THE WANTS OP MAN.
“ Mon u hut little here lek*w,
Nor wants that little long. “
(roldninthf Hernut
I.
“ Man wants hut little here beTSw, “
Nor wants that little long ”
’Tis not with me exactly so—
But’t mso in the song
Mu wnnta are tnunv.and if told,
Would muster many n score ;
And were each w ish n mint of gold,
1 still should want for more.
11.
What first I want in daily bread,
And canvass hecks and w ine ;
And uii the realms of nature spread
me when I dine.—
Four courses scarcely can provide
My appetite to quell,
W’ith four choice cooks from Franc** beside,
To dres9 my dinner well.
11l
W hot next I want at heavy cost.
Is elegant attire ;
Black sable furs for winter's frost,
And silks for summer's lire,
And cashmere shaw ls and Brussels loee,
My bosom's front to deck —
And diamond rings my hand to grace,
And lubics for my neck.
IV.
Ami then I want a mansion fair,
A dwelling house, in style,
h our stories high, tor wholesome air,
A massive marble pile :
With halls for banquets and lor balls,
All furnished rii-li and fine ;
With stabled studs in fifty stalls,
And cellars for my wine ;
V.
I want a garden and a park
My dwelling to surround,
A thousand acres, (bless the mark)
Wir! w;i I s encompass’d round,
Wnt il ic-..... range an j beards mnv low,
And kids and Ininbkinsplay—
And flowers and fruits commingl'd grow
All Eden to display.
VI.
I want, when summer’s foliage falls,
And autumn strips the trees,
A hous* , w'lthin the city's walls
For comfort and for ease—
But here as space 19 somewhat scant
And acres rather rare,
My house in Town I only want
To occupy a Square.
1 want a Stewart, Butler,Cooks,
A Coachman. Footman, Grooms ;
A library of well bound books,
And picture garnished rooms,
Corregms, Magdalen and Night
The Matron of the chair :
Guido’s fieet coursers in then flight
And Claudes at least a pair.
VIII.
1 want a cabinet profusi*
Ot medals, coins nnd gems ;
A printing press for private use
Os liiiy thousand enis,
And plants nnd minerals ami shells.
Worms, insects, fishes, birds •
And every beast on earth that dvrells,
In solitude or beards.
IX.
I want a board of burnished plate,
Os silver and o gold,
Tureens of twenty poundsin weight
Withscu'pture’s *ichest mould.
Plateaus with chandeliers and lamps.
Plates, dishes all the same :
And Porcelain vases w’ith the stamps
Os Sevres, Angouleme.
X
And maples of fair glossy stain
Must form tny chamber doors
And carpets of the Wilton grain
Must cover ah my floes,
Mv walls with Tapestry he-deck'd
Must never fie outdone ;
And damask curtains must protect
Their colors from the sus.
v
Aiid mirrors of th* largest pane
From \ • ■ must h - brought;
And sandai vood and t>ainboorane
For chairs nr-d tahles bought,
On all the mnml* pieces, clocks
Ot thrice gilt b r otzemust stand,
And screens of ebony and box
Invite the st anger’s bond.
XII.
I want—'-no d*es not want ?)—a wife,
Afleeiionute and lair;
To solace all the woes of liic,
And all its joys to share ;
Os temper sweet, ol yielding will,
Oi firm, yet placid mind ;
With ah my faults to love me still,
With sentiment refin’d.
XIII
And as Time’s car incessant runs
And Fortune tills my store ;
1 w ant of daughters and sons
From eight to ha if a score.
I want, (a las can mortal dare
Such bliss on earth to crave ?)
That ail the girls be chaste and fair—
The boys altswise and brave.
XIV.
And when mv bosoms darling sings
With melody divine,
A pedal harp of many wrings.
Must with her voice combine.
A Piano,exquisitely wrtlight
Must open stand, jpart;
That all my daughters may be taught,
To win the strangers heart.
My wife nnd daughters will desire
Refreshment from perfumes,
Cosmetics for the skin require
And Artificial blooms.
The Civet, fragrance shall dispensa
And in sur'd sweets return
Cologne revive the flagging sense
And smoking amber burn.
XVI.
And when, ut nigl.t. my weary head
Begins to droop and close,
A southern chamber holds my bed,
For nature’s toft repose:
With blankets, counterpanes and sheet;
lied of down,
And comfortables for my feet :
And pillows for my crown.
XVII.
1 want u warm and fuitbful friend
To cheer the adverse hour .
Who ne’er to flattei will esc nd
Nor bend the knee to power
A friend to ehide me wiVii i’ 1. wrong,
My inmost soul so **e ;
And Mat my Ifiendsh.r proves ns strong
For him, as hi for me.
Will
i want a kind and tender heart,
For others wants to feel ;
A soul secure from Fortune's dart,
And bosom arm’d with steel.
To bear divine chaßtiM-iiient e rod
And mingling m my plan.
Submission to the will ol God
YVithehiirity to M m
XIX
I want a keen, observing eye;
And ever listening ear,
The truth through all disguise to spy,
Aral wisdom voire to hear.
A tongue tospeHk at virtue's need
In Heaven's sublimes! strain ,
And lips, he cans*- of Man to plead.
And ueverp end in vain.
XV
I want aninterrupied health
Thrnugtioui my long career ;
And streams ot n< ver tailing wealth
To scatter far and near,
The destitute to clot lie aid feed,
Free tammy to Iwstow :
Bupply the helpless orphan's need
And soot 11-j th widow's woe
XXI
1 want the genius to conceive,

