which it viii be well for some Of our .fast youn
nen. to ponder.
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 aat IS new and gay:
He cannot bear 70 view distress,
So turns from it away.
His pants are gaiters, fitting snug
Der patent leather shoes
His hs.,r ia by barber curled
He smokes cigars. and chews.
A chain of massive gold is borne
Above his iashy vest;
HIS clotaes are better every day,
Than were old Grimes best
In Fashions courts he constant walks,
Where lie delight doth shed;
His hands are white and very soft,
But setter is his head.
He's six feet taIl, no post more straight,
His teeth are pearly white;
In his habits he is sometimes loose.
And sometimes very tight.
His meaaers are of sweetest grace,
His voice OF sofrest tone;
His diamond pins the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
A dici.cy tai adorns his face,
His neck a scarf Of blue;
He sometimes goes 10 church, for change,
And sleeps ia Chimes pew.
He sports tie fastest "crab" in town,
Is always quick to beti
He never knows "a hos President,
But thinks old Tips in yet
He has drunk wines of every kind
And liquors cold and hot;
Ioang Grimes, in short, is just that sort
OF m;en old Grimes was not.

Too GOOD To be Lost.

Al a short distance from the city Of Bos.

ran, soldier Of the revolutionary war who is
nimety-nne years.of age--one in whom the
fire of patriotisni still burns brightly as it
burned of fyorc-ahd whose eye still sparklcs
with the viyacitr of youth, when he relates
the events OF Chose days that tried mems
souls" Amonssthe names Of those he de,
lighted to honor; w. The name of General
Jackson. That gan he greatly revercnccd,
he admired the man for his heroism, and, hon.

were then endcavoring TO dishSor the ramc

en,y years of age, was informedlf what was
going on, ,'aud of the threats that Mere made to
shoot any man that should attempt to cut
down the image. Fired with Indignation at
the insult offered to Jackson he thouldcreu
his axe and went out Notwithstanding the re
monstrance of his family who trembld for his
safety, accompanied osly 10y his youngest son
who would not let his father go alone vn such
dangerous expedition. TIE firmness of his
step-,he determination which his whoh de
meanor expressed-his well known attach.
ment to his country and TO its noble deien.
dcrs, conspired to speak ont his purpose, and
the axe on his shoulder needed no comment
as he marched boldly up to,the mock galows.

they were awed by the boldness of that aged

his eye, as he boldly marched off in triumph

from such a quarter, and2it took them by sur
