the way'that like to see!
Let him dash awhile at this reckless rate,
And his farm is mine as sure as fate.
Pvea mortage now on Tompkin's lot,
What fool is he to become sot
But it's luck to me--in month or so
| shall foreclose, and the scamp must go.
Zonnds won't his wife have taking on
When she learns that his house and lot are
gone
How she will blubber, and sob, and sigh,
But business is business, and what care ?
And Gibson has murdered his child, they
say;
He was drunk as fool here, yesterday;
And gave him hint as went TO fill
His jug, but the brute would have his will.
And the folks blame me, why bless their
souls,
If didn't sell they would go to Jones,
l've right to engage in lawful trade,
And take my chance when there's cash to
be made.
If men get drunk. and 90 home and turn
Their wives out of doors, tits their own
concern;
But hate 10 have the women come to me,
With their tweedledum and tweedledee,
With their swollen eyes and haggard looks,
And their speeches learned from the Tenn
perance books,
With their pale, lean children, the whm-
pering fools,
Why can't they get to the public schools
\ Lct tnc HusSIcS HiiHl tbGlI OWl dhdllSJ
For never have interfered with theirs
| will turn no customer away
Who is willing to buy and able TO pay;
! For business is business--he he he
And he rubbed his hands in his chuckling
glee.
Many lark I've caught in my net,
have them safe, and I'll fleece them yet;
Ha, ha, ha, he he he twas an echoed
sound,
Amazed, the grog seller looked around;
This way and that, through the smoke peer
ed he,
But nought but the chair could the grog-
seller see.
Hoo hoo hoo with cultural note,
1t seem'd to come from an iron throat:
His knees they shook, and his hair gun to
rise,
And he opened his mouth and strained his
eyes;
And 10 in dark corner, and dim,
Stood an uncouth form, with an aspect grim:
From his grizzly head, through his snaky
hair,
tod h~~
The Columbian fountain., 1846-05-12

Breeches he wore of an amber hue,
From the rear ofwhich tail peeped through;
His feet were shaped like bullock's hoof,
And the boots he wore were caloric proof:
In his hand he bore, if hand it was,
Whose fingers were shaped like Vulture's
claws,
A three-tined fork, and its prongs 80 dull
Thro' the sockets were thrust of grinning
skull
Like sceptre he waved it to and fro,
While he softly chuckled, Aha, ono,
And all the while his eyes, that burn'd
Like sulphrous flame, on the Grog Seller
turn'd.
And low did he feel beneath that look
Why, his jaw fell down, and he shiver'd
and shook;
He quivered and quaked in every limb
As if an ague-ft had hold Of him
And his eyes to the monster grim were
glued,
And his tongue was as stiff as billet of
wood
And the fiend he laughed, Fla, ha, ha he,
he, he
And switched his tail in his quiet glee.
Why, what do you fear my friend, he said
And nodded the horns of his grizzly head
You're an ally Of mine, and love you WE'LL
In very warm country that men call He'll,
| hold my court, and am proud to say
Have not faithfnller friend in pay
Than you, dear sir, for work of evil
May-hap you don't know me. Pm called
the devil
Like galvanized corse, so pale and wan,
Up started instanter this horror struck man;
And he turn'd up the whites of his google
eyes,
With look, half terror-half surprise
And his tongue was loosed, but his words
were few,
The devil you don't Yes, faith do,
Interrupted "Old Nick" and here are the
proofs,
Just twig my tail, my horns, and hoofs
Having come from the warmer climes below
To chat with friend for an hour or 50;
And the night being somewhat chill, think
You might ask an old fellow TO take drink
Now let il be strong, the clear, pure stuff,
Sweeten'd with birthstone, a QUARTS enough;
Stir up the mess in an iron cup,
And heat by the fire till it bubbles up
As the devil bade 50 the Grog Seller did,
And filling ilagon Of gin to the lid,
And when it boiled and bubbled DER
The fiery draught to his guest he bore.
Nick, in a jiffy the liquor did quaf,
And thank'd his host with cultural laugh;
But faint and few were the smiles | ween
That on the Grog Sellers face were seen,
For a mortal fear was on him then,
And he dreamed that the ways of living
He should tread no more--that his hour
had come,
And his master too, to call him home
Thought went back to the darken'd past,
And shrieks were heard on the wintry blast,
And gliding before him, pale and dim
Were Jibbering fends and spectres dim.
Ohio, says Nick, It's welcome cold,
You've gave to a friend so true and old,
Who has been years in your employ,
Running about like an errand boy,
But we'll not fall out, for | clearly see
You're rather afraid It's strange, of me-
Do you think Pve come for you? never fear
You can't be spared for long while here,
There are hearts TO break, there are souls
to win
From the ways Of peace, to the paths ofsini
There are homes must be RENDERED desolate,
There is trusting love to be changed to
hate;
There are hands that murder mast crimson
red;
There are hopes to crush, there IS blight to
be shed
Over the young, and the pure, and far,
Till their lives are crush'd by the nend

The Arkansas papers give notice of the loss of a heavy amount oftreasury drafts. The editor of the Van Buren Intellgencer states that package o treasury drafts containing S25 ,00O which was mail. ed at Forl Gibson. on the 20th of August last, ad- dresaed tn the Charter master General at Washing ton city, IS supposed to be lost, as no acknowled ment of their receipt at that department had been re ceived at Fort Gibson, although letters of dates nearly month subsequently, have been acknowledg- ed by the 0. M. General.
 The drafts were sent on to Fort Gibson, made payable 10 Capt c. O. Collins, and arrived at the time that that gentleman was lying nsensble from sickness. He never recovered and consequently tlie drafts were never endorsed by him. They are the only drafts of the kind in existence payable to the order of that officer, and they lack his signature can be of no consequence to any one. The present Quarter-master, u. H. w. Wharton, fears that the package containing the drafts has sither miscarried or been taken from the mail, and that improper use may be made of them.

Captain Rollins of the steamer Neptune, has furnished for the New Orleans papers report of the particulars of the loss of that fine steamboat-one of tho best sea-boats ever run.
 It appears that she left Tampco on the 24th ult., bound for Matamoros, and the same night encoun- tered northern, which soon blew hurricane so violently that the machinery could not keep her head to thS sra. She drifted to leeward until about Tn the nIIafng, when beth anchors were let go and one held, and she rode head wind for hour but the storm increased and the rose, and she com meneed drifting again. She was m sight ofTampi- co bar al daylight and after cutting away every thlng and slipping her chains, they put her head to the bar, where she struck about 8 a m, and abou' noon bged, and commenced breaking up. About Al m. the captain and crew were rescued by the boats fthe U. 5. steamship Spitffe, Capt. Tattna who landed them in Tampico on the evening of the 26th. On that morning the Neptune was perfect wreck, nothing being visible but her gaows, frame and engine.
