HACoN AND GREENS.

I
I have lived long enough to be rarely mistaken,
And Loruc my full share Of life's changcab!c
But my woes have been solaced by good greens and
bacon,
And my joys have been doubled by bacon and
greens.
Fol de ri do-bacon and greens.
With thrill of remembrance cen now they awake,
OF childhood's gay morning, and youths merry
scenes, . ..a. .rz.- -
When ono day we had greens, and plate full Of
| bacon, sa -
And the next we had bacon and plate full of
greens.
Ah we'll remember, when sad and forsakcn,
Heart wrung by the scorn of Miss in her teens,
How rushed from her sight, to my loved greens
and bacon,
And forgot my despair over bacon and greens.
When the banks refused specie and credit was
shaken,
I shared in the wreck, and ruined in MEANS
My friends all declared had not "saVed my b.
| CON-"
But they lied-for still had my bacon and
greens.
Oh! there is charm in this dish, rightly taken,
That from custards and jellies the epicure
wcans;
Stick your fork in the fat-wrap your greens
round the bacon,
And you'll VOW there is nothing like bacon and
greens.
Ii some fairy grant of three wishes would make
one, ..-.....
So worthless as I, and so laden with sins,
I'd wish NIL the greens in the world-thcn the ba'
con,
And then wish for little more bacon and greens
P. S. turn to confess that for once I'm mistaken
As much as I've known of this world and its
| scenes; 49, ,..-.s
There's one thing that's equal to both greens anc
bacon,
And that is dish of good-Jacon and green's

THE TIDE OF DEATH.

BY HON. R. NJ. CHARLTON.
The tide rolls on, the tide rolls on
The never ccas;ng tide,
That sweeps the pleasure from our hearts,
Z" The loved one from our side
That brings Affections to our lot,
And anguish and despair,
And bears from youths unrufficd brow,
The charms that fingered there.
The tide rolls on-wave after wave,
It's swelling waters flow;
Before it all is bright and fair,
Behind it all is woe!
The infant from its mothers breast,
The gay and blooming bride,
Are swept away and borne along
By that resistless tide.
The tide rolls on-the soldiers eye
Grows dim beneath its swell?
The scholar shdns the mystic lore
That he has loved so well;
The monarch puts the crown aside,
And labor's weary slave,
Reioices that his limbs will know
The quiet of the grave.
The tide rolls on-like summer brook
It glideth to the sad
But like dark winters angry tide
1t rushes to the glad,
From kingly hall and lowly cot,
From battle field and hearth,
1t sweeps into oblivion's sea. -
The dwellers on the earth.
Roll on, thou dark and turbid wave,
Thou cans't not bear away
The record Of the good and brave,
That knoweth not decay.
Though fierce may rush thy billows STRIFE
Though deep thy current be,
Still faith shall lift her beacon high
And guide US through the sea.

A COOP ONE.-Dr: Magoon, recently in
a lecture on "NIind your Business" tells the
following good one: ..
A young man went from New York City to
the West, where he commenced business on
his own account, and married. His friends in
the city were interested in his welfare, and
when merchant was about to journey to the
place where the young man had located, he
was requested to visit the emigrant, and as
certain how he lived, what sort Of wife he
had chosen, his prospects, &c. Accordingly
the New Yorker asccrtained the residence of
his young friend, and called upon him quite
early in the morning. He found him in a
small, neat cottage, and just taking his break
fast. The introduction of the New Yorker
to his wife was quite off-hand and unceremo-
nicus, and he was requested to be seated;
and partake of the morning meal. The young
wife had prepared the steak, biscuit and cof-
fee with her own hands, and for a table had
used her kneading..board, over which nap
kin was spread, and the "board' placed on
her lap. The New Yorker declined seat
at table, and took his leave. On making his
report to his New York friends as to how he
found his young friend living, he described
the style as "magnifcent"- "-and for expla-
nation of the superlative he said, that were
he the owner of that young mans furniture,
he would not take ten thousand dollars for
the legs of his table!

PUFF EXTRAoRDINARY.-One of our
Pennsylvania exchanges thus sets forth the
virtues of certain nostrum: "It is re-
markable fact, and one which hspeaks volumes
for Professor Reeds Magnetic Oil, that du.
ring all the intensely cold weather of the
present winter, he has not been obliged to
purchase single load of fuel. This is ac-
counted for by the fact that so many patients
visited him on crutches, who being cured on
sight, left those disagreeable appendages be,
hind, and the accumulation was so great,
when the cold snap came on, that when cut
up, the Professor found that he had near
two cords of good 6rewood in his vault"

a@ Mrs. Partington says that just before
the last war with England, circumstances
were seen around the moon nightly, shoot
ing stars peramburlated the earth, the desk
of the sun was covered with black spots of
ink, and comics swept the horizon with their
operic tails. Everybody said it prof6gated
war, and sure enough it did come. It's Co.'S
tiveness was felt through the land, but the
bravery of General Jackson expiated the
American citizens, and foreign domino soon
became by-word!

GEN. HoUsToN's Prescription TO A
"BoRE."-Amongth guests at the st. Mich
olas during the past week, was Gen. Sam
Houston, of Texas. Gen. Houston is, as all
his acquaintances we'll know, fond of mirth
and fun, and in short is what Doesticks would
call P. B.-perfect brick. The General
however, entertained an intense hatred tor
that species of human beings called CHORES. "
One of these gentry, good natured but soft
headed chap, regular button-holder, cor
nered him the other day at his hotel. He
had managed to be introduced to him by a
gentleman the day previous.
"Geueral," said the bore, after he had
bothered Mr.. Houston out of all patience,
III wish you would do me one more favor. A
man of your cminence is so competent"
"Well, what is it?" inquired Mr.. Hous'
ton, rather curtly."
"Well," you see, Mr.. Houston, you are
such an eminent man, such a.
"Never mind that; what do you want to
know?"
"Excuse me, but a person of your ablll'
ties and distinction must be AWARE
81 am somewhat in haste," interrupted the
badgered senator-"pray come to the point
at once"
"Well, then, give me the secret of your
success in life, how you rose in position as
you have done"
"Ah! but that wouldn't benefit you any
can tell you how you can rise in the world
ifyou wish"
"That's just it," was the reply-'jus'
what 1 was trying to get at"
"Well, sir, I'll tell you. Undertake tf
approach o sore-headed bull with red scarf
on your neck. I'll guarantee your upward
progress Immediately on the completion o.
the experiment" -.
The button holder collapsed, showed Ms
hat on his head and walked sorrowfully a
way, while cluster Of gentlemen near BY
who had overheard the conversation, fairly
screamed with laughter.
