YOUNG GRIMES.

Oh Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We meier shall SEQ him more
But he has lef, son, who bears
The name that old Grimes bore.
He wears coat Of latest cut,
His hat is new and gay;
He cannot bear 10 view distress,
So turnes from it away
His pants are CATERS, fitting snug
Der pa,en,.leaiher Shoes
His hair is by a barber curled:
He smokes cigars, and chews.
A chain of massive gold is borne
Above his fashy vest
His clothes are better every day,
Than were old Crimes best.
In Fashions cour, he constant walks,
Where he delight doth she'd
Hi. hands are white and very soft,
But softer is his head.
He's six fee, 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 softesl tone;
His diamond pins the very one
Tha, old Grimes used 10 own.
A dickey tall adorns his face,
His neck scarf Of 5lne;
He sometimes goes TO church, for change,
And sleeps in Grimes pew.
He sports the fastest tcrab" in town,
Is always quick to bet;
lie never knows who's President,
But thinks "Old Tips" in yet.
He has drunk wines Of every kind,
And liquors cold and hot;
Young Crimes, III short, is just that sort
or man Old Grimes was not.

Madness of Pride.

When the Duchess Of Buckingham
found herself dying, she sent for Austis,
the herald, and settled all the pomp of her
funeral ceremony. She was afraid of dy-
ing before the preparations were ready.
" Why, she asked, won't they send tho
canopy for me to sees Let them send it,
even though the tassels are not finished" /"
And then she exacted, as Horace Walpole
afirms, vow from her ladies, that, If she
should become insensible, they would not
sit down in her room till she was dead.
Funeral honors appear, indeed, 20 have
been her fancy; for when her only son
died, she sent messengers to her friends,
telling them, that, if they wished to sec
him lie in state, she would admit them by
the back stairs. Such was the delicacy of
her maternal sorrow.
But there was one match in pride and
insolence, for Katharine, Duchess Of
Buckingham; this was Sarah, Duchess of
Marlborough. Upon the death of the
young Duke Of Buckingham, bis mother
ondeavored to borrow the triumphsl car
that had carried tho remains Of Msribo-
rough to the grave. "No," replied tho
widowed Duchess Of Marlborough, "ths
oar that has carried the Duke Of Maflbo-
rough's body shall never be profansd BY

through loving selfdenial and sacrifice,
Christians were, like their Lord, to make
the world rich. He looked again At the
bit of silver in his hand. It seemed to
him the symbol of all that was mercenary
and selfish. For this, men forgot that
they were men. For this, they wrung
tears of blood from their fellow-men, and
ruined their own souls. "Yet even this
vile trash," said he to himself, "can take
the mark of the cross! May it not then
be turned from q curse into q blessing
Surely it has been blessing to me this
day. Henceforth, let all my gains bear
this Transforming markw A tear was
glistening on the coin, as he dropped it
thoughtfully into his leathern purse.
l cannot say that the reflections of his
affectionate little wife took SO high or 50

full. Tenderly had she laid down the
wcaried little sleeper on her own pillow.
With . mothers skilful hand, she had
removed it, miserable clothing, and substi-
tuted snowy nightgown, often worn by
her lost Willie. The trundle-bed was wheel

the white quilt, the little pillow-casss,
were again taken from Willis's drawer"
aud carefully aired before the fire. All
the important peparations being at length
completed, the poor infant, who, two hours
before, had lacked needful food, was laid
like something precious into the downy
resting place. During the whole time,
the child had never stirred from its deep
sleep. She now gave comfortable stretch,
turned her head, in way to throw her
soft faxen curls ever the pillow, and again
sunk into quiet slumber. When tho
baker came in from his shop at ten o'clock
he found his wife fast asleep kneeling by
the trundle-bed, her head close to that of
the little stranger, and one tiny hand
clssped in her own.

Hereditary Features.

shire Brucss, who are descended from ,
common stock with the famous Rober.
Bruce Of Scotland, are said to have that
trongly-marked form of the cheek. bones
and jaws which appears on the coins of
that heroic monarch, As it did in his actual
face when his bones were disintezred at
Dunfermline, about thirty years ago.
The prevalent tallness Of the people Of
Potsdam, many Of whom are descended
from the gigantic guards of Fcderiok l. !;
the Spanish features observable in the
people of the county of Galway, in which,
some centuries ago, some Spanish settle
ments were made /; and the hereditary
beauty Of the women of Prague, are well
known facts, which have frequently attract
ed the attention of chronologists. The
burgesses Of Rome (the most invariable
portion Of every population) exhibit, at
the present day, precisely the same type
of face and form as their ancestors, whose
busts may be seen carved in relief on the
ancient sarcophagi; and the Jewish
physiognomies, portrayed upon the sepul-
chral monuments Of Egypt, are identical
With those which may be observed among
modern Jews in the streets of any of our
great cities.
