The turnpike roads and little creeks, Are written whit Love's words, And you hear his voice like a %emend bricks, In the lowing of the bards. He peeps into the teantatees heed, From his linens Vista's rim, And the cracking whips of many men ean never frighten him. He'll come to his cart in the weary night, When be 's dreaming of his craft ; And he'll Boat to his eye in the morning light, Like Ii men on the river rah.

"Mother, don't let them carry me away down to the dark, cold church-yard, but bury me in the garden—in the garden, mother I" Oh, mother ! in von church-yard dread, Lay not your little one, Where marble tomb-stones, o'er the dead, Are shining in the sun. I know, dear mother ! I most die, - But let me not go there; In that sad place I fear to lie, It is too cold and drear. In our sweet garden I will rest, Beneath the orange tree ; The mocking birds there build their nests, And she will sing o'er me. And there, next spring, will mars, too, Bloom red upon their stalks, And hyacinth and hearts-ease blue, Flourish beside the walks. The church-yard, mother, la too far, So far from you and home ; It looks so wild when evening's star Hangs in heaven's alum doom. Then promise, mother, near to you • My little grave shall be; Where hyacinth and heart/pease blue Grow by the orange lase.

Her narrow tombcamidatthe flowers. - Was in the garden made ; And olt that mother weeps, for hours, Beneath the orange shade.

D.HEAGY Lovimixass.—What constitutes true loveliness I—Not the polished brow, nor gaudy dress, nor the show and parade of fashionable life. A woman may have all the outward marks of beauty. and vet not possgss a lovely character. It is the be nevolent disposition—the kind acts—and the aristaiu deportment. It is in the heart where meekness, truth, affection, hu mility are found—where we look for love liness, nor do we look in vain. The wo man who can soothe the aching heart, smooth the wrinkled brow, alleviate the anguish of the mind, and pour the balm of consolation in the wounded breast, po ceases, in an eminent degree, true loveli ness of character. She is the real Com panion ol.tnan, and does the work of an angel. It is such a character that blesses with warmth and ennihine, and makuth earth to resemble the paradise of God. Sir Walter Snott relates an anecdote of a man who, for the first time in his life, had a dish of asparagus set before him, and who, in his ignorance, commenced eating the white ends, which certainly meant the most attractive appearance. A person sitting near quietly suggested to him that he would relish the other end of the stalk bet ter, but the man stammered out the decla ration that "he had always priyerreif the white part," and, it is added, to the day of his death he could never be induced to ac knowledge his ignorance or partake of the tender part of this delicious vegetable.-- To persevere in an unreasonable opposi tion to whatever, in an unthinking .mo ment, we may have rashly expressed an unfavorable opinion of, is by no meatus un common. s men is under God the muter of his own tortune, so is he the master of phis own Mind.

'Parker drew for the other's amusement, a vivid , sketch of the achieve ments of Bowie, the ,famotts atoit-dyellist of Texas, Carlisle listened with sparkling eyes till the close of the narrative, and then burst into indentations of involuntary eb. thusiasm : , . "By Hercules'! the man was greater then Crezar or Cromivell—may, nearly e qual to Odin or Thor. The Texans ought to build him ao. altar." The burning sympathiser with the he roic in ell its phases, rubbed his hands to gether, chuckling in an ectacy of savage glee, and made Parker repeat till story of bloody anecdotes. Finally, he put the question— " But by what miracle could it happen that the brave fallow escaped the capital penalty of the law after auch,eountless vi olations t" To this interrogatory Parker, as he him self confessed, could return no satisfactory answer and as tett thousand readers have perhaps pondered the same problem with out conceiving a rational solution, it may not be uninteresting to explain it briefly, especially as a clear elucidation can be de tailed in a few words. Let it be remembered then, although the great. system of common law, that open+ fection of human reason" tor* the Anglo Saxon race, prevails throughout all the states 9f the west, wholly as to hi tlefoti lion of crimes, and partially as to-the mode and measure of punishment annexed to each, nevertheless in its practical applies. tion to given eases it is controlled by the power of a far mightier law—the omnipo• tent law of public opinion; because in most western courts juries are absolute judges of both the law and the (set, and their interpretations often evince direct an tagonism with the Aida of my. Lord Coke and the classic comments of Blackstone. On the subject of homicide in particular, public ophilou has passed the hounds of all books of jurisprudence, and settled as an immutable statute this extraordinary axiom "It is justifiable to kill in fair combs' everybody and anybody who ought to be In Bowie's numerous reneontres ne ways kept within the prescribed limits of this latitudinarian rule, and hence lie was always acquitted by frontier juries. and fre.quelnlY with addenda - to - Their i'erdietti highly complimentary to.

Iu truth most of his engagement' grew out of his innate and invincible disposition to espouse the cause of the wda k against the mighty.— One illustration by incident wilt prestint this peculiarity in the strongest light, and May, besides, reveal a thorough knowledge of the heart and soul of the man. On the evening of the fourth of June, !835, the steamboat "Rob Roy" stated front St. Louis to New Orleans with a full crowd of passengers., Immediately after "getting under gotxrhendWay," to adopt a favorite backwoods phrase, one person at tracted universal attention by the annoy ing eagerness with which he endeavored to make up a party at cards. Indeed. his oft-repeated and perievering efforts to that lend soon became insulting and uncniura lble ; and yet his appearance was such as to deter the bravest on board from edminie -1 tering the chastisement whielt.he so richly deserved., Ho was a huge mass of mighty t bone anikmuscles. with swarthy feature!, bearing the impress of many a scar,; pier cing dark eyes, that seemed to possess the power of blasting tits behohler-cold-gleam ' ing eyes, etch as haunt the memory pain . fully, a rank luxurance of coal-hlack hair, Immense whiskers and moustache.

At length, after many (alum, he re railed on a wealthy ,young merchant Of Natchez to join hint in a game of poker.
