POETRY. A Growl. I'm a grumpy old bachelor, Hri 17 .lv and gray; I am seven-and-forty. If I am a day. I am fussy and crusty, And dry as a bone ; So ladies—good ladies— Just let me alone '. Go shake out your ringlets, And beam out in smiles; Go tinkle your ringlets, And show off your wiles, Bewitch and bewilder Wherever you can; But pray—pray, remember, I am not the man! I’m frozen to blushes. I’m proof against eyes ; I’m hardened to simpers, And stony to sighs. I'm tough to each dart That young Cupid can lance ; I’m not in the market At any advance. I sew my own buttons, I darn my own liose ; I keep my own counsel, And fold my own clothes, 1 mind my own business, And live my own life ; I won’t—no, the dickens— Be plagued with a wife! And yet there’s nine spinsters Who believe me their fate ; There's two dozen widows Who’d change their estate. There’s silly young maidens Who blush at my bow ; AH—all bent on marrying me, No matter how; I walk forth in trembling, I come home in dread ; I don't fear my heart, But I do fear my head. My civilest speech Is a growl and a nod ; And that—heaven save me! Is “charmingly odd.” So, ladies—dear ladies— Just hear me, I pray ; In the plainest way. My logic is simple As logic can be If I won’t marry you, Pray—don’t marry me ! 9 fl MISCELLANEOUS. HE’S NOBODY BUT A PRINTER. "Oh, lie’s nobody but a Printer!” exclaimed Miss Ellen Dupree to one of her f riends, who was speaking in terms of praise and commendation of Mr. Barton Wil¬ liams, a young and very intelligent print cr. “Ellen, you speak as though a printer was not entitled to respectability. I hope you will ex-plain yourself,” replied Miss Mary Crossman. “Well, I hope you’ll excuse me, I do not think it becoming for a young man who lias to labor for a living, to try to move in the society of those who are his superiors. And, moreover, he might win the affections of a young girl superior to him in rank, and then do you think her parents would be pleased ? I know I would rather live an old maid all my days than marry a printer —a man tliat has to toil all day and night; and then, oh, to think of being ranked among the poor,” whined out Miss Dupree., “Then you think they are beneath you?” “Yes, of course.” “Both in word and intellect, too, I sup¬ pose, do you not?” “Yes, everything t” “Are you superior to a Franklin, to a Blaekstone, to Cambell, and many other eminent men who were printers ? Or do you believe your Intellectual powers soar above many other distinguished printers of the present day ?” "O, now and then you come across one tliat is respectable, but they are few and far between. And as to Mr. Williams, I do not consider him a Franklin, or a Black stone, or any one else much.” “Nor do I consider him bcneatli my notice. Now, Miss Dupree, I think you ought to reflect seriously upon what you are saying, and have some regard for my feeling. You know not what you may come to before you die.” “Well, I don’t think I shall ever come to be the wife of a printer, or anybody who has to labor, nor do I intend to countenance such either.” Miss Crossman remained silent for some time, while her face reddened with indig nation. Mr. Williams was her lover, and a very good looking man he was. Ho was of ordinary size, fair complexion, dark hair, a high and prominent forehead— lively and intelligont in conversation, and fluent and affable in his address. A gentle rap was heard at the door and the servant immediately announced Mr. Williams, ne entered the parlor, and Miss Crossman rose and introduced him. Miss Dupree affected to be polite, returned ’’?!££££%• Mr. Williams and Miss ^ Croasman con versed freely—mostly upon literary subjects. upon which both were wel1 an(1 - of course, the conversation was interesting to both, and Miss Dupree sat as though she lia(i been seized by despair—now and then any e ‘ vlI1R and a j azy everything nod of djS3en said ‘ to or assent her.

