From (he Southern Literary Messenger, for Feb. THE COUNTY COURT ATTORNEY. ", And sometime showing a more swelling port, *1 tian my faint means would grant continuance.” t S/takespeare. (•aunt seems his hack,— mean his comparison, Lank the valise, which little hath therein ; For ho his wardrobe bears his back upon,— The same doth reptile bight the terrapin And whilst for fees, he patiently doth wait, Small i* the stock within his pouch I ween, Which he from dearest friend y' borrowed late. With promise to repay, when prosperous hi* estate. <iui«-k he dismounts, and hides his wretched steed, Lest sharp-eyed ridicule his blight should note_ Passing itsribald jest withotlteu hede, Upon that jaded frame and rugged coat. For none can rustic e’o.r esteem indeed, Whose ganon nag doth poverty denote:_ So giveth he the ostler, sly his meed, Exhorting him to see that nought his horse doth node. Then wistfully he eyes a busy pair, " here cute Ca. Sa. on roguish client winks, And sighs to think a stranger he is ihrre, As he ponders, feels his heart to shrink, At dreary view ot path professional, Thronged with pert clerk, or conyngo constahcl, Deeming themselves for work loo wise withal. Yet thriving most where evils most befall. Ah me • they little t-hink the poignant woe, Which man engaged in fostering wrong can sow. And now, with cordial shake an1 lowly bow. Some slight acquaintance he saliitvs profound ; Affects to jest, ettsoons with serious brow All vacantly he stares upon the ground, Whilst, in his mind, he thinks it he may make Some small percentage on his capital, Which at some game of cha nee he fain would stake, And clean some luckless wight,or lose his little all Hut then, the risk ot loss doth him appal, * And he desists, to hope where ruin may befall. Thus lie each court attends, until his garb, Napless, and worn, wi>h grease and soil bestainod Awakes (he jest which woundeth like a barb_ ’ Taunted that he his suit hath long retained.' A dingy white, his castor meets the shower • A jewel midst his faded finery Sparkles, sad relic of far happier hour, Whilst his wan cheek and almost tearful eye Tell how base piide doth jest with misery. Hut harpy creditors, who once had deemed His rally promise must bear golden fruit, Fear that his fortunes are not what they seemed — Haste the sharp axe to lay unto his root. ’ His farm, by friendly aid erstwhile redeemed Supports his sisters twain, in good repute • ’ Hut this alas the. nithless plunderers rive ’ Casting those forth on charity to live,_ No on a dish so cold may any sothely thrive. Hard is the law to him, who hath no tongue, No glistering brass, whereon to write his lore • Who scoins the peit and voluble harangue * And all those arts, which may applausc'pro' ure ’ Thus, locking iu his breast the pride which strug gles sore, n Tortured by shame and indigence conjoined What hoots to chronicle his fortunes more*' Low singing ’neath the cares which wring his mind, s He whiskey vile will drink at cost of any low-bred bind. Virginia. From the N. O. Delta. JOINT OCCUPATION : THE WJtOLE OR NONE ! A case came before the Recorder yesterday, involving a point, if not precisely like, at least hearing a strong similitude to that at issue on the Oregon question ; with the difference, however, that this grew out of domestic relation, whilst' that lias had its origin in our foreign relations. A little carrot-colored haired Irish woman, with a bonnet that had been knocked into a chocked hat, laboring under no pressure from without by a boddice, or no distortion of shape from a bnsile, occupied a chair in the Court, in a parallel line with the bench of the Recorder. She appeared to labor under considerable excitement, and not being furnished with that fashionable article of refrigeration—a fan—she made a substitute for it of the corner of her shawl, which she nimbly plied to and fro, in the vicinity of her face. On the side-seat sat a man with a round red face, a rather extensive mouth, a liberal supply of teeth, and a quiet hut humorous blue eye. Jlis chin rested on his left hand and his elbow rested on his knee. He seemed to gaze on his old hat, or caubeen, as intently as a fortune-teller would at the lines of one’s hand, chewing his tobac co quid and the quid of hitter fancies”at the same time. •• Terrence Tourney ?” said the Recorder, a few moments after we entered the office. “ O in throglu then he’s here,” said the lady in the broken bonnet, “ looking as quiet and paycable as if butihor wouldn’t melt in his mouth.” “ Here, sur,” said Terrence, for such seemed to he the name of the man whose passive po- j sition we have just described—“ Here, sur” said he, as soon as the silence of the lady in the battered bonnet would permit the Recorder to hear hirn. “ Nancy Toomey 7” said the Recorder.