Ion tell me you nave mt got time,
That other things claim your attention;
There's not the least reason or rhyme
In the wisest excuse you can mention:
Don't tell me about 'othor fish,
Your duty is done when you Juy EN-;
And you never will relish the dish.
Unless you've roman to fry 'em.
You may dream Of poetical fame,
But the story may chance to miscarry;
The best way Of sending ones name
To posterity, Charles, is to marry.
And here | am willing to own,
(After soberly thinking upon it,
Id very much rather be known
Through beautiful son, than sonnet.
Don't be frightened by querulous stories
BY gossippng grumbler's related,
Who argue that marriage bore is
Because they've known people mis.matcd
Such fellows, if they had their pleasure,
Because some bad bargains are made,
Would propose, as sensible measure,
To lay an embargo on trade
Then, Charles, bid your doubling good bye,
And dismiss all fantastic alarms;
I'll be sworn you've girl in your eye
That you ought 10 have had in your arms;
Some beautiful maiden, God bless her!
Unemcumbered with pride or with pelf,
or every true charm the possessor,
And given to no fault but yourself.
To procrastination be deaf!
"a caution which came from above,)
The scoundrels not only the Thief
or Time but OF Beauty and Love.

A prize tn at is truly worth winning;

And sadly prolific OF SHINING.

For choosing the double estate;'

Though it may be adopted too late.
To ones parents tits gratefully due:
Just think what terrible thing
'Twould have been, Sir, for me and for you,
If ours had neglected the ring.
Then there's the economy (clear
BY poeticaal algebra shown;)
If your wife has grief or 'fear,'
One half by the law is your own.
And as to the Joys, by division
They somehow are doubled, It's said,
(Though | never could see the addition,
Quite plain in the item Of broadly
Remember-I do not pretend
There's any thing perfect about it.
But in this III maintain to the end,
Life is very imperfect without it.
IT'S not that there's poetry in it,
Gas doubtless there may be TO those
Who know how to find and TO spin ill.,
But III warrant you excellent prose-
Don't search for an angel minute,
For suppose you succeed in the sequel,
After all, the deuce would be in it,
For the match would be unequal:
The angels. it must be confessed,
In this world are rather uncommon,
And allow me, dear Charles, to suggest,
You'll be better content with uroman.
Then, Charles, be persuaded to wed;
For a sensible fellow like you,
1t is high time 10 think OF bed
And board, and 'fxins' for two.
Don't think about something else first,

A 'Major!'-and not married yeH

VIRGINIA GOALS.

We embrace an opportunity of comparative
leisure TO publish some OF the statistics Of Goals
furnished in Professor Johnson's report ON Goals to

We do not know upon what basis the relative
value OF the various Goals enumerated is calctla.
ted whether upon the market price, their re-
lative heating powers. II is defect in the re-
port OF in the National Intelgcncers extract from
it, that this basis is not stated, aud should feel
obliged to that paper to supply It ifpossible.
Ii WILD observed that i'm this catalogue of re-
lative values, whatever the standard Of valuation
that our worthy and cstimable friend MIR. Bars
Deep Run, stands ut the head OF the Virginia
Goals, fact that could hardly have been anticipa.
ted against the more celebrated Goals from the
South side of James River.
n. Il. As Pine Wood is introduced rs one of
the subjects of comparative value, the basis of
comparative value is no doubt the relative heating
power. tested in making chain cable other
article of iron manufacture, compared with their
evaporative powers, or else the power of genera
ting the greatest amount of steam from given
quantity.
All the Goals enumerated below, we believe. are
bituminous. The "P,ctou," we think, is Nova
