U GOING THE WHOLE HOG. i?y Cowper. Thus says the prophet of the Turk: Good Musselmen abstain from pork, There is a part in everv -swine ' No friend or follower of mine iIay taste, ivhate'er his inclination, On pain of excommunication. Such Mahomed's mysterious charge, And thus he left the point at large. Had he the sinful spot expressed, They might with safety eat the rest; But for one piece they thought it hard From the whole hog to be debarred, And set their wits at work to find What joint the prophet had in mind; Whence controversy straight arose: These chose the back; the belly those; By some 'tis confidently said, JIc meant not to forbid the head; While others at the doctrine rail, And piously prefer the tail. Thus conscience freed from every clog, Mahomedans eat up the hog. You laugh 'tis well; the tale applied Will make you laugh on t'other side: Renounce the world, the preacher cries; We do, a multitude replies; While one as innocent regards A song arid friendly game at cards; And one, whatever you may say Can see no evil in a play. Some love a concert or a race, And others shooting, or a chace, Reviled and loved, renounced and followed, Thus bit by bit. the world is swallowed, Each thinks his neighbor makes too free, Yet likes a slice as well as he: With sophistry their sauce they sweeten, 'Till Quite frnm f nil in cnn : X 113 CUIU1I. day, the committee were discharged from the further consideration of this strange petition. The committee of public lands, in asking to be discharged, suggested the propriety of referring the subject to the committee of manufactures, both because the members of that committee being much older men, might sooner stand in need of the "renovating recuperative pro cess," and because the process might be looked upon as possessing somewhat the character of a domestic manufacture. Whether, however, the Senators thought with the Psalmist, that ihey would not live always; or whether they had consti tutional scruples, considering the matter as one which did not come within the scope of their powers, they made no new reference of the petition, but dismissed the subject altogether. A scruple might have been founded, perhaps, on that sec tion which provides against the impairing of the obligation of contracts; for Mr. Henry Jones and Leonard Banta could not long administer their renovating lo tion, or whatever be the means bv which i they supply the place of Ponce do Leon's fountain 01 rujevenesceuet;, wmiuui mil king sad confusion in the accounts of those who depend upon post orbit securi ties for monies lent to impatient heirs. New York Ev. Post. From the Wilmington Advertiser. RIP VAN WINKLE. Col. Preston, right vexed that his new-fangled treason, By North Carolina is thought out of reason, Pretends she's asleep & with boisterous mouth, Proclaims her the real Van Rip of the South. With the racket of Nullies just under her nose, T o slumber so soundly, a good conscience shows, And a day may soon come, when the blushing de- rider Will wish HE had been napping in safety be side her. q ' " tiiiijj ij3j CD-1" " 0?Ve extract the following from Col. Preston's speech, at the Richland (S. C.) meeting, chiefly for the sake of the com pliment i t pays to the State of North Ca rolina. The speech is certainly, upon the whole, a rip-roarious production: "Tell me not of difficulties, fears, &c. unequal forces, divided population! I on ly inquire, is the great party that loves do mestic liberty better than foreign oppres sion; is the party of the state, the whig party, ready! If it is, let the President come! Let the Federal mercenaries, his hired butchers of the people, thicken a round us! Let Virginia stand aloof, and, from the great principles, that she has once so nobly asserted, shrink into the minion and pimp of presidential outrage. Let North Carolina sleep on, the Rip Van Winkle of the South! Bring your hireling soldiery about u; and kindle up a social, and, if you can, a servile war, through all our borders! Do all this and multiply it, if you will, ten fold unnn ik the Whig Party, while it shall preserve the courage and sood Drincinlns wh'mU God has given it can never be overpow ered! will triumph at last!" Endless Life. Among, the petitions presented to the U.S. Senate on Monday last, there was one by Mr. Clay of a very novel character. It was from Leonard Jones and H enrv Banta. of Kpntno.kv who represented themselves subjects of enuicbs life, alleging that they had disco vered the means of living forever, and praying a grant of land to enable them to propagate and extend their interesting discovery. In submitting this petition Mr. Clay remarked that it was couched in respectful language, and although he had some doubts of the propriety of pre senting it, still by neglecting to do so, he might incur the endless enmity 0f the pe titioners. He moved to refer the petition to the committee on the public lands uhich was agreed to. On the following Extraordinary Adventure. We un derstand (says the Richmond Compiler) that letters have been received from the county of Franklin, in this State, narra ting the following singular anecdote. A young lady, about 19 years of age, and beautiful, was a few days ago married to a respectable gentleman. There was no restraint imposed upon her inclinations. The match was one of her own taste. The second night after they were mar ried, he complained of a head ache and under pretence of giving him some other medicine for his relief, she administered apreuy strong opiate. Finding, howev er, that it did not lake effect, she informed him that she had dreamt that his hair had turned gray and that with his consent, she would apply something that would prevent it. Willing to indulge her in her humor, he consented for her to make the application, and she then introduced into one of his ears the nose of a phial, of which ihc bottom part was broken off. After which, she went to the fire place, meltpd a nortion of lead. nAdthon nnnr. ed it through the phial into his ear. The bridegroom screamed out in agony when the bride rushing from the room like one frantic, went to alarm and call up one of the family, who repaired to the chamber the agitated gentleman gave an account of the adventure and the plug of lead was taken out of the ear. It is said, that the female has since ex hibited strong marks of derangemeut, and the presumption is that she must have been laboring under some extra ordinary insanity, when she made this at tempt upon her husband's life. Letters have been addressed to gen tlemen of the Legislature, to enquire whether a petition asking for a divorce, would be received by them, dispensing with the customary notice previous to such an application. Some of our readers may perhaps have it in recollection, that a story somewhat similar to this has recently been publish ed in one of the periodicals with this diflerence, that the heroine of the tale had thus made way with some six or seven husbands. We have reason to believe that the above account is really and sub stantially correct: Yawninsr Extraordinarily On Sun. day afternoon, a Mrs. Newton, nftnr hA had come from the church in the city of yuiiiaui, whs seized wttn a lit ot yawn ing, which continued a considerable length of time, and caused her to stretch her mouth so wide that the joints at tbe extremity of the jaw slipped, so that she could not shut it again. She remained in this disagreeable and dangerous situa tion until Mr. Shaw, a surgeon, was sent for, who succeeded in placing it in its natural position. tt?The taking or the losing of an op portunity . is the gaining or losing of great fortunes.4 Land near Raleigh for Sale.
