[for the southern tribune ] LINES Upon the death of the late S. S. Prentiss, of Miss. BV L. L. WILSON. Oh ! I have roaiu'd o'er fertile fields, In regions far away— The lofty dome that rear'd its head, I’ve seen in ruins lay The wrecks of grandeur I have seen, Have seen the mighty fall— ' And youth and beauty prostrate lie, Beneath oblivion's pall t Where human genius hath devis'd To rear a mansion grand, I’ve seen it crumble to decay, ’Neath Time’s oblivious hand. All these I’ve sternly look’d upon, Nor yet with heart of grief— Because ’tis Nature’s own decay, Just like the falling leaf! But oh ! to see a man of might, Os high majestic mind, And cultivated genius rare, That every grace combin'd. Nor wreck of Time, nor fallen dome, Can grieve me thus to see, A great man laid beneath the sod, By Fate’s cold stern decree ! A Yankee at the Adams House. Some weeks ago, a very long brown Down Easter, attired in one of those cos tumes which are nowhere to be met with except upon the stage, a tall bell crowned hat, short waisled blue coat, with enor mous pewter buttons, a vest as yellow as a barberry blossom, a pair of corduroys whose highest ambition seemed to main tain their ascendancy over a pair of enor mous cowhides that had trodden many a hundred miles of logging-paths, “might have been seen,” Jack-knife and shingle in band wending bis way up Long wars, in the realization of his life-long anticipa tions of “seenin’Boston.” Attho corner of Merchants’ Row, his progress was ar rested by the lumbering transit of a two. story house on wheels drawn by half a dozen yoke of oxen, with the people in side pursuing their usual avocations. What un arth is that ere ] he asked a by-stander. Ob! nothing, replied the "towneythe folks are only moving—that’s all. When we move down here—we do it, house and all. Je-rusalem ! Wall! that beats all »a tur. Wall cap’n what’s that ’ere big stun house over the left ? That’s the new Custom House, li’s a mighty bad location, but they’re going to move it next week. Thunder and Molasses ! it’ll take all the oxen in creation for to start her! Oh ! they use elephants for moving such large buildings. And how many elephants it'll take] Upwards of a hundred. The Yankee cut a deep gash in his shingle and walked on. Ho next inquired for the Adams House for he had "hearn tell” of that, ami was determined “to progress during his juve nility, aware of the impossibility of doing so at a more advanced age.” He soon found the “tavern” and the “deacons,” liberally “darning the expense.’’ Having “slicked up” a little, he witnessed with some amazement the operations of a setvant on the gong, simply remarking that "he know’d what sheet lightnin’ was. but this was the fust time he’d ever heard of sheet thunder.” He followed the ciowd into the dining hall, and was usher ed to a seat, where he ensconced himself, tucking his towel under his chin with a sort of desparation, as if ho was going to be shaved or scalped. The sight of the covered dishes added to his amazement. Dod dern it! he ex claimed, es I ever heerd ofcookin’ on the table! hut here they’ve gone and sol tin kitchens alloverthe lot. Whar’s the fire to come from—that’s what I'd like to know ] He got along with the soup very well, and was pausing for breath, before he fin ished it, when a waiter snatched his plate away and was running off with it. Hello! you sir! vociferated the Yan kee —I see you—fetch that ere back quick er’n link lightning or else you’ll hev your head punched. His plate was returned, and he finished bis with dignity. After waiting a moment, he raised his voice again, and summoned the offending waiter sternly. Kalkelate to starve me I No, sir. Wall—why don’t you fetch on some fresh fodder—darn ye ? Th cre’s the carle, sir. 11 hire's the cart ] And what in the thunder am I to do with the cart when I’ve got it. Lookout you pesky sarpent, or you’lle catch it. The hill of fare. I don't pay my hill till I’ve had my fod der. The waiter humbly explained his mean ing. What’s all these crack-jay names mean? Give me somthin’ plain and hearty—biletl corn beef-—and fetch it about the quirkes while I look over this paper and *ee what else I’ll hev. The meat was brough* him. Hold on ! was the next order. What’s this here] M-a c-c-a—Read it, wount you, sir ] Macaroni, Sir. All right cap’n—hurry iton. The dish was brought. The eternal cuss! roared the Down Easter, es I liaint as great a mind as ever 1 had to ker-wo-lop yer, and made an ex ample of ye oti the spot. What do ye mean by runnin’your rigs on mo jes be cause I’m a stranger in these parts ! Take away your darned hiled pipe stems and fetch us on some cabbage. That’s right.— And now squire, some vinegar. \ snegar’s in the castor, sir, replied the waiter, and made good his retreat. In the castor, is it, hey] soliloquized the Yankee; and where in thunder is the castor! The young gentleman opposite pushed it towards him. He looked at it—took the stopper out of the vinegar, and taking up the castor by the bottom, turned it up. But all the cruets manifested a desire to illustrate the laws of gravity and leap from their locations, and the Yankee was coin’ pelled to set it down again. Jerusalem! he exclaimed. This here is a curious contrivance, and no mistake. How on nirtli am l to get atthe tainal vin egar] I’ll try it once more. Again he canted the castor, hut this time all I lie stopples tumbled out. Thunderation he.roared, here’s a pretty mess’ Darn it all! —here I’ve got the darnd caster all into my gravy, and tb e darned red led on my cabbage, and the yaller on my ’tater. Darn the thing ! My