ORIGINAL POETRY.
For the Weekly Independent.
BELTON, Bell County, Texas.
fiel ton, thou young prairie child,
With cottage rude and suburb wild,
And crystal stream with rocky bed,
From which the Indian late has fled;
Cradled in a flowery dell, t
The fairest germ of lovely Bell,
I fondly hope the day is near
When a city thou wilt appear;
And Science here a home may find
To guide aright the erring mind;
And Music, with her sister Arts,
May gather here to act their parts.
Gome Artisans, you must lend your aid;
You can patrons find, whate'eryour
trade. ■
And none excepting Lawyers need to
fear ■
But what they can make a living here.
APRIL 27,1857. . SABRINA. •
A GREAT TIME COMING.
If Dr. Cummings, a famous Scotch
philosopher, has not made an error as
gigantic as a grain of sand in liiu cal-
culations, the world is going to close
up its accounts very suddenly and
settle with its creator on a very slight
dividend. Of little consequence will
it be to us, poor mortals, whether
house-rents go up or down in the see-
saw of the coming spring, whether
beef promises io advance or recede
in prices next summer, whether Gen.
Walker succeed or fa'l, or whether
Kansas becomes a free or slave State.
Dr. Cumming's announces that a com-
et, now on its irresistable way, is des-
tined to strike the globe we inhabit on
the 13th of June and reduce it in an
instant, to an impalpable powder.—
Such au event, at this moment, would
be extremely awkward. It would ac-
tually anticipate, by a month at least
the contemplated Reduction of our new
tariff! In fact it would seriously
disturb the civil as well as physical re-
lations óf the globe: and we are sur-
prised that a congress of nations has
not been called in consequence, first
1o" remonstrate against such violent
proceedings, and secondly to ascertain
if Dr. Cummings ibe so insensible to
all kinds of appeals that it will not be
possible to postpone this calamity to a
"more convenient, season." We are
told by Highly imposing authority
t that, when the wo^ld was a few mil-
Ilions of .years old, apd the animal,
man, having been perfected in type
from its original, tjie monkey, had oc-
cupied the crust of. the earth some
sixteen or seventeen hundred years
more, a comet did encounter our plan-
et in its erratic flight. The result
was unfortunate for both. The com-
et collapsed and went off at a
tangent into infinite space. The con-
I cussion altered the orbit or path of
1 the earth in its motion round the sun
from a perfect circle to something like
an ellipse. More than this, it swerved
the poles of the earth several degraes
from their vertical position. This
made dry land of the ocean, and com-
pelled the ocean to overflow the dry
land. Our histories christen that ca-
lamity the deluge. Since the change
of polar position, the temperature of
the earth, instead of being universally
mild, equable and invigorating, has
become changeable, inconstant, full of
extremes; and human lile in conse-
quence, has dwindled from the respect-
able Hverage of seven or eight hun-
dred years to the modest sum of three
score and ten. Now, how do we
know that this comet, which x)r. Cum
minis assures us derigns to give usj
such an unceremouious' visit in a few j
weeks, is not the same one that forty-
two hundred and five years ago, came
into collision with the earth, and de-
ranged everybody's business so effect-
ually, except that of the ancient boat-
man, Noah, and his associates? Why
may we not fancy that , having gather-
ed up its strength and girded up its
loins during that long period, it now
proposes to avenge itself handsomely
in another bout, for the defeat it suf-
fered, and the flight it was forced to
submit to on thai occasion.
But stop! Only allow us to sup-
pose, Dr. Cummings, that the comet,
instead of knocking the_world into the
middle of the next era, might again
meet with a complete demolition in the
contest. The earth has been solidify-
ing ever since its last encounter. It&
«rust has been hardening, little by lit-
tle, from that day to this. —
Why not, then, such another result?
And why might not the concussion,
this time, knock the poles back again
to their original place—that is, destroy
their obliquity, andrestore them totheir
original position? If so, only think
,of the delightful consequences! The
"vote-yourself-a-furm " individuals:
will demand no more "agitation," for!
the world will become a Garden of i
Eden in every zone. The ocean will
engulph all existing rights of propeity
on shore, and the dry land, returned
to u from the beds of the sea, will
' have no owners except those who de-

Dr. Cummings, your comet might an-
tedate the milienium—in which case,

jubilee; and the past being wiped out

would have a notable chance to begiu

MOFFAT'S LIFE P1LLL AND PUCENIX
BITTERS.
THE great popularity with which Mof-
fat's Life l'llls jmd Phoenix Bitters have
attained, in consequence of the extraordina-
ry cures effected by their use, renders it un-
necessary for the proprietor to enter into a
particular analysis ot their medicinal vir-
tues or properties. Having been more than
twenty years before the public, and havinS
the united testimony ot Three Millions of
persons who have been restored to the enjoy-
ment of perfect health by them, it is be-
lieved that their reputation as the best ve-
getable medicine now before the public,
admits of no dispute. In almost every city
ani^village in tlie United States, there are
many who are ready to testify to their effi-
cacy in removing disease, and giving to the
whole system renewed vigor aud health.
In cases of Scrofula, Ulcers, Scurvy, or
Eruptions of the skin, the operation of the
Life Medicines is truly astonishing often
removing in in few days every vestige of
those loathsome diseases, by their purifying
effects on the blood. Fever and Agre, Dys-
pepsia, Dropsy, Piles, and in short most all
diseases, soon yield to their curative prop-
erties. No family should be without tliem,
as by their timely use much suffering and
expense mav be saved. Prepared by
