TO MY OLD COAT,
Though hardly worth one paltry groat,
Thou'rt dear to me, my poor old coat ;
For full ten yearsmy friend thon'st been
For full ten years I've brushed thee clean ;
And now, like me thou'rt old and wan ;
With both the glow of youth is gone ;
But worn and si tabby as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part,
rcor coat.
I've net f rgot the birth-day eve
When first Fdonn'd thy glossy sleeve,
When jovial friends in mantling w ine,
Drank joy and health to nie and mine.
Our indigence let some despise,
We're dear as ever ia their eves ;
And fur their sakes, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall m t part,
Poor coat.
-One evening, I remember yet;
I, romping, feigned to iiy LIsette ;
She strove Lir lover to retain.
And thvJVail skirt was rent in twain.
Dear girl, she did her best eukav r,
And patched thee up as well as ever,
For her sweet sake, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall not part,
Toor coat.
Never ,'my coat, hast thou been found,
Ben-ling'thy shoulders to the ground,
From any up -start L ira" or " Grace,"
To beg a pension or a place.
Wild forest flowers no Monarch's dole
Adorn thy modest button-bole ;
If but for that, old as thou art,
Thou and the poet shall hot part,
Toor coat.
Poor though we be, my good old friend,
No gold shall bribe our backs to bend ;
Honest amid temptations past,
We will be honest to the last ;
Farmore I prize thy virtuous rags
Titan all the lace a courtier brags ;
And while I live and have a heart,
Though and the poet shall not part,
My coat.

iu this city
the acquaintance of a young lady, .who, hy
the death of her father, ha.d just been left
eole heiress to a large estate. A warm attach
ment soon sprung up between the two, and
our-young Englishman; one fine day, niade
the lady a formal tender of his hand' and
heart The enswer he received was tho fal
lowing : "I love you, -and will marry you,:
but onhy on these; conditions, and tLese only :
First you must , stop drinking. Second
you must pay your debts. Third you have
squandered your fortune; you must set to
work and make another." The lover entrea
ted, but the lady was inexorable. Just then
the gold fever broke out, and our hero deter
mined, without loss of tim!, to try his fortune
on the shores of the Pacific Ocea"n. He sat
down, wrote n letter to hia lady, in which he
announced his determination, assured her of
his unalterable affection, and begged her to
be faithful to him, and without further adieu,
started for JN ew 1 ork, and took ship for San
Francisco, via. the Oace. . In California he
led for some time a wandering dissolute life,
and finally joined the unfortunate expedition
which Itaousset do Uoulbon htted out ior the
conquest of Sonora. It was known that ho
was among tho few who - escaped io tell the
fate of their Leroic leader, but nothing- fur
ther was heard of him or his whereabouts un
til last Saturday, when a friend of his iu this
city received a telegraphic difpatch from him
stating that he was among tho fifty pv rsons
saved from the Central America, and brought
into Norfolk by tho Ellen. The dispatch far
ther stated that he had lost 150,00 in gold,
which was in tho hands of tho purser, but
that it was luckily insured for it3 full value in
a London office. We learn that the young
lady to whom he was engaged is still unmar
ried, end it would not be strange if, in the
course of human events, we should be culled
upon to indite a paragraph with that faehion
ahle bendiog. "Marriage iu High Eifo."
-Acie Orleans Dec,
A Monster Snake.
A correspondent of the Abiagloa Eemo
crat, writing from Walnut Mill, Lee county,
Ya., who is, as the Democrat assures its rea
der?, "a man in whom implicit confidence can
be placed," gives the following acount of a
mcii-ster reptile in that county. T.'e says :
"About three weeks ago, five men went to
gather whortleberries iu th? mountainous part
of Harlan county, Ky., and in their travels
came to a small branch at the foot of a steep
ridge", where they discovered a smooth, beat
en path, or rather a slide, that led from the
branch up the ridge. Curiosity tempted them
to know its meaning, and they followed the
trail to the top of the ridge, where, to their
astonishment, they found about an acre of
ground perfectly smooth and destitute of veg
etation, near tho centre of which they discov
ered a small sink or cave, large cceugh to ad
mit a barrel. They concluded to drop a few
stones, and presently their cars were saluted
with a loud rumbling sound accompanied with
a rattling noise, ana an enormous serpent
made its appearance, blowing and fpreading
his head, and his fxrrkcd tongue protruding.
The men wcro struck with wonder ?.nd afJTrig'it
and suddenly the atmosphere was filled with
a smell so nauseating that three out of the five
were, taken very sick ; tho other two discov
ering the condition of their companions, drag
ged them away from that abode of death.
About ten feet of. the snake had, to their
judgment, made its appearance, when they
hurried homo and related what they had seen
to their neighbors. "
The nest cay were mounted some ten of
the hardy mountaineers, armed with rifles,
determined to destroy the monster. On ap
proaching within one hundred yards of the
dwelling of his snakeship, their horses sud
denly became restive, and neither kindness
nor force could - make them go any nearer.
The men dismounted and hitched their hor
ses, proceeded on foot, with their rifics cock
ed to the foot of the cave. They hurled in
three or four large stones, and fell back some
fifteen steps, when the same noise was heard
as before, and out came the dreaded reptile,
ready as his looks indicated, to crush the in
truders. About the same length of the snake
had appeared from the hole, when eight or
ten bullets went through his head, and, as the
monster died, lie kept crawling out until 20
feet of that huge boa laid motionless on the
ground. It was a rattlesnake with twenty
eight rattles the first was four inches in di
ameter, the rest decreasing in size to the last.
With difficulty the men dragged him home,
and his ekin can now bo seen by tho curious
in Harlan count v.
1. i .;: The Englishman's Sauff-Box. ' -'- ;
i The Erench papers' have not," under the in
fluence of the alliance, ceased to have- their
joke3'upon Englishmen; and one of thc 'droli. .
lest is told as follow, by the Union 'Eretonms
from which we translate it :
Lord C ; , well known ' for his eccen
tricities', went lately to the establishment ; cf
one of our most celebrated workers in fancy
articles , - : - ' '",'.' 'V. -
'I want you to -make no,' said he, 'a sauST-.
box, with a view of my chatcu on tho lid.' -
!It is very easily done was- the" reply if
nay lord will furnish., ine with the design.'
dog.' . ' ,
That, too-, shallbe provided,' answered the
workman.
'Eut I want also that some means should
be contrived by which, ns soon as any one
looks at the dog, ho shall go back into the
niche, and only reappear when he is r.o longer
looked at.'
The workmen looked inquiringly, as if to
ascertain whether his customer was not the
victim of some mystification. Ee-assurcd by
his examination, and, like a clever man, un
derstanding how to take advantage of the af
fair, he said to the Englishman
."' 'What you ask of me is very hard to com
ply with, such a snuff-box will be very ex
pensive ; it will cost a thousand crowns.'
'Very well ; I will pay ycu a thousand
crowns.'.
'Then, my lord, it shall be made according
to your wishes, and in a month I bhall have
the honor of delivering it to you.'
A month later the workman presented him
self to Lord C
'My lord,' said he, 'here is your snuff-box.'
Lord C took it, examined it, and
said, ,there is my chateau, with its turrets,
end there is the niche by the doorway. But
I sec no dog.'
'Did not your lordship,' said the workman,
'fay that you wished the dog to disappear
when he was looked &tV
'I did,' replied his lordship.
'And that he shoul 1 reappear when ha was
no longer looked at V
'Thai is true, also,' was the reply.
Well.' sail the workman, 'you arc looking
at it, and the dog has gone into the niche.
Put the box in your pocket and the dog will
reappear immediately.

