LISES WRITTEN IN A FRIEND’S BOOK OF
AUTOGRAPHS.
TO J. J. N.
Some like to tell in measured strain, of love and lovers
vows,
Os faces fair and graceful form, bright eves and beauteous
brows;
This answers for Album's page, by sighing suiters pen
ned,
But mine’s the nobler task to write a tribute to a friend.
My heart was never tuned to love, nor can be while I live,
I offer thee true friendship’s vow, nought else have I to
give,
Accept a heart which never throbbed on Cupid’s burning
shrine,
And a hand which ne'er will falter, in behalf of thee and
thine.
We've known each other long and well—through varied
scenes we’ve passed,
But of all our joyous meetings, this is perhaps the last;
But wheresoe’er in future life, thy onward path may wend,
Remember, Joe, these happy days, remember, too, thy
friend.
With boats lashed close together, we’ve floated side by side,
For three brief years of pleasure, adown life’s fickle tide :
But the bands are rent asunder which bound our barks as
one,
And each goes forth upon the main, his destined course to
run.
Our work is done, our course complete, the long wished
time has come,
Wc now must leave these classic halls, and seek our future
home ;
To-morrow morn we part, dear Joe, and ne’er may meet
again, •
But on life's great field of battle,let us indeed be men.
May virtue, fame and wealth be thine—thy pathway ever
bright,
Justice thy guiding principle—thy polar star stern right;
And whether at the foot you grope, or fame’s rough mount
ascend,
Remember thy most constant, and perhaps thy truest friend.
Before I close one warning heed—live not a single life,
Secure that diadem of home, a fond and faithful wife ;
And when life's cup of pleasure for thee runs o’er its brim,
Think sometime Joe of b; -gone days, ami cast a thought on
0. C., August 1, 1855. JIM.
Fast Young Men.
The Philadelphia Ledger thus describes fast
young men, a class who abound in all our large
cities. Many of them will, no doubt, Recog
nise the picture:
Tnc fast young men in great cit'es are very
different from those described as suckers, prin
cipally from the fact that they have plenty of
means, left by some old uncle, or unbounded
credit, because of the old age of their fond and
doting parents. They make their first essay in
manhood by a plentiful supply of bear’s grease
and shaving frequently, so as to bring out a
sickly moustache. As. soon as this throws a
shadow upon their aristocratic lips, cigars,
“real operas,” comes in vogue, and they seek
out acquaintances taught in the fast line school
for the purpose of being initiated in all the
ways of making a sensation, and letting plebe
ians know that they are lions of the town. —
FasLior.able tailors, hatters, bootmakars, feel
their influence, and grow richer as their cash
diminishes, because it is a eoncientious matter
with fast young men to buy nothing from those
who have not the conscience to charge them
double for all they purchase. Ne:st to fine
clothes, cigars, and costly wines, the fast young
men flourish with fast horses; nothing short of
a 2-40 nag being considered worth their no
tice. They drive with an air which is certain
ly refreshing to them, and greatly provoking
to those who have once been fast and did the
same thing, but are now compelled to patron
ise ‘high price omnibus lines.’ They patronise
the Italian Opera, and clap their kid-gloved
hands delicately whenever they think the pri
ma donua has given the cue for such applause,
or when the ‘bosso profundo’ hesitates as if
waiting for some appreciation of the last note
uttered. Their opera glasses arc the longest
and most bedizzened with gold or ivory, and
when the curtain falls they may be seen stand
ing with their backs to the stage, and leisure
ly surveying through their glasses the gaily
dressed ladies, like some old tar trying to
catch a glimpse of land, after a long voyage.—
By this means the fast young man makes him
self visib'e to all, creating a flutter among
those having marriageable daughters of an un
certain age, and exciting the envy of those who
would be fast, but want the credit or means.
“The happiest’ period of the fast young
man’s life, is after the fatigues of the day,
when a number of them get together in a fash
ionable restaurant and talk over thejr doings
through the day. Their conversation never
descends to politics, the arts and sciences,
mathematics, agriculture, and kindred sub
jects, but becomes animated as to how many
good runs they made at billiards,- the number
of ten-strikes they got, the speed of their hors
es, the beauty and lightness of their carriages.
They chatter away, having no thought of the
future, except to devise plans for sport, and
how they can manage to have a “fine time,”
and show vulgar people the way to live until
their money is gone, or they die from excesses,
leaving behind no one to regret their absence,
except, perhaps, some few who toadied to
their weakness that “thrift might follow fawn
ng
Land Warrents still Declining. —The
market both here and ii? New York is report
ed overstocked. A few sales were made in the
latter city on yesterday at 87 1-2 cents per
acre for 120’s; 92 1-2 for IGO’s and 80’s
Large lots were refused. Prices are a figure
better here. The bill pending before Congress
to make land warrants receivable for the re
served sections on Railroad grants and at pnb
lic sales, intended to enhance the value of war
rants, was defeated in the House the day be
fore yesterday, by a large majority, and deal
ers having no hope of an improvement in prices
are now throwing their stock on the market
as prices’ are reported below $1 per acre
in Northwestern States. The demand being
light, with an increased supply, the market
must give sway, until they reach a point that
will induce capitalists to purchase, when it
may settle down to about 85 to 95 cents per
acre. By the Ist January next it is supposed
that the lauds in Kansas and Nebraska will be
brought into market, and the issue having
greatly fallen off by that lime, better prices
may be obtained, and warrants may go above
$1 per acre.— Wash. Star.
Wheat at Richmond Va.-IT is stated in the
Richmond Enquirer that the Central Depot in
that city is entirely filled up with wheat, and
that there are now standing upon the tracks
and sidclings three long trains waiting for room
to be unloaded. On Saturday last four freight
trains were received in Richmond over that
road, bringing betweeu fifteen and twenty thous
and bushels of wheat. The millers caunot re
ceive the wheat as fast as it is coming to market,
and it has declined in price from 10 to 15 eents
per bushel in consequence, and it is thought it
will decline still more if tho farmers continue
to force it into the market — Sav. News.
