O, Say Thou Lowest Me.

o tell me not. in sorrows hour,
That earth is bright and fair:
That pleasure waits in fairy power
To greet my coming there;
That lightsome feet trip to and fro,
And voices blend in glee,
If thou wouldst cheek my every woe,
o, say thou lowest me!
And tell me not when tear-drops fall
That wealth may yet be mine,
That on my brow shall sparkle all
The precious gems that shine,
Ormine the lands both far and near,
The ships that plough the sea-
If thou wouldst check the bitter tear,
0, say thou lowest me.
And tell me not, when heaveS the sigh,
That young and smiling Fame
A laurel wreath is holding high,
Enwoven with my name;
That many hearts shall wilder thrill
To my sad poesy-
IF thou the trembling sob wouldst still,
0, say thou lowest me.
For pleasures halls of revelry
The soul can ne'er enchain,
And thorns we oft with roses see,
Fen with the wreath of fame.
Not lands, nor ships, the power possess,
Nor gems the magic art,
Like one kind look, or mute caress,
To bind the broken heart.
o, then when clouds all darkly rise,
And fling veil of gloom,
And winds, in dirge like melodies,
Bewail Hope near the tomb,
Just whisper in Loves accents low,
How cherished one may be,
How heart to hearts responding-O,
Say that thou lowest me.

terposed, and an arrangement was eff:
fected for an immediate interview o!
honor between Dugan and the eldest
brother. The parties, attended by
swarm of excited spectators, pro-
ceeded forthwith to the bank of the
Rio Gra nde, opposite the site where
the city Of Brownsville now stands,
and we're placed 10 position by their
respective seconds.
1t was the hour of midnight, and
the great meridian moon, like a mag
ic lamp of the purest cbrysolite,
brimming over with celestial glory,
gave lustre nearly as vivid as that
Of day, and ineffably more chaste,
moro enchanting, mere divine such
as the sweetest smiles of an angel,
the most holy light of heaven.
Half a piinute, or less, before the
death signal. Dugan exclaimed, in a
calm, clear voice:

but ! will cripple your elbow for life,
SO that yonr red right hand shall
never more WELD the instrument
which should only be touched by the

The word was given, and with its
last echoes the weapon of the brave
Virginian roared on the night air, and
his bullet shattered the others arm
at the precise point indicated, while
the murderous duellist bad not time
to pull his trigger; and the remain
ing Aliens shrunk from similar earn
estly proffered ordeal.
Since then, the victor has been a
resident of the Rio Grande, and has
engaged in dozen other encounters,
but always with the same wonder
ful heroism and forbearance. Strange.
valiant, mighty-minded man ! Du-
ring life OF almost sixty summers,
he has fought a hundred fearful con-
flicts on the wild frontier, and every
one, had be SO chosen, might have
been fatal to bis antagonists; but yet
no weeping widow, no pale mother,
no moaning orphan, from all the
graves of the perished past, comes
to haunt bis dreams, and lay the ac-
cusation ola bereavement at his door.

uNoT GUILTY."

We all recollect the verboseneSs
of the old style Of pleading before
the Courts were purged of their
prolixity by the Code" An In
dictment for a simple misdemeanor
was so long and tiresome that a
victim, against whom one was ''found"
would almost plead guilty" to get
rid of the bore OF its reading. Un-
der this system, an Indictment was
found against Joel Nash, simple
backwoodsman, of C county, for
.'assaulting" and "batterirg" one
"Joe Davis" Nash had simply
knocked Davis down for some trivial
insult, and Davis through malice, had
informed the Attorney General OF
the affair, and the Grand Jury had
found 'strue bili' agains. Nash,
The case came up and Joel was called.
The Attorney General who reads an
indictment with peculiar gusto, upon
Joel's appearance at the Bar, drew
bis Indictment, and hegan to read Of
the prisoners not having the fear OF
God before his eyes, bot being moved
and instigated by the Devil, did,
in the county aforesaid. against the
peace and dignity of the State, assault
with divers sticks, bludgeons, blocks
of wood, logs, bars of iron, pistols,
bowie-kniyes, daggers,dirks Arkansaw
toothpicks, brickbats aud stones, In
and upon the head, neck, breast,
arms, belly, abdomen, legs, knees,
and feet, of the said Davis, make Ill

upon the reading of the indictment,
began to grow pale and nervous

eral.
"Oh, Heavens" thought Joel, "did
that dod rotted Joe Davis swar tC
all them lies? if be did, I'm gone
coon."
After the Attorney General bat
finished the reading, he turned to
Joel and said:
''Joel Nash. what say you to the
charge in this indictment? are yor
guilty, or not guilty."
Joel spraag to his feet and said
"Not guilty to that piece Nv paper
Squire; but jes slapped Joe Davl:
over for callin' Nv me a liar"
Joel's appearance of anguish at be-
ing accused Of bruising and beating uF
Joe Davis in such manner, and hl'
answer to the charge, was irresistible
and Court, Bar and all laughed i'm
moderately. Joel was fined ST. ant
costs, upon his plea of "guilty, and
the members of the Bar raised the
amount for him.

a VERY DOUBTFUL ENDORSEMENT.
The Cincinnati Gazette, says
that recently business house in
that city had occasion to write to a
correspondent 10 one of the interior
towps of Indiana, and in closing
their letter asked the question,
"What is the standing of Mr.-?"
In due time the correspondent re-
piled to the query as follows:
fyour question refers to Ms
real responsibility to any limited
amount, we answer it is good; but
to say he is obstinate and mulish,
but family expresses bis peculiarity
of disposition when an account is
presented. He usually pays a debt
at the extreme tail-end of an exc
cution, and then doles out the cash
to the constable as though he was
driving nail in his own coffin. The
money shaver who took the last
seat in the last car of railroad
train, so as to have the use Of his
money while the conductor was reach
ing him, was not a circumstance
to the grim death grasp with which
Mr-holds on to bis purse-strings.
He means to be honest, but his
neighbors say that five cent piece
produces moral strabtsmus that af.
fects his vision quite painfully!
The firm concluded to close their
account at ''the tail-end of an ex-
ecution,' and "drum" no more in
that dire ction.

When the Revolution began, in

Seven in Massachusetts; one each in
New Hampshire and Georgia; two
each in Rhode Island, Mary land,
Virginia and North Carolina; three
in South Carolina; four each in Con-
Decticut and New York; and nine in
