You have waited, impatient, no doubt, to behold me* And the Ladies, sweet souls, in theif arms would enfold me. These pesky old Gray-Beards* have long held me back, For fear I’d eclipse all the rest on the track, But now that I’m out, sirs, I’ll give ’em a fling, Till their bullet-eyed ponies have all quit the ring ; For I’m in for a premium—a cup or a kiss, Or both if you please, Ladies, rather than , miss. ***&*## We have fallen, my daddies, on glorious times, And youngsters may sing of their glories in rhymes, Especially lads like myself, who have merit— Full, handsome and rich —a young rooster of spirit. Now, these little bumpkinsf love fish-hooks and twine, But I’ve got a genus for songs aod for winj ; And on great occasions, when honor’s at stake, I’m stirred to the quick, sirs, by egg-nogg and cake. But do not mistake me for Goldsmith or Grcv, These sap -headed dreamers don’t know what they say. I scorn shabby rhymes—l’m a ginooicine poet — Just give me the larnin, and 0! how I’ll “go it.” But I’m larned already—l’ve studied six weeks! And “astonish tho natives” whenever I speaks. My friends, you don’t know me—l’m just “cornin ou f ,” My sakes!—l shall split if I don’t git to spout. But you’re all'dead to know where I got all my knowledge, Well then, sirs, I’ll tell you—l live near a College. But who would be bound by its rusty old rales, Where boys tug for sheep-skins like tarna tion fools ? Said I, t’other days, to Jim Jones, a young Soph— “Will you loan me your sheep.skin to pass myself off?” Said the chap tartly—“ You’ve one of your own , But so near your shirt, that it wont do to loan.” Old Ichabod Crane sent me whirling up hill, Until clear over “Baker,” and through “Daffodil,” By his fist on my scull, and his bircb at my rear— I’m the “broth of a boy” that you now see and hear. Just a leetle more polish, and, Ladies, its over ; And the lassie that gets me, will live upon clover ; My stars, how I’ll siDg of tornadoes and toads ! Os rainbows and robins, ?nd darts, by cart loads. I’ll harrass the thunder, and choke the vol cano, And so charm the gals that they never can say “No.” Those pert little misses that float in the balloons — Or swim in brass hooping, as round as full moons ; They’re the darlings to match, the “fast boys” of the age— Just a flirt and a kiss, and they’re ripe “to engage.” Our dads were no bucks—they were clown ish and sby— As dumb as old mummies, and almost as dry: They toiled all the day, and they snor’d all the night, And a pair of blue eyes put their courage to flight. But we fiery young sparks w!*s> can sport a moustache, And with ticklers and tumblers play “Rickety-smash”— Gulp toddies at night and play the “odd trick”— We’ll ring the gals' hearts' till tbeir mam mies are sick. Clear the track, ye old fogies, your sons hold the reins, They’ve cabbag’d your fortunes and addled your brains, The world’s in a swing and they’ll ride at their ease j> •Pointing to liis teaclieia. tGlancing at bis younger acbool-mate*.

