Feb. 35,—-43—Im Southern POETRY. OLD ARE AVDYIIITII, BY T. HAYNES BAYLY. Old Age sits bent on Lis iron-grey steed ; Youth rides erect on his courser clack ; And little he thinks in his reckless speed Old Age comes on in the very sa.i.e track. And on youth goes, with his cheek like the ruse, And his radiant eyes and his raven hair And bis laugh betrays bow little he knows ' Os Age, aud his sure companion Care. The courser black is put to his speed, And Age plods on in a quieter way. And little YoUth thinks that the iron-grey steed Approaches him nearer every day I Though one seems strong as the forest tree, Ttte other infirm, and wanting breath ; If ever \outh baffles Odd Age, ’twd be , By rushi.ig into the arms ot Death ! On his eourser black, away Youth goes, Though - prosing Acs may rest at boms, ’ He'll laugh and quaff, for well he knows That years must pass ere Age can come. t And since too brief are the daylight hours For those who would laugh their lives away ; With beaming lamps, aud mimic flowers, He’ll teach the night to mock the day ! Again he’ll laugh, again he’ll feast, s His lagging foe he’ll still deride, Until—wnen he expects him least— Old Age and he stand side by side ! . i He then looks into his toilet glass, And sees Old Age reflected there ! He cries “Alas ! how quickly pass Bright eyes, and bloom, and raven hair 1” j The lord of the courser black must ride , I On the iron-grey steed, s date and slew 1 i . Atid thus to him, who his power defied, ' I OU Age must come like a conquering foe. H i Had the prosing sage not preach’d hi vain, Had Youth not written his words on sand, Had he early paused, and given the rein Os ius courser black to a steadier band ; I Oh I just as gay might uis days have been. Though mirth with graver thoughts might , blend ; And when at his side Old Age was seen, ' etU bail'd as * timely friend. From the Knickerbocker of April. The Clerk’s Yarn.

The captain, quickly discovering that 1 was a perfect novice sea, would have sent me back in the pile. :oat, hud he not been short-handed, and h >ught uy presence necessary to work the ship. Ac t was, he treated me most brut diy daring the passage, and 1 was too i experienced in nauti cal discipline nut to rese. t it as fur as 1 dared.

Wi’.h feelings of utter loneliness, i wandered about, until night had closed ar<>u d ue, when* on turning the corner of a street that led from the square, I saw a perso • rais i.iga poiriard, and about lo plunge it into the nek of a tall man who had stooped, iinmedi atvly in front of him, to raise sum thing from he earth. I darted forward as quick as light ■ling, and dashed the weapon from his ha. d. while the other, hearing the noise, and tur. i g in time to observe what hud passed, struck the assassin a furious blow with a sheathed sword which he carried in his hand, and laid him breathless on the pavement, muttering ut the same time some wordsihrough his teeth, which I took for Spanish curses. He next adaress ed me in tho same language, but findi gmy •replies were made in English, drawled wut, w ith a twang that savored strongly of Cape | Cod: “You’ve done me a friendly turn, yom g i man. and I thank you for it. ‘D—l> that lub berly scoundrel! —he promised me as much; but I thought him too great v cow ard to at tempt it. I’ve settled hi, hash though, and it won’t cost much hereafter for 71-s messing.’ “While he was ruuni g on in this style, 1 had an opportunity of observing his person more closely. He was full six ffi tin height, with great breadth and d< pih of chi st, and long sinewy arms, that look' d dispropoitinned to his legs, w hich were rather small, than other wise. His face was almost hid by a redun dancy of whisker and moustache, and his su. k eueyes glared out like meteors from beneath a pair of dark ami heavy brows. ‘But vho are you? and which way are you goig ?’said he, lookii g »ne fill! in the face, w hen he had finished his malediction. I frankly explained my desperate circ-.instances ; and when my | narrative, to which he had listened attentively, I w. <t co' chid. d. he said : “ 1 can serve you. You are just the man I want.

From the Baltimore Monument. SONR. BY JAMES HUNGERFORD. He knew not that he loved, Though oft his heart bent wild, W hen she some act of his rtprproved; And on him sweetly sn il’J ; And, though, when through the maty danef Her fairy figure moved, He watched her form with tireless glance; Ho knew not that he loved. He knew not that he loved, Though, when the sun was gone; Beneath the evening skies he roved, And mused on her alone ; And though each dream of bliss he fortnej His deep aff-ction proved. For by her smile, twas ever warmed; He knew not that be loved. lie knew not that he loved. So never breathed his flame, ; Although his heart was even moved At mention of her name; But when another sought her hands And she the suit approved, He fled hiss home and native land— Too late he knew he loved.