A man and his wife were seated before a blazing fire. The evening was extremely cold, and the wind blew fierce and keen. The editor was lioused, with his wife, in their stately mansion, furnished in most superb style, and lighted brilliantly with costly chande¬ liers. They were the happy parents of four intelligent and interesting children. It was about an hour after sundown and the bell had just been run*/of tea. A rap was heard at the street door, and upon opening it, there stood a woman, pale and dejected, and apparently not far from the grave. She had with her, three ragged children, shivering with cold. The gentleman and lady kindly asked them in to the fire. “Sr, will you be pleased to give me a little money to buy some bread for my. hungry children. My linsband ha* been drinking for the last three weeks, and left me without a morsel to give these poor innocents, or any fuel to keep them warm," and then she wept bitterly. “Where do you live, ma’am?” “In the garret of the old Plirenix note], sir.” “How long lias your husband been addicted to drinking?” asked the gentle¬ man’s wife in a kind tone. “About three years.” * “Madam,” rejoined the generous editor. “I am truly sorry for you, and of codrse shall bestoit^upon you such charity as my means will allow. Will you relate you misfortunes. I always feel a deep sym¬ pathy for the unfortunate.’’ “Mine is a sad story. I was raised in affluence ; my father was a wealthy mer¬ chant. My lmsband also was ricli when we were married. We took a tour to Europe, and returned borne, and we lived happily and prosperously for two years. Mr. Brooks was a fashionable young man. lie spent money freely and we lived extravagantly. Tliree years more and he was considered on the declining ground, and finally, by high living and unnecessary expenditures of money, we were dispossessed of our home and reduced to abject poverty ; and then my husband took to drink ; and now 1 am a beggar, and these children depending on my success for a living, and I beseech you, in behalf of my poor little children, to be¬ stow upon me such charity as you feel disposed to grant.” Her story was told, and met a kind ’C 22^*-■#»!.'4J -£m dK—35(WVvrwfiA'd k*«. - t. TJi. U*i of the house recognized tlio poor woman ; but she did not feel disposed to make her¬ self known, but ushered them into the din¬ ing room and sat down with them to a warm supper. “Madam,” said the lady, "what was your maiden name?" “Ellen Dupree.” The poor woman was so overcome with gratitude and surprise that, slic could not litter a single word. She thought lier's a familiar voice ; she had heard it before, but she could not remember when or where; and after a long time she murmured— “1 think 1 have known you in time, but I cannot remember your nauie, my good lady.” “Mary Crossman was my name when 1 knew you.” “Mary who?” “Mary Crossman.” “My God ! who is your husband ?” “O, he’s nobody, only a printer!” The poor woman remembered being introduced before her marriage, to Mr. Williams—and she remembered too how cold and indifferent she was on that occasion. Yes, “nobody but a printer” went like a dagger to her heart. That printer was now her benefactor. An Interview with a Striker, [Donn Piatt in Cincinnati Enquirer.] Going through the train after it left Cumberland, I encountered a familiar face in that of a man in very poor attire, who sat nursing an old-fashioned pair of saddle¬ bags, that looked as if they had been left over in Cumberland by some trooper on his way to Braddock's defeat. It was only after the owner of these bad clothes and ancient saddle-bags had called my name, while holding out his hand, that l recog¬ nized an old acquaintance. I had known him during the war, at Cumberland, as a well-to-do mechanic. He now appeared care-worn, gray and evidently quite poor. “The world has not gone prosperously with you since I knew you in Cumberland,” 1 said, seating myself by liis side. “No, indeed. 1 have had a hard old time since then. I had a little money, and was fool enough to put it an oil speculation, and it went into a hole where I couldn't follow it. Then my wife died, leaving a large family of children. Then the hard times came, and I went from had to worse, until I am now about as near the bottom asainan can be and live.” “What are you doing now ?” “Nottifng. I did until this strike, and now, like the rest, I am out.” “Tell sne something about the strike, if you can ?” Certainly I can. 1 am one myself. I am on my way to Martinsburg.” “Without a ticket?’* “Without a ticket.” “Why, the conductor will put you off.” “No he won’t he is one of us. They all are. There is no man works on this road that doesn't hate it. The company never asked anything hut hard work for poor pay, and now it finds that we have no love for : it.” “You have had a hard time of it?” “Hard times doesn't express it. You fought four years to liberate the slaves: we are in a worse condition than the uig gers, for they bad food clothing ami shelter for themselves and families.

Where two people think alike there is organization, When they feel alike there is action, and Uiere is no motive so powerful as hunger. A man without wages, with the cry of hungry children in his ears, Is a man to be ffai ed. We are given to attribute the violence In France to false teachings of the Commute. This is not true. No man kills another on a difference of opinion. Masses do not go at throats for an idea. When Paris gets up at night and inarches u hundred thousand strong, with their blue shirts outside the pantaloons, it means that Paris is starving. There are hungry stomachs under the blouse nnd famishing families in the home. Human nature Is the same the wofld over. While it is estimated that, we havdnearly four millions of men out of employ, they who have wages find themselves Very little lletter off. It is hunger and privation to one—starvation to the other. -- y, ^ -- An Excellent Invention. Mr. Wm.

The accounts of old writers, still preserved and dating back to three hundred years before Christ, describe a “sulphurous and imliaminable substance” unmistakably like our gun¬ powder. There was a certain place called the “Oracle of Delphi,” once visited by Alex¬ ander the Great, when this kind of fire was produced by the priests, and it is said that the Druids, the anCien't priests of Brifian. also used something of this sort in their sacrifices, for they not only produced thunder sudden fire, but they also imitated people and tliuir lightning, This to terrify must have the been with power. more -than two thousand years ago.
