BACON And GREENS.
BY GREEN PEAS BACON, ESQ.,, q. B.

have lived long enough to be rarely mistaken,
And bore my full share of lifes changeable
scenes,
But my woes have been solaccd by good greens and
bacon,
And my joys have been doubled by bacon and
greens,
Fol dc ri do-bacon and green's.
With thrill of remembrance cen now they awake,
OF chidhood's gay morning. and youths merry
scenes,
When one day We had greens, and plate full of
bacon,
And the next we had bacon and plate full of
greens.
Ah! we'll remember, when sad and forsaken,
Heart wrung by the scorn Of a Miss in her teens,
How Irushei from her sight tony loved greens and
bacon,
And forgot my despair over bacor and greens.
When the banks refused specie and credit wa. slla-
ken.
shared in the wreck, and ruined in means;
Ny friends all declared had not saved my ba-
CON-"
But they licd-for I still had my bacon and
greens.
Oh there is charm in this dish, rightly taken,
That from custards and jellics the epicure weans;
Stick your fork in the fat-wrap your green's round
the bacon,
And you'll vow there is nothing like bacan and
green's.
If some fairy grant Of three wishes would make
one,
80 worthless as l, and so laden with sins.
I'd wish all the greens in the world-tllen the ba-
con,
And then wish for little more bacon and greens.
P. g. turn to confess that for once I'm mistaken,
As much AZ I've known of this world and its
scenes;
There's one thing that's equal to both greens and
bacon,
And that is dish of good-baeo, and greens.

to show the existence of want above eat
ing and drinking. The soul necessarily
grows small under the dull pressure of
life like this. 1t is life contemplate and
unworthy in every respect in which it may
be regarded. If this unmindtuness OF conf
fort aud the polite amenities life, were the
result of simple Indifference, the case would
be more hopeful bat there largely prevails
degree of contempt for these things, which
proves that perverted notions have become
inbred and well nigh ineradicable. Many
farmer whom we know, holds in the utmost
scorn all show of polite life. The man who
talks bluntly, and helps himself at table
without show of bashfulness, and holds the
parlor in contempt, and turns up his nose at
flowers and rejoices in the thickness of skin
upon his hands, and isn't "stuck up" is the
popular man. What wonder is it that boy
brought up i'll this way. ~ho accidently gets
sight during absence at school, or on Wis
it, of different and more exalted kind Of
life, should leave the farm, for other pursuits
and places as soon as possible?
We love the life of a true man who is
true farmer, His lot is the noblest and
sweetest-the most free from sickness and
care that falls to mortals. But this stereo
typed talk about the desirableness of a far
mer's life, as it prevails in most localities, is
the veriest CANNON ever uttered. The far
mer should be gentleman. Some of them
nay, many in the aggreggate-arc gentle.
.nen-and they make the noblcst article OF
the kind we have. There is nothing in the
farmers profession that should make him
awkward aud booriSh in the least We
trust that the young men now coming upon
the stage will be something more than druid
ges-men who will take position in society
men who will delight to make their homes
beautiful and comfortable, and who will DO
their share to throw the charm around the
farmers life which belongs to it-comtort,
convenience, beauty, taste-the charm which
shall make the life attractive to those who
are bred in it, and which will secure for it the
talent which now seeks more congenial at
mospherc in other felds-SpramGteld Re-

tired; how radiant are those eyes that have
no imperial bubbles to fash rival splendor,
on the honest admiration of a simple-hcar
ted, true minded gentleman. A rosebud
in the bosom, a simple flower on ehaste,
brow, dainty shawl, with colors that do
not blush at their own price, with robe
whose mysterious undulations teach US to
look upon the wearer as being of perfected
taste, and of more perfected modesty, and
how our hearts yearn towards her, as we
feel that she is woman, not doll; wife,
not firt; maid, not decked temptation
"a wife, who guards her husbands credit
in the Exchange, as she guards his honor in
his home; maid, whose whole department
signals her as fit companion for life, of an
upright and conscientious man. A compan-
ion without wish for liveries, without a
sigh for foreign whiskers, or foreign dances
of corrupting intoxication in halls lit with
gases, whose light iIlumes the haggard faith
er's face, when he reflects that on the NOR
row, as he reaches his place of Industrious
toll, the price of all this will be presented
to him, in bill that will brake his credit,
and toss him upon the shore of legitimate
commerce, broken wreck, rudderless and
ruined,

THE CRIME OF FASHION.

The editor of Portcr's Spirit is a great
fellow, and though he encourages gaming
and sporting rather stronger than we could
wish any one to do, yet he does the thing up
brown sometimes, and strikes our fancy ex-
actly. Under the above caption he let of
against extravaganza in style well calcula-
ted to hit efiectually the sin at which the
blow is dealt. After reading that we shall
have better opinion of the esprit" than
ever. He says
1t is not all singular that the daily press
is beginning to overhaul the extravaganza Of
city life.
We, too, claim our right to discuss this
all.important subject, and raise our voice in
vindication of good taste, and modest ex-
penditure. 1t may happen, that we may in.
wade the established monarchy of Fashion,
but we are too well acquainted with the
True and the Beautiful, to hesitate in what
we conceive to be manly duty, and so we
place ourselves in the lists, and will splinter
lance, not against the sex that appears the
most guilty, but against the error of judy
ment, that is running into licentiousness.
From our window that overlooks the great
Broadway, we have constantly before our
eyes the theme of our discourse. 1t rolls
along in one steady column of waste and
want, of wealth and witchery. In coaches,
glittering with bold essaye at foreign livery !;
on foot, in broad balloons, that vie with tile
vast silken globes of the Hippodrome; in
shawls that eclipse the tints of the rainbow,
and for whose value, the British East India
Company in the days of Warren Hastings,
would have gone into war against regi-
ment of Native Princes. We will not say
sup town." but speaking generally, We will
assert, that in this city, expense is running
before income, is sought after in channels,
that too often find their source in fraud, and
find their issue where crime is welded to
punishment, and punishment to perpetual
infamy.
In and out of the doorways OF the great
silken and fur stores flows tide of wives
and daughters. In and out of the tempting
doorways of the golconda jewelry establish.
mcnts, where diamonds glitter with more
in their pendant glory, than the
spple in the garden of Paradise, the crowds
pass in and out, and the spirit of rivalry,
alone, is visible in their flushed faces; the
spirit to surpass each other in the show of
ewelIed bracelets, of gorgeous pins, Of ca
meous of fabulous price, and bills of de-
structive items.

