by wiley waters.
A maiden, bright and bonnie oyed,
In pensive mood, sat down beside
St. Antonio's silver tide—
A smile, ft bright, sweot, catching smile, .
Still dimpled round her mouth the- while;
And fair ftnd free, her glance stole
Like Eden sunshine to the soul.
Through her peachy cheeks in beauty rare,
And heightened by the evening air,
The rose and lily vied together
Like twilight hues in summer weather.
The wooing breeze did oft caress
Some scattered, waving, flaxen tress,
And seemed to leave reluctantly,
Sport so unforbidden by the lady.
With her hand, a small, soft, fair one,
A grace or sylphide bright, might own—
As thought rose light, or deeper grew,
Small twigs upon the wave she threw,
And watched them dancing on the tide,
Or round and round, with the current glide i
Away upon the murmuring wave,
As fancy's thought flits through mind's cavc.
Thus, one by one, youth's hopes are cast,
As impulse moves against the blast,
On the strangely heaving waves of life,
To live or perish in the strife,
And one by one, we view them glide,
Dancing away upon au adverse tide.
I moved to go, but the maiden fair,
Tossing back her flaxen hair, .
While round her mouth the dimples broke,
In words of witching music spoke;
Such thought to cherish must be wrong—
Meet to word a Bachelor's song;
Tis true that youth hath many dreams,
Carlessly cast on life's noisy streams,
But among them all, the hopes of love
Will gaily float the tide above.
A catching smile and a wicked look,
Ajs could ne'er an Anchorite brook,
The maiden gave, and.skipped «Way
Like a Houri blithe, with a carol gay.
[For the Inquirer.
Mr. Editor:—In No. 25 of the Gonzales In-
quirer, appears before the public a commun i
cation subcribed "Texian,". in which he states
himself conscious of his weak side, that "it is
with some hesitancy he gives the same," and
if he thinks the same "will prove stale and
uninteresting," he has but judged right, and
speaks as such a man should always do, with
humility and without overrating his own ca
liability.
In said composition, " Texian" gives a des-
cription or at least attempts to do so, of the
mountains on the upper Guadalupe, and thinks
the samo to be a poor country, entirely settled
by "Dutch," and just the ¿ountry for " sheCp,
goats and Dutchmen."
It seems to be above tho power óf compre-
hension of the said "Texian;" to appreciate
the beauty of such a country, and he may leave
this to tho "Dutch." To judge by said com-
mutation, description or whatever it might be
termed, "Texian's" education seems to have
been neglected, else his sense of beauty would
be more improved or he would have studied a
little more geography or history, and know the
distinction between Holland and Germany, or
Dutchman and German.
The Germans in America, and especially in
Texas, seem to be destined to make knowl-
edge ft science among their American brcth
ren more universal, which seems, indeed to be
highly necessary, as such an instrument; like
the communication of " Texian" can be iiiade
a reading matter, for a people which seem to
bp not wholly destitute of intellect.
The ignorance of many Americans in con
founding tho expressions, ^utch and German,
will make an exphmatiófr neWsssoryj which I
will give for the benefit of all such men like
our '< Texian." The inhabitants only of-that
country which "on the map is marked with
large perceivable letters as Holland, are ¿aíled
Dutch; but all the inhabitants of that part of
Europe, which on the map is marked as Gejv
many, and which consists of not less than 82
Principalities, are called Germans. To com-
prehend this, I should think would not cause
"Texian" so much headache, although, gene?
fftlly his train of thougHtH seem to be in so:
broken and rugged a state, as the mountain
region which he attempts to describe. It is
owing to this that in one strain he is speaking,
in said instrument of an Englisly Minister and
three hogs weighing 1000 lbs, No; friend
" Texian" will do better to employ himself
with " throwing rocks at* the tops of the tall
cypresses" in the moubtains,'than to endeavor
to write so learned about Dujch, Germans Ac.
Often I heard by way of conversation
many Americans alike friend "Texian."

who thinks himself by the paleness of his 'skin*
superior to any German.
By the foregoing it is not intended to say
that such an ignorant comprehension is gene-
ral among tho natives of this country. I know
this not to be the case, by the politeness and
humbleness displayed by the American caridi
dates, for the several offices at, the time of tlie
elections; and am fully convinced,, that at least
tliese gentlemen, will own that the whitenoss

suporior to their own.
I wish that all the Americans who doubt the
whiteness of the German or Dutch, as Texi-
an" calls them, may come to the understanding
that the Germans are not black, and not even
green; but that they are on a direct turn to
occupy such an independent situation as Ang'
lo-Gerrnans, which will not degrade their dc
scendants, tho Anglo-Americans.

a funny police case.
Some time since the following laughable
scene came off in the Jefferson Market Polico
Office, before Napoleon Bonapart Mountfort
Esq., the sitting magistrate.. Enter a Patland-
er,.with a nose as red as an Alderman's visage,
and which had become ensanguined by a co-
pious discharge oozing through a dirty rag tied
over a recent wound on the scalp. After giv-
ing his name and residence to "the coort," the
following dialogue took place:
Magistrate. Well, Patrick, what can we do
for you to-day ?

ship's glory.

