Imitation of the old English Poets.—To N * * • *•
Thinks’t thou a kiss like this deserves a songf
Lady, I call that touching lips—not kissing.
Your Lexicon explains that matter wrong,
It Is no kiss when soul and sense are missing.
Why ’twas as light and careless as e bee
Pausing a moment on some flowret’s bell,
Then passing off again as instantly.
Finding no honey in its paiuted cell.
A true kiss tq. its inmost depths doth stir,
The heart, awakeuing new sensations in it.
It is the soul’s most potent conjurer,
And ealls up all its spirits in a minute.
I’d have thy lips approach as if a wife
Unto her far off husband did repair, <
And settle down u|<on my lips for life.
To breed a family of kisses there.
O’L.
The following Song, wiitten for tho occasion, by
Mr. Finn, was sung in character by him on Friday
evening, tor the benefit of the Charity Fund of the
Fire Department, and received with unbounded up
plause. Boston Patriot.
THE FIREMAN.
Dear Ladies I’ll sing you a song.
And I’m certain that I’m in the right of it;
Ytsjtflaming affair—hut not long—
Tho’ the Firemen here may make light ol it.
One Fire they like, without doubt.
Which is lit l y the Loves and the Graces,
*Tis the brilliancy here breaking out
F rom the window s—of beautiful faces.
To a Fireman’s calling I mean
To draw a few parallel cases;
In the course ol my song ’twill be seen
What a number of folks it embraces.
The Ladies are Firemen by trade.
When we rii.g all the Relies round about, sirs;
A coquette often dies an old maid,
Because—she’s put all the sparks out, sin.
The duellist swears that his ire
Is any thing else but a joke, sirs;
But before be can get to the “fire I"
The uffair has all ended in jmoAe. sirs.
The dandy exclaims in his glory,
“ I’m in love, damme. p«st all endurance!
Though on fire in my uppermost story,
You see, I’ve enough ot assurance.’’
\Vben a Fireman leaves his own fire
For the tavern, cigars, and the bowl, sin,
No wonder wives feel e desire
For—hauling him over the coals, sin. '
To all fires, as soon as begun.
You know very well what a race he has;
There’s one, though, from which be will run,
And that’s from n fieri facias!
Cold water we get. and such slops;
Yet from one in the morning till twelve, sirs,
We’ve so frequently taken our drops.
We’ve become ardent spirits ourselves, sifs.
May our children be Firemen complete;
And front fortune this boon we will beg, sirs,
May they never want Pumps to their feet;
And always have Hose to their legs, sin.
When Monarchy built up his crown,
(•Inr old Father-firemen took, sirs
Their Ladders, to pull his house down;
And they did it by Hook, nr by crook, sir*.
But my ditty is now just about
Long enough in all conscience to tire ment
As our Company’s given to spout.
We’ll ploy nwayVtVe good f’lar.MKS !

Never was there n more general good feeling
exhibited upon the turf than at this race. AH
the coils were favorites, and the friends of each
were sanguine of success. The sports of the
day closed witii the utmost harmony. '
In ihe course of the day, I was not a littlo
amused at u trifling occurrence, which I thoup t
would end in a fracas { but I was very happily
disappointed; it passed ofl'in merriment, though
somewhat nt the expense ofa person I did uoi
know.

Great Colt It tee—Sweepstakes—Mile Heats
Entrance $500, Purse $2000.
On tiit* 4:1) insi. this nice wits run over the
St. Caiharino Course, by the four following
colts: „ .
Colonel Ringlmms Red Rover, (Pucolet)—-
Ridel’s dress, red cap trimmed with silver cord
—red merino jacket with blue sleeves—white
puiituloons—red boots,
Mr. Banks’ Patti Pry, (Pucolet)—Rider’s
dress, s Ik jacke;—white pantaloons and red
boots,
Mrs J. Dunbar’s Stockholder,(Stockholder)
Ruler’.* diess, red cup and jacket, und white
pantaloons.
Mr. L. P. Gustine’s G orge Washington,
(Madison)—Ridet’s dress, ted cap and jacket,
and white pantaloons.
This rare excited unusual imerest, as all the
colts were native. Al hough the day was ex
tremely unpleasant* u numerous concourse ot
anxious faces was upon the ground long before
the eventful hour. Wtien the colts wero
brought upon the field, Paul Pry appeard to be
ihe lavorite forthe fitst heat.
First beat. At the word ••Oo,” they all Bash
ed «lf in fine style—Paul, as wo expected, look
the truck and led for half a mile, when ihe Ro*
ver, entertaining some slight objections to mud
and Witter thrown from Paul s heels, took tho
liberty to pa*s him, Stockholder bore down
gallantly upon the Rover, and disputed the heat
with great power. Greek had met Greek, and
every inch was contested With tho true spirit of
the Pucoletsa—excitement was on tiptoMa-head
to head and both under the Whip—and thus
they reached the stand. The judges entered
udoad heat.—Paul Pry dropped tn—hut did not
intrude. Washington was some lengths behind
Paul* .
Second host. Paul, "resolved never to do
another kind act," quit the ground ami took
George Washington With linn. The field was
now to be contested single handed. The ex
citement was utmost inci edible. Two to one
were bet on Stockholder* as he was evidently
in better order for repealing—the Rover h.iv«
ing too much flesh. Off they dashed ngniti with
thi> fury of war dogs. Tin* Rqver took ihe
track at the second ten)—Stockholder hung
close upon his heels, end now and then ntulo
an nttempt to tetriovo his loss; but the Rovet
shook out u reef or two, end left the enemy
■ boat two lengths astern.
The l ien is of 8 oikh"h!er were still strong
'll the opinion lit n lie would take the next heat,
and n:ill bet freely.
Third heal. Ti:e gallant Revet ompped h a
adversary to tin* h ew r<J, and c.'me n under an
ei ,sv press of canvass, nnd in the mosl beanl ful
style, some six or' eight ieugtlts ahmid. Thus
the lull el w.s richly won, and the Rovw au*
Bounced Um beta 0i tkedaf*
When the colts were brought upon the ground 4
I obseived r.ither n Jcro, tints looking gentled
iimn, with his overcoat thrown far back upoti
ll.s shouluora—lowurm* suspended, to his vest
by ins thumbs; his hat stuck upon the auto of
ins iteud, at an angle of about 45 degrees j bis
bools fastened to n pair of spurs of about half a
pound’s weigh; (eel mi nus) and ihe whole man
hung to a pairofenotnious whiskers, the dimen
sions of which I will uot give—in a word, ha
was a “Georgia*!nan,’.’ and a major of course*
. “Paul Pry against tho field,” bawlod tho
TVlijur, with an air of self-importance, “Vat
■all Out you say 1“ echoed o little Dutchman,
wit > had examined the colts very minutely
“Viitl”—Und without noticing the advan.t o»
oftlte Georgia-rum’* bet, Mynheer Speiget
replied, “I vtli be mine horsh shuttle nnd bri

The question was asked litm in a tone of per

of the mouth, that the Majpr “twigged.” “Go
to it—you d—d sour crout rascal," answered
tlte Major, who was almost knee deep in mud,
“Yawl yaw!” replied the Dutchman with n

“sour crout islt better ash possum fa. uud shw ito

and the M ijor was not tt little unnoyed by tho

“Hurrah 1” shouted a Stentorian pair of lungs"
