Holmes,
The bhoy's with noses so redt
Who drank with delight wherever they naci
And always wen, drank 10 bed;
sn ,he OLD grave yard, in the edge Of the
town,
In corners obscure and alone
They have gone 10 rest, fuS the gay young
sprgs
Have dhoPp'd of, one by one.
oh don't yoa remember The jug, Jim
Holmes,
Aud The spring al the foot Of the hill 4?
Where oft we have lain, ihro' the hot sum'r
hour,
And drank to our ntmost fiji =.
The spring is filed with mud, Jim Holmes,
And The Wild hogs roo, all around,
Aud the good old jug, with its whskcy so
sweet,
Lies broken and spilled on the ground.
i, don't you remember the iaycrn. Jim

AID the bar keeper, kiud and trne
aud he little nook at III, end OF the bar,
Where we drank the wine that he drew
Tie tavern is burned 10 the ground, Jim
holmes,
The bottles are cracked and dry,
Aud of all The b'boys who spread il then,
There remains, Jim, but you and |.
There is a change in the things love, Jim
Holmes,
OF some It's riuht sorrowful TO think,
For we feel that the wrongs are grcvious lt

When they change 10 a levy 10 drink;
Many the months that have passed, jim
Holmes,
There is a change from The old TO the new
But friends will bs false and friendship will

ENGLAND.
One Of the principal features Of the
news is an Address issued by Lord John
Russell to the Electors of the city Of
London. He will be a candidate at that
city u, the coming Parliamentary cleo
iion.
The address rciutes the rumor prevail
ent that Lord John was about to be
raised TO the pcerage. II also reviews
the career Of the late ministry, and is
evidently another bid for popularity and
Office. At the election which took place
at Windsor, the liberal candidate had
been returned by large majority.

"It s admitted that Cass has been

publication has embi,tered many Hunk

their way, Douglas would win, as their

a leading Democrat describe Douglas
, as he lately saw him in a Washington
H pot house, in his glory. The Little

his legs sire tched across the laps Of two
others, and his arms around the necks
of Two more. 1t is thus he embraces