Pat. Och, sure, it isn't his fault that he
hasn't, for he intinded it, and nothing surer.
Mag. I suppose an assault warrant will

3 very quintessenco of a Christian Com-
1 is contained in this brief extract. Had
such a spirit been ever Since enforced and per-
petuated, the whole world would have boon
vastly moro advanced in wealth aiid civiliza-
tion. f
But yet the contrast afforded by two hun-
dred years is marvelous in the extreme. The
merchant is no longer a wandering wayfarer,
who must buy ih« favor of "all kings, princes,
and persons, in adthority!" On the waters,
every latitude, from froV.on north to the un-
known regions of the south, and every longl
tude on the globe, is whitened by the sails of
ships that excels in fleetness the summer's
cloud. Hugo steamers, setting winds and
waves at defiance, are rushing in all directions
over the briny waters, and penetrating every
riyer, bay, and inland lake. On the land,
roads of iron are stretched across continents,
spanning tho rivers, tunneling the mountains,
from sea to sea. Thereon,' with a speed far
more than fabulous belching forth flames afld
smoke,' " tho horses of fire and chariots of
firo" unite tho scattered villages in an Unbro
ken street, and make the great forests appear
like the edges óf paradisiacal gardens.
Shall the question now be asked: "Canst
thou send the lightnings, that they may go
and say unto thee, Here we arc?" The light-
nings, are literally chained and at the service
of man. It would now be no surprising feat
to ''.girdle thiá earth in forty minutes," time-
really nothing extraordinary to girdle it in
forty minutes less than no time. Cities in
different climates, and with seas botweon, re-
port each other's traffic at noon, and hearken
to the murmur of each other's hourly moods
and moiiientary impulses. The statesman
rises to Speak, and his eloquence, clear and
strong, penetrates space with the rapidity of
thought, and his words have gone to the onds
of the earth as soon as they have fallen from
Subltmer in this world know I nothing, than a
peasant saint, could siich now anywhere be
met with; Such a one will take thoe back to
Nazareth itself; tliou wilt see the splendor of
heaven spring forth from the humblest depths'
of earth like a light shining in gTeat dark-
ness."
Such is the lot and duty of man! Labor!
Labor on in some shape for a life. Labor for
thyself, thy household, thy country, the .world.
There is no respite. Onward, onward, drive
the spirit of Commerce—and it will elevate
you, enrich, ennoble you. Clothe thyself
georgeously, fare sumptuously if yoir will, but
id tho same luxuries of wealth to thy
neighbor who possesses not the aame means
',£,¡l'ty to acquhe. . ; .
What is there now, or over has been In
world, grand or glorious, that has not been the
product of jabor either of the body or tho
mind! Tho treasures of genius and art are
its work ; the cultivated fields are its toil ; the
busy marts, the rising cities, the rich, empires
of the world, are but tho great treasuries of
labor. The monuments, castles, towns, and
temples óf Europe; the mounds and the buried
cities of America, aro but the gigantic achieve-
ments of labor. Take labor from the world
and it leaves it a blank, without a history,—
Labor on then, as the great movements of the
world shall direct. If you havo genius, de-
velop it. If you have porsevercnee, prpve it.
Labor on without wealth if suoh js ypur lot
Labor on tho more lustily;.with wealth, for it
is a means by which all the world can be .con-
quered from indolence and ignorance—from
famine, starvation, and untimoly death.

Does drouth parch the broad ileitis ( f a na-

ple, a thousand ships laden with plenty speed
their way on their errand of mercy, and the
monster is kept at bay. Is a country stifled
with populatiort, and torn with Chartisli riots,
and perplexed with the problems of industry
and poverty, broad Ophirs appear at the anti-
podes, and tlio transit to peace, plenty and
freedom is rapid Arid relieving. The transmis-
sion of people, products, intelligence, customs,
ideas, interests, is now the prevailing practice
of the age. Civilization is everywhere making
a Common level. A place for the superfluous
fruits, labor, leisure and-talent is the demand.
Tho locomotivo spirit of Commerco drives
savage life away from its haunts, or absorbs it
in usefulness and progress. Imbecility is
prostrated, and overrun. Action, intenso ac-
tion, teems in all the arteries of social life.
Evciy grade arid quality of genius is inspired
to greater achievements. Servitude, upaid,
unwilling servitude, must disappear. A now
heart is given to labor, and it lifts up the
spirit and enoblés the man.
