"BLAcK ToM."-A correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Chronicle. writing from
Washington, tells the following story Of
Ohio's dark-skinned Senator
"The proverbially conceded fact that
the dark and swarthy hue which over
shadows the features Of Senator Corwin,
Ohio's Representative in the Executive
branch Of Congress, which entities him
TO the sonbriquet Of Black Tom was stri-
kingly illustrated a few days since in this
city. He had, it appears, occasion to call
at the Navy Department to transact some
business with which he was entrusted.
While there, waiting the return of the Sc
cretary's messenger, by whom had sent
in his name, gentleman whose modest
and excited appearance betokened an office
hunter, stepped up 10 Mr. Corwin, whom
he supposed, from his dark complexion,
was the veritable messenger, and handed
him his papers, with The rsques, that he
would take them to the Secretary. Mr.
Z. playfully remarked, that he was other
wise engaged just at that time; but added
ne, directing the attention Of the gentle
man to negro boy in corner of the room,
'if you will give your papers 10 mn cousin
there, he will take them 10 the Secretary
Of the Navy Just at that moment, gen.
tlenan acquainted with Senator Corwin,
entered the room, and addressed him BY
name. The confusion of the Office seeker
can be better imagined than described
He looked as if he had committed an un-
pardonable sin, whish utterly destroyed
all hope Of his obtaining an Office. He
approached the Senator-large drops Of
Precipitation having collected on his brow
took him to one side, and, in tremu-
lous voice, begged his pardon. Mr. c.,
who enjoyedthe joke, told him TO give
himself no uneasiness, and his only asto-
nishment was that he had not been sppre-
hended before this as fugitive slave"

A miller who attempted to be witty at
the expense Of youth of weak intellect
accosted him thus:
"Jobn, people say that you are fool.
John replied:

sir"
"Well, John, what do you know"

LYscHISG.-On the recent trip of the
steamer atlantic from New Orleans to this
port, cabin passenger by the name of
VIM. Provost, formerly Of this city, was
robbed Of about $500. A Frenchman on
board, named Jean Lezin Cassou, was sus-
pected as the guilty party, and taken in
hand and logged until he confessed the
larceny and delivered up the stolen mo-
ney. AT the request Of Mr. Provost, he
was then set at liberty. Probably fearing
that upon his arrival at this port he would
be given over to the proper authorities, he
seized the first opportunity, went below
and procured two sticks of wood, and with
them under his arms jumped overboard.-
VIXEN last seen he was swimming towards
the shore. Upon the arrival Of the boat
his trunk was opened, in which was found
a number of letters written in French,
from notorious thieves in Paris, detailing
plans to Cassou and others, which leave
but little doubt that he is one of power
full gang Of thieves in the metropolis of
France, and had come to America to try
his hand. Look out for him.-.Mo. Repub.

A POEM IN THREE cANTos,
On the American Revelation.
cANTo 1.

cANTo ##.Eesss
Land OF the Pilgrim! which, in days Of yore,
Shook like sea beneath the tempest's pride,
While navies anchored on its trembling shore,
Were strewn in fragments on its broken tide;
Our country thus convulsed, her children cried,
Amid the woes which they were doomed to bear !;
And cherries thousands in dependence sigh'd
As princely regents LAUGHED to see or hear,
The matron's mournful plant, or hapless maiden's
&a tear. #f @@@#
Dark was the hour, when DER the western wave,
Despotic lordings spread Britannia's sail
The while obsequious, from the ice-bound cave !;
Imperious rushed the kind: suspicious gale,
And DER the ocean rolled the battle wall.
The startled Nereds left their green retreat
In murmurs, breathing some opprobrious tale;
While flmy sprites, alert, with flying feet,
Sought their green grots, where rills and babblng
fountains meet.
High DER tie heap Of waters, proudly rides
Gray Albion's feet, equipped in trim array;
Dark, dismal, sea-weed, lash her vessels sides;
Around their prows high curls the foaming spray,
And pealing thunders, bursting far away,
Break hoarsely DER the salt seas snowy crest, ;.
Distinctly clear, along the watery way,
Those fightful soundsrise DER the oceans breast
Rousing the bird of war; from his clitopping ne ST.
Full soon that feet above the watery deep,
Dim seen from freedoms shore, majestic rode;
And hundreds saw with pain the gorgeous heap,
With streaming pennons plough the briny food.
Dim wax'd their eyes, as they In wonder stood
Upon the strand, which Freedom called her own !;
While scenes of danger, rife with woe and blood,
Flash on their minds-their cities overthrown,
Their hearths deserted-country, and lone.
The war cry DER Atlantis waves was heard
In deep'nins tones, by sandy Pawtuck's rills;
Her shady woods from their long slumbers stirr'd,
Shook fearfully along their marble hills;
And the wild glens, where pearly Taunton trills,
His scanty waters EDWARDS to the sea,
With strangeness reeled like that which fills
The Patriots heart, when ruthless tyranny
Rolls her car DER millions, doubling their misery.
Such were the woes that vex'd Columbia's strand
Where infant Freedom nursed her rustic pride,
For which she spurned Expressions CALLING hand,
And dar'd to stem corruption's wheming tide
Which chafed her shores, and Albion's rights de-
fed,
That on her chimes had hurled her CORY lance.
Nor would she stoop tho round her lash'd the
brand,
which shot dismay upon the wolf Of France.
But still would fearless stand-to conquest would
advance. MUSA.
