YOUTH VERSUS TIME.

In aIHe Spirit and Nannus of the .age."
Youth went suing to Time one day,
But not in the spring tide clear
II was in winter, cold and grey,
On the eve OF the dying year.
Youth danced into the ssge's cell,
With his nodding plume and juggling beiii

And DOTTED his cap-not a word SAID fine.
Time sat posting his books that night,
(Ai III world in his debt),
That, ere he issued more bills at sight,"
None might the balance forget.
Youth peepd oer his shoulder with laugh and jeer,
Saving -"what, have We old Rothschild here
But prison and penance are nought to me,
Since myself have debt gainst thee.
Time looked up, with his scythe beside him,
And face comnercIali, long,
While the lock ON his forehead sad-"Woe betde HIM,

Youth turned over the ledger Of life,
"You have noted" quoth he, "my frolcs and strife
But where are the promises made me here,

On his expectations vain,
And bade him be thankful if one so strong

Much as the wolf in the tale of q note,
When the stork had plucked the bone from his throat

That he let her abide with her head still on.

THE INAUGURATION.
WAsHINaToN. March

WASHINGTON, March 5.
 The Senate met yesterday at 1 I o'clock The Vice President elect was qualified and took the chair. Messrs. Frelinghuysen, Clay ton. Blob, Livingston, and M'Lean of Illinois, attended, were qualified, ,and took their seats. The oath of office was also administered to the Senators whose term of service commen ced with yesterday. At half past eleven o. clock the President elect entered the Senate chamber, supported by Messrs. Chandler and Smith of Maryland, and accompanied by q number of gentlemen. He took his seat in front of the Vice Presidents chair, the for eign ministers being seated on his iett' and the Justices of the Supreme Court on ms right.
 At 12 o'clock the Senate adourned and process sion was formed to the Eastern Porco otthe Capo'' where in presence of immemse concourse ot spec tators filling the portco the steps, and the enclosure, the President of the Unted States delivered ms Ina- gural Address and having concluded 1t, the oath to support the Constitution was administered to hlm DN Chief Justice Marshall.
 Sautes were fired by two companies ot artillery, stationed in the vicinity of the Capitol, which were repeated at the forts and by det achments o artillery on the plains. When the President retired, the pro- cession was reformed and he was conducted to the PI esidential mansion.
 Here he received the salutations of a vast number of persons, who came to congratulate hm upon his induction to the Presidency.
 The day was serene and milo, ,and every way iaVor- able the wishes of those who had come from dis tanceto witnessthe ceremony of the lnaugurat'9n- The number of persons present at the Capitol witin around, and in front of 1t, have been vanosly estima ted. We suppose that it did not fall short ot ten thou sand.

CONGRESS-.

Ertensi0n ef ths Pension System.-In the House of Representatives, Tuesday, Feb. 24, the bill to amend the act to provide for per- sons engaged in the land and naval service in the revolutionary war, was ordered to be en- grossed. The bill was reported by the com mittee on military pensions, ,and the chairman being sick, the charge of the bill devolved up- on Mir. Bates, of Mass. We have not seen all its provisions, but MT. Bates, who advoca- ted it's passage, said it provided for all classes of trOops-''if they rendered any service if they went into the field, if they shouldered a musket, they are provided for in this bill ;" that is, if they stand in need of the assistance of their country, for support. It embraces continental troops, regular troops not of the
 line, militia of either of the states, and volun- teers-all who served in the revolutionary war nine months or upwards, at one or more terms, or who were detained in captivity nine months. And all who served, or were in cap tivity, for any term under nine months and not less than three months, are to receive a pension in such proportion as the term they served bears to the term of nine mOnths.- The provision for the militia and those who served less than nine months, is restricted to men "who may need the assistance of their country for support ;" but we are not certain whether this restriction is upon the regulars or not.
 Should this biR pass the Senate, it will add D or 9O,OOO men, perhaps more. to the pen- sion list. most of them militia. MT. Wood, of N. Y. thought there were 100000 persons still living, who bore arms in the reyolutiona-

He picked up few scraps of meat, (having no gun,) on which he subsisted sparingly ten days, after which he was five days without any provision before he reached our settlement.

Itis really singular that it has been SO long neglected.
Litchfield enquirer., 1829-03-12

Algiers.-A report was recently current in France, that powerful attempt against AL giers was mediated by the government, and that preparations were making for the des- patch ofa squadron in the spring. It was stated, (although ofcOurse in no official man. ner,) that the ministry had in consideration plan of conducting an expedition to attempt that place by land, the command of which was to be given to General (by that time per haps MareschaD Maison {: considerable addi- tional forces being to be sent out from France. Bomb vessels were building at Toulon. of a new form, being almost entirely round and orders had been given, it was stated, for a large park of artillery, which was to be for warded to that port.
 That this information was correct appears to us highly probable at least it is time for that piratical state to receive new practical lesson.-Ibid.