— “Oh, isn’t that me?” said site in the broken bonnet, “ and sure it was the sorry day to rne iver I laid me two lookin’ eyes on tho blackguard there, that give me such a name; and if it wasn’t for the sake of the poor childher, sure a d_I a meal of vittles I’d iver eat in the same house w id him, the—” “ Silence, madam,” said the Recorder; •• you are charged before me with disturbing the neigh borhood where you live, last night, and it would now seem that you mean to disturb the Court I — ft also. •Mrt. 1 iwmcy.—“ And I’d like to know, your Anher, it I could help it ? I’d like to know if yourself had three small childcr, and one of them in the measles and another at the breast, how you’d like your lawful husband to be cornin’ in to you ivry night at 12 or 1 o’clock, after bein’ out gallivantin’ the whole night wid the Lord knows who. flow’d you like that 1 ax you ?” The Recorder told Mrs. Tooiney that he was unable directly to correctly appreciate such a po sition, and at the same time informed her that any domestic difficulties under which she might labor wan no justification for her disturbing The rjuiet of the neighborhood in which she resided. “ Oh, it’s all very well for you to talk so, Record her, jewel,” said Mrs. Toomey, “ but a Saint from Heaven couldn’t stand the doin’s and carryin’son of that decay vin’ blackguard. Where did I catch him when he sed he was goin' to John Donaho’a wake, (other night, but as cosey as you playsc. sittin’ beside Mary Moore in Hrien Mooney’s back parlor, and a smokin’ pitcher o’ w hiskey punch before them. Wasn't that purty conduct for a married man and the father of a family? Wasn’t—” “ Stop, Madam,” said the Recorder, “ the present charge has nothing to do with what took place in Hrien Mooney’s hack parlor. Let mi; hear what Terrence has got to say. Terrence stand up and state what was the cause of the disturbance last night between you and Mrs Toomey ?” “ Well, ’pon me sow!, sir,” said Terrence. “ | believe it would be aysier to howld on to a* leprechaun* than to do that, for if I know what was the cause of it no more than a man in tlw> ' S9S9K99BSSSfiBS99nMHHII^^^H moon, may ] lie a mile stone. Nancy gets into the tranhnn betimes, and when she does, site’s, like Larry Neal's wild eouh (colt)—there’s no! stopping her.” O, neighbors!” said Mrs. Tuomey, “ wit-! ness that; listen to the caruclhur me lawful bus band gives—’’ “lie silent, I say,” called out the Recorder, imperatively. “Go on, Mr. Tourney, and ac ! count for the disturbance.” “ Well, your aner, as I wassaytn’,” continued ] lerrence, “ there's no accountin’ for it. llegos ty^ she was cummin’ the Oregon game over ine. W lien I cum in I wanted joint occnpnhuu of the beil, ol course; bin bebowld me, bow Id Nancy was as^ valiant as Senator llanuegau himself, and j nothin’ would playse her but the whole or none ; ami as I was determined she shouldn’t have the whole, she bouuees out of bed and begins to create a hubbub in the street,till the watchman cum and took us both up.” I lie Recorder told Nancy that the assertion of one’s right* when the claim of exclusive pos session was clear, was very laudable, very com mendable; hut that, in this ease, he saw m doubt to the joint proprietorship of 'l'errence lie should, therefore, dismiss the case; hot lit warned Nancy thot, if brought before him on an) similar charge, ho should certainly hold her !• bail. Nancy loft the office not at all pleased, apparently, at the decision of the Court. * According- to the prevailing- belief such in lie taml n* believe in Fairydoni, tin- Leprechaun is of a diminutive species of supernatural beings.