PRACTICAL GOOD SENSE.

1t is related that an Athenian, who hesita-
ting whether to give his daugter in marriage
to man of worth with small fortune, or
to rich man, who had no other recommen-
dation, went to consult Themistocles on the
subject. The philosopher, in the spirit OF
true wisdom, said, 81 would bestow my
daughter upon man without money, rather
than upon money without man." Maria
ges for money seldom conduce to social
comfort and happiness, and often result in
the utter destruction of domestic peace, in
elimination, GOODNESS, and estrangement.
And vet the love of money is seldom man.
ifest in greater strength than in the forIna-
ton of those lifelong alliances where the
parties bind themselves to Z" take each other
for better or Tor worse" and give their mu-
tual pledge TO stand by and aid each other
amid all the storms and privations and per-
lis of life. Those parents who are chiefly
anxious to have their daughters to marry
fortune, who value money more than char
acter, integrity, enterprise and correct hab-
its, will in most cases, lament their short
sightedncss, infatuation and folly. There is
happiness in cottage where virtue, intelli-
gelce and kindness dwell. A palace will
not yield it in the absence of these. 1t is
not those families where there is the great
est protusion of wealth, who are most to be
envied. In many splendid mansion there
are aching hearts, disappointed hopes, caro-
ding cares, and scalding tears. Let us not
be misunderstood We are not deprecia-
ting or decrying wealth. 1t confers and Sc
cures many advantages. 1t gives to is pos
SCISSORS influence, position and power
"Catris paribus, as we were taught in our
school-boy days to say, other things being
quail, it is desirable, highly beneficial, and
eminently comfortable. But it is not worth
sacrificing domestic peace to possess tit
is not worth enduring the strife of tongues
it is not worth the lifelong reproach,

4 FEW THINGS THAT A LADY HAS NO PATIENCE
WITH,

She has no patience with men who 60 and
spend their money on dinners at Richmond
or Greenwich, when their poor wives are
obliged to content themselves with a simple
mutton chop at home.
She has no patience with servants who
dress their hair in ringlets, or wear pretty
little EScnch caps with gay ribbons, or sail
about the house with the same number of
flowers as their mistress, or blow themselves
out with India rubber hoops, or stand Of an
evening tanning themselves at the area gate.
She has no patience with gentlemen who
come into dinner an hour after their time
and expect the dinner to be on the table the
very moment they come in.
She has no patience with Customhouse
officers who rummage your boxes as though
they were a servants, and they were police.
men who had been sent to examine them,
and who pull your summer dresses out, and
rumple your linen with no more concern
than washerwoman would who was going
to carry them to the wash.
She has 10 patience with persons who
find fault with their children because they
make little noise, and say they cannot
sleep on account of the racket the baby
makes during the night; just as if they
hadn't been babies themselves once in their
lives.
She has no patience with men who indulge
in personalities and absurd railleries against
the female sex, and fancy themselves ex-
tremely clever in saying smart things when
they are only supremely ridiculous.
She has no patience with ridiculous old
maids appearing in low dresses and giving
themselves all the mincing airs and tiniken
graces of young beauties.
She has no patience with young men and
little "chits" OF boys, who 60 to evening
parties and will not dance, because "they're
getting too old for that sort Of thing"
She has no patience with stuckup, vulgar
individuals who contradict her and pretend,
in their arrogance, to know so much better
than she does.
She has no patience with your fine gen.
tlemen who, when they hurt your feelings
make you beautiful promises about taking
you to the opera, or to Paris, or tour up
the Rhine, and after the storm has blown
over, forget everything about it.-Panch's
Poke! Book.

THE FARMER and his HOME.

1t has always been matter Of wonder to
US that the farmer should care so little for
himself, the members of his family, and his
home-that he should hold tasteful and beau
tiful things IN contemplated he can abide
nothing which is not useful, according to his
idea of usefulness, and that he should sacri-
fec comfort evermore to cash. The large
majority of farmers have but two tests by
which to try men and things: can they work
ARE useful? They bring up their boys
and girls with the idea that work is the great
thiny-the more work a boy or girl can
do, the higher they rise in the scale of ex
cellence. When they marry, they must
marry a girl who can work. II she is
every smart" she is considered prize.
The prevalent fancy is particularly pleased
if she has been known to lift a 6ve-pai ket-
tic from the fires and get out large washing
before breakfast. 1t is all work, work,
work-nothing but work. She commences
her life ambitiously, determined to be as
smart as her neighbors, does everything
about her house, herself, bears children,
takes care of them, and actually wears out
her life with work, and, after death lives in
the memory of her friends as woman who
was "mighty smart at work in her day.
A farmers home is rarely beautiful and
tasteful in its externals So almost univer-
sally is this the case, that when an instance
is found it is the theme of unwonted delight,
and the cause of special remark. The barn
very likely fronts the house across the street
Carts and wagons stand upon ground
which should be occupied by shade trees.
There is no door;yard. There are no flow.
ers. Everything is for use-everything sug.
yests work. and work only. There is no in.
