POETRY.
B3k_Will our delinquent Htibscribers
read the following truthful lines, tnore
full yf fact by far, than poetry; but as
truth is the essence of poetry, it is oven
good poetry.
The Printer’* Holienliiulcu.
In seasons when our funds are low,
Subscribers are provokiug slow,
A few supplies keep up the flow
Os di wes departing rapidly.
But we shall see a sadder sight,
When duns pour in from morn and night,
Commanding every sixpence bright
To be forked over speedily.
Our bonds and due bills are arrayed,
Kach seal and signature displayed;
The holders vow they must be paid,
With threats of law and chancery.
Then to despair we’re almost driven,
There’s precious little use of livin’,
When our last copper’s rudely riven
From hands that held it lovingly.
But larger yet those dues shall grow,
When interest’s added on below,
Ler.gtb’ning our chin a foot or so,
When gazing at them hopelessly.
’Tis so, that scarce have wc begun
To plead for time upon a dun,
Before there comes another one,
Demanding pay ferociously.
The prospect darkens—on, yo brave I
Who would our very haeon save;
Waive, patrons, all your pretexts waive,
Aud pay the Printer cheerfully.
Ah! it would yield us pleasure sweet,
A few delinquents now to meet,
Asking of us a clear receipt,
For papers taken regularly.— Ex.
Ben is on the romance. He
wants the Soutlj like Moore’s Ireland of
old, where a lovely maiden, decked in
gems, could wander throughout Erin
without coming to ill. He, Beo—says
the report —“would wait to give tho vote
to the white mca of the South until it
would bo safe for all men to vote; until
it would be safe for every Uuion man in
the South to sleep in his ca’in with the
latcb-s*riug out Then he would go
with the gentleman (Mr. Farnsworth)
for the white man, and not till then, so
help him God! not till then ’’ AdU Lord
help the white man when B n doos “go
for’’ him, for when did he ever go for
anything that he did not homologate
into his own use.-? As to the latch
string being out, how many persons go to
rest in Boston or sweet Essex wi bout
bolting the door? And how does the
waste of unborn life in those regions
compare with the ootasional lynebiug o:
a segro ravisher othcrwheres? M r over
the welfare of the white man in this
country docs not depend, be it known,
on this ui)bottled gad-fly, neither on
any nor all of his coadjutory p’smires in
eithtf House. They buzz and wriggle
aud nip, but we fancy the great wheel
will revolve, however they may hum on
its rim.—[A r cw York World.
Roltnkss.—At one of the ragged
schools in Ireland, a clergyman tukid
the question, “ W-bat is holiness ?”
A poor Iri-h convert, in dirtv, t«tt:red
rags, jumped up, and said, “Piaso,your
riverenoe, it’s to he claue inside.”
Would to God that all the party
names and unscriptural phrases and
forms which have divided the Christian
world wore forgotten; and that we ntigh
sit down together, as humble, loving
disciples, at the feet of our common
Master, to hear his word, imbibe his
spirit, and transcribe his life into own.
—John Wesley.
We may be engaged in tho work of

A crazy man having got in the gallery
of the Senate of Ihe United States du
ring a rambling debate, was taken out,
the Sergeant-at-arms telling him that
he was out. of place in that gallery.
“That’s so,” said tho lunatic; “I ought
to te on the floor with the Senators.”
‘l’m afraid you don’t like the babies
when they cry,’ said a matron to a gco
tleman, as she tried to soothe tho dar

‘Oh, yes,’ said he, ‘I like them best
when they cry, because I’ve always ob
served that they are carried out es the
room.’
Beauties are apt to die old maids.—
They set such high value on themselves,
that the market closes before they can
find a purchaser.
An old woman dr’ving a four-foGed

with, “Good morning mother of doD

“Good morning to you, my son.”
You are unfaithful to your soul if you
enfeeble its servant* the body; you arc
more unfaithful to it .-till if you enslavo
it to its servant.
A girl up in Oreeno county, lowa,
having been jilted by a naughty fellow,
didn't act the fool and take poiton, but
took a stick aud pelted him over the

When a lady indulges in a yawo or
two, gontlcmen are justified in guessing
their hats arc needed on tbeir heads, and
that the right side of the door is the out

If you put two persons in the same

The Trial* of Love-Maliliitf in
u Tlicuf re.
A flew evenings since many of the
audience of a fashionable theatre had
thtir attention attracted to a young
lady nnd gentleman occupying a se
cluded nook iu the dnesa circle. They
did not appear to be there so much to
onjoy the play ns to be near each oth
er, It took no stretch ol the imagina
tion to view thorn as lovers. There
was a tenderness m look nnd aetioo-, a
gentleness <.f mein, a carossing fond
ness visible in the hidden pressure of
the hand, which said, as plainly us
words could say, that cupid was again
busy with his pranks. For them the
world was all cotdeur de rose; the cup
of their happiness was full to tho brim,
and the moments flew by them golden
footed, and rosy with promises rich ui
a bright prospective.
It is scarcely necessary to aay the la
dy was young nnd pretty ; the incident
wouldn’t boar telling if she wasn’t.—
The old saying that “fine feathers
makes fine birds,” derived no signifi
cance from her. Nevertheless she was
richly clud, and the costly robe was
secured at the waist with a belt fas
tened with a golden buckle.
The play had a night scone in it, and
all at once the thetlre was darkened
and a dense gloom settled on tho nook
the lovers occupied. The thrilling in
terest of the scene attracted every eye
to the stage.
Truly, they were alone in a crowd !
It was a propitious moment. Lov
ingly the arm of the youth stole around
the fair form so delicate in outline, so
willowly and inviting; no wonder an
electric thrill burnt along the veins of
the encircling member, and made the
arm cling more passionately. But
suddenly the lights blazed up, and
with a quick jerk the youth sought to
remove bis arm; but as fate would
have it, tho tongueof the bucklo caught
in the cuff of his coat. It held him
like a hook.
“Mercy ! remove your arm,” whis
pered the lady frantically.
“I can’t!” and the youth tugged
again at the obdurate buckle.
“Oh, take it away ! do, I beseech
jou
“I’m trying, don’t you see ?” and
again he essayed to release the sleeve
h s struggles only made fast. By this
time the suppresse 1 whispering had
attracted tho notice of the Lieople
around them. One, more oflierving
than the rest, perceived the cas* of tho
embarrassment, but aware of the rea
son why tho tender caress was perse
vered in, reached ever the back of his
chair with the admonition—“l say
youngster, wait till v>n get home;
you’re making a fool of yourself.”—
Maddened by his own ineffectual ef
torts, and the lady's overwhelming dis
tress, the youth made one supreme ef
fort at reiease, and jerking the lady
half way round, tho treacherous buckle
quit its hold, just as the rebuking voice
of the rebuking stranger advised him
that, if he’d only wait till the curtain
fell, he should have the whole corner,
and might then feast on tho sweets tho
gods had provided.
