POETRY.
A ROSY CHILD WENT FORTH TO PLAY.

A ROSY CHILD WENT FORTH TO PLAY.
BY REV. JAS. @. LYONS, L. L. d.
A rosy child went forth to play,
In the first flush of hope and pride,
Where sands in silver beauty lay,
Made smooth by the rctreating tide
And kneeling on the trackless waste,
Whence ebb'd the waters many a mile,
lie rais'd, in hot and trembling haste,
Arch, wall, and tower;-a goodIy pile.
But when the shades of evening fell,
Yelling the blue and peaceful deep.
The tolling of the vcspcr bell
Call'd the boy builder home to sleep -
He pass'd long and restless night,
Dreaming of structures tall and fair;
He came with the returning light,
And 10, the faithlcss sands were bare.
Less wise than that unthinking child,
Are all that breathe Of mortal birth,
Who grasp with strivings warm and wild,
The false and fading toys of earth.
Gold, learning, glory What are they
Without the faith that looks on high,
The sand forts of a child at play,
Which are not when the wave goes by.
Staunton spectator, and general advertiser. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 183?-1849, 1847-02-25
RUM AND WAR

II appears by the statement Of an officer from
Germantown, Pa, that there has been at least five
times as many lives destroyed by rum and other
liquors, as by the balls and bayones of the enemy,
within the last six months He says that within
three weeks after their arrival at Corpus Christi,
fifty grog shops had reared their hydra heads" in
the immediate vicinity, and stood with open doors,
with gaming tables, hot whiskey punch, Tom and
jerry, &c, and that ''hundreds had been borne to
their graves, the victims of intoxication and dis
eases Of every kind arising from excess" The
climate and exposure have had very little effect on
the army compared with that produced by intern
pcranCp.

GALL MEN THINK ALL MEN MORTAL BUT
THEMsELvEs--We believe it is Dean Swift who
relates the anecdote of an Irish nobleman, who,
having become embarrassed by high living in Lon
don retired at the age of eighty o,u to his estate in
Ireland, to nurse his fortune, in order that he MIGHT
afterwards return again to enjoy the pleasures OF
the capitol.
Some few years since we knew of rich individ-
ual in Chester County, Penn, who had attained
nearly quite TO the age of ninety, who was in the
habit of saying, ''If should happen to die my boy
John Ga jurcnilc son of fifty fve) would be very
rich man."
The late Judge Martin. whose scat on the Su-
Preme bench was vacated last year by the adoption
OF the new constitution of Louisiana, said il was a
loss of $4,000 to him, because that was the CAPT
tai represented by his annual salary of So 900 cacu
lating interest at ten per cent. The Judge at the
time was eighty-t,co years Of age Many other in
stances could be mentioned 10 confirm the truth Of
Young's line that heads this artice-.N. O. B,tllc
