THE LAY OF A LOST MINSTREL.
Bill of the Broom, in youth had been
A tailor—cutting blade;
And proved his trade liodid not love,
By making love his trode.
Hi* •‘heart's delight,” industriously,
By toil made many a penny;
Jenny hard worked at spinning, and
Worked hard a spinning jcuny.
All day he’d watch the attic pane,
To see how Jenny got on:
His heart would “cotton" to the maid,
While >he, sweet maid, made cotton.
The youth he wrote to tell his flame,
Slio answer'd, maiden silly;
Ho wore h. r hiltrt on his heart—
Her hoart wasou her Billy.
The course of true love, saitb the bard,
Never yet smooth did rim—
A rival bail begun his suit
Ere Bill his suit begun.
Smart Stephen Strap, with sayings sly,
Jenny would oft divrrt,
Cryiug, “Bill's not expert at seams,
lie only seems expert."
In wrath the tailor learnt tbe end
Of such a fair beginning,
He sent her spinning jenny first,
Aud then his Jenny spinning.
The faithless one with Stephen wed,
Cried Bill, half broken hearted;
“She'll think, of course that I am dead,
When told that Tin departed.”
So quirk enlisting (no one now
His valorous hoart impeaches,)
He hreeches-tnaking still pursued,
Simply by making breaches.
But wars must end; so Bill returned,
And stood with humbled mien,
(Being cleaned out with crossings foul,)
T o keep the crossings clean.
Yet still he on his rival smiled,
When clondsnow hung above;
For Jennv show'll the loro of power,
More than ilia power of love.
But tailors die as well ns men;
For death grants little leisure;
Nor e'er was known to disappoint,
If once he takes his measure.
And fits Ins customer so tight,
No room he leaves for durijjng;
Though if he calls him from his board,
At least he finds him lodging.
Bill's fall, which happened on hit stand,
By every one was wept,
To think that he who swept the way.
At last away was swept!
HE CAME AT MORN.
By T. II. Itaijley.
He came at morn to the lady's liewor—
He sang and play'd till the moontide hour,
He snug of war—he tang of love,
Of battle field, of peaceful grove;
? ho lady could have staid nil day
o bear the gentle minstrel play 1
And when tbe saw the Minstrel go,
Tbe lady's tears begnu to flow.
At midday, with her pago she Went
TO grace a spleudid Tournament,
Ami there she taw an armed Knight. _
With a golden helm nnd plumage white;
With grace lie rode hi* salile steed,
And after many a martial deed.
He knelt to her with words most sweet,
And laid bit trophies at her fuel.
At night, in robes both rirh and. rare,
With jewels sparkling in her hair,
She sought the dance, and smiling same
A youthful prince and breathed her name,
lie sang—it wot the Minstrel strain 1
lie knelt—she saw the Knight agnin!
With I .overs three—bow blest to find
Tbe charms of ail in ono combined.
“At Midsummer Eve, according to a custom
common over Germany, every young girl plucks
a sprig of St. John's wort (Hypericum) aud slicks
it into the wall of her chamber. Should it owing
to the dampness of the wall rctaJu its freshness
and verdure, she may reckon upon gaining a sui
tor in the course of a year; but should it droop,
the popular belief is, that she is also destined to
pine and wither nwny.”
The young maid stole through the cottage dnor
Aed Mashed, as she sought the plant of power;
Thou silver glow-worm, O, lend me thy light!
I must gather the mystic St. John's wort touight,
The wonderful herb whose leaf will decide
If the coming year shall make me a bride,
“Anil thcglnw-wnrm Clime
With its silvery flame
And sparkled nud shone
Through the night of St. John.
And toon as the maiden her love-kuottied,
With nuislcs* tread
To her chamber she sped.
Where the spectral moon her white beams tbed,
• Bloom here—bloom here, thou plant of power.
To deck the young bride, in her bridal hour;'
But It drooped its head, that plant of power.
And ilied the inute death of the voiceless flower;
And a withered wreath on the ground it lay,
More mete for a burial than a bridal day,
’And when the full year had flitted nwny
All pale on her bier the young maid lay!
“Aud fliogh.-.v-worm caino
With its silvery flame
And sparkled nud shone
Through tbe night of St. John, *
And they doted the gravo o’er the maid's cold
clay."

