SELECTED SCRAPS.
POETlZING.

Many have regarded, or affected to regard,
the writing of poetry as beneath the attention,
and perhaps Inconsistent with the powers OF a
well-balanced and practically operative mind.
We have known John Quincy Adams not un-
frequently laughed at for his indulgence in
verse-whereas in nothing, perhaps, have. the
better feelings of his nature more apply dis
played themselves, than in these occasional,
happy effusions.s We have several OF them
now in our mnd-but will only only refer to
the one we published in Mondays daily. tu,
The idea would be a queer one, to many of
our readers, that Daniel Webster shonld write
poetry. That he has so done, and good poetry
TOO, we have seen evidence TO satisfy our own
mnd-not derived so much from an early and
somewhat extended production, which was
shown to US as his, many years ago, by the
person to whom II was communicated, as from
the following fancful and vigorous lines, writ
ten by him, at the time Of Lafayete's visit to
this country, in the Album Of lady who had
requested Of Mr.. w. the favor 10 write his
name by the side Of the Generals autograph.
4. Dear ady--I little fear
'Tis dangerous to be writing here

Al CUTE YANKEE.

Some time since, a s!ab-sided mortal from

"Never mind the cents, Mr.. Snooks, here's

Messrs. Burlap, Jeans s. Co., were electric
ed at the miraculous honesty Of the Down
Easter, and would not let him go so readily.
They insisted on his purchasing bill of goods;
but Zerubabel was unwilling. 'It was darned
hard to pay for Them" he said. he'd been all
winter raising that. But TO their great satislac
lion, they succeeded in securing so good Gus
toner by selling him bill Of one thousand, at
six months. 81 "i sh" 8Ai
When the time for payment arrived, and a
notice of the demand was forwarded to the
Down Easter, the letter remained two weeks
unanswered The account was sent to limb

that no such man as Zerubabel Snooks ever

he lived-so he died. You may depend he was
a hard case. never knew the like He had
most amiable wife, who begged him to de-
sist; but he went to town, and as often he
came home drunk, and treated her and his
children badly. When she hid his liquor bot
tie he went off and got a Jug Of the stuff and
made his little boy hide il for him without his
mothers knowledge. He bought barrel full
sometimes, and she would turn the spickel
and let II run out; and she would beg and en-
treat him not TO drink, but he would do it. FL
nally, he became poor, and every thing around
him was poyerty-siricken. His lands were
filed with weeds, and his cattle starving. Yet
he would kill the cattle and sell their hides for
liquor. Presently the foolish Lfe-spree was
over, and his breath left the body. Il was a
great reliefto the poor wife, and the children,
too; for she found that drunken husband was
worse than none. He was hard case, sir,

Some years ago we read the following, in q

at is much 10 be regretted tnat learned men
while in health pay so l,le attention TO the
means of retaining it. There is not any thing
more common than to see miserable object,
overrun with numerous diseases, bathing,
walking, riding, and, in word, doing every
thing for health, after il is gone; yet if any one
had recommended these things TO him by way
of prevention, the advice would, in all proba-
bility, have been treated with contempt. or al
least with neglect Such is the weakness and
folly Of mankind; and such. the want OF fore

would be more proper perhaps TO say, il IS inn
possible for US to pass through life in such
way as that no one will take offence al our

generally agreeable and pleasant, in what COM
