"No."
"Neilher do ]; nor do believe they
know each other. But I'll wager cock

The bet was taken.
"Mr. Smith why. how are you ;" cried
the wag, grasping one of the individuals IN
question by the hand. "Ha! MIR. Jones" J"
- addressing the other - shows your
health Mr. Jones make you acquainted
with Mr.. Smith. Mr.. Smith Mr.. Jonesn'
The imaginary Mr.. Smith, little confus-

the imaginary Nr. Jones, losing his self
possession, gave it feeble shake.
"Ah excuse me - said the wag with a
face as long as fish. "Beg pardon be-
Heve I'm mistaken IN the men -
And off he walked with his friend to

HYMN OF TRUST.

HYMN OF TRUST.
BY MRS. L. H. sIGOURNET.
Ny God, would not doubt
Thy wisdom or thy grace,
Although the clouds may sometimes veil
The brightness Of thy face.
would not dread the hand
That doth my life control,
Even if the instruments are sharp
That try and search my soul.
would not shrink to yield
The treasure or the friend,
That in thy plenitude of love
Thou didst vouchsafe to lend.
would not dare resist
Thy counsels or thy sway,
Beggar and borrower thine earth,
And soon to pass away.
would not e'er forsake
The strength that cannot fail,
A poor, blind wandercr of the dust,
An atom on the gale.
/ would not plant my hope
Where all things change and die;
But, anchored on the word of truth,
Look upward to the sky.
Here are three morsels from a new tragedy, re
viewed and highly praised in the last London Ex
aminer. The work is attributed to Thomas Lovel
Beddoes ]
"Oft first love must perish;
Like the poor snow-drop, boyish love of Spring
Born pale to die, and strew the path of triumph
Before the imperial glowing of the rose.''
"When first met her in the Egyptian prison,
She was the rosy morning of woman;
Beauty was rising but the starry grace
Of calm childhood might be seen in her.
"Amala, good night:
Thou'rt happy. In these high delightful times,
L does the human heart much good to think
On deepest woe, which may be waiting for us,
y1ask'd even in marriage-hour. Take this flow
from me,
A white rose, fitting for wedding-gift,)
And lay it on your pillow. Pray to live
So fair and innocently; pray to die,
leaf after leaf, so softly

! STEALING SPooNs.--Here is q laughable
anecdo.e of old Judge B, of South Car
olina, for which we are indebted 10 all cs-
tcemed friend:
The Judge was great sdmrer Of whis-
key punch. believe his father was of
Phenlcian descen, which must account for
the weakness. One nigh on circuit some
scamps of lawyers, after The old gentleman
had become pretty oblvious, determined to
play him trick, and letting the innkeeper
into the joke, wrapped number OF the lat
ter's silver spoons in a handkerchief, and
slowed them away in the Judges trunk
| The next morning while the stage was wad-
ing through stretch of road, who should
over,ake them at full speed but the tavern
keeper, who with much apparent embarrass-
ment made his errand known. He informed
the party that he had missed some spoons
from his house, and as he intended making
thorough search, he was afraid some he
suspected would not let him do so. But if
he should say to them. "You needn't be so
particular now; have jus. lief, Judge B and
Mr.. So-and-so, and they didn't hinder me,'
the rogues wouldn't have word to say in
excuse.
ooh, certainly, certainly!" cried every
body, all except The Judge being in the joke;
and down they all jumped, opened their
trunks and shook the several articles of
clothing TO show there was nothing in them.
Presently i. was Judges turn. "Oh," to
be sure said he producing his keys. But
the search among his properties had scarce
began when to his Tremendous astonishment,
on. Of handkerchief dropped the landlords
spoons. Every one looked at the judge
After moments reflection, he broke out
with "Well now, boys, you see lis all tha.
miserable Scotch whiskey drank last night,
know j, made me steal these spoons. -
They never enlightened the Judge, and he
always firmly believed there was nothing
like Scotch whiskey for weakening a mans
sense of right especially touching the ap-
preparation of his neighbours property. In
fac, i. was said, whenever prisoner charg-
ed with stealing was brought before him,
he would gravely ask if he hadn't been
drinking Scotch whskey lately; "for if you
have" he would add" you'd better leave it
off, ! tell you; stole spoons once !'-

For the Times.
With many thanks to you, Mr.. Editor, for
the insertion of my, communication few
weeks ago on
The North-Carolinian., 1850-06-29
PROSPECT OF WAR!
The question to be tested.


Our readers will recol.ect that the authorities
of the State of Texas, sent their Agent, Major
Neighbors, to organize that part Of the territory
of New Mexico claimed by Texas, into counties.
The inhabitants of the town of Santa Fe, and all
that region, have always denied allegiance to
Texas, and have accordingly resisted the organi
zation of counties by Texas. In this resistance,
it appears (by telegraphic despatch to the
Washington Union) that the U. S. authorities at
Santa Fe have joined the inhabitants, and the
agent of Texas left for headquarters. The gov
ernment and people of Texas have sworn to spill
their blood in defence of their right to this ter
r;tory: and If this evs be true, we fear there
is going to be trouble there.
We hardly know how to credit the news Of the
interference of U. S. authorities, for President
TAYLOR intimated that he would not interfere.
We presume the matter will be explained more
fully in a few days.
p S-What is still more alarming, and fog
which the President must be held accounta-
BILE is, that the commanding officer at Santa Fe,
has issued proclamation, like Genl. Riley did
In the case of California, calling on the inhabi-
tants OF New Mexico to forE State government!
Il true, it deserves the rerrobation Of the whole
world.
