From the Kcnhcbcc Journal.
COstOmS Of the PmltaHs.

I,ycEum. The lecture last week by Ep-
MUNp QuIHcY OF Massachusetts wns very
amusing and instructive account oi the nlali-
ners aud customs OF our Puritan ancestors,
their early laws for the regulation OF dress
and divers domestic matters, extending even
to the proper regulation of tire love passa-
yes between young men and maldens. The
risible muscles of the audience were pretty
frequently exercised, while at times their IL
ner sensibilities were touched; and we be-
lieye all were highly interested by the wit
and eloquence of the speaker, and instructed
by his piquant descriptions. We think Bos-
ton of the present day would hardly be recog-
nized i'm his picture OF Boston OF the severn
teenth century, when turnips and cabbages
were grown in Washington street, and COWS
were pasturcd at the South End. Tho city
exu,isites, who emerged on Sunday to sport
their goatoes on the irottoirs aud prome-
nates, would scarcely relish the strict disc-
pline of Puritan times, when The commander
of British mnn-oi-war and his bouts crew
were set in the stocks because they refused
to 90 TO meeting when they came ashore
one Sabbath NOR ming; and when all the
shops were regularly closed, and business
suspended for the Thursday lecture. We
think attendance on religious services is not
o,.iie so punctual in Boston now as in those
days,-belter for many a city youth and
maiden If it were. The circumstance above
alluded TO of the British captain being put
IN the stocks, was quoted from writer OF
the period, who, although not vouching for
its strict truth, told good story OF tho Sc
uuel to it. It seems tha, the chuiclI-wardens
on learning that the Jealous tithing-men had
nut tue captain in limbo Oh the wharf, hast
encd down to release him, apoloeizing for
the matter 10y ulluding TO the strictness OF
their religious regulations. The officer told
them to make 10 excuse; lac was himself
an advocate of strict discipline, and blamed
nobody for enforcing the law; and as q
proof of his good feeling, he invited them
all TO dine with him next day OH board ship.
They accordingly went, aud were regalcd
with all the good things of the time, and PHI
ed with first rate liquors, (teetotal societies
were not then eXtunt, and even churcl-war-
dens loved good liquor, until they became
so mellow as TO walk particularly crooked
when they rose from table to 20 home. Ii
was now the captains turn. On reaching
the deck, our tipsy wardens were immediate
" seized up to the rigging, and round do
zen administered upon the back of eacl
with decided JUNCTION, the captain all the

The Careless Couple.

Jenny is poor and am poor,
Yet we will we'd, SO say no moro;
And should the BARNS you mention como,
As few that marry but have some,
No doubt but Heaven will stand our friend,
And bread as well as children send.
So fares the hen in farmers yard
To live alone she finds it hard;
I've known her weary every claw
In search of cotton mongst tho straw,
But when in search of nicer food, --.---.--
She clucks amid her chipcring brood.
With Joy I've seen the self same hen
That scratched for one could scratch for ten.
These are the thoughts that make me willing
TO take my girl without shilling
And for the seli-samo cause, dye sec, ...
Jenny's resolved to marry me.