Dr signs, the vicious to retrieve ;
The virtuous to uphold.
Inventive power, e mbiiung -kill;
A pn * wring oui,

Once upon an evening dreary, while I pondered lone

ten stories o'er ; suddenly 1 heard a curious, lonely ‘
ghostly, strange, mysterious grating underneam the!
Hoot ‘ Pis some little mouse 1 muttered, underneath I
tit - ctiice floor—only this and nothing more. And :
again I trimmed the tapei—anJ once more resumed
my pftjwf- ftgd. likrrn antique ~upr , p/wuilllg li-;

this same mysterious grating, but mucti louder than be- i
ibrr—and it seeni'-d liße someone so >v ing wood be

A* l listened,each particular h%rstood upright perpen

And thus watching, gazing, pondering, trembling,
doubting, fra ring, wondering, suddenly the wu!l w&h ‘

i zing; much astonished, there bounded a huge rat upon i

George Whitfield him! John Wesley.
Few characters could be more completely the con
verse, and hi Cliruchs exigencies more happily the
supplement, of one another man we.v those of George
Whitfield and John Wesley ;unit had View*been
identical,and their labors emnei lent all along, their
large services to the gospel might have repeated I’aui uini
Biriiibos. Whitfield was soul :u Wesfoy was svqr;-„
| iiiideiu wASßsmnmvr c.oua, which buret at morning
I Or noon in fragrant exhalation overall ample tract, and
| liMtk the rest of the day to ga titer a"a in ; YVVv'y was the
j polished cor.Juit in the midst of the garden through
which the water glided in pearly brightness and peren
! nial inusic,the same vivid stream fro.n day to <lay.
Alter a paroxysm. Whitfield lay panting on his couch
i spent, breathless,and death-like ; niter his morning t**r
mon in the Foundry, Wesley would mount his pony,
| and trot and dial and gather simples, till he reached
soiik country hamlet, where he w •uui bait his charger
a .and talk thiough the little seniion with the v rs,
sod remount his p<iuy and trot away again. In ins -
! nai poise, Whitfield’sengie eyedraiik lustre from the
i source of life, and loved to look down on men in u sarin -
j bled myriads, Wesley’s fallen gianne did not sweep so 1
! far,but it nearched more keenly and marked more mi- I
i nutely w here it pierced. A muster ol usaemhlies,,
| Whitfield was no match for the isolated man ; —-cldoin
! coping y*itn the uiultitude, but strong m astute sagaci
ty and personal ascendency. Wesley could conquer any j
number one by one. Wuitfield was the powder blast !
in the quarry, and by one explosive sermon, would,
shake a district, and detach materials for other men’s ‘
long work ; deft, neat, and painstaking, Wesley loved
to trim and split each Ira . lent into uniform plinths}
and polishe * stones. Or iken otherwise, Whitfield;
was th- bargeman or wagoner who brought the timber
to the house, and Wesley was the architect who set it
up . Whit field had no patience for ecclesiastical poli
ty, no aptitude for pastonul derails ; with a beaver-hke j
propensity for building, Wesley was always cmisirort- j
mg societies, nnd with a king'ike craft of riding, was
most nt home when presiding over a dss or con- j
sere lice. It was their infelicity that they did not ai- I
ways work together ; it was the huppuies- of the age,
and the furtheranc’ of the gospel that they lived along- j
side of one Uiiothc! .—North British Jievirw.

