And dream again Of bygone youth,
When chillhooa's hour unknown to pain,

Could greet me az it did Of yorei

And wander back to childhood's hours,
And live once more each happy day,
And wreath my brow with sunny flowers.
IT'S vain, alas! those years to mourn,
Or weep the joys forever fed!
Days Of my youth, how have you fownl
And left my heart all cold and dead
But, o, bright scenes, how can the mind
Blot out The memory Of those years,
When playing in the summer wind
! knew no sadness, knew no tearsl

To sit once more meath messy tree,
When all the heart then knew of pain,
Was laughed away in childish glee,
When every song the fitting bird
Sang in the green and wavy grove,
Danced thro' my heart, as fondly heard,
And wakened only happy love.

Boz WANTKB.-What are we to do for
boyss When we were boy, there were
lots of boys, but they have grown scarce,
until there is hardly boy left. As we
walk through the streets we read in shep
windows, hoy wanted" When we pick
up newspaper, the first advertisement
that strikes our eve is-"A boy wan-
ted" In word. everybody wants q
boy.
Now, in view Of the grand scarcity OF
boys, what arc we TO do for a substance
to light our fires, TO sweep our rooms
and TO run our errands2
The other day q little fellow about
fourteen years Of age, begging his par
don, we took him for boy,) applied 20
us for situation.
What can yol dos" we inquired.
"a little OF almost everything Vss
the reply.
,"Are you quica at errandsa'
We'll, sir, don't much like to do e.,
rands."
Can you sweep and DUST welil"
why, Sir, young men don't sweep
and dust any nowadays. The women
folks moDopolize that branch Of business.

He was going to say isn't genteel, bul
he hesitated to state The conviction.
"How will yca axe yourself lsefu!z

"And how much do you ask for th
service 2"
I'm the neigbsrhocd of three dollars" q"

Eyes, SIR
What do mean by the neighbcr-
hood!"
Simply, three dollars "A trifle more
or less"
"And you can neither sweep nor run
of errands?"
"Oh, "a little ve1ed) l could, but"
"But what?"
ut amt exactly the thing"
"Yet at your age, We"
"Dqmme, SIR" picking up his hat and
striding towards the door, ''you don't
take me for boy, do youa"
Amused, but not astonished, We asked
ourself the question-whst are We to do
for boys2
If some enterprising Yankee world un-
dertake to get up lot Of boys, he would
make large fortune in . short time, for
never within our recollection have boys
been in such demand.

STATISTICS OF OLD AGE-The census
of 1850 shows us that the oldest person
then living in the United States was l4O.
This person was an Indian woman re-
siding in North Carolina. In the same
State was An Indian aged lbs, q negro
woman Ill, two black females Ito each,
one mulatto male LOO, and several white
males and females aged from LOG to Ia.
In the parish of Lafayette, La, was .
female, black, aged 126. In several Of
the States there were found persons,
white and black, aged from Ito to lis.
There were in the United States in 1850,
1855 persons over 100 years. This
shows that about one person in 5000
will be likely to live to that age. There
are now about 20 900 persons in the
United States who were living when the
Declaration of Independence was signed
In l776. They must necessarily be near
80 years old now in order to have lived
at that time. The French census of
1851 shows only l02 persons over 100
years old, though their total population
was near 26, 200, 900. Old age is, there
fore, attained among us much more fire.

with o great deal of seeming reluctapo.

with great deal of seeming reluctance
az marrying one Of common blood, her
highness consented to take him. Now
was Mr Car.etOn the husband of q prin-
cess. But, alas! how was be surprised
when MIR. King presented him with the
following letter:
"SIR: | Am an, entire stranger to your
person, yet common justice obliges rue
give you notice that the pretended prin-
cess, who has just passed herself upon
your brother, Mr.. John Carleton, is a
cheat and an impostor. III I tell You. sir.
that she has already married several men
In our county of Kent, and afterwards
made on with all the money she could
get into her hands, l say no more than
can be proved, were she brought to the
face ofjustice. That you may oe certain
| am not mistaken in the woman, please
to observe that she mas very high breasts,
a very graceful appe Arance, and speaks
several languages huuntly.
Your unknown, TR."
pom this, of course a separation en-
sued. And after Mrs. Carleton had got
nd of her husband, and of the prosecution
for marrying him, she was entertained
by the players, who were in hopes of
gaining by woman who had made such
a considerable figure on the real stage of
life. One of the theaters was very much
resorted to on her account, and she got q
great deal Of applause in her dramatical
capacity, by the several characters she
performed, which were generally either
jilt, coquette, or chamber maid, either
of which were agreeable to her intriguing
genius: but what contributed most to
her fame was play, written purely ON
her account, called the German Princess,
in which she performed the principal
part, besides speaking the epilogue.
Her career ended at length, after q
succession Of adventures, ever increasing
in audacity, by being executed at Ty-
burn 1873, at the age of SO, for returning
from Jamaica, whittier she had been
transported for robbery.