The editor of the New York Herald wrote from this city on the 2Gtli to that paper: “ J a,n perfectly satisfied from every thing ] 1 see and hear, both at Washington and amongst the people that if the. Oregon question is not settled during this session of Congress, the dif ft cullies of settling it hereafter, trill he increas of, and will inevitably lead to the utter impos sibilily of accomplishing it tinder any other basis than that of 54 40. It this question shall , remain an open one, and be thrown before the i people at the elections tiering the next year, i* J will not be in the power of any government o the United States to settle it on the basis of com promise.” The editor of the Herald is not mistaken_he has not misinterpreted the signs of the times. It the people will not send a Congress here, to succeed the present one, instructed to comprom ise short of 54° 40', why, we ask. should the question he settled on less than that limit now i j W’e have long assprted that this Congress was | pledged to maintain the right of the UniTet^States j ” to the tcholc of Oregon—pledged, by the Baltimore Convention issues, to which the en tire democracy of the Union assented—then why should these pledges be forfeited? If the people, in the approaching election, will nut elect mem bers to settle the dispute short of54° 40', how dare any body of men. acknowledging the right ol the people to govern them, do an act note, which they know will violate the public will 1 A compromise of this dispute at this session, conceding any part of Oregon to the British, will involve the country in war beyond peradventure. — Washington 'I'imes. “TIS FOUND AT LAST.” Under a Hash medical cut hearing the above I inscription, used by the independent disciples of JEsculaptus to give eclat to some of their nos trums, the Natchez I* ree 1'rader publishes the correspondence between Gov. Brown of Miss., and Mr. Secretary Walker, in relation to the ** lost commission.” It was said that the Governor enclosed a Sena tor’s commission to Mr. Walker for the Hon. Ja cob Thompson, which he (Walker) withheld from its rightful owner, because lie was not pleased with the Governor’s appointment. The fact is, the commission was sent to him before he had resigned the seat himself, to be delivered to Air. i Immpson, only in a certain contingency, which Air. Walker conceived had not occurred. 1 he Governor clears him of all blame, so does Mr. Thompson, so do the people of Mississippi : and il the Whigs hereabouts have no greater in terest in the matter, we hope they will do lh< same.— Dcm. Recorder. A CURIOUS TALE. The Worcester Massachusetts Transcript pub lishes a story, the scene which is laid in that town, in substance, that a parly of students had fixed upon a certain night when a subject was to be procured them for dissection. The arrangements were completed, the subject procured and the party were in high glee. A young gentleman, the gay est among them, had already taken the scalpel, and raising a corner of the sheet, looked for tin first limn upon the lifeless form of the subject._ He had scarcely done so, when he uttered a wild, piercing shriek, and fell senseless upon the floor. That swoon had well nigh proved fatal. During the interval of an hour, ho was several limes par tially recovered by his terrified companions, hut as often did his eyes wander to the table with a ghastly stare, as if some horrid phantom were there, and as often, loo, with a thrilling rrroan. did he sink back insensible. At length, by 7nearts of various restoratives, he was recovered, more dead than alive. A few broken sentences ex plained the occasion of this sudden denouement. Tliey seanned the delicate form of their recent .subject, with no common emotions, as the rose bud freshness of an apparantly voluptuous sleep seemed to be almost warning it into life. Nor did they wonder at the intense anguish of their companion, for they gazed upon the beautiful form of his Betrothed Bride ! Water—the oni.t proper drink for MAN.—Dr. Alcott, in a recent lecture in Massa chusetts labored to show that water is not only the best,but ihemily drink for man. Five-sixths, ho averred, of tho human system is fluid, and much of this fluid is water. Even tho blood is four fifths of it water. This water is continually being used to. or wasted in various ways, and must be replenished. To secure this result, thirst IS instituted. Thirst, then, whether nat oral or diseased, is the conseauence of a demand of the system—for what ? Not nun, wine, cider or beer; but water. And even if we use other mixtures, it is the water alone which quenches I •he thirst, and supplies tho want which nature ! exhibits within.

DK I) V Oi’T’V ANTI. It I Llo ii S 1*nit 8 As a family medicine, a mild and gcnil« jiurgulive and a purifier of the blood. The .,cu ml UHOof these celebrated Pills throughout the United States, for these forty years puet, and tb« Jtroug rccoiiiineiulationa they have acquired from sli classes of our fellow citizens, places them in a much more elevated situation in publis estimation than any other remedy which has heretofore been introduced. Tiio following are among the many diseases for which l)r. Dyott’s celebrated Pills are so deserved ly distinguished for curing. By their counterac ing properties in removing the bile from ths atom, iioli ‘ they prevent and cure th« bilious fever; chills or ague and fever ; spring and fall fevers; yellow fever; billions cholic ; pleurisy ; dysentery ; woi ms billious vomiting, sick and foul stomach. By cleaning thshowcls and stomach from all jni. purities, they restore th« los.-of appetite,remove Hat ulency, cure the headache, habitual costivcm-ns colds, coughs, asthma, epeliptic fits, tiypuchondrin hysterical complaints, stransguary, gravel, he. By a general ami copious use they will be found very beneficial in curing the rheumatism and roua lumbago or pains in the back. All impurities it the blood yisld to their happy effects, whether pr0 eeediug trom constitutional ailment or from indis erect intemperance. These celebrated pills have been used to very great advantage in curing the dyspepsia or indi gestion, bronchitis, liver complaint, he. They are an infallible medicine for Female Com plaints generally, and especially for removing those obstructions which are the source of their ailments at ce.rtain periods, they possess the eminent advnn tagesover most othsr purgatives, that while they operate gently, they produce neither costivsness debility, or too great excitement. Whenever there is a predisposition to receive di*. ease from marsh effluvia, or trom a too copious use of ardent spirits or from a vitiated state of the bile these pills will assuredly counteract it. They arc highly recommended to travellers, by sen or land, and may be made use of with safety without change of diet and in situations where, no exercisecan be used.
