“ Faix, your honor/continued Mrs.jDonovan
at the conclusion of adpng drawn out story of her
woes—“he dhrank mis Itrandy wid as little com
punction as if it was i|oU)in but ditch wather, for
the divil a sup ova {jin? an a half he lift behind
him to s.irve another customer.”
Magistrate. —Did h ■ ;:ake it by force?
Mrs. Donovan. —Mi no your honor, hut he
wint on like a play ac K - f until I thought he was
raisin the divil, and IN win to me if I wasn’t
afeaid to say a single «oi-J until the sorra adhrop
was left in the bottle. \Vi troth, your honor, if
he’s not a witch —or .ft divil—or something in
that line. I think he ipast be out ov his seven
senses. I H i •
Magistrate.—Merlin,-what have you to say to
this business ?
Merlin—l say my h r;:-, as quick as winking.
The liquor yvas not worth the drink
ing ; |
And charge, the hog I have my eyes
on *
With selling drugs that’s worse than
poison. (
Mrs. Donovan.—Thiitii the way he wint on
when he was dhrinkin Jrp all me beautiful brandy
widout pay in for it, yoiji h onor.—Jaiziz, you bla
guard, if you call me a|l(og again, I’ll smash your
ugly mans into sra’uheijejens.
Merlin—Beware gor.|J| women, say not so,
And we’ll t|e’ friends before we go ;
Tho’ muchU ’ear your liquor horrid,
Will bore alb ole out through my fore
head. 11
Mrs. Donovan—the livil mind you,or any bo
dy that spaiks in such lik-r outlandish language
as that. Your honor, dear,do you think he gits
it all out ova book, or is it cracke’d wid larnin
he is ? S
Magistrate—He’s eil f-r a fool or a rogue; Mer
lin answer me plainly, ’ «!iat are you ?
Merlin—A man, my qrJ, from hat to shoe;
Flesh, blood sand bones, the same as
you. I
Magistrate—l mean t pat’s your business ?
Merlin—My businessv-bah—I scorn the name.
My business is to seek for fame;
The muses, sir, are my delight;
I woo them il from morn till night.
Come, sweet ITrania, heavenly maid,
Oh come to hu ie own Merlin’s aid.
Magistrate—No hum! tagging, sir, how do you
got your bread ? j
Merlin—My bread, pit—oh!—my answer’s
ripe; i j
I live on sucwjm like a snipe,
I mean a wupkicock, but you know
The rhyme saiys snipe, so let it go.
Magistrate—Give ove I rhyming, sir, and tell
me plainly where do yoi/live?
Merlin—When the sup is bright and hot,
All around I k rny lot,
Lolling in sequestered nook.
Listening to U|j babbling brook;
Or, scorning iljmket, sheet or rug;
Snoozing in the Park so snug;
But in cold v-either, ’tis my plan
To live, my where best I can.
Magistrate—Hang yoh, you rascal speak in
prose. |[ *
Merlin—l will, my loryy -by all the gods,
I meant no harm, but where’s the
odds. ; i
O blest Urani«ii come along,
And give a soul for song.
Mrs. Donovan—The f rh help the poor cray
therybut I believe he wa it|i a slhrait waistcoat
worse nor ray brandy. 1 r&r honor darlint. I’ll
forgive him the brandy, ah the braikin of me
chairs, but I think i’d be a i riiarity to have him
put somewhere that i’d 1 riiig him to his raisin,
an purwint him from spa k|a such unchristian a
language.
Merlin—Thus am I d< tj|n’d.where’er I go,
My jewels hcljife swine to throw.
Mrs. Donovan —You bjjpkguard, if you call me
a awine I’ll make you pal) for me brandy if you
wor as mad as a March Imre.
Magistrate—Does any! one here know this
man '■ j
Watchman —Yes, sir, U do—he’s called the
mad poet, and is always prinking brandy, and
talking nonsense —he doefe arothing for a living,
and lives nowhere—l believe he couldn’t speak
like any other man if he tiled.
Merlin—’Tis true I am/efore my time,
For all men y i shall speak in rhyme,
My lord, I am no cheat, for see
The proofs of ny true poetry.
My hat, with lalf the crown beat in;
My trowserloc ns, not worth a pin;
My coat, deficient of a skirt;
And with, at Vyst, but half a shirt;
And then my jlhirst for brandy—sure
You want no rjibiie—the proofis pure.
Magistrate—l believe ylib-re a better poet than
a man—but your doggre! pjm’t save you—l must
commit you for a vagrantt \
Merlin—O shades of Homer—Milton —O !
And must I tej the tread-mill go.
Magistrate—No, Hon/ii and Bhakspeare say
that you need only be seniti • stone breaking.
Merlin—o Mrs. be kind,
But if wfu’ll kill, why I’m resigned.
Mrs. Donovan—?ron your honor. I’m
almost sorry for bringing ril.ni here, for aflher all
there’s something very niee. e.bout his manner ov
thraitin’ the King’s EnglbfL
Merlin—O poetry, a goq thou art
For soothing dbwn a woman’s heart;
O lady lake it pit emiss,
For here I thayk-you with a kiss.
Mrs. Donovan. —Well that I mightn’t
sin. but if that is’nt the |hvight ov assurance.
However, no matther, for |t ill all rub out when
it’s dry. Your honor, woijlqyou forgive him, an
I’ll take him home, an giv|(.him his breakfast, an
see what I can make of hirji,!
Magistrate. —Mrs. Douajvkln, are you a maid or
a married woman? j 1
Mrs. Donovan. —Neithc| r ;your honor, but I’m
a widdy, and a snug wan t|>i> —the Lord be prais
ed for all his marcies. |
Magistrate—l thought sk!—but you may go,
and take your poet along niih you.
Mrs. Donovan—l thank onr honor kindly, but
faix now yees ueed’nt be la iglain, for I mains no
harm. 1
Merlin—
So let them laugh—w ip cares—the day is
mine, I
For poetry and eeautj take the shine;
On lady on, nor waste :h« precious hours,
But let us hasten to a! ibrosial bowers.
And so saying, tne irnmqitial Mr. Merlin, and
the poetry smitten “Wid|ly” Donovan, made
themselves scarce. I *

