New OUTLET FOR THE MIssrssIppr-
The New Orleans Bee has but little doubt
that for all coming time the creyasse at
Bonnie Carree will form one of the perma-
nent outlets of the Mississippi, The cur
rent has already made itself a channel 60
or 50 feet deep, and the crevasse is actual
ly wider than the river itself The water
from this oreyasse finds its way into Lake
Ponchartrain, and thence into the Gulf by
a much shorter route than the present chan
mel of the Mississippi.

A Lady shooting at and challeng-
ing a Gentleman.

TheNew Orleans papers give an account
of case of great interest and excitement
which came off at Carrolton on the 9TH
instant:
Mr.. Benjamin Mason, an alderman ofthe
citp council of Carrollton, made an affidavit
that lady. who is living alone with her
sister, and whose husband is now in Califor-
MIA, shot at him with doubebarrel gun,
with the intentian of taking his life, on Sun
day, the 4th instant, between six and seven
O'Clock in the morning, the shot striking
close to him, but doing him no injury
Deponent further stated that the lady had
threatened his life, and that he was in bodily
fear Of her The affidavit also charged
one r. N, Avis with threatening to shoot
Opponents slave, Maria. 1t appears that
Mason was accused by the lady of having
circulated certain sanderous reports about
her, which reports he obtained from his
negro girl Maria. This so enraged the lady
that she shot at him, as above stated. But
finding that the shot had not taken effect
she sent Mr.. Mason note, of which the
following is copy:
"CARRoLLToN, august A, 1850
"Mr, MASON SIR: Having been grossly
and vlllainousIy slandered by you and your
accomplish, Maria, and furthermore moles-
ted by having spies to watch my house at
night, demand satisfaction from YOU. |

3" Epitaph on John Breath.

Here lies john BREATH, yet think not breath is
here,
Here only breathless night and silence dwell
For breath was out Of Breath, when, from his
bier,
They laid him down within this narrow cell.
And be thou sure that breath shall come to
Breath,
For such the promise Gods Amounted gave.
Then Life shall wake beneath the ribs of Death,
And Breath shall issue from this breathess
grave"

ayes" AND EMO"
BY SAMUEL LOVER.

There are two little words which we use,
Without thinking from whence they came
But. ifyou will list 10 my muse,
The birth. place of each will name
The one came from heaven TO bless,
The other was sent from below;
What sweet little angel is " Yes"
What demon~like dwarf is that No"
And " No" has a friend he can bid
To aid all his doings as well;
In that delicate arch it lies hid,
That adorns the bright eye of the belle.
Beware of the shadowy frown
Which darkens her bright brow Of snow,
AS bent like a bow to strike down,
Her lips give you death with a" No"
But " Yes" has a twin sister sprite-
IT'S a smile, you will easily guess
That sheds a more heavenly light
On the doings of dear little Yes"
Increasing the charm of the lip,
That's going some lover to bless
Oh, sweet is the exquisite smile
That dlmples and plays AROUND Yes"
