,I WOULD NOT LIVE FOREVER"

IT WOULD NOT LIVE FOREVER"
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.
would not live forever;
No, "blow me-" if would!
Where "fancy men" can't manage things
ssAs once they used to could"
Now, when I was youngster,
The old folks used to think S
There was no harm in every man
Taking social drink.
But sentiments have altered,
In these degenerate days."
And ev'rything and ev'ry body
Have got contrary ways.
And they would make us mortals, here,
Our favorite drinks discard;
And make US quaf their 1cdter, soft,
For fear we'd drink too hard.
would not live forever,
In this dark world of sin;
Where people seem to take q pride
Z In taking each other in.
And if stranger stares about,
With eyes out Of his sockets,
He's sure to pick some straggler up
Who's sure to pick his pockets.
Then, who would live upon this sphere
With such motley crew,
Who seem as if no work they had
But thatof watching you?
Not I, for one; and think that all,
From such, would like to sever;
And join in saying, would not live
Upon this earth forever.

HAVE You WATER IN Your STocK
YARD.-If not, listen to advice, and if it is
possible, introduce it-eithcr set ram or q
windmill, or one self-acting wells; or lay a
pipe from spring on the hill; or throw a
dam across the brook and lay pipe from
that-some how or other manage to have
flowing water and plenty of it, so as not to
drive your stock to the brook, or have to
pump, or tur7 : crank half a day to draw
water for thvm. One has no idea of the con-
venience till lie has tried it. Sit down and
make an estimate of the time it takes in four
months to draw water for forty head of stock,
or to lead or drive them an eighth of mile
to water, and our word for it, the water will
come in a pipe if there is any such thing
So says the Homestead, and so say we.

The CLERICAL KIss.-Quite different
but not less satisfactory experience of Doml
ME Brown. He had reached the mature
age of fve-and forty, without ever having ia
ken part in this pleasant exercise.
One of his deacons had very charming
daughter, and for year or two the Dominic
found it very pleasant to call upon her three
or four times a week. In fact, all the neigh
bors said he was courting her, and very like
ly he was, though he had not the slightest
suspicion of it himself.
One Monday evening he was sitting as
usual by her, when sudden idea popped
into his head.
Miss Mary said he, 'Pve known you a
long time, and I never thought of such
thing before; but now would like you tc
give me KISS. Will your
well, Mr.. Brown replied she, arching
her lips in tempting way, 'if you think ii
would not be wrong, have no objections.
sLet us ask blessing first said the good
man, closing his eyes and folding his hands:
sFor what we are about to receive, the Lord
make US thankful
The chaste salute was then given and
warmly returned.
sOh, Mary, that was good, let us have
another and return thanks
Mary did not refuse; and when the ope'
ration had been repeated, the Dominic ejac'
ulated in transport Of joy:
sFor the comforts which we have now en-
joyed, the Lord be praised, and may they
be sanctifed to our temporal and eternal
good
History says that the fervent petition Of
the honest Dominic was duly answered; tor
in less than month Mary became Mrs
Brown.

MICHIGAN PoETRY.-No one who reads
the following can deny that the Wolverines
have POLK in their midst. The Adrian
Watchtower has been favored with PoAAI
entitled The Souls Last Sight, which con-
tains the history of young lady who be-
came enamored of certain John Smith,
who was faithful until he heard of certain
former dow least fame living in York State
when it appears he took the steamboat line
to pay visit before yielding himself up to
his engagements. Lucy, cast down by this
apparent desertion, thus gives vent to her
grief -
He's gone! across the sudzy see;
He's crost the lakey waiter!
To sea Jerushey Anytime;
Ben. Smither's oldest dawter.
Mi heart is broak I soon shall di,
Oh cruel, cruel John
And when I'm ded and betrayed
Ihoap you'll look upon
The gras that grose upon my tune,
Down in the woods so dark,
Where all is sad and silent gume
And streekid skwirrels bark.
And when your out at mite as late
AS eleven o'clock or later,
And heer the wind whine through the tall topped
pine,
Oh :! think Nv Lucy Baker
And eff ye marry that Jerushey
Yuve crost tie laix to get,
Remember that yure deerist Lucy
Died in konsekwence Nv it.

DETAILS BY THE PERsIA.-The most impor-
tant item of news is the satisfactory close of
the Paris Conferences. On Tuesday, at the
Hotel of Foreign Affairs, the protocols were
read, and copies of the same provided for the
respective ENJOYS. The principle features
are
|. Russia gives up the disputed Bolgrad.
2. Renounces the pretensous to the Ser
pents' Island.
3. Agrees that the delta of the Danube is
to be under the protection of Turkey.
GAS an acknowledgment" says the Morn
ing Posts correspondent, ''of the eOncilatory
spirit thus exhibited in the withdrawal from
her original pretensions, Russia gets large
slip of land, which new boundary line will
infinitely determine. The commission, there.
fore, whose labors had been suspended when
the late difficulties arose, will be ordered inn
mediately to complete their work according to
the new contract, as expressed 10 the protocol
1t will then become necessary for Russia to
release the subjects of those districts she will
no longer possess from allegiance to the crown.
This must be done by public proclamation.
Immediately after, the Austrian troops, as
agreed, will leave the Danubian Principalities
and the British squadron will retire from the
Black Sea. The short delay which occurred in
the meeting of the Conference probably ORR
ginsted in the final arrangement of this ques-
lion, viz : at what period the evacuation of
Turkish territory and waters was to take
place.