Who, P'ho’d be a booby and sit in the ashes, When the world goes by steam and electri cal flashes ? Why, Clay and Calhoun did but cripple and drag, And Webster, himself, was a tardy old nng. Then away with the crowd, for a jaunt to moon, With a whoop and a whistle we’ll land in it soon. Onrhorses eat pine-knots and drink boiling water, And smoke like a tar-kiln, but forty times hotter. But, alas! I must stop, for my brain is now reeling, And I fear you’ll all bust, you are so full of feeling. If you love “Young America,” just spare him now. And he’ll square both his toes for a Ches terfield bow. Only one boon he asks—neither pleasure nor riches— “ Three cheers Jbr the larks that’s iC too big for his breeches /” Ilev. A. Means. Oxford, November, 1859. JfltSrcUiUKOlUi. A SAD STORY. Death of the Eldest Son of Henry Clay —Thirtv-eight Years of Hope less Insanity, and Final Death in an Asylum —A Madman Through Love. Outside of Fayette county, where the prophet was held in high, but not in blameless repute, being “in his own country,” the name of Clay has ever been a sacred one in Kentucky, and to name him has been to quote lov iugly. “Wherever freedom found a votary, that votary met in him a champion. When Greece, the clasic land of Greece, the fountain ofrefine" ment, the birth-place of eloquence and liberty and of poetry; when Greece awoke from the long slumber of ages and beat back the faded cres cent to its native East; when Mace don recalled to mind the feats of her conquering boy, and the Spartan struck for the land that bred him, then the voice of Clay rolled oVef the waters of the blue Atlantic as a greet ing from the New World to the Old. But hushed is that voice whose “every tone is music,” and so on till the de claimer wearied. Such being the es* teem in which the Sage of Ashland was held in the hearts of his country men, the people of his Commonwealth have been slow to speak to strangers of the skeleton in his household, though in the homes of the State the sad story has been a household word. Yesterday morning our special tel egrams announced the end of a weary life, in stating that Theodore, eldest son of Henry Clay, had died in the Lexington Lunatic Asylum, after a long continemer t. The record of his blasted life is briefly thus : At thirty years of age Theodore Clay was a promising lawyer. lie was the image and the hope of the statesman, whose fame was on every tongue. It is true that there were whispers of wild living and indifferent morals, that somewhat tinged the fair repute and even darkened the fu ture prospects of this scion of a noble house. Still it was hoped,-that these were but the result of youth, and would be east aside when circumstan ces called upon the matured man to assert himself and make his talent felt in the community. It was in this turning-point in his life that Theodore began to pursue, with an unwearied perseverance that caused his friends great uneasiness, a young lady of Lexington, whom he had long loved hopelessly. The ob ject of his attachment, who is at the present moment one of the brightest ornaments of Kentucky society, re pulsed firmly, but kind.y, every tentiou offered by the infatuated young man, after his meaning had be come manifest. It was of no u#e, he would not be refused, and followed hia fair fate in the streets by day and wandered in the neighborhood of her home by night, rrr an annoying manner, until at last it became evi-“ dent that he “was not all there,” to use the soft phrase by which a Riud* fy peasantry express insanity. Sub sequent violent demonstrations tend ed to confirm the impression, it being even related that he went to the house of Mr. and demanded his daughter at the pistol's point, un til at last tho wretched truth could no longer he ignored and eonfinement in the Asylum became a stern necessity. This was accordingly done, (in 1832, we believe) his father providing for his support at that time, and leaving SIO,OOO in his will, the income from which was secured to Theedere for life. That life, after thirty-eight I’ears of imprisonment in what in the early days of his confinement he was wont to call “a good boarding-house, but having some of the biggest fools he ever saw as boarders,” has just closed. For nearly thirty years he was one of most noted of the inmates, not only liis proud descent, but his graceful manners and flow of conver sation rendering him an object of terest to all visitors. He labored un der the hallucination that he was George Washington, and was fond of assuming the traditional attitudes of the Father of his Country. At the occasional balls given to the inmates, (averaging some five hundred in number), he was always exquisite* ly dressed, in the style of his day, and was the beau par excellence. During all these long years, despite his gen eral gentleness And Cheerfulness of manner, he was restless and discon tented, and required close watching —it nerver, in fact, having been con sidered prudent to allow him to go out into the grounds without atten dants. About the year 1800 his con dition began to grow worse, and lie soon after became demented, contin uing in hopeless idiocy Until a few days since, when Death, greater heal er than Time, placed him again upon an equality with the peers of his early manhood, who had gone before him to the God that created him and did with him according to his inscruta ble will. And so ends as sad a story, as the truth of history ever com manded to be written. Two sons of Henry Clay yet sur vive him, T. 11.

