ceedings In the House Of Representatives
yesterday, attest the interest felt on the sub
jet. Had such honors, as were proposed,
ever been paid TO any one but a member of
one or the other branch of Congress, there IS
no doubt they would have been bestowed, on
the present melancholy OCCASION, As il was,
the House adjourned at an hour much earlier
than usual yesterday, and it is probable will
do SO again to day. Ibid.

a solemn ceremony in memory Of the

From the New.York Evening Post.


a Mr.. Coleman-The following is character ii
real life, and at this very moment numbered among
the quick in BODY, though the dead In SOUL.
CELIBACY.
know bachelor who talks of love,
And scrapes acquaintance with all pretty misses
But whom no fair one. young or old can moye'
To taste the sweets of hymeneaI blisses;
Stiil in a torpid state of single life,
Tho ever harping on the theme OF wife,
This gentleman, that all the world may know 1t,
Hashow been counting nearly seven years
His boundess love, sou could but scarcely stow 1t
Within the bason of the polar sphere;
No damsel crosses him by day Or night,
But he's at once in rapture and delight
Yet this said gentleman with all his fire,
Has not yet found maiden to his mind
Just like the moon he monthly viii expire
In extacies as fleeing as the wind,
And then anon on Phenix wings arise,
To make out new discoveries for his eyes.
I've known him of an evening sit and grumble
About the fabric ofthe female heart;
Swear that it was but one chaotic tumble
Ofinconsistences without chart
To steer us thro' its many crooks and mazes,
Or beacon to point out its dangerous places.
But soon bis gloomy visions took the wing;
He thinks upon some Della he had seen
The night before, and who had degn'd to sing
A song about some rustic spot of green,
Txrt go. AN ,ast Lova. ;s found olone IN dweIl
Free from the green-ey' d monsters magic spell.
The thought was too extatic not to raise
scorching fame within his tickle breast
" OH for girl, he'd cry, to crown my days
With JOY like this, and make me ever blest!
I'd give up freely every city pleasure,
Gould but claim her as my own dear treasure"
Thus would he thumb each note in fancy's gamut, |
From high to low and then again to high;
At women, tho christian, now cry damn it
And the next minute be their votary-
Fali,!own as PROSTATE as founder to them,
Become their lover, and begin to WOO them.
ye gods preserve me from life like this!
Let me, if ever I should feel the smart
Inflicted by beauteous face, (that heaven of bliss
Resist at once the tempter, or impart
My feelings to the maiden adore
Try whether hymen hath such joys in store
For those who bow before his sacred shrine,
AS poets sing of in their rapturons strains.
Painting the nuptia tie like good old vine,
Which, by long keeping, strength and pith obtains.
1t may be so for aught can deny it,
The best way to find out however is to try it.
