As the steamboat Hudson was coming up from Hilton Head last night, some tlpef opened a canvas bag, and stole therefrom a pair of mooseskin boots, new, ar.d worth twenty dollars. As there is not another pair like them nearer than the State of Maine, I shall be pretty likeiy to catch this sweet gentleman. I hereby inform him that I will not pay him the first dime to re turn them, but that if I do catch him, I’ll bring him before the Provost Judge and have him in the lock-up quicker than ho ewild pick his grandmother’s of her gold spectacles. MORTIMER THOMSON. ‘‘Doesticks, P. B.” QOLDEN ALE. Written when times were dull, and Golden Ale want ed a market—many years ago, What’s the world to a man without children and wife, He may toil, he may strive, the whole length of his life. Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits ’twill cheer, Till the glow on his cheek drawa some kind creature near. Let him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll be; How his heart will expand when a babe’s on his knee; . Let him never imbibe till his spouse have a share, And blessings and peace will for ever be there. The old maiden, too, had long thought to herself, When no kind hand wus near, she must get on the shelf; But she tried Golden Ale. and its magical train Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again. And lovers in scores to her cottage repair, Y onth blooms on her cheeks and raven's her hair, Ouce agnin in her teens she’s the Beile of the Vale, And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ale. The old and the young to be hearty and hale, Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale, Aud their cellars well store for the cold winter's night As ’tis health to the sick, to the blind it is light.
