A Scene in a Gamblers Life.

Upon one of the crowded boats that continually
ply up and down the Mississippi, was family
group whose detected appearance attracted gener-
al attention The wife wore that peculiar melan-
choly expression of countenance that tells of life
consuming heart-sorrow which lies too deep to be
aHeyiated by sympathy. Her features were sharp
ened by suffering, and her face, which might once
have been fair, had lost its round proportions, and
the thin cheek and sunken, mournful eyes, reveal
ed a tale of unspoken grief young babe slept
quietly in her arms She looked lovingly upon IT.;
and we'll she might, for it was beautiful. One lit
tie dimple hand rested upon the soft cheek, and
the half parted lips and closelyshut eyehds, show
ed that 1t gently slumbered Now and then lit
tie girl, sitting close beside her on low STOOL peep
ed under the light shawl that half covered the
child's face, looked smngly up to her mother,
and again nestled closer to her side, till as the
evening advanced, WEAKNESS made her own lips
droop, and she nodded herselfinto as sound sleep
as the little dreamer IN her mothers lap The ia
Their sat nearly opposite the group upon old chest
which contained their all. He looked haggard,
pale, and distressed. He had for a long time sat
with his head bowed upon his hand, in abstract,
moody silence, now and then looking towards his
young wife as though he had something upon his
lips to say, yet dared not utter. At length, IN
quick, rash tone, in which there was more OF des-
peration than unkindness, be said:

MEssRs EDIToRs The apathy and ndiffer-
ence the people of Lowndes county in reference
to the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, is strangely at
variance with what is generally believed to be a
governing principle with most persons; viz self
interest in pecuniary matters. tits said that KEN
per, Noxubee and Monroe counties have secured
subscriptions for stock to be paid either IN cash or
work done the Road in their respective counties
sufficient to make the road-be through them, and
that if sufficient stock or work pledged in
Lowndes to carry the road through the county the
contracts would be let as far up the line as Okla
Iona in December next. Is there not sufficient
inducements held out to the people of Lowndes to
insure the requisite amount to make the road
through the county? Bacon is now worth II

There is an agent of the Road, Mr.. Buck OF

for stock to be paid either by work. or money, ex-

however, about calming down, and the gentle emo
ton of admiration for the JarIs was beginning to
swell my bosom, when it was whispered in my ear
that these gallant gentlemen of Fayette were not
the authors of 81 TIE Egening Wax, +" but were
mere "cats paws to pull the hot potatoes out with,
and that Mr. R. Smith, of this county was the

farhing for the thing nor its trpartite authorship.
But knowing the object of the production the pan

am constrained to ask for the following effusion-
of my own brain, place in your valuable paper
Poet of poets sublime, yet simple Smith,
Thy poetry indeed, is rich and rare,
Albeit in part do not find the pith-
For that continental-you'll not care,
Though have fancied it kind of myth,
Which to explain would make parson swear,
Yet poets ev'n have suffered keen critiques,
As did Lord Byron, Southey, Shelly, Keats.
Your style is grand, original, unique
Descending every rule of Murrays grammar,
You plunge ahead like schoolboys into Greek,
Chat'ring his smattering o alpha, beta, gamma,
When wandering near, the Butta-hatch-ie creek,
Dressed a Ia EW0n-(save thy broad panama.
We've pictured thee rare aUeS strolling--
With thy grey eye all in 'fne phrenzy rolling!'
Smith! thou art gifted Observation-Disclosures
Before thy star ascendant we do bow
In humble alteration. HonOrs await
Thee, whom the coy Nine all wiring would endow,
With gifts deserved by Poet-Laureate.
Behold, we place the wreath upon thy brow,
And all greet thee-aye, with ringing shout
But tell us-'does your mother haoao you're out %
