Young Grimes.

Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more;
But he has left son, who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.
He wears a coat of latest cut,
His hat is new and gay;
lie cannot hear to view distress,
SO turns from it away.
His pants are CATERS, fitting snug,
Der patent leather shoes;
His hair is by a barbar curled;
He smokes cigars and chews.
a chain of massive gold is borne
Above his flashy vest;
His clothes are better, every day,
Than were old Grimes best.
He wears gold watch in his fob,
From it hang golden seals,
lie daily drives around the town
Behind a horses heels.
In fashions court he constant walks
Where he delights doth shed;
His hands are white and very soft,
But softer is his head.
Hes six feet tall, no post more straight,
His teeth are pearly white;
In habits he is sometimes loose
And sometimes very tight
His manners are of sweetest grace
His voice Of softest tone
His diamond pin 5 the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
His jetty hair conceals his mouth,
His whiskers hides his cheek;
lie has an aunt of Christian mould,
OF temper mild and meek.
4 dickey tall adOrns his face,
His neck scarf of blue;
lie sometimes goes to church, for change,
And sleeps in Grimes pew.
lie dissipates the cash more free;
Is lavish as the air;
] grieVe to hear, from those who know,
That sometimes he will swear.
lie has drunk wines of every kind,
And liquors cold and hot;
Young Grimes is just the sort of man
Old Mr.. Grimes was NCT.
Now let us pray old Grimes may stay
His quiet grave within,

The young 'un spread his " tin

The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we Judge, long felt
desideratum--a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the Both January, 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
than court house The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with il.
The page is large, fair, white and readable. The
table Of and index seem TO be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes US
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
TO the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
The editors notes scattered through the volume,
referring TO American decisions, and still more TO

each year six large octave Volumes for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annuni. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-

General Taylor broke the silent admi-

he continued, that he did not think he
should receive presents until the campaign,
so far as he was concerned, was finished.
He elaborated on the improperly OF nam

the thus honored might disgrace their
name-sakes. We urged his acceptance Of
the present, and he said, finally that he
would put it carefully away in mis- military
chest, and if he thought he deserved so

campaign, he would acknowledge the re-
