As the stoamboat Hudson was coming np from Hilton nead last night, some thief opened a canvas bag, and stoic therefrom a pair of mooseskin boots, new, and worth twenty dollars. An there is not another pair like them nearer than the State of Maine, I shall be pretty likely to catch this swoet gentleman. I horebv inform him that I will not pay him the flrgt dime to re turn them, but that if 1 do catch him, I’ll bring him before the Provost Judge and have him in the lock-up quicker than he could pick his grandmother’s pocket • 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 Ala and his spirits 'twill cheer. Till the glow on his cheek draws some kind creature near. Let him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll be; How h!s heart will expand when a babo’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 hers el £ When no kind hand was near, she must got on the shejf; But she tried Golden Ala and its magical train Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again- And 'overs in scores to her cottage rapair, Youth blooms on her checks and raven’s her hair, Once again in her teens she’s the Belle of the Vale, And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ala The old and the young to be hearty and halo, (should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ala And their ce’lars weil store for the cold winter’s night As 'tis health to the sick, to the blind it is light.
