No. IAN OLD MAID.
Here hes poor forlorn maid,
Whose charms, long e'er her death, decay'd
Whose years in solitude she sat,
Forgot by all, except her cat.
In youth-believe it-she was fair,
In wit, and grace, and beauty rare,
A grave old bachelor was slain!
Who sought her hand and heart in vain.
AS she grew old, and lost her power,
Her temper, with her age, grew sour,
She scolded all her friends to death
She's silent now, for want ofbreath
No. 2.-oN AN OLD BACHELOR.
Here lies the veriest wretch forlorn,
Wounded by love and killed by scorn-
The man tina. courted this old maid,
When in the charms Of youth arrayed.
He neither drank, nor chewed, nor smok' d,
Unknown through this dull world he pok'd
Without dog, or a cat, or " ife,
To cheer the loneliness of life.
Scorned by the sex, he was not blind
To any charms of woman kind:
His soul is fed-his sins forgiven
He's wooing angels now in heaven.

MEXICAN PARROT.

The Mexican horror of the Americans.
is well illustrated by the following anec-
dote:
Immediately after the siege ofVcra Cruz
Col. X. was walking along the streets,
when a parrot seeing him coming, screecl-
ed out-'Great God Almighty! here comes
the Americans! rum! run!!r The Col.
entered the house totake a look at the crea-
ture, and as he left, i: screecl.ed out, will,
a most knowing look at the family-sany
one hurt?' 1t was too much for the Colo
mel, who returned and bought the parrot.
The tara a,is was unfortunately drowned
