The Modern Swell.

The son sits in the barroom,
In place most convenient to stare;
Hes clad in very fine broadclo!h
And his face is covered with hair;
Tie smokes and spits and drinks,
And drinks and smokes and spits;
The saliva he casts from his mouth
Is much more plenty than wits.
His mother goes clad in her cotton,
And faded and ragged at that;
Shcs minus of shawl and bonnet,
But hcr NJ wears AN elegant hat:
She's ,oi!iug and earning the "shilings,"
70 wearied'y night aud day,
While he ut the theatre nnd tavern,
Is throwing them all away
He never gets up in the morning;
II his mother calls him at noon,
!, lie comes down cursing and swearing
Because she called him SO soon
His eyes arc sunkon and rcd,
His checks are hollow and thin--
Caused by last nights dcbauchcrics,
And indulging too freely in gin.
re sits down To his breakfast,
And then finds fault with the bash,
His mother says, the grease IL needs
You used to oil your moustachc I"
a. this he flies in passion,
And hastily leaves the room,
To tho tavern he bends his footsteps,
And with wine dispols his gloom.
From his vest there bangles seal
That is set w!tha br'lliant rcd stone
But the sparkling toy is only wax.
Though this ho never will own;
On his feet arc patent CATERS.
On his mothers there arc none,
For ali her honest earnings
Bedeck tho back Of her son.
Az length hc marrics lady
Who's as rich rs he thinks Shea fair,
But nc finds her, in truth, as poor as himself
And then he gives up in despair;
Two cheats make an even bargain
Both are we'll ipated for life
Shc thought she had got rich husband,
He thought he had 20, rich wife.

OCEAN TELrGRArH,-rh following, from
tho Washington Star, would lead us to believe
that tho gigantic scheme of directly connect
ing Europe and America by telegraph will yet
be realized:
II may not be generally known that Profcs.
sor Morse, the distinguished american tcle-
gIaph patcutce, has for some time been pursu.
INK Investigations with view To the adoption
OF his patent for telegraph between Europe
aud America. In the course of this labor he
has taken occasion to address Prof (Licut u.
s ny Maury, TO ascertain whether, ail other
difficulties being overcome the bottom Of the
ocean, which the professor has sounded in di.
root lines across, (bciwocn the two contincnts)
were not of sGch nature rs 10 render il prob
able that tho CO Wunicaion could not thus be
maintained " hcar that in reply, Mr.. NJ
Rays that between ,hc north point OF New
Foundand snd the south point of Ireland,
where the distance acroas is shortest some
l.GOo miles only--lho bottom Is in all respects
perfectly regular plateau, MS though designed
icr the successful laying down of such work.
lie adds that there Is no current there what
ever the water on the bottom heing always
still; and further, that the apparatus, il laid
down on that line, win rcst on very shelly
matter, which cannot abrsdo IL iIuriou sis. -.
In s,rt ,it- so Gar as those elements IN u,e
en,prn - sfa concerned, Prof Morse will find
ther, lt esa desire Such. we hear, is the
substancJ Of what Lieut.. Ma,try has written
upon ,hc project.
