The following verses on Richard l., of Eng

They represent him a. he is represented in
some of the lays and 5ests of the thirteenth
and fourteenth centuries sort of dare devil
companion, believed to eat little children and
the heads of Saracens. No doubt he was a
hard going soldier, with more animal courage
than kingly or ehivalric dignity, but the fol.
lowing Is burlesque. Scott, in Ivanhoe and
the Talisman, has doubtless best described
that fighting free and easy Plantagenet, who
was also troubadour.
A ponderous thing was Richards can,
And 50 was Richards boot;
- Ard Ssracens and liquor ran
Where'er he set his foot.
SO fddlne here and fighting there,
Ard numbering time aud tune,
With sturdy limb and hstless air,
Half monarch, half butfoon.
He turned away from feast to fray,
From quarreiing to qusffing;
30 great in prowess and in pranks
So fierce and fiery in the ranks,
That Ssladiu and Sedan said
Wiener that mad cap Richard led
Allah. he held he breath for dread,
And burst his sides with laug ching

GETTING RICH DUTY.-rhe Lowell Mass.
Courier breaches the following doctrine:
Every man owes it to society to become
rich, for the poor mans advice is never heed
ed, let it be ever so valuable. The more
wise one may be, the more he owes it to his
country to become wealthy. Every addition
made to mans fortune adds ten per cent
to his influence. Let man throw doubloon
ON the counter, and every one will want to
hear it ring. Throw cent down, however,
aud its voice would prove no more attractive
than a poor relations.
