THE CONJUGATING DUTCHMAN

Two English gentlemen once stepped into cof
lee house In Paris, where they observed tall odd
looking man, who appeared not to be native, sit
ting at one of the tables, and looking around him
with the most stone-like gravity of countenance
upon every object. Soon after the Englishmen en-
tered, one of them told the other that celebrated
dwarf had arrived at Paris. At this the grave look
ing parsonage above mentioned opened his mouth
and spake 81 arrive" said he, 'thou arrivest he
arrives, we arrive, you arrive, they arrive" The
Engllshman, whose remark seemed TO have suggested
this mysterious Speech stepped up the and
lspa nd soea TO T he snos
speak, you speak, they speak. GLOW is this" said
the Englishman edo you mean to insult me ?''
The other replied Il insult, thou insultest he
insults, we insult, you insult, they INSULT This
Is too much," said the Englishman 81 will have
satisfaction if you have any spirit with your rude
imperturbabe stranger replied 81 come, thou com
est, he comes, we come, you come, they come -
and thereupon he rose with great GOODNESS and fol-
lowed his challenger. In those days, when every
gentleman wore a sword, duels were speedily dis
patched. They went into neighboring alley, and
the Englishman, unsheathng his weapon, said to
his antagonst-'Now, sir, You must fight me-
81 fight" replied the other, drawing his sword
''thou fightest, he fights, we fight'-here he made
thrust-''you fight, they light'-and here he dis
armed his adversary "Well," said the English
man, '.you have the best of it, and hope you are
satisfied" 81 am satisfied" said the original
sheathing his sword, 'thou art satisfied he is sails
tied, we are satisfied, You satisfied they are sat
lsfed." 81 am glad every is satisfied said
the Englishman; ''but pray leave off quizzing me
In this strange manner, and tell me what is your
object, II you have any, in doing so' The grave
gentleman now for the first time became intellioi-
BILE. 81 am Dutchman, - said he '.and am learn
ing your language find very difficult to remem-
her the pecularites OF the verbs and my tutor has
advised me in order, to fix them in my mind, to
conJugate every English verb that hear spoken.
This have made it a rule to do | don't like TO
have my plans broken in upon while they are in
operation, or would have told you this before y
The Englishman laughed heartily at this explana-
ton, and invited the conjugating Duchman to dine
with them. IL will dine,' said ne. 'thou wilt
dine, ne will dine, we will dine, you will dine, they
will dine, we will all dine together" This they
accordingly did; and it was difficult to say whether
the Dutchman ate or corrugated with the most per
severance.

POETRY.
EY G. LINNEUs BANKS.

TnERE's mighty old Spirit abroad in the air,
And his footsteps are visible every where;
He hath been on the mountain all hoary with years.
And left il believed in ocean Of tears;
He hath clambcred DER turrct, and battlcmcnt gray
And wrapt them in mantcs of silent decay
He hath swept through the forest, aud laid blow,
The stalwart oak chief of the lcafy tribe, low;
In Art: as in Nature, the vast and sublime,
All speak of the visits of graybcard Time.
He's skeleton thing with a countenancc grim,
All toothlcss his gums, and his eycbals dim;
two edged scythc in his lank, bony hand,
His 'scutcheon's hatchment Of glass cbbing sand
A thar or Jewels, worm eaten and black,
And omnipotcnt hung at his back.
He mounts on the Lightning, he leaps with the wind
Destroying and scattering, before and behind.
The dial's shadow and old abbcy's chime,
Denote with warning the mission of Time.
He roaneth unwearcd by night and by day,
daring old footpad, still tracking our way;
He fcarcth no dungeon, judicial fate
But plundcrcth alike from the bcggarcd and great.
He nestlcth with youth in its valley of flowers,
And sportcth with love through the eagle winged hours
But the bald -pacd laird, and the trcmulous knee,
The most he delighteth with ever to be
while thew wounded in heart and the deepest in crimc
Beg a call from tho mighty physician, Old Time
He mndcth the traffic, both early and late
That lincth the road TO Etcrnty's gate,
And passcth by, shod with earth's claycy miro
But he taketh the body toll for his hire
The grandcc may sit in his richly carved chair,
And the life's blood of insects Indignantly wear:
The monarch may rule god, on his throne,
O'cr the lcaschold Of ashes he callcth his own;
But the spocr at last round their strongholds shall climb
And six feet OF earth be the conquest of Time.

question, when she very ingenuously remarked:
''Pa goes in for $40 40 because he says he's in
favor of the whole or none. Ma says she'd take