TIIE CENSUS OF 18T0. The ninth census of the United States will be taken, under the pro visions of the act of May 23, 1850, on the first of June inst. The assis tants are paid as follows: Two cents for each name taken ; ten cents for every farm ; fifteen cents for every productive establish ment of industry; two cents for every dead person, and two per cent, of the gross amount of names enu merated for social statistics, and ten cents per mile fur travel. It will be seen by the foregoing that the compensation allowed an assistant or enumerator, provided the district allotted to him shall not con tain less than 20,000 persons, will be about s6oo or more. The law provides that each assis tant, alter qualifying, shall perform his duties by a personal visit to each dwelling house and to each family in his subdivision, and shall ascertain by inquiries made by some member of each family, if any one can be found capable of giving the informa tion—but if not, then the agent of such family, the name of each mem ber thereof, the age and place of birth of each, sex, color, etc., and shall also visit personally the farms, mills, shops, mines, or other places respecting which information is re quired ; and when such information is obtained and entered in his blanks, then his memoranda shall be read to the person furnishing the facts for revision. There is a penalty for refusing to furnish the required information to the assistant. The act provides that every person more than twenty years of age belonging to any family, in the case of the absence of the heads and other members of the family, shall act as agent of such family, and is required to render a true statement of the information required, on pain of forfeiting thirty dollars, to be sued for and recovered in an action of debt by the assistant, to the use of the United States. A colored woman whose name we did not learn, in the service of Capt. Bradford, was bitten, on Satur day last, by a spider, in an out house on the premises where she w'as em ployed. Medical aid was summoned, but the unfortunate woman died yes terday afternoon from the effects of the bite.— Southern Sun. 1&3BL, The horse railroad which has been opened in London proves very successful.

The New York Journal of Com merce, in noticing the rejection l»y the M. E. Church, South, of the oiler of union from the M. E. Church, North, says: The Southern M. E. Conference have decided unanimously against re* uniting with the Northern branch. This determination will he less disap pointing to the Northern Methodists than if an opposite course had been expected by them. The proposition made by the Northern Conference, was of a character, that evidently an ticipated rejection—if it was not put forward expressly to be rejected. Judged by those rules of etiquette which apply as fully to religious as to secular matters, the offer to the North ern Commissioners could not havo been accepted without some liumi)ia* tion and loss of self-respect upon the part of the Southerners. In decline ing it they but acted as the dignita ries ol any Church in the world would act under like circumstances. The instructions given to the Com missioners from the Northern Con ference directed them first to “confer with the late Commission from tho African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church” with a view to a union, and afterwads to negotiate with ‘‘similar Commissions from any Methodist Church that may desire a like union.” Tho colored Methodist Church is hero mentioned by name and put first as the principal object of Northern solic itude, while the great Southern Church cf the Same denomination is only hinted at in language wich could not fail to be construed in the South as an intentional slight, llad the Noithern branch intended their over tures to be rejected, they could not have phrased a set of instructions more directly calculated for that end. The Memphis Conference could not but regard it even as something more than a breach of etiquette. They could not but feel aggrieved that the Northern Church should seem to desire to effect a union with the Colored Church South to the ex clusion of the great Southern branch. To the latter it appeared, as a mat t r of course, as if the Northern Methodists were trying to break up the fraternal relations which unite the white and colored Methodist or ganizations of the South, and they could not be expected to do otherwise than resent such an effort by tho unanimous action they have taken. If a reunion of the two great sec tions of the M. E. Church is ever to effected, it can only be done through the Southerners in terms sufficiently definite and courteous, and free from any semblace of political purposes. The recent attempt was so awkward, and the failure so bad, and the feel ing left behind in the South so very unpleasant, tnat we do not cherish the expectation that tho broken Church will be rejoined for years to come. Methodist Lay Delegation. —Tho movement in behalf of allowing lay delegates to vote in the Conferences of the Methodist Episcopal Church has finally triumphed. Tho Metho dist says ; After eight years of unceasing effort, the Methodist has the satisfac tion of announcing the triumph of lay delegation. The East Maine Conference, the last in the United States to declare its opinion, has given a vote of 44 for to 15 against. This, with the surplus available, se cures the necessary three-fourths, even though the vote of the Germany Conference should be unanimously against. But such a vote in Ger many is not supposable ; on the con trary, all our advices leave us to ex pect that tho vote of our brethren in Europe will be unanimously for us. By a singular coincidence, the Ger many Conference meets this year in one of the cities of the Palatinate, the ancestral home of the founders of American Methodism. Milk. —ls you desire to get a largo yield of milk, give your cow, threo times a day, vfater slightly salted, in which' bran- has been stirred at the as the rate of one quart to two gab lons of water. * You will find that your cow will gain twenty-five per cent, immediately under the effects of it, and she will become so attached to the diet as to refuse to drink clear water unless very thirsty, but this mess she will drink almost at any time, and ask for more. The amount of this drink is an ordinary water pailful at each time morning, noon and night. Your animal will then do her best at discounting the lacteal.” ]N'O, 20*
