THE GALLON'S SONG
Jr R. MUMMY.
This is the hangman's holiday;
This is the jailor's jubilee;
The gibbet is garnished in grim array,
Crowds are gathering merrily.
Thousands on thousands they come from afar,
Laughter and curses noisily jar
Revels, noes, concert, or ball,
Mine is a show that is worth them all.
I mei no arta of deception here;
The robe is ready, the actors are real:
The bell is tolling, the victim draws near;
Gaze steadily now, he soon will foal.
Those urchins will dream of this scene tonight,
And atart-front their slumbers and scream with fright,
Hell rings; its inmates are turning their harps,
A living mall will be sonde* corpie.
He gazes around, but the perds are nigh,
And his arms are pinioned fast;
looks to the earth, to the crowd, to the sky,
So wistfully: 'tis hie last.
viii heart is full, and his pale lips quiver,
As hope's last ray is extinguished for ever.
tries to look firm, but his limbo they falter,
And his Spit, old it creeps at the touch of the halter
Light-fingered craftsmen, now is the time;
%York fast, 'till your harvest morn;
This is a school to nurse youin crime,
And fityou to swing in turn.
You scaffold is scarce worth a passing glance;
IYhist matter, though o'er it yet may dance.
Though by men on earth you are not forgiven,
Here's a priest will secure you a place in heaven.
The white cap is on, the attendants are gone,
The turnkeys exultingly stare:
One awful moment he stands alone, ;%
A crash, and he swing's in the air.
Hark turn not your gaze from the wretch while he
lives;
Hatch every struggle and shudder he gives.
There! now let your smiles the performance crown,
Ho ! gather a cheer for the cutting down.
Ha! strange ingratitude this! ye groan and hiss
Why so late your dislike to tell?
It is over to soon, was it done amiss ?
Yet you seemed to enjoy it well.
'Tis hypocrisy all: away, away!
I blVith'riot and drunkenness finish the day,
Let you families starve, and if they complain
Be rereuged, and icon will en meet again.
Mother Ignorance, many kind thanks to you;
Learned follies, I love ye well;
Superstition, my friend most staunch and true,
Thou (lost hallow the deeds of hell.
Law, judge"; and jury, my servants all,
Goals, churches, with you I will stands or fall;
Hand in hand we *ill go and reveal on wu,
tlait reason, oh! thou art my mortal be,
Kirkdale, Jan. 4, 1845.
A WATCHMAN OF THE OLDEN TIME
• With scarcely breath to do common credit to
her powers of scolding, she drew up at a watch-box,
'sad addressed herself to the peaceful man within.
**Why, watch here! a pretty fellow! People pay rates,
and—watch! there's a dead woman; dead, I tell you,
watch, pay rates, are let to die, and—watch, watch,
watch!" And still she screamed, and at length claw
ed at and shook the modest wooden tenement which in
those happy but not distant days of England, sheltered
England's civil guardians. The watchman was coiled
up for unbroken repose. He had evidently settled the
matter with himself to sleep until called to breakfast
by the tradesman who, at the corner post, spread his
hospitable table for the early way farers who loved
sailcloth Besides, the watchman was at least sixty
five years old. Twenty years he had been guardian
of the public peace, and be knew no better, that on
such a night even robbery would take a holyday, for
getting the cares and profits of business in comfortable
.blanklts. With such assurance, the watchman had
extingsdithed his head with his hat, crossed his legs,
and btiestaild his arm, with a predetermination that
staksilisbost of en earthquake, or the saloop, should
awake igm. But then the watchman dreamt not of
the vigor, the perseverance of the assailant, who still
screamed at him, still shook his modest bed-room.--
At length, but slowly did the watchman answer the
summons.
- Like an awakening snake, he gradually uncoiled
himself and whilst the woman's tongue rang, rang
like abet', he calmly pushed up his hat, and opening
his two small swini -It eyes, looked at the intruder, but
saw her not. "How the time's past! Well, Master
Grub," for the watchman thought only of the saloop
merchant, "you may bring the stuff here. And tide
morning, I think I'll take toast." This said the spea
ker dashed forward his arms through his box so sud
denly, so vigorosuly, that the woman screamed anew
as she jumped aside. But the watchman bad no
such unmanly thought. No, alt hs contemplated was
a h ear ty yawn, which, with his arms, legs, head and
shoulders', he took so sufficiently, that his watch-box
reverberated like the cave of some carnivorous, full
gorged beast. "Well! after that I hope you are awake
and after that —." "What's the matter?" asked
the watchman, feeling that the hour of saloop was not
arrived, and surlily shaking himself at the disappoint
ment. " What's the matter'?" "The matter! Puppy
head," and the woman was proceeding in her invective
when the functionary observed. "Any more of your
bad language, and 1 shall take you up." "And this
he said with Tilt° the air of a man who keeps his
word. "There's a woman frozen to death." cried the
disturber of the watchman's peace, at once violently
coming to the object of her mission. "That was last
Ilight." said the watchman, with a slight supplementa
y yawn. "1 tell you, to-night man, to-night. She's
nn a doctor's step, there," and the woman pointed
down the street. should like to know what we
pay you watchmen for, if pour creatures are to drop
down dead with cold on the highway."
The watchman lifted his lantern to the face of the
speaker. It was a frank, lively, good-humored face,
with about five-and-thirty years lightly laid upon it,
.and closing one eye, as if the act gave peculiar signifi.
cane to etbat he said, observed emphatically, syllable
by sythable, "Any more of your impertinence, and,"—
here -he took en oath, solemnizing it with st smart
blow of his stick on the ground "and I'll lock you up."
The woman answered something; but the words were
lost, ground by the watchman's rattle which, with con
summate excellence, the golden fruit of painful prac
tice, he whirled about. As cricket answers cricket,
the rattle found a response. Along the street that
sound west:ought up, prolonged, and carried forward;
and mall by-lama gave forth a wooden voice, a voice
that tried to.all the astounded streets, "Justice is
awake!" And then lantern after lantern glimmered
in the night; one lantern advancing with a sober, a
considerate pece;another, with a jack-o'-lantern over
dm snow. And so, lantern after lantern, with watch
men behind them, came and clustered about the box.

