An Impostor.-A poor old man, appa-
rently about 60 years of age, lately
made his appearance at Lockport, with
out a hat, and seemingly very much
agitated, and made oath before masis-
trate that he had just been robbed of
$500; and after having put the civil au-
thority to considerable trouble and ex-
pense, this poor old man turned out to
be AN impostor, who was recently dis
charged from the Vermont state prison.
For while he was receiving the assis-
lance and coincidence of the good peo-
pie of Lockport, he was arrested for
passing counterfeit bills, when he con-
fessed that he had been guilty of perju-
ny, and that his object was to obtain
money. lie is now in Jail.

From the .Netc- England Farmer.
PUNNING OR SETTING
UP, AND SITTING DOWN.
A chap once told St. Patrick's dean,
While rising from his seat, 4" mean
To set up for wit"
"Ah" quoth the Dean, /" If that be true,
The very best thing you can do
Is dot0n again to SIT"
Too many like that wouId-be wit,
Set mp for what they are not fit,
And always loose their aim;
Set up for wisdom, wealth, renown,
But end the farce by sitting dozen,
With poverty and shame.
A mddIng farmer thinks he can
Set mp 20 be gentleman
And then SIT dolUn content:
But after many turn and twist
Is set do1on on the pauper list,
A fool not worth a cent.
When farmers wives and daughters fair
Set up with silks and Leghorns rare,
To look most wondorous winning,
They sit upon slippery stand,
Till indulgence with iron hand,
UpSetS their underpinning.
Some city ladies too, whose geer,
Has made them to their husbands dear,
Set up to lead the ton;
Though they SIT high on fashions seat,
Age death or poverty, albeit
Will set them dozen, anon.
Some fools set up to live by law,
And though they are " all over ja,c,"
Soon fail for lack of brains;
But had the boobies only just
Known where they ought to sit at first,
They'd saved world Of pains.
A quack sets up the doctors trade,
But could he use the sections spade
No better than his pills,
The man might moil from morn till night,
And find his match with all his might
To bury half he kills.
You may set up for what you choose
AS easily as wear old shoes,
fe'er so low at present
But when you have set up in vain,
And find you must sit dolcn again,
lis terribly unpleasant.
