VIRTUE REWARDED.
The Ardent Young Ymginiaa.


A poetical correspondent of the Richmond
Times hits off the official story of the Gar
dent young Virginian,'' who was turned Out
of one Office, and obtained a better, in the
following admirable pasquenade:
We have seen a young Virginian as ardent as
the sun,
Who came as fast as steam could drive, post
haste to Washington,
And sought the peoples Mansion ard the peo-
ple's President,
And with tones of deepest sadness he poured
forth his lament.
~ had, !" said he "a salary of ust three hundred
dollars,
Enough to feed and cloth rs all and make the
children scholars:
A pretended friend who envied me my very hap
py state,
And could not for vacancy content himself to
wait,
Has written to you honor ibis eyes quite wat'y
crew.
That l Che fairly sobbed with grie0 did never
vote for YOU,
81 have, my fieud,'' quoth Mr.. Polk the letter
in my hat,
Demanding your removal as q lukeworm Demo-
crat;
And as a proof that you have not a Democratic
soul,
Ayers your name is not upon the Democratic
poll.n
"Sire,'' frightened up this ardent youth and
wiped his sunny eyes.
when your h~ighness hears my story twill di-
minish your surprise:
IT'S very true my humble name is not upon your
poll
But twas because l had no vote, it was upon
my soul,
When the Monster Bank in '35 contracted and
expanded5
It ruined me; q feel it is my duty to be can
did0
And since the bank has made but a simple Pa
PER loan,
Twas plain that PAPER payment was but giving
them their own.
So | took the odlus bankrupt act and thus es-
capped the cage,
And stood as tree from every debt as when I
came of age.
But as for my Democracy let any man deny;
a bundle here produced as large as Dixon Lew
is thigh.
These prove 1 made a number Of good Demo-
cratic speeches.;
And here's the votes 1 brought in, "a cross mark
over each is;
And these two thousand pounds of documents
distributed;
And would certaily have voted, but tina t l was
prohibited"
I'My dear and ardent Southern friend.r cried Mr.
Polk, 81 feel,
Your salary is quite too small for such uncommon
zeal,
Rise, take this note 10 Mr.. B.. and he uill soon
restore you,
To oil the happiness YOU have lost, and all that
was before you"
The ardent Southern youth r%etires, and soon the
rumor follows,
The ardent S. has got a place worth US. lone.

DEGRADED INTO A MEcHANIC."-TheN N.
Y Evening Post, a leading locofoco paper,
has been lndulging in excessive lamenta-
tons over the hard fate of Tom Dorr. He
was subject TO one unpardonable ~indignity in
the Posts estimation-he was "degraded
iuto a mechanic" Upon which the Louis
vile Journal thus perlinenily remarks:
What exquisite notions of gegridation this
modern of Democracy has! To cause a con.
victed traitor TO paint fans is to degrade him
because it is a mechanical vocation. The
occupation did not degrade him but he de-
graded it.-Aduertiaer.

SANDER.

A whisper woke the air
A soft light tom and low,
Yet barbed with shame and woe,-
Now, mightit only perish there!
Nor lar.her go.
All me! 4 quick and eager ear,
Caught up the little meaning sounds!
Another voice has breathed it clear,
Aud so it wonders round
From ear to lip-lrom lip to ear
Until it reached a gentle heart,
And THAT-IT BROKE.
II was the oNLY heart it found,
The only heart twas meant to find,
When first its accents woke;
Il reached that tender heart at last,
Aud THAT-lT BROKE.
Low as il seemed to others ears-
II came a thuHder crush 10 hers,-
That tragIie girl SO tar and CAV,
lie guIielss glTi SO pure anu true!
'Tissaid a lovely humming bird
That IN a fragrant lilly lay,
Anu dTeamed the summer morn away,
Was killed but by the guns REPORT,
Some idle boy had fired in sport!
The very souND-a death blow came.
And thus her happy heart, that beat
With love aud hope, so fast and sweet,
(Shrined in its lily TOO,
For who the maid that knew
But owned the delicate, flower-likc grace
Of her young form aad lace)
When first that word
Her light heart heard,
1t fiutteIed like the frightened bird,
Then shut its wings and sighed
And with q silent shudder-DIEp!