THE SPHYNX
Near the pyramids, mote wondrous and more awful
than en else in the land of Egypt, there sits the lonely
Sphynx. Comely the creature is, but the comeliness
/5 notofthls world. The once worshipped beast is a
deformity, and a monster to this generation, and yet
you can gee that those lips, so thick and heavy, were
fashioned according to some ancient mode of beauty
now forgotten: forgotten because that Greece drew
forth Cythrea from the flashing foam of _Egean, and
in her image created new forms of beauty, and made
it a law ansong men that the short and proudly wreath
ed lip should stand for the sign and the main condi-

M'Clellan. Sullivan County, Eust Tenn., Member of
Congt ess.
Wsstursuros, July 3d, 1315.
Sir—Since I have been in this city I have used some
of your Dyspeptic medicine with infinite benefit and
satisfaction, and believe it to be a most valuable reme
dy. One of my constituents, Dr A Carden, of Camp
bell comity, Tennessee, wrote to me to send him some,
which I did, and he has employed it very suecessfully
in his practice and says it is invaluable. Mr Johnson,
your agent at this place, thinks you would probably
like an agent in Tennessee. If so, I would recom
mend Dr A Carden, as a proper person to officiate for
the sale of your celebrated medicine. Should you
commission him he is willing to act for you. You can
send the medicine by water to the care of Robert King
& Sons, Knoxville county, Tennessee, or by land to
Graham & Houston, Tatwell, East Tennessee. 1
have no doubt but if you had agents in several coum
ties in East Tennessee, a great deal of medicine would
be sold. lam going to take some of it home fur my
own use, and that of my frtends, and should like to
hear from you whether you would like an agent at
Bluntville, Sullivan County, East Tennessee; I can
get some of the merchants to act for you as I live near
there. Yours respectfully,
ABRAHAM M'CLELLAN, of Tennessee.

Yet still there lives on the race of those who were beau

girls of Coptic blood will look on you with the sad,
serious gaze, and kiss your charitable hand with the
big, pouting lips of the very Sphynx. Laugh and
mock at the worship of stone idols; but mark ye this,
ye breakers of images, that in one respect, the stone
idol bears awful semblance of Deity, uuchangefulness
in the midst of change, the same seeming will and in
tention for ever and ever inexorable! Upon ancient
dynasteis of Ethiopian and Egyptian kings, upon
Greek and Roman, upon Arab and Ottoman conquer
ors, upon' Napoleon dreaming of an eastern empire,
upon battle and residence, upon the ceaseless misery
of the Egyptian race, upon the keen eyed travellers.
Herodotus yesterday and Warburton to-day, upon all.
and more, this unworldy Sphynx, has watched, and
watched like a Providence with the same earnest eyes,
and the same sad tranquil mien. And we, we shall
die, and Islam will wither away, and the Englisman
leaning far over to hold his loved India will plant a
firm root on the banks of the Nile, and sit in the seats
of the faithful, and still that sleepless rock will lie
watching, and watching the works of the new, busy
