Behold, alas our days we spend!
How vain they be, how soon they end!
BEHOLD
How short a span
Was long enough of old
In those well temper’d days, his time was then
Survey’d, cast up, ana found but threescore years aud
ten.
ALAS
And what is that?
They come and slide and pass
Before my tongue can tell tbee what,
The posts of time are swift, which having run
Their seven short stages o’er, their short-lived task is
done.
OUR DAYS
Begun we lend
To sleep, to antic plays
And|toys until the first stage eua;
12 waning moons, twice 6 times told we give
To unrecovered loss: we rather breath than live.
WE SPEND
A ten years’ breath
Before wc apprehend
What it is to live in fear of death;
Our childish dreams are filled with painted joys
Which please our sense awhile, and waking prove
but toys.
HOW VAIN
How wretched is
Poor man, that doth remain
A slave to such a state as this! •
Ilis days are short at longest: few at most;
They arc hut bad aUiert^y|t fovished out, or lost.
The secret springs
That make our minutes flee
On wings more swift than eagle's wings!
Our life’s a clock, and every gasp of breath
Breathes forth a warning grief, till time shall strike a
death.
HOW SOON
Our new-born light
Attains to full-aged noon! _
And this, how soon to grey-haired night!
We spring, we bud, we blossom, and we blast.
Ere we can count our days: our days they flee so fast.
THEY END
When scarce begun.
And ere we apprehend
That we begin to livq, oar life is done.
Man, count thy days; and if they fly too fast
For tby dull thoughts to count, count every day tbe
last.
UNREQUITED LOVE.
There is a feeling of the heart
Which time or absence cannot quell,
That mock alike the sophist’s art,
Tho glad’ning bowl, thc hermit’s cell;
But 'tis a fervency of love.
Impregnated with deep despair,
Of winning charm, or worth to move,
A heart engaged some other where.
’Tis love as violent as pure,
That, unreturned, corrodes within,
Yet knows no active healing cure,
No other med’eine than to win.
To some it brings a pleasing pain
A pensive mood, a sembte sadness;
It renders others halt insane,'
Or drives thorn headlong into madness.
Oh never, never can be quelled
Tho flame of passion unreqnittcd—
But throws, like lamp in dungeon held,
A saddening beam o’er hopes benighted.

Ladies of Patmos.—'Thero are hardly
three hundred men in Paimos, aud at least
twenty women to ono man; they are naturally
pretty, but disguise themselves so with paint
as to be absolutely frightful, yet that is for
from their intention, for ever since a certain
merchant from Marseilles married one of thero
for her beauty, they fancy there is not a stran
ger comes thither but to make the like purchase.
They looked upon us as very odd fellows, and
seemed to be mightily surprized when they
wero told we only came to search ,or plants,
they imagined on our arrival that we should
carryjinto France at least a dozen wives.—voy-
age into the Levant.
Sponge.—Directly opposite to Rhodes is
a little and almost unknown island, named
Hiraia, which is worth notice, on account ot
tho singular method which the inhabitants have
to get tbeir living In tbe bottom of the sea,
tbe common sponge is found in abundance,
and more than inaoy other part of the Medi-
terranean. Tho inhabitants mako it a trado
to fish up this sponge, by which they get a
living for from comtcniptiblo, os their goods
are always wanted by tbe Turks, who use an
incrcdiblo quantity of sponges in their baths.
A girl in this island is not permitted by her
parents to marry before she has brought up a
certain quantity of sponges, and beforoshe can
givo a proof of her agility by taking them up
from a certain depth.
Many years since in Tenncssee-tlicro was a
season of great scarcity of corn.—Col Crocket
foreseeing this, or from somo other motive,
mrchased up a largo quantity. It rose to a vory
iigh price. Numerous were the applications
to the Colonel to sell. The following is the
substance of a great many dialogues opon the
subject* ••
Purchaser.—Have you any corn to sell,
Colonel Croekot? «. it „t,„,.
C.—Yes, I havo more than I shall plant;
how much do you want!
P.—Ten barrels. . „
C.—Have you got tho money to pay down
for itl
P.—Yes, horo it is.
C.—Then I havo no corn to sell you. all
the corn that 1 1 can spare, is for those that can
not pa£ for ill—Taunton &un.
The Carving Knife.—Mr. Clay’s Re
porter gives us a long report, filling MtfWa
columnf upon tbo subjoct of a carving hnfe
presented to tbe great patron of home consump
tion. Tho letter of presentation very ap
propriately insists upon the peculiar adaptation
ol tho article to mark the respect of tho
donors for "his eminent public services —
Wo must bo permitted to add pur humble
approbation to tho felicitous selection of ibis
present, as well calculated to do honor to the
“MUiunt public services" ol Mr. Clay. A
sword is given by communities to signalize the
achievements of a man who has served his
country in tho field of battle. Could any
thine ho moro appropriate than a carving knife
as a memorial of the exploits of thc great pub-
lie VmmEatcrt—Globe.