friend, said the gentleman opposite, with a strong control over his lisible mus cles, it appears to me if 1 were in want of vinegar, that 1 should take the vinegar cruet out of the stand, and by that means I should avoid all trouble. Here the whole company, waiters and all, hurst into a convulsive fit of laughter. The Yankee rose in a rage, upsetting his chair, and glaring defiance on his neigh bors. How in tho name of all the tarnal cuss es in creation ! he yelled, should I know anything about how the darn thing worked when I never seed one of ’em afore ]— You’ve hatched this up agin me, I know it. Whar’s the landlord I—fetch your bill on—l’ll get out of this. I haint cat ten cents worth, but I’ll pay up like a book— and cuss and quit. And if ever 1 set to eat a meals vittels in Boston town again you may take my bide and tan it. Darn your castors —and your castorile—and you too, one and all!” And flinging down a dollar on the table, he seized his white bell-top from the hand of the trembling waiter and vamosed. Down Washington and State Street be streaked it like a com et, and never slacked bis pace till he pull ed up on board the Kennebec. Captain, said he to the commander, cast off your line jest as .quick as you’re a mind to, and if ever you catch me want ing to see Boston agin, jest you catch me hy the slach and throw me right into that ere biler, boots and all ! —Yankee Blade. Woman. — It is the part of woman, like her own beautiful planet, to cheer the darkness—to he both the morning and evening star of man’s life—tho light of her eye is the first to rise and the last to set upon manhood’s day of trial and suffering. Woman’s love is a good deal like cammo mile—the more it’s trod on, the faster it grows. To give a girl “air,” we konw of nothing worse than too ardent attachment.

HARRISOX.- NUMBER 4. Yaxkf.e Doodle with Variation*.— We have a young lady acquaintance who ts a very fine peif.umer on the piano.— Calling at her house the other afternoon, ior a few moment.-, she enteituined us with a few favorite pieces, together wiili two or three of the most admired songs of the day. Now, our friend’s house is in rather close proximity to the street, and the parlor is not proof to the rude gaze of the passers-by, or of those who are so rude as to lake advantage of this too common fault of constructing dwellings in cities.—® While in the midst of her musical efforts, a tall young Kvntuckitn, who had just made his egress from the‘barrens’ where lie was horn and raised, chanced to saun ter along the street, and charmed with the novel music, hut rather uninformed as to the conventional rules of city society, ap proached the parlor window, and with eyes dilated ami mouth extended, stood there enraptured while she sang, “Give me a cot in the valley I love.” “Are you fond of music I” inquired the lady, who is fond of a bit of sport. “Well, 1 am that very thing,” retorted the blunt Kentuckian. "Do you play !” asked our friend in s quizzical manner. “I can play right smart tunes on the fife.” said the countryman, “hut d—n me, if 1 ever saw anybody play on a bureau before!’’ ‘■'l his is what wo call a piano, sir,” said the performer, “did you never hear of such an instrument?" “ No, sir ee!” said Iventock, “there’s no such critters in our parts, as that, but it makes mighty nice kind o’ music. Can you play YankeeDondle on that machine]’ said he suddenly, and with great earnest ness of manner. The lady answered in tho affirmative, and this popular national air, was perfor med in truly artistic style. But the un culivated car of the rustic could hatdly hear thro’ the “vai iutious,” a single strain of his much loved tune, and at the close of of tho piece he exclaimed— “ls that Yankee Doodle?” “ Yes, sir, that is Yankee Doodle with the variations.” “ Well!” ejaculatedKentuck,thrusting each hand into a pocket preparatory to a start, “that may do for you city folks, hut give me the naked Yankee Doodle." And off he went. Truthful Savings. — lie that runs a gainst lime has an antagonist not subject to casualties. When Dr. Doddridge asked his little daughter, who died so early, why every thing seemed to live her, she answered, “l cannot tell unless it be, because I love every body.” This was not only a strik ing, hut a veryjudicious reply. Want of sense renders some people ob stinate, while wisdom makes them firm; since that which would be obstinacy in a wrong cause become firmness in a right one. To discriminate between the two is often difficult. To be really and truly independent is to support ourselves hy our owu exer tions. A man cannot possess anything that ia better than a good woman, tu»rany T thing that is worse than a bad one. Who overcomes hy force hath overcome but half his foe. He who never relaxes into sportive ness is a wearisome companion; hut be ware of him who jests at everything 1 Young men are as apt to think them selves wise enough, as drunken men are to think theseives sober enough. Time is a most valuable steed, which, while we ride, we cannot control; and which, if we do not well, will certainly throw us, lovers, in particular, who trifle with him; are sure afterwards to repent of it. If a man be compassionate towards the affliction of others, it shows that his heart is like tho noble tree that has wounded itself when it gave the halm. He who saith there is no such thing as an honest man, you rnay ho sure he is a knave. No precedent can give sanction to in justice. The greatest advantage I know of be ing thought a wit hy the world is. that it gives one the greater freedom of playing the fool.— Tope.