Eating; cf Arsenic.
The remarkable trial of Miss Madeline
Smith, charged with administering arsenic to
another, which, she alleges, she used herself,
reminds the public of the extent to which the
poison may be used with apparent safety. A
few years ago, says the Ledger, the public
mind was excited by accounts of the use ot
arsenic voluntarily taken, not for the purpose
of self-destruction, but in minute quantities
to increase the tone of the system. In the
mountain regions of Syria it was found that
the peasantry were in the habit of using it
largely, and that ihey could climb mountains j
afterward witH mucii greater lacmty, ana
without the same painful sensation of loss of
breath. It was found that it improved the
complexion, giving a fresh and rosy hue to
the face, often increasing the appetite, and.
in fact, greatly invigorating the whole sys
tem. t
Some men sixty years old were in the hab
it of using it daily, and had been thirty years
and would take enough to kill a dozen men
cot accustomed to the dose. Tho great draw
back to its use lay here that there ce-ms to
be no stopping in the use of it when once
fairly begun. Like opium, the victim seems
compelled to keep on, and to keep increas
ing the quantity. If he advances beyond a
certain point it is death, and if he leave it off
it is death all the symptoms cf being pois
oned by arsenic theu immediately appear, just
aa the cessation of drinking produces mania a
potu. J ho authorities thereiore interlered,
and endeavored to break up the practice
among the peasantry.
, Since then, however, physicians have been
in the habit of using it in minute quantities
as a tonic, and with great success. It will
often break up chills and fevers in certain
proper preparations, where quinine fails.
Consumptive patieuts have even recovered
through its mean3, under aicdical advice. It
has long been known that horses to which it
is given in minute doses will grow fat, and
their skin become sleek and shining, so that
they will bring a far higher price, falling of,
however, in propoition so Eoon as its adminis

5T The " Victory," Nelson's old fh;P,
was last week pumped high and dry for the
purpose of examining a leak." Iier bottoui
presented a mcst'singular cpper.rance, being
covered from slem to stern with oyiers. mus
sels and .animalctda? ; upwards cf six bushels
of the finest oysters were detached ireni tho
copper sheathing, some of which, measured
five inches in diameter, ' and were devoured
with great relish by the dockyard . workmen.
The leak was found to have arisen from a per
tion cf tho copper sheathing being worn off ;
after which, no doubt, the worms had it "all
their own way, for they had positively eaten
through the whole space cf ten feet by the av
erage of three feet." The inner piri of tome
of the planking was found not thicker than aa
crange-peel. Any shock given to the ship
would have allowed the pressure of the tide
to have brc-kon thrcagh in a body, and down
would have went Nelson's Victory Her cop

drld French Coins An extraordinary

some mile from this city, getting out Lcop
stuff, when they discovered a small keg buried
ia the sacL -Thi3 they dug out, and
opening it, found it contained 1,000 Euvcr
pieces. The coins were of an ancient French
cast and of the denomination of seven franc
pieces, va.ued at 1 09 each. The two men
with their treasure have left for Philadelphia,
where they intend to exchange their coia at
the mint. It is probable that the money was
secreted in the place where it was discovered,
by some French officer during the old French
war, and afterwards the officer may have been
killed, leaving no trace where the treasure
was concealed. Thus ii has fallen, at last;