Visiter. Well, boys, I am glad to see you
—you aro welcome back to our city.
Chang, Eng. (together.) Thank you. Sir!
—thank you, sir! I am very glad to see you—
allow me to take your hat—let mo give you a
chair.
Vis. Don’t trouble yourselves, boys.
Cb. No trouble, 1 assure you.
Eng. Rather a pleasure, will you take a ci
gar, sir? , , .
Vis. Thank you, boys—it is very seldom I
smoke in the morning, but for the sake of
keeping your company I will take one, ifyou
please—your cigars look too tempting to bo
refused. ■
Ch. Eng. Yes, very fine cigars, tho best
American.
Vis. How? American! Suroly thoy cafi’t bo
American—they have the gonuiuo Havana
complexion.
Eng. They aro American—I’ll prove it*
Ch. Yes—they aro American—I'll prove
Vis. Let mo take a whifl" and I’ll prove it
myself.—(Commences smoking) No, boys, you
ara mistaken, this is not an Ameiican cigar.
Ch. Eng. Ydu say it is not an American—
what will you bet it is not? a dozen cigars?
Vis. Aye, and a dozen added to that.
Eng. 1 will call tho waiter.
Ch. Yes, the waiter will provo it. (They
ring and the waiter enters.)
Ch. Fug. Waiter, where did you got thesis
cigars?
Waiter. At the bar, gentlemen.
Ch. Eng. At the bar—what bar?
Waiter. The bar of the hotel, gentlemen.
Ch. Eng. What hotel?
Water. Why this hotel, tho American.
Cb. Eng. Then these cigars aro American
cigars? •
Waiter. Yes, gentlemen.
Vis. Ah, boys, you are too sharp for me—
tho bet is yours—here, waiter, bring the boys
two dozen cigars.
Ch. Oh no, I won’t smoke you—put up
your purse, sir.
Eng. I won’t smoke you—give tho money
to tho-first poor boy you meet.
Ch. Tell him it is a present from tbe Siam
ese youth, if you please.
Eng. Don’t sBy Siamese boys—a presept
from tho Siamese yooth, say, if you please
Vis. I beg pardon, gentlemen, for calling
you fo>ys—but really that is tho title by which
you aro generally addressod is it not?
Ch. Eng. Never in England—in this coun-
try sometimes. >
Vis. But why not England? f
Ch. Boy is a boy there—a servant boy—
cook boy—school boy— /
Eng. And a young gentleman is a young gen
tleman. . . , } . .
Vis. Well, I am glad you havo sot mo right
in this mattef—my mistake was of the head,
not of the heart. ;
Cb. Oh yes, I daresay—people don’t think
when thoy speak of tho Siamese twins that
they aro young men twenty years of age.
Eng. Suppose you call a young gentleman
of your acquaintance, boy—wont ho resent tho
insult!
Vis. True—true—and why should not tbo
Siamese young gentlemen resent such an cpi*
‘hot? , . „ '■ ,,
Ch. Eng. I look at a man’s heart, not his
words—suppose wo take a seat at tho window,
,f> Vis. P With pleasure—you have tho blinds
closed and can see thoso that pass without be
ing seon. v .
Eng. Yts tho Siameso .youth dont exhibit
himself at the window—ho wouldn’t mako
much so. .
Ch. No—not one sixpence a week!
Vis. What a splendid lady that is passing—
do you see her, Chang, Eng? Is sho not beau-
t,rU Ch. Eng. I can’t tell by seeing her—I must
talk with liir first.
Vis. But I mean the personal appearance ol
tho lady—her foco—her form—you can toll,
surely, by looking whethor you aro pleased
with them? „
Ch. Not at all—not at all—no lady is hand
some without somo sense—you can’t say that
lady has a penny’s worth.
Eng. Nor if she had any more soul than u
musqueto—you must convprso with borbeforo
you call her handsome.
Vis. Your notions aro quite different lroni
tho majority of persons on this subject—but re
ally, I must confess, you havo the most corroct
standard of beauty. You' havo heard, perhaps,
on old saying In this country, “looks are no
thing, behaviour is all.” . ... .
Ch. That’s my idea exactly—a good face is
nothing— ...
Eng. Good form—nothing—
Ch. Fine dress—nothing—
Cb. Eng. Good heart—good senso, every
thing! .
Vis. You do not liko gay dress thoD. \<’n
