f§ 0 it V 1J , [For the Empire State.] 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.
