As it swiftly scuds along,
Hear the burst of happy song,
See the CLEAN of glances bright,
Flashing DER the pathway white,
Jingle jingle! how it whiris,
Crowded full of laughing girls!
Jingle! jingle! fast it flies,
Sending shafts from hooded eyes,
Roguish archers, III be bound,
Little needing who they wound.
Sss them with caprlcious branks,
Ploughing now the drfted parks,
Jingle Jingle! mid their glee,
Who among them cares for mel
Jingle! jingle! on they go,
Capes and bonnets white with snow,
At the faces swimming past,
Nodding thro' the heecy blast;
Not single robe they fold.
To protect them from the cold;
Jingle! Jingle! mid the storm,
Fun and froiic keep them warm.
Jingle! Jingle! down the hills
O'er the meadoWs-past the mills
Now Ills slow, and now tits FAST

Spring will come and stop the chime!

From the Philadelphia Times,
Who is Mike Walsh

There is deal of romance in the hist
ory of this iil-starred individual. Ii
speaks, as Sam Slick would say, not vol
umes, but whole libraries of admoniion
| According to the "Sublerranean," Mike
is the only living member of his family.
His father was an opulent man, and al
one time possessed of fortune OF over
$4,000. He owned two farms in Jer.
sey, on one OF which was Il mill, valued
with its machinery and stores at $4,000.
This had been insured for thirty years,
and on the day of the expiration of the
policy, he made arrangements TO go to
Newark to renew it, The business of a
friend however, which involved endorse
menls to the amount of $22,O0 detained
him for a day. That night the mill
burned down, and every dollar of his
worth lost.
The friend for whom the endorsements
were made, subsequently proved insolv-
ent, and this, with the law expenses and
other embarrassments, swallowed up the
remainder of Mr.. WaIsh's property,& left
him penniIess. He shortly after died a
broken hearted man. The children, con-
ssting of four brothers, Mike being the
youngest, and girl, scattered in all di-
rections, the latter alone staying with the
mother. A singular fatality attended
them all. One oil the brothers fel! by the
side of Crocket, at the massacre of the
Alamo. Another was shot in a duel
fought across table in the south. The
third was burnt in the Ben Sherrod, and
the sister persisted in the Inflated Lexing-
ton. The mother soon followed, and left
him like Logan the last of his race. The
hand of a savage and unreentng destiny
has stripped him Of every tie it has
placed him an isolated emblem of the
wrath that spares sparrows to blast men,
in the circle of cold unleeling world, to
grapple with the crowding obstacles that
threatened to overwhelm him. A feeble
heart would have sunk under this, in spir-
itess despair. This brave one only con-
centrated his energies, and defed them.

for not trying this WORM EXTERMINATOR
when they kno,o that even if the case was no
worms, this remedy could not by any possibility
do hurt-but always good as purga,Ive-let the
disease be what it may. How important then to
use it, and who will dare take the responsibility
to do without it? Let every parent that is not
brute, ask themselves this question in truth and
soberness
Mr.. ]. C. RINGOLD, had child very sick,
for near two weeks, and attended by physician,
without relief, wheE KOLMSTOCK'SV ERMI-
FUGE was given, and next day more than forty
worms were passed, when the child recovered ra-
pidly.
A CHILD ola widow woman, living near the
Manhatten Water Works, had dwnded for
month, tlll near skeleton, with great dryness of
the mouth, and itching of the nose. A humane
lady, who called to provide for The family, sent
immediately for KOLMSTOCK'S VERMI-
FUGE, which brought away great qantities of
worms for two or three days, and the child grew
better at once, and regained its full strength in
less than month.

member is Little, and another is Lou,
and at least two of them are Long. One
is all Chinn, and another, although of
cheerful aspect, is composed of Vinegar.
A Dane and Scott, hold seals in the
1ouse-but no wild Russian has vet
there been seen. A Coli and two BulIocks
appear in their seats with much gravity;
and although we have literally speaking,
no donkeys in the House, we occasionally
listen to a Bray. Canals are not in favor
with the present Legislature but RhoaGes
are approved of-and even Lane is toll
Grated, OakeS flourish in native majesty
and Rice, whole some food, according
to DR.. Graham, is ever present. There
is no corn in the House, but plenty of
Cobb, and al least whole Peck Ono,

/ all, excepting the light of Day-and
the House is well ventilated by constant
Gale. and watered BY murmuring Brooks.

OF pathological specimens, there is
a rich variety, viz, Crane. ParrOM
