ACCIDENTS OF THE TYPES.

In late eastern papera house has been advertised
for sale possessing among other ,scoing
doors both stories il the purchaser should happen
to have scolding wife too, some trouble might grow
out of this invasion of her privileges In another adj
vertisement of house, it is stated that there are
faults both in front and rear, though the tenement is
described of great excellence. In an account
of one of the late attacks made by Don Miguel upon
his brothers forces it is said that the troops OF the
assailants were rcpulsed with laughter; an aver
ment which has for its foundation nothing but the
luminosity of the compositor to the social letter that
always come before Z. In commenting upon u
speech of one of the members from Pennsy vania,
some time ago, it very shrcwdly said in country
paper, that the remarks of Mr.---comnanded the
undivided attention of the Mouse, meaning probably,
the House of Representatives.
In our own paper few days since, in describing a
strange parsnp, by some unaccuuntable accident
face printed instead of form, thereby converting
straight forward story into the most exquisite nom
sense, and giving to the vegetable phenomenon face
without ever head to support it, But one of the
grandes accidents we have met with, occurs in the
United States Gazette of Wednesday, wherein it is
said that long before the arrival of the Southern
mail on Tuesday, the people began to assemble in
Chestnut street the Post office, and before o.
clock several thousands must have congregated be-
tween Third and Fourth streets, see the govern
ment express off, and conclusion from this
fact the Gazette is made to say that the Phiadel-
phans must have the pomp OF courtesy strongly de-
veloped.-Pnmp of courtesy: We read this passage
and rubbed our eyes. There was Nothing peculiarly
courteous that could think Of, in staring at an
urchn on horse back with bundle of papers behind
him; and if there were, what should we make of the
'pomp?, Ii it had been bump we might have sup
posed that the other word intended for curiosity
but the pomp was u poser.-N Y. Standard.

"PAss ON, RELENTLESS woRLDm
Swifter and swifter, day by day,
Down times unquiet current hurled,
Thou passest on thy restless way,
Tumultuous and unstable world!
Thou passest on! time hath not seen
Delay upon thy hurried path;
And prayers and tears alike have been
In vain to stay thy course OF wrath!
Thou passest on, and with thee go
The loves Of youth--the cares OF age;
And miles and tears, and Joy and wo
Are on thy history's bloody page!
There, every day, like yesterday,
Writes hopes that end in mockery;
But who shall tear the veil away,
Before the abyss of things to be!
Thou passest on, and at thy,side,
Even as shade, Oblivion treads,
And DER the dreams Of human pride,
His misty shroud forever spreads;
Where all thine iron-hand has traced
Upon that gloomy scroll to-day.
With records ages since effaced-
Like them shall live-like them decay,
Thou passest on--with thee, the vain,
That sport upon thy Haunting blaze,
Pride, framed of dust, and Folly's train,
But thou and l-be it So
Press EDWARDS to eternity;
Yet not together let us go
To that deep-voiced but shoreless sea-
Thou hast thy friends-f would have mine:
Thou hast thy thoughts-leave me my own:
Ikneel not at thy 'gilded shrine
l bow not at thy siavish throne!
I'll let them pass without sigh;
They make no swelling rapture now,
The fierce delights that fire thine eye
The triumphs of thy naughty brow!
Pass on, relentless world!-1 grieve
No more for all that thou has riven;
Pass on, in Gods name-only leave
The things thou never yet hast giveni
A heart ut ease--a mind at home
Affections fixed above thy sway
Faith set upon world to come,
And patience through life's little day