Connubial Bravert.-j-As a newly married
couple from the land of pLmpkins and baked
beans were one night lying (in bed talking over
“ matters and things, - ’ a fcjsrivy thunder storm
arose. The loud peals of tju; vider and the vivid
flashes of lightning filled tip m with terror and
fearful apprehensions. Suij.vily a tremendous
crash caused the loving pai| to start as though
they had received an elecirij: shock. Jonathan,
throwing his arms around | sis dear, exclaimed,
“Hug up to me Liz—let’s t|ie-like men.”
Poll districts of NkwjYork.— By the law
relative to registration, ami providing for the
immediate subdivision of wai; cboftbe city ofNew
York, into smaller poll diatrij-ta, which has just
been enacted, it appears that the whole number of
poll districts, 1S 73, instead of 17, as formerly.
The election is limited to a single day; and, with
73 ballot boxes open, each in its own proper poll
districts, the little “world” of the empire city may
accomplish the work and get through the busi
ness of election day, in quiet and order.
A Good Wind for Printers.— The medical
men almost support the New York papers. Pills,
Drops and Poultices, Catholicons and Panaceas,
including the famous “Essence of Gridiron.’’and
some other smutty affairs, fill up whole columns
of the Gotham newspapers. One chap heads bis
advertisement “Integriiy,” another calls himself
“a Public Benefactor,” and a third is a graduate
of forty-seven medical colleges in Europe. All
these bright geniuses have made their fortunes by
studying the materia medica, anatomy, physiology,
and the philosophy of advertising. The last is
the most ingenious part of the business.— Philad.

UscßT.—lt was decided in Supreme Court of
Boston a few days since, in an action brought to
recover amount of a promissory note, that the de
fence of usury , if made out, was good, even
though the action was brought against the
endorsers.
Prince Albert.—A Canada paper contains
the following palpable hit at the “ handsome Al
bert
“ How the folks must have laughed, when this
high an mighty Prince, of £3OO per annum—
(the salary of a teller in a bank) —with the gra
vity ol a Turk, pronounced the words—“ I thee

jackets, embroidered with gold —a brass hamlet
—a pair of pea-green inexpressibles, with a Bol

From the New Monthly Magazine for March.
The Forsaken.
He never meets me as of old,
As friends less cherished meet me
His glance is ever calm and cold.
To welcome, or to greet me ;
His sighs ne’er follow where 1 move.
Or tell what others’ sighs do; —
But though his lips ne’er say « I love,”
I often think his eyes do !
He never turns amid the throng.
Where colder ears will listen ;
Or gives one thought to that poor song,
Once made his eyelids glisten :
But sometimes, when our glances meet,
As looks less warm—moie wise—do.
Albeit, his lips ne’er say, “’tis sweet,”
I often think his eyes do !
Oh ! brighter smiles than mine may glass
His hour of mirth, or sorrow ;
And fairer forms than mine may pass
Across his path, to-morrow ;
But something whispers solace yet.
As stars through darken’d skies do;
His lips ne’er say, “ I don’t forget,”
I often think his eyes do !