The Brave Keutnckinns*
The Louisville Journal contains a long nnd interest
ing account of a very impressive ceremony, which late
ly took place at Frankfort, on the presentation of the
color* ot the 2d Regiment of Kentucky Volunteers to
j the representatives of the people ol that Suite. The
Journal says:
( “ I he ( u’nmonwealth descri!*** the scene as one of
• •cep and most thrilling interest. At the appointed honr
the Governor, the Senator*, the Judge* of the Court of
j Appeal*, nud the heads of the Departments, took their
j *e;its by invention within the bar of the House, the lob
by nnd the gnllen* m being crowded with spectator*. A
| few moments ol silent expectation ensued, and the door
j * ‘he Hall was thrown open, and the flag, tattered and
| glorious, pierced hy a hundred bullets, torn by grape
nnd canister,and veiled with crape, made its appear
! nnee, borne by i:r ant Gaiues, who was supportted
Iby General Combs and other*. Upon thr appearance
ol the flog, there was a general burst ot applause,but
j it soon uosided, and wns succeeded by silent, deep and
, intense emotion, throughout the vast assemblage.
| The rest of the mournful! nnd imposing ceremonies i*
| detailed in the legislative report.
At the hour of 12 o’clock, the House, being attend
ed by the Governor. Lieutenant Governor, Senators
nnd officers of State, W:n. F Gnim s. attended by
a few ot his companions of the memorable Buena
Vira battle-field, bore the same flag w inch he Imre on
ihut field, trimmed in mourning for the late Capt
Chambers, into the House, amid the c eersof all

The respon*& o,‘ lire <>is ak. r (J. T Buckner) was

arming her son to go forth to meet tfo* invaders ot his

asks. In a mild Southern climate, where much raina
lulls bt'iwe**n the time* when our crops of cotton, com
and potatoes cease to grow in Autumn, and commence
growing in Spring, and as these rainadissolve out of the
Murlace miil, and carry into creeks and rivers the precise
elements which nature uses to form cotton, cm and
potatoes, ire should try to make something grow on all
j our fields irom Autumn till Spring, not merely to pre
vent the waste ol fertilizing ingredients, but to draw
I from the atmosphere a ten-fold larger sum of tne well
1 known seistuticea necessary to make all vegetables.—
; Our policy would be to turn oil the natural resources
; that Providence had placed within our reach, to the
I moat useful and profitable account. The benefits of
hard freezing being denied ua. we should eo use active
vegetable vitality us to render it still more advantage
ous to our purse and farm. We would grow two crops
in a year instead of one.
As Inst os we could gather our com and cottan
the land should be drilled with rye, turnips or the

cotton and corn fields should be free of grass, a result

V mi have n plowed field on which a crop of cotton or
corn nas tost been harvested. It is mellow, open to
ruins, and has nothing gi owing upon it. A seed of
rye. of wheat, oats or barlay, which will weigh but
• two grams, will organize a plant in this sod. that will
weigh 100 tunes more than the seed. Here is n speedy
and prodig ous gain in organized and most fe; tailing
matter, Ilia a great mistake to suppose that in case
| thw seed had not been planted the minerals wh*ch,
while dissolved m water, enter the roota of the plant,
and form the skt 1-tou of its tissues, will all remain m the
j soil during the winter to teed your spring crop It is a
; still greater error to believe thai all the organic ele
j meiiLs, viz.: carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen
found m the plant was a part oi the substance ot the

, a gMAi sized turnip, and weigh ad the toil in w hich it

We are not prepared to recommend any specific num
