'Tis out of fashion, now, Pm told, TO marry
without plunder,
And folks that haven't got the dimes, their
loves are rent asunder;
So wage tho avsricious world, and merit loses
station,
Compared with wealth, no matter what the

Of those who we'll 'tis known have pewter in
their pockets,
Whose Mas and Pas, by fortunes luck, just
shoot 'er of like rockets
And when in air, and shining there, with q
brightness new begotten,
Are much admired, but coming down, are in

But am one who scorned to seek fortunes

And what is more, yor1l trust me- sure,) in wi.

MISCELLANEOUS.
HOW TO OBTAIN SUBSCRIBERS.
A cANvAss1Na SKETCH.

In the year '36, we published semi
weekly literary journal in the city of De-
troit, and at the commencement of
our career out thar we employed local
travelling agent--one John D, a fel-
low of infinite tact in his business, and
ordinarily one of the merriest, happiest,
best natured bipeds we ever yet met
with. John had way of obtaining sub
scnbers, however, peculiarly his own
and his success was proverbial. If he
undertook to get mans name and sub
scnption money, he got it---there was no
dodging the issue, where he had resolved
upon the thing.
John was large, powerful man, stant
ing six feet three in his socks--and he
feared nothing, in the performance of his
duty; at times when resort to the tricks
of his trade was necessary, he was ever
'at home, and his mimicry, smiling coun-
tenance, and capital address, always
made him scores of offriends, almost at first
sight. But John occasionally encounter.
ter tough customer
You call that a paper?' exclaimed a
rough, big-fsted fellow, derisively, one
morning in coffee house where John
was canvassing.

'Not's you knows on continued the
other, sneeringly. It's humbug!'

AN you're another
As the stranger got off this last re-
mark he approached the canvasser in
stantly, and offered some unnnistakable
demonstrations of a belligerent character.
John measured his customer moment
as he advanced, and drawing back, he
very coolly knocked the insolent fellow
down. Then grasping the rowdy by the
throat
is my paper humbug?' asked John.
'Yes---cuss your picturp
1T is, eh?' continued the agent, bring
ing the fellow rap on the side of the
sconce, which astonished him IMMENSELY,

the bully began to believe he had COM

vidual.

The incessant denunciations with which the Pre-
sident of the United States is grossly assailed by
the Washington Union revolving al all times TO the
good sense aud feelings OF the American people, are
especially SO. just now when the public anxiety is
awakened with lively sympathy ON account of the
Presidents illness. But nothing arrest the tor
rent of opprobrium, which, issuing from the columns
of the Union, stagnaes with offensive rankness
wherever it spreads.
The brief and simple addresses made by General
Taylor, in response TO the cordial welcome which
he meets with at every point OF his journey, are
caricatured by his revlers, and the brave old hero
is ridiculed after such wretched fashion bitter
malignity when its rancor is devoid of wit
and when the coarseness of vulgarity has blunted
all sense of propriety. With assduity of per-
severance which might be sufficient for the attain
ment of virtue if directed in such novel pursuit.
the late official tolls on in its heavy work of detrac-
proof of laudable industry, and the perversion of
truth mark of skilful ingenuity
When the President declares his adherence of
war, having witnessed enough of its calamities to
inspire SO humane feeling, the declaration is stg-
matized by such phrases as ''whimpering," "pusil-
lanimous," and "cant." This however, might be
regarded as much in keeping with the Unions''
usual style to be passed without special
comment; but when it undertakes to talk about
''bad TASTE" the reader is little startled by the
audacity which could prompt II to give lectures up
on that subject
We do not deprecate this systematized organiza-
ton Of abuse under any apprehension that it will
harm General Taylor in any way; on the other
hand, the generous and manly sentiments of the
American people will recoil from such unworthy
vituperation, and will gather around the President
with greater and still greater force in proportion
he is so unjustly and so vndctvely assailed. But
one can wish to see courtesy and fairness in adj
versary and he will be able to take part in political
contests with the freedom and emulation
when he has to deal with elements that may not de-
file him in the handling Baltimore american.

LAMARTINE INsANE.-Mr F. Gaillardet writes
follows to the Courier des Etats of this city. His
letter is dated Paris, August To-
Last week M. de Lamartine had assembled at his
table several of his intimate friends before leaving
for the Cote dor where he has offered for sale his
Paternal estate, which fortune does not permit him
to retain. The author of the " Girondists" seemed
absent minded but this sad preoccupation was
easily attributed to the hard extremity which he
was reduced, and to the physical pains of an acute
rheumatism, which had prevented his appearance
at the National Assembly since his election.
The illustrious invalid took soup with his guests,
then caused himself to be served with it three times
more in succession, if he had taken nothing at
ALL After that, during the whole repast he wore
sad and dreamy air, and touched nothing until a
plate of meringues a la creme placed under his
eye. At the site of this dainty his brow cleared,
and he drew the plate toward him, examined it
with look of appetite, and then suddenly began
to rub his hands with the cream, and lathered his
whole face with it. This act of arrangement struck
with stupor the guests and his fearful wife, who in
stantly rendered all possible care to the sufferer

Lamartine would be not only misfortune, but a
sort of dishonor for entire humanity, struck in one
of its most admirable illustrations. Every intelli

feel itself in sort shaken by the fall Of Lamar
