THE OLD-TIME CARRIER.

VINO that remembers twenty years ago.

His intellectual ofice--not as now, -.

And sometimes gay ones, laughter-moving wit,
Sweet poesie, strange anecdots and news

This moment falls upon the garden path,
Close by the tree, beneath whose murmuring shade,
Awhile ago. sat me down, expectant
And twas the carrier Of the telegraph"
Gave back to me my youth--atat carrier
Who rode sublime on horseback--this who walks!
And discovered, or fancied 80,

Perhaps his father-who ny father brought
Telegraph "#-on horse high-mounted, brought.
Never will forget him Tall he was,
And from his Rosinantps bony back
Nearly to earth his ample feet did reach.
There would he sit astride, and blow his horn
With conscious dignity, to give the house
Glad tidings of his presence! Wondrous mani (.
How all the little boys would throng to see him,
And stand, and stare, admiring still the more,
TIL, gathering up the reins, the majesty
Passed on, with head erect!
Thus, day by day,
He rode, and made pleasure of his task,
And when the night Of Saturday arrived,
He met his comrades where the curtains red
Promised good entertainment, royalty
Raising his glass, and drinking to "Me Pyessr

MEssRs. EDIToRs: vulgar Jest, attributed
to your demi-god, Mr.. Secretary Corwin, has
been going the round of the papers. He told,
it seems, some Of the clerks in his Department,
(who, he judged, pretended to be sick,) that
within a certain time they must either die, or
get we1, or resign. Now, beside the covert
blasphemy of such q speech-about which
shall say nothing-there are t,oo topics Of ami
madversion to which would call your atten-
tion and his.
First. At the very time Mr.. Corwin is repre-
sented to have issued his sanative decree, Gin
which he assumed the place of 0mnipotence,
and to which he attributes q sovereign power
| Mr.. Corwin was himself kept from the Treasury
| Department by g serious indisposition" Charity
would lead us to suppose that such indisposi-
ton was not feigned, in order to escape the
perplexites of a new situation, or the solicita-
tions of Office -seekers-causes to which the in
disposition was attributed. Yet | hope the
world of clerks will always have little more
respect for Heaven, and good deal more SYM
pathy for the afflicted sympathy which I
can testify they exhibited when they believed
(simple folks were they } that Mr.. Corwin was
really sick-than, ifsirnilar circumstances occur,
to issue decree he " must either die or re-
sign"
Second While am neither clerk nor be-
holden TO the Treasury in any way for its pap,
that worthy gentlemen, whose word and whose
honor, though they be clerks. are just as relia-
bic as Mr. Corwins, or any other, mans, should
be treated by Mr.. C. with such unnecessary
and wanton contempt. Did Mr.. c. by his taunts
mean to convey the idea that the gentlemen in
the Treasury Department are guilty of sham
ming sickness to evade their duties 1t is his
business, if there be such, to remove them and
give their places to others but far from his
duty or becoming his station to insult large
class of honorable men, whose offices happen TO
be at his disposal, because of few favorites Of
the great, who have been put into Office while
deficient in moral principle. Let Mr.. Corwin
visit every desk let him inspect the work Of
each clerk, personally; let him require and re-
ceive the reports Of the chief clerk in each De-
partment, Gf he can ever believe that they will
not sham,) and let him remove from office those
who are unworthy, and give their places to
such as are deserving But let not Mr. Cor
win, for his own dignity's sake, condescend,
even in stump speeches, to insult those who
are as truly gentlemen as himself, who, guided
by christian principle, scorn a lie and spurn the
thought of shamming sickness. No CLERK.