3. Having a quarrel with your wife, and
threatening to shoot yourself In order to excite
her fears or her sympathy; and finding her, in

4. Riding inacrowded stage-coach, to leeward

A few days since a party of twenty-six young
men, from tho East, arrived iu tbit city on their
way to Columbia river, (tbe Oregon,} in the ex
treme ll'est of our country. Their travelling wa
gons, three in number, were peculiarly construct
ed lobe useful in tinir contemplated journey: the
body of tbe wagon was calculated to be used as a.
boat, in crossing or passing on rivers, tho wheel*
liring detarhed and nut into it. During their stay
hern, they encamped every night iu a field near
tho Baltimore nua Ohio Rail Road depot. Car*
were used to convoy their wagons up to Freder
ick, and thoy departed yesterday morning in the
Columbus, much gratified with the comfortable
arrangement made for their conveyance so great
a distance in so brief a period.—Baltimore Fed.
Gazette.
A strange Tisitor.—Wr were shewn yesterday,
a musk rat, killed iu the city on Monday night.
He was of goodly size, measured in length of ho
lly 18 inches, and from tip of snout to eud of tail
27 inches. He was found prowling in the street
between the Tremont llouso and the Tremont
Theatre, and was unceremoniously knocked iu
the head by a Roxbury Artilleryman. He was
presented to the tollman of the Western Avenue,
who ordered him into our presence for inspection.
It is a matter of curious ejaculation whence he
came, and what were hi* inducement* to expose
himself to danger iu a strange place, so far from
kindred and friends.—Boston Transcript.
Valuable property of Silk.—A silk covering of
the texture of a common liandkerehiof, is said to
posses tho peculiar property of resisting the nox
ious influence and of neutralizing the effects of
malaria. If, as is supposed, tho poisonous matter
it received into tbe system through, the lungs, it
may not be difficult to account tor tbe action of
this very simple prerontire. It is well kaowa
that such is the nature of malaria poison, that it
is easily decomposed by even feeble chemical a-
gents. Now, it is probable that the heated air
proceeding from the lungs may form an atmos
phere within tho veil of silk, of power sufficient to
decompose tho miasma in its passage to the mouth,
although it may be equally true that the texture
of the silk covering may act mechanically u a
non-conductor, and prove an impediment to the
transmission of tho deleterious substance.—Cabi
net Cyclopedia.
A friend just returned from Constantinople,
informs tho editor of tho Evening Post, that civil
ization is making evident nnd rapid progress a-
ineng the Ottoman nation. The Turks of the
prescut day, aro nut the Turks of the last century.
They are kind, courteous, and mild, in their man
ners; and tho bigotry of Islamism no longer ex
hibits itself iu rude epithets, Rpplicd to those of
another faith. The terra “Christian dog," it out
of fashiou. The razor has beeu introduced, and
though the old men still retain and cherish the
venerable incumbrance of their beards, the young
er Turks have shaved away all but a pair of mui-
tachocs on the upper lip, retaining not even to
much ns the favorite, worn by some oftheexquia-
its it this country. On all public occasions, at
parades and spectacles of all kinds, the women
raako their appearance in great nnmbert, wear
ing, howevor, the oriental veil, which covers only
the chin, tho upper edge of the forehead, and n
small part of each aide of the face. The late in
troduction of a press, and tbe establishment of a
newspaper, form an important cm iu the history
of Turkish civilization. Should tho progress of
improvement continue as it has begun, wo mnr
J et see the Ottoman empire outstripping thefr
tuition neighbors iu every thing which make* a
cultivated naliou.—Standard.

Snuff taking is recommended to students of the

animal except man that chews tobacco, is the

On an application for bail in open Court in «
.case of bigamy, there was some doubt expressed
hy the drieudimt's counsel, whether bo could give
the proper securities. I am sure, said his Honor,
if this prisouer has had tact and address enough to
get tico wives, he ought to he able to procure two
persons willing to stand his hail. That migh bo,
said Ills counsel, if ladies were permitted to go
his bail. They arc, replied the Judge, if they bo
freeholders.—Greenville Mountaineer.
