Poetry.
Old Age and Youth
BY T. HAYNES BAYLY.

Old Age sits bent on his iron-gray steed;
Youth rides erect on his courser black;
And little he thinks in his reckless speed
Old Age comes on, in the very same track.
And on Youth goes, with his cheek like the rose,
And his radiant eyes, and his raven hair;
And his laugh betrayes how little he knows
Old Age, and his sure companion, Care.
The courser black is put TO his speed
And Age plods on in quieter way,
And little Youth thinks that the iron-gray steed
Approaches him nearer every day.
Though one seems strong as the forest tree,
The other inirm, and wanting breath;
fever Youth battle Old Age, twill be
By rushing into the arms of Death
On his courser black, away Youth goes
The pressing sage may res: at home;
He'll laugh and quaff, for well he knows
That years must pass ere Age can come.
And since too brief are the daylight hours
For those who would laugh their lives away;
With beaming lamps, and mimic flowers,
He'll teach the night to mock the day!
Again he'll laugh, again he'll feast,
His tagging foe he'll still derde,
Until-when he expects him least
Old Age and he stand side by side
He then looks into his toilet glass,
And sees Old Age reflected there!
He cries, "Alas how quickly pass
Bright eyes, and bloom and raven hair"
The lord Of the courser black must ride
On the iron-gray steed, sedate, and slow!
And thus to him who his power defied,
Old Age must come like a conqueing foe
Had the pressing sage not preached in vain,
Had Youth not written his words on sand,
Had he early paused, and given the rein
Of his courser black to steadier hand
Oh! just as gay might his days have been,
Tho mlrth with graver thoughts might blend;
And when at his side Old Age was seen,
He has been hailed as timely friend.

CoNGRfss.---'nhe consideration Of the Ore
gon question, in the Senate, has been set
for tho 10Th February,
The animated and exciting debate on
the resolution Of Mr. Ingersob providing
for notice Of tho termination OF the Joint
occupancy Of Oregon, was still continued
at tho last dates. The resolution will
pass the House, but It's fate in the Senate
is doubtful We regret to observe some
doubts expressed as to whether the entire
delegation from this State will vote for the
notice. The almost universal sentiment
hore Is, that the notice should be given,
and the American title to the whole terri
tory asserted and maintained, with the
same disregard of consequences as if the
controversy was with Mexico instead Of
Great Britain,
For our humble eolf, wo agree with the
Baltimore Convention and Mr.. Polk that
"The American title to the whole of Ore
gon is clear and unqucstionablen and
with plain-spoken Western gentleman
who lately made speech in Congress, that
after all that has passed, il would be DIS
