The literary echo. (Westerly, R.I.) 1851-1851, 1851-04-10

An Irishman, who was very nedr-Sighte1,
about to fight duel, insisted that he
should stand six PAGES nearer his antago-
mist than thc other did to him, and that
they were both to fire at the same time
This beats Sheridan's telling fat man,
who was going to fight thin one, that the
lett9r's slim figure ought to be chalkcd on
the others portly person, and if the bullet
hit him outside the chalk mark, it was to
80 for nothing.
A quaint quibblcr says that the world was

The Maid Of Westerly.
BY JAMES LAME NlCRELsoN.

She's blooming IS a summer morn;
She's pure as lily newly born,
When pearly drops of chrystal dew
Unfold the virgin flower to view;
Like sunbeams ON old Oceans wave,
Her eyes in liquid glances lave;
And All OF life that's dear to me,
Is she, sweet Maid oil Westerly.
She's coy rs that enchanting bird
Whose notes divine at night are heard;
She's light and graceful as the fawn,
When tripping o er the mountain lawn
AS harmless as the sllYery dove;
\ being formed for yirtuous love.
And all flife that's dear o ne
Art thou, sweet Maid oi Westerly.

70 the Editor Of the Literary Echo -
DEAR SIR,-Among the notables with
whose presence our city has lately been hon
ored, prominent stands the name Of Mar
tin iarquhar Tuppor, a dapper, coclnoyish
little gentleman who, it is to be desired,
viii not allow himself to become too much
puf',d up by the fulsomc praise Of those
parasites who embrace every opportunity
Of appcnding themselves to the skirts OF any
foreigner who may be supposed to be some
what celebrated like tin kettle tied to
the caudal extremity ola dog, f0r the pur-
pose of being dragged into notolioty. y
few days since Mr.. Tuppcr was introduced
to the Common Council Of the city by a
magniloquent speech from Senator Stanton,
Of the State Legislature, wherein he tool;
occasion to la ent the fact that America
had, as yet, produced no poet, but express
ed an ardent hope that she would soon re-
deem her character by the production of a
Byron and Tupper! to which Mr., 7.
replie in a few lines Of poetry, evincing a
paternal regard for Americans, and ex-
pressing it as his opinion, that some Of
them were quite worthy to be called Eng
lishmen. Mr.. Senator Stanton mu be
guilty of unmitigatcd toadyism, or be must
be consummatc ignoramus. And DR.
Farquhar Tupp 7 has shown himself to be
one of those patronising egotists who come
to this country to be lioniaed, by men o!
Mr.. Stanton's stamp, and then 90 home
and show up the antics of these sycophants,
and exhibit the performers as a sample OF
the people of this country. Tuppor and
Byron! Wei, to be sure, what happy
conjunction of rames! Mr. Stanton says
America has produced no poets-ergo By
aat's "Thanatopsis," Hallack'S "Marcc
Bozzaris,' BRAKES "Culprit Fay" Long
fellows "Psalms Of Life" Picrpont'>
"Airs of Palcstine," are not poetry >
Holmes, Willis, Norris, Sigourncy, Street
and u thousand and one other names, both
male and female, natives Of this county
before whose genius Mir. rs star must
pale, are not poets. Perhaps Mr.. S. ha'
never found opportunity, amid his mulifa
rious cares, to read the productions Of sucl
writer's; but if he should be so fortunat
presume he will fin them compare ia,
vorably with Mr. Martin L. Tuppcr's ''Pro-
yer ial Philosophy" which, l believe, is
supposed to be the corner stone of his fame
"Proverbia! Philosophy" is, in its way,
very creditabla but there are some mon
who m stake their modcm Of talcn Cor an
extraordinary allowance Of that articla,
And play such fantastic tricks before high
heaven
as to make themselves ridiculous in the

THE THuaton Dcmocr0t, Of April 18th,

Gray, travelling Botanic Doctrcss' and
sPhrenologist' by profession, was arrested

Mr.. Pike of the Hotel She had her exam
nation before justice Reed yesterday morn
inr. The Court sentenced her to thirty
days in the House Of Correction, but as she
has left for parts unknown, the public had
better be on their guard against her"
The said "NIadam Gray put up, a short
time since, at the awcatuck Hotel in this
village, and, after staying few days, de-
camped, strangely forgetting to pay her
bills at tho Hotel, and leaving us minus
some few dollars for printing.
We caution the public aqainst her, as we
believe her to be swindler and cheat.

He has also rathc. I'll apmess at writing
sonnets which causes him to be admired by
some, but Of all his admirers none seem
uore ardent than himself; which appears
to have keen much the case with the good
I'D Nottinghamshire deacon. The old
man had, by some maccountable means,
got il into lis head that he was Il poet, and
being encouraged therein by his friends,
he arose one 9th of November, in church,
for the purpose Of giving out the hymn,
and announced, with Il rich nasal twang,
that he should read one of his own compo-
sition, when he gave out, doubtless to the
no small edifcation Of the congregation

Mr.. Tuppcr is on his winding way to the
South now, where, perhaps, his poetry and
patronage will be more highly appreciated.
