Some ways have proposed that the spruce old
Beau, Van Buren, should try his magical powers
of negotiation in patching up treaty of alliance
with the Belle Queen of England. Perhaps it
was with some such sneaking notion that he
talked so largely of the " Kinderhook Family"
when among the nobility Of England. We dare
say that KING MATTY would grace the presence
chamber of QUEEN Very quite as handsomely
as the German importaons, on which the Royal
Family of England have generally depended for
matrimonial spices 1t would be 10 doubt quite

The DEATH OF THE YoUNG.-Beautiful is that
season of life when we can say in the language
of Scripture, Thou hast the dew of thy youth"
But of these flowers, death gathers many. He
places them upon his bosom, and his form is
changed to something less terrific than before.
We learn to gaze and shudder not for he carries
in his arms The sweet blossoms of Jour earthly
hopes We shall see them all again, blooming
in happier land. Yes, death brings us again to
our friends They are waiting for us, and we
shall not be long They have gone before us,
and are like the angels in heaven. They stand
upon the borders of the grave to welcome us
with the countenance of affection, which they
wore on earth, yet more lovely, more spiritual.
Death has taken thee, too, sweet sister, and sthou
hast the dew of thy youth" He hath placed
thee upon his bosom, and his stern countenance
wears smile. The "far country" seems nearer
and the way less dark, for thou hast gone before,
passing SO quickly to thy rest, that day itself dies
not more calmly. And thou art there waling to
bid us welcome, when we shall have done here
the work given us to do, and shall go hence to
be seen no more on earth.-Prof Long )ello,0.

YOUNG MEN.

YOUNG MEN.
We find the following just reflections, ana eA-
cellent remarks in the Norfolk Beacon. Ihsy
are addressed to the good sense and deep refec-
ton ofthe Young Men of our country:
1t is clear that the young man of the present
age is altogether different person from the young
man of the last In his habits, pleasures, andpur-
suits, he is altogether different being The title
of boy has now no application. The gradations
of dress from boy to man exists no more. The
lad of eighteen dresses as extensively as the
greatest gentleman in the land his coats are
from patterns equally as fne-in fact, whatever
money can do, is done. Now we are not OPP
posed to neatness of the person, for he who is
careless in dress is very apt to be careless IN
other respects; but it is to the excess Of dandy
ism that we object. We object to the lavish ex-
penditure of so much money on the persons of
our young men. Let the computation be made,
and the Notifying result will appear that the
cost of dress from fourteen to twenty-one, would
have been sufficient to have betrayed the entire
expenses of college education in the first Uni
versties of Europe. But the mere loss of so
much money is comparatively nothing. Excess
sve attention to dress produces a host of bad
results. All the propensities OF the premature
gentlemen are developed while the intellect,
which ought to have been so assiduousy cultivat-
ed in the spring of life, is enervated-impoversh-
ed-ruined Intellectual pleasures have no charms
for the votary of dress. The light of cigar is the
the star that guides him, and HE theatre of action
is the haunts of inquity. BY and by he becomes
engaged in business on his own account. He is
soon married-to one, it is fair to presume, as
empty headed as himself, for he has not wit
enough to aspire TO the hand ola woman of sense,
who even if she were favorably disposed towards
him, would first put him on the penental stool.
We'll, the honey moon has passed IA moon whose
light was very like unto darkness,) and in the
course of time the duties of father devolve upon
him. But alas such a mind seeks no Joy from
the domestic hearth. Domestic pleasures have
no relish for such an appetite-the gambling table
and the bottle become his altar and his God His
wife withers away, and his children, even while
their father is above the sod are the veriest or
phans and outcasts of the earth. And when
death overtakes the misguided being, when the
clods of the valley are concealing the degraded
dust from the sight, it may be that the indulgent
mother, the kind father, reioices in the midst of
their sorrow, that the world will no longer be-
hold the degradation OF their worthless son.
How often has such scene been presented to
the view and all, all flowing from the gratfi
cation of youth in false and fleeing pleasures
and the evil habits produced by such indulgence

Of violence but to retire peaceably to your homes,
and to your families, in the midst of which your
tranquility will never be disturbed. 1t is in COM

that the vengeance of the insulted laws will be not

Sisters we've MI by the dozen, Tom,
Bot cousins different thing;
And you'd find, IL you had kissed her, Tom,
but let this be secret between us)
That your lips would have been In q blister, Tom,
For they are not Of The sister genus
There is something Tom, in sisters Up,
When YOU give her good night kiss,
That sayors so much Of relationship,
That nothing occurs ainiss
But cousins lip il you once unite
With yours in the quetest way,
Instead Of sleeping wink that night,
You'll be dreaming the following day.
And people think il no harm, Tom,
With cousin to hear you talk
And no one feels any alarm, Tom,
Al a quiet cousinly walk
But, Tom, you'll soon find what happen to know,
That such walks often grow into strsying,
And the voice of cousins sometimes so low,
Heaven only knows what you'll be saying.
Then there happens, so often, Tom,
Soft psessures OF hands aud fingers,
And looks that were moulded TO soften, Tom,
And tones on which memory fingers:
And long ere your walk is half over, the strings
Of your heart are oil put in play,
BY the voice Of those fair deini-sisterly things,
In not quite the most brotherly way.
And the song Of sister may bring to you, Tom,
Such tones the angels WOO,
But, fear il your cousin should sing to you, Tom,
You'd take her for an angel too:
For curious note is that note Of theirs,
That you'll fancy the voice that gave it,
Had been all the while singing the National Airs,
Instead of the Psalms OF David.

And her name may be nameless now,
But the sound Of those songs is still young Tom,
Though we are no longer so.
IT'S folly to dream OF bower of green.
When there is not leaf on the tree;
But twixt walking and singing, that cousin has BEEN
God forgive her, the ruin of me.
And now care not for society, Tom,
And lead most anchoriie life;
For I've loved myself into sobriety, Tom,
And out Of the wish for wife;
But oh If / said bur half what might say,

That 'twould keep you from loving Tor many day,
