Come Freight Another Vessel, Boys
A SONG FOR GALWAY.

A SUNG FOX GALWAY
Come freight another vessel, boys,
And send it orc the main;
Twill never do TO give it up,
So, try your ''luck" again;
IT'S failure always fires the soul
OF him who's really brave,
1t nerves the bold, but awes the weak,
The nursing and the slave.
When Noah sent his faithful dove
Forth from his safe retreat,
1t could not find "a resting place"
For its too wearied feet;
But strong in faith, the Prophet sent
The beautious bird once more,
Then back it flew, and TO the ark
The branch of olive bere.
Oh, if ye "popped tho question" boys,
To some fair Galway Maid,
And she refused-whSt matter, boys,
Ye'd not mind what she said;
Ys'd make yourselves ''more amiable,"
With manners sweet and bland,
And win and wear most valiently
Her fortune and her hand.
Would We ''shy" befor a five-barred gate!
No--ye'd try the leap again;
Would We let the fox escape the hounds!
No-ye'd chase him TO his den;
Oh, ''Ye're not the men for Galway"
Or yell build boat once more,
That shall brave The pillows calamity,
Secure from shore to shore.
When Bruce was fighting for his right,
He saw spider crawl
Seeking to reach distant web
'Twonld sometimes rise and fall;
At last it gained the tOPmost height,
And ne'er again fell down
"I'll be a spider" Robert cried,
"And battle for my crown"
When Newton's spaniel tore his book,
Which took him years 10 pen,
What did the mild philosopher!
He wrote the book again.
When thr'o the tunnel rushed The Thames
No changers back" we fnd,
But all cembind to make the work
The wonder of mankind.
The fortune Of your native land
Depends OH what you do,
So get at once better boat'
A captain and crew;
Let traders say whate'er they may;
Let craven towards fear,
Your Port shall be ''the Irish Port"
Before another year.
Delay not, boys, for foreign aid,
Wait not for English gold,
Depend on native energies,
For fortune crowns the bold.
The "Viceroy" is no Irish :ame-
When next ye go to sea,
Baptise in clear, bright mountain dew
The Galway Victory.

SAM SLICK on \ TEEToTALLER.-I ence trav-
eled thro' all the State of Main with one of
them are chaps. He was as thin as a whippin
post. His skin looked like blown bladder af-
ter some Of the air had leaked out, kinder
wrinkled and rumpled like, and his eyes as dim
as lamp that's Twin on short allowance of
lie. He put me in mind Of a pair Of kitchen
toags; all legs, shaft and head, and no belly;
real gander-lookin' critter, as holler as a BAN
boo walking cane, and twice as yalIer. He
actually locked as if he'd been! picked off a
rack at sea, and dragged thro' eimblet hole.
He was a lawyer. Thinks Lord massy,
on your clients, you hungry half starved look
ing critter, you; you'll eat 'em all up alive as
sure as I'm born. You are Just the fellow to
strain at a gnat and swallow camel, flank
shank and flank, all at gulp.

Called session of tho Legislature.

The spirit, intention, and phraseOlogy, one
and all; OF the various resolutions, passed at
the last session of the Legislature, make it
the bOunden duty of Gen. Qutman to re as
semble that body at the earliest day. The
action OF Congress; which was clearly anti
cipated and provided against; leaves him no
discretion in the premises. II he believes
that THE SAFETY OF THE SOUTH

UNITED ACTION OF THE SLAVE

plainly marked out by the resolution which
we annex. Mississippi has looked in vain
to the general government for protection

Legislature to DO called together. five in

to San Marina, small Republic in Italy, be-
tween the Apprentices, the Pc and the Adristic.

in circumference, and its population about
10000. The Repaie was founded more than
1900 years ago. on moral principles, industry
andequality, and has proservedits liberty and

JcnnY Lind's First ConOert.

The frst concert of Jenny Lind took
place at Castle Garden on the night of the !
llth instant. The house was perfectly
jammed; yet there was no confusion. Eve
ry seat was not only numbered but the col
or of the paper Oh which the number was
printed was the same as the color of the tick
cts. The middle section Of the house was
yellow, the left red, and the right blue. At
each section lamps were hung, of the same
color as ths section, whether in the balcony
or parquette. Ushers were also stationed
in different portions oil the house with wands
and rOsettes Of ribbons of the three differ
ent colOrs, indicating the portion Of the
house where they were ready to conduct the
ticket~hoIder' In addition 10 all this, at the
entrance of each tier Of seats were painted
OF the floor the numbers they contained, so
that no person need have any trouble in
finding out his own place. Thus there
was seat for everybody, and every body
had seat corresponding with the number
Of his ticket.
The Herald says that the seat Of Mr.. Ge-
min, the halter, WAS a very handsome spring
cushion crimson velvet chair, placed right
against the front of the centre post, aud Just
opposite TO Jenny Lind. 1t was marked A

and no mistake. Every eye WAS upon the
1928 seat.

A special election was held to-day to
gil four vacancies in the State Legisla-

wings and democrat. But few voters
on either side turned out.
The Texas excitement absorbs much
general conversation. Intense feeling
exists and leads to apprehensions of very
serious consequences. Public meetings
have been held at San Antonio and on
the battle ground of San Jacinto. Reso-
lutions were passed denouncing in strong
terms the General Government, and cali
ing upon the Governor to declare Santa
Fe in state of open insurreclion. An
extra session of the Legislature has been
called in reference, especially, to the diff
fcu!ties now existing; it is to convene on

ing more and more alarming. The
