From the London Magazine. HOBBLEDEHOY. "A of a man nor a bit, Hut a Hobbledehoy." Old Song. Oh there is a time a happy time, When h bov is jvist half a man; When I idles ir.av kiss him without a crime. An I Hirt him like a tan: When dames with their daughters will leave him alone, Tf he onlv will seem to fear the n; While he a man or a little more grown. They never would let him come near them. These, rillv! thec were the days when cu Were mv boyhood's earliest flame When I thought it an honor to tie your shoe, And trembled to hear your name When 1 scarcely ventured to take a kiss Tho vonr lips seemed half to invite me; IVit, LihV I soon got over this When I kissed and they did not bite mc. Oh those were gl idsome, and fairy times. And our hearts were then if: the spring
When I pissed my nights in w ruing you thymes,
Aod mv days in hearing you sing. And d v-A vim remember your mother's dismay, When she found in your drawer my sonnet; And the beautiful verses I wrote one day. On the ribboa that hung from your bonnet! And the seat we made by the fountain's gush, Where voiir tas'i you were wo.it to s';
And how I lay under the holly bush, Fill vour governess went away:--And how, when too lcog at your ta -. : you sat, Or whenever a kis 1 wanted, I braved like an ass or mewed like a cat, Till she deemed that the place w:is haunted? And do not vou, love, remember the d ivs,
When I dressed you for the play When I pinn'd your 'kerchief and laced your stavs ln the neatest and tidiest way? And 1 v on forget the kiss you gave, When" I to'-e" y hands with the pin; And ho .v vou wondered men would not shave The beards from "thur horrible chin? And no vou remember the garden wall 1 ciimb'd uj) every night And the racket we ma le in the servant's hall, When the wind had rutru rne light; Wh jo Sally got up in her petticoat, And J!m c mo out m h:s s ui t And 1 silenced her with a guinea note, An 1 biiiuled him with a apiirt? .And dout vou remember the horrible bite 1 g"t from the gardner's hitch WiH';.

THE PMOVINCL OF TiiXAS.
Louisiana, vary from half a mile to a mile in depth; after that, the country recedes into interminable swamps the prolific sources of the depopulating diseases of that region. In
Texas, the lands, instead ot declining, gra-
dually ascend from the banks of the rivers;
and instead of falling into swamps, are backed by beautifully rolling prairies and post oak
hills, a (Fording in many places plantations varying in depth from three to six miles. There is, properly speaking, no such thing as a swamp in Texas. 1 be prairie nature of the country affording lo the sea-breeze an
unimpeded circulation, and the absence of swamps, must render it infinitely more healthy than Louisiana. There are no uplands in Louisiana fit for cultivation, with the Exception of a portion of the parish of Eayt Feliciana, rendered of little value on accoudf of its hilly situation. In Texas, in additioiV to the superior depth of the plantations on the water courses, there are millions upon millions upon millions of acres of upland, capable of producing more cotton to the acre, and that of a longer staple and finer texture, thui our best land in Tennessee. In the same area, then, we would have a ten times greater amount of fertile land in Texas than in Louisiana. In relation to navigation, Texas is washed ori one side along its whole extent by the Gulf of Mexico, while its interior is diver sifted by the Sabine, the Natchez, the Trinity the Brasos, the Bernard, the Colorade, the
.Kio Grande, and the other streams of minor
. r i i
importance. home ot tnese streams win
admit of flit and steam boat navigation for
three or four hundred miles, and all of them
moderate sized vessels as high as tide water. Salt water and iron ore are abundant. Some
mines of the precious metals are already known, and when the country, is more fully explored, many more will doubtless be dis
covered. There are any quantities of game
here, such as wild horses, mules and cattle, buiTalos, bears, wolves, deer, and turkeys -r
The water courses abound in fish.
In regard to population, there are from
twelve to fifteen hundred Mexicans in Texas, (including the garrisons) nineteen twentieths
ol whom are settled in the two villages ot St. Antonio and Nacogdoches The emi
'grants from the United States amount to five
!or six thousand souls: more than half of
these are situated in Austin's erant. The re.
maindcr principally occupy ur.grantcd lands
From this it will be seen that the losses sustained by Government, in consequence of the
numerous squatters who seated themselves
upon lands to which it was entitled in Louisi an i arc not to be apprehended to any exten
heie. There is a number of Indian nibes
in this country, most of which, having removed from other parts of America, within a few years past, make no claim to the soil. The idea that rains are too unfiequent here to mature a crop, is entirely unfounded. An experience of 7 or S years has resulted in the production of crops comparable with those of the most highly favored portions of
the glob..

A gentleman v ho witnessed the performance-, at the U s; on the ;6th inst. has communicaicd the loiiowing particulars: About 3 o'clock, the schooner Superior appeared in sight, towed by a small oar boat. When within a short distance of the rapidi, the small boat made lor the shore. The Superior came down in the centre of the channel, between Goat Island and the Canada shore On ihe first plunge into the rapids, the mists of the schooner fell overboard, with a crash, she then dragged down a few rods, and stuck fast on a rock, to the great disappointment of the many thousand specta
