foonery of Rice, would have believe some FIVE
years since, that the words OF Zip Coon"
was prophecy
They have come 10 pass, and although the
song is now nearly forgotten, none who ever
heard the original, will fail TO recollect the
following lines:
sI tell you what's going TO happen now
berry soon
DE United States Bank will be blown 10
the moon,
Den all the oder Bank notes will be mighty
plenty,
And one silver dollar will be worth ten or
twenty.
o glory be 10 Jackson for blowing up de
Banks.
And glory be TO jackson for the currency
pranks
And glory be to Jackson for the battle Of

APPRENTICE BOYS.

Ofall classes of people, these lads are
least affected by the pressure ofthe times.
Whatever happens, they get their meat
and lodging; and If their masters have
no work for them to do, they take it as
kindly as ifthey had.-Whieheve way
the world wags, it wags well for them.
So sensible of their good fortunes is enc
OF them, that he has absolutely become
poetical Oh the subject.
A lad OF some fifteen years, clad in a
short jacket, came into our office, and
popping down bit of paper folded let
ter-wise, Immediately disappeared.-On
opening it we discovered, under the head
of "The Pressure, and over the sigma
ture of can Apprentice, very consid-
cradle string of poetry, Of which the fol-
lowing clever lines arg part. After
holding forth on the troubles and vexa
tons OF the times-broken banks. shin
plasters, ruined trade, puzzled politi-
clans, and prevailing discomfort, he thus
triumphantly refers 10 his own and his
fellow apprentices happy condition;
"BHt look for buoy ant hearts and real Joys
They're nowhere found but with apprentice
boys
No dearths can scare them, nor no panics
fright
No paper banks can quench their pure delight,
They live upon their masters milk s. honey;
Colds worth no more TO them than paper
money.
Their master clothes them, and The master
boards,
And gives them work, whenever trade af-
fords.
When times are hard and work cannot be
found
md wilher'd merchants start at every sound
The happy prentice rambles through the
streets
Envied he walks and smiles on all he meets,
Nor specie nor its want his heart snnoys--
Then who'd not live the lives of prentice
boys;" " Y. paper.
