The Time to Die.
BY DAVID z. CARLE.

Bh DAVID r CAbbE.
asked the child whose prattling tongue,
With sweet and silvery accents rung;
Who gambied through the livelong day,
And careless whiled the hours away
"Tell me. sweet child, the-time TO de-"
Thus did that careless boy reply;
"Oh! lis not time for one so Young,
Whose race in life is just begun;
Whose hopes within the bud yet lie
Oh! It's not time for me to die!"
| asked the youth whose painting soul
Defed all bonds and spurned control;
Whose heart was filed with boyhood's fire
And gushing DER with chaste desire
Tell me the time when you would die"
Thus did the ardant youth reply;
"When have bravely battled life,
And conquered all, and gained the strife;
When on Fame's list I've mounted high
Then, only then, it's time to de!"
| asked the man whom fieeting time
Bespoke as one in manhood's prime;
Whose thoughtful look and knitted brow,
Proclaimed him in life's warfare now
"Tell ne the time when you would die!"
Thus did the hardy one reply:
81 would yet live and have my health,
To grapple with the yellow wealth;
To guard my wife and family
No, I'm not yet prepared to die!"
| asked the man whose careworn look
A weight Of grief and age bespoke;
Whose slow and trembling accents gave
Tones borrowed from the silent grave
"Tell me the time when you would die"
Thus did the hoary one reply:
Though am old, life yet is sweet,
] am not yet prepared to meet
The monster Death; know not why
But still I'm not prepared to die!'
All me It's ever thus with man,
Who hugs the life that's but span;
Who fleeing from Deaths rude alarms,
Is quickly hurried TO its arms.
When asked the time that he would die,
'Tis ever thus he will reply:
/ am too young, too fair, too blessed;
Too weak, too old, too much oppressed;
Too rich, too poor, too low, too high
And am hot prepared to die!''

There is a good deal of what may be
termed "Yankee Cunning in the follow
ing -
\ number of years ago the demand in
the East for dried plums so advanced the
price OF that fruit as to induce merchants
and others to "buy up" all that could bc
obtained IN any way, at any price. Some
sent out their agents to make purchases
in the country, wherever plum tree had
been known to stand. In fact, all were
decidedly sharp at plum buying, yet new
er was the remark heard to escape the
lips of any, 81 am speculating in plums.'
Each went on the principle that "he who
was still obtained the swill,' and as GER
tainly argued that he would be able to
monopolize the plum-market, ere long, for
many 4 mile around.
One morning, a sLrcvd clerk of the
firm ot--bestrode his charger early,
aud sailed forth to buy of the country
merchants in an adjacent town Hurry
ing along, he overlook a person whom he
recognized as a brother clerk, Of another
firm, who was mounted for the same er-
rand as himself.
"Wen," said Charley, as he rode up, *
don tsse but we're the first ones out this
morning. What sends you out so ear
ly?"
I've got small note against man, a
bout ten miles out here, who Is rather
"sIow,' and I'm going to give him Jog
was fhe reply.
They trotted along, and Charley made
out to inform him that be was going the
same way, but that his business was to
subpoena witness, a meachant Of Tn.
As they drew up before the store of this
country merchant, Charley carelesSly
threw to his companion the rclns OF biS
horse, requesting him to "Just hold them
fast" until he ran in and served his sub
pmna. He waited patiently, until Char
lev came out, and in turn asked him to
hold his horse, as he believed the mer-
chant could tell, him where the maker of
the note lived, Going into the store, be
inquired if they had not a quantity Of
dried plums.
"Tes," said the merchant, "bus I've
just sold them all to a young man, aud
have got his money"
"What! To my friend out there!'

''Thon I'm sold too, said he, leaving
the store.

4 Partisan Sketch.

/ A friend living in the Fanbourg du
Temple went out at a late bour of i win
ter evening, to take a pistol without
lock to the gunsmiths.
Turning the corner of the canal, he was
stopped By man of ferocious aspect, who
demanded his life or bis purse. 1t is re-

similar predicament, by a pun; our
friend adopted the readiest plan Of taking
the pistol from his pocket and placing it
on the highwayman's breast
"Follow me to the next guard house, or
I'll pull the trigger he exclaimed.
As it was dark, the robber did not per-

"And so have l."

"Neither am l. Come, it is late, and
rather cold by the water side. March
or shall fire."
The robber was obliged to follow our
friend to the gaurd house. They arrived
there just as a patrol came in. Our
friend related his history. The rober
was examined, and discovered to be an
escaped convict, of whom the police had
been for long time in search.
Our friend was duly congratulated up
on his presence of mind and the energy
he had displayed.
,'But," added the officer in command,

cesslty OF bringing an action against you

"Becau5e it appears from your own a

During the contest in the Senate on
tho night of the passage of the Nebraska
bill, eulogium upon slavery was given
by Mr.. Badger, of North Carolina, and
referring to the affection which existed
between master and slave, he mentioned
his old "mammy,' the negro woman who
had nursed him, and complained that If
slavery should be excluded from Nebras-
ka, he could not carry this old negro wo-
man with him if he went there. To this
Mr.. Wade, of Ohio, replied, that he knew
of nothing to prevent the Senator from
taking his nanny" with him to Ne
braska, except that he co7l2,iHt sell her

all his readiness at repartee, was quite
non-plussed at this reply, and quietly
