But no pic mics, or parties, or concert for me,
Such trash on a pa6or : aoeer did sec,
Then anice young man with canc and moustach
Who certainly think he is cutting dash,
Looks o,cr the list of plays and soirees,
As if yainly trying his fancy to please,
In theatres, In races,
Circuses, And chases,
Operas, In banquets,
Balls, And CALI.
And finally wonders what editors mean,
by printing a paper not fit to be seen.
Sentimental young lady next picks up the paper
And reads by the lghtof dim burning taper,
And wonders iflipcs addressed to Miss Eolla
We're not written TO her by some clever young
fellow,
Whose pretty and witty, learned and wise,
But she stops in alarm at the dark hale eyes
For hcr's are deep blue,
What a pity, It's true.
And now Ar. Editor,
lis all blamed on you.
What speeches, And having,
And Sermons, And jawing,
And news, Ana clawing,
by dispatch, To mach;
But no sketches or tales that can see,
What kind OF man must the editor Ue?
Next grave politician who with dignity gIows
Adjusts his gold spcctacles over his hose,
Takes a huge pin5h otsnuir before he proceeds,
Then opens the papes and lliiurely reads
OF breaches, OF Senate,
And speeches, OF House
And foreign OF railways
Reports And courts,
And say ha rrads that last column of n ar
What strange kind ofleople these editors are,
These rhymes and love stories 10 pun;
If 'twould DO them any good, I'd give a hint.
Now prime old maid, the paper espics,
And holding it carefully off from her eyes,
And frequently uttering ''la ~ and do tell ~
She manages some way to read very well
The marriages, The robberics,
Accidents, And murders,
Suicides, All in
Deaths, 4 breath,
And finishing, wonder what sort of blunder,
The whole Of the community must be under,
To support paper whose print is SO small,
She wonders how some people read it nj all.
Next, and angry contributor, eager for fame,
Pn ruined !sir, ruined-my success, sir, is oel
50 many mistakes were never heard Z, I before!
Look here at the sonnet addressed to my lady
You've madeit n bonnet and dress for s.baby. +.
Don't talk Of my writing aid say it was that,
You're an editor, sr, but no geut-that's fat.
The farmer complains his crops are neglected,
| While 50 much times spent guessing who's
elected,
The minister says it should be more sedate,
And not SO much wasted Oh matters Of State.
And thousand other complaints make known,
Which tire editors back Is to hear all alone,
But the worst Oft is, they all join in saying
Soch paper as this can print without paying.

The Spring Elections,
REPUBLICAN, VICTORIES!

The Dred Scott decision (says the
Pittsburgh Gazete) was to be the ''fu
neral sermon of Black Republicanism,"
and to restore peace to the distracted
country by leading to democratic tri.
umphs in every State in the Union
But where are the triumphs The
Spring elections are now over, but where,
in all of them has the administration sue
ceeded?
hew Hampshire was the first to res
pond to the Inaugural and the Dred Scott
decision. and she gave an overwhelming
Republican majority.
Rhode Island followed on the same
side.
Connecticut has also elected the whole
Republican ticket.
Michigan has just elected the Republi-
can nominees for judges of her Supreme
Court by 10000 majority, and the Judg-
es elected in the Circuit, are of the same
stripe.
Wisconsin has reelected, by an equal
ly decisive majority, Judge Wilton to
the Supreme Bench, the Buchanan party
having contested the election with him on
the basis of the Dred Scott decision.
If we leave States and come down to
cites, the administration has been equal
ly luckless. Cincinnati, which last year
gave Buchanan over 5000 majority, has
just elected N. w. Thomas, the Republi.
can candidate for Mayor. by 269 MAORI
ty; Toledo, Ohio. which gave Buchanan
644 majority. has elected the whole op-
position ticket; Columbus, Ohio, which
also gave Buchanan majority, has also
elected Republican Mayor; and Milwau
kie, which gave Buchanan an overwhelm.
ing majority, has just defeated the Ad
ministration Charter ticket. The one soil
tary spot in which the BUCCANEERS car
chronicle success, is Cleveland, aud i
would be pity not to leave them one
spot for consolation.
Iowa also held an election on The
9th, and we have no doubt it resulted ir
republican triumph, although we arr
without returns.
But the grandest triumph of all is il
St. Louis. Here, in spite Of Colonel Ben
toms efforts to defeat those who Tough
