DEBORAH LEE-A PARODY.

From the sublime snd beautiful the ridiculous o
truth, there Is but one step Who that has read PoEa
Annabel Lee will doubt it after peru
ing the following -s-.
IT'S dream or Of years ago,
Somewhere In the west countrce,
That nice girl lived-as the Hoosiees know
by the name Of Deborsh Lee; =.
Her sister was loved by Edgar Poe,
But Deborah BY me
Now was green and she was green
A. a suumcr-squash might be;
But we loved warmly as others loved,
I and my DebOr all Lee;
With love that the lassies Of Hoosierdom
Coveted her and me.
But somehow it happened long ago,
In the aguish west cuuntree,
That chill March morning gave "the shakes
To my beautiful Deborah Lee;
And the grim Steam Doctor Course him y came
Aud bore her away from me;
Tie Doctor and Death-old partners they
In the aguish west countree.
The Angels wanted her up in Heaven,
(Dut they never asked for me
And that is the reason, ! rather guess,
In the aguish west countree,
That the cold March wind and the Doctor and Death,
Took of my Deborah Lee,
Ny beautiful Deborah Lee;
From the warm sunshine ana the opening uo"e's'
And hid her away from ME.
Our love was strong as six-horse team,
Or the love OF the folks older thaa We,
And possibly wiser than We,
But Death with the aid Of the Doctor aoo S'ea"'
Was rather too many for me
SO he closed the peepers aud stopped tne o'os'n
Ut my sweetheart, Deborah Lee;
And her form lies cold in the prairie mold
Silent and culd-ah, me-!
The feet Of the hunter shall press her grave,
And the prairie's sweet wild flowers
In their odorous beauty around it wave,
Through all the summer hours,
The still, bright summer hours;
And the birds shall sing in the tudted grass,
And the nectzr-ladcn bee
With his dreamy hum On his gauze-whgS paSsj
She wakes more 10 me,
Ny own, my Deborah Lee,
All 10 me!
Though the wild birds sing and the wild spring
She wakes more TO me.
Yet oft in the hush Of the still dim night,
4 vision Of beauty I see,
Gliding soft TO my bedside, \ phantom OF hSnt,
Dear, beautiful Deborah Lee,
Nv bride that was to be;
And wake to sorrow that the Doctor ana Death,
And the cold N arch winds, should stop the breath
OF my darling Deborah Lee,
Adorable Deborah Lee;
That the Angels should want her up IN heaven
Before they wanted me!

STRICT TEMPERANCE MAN

We were accosted the other evening, says
the editor Of a Boston paper, by gentle
manly looking man, evidently balancing a
clever sized brick in his castor.
81 say, IN mis- mister, will you be kind
enough to tell me the way to Broadway?'
"No Broadway here, sir; this is not New
York"
"Oh! ah! yes, that's fact. We'll, beg
your pardon-your pardon-pardon show
me to Fourth street-to Mil-Miller's llo-
tel.'
"Now, you're in Philadelphia, old boy
wrong agaln.'
CHA ha! we'll, Pm dnrn'd confused

whether its left or right take to Holiday
street,"
"That's street that aint got this way yet.
Perhaps you are thinking of the city Of Bal
timore?'
"Well, where the deuce am !, stranger,
any how?'
we told him in Boston.
He iammed his fists into his pocke cts, after
hitting his hat n smash, and stepped out,
observing;
"Well, I'm darn'd If follow this tenn
perance caravan any longer"

DEBUT As A CLOWN.

The newspapers chronicle tho fact, that
tho son of a highly respectable gentleman
in Kentucky has taken to the ring MS clown.
The piebaid adornments Of the horse
harlequin have more attraction for him than
the guise Of respectability. The applause
of the witless crowd, who arc convulscd
with thread-bare and miserable jokes, is of
more value than the good opinion Of friends.
And the rough, unrcfned and low.lif
associations by which be is surrounded, nrc
moro to his taste than the company Of the
polished and educated. The odor Of stale
tan, and the flicker of tallow dips, are
plcasnnter in his nostrils than the atmosphere
Of the drawing room. Bar-room mirth,
and coarse, dirty fun, are henccforth his
enjoymsnts. Such arc the bright features
of his future. The shadows Of his distin-
guished course will be "professioDal jeal-
ousy" and hearty hatreds, dissolute attach
ments and rum riots, infurinted spectators
and mob onslaughts, broken head and
broken hearts; broken fortunes, broken
health, and general bankruptcy, mental,
bodily and pecuniary. The papers say bis
family are "inexpressibly mortified" We
might have guessed that, without the help
of tho journals. Such = reward for the
care and anxieties OF ehrly training may
well make parents mortiGed-evcn to the
death.
But there are other clowns besides those
in the ring. Thousands of ungrateful sons
"make their debut" in rowdyism, without
receiving the distinguished honor Of news
paper announcement. Thousands of paren-
tai hearts are wounded, upon whose unhap-
piness the public prints are silent. Sisters
weep with vexation, and conceal their tears.
1t is some palliation to misery when it is not
public, though it were hard to say what 10
public and what not. Family and friends
are our dearest world, and when in that
cherished circle our grief and shame are not
known, it matters not SO much who, beyond
that, learns our sorrow. Boys will mako
their debut ss clowns, sisters and mothers
blush for then, and fathers almost hate
them, just so long 40 the insipiens steps
towards the customs Of barbarisn are not
merely winked At in youth, but sneeur.

A PLATFOR VI.

The Democratic editor Of the Southern
Star, being sick, has entrusted his paper to
friend, who is an Old Line Wing, and nm
incorrigible Know Nothing. TO guard
against any apprehension that the politics OF
the State will suffer under his administration,
the editor pro tenn, lays down the following
platform:
We are opposed to spirituous, vinous
and malt liquors, with, perhaps, mental
reservation in favor of Scotch ale and sherry
cobblers.
l. We are opposed to patent medicines,
OF whatever nature, from the ''Medicam-
entum Gratia Probatum," down to cdr.
Gehogan's Hyjropiper" Ph@bus what :"
name! } via "Goelick's Ma,chless Sana-
tive"
3. We are in favor Of letting the "Retired
Phvsicinn's sands Of life" run out.
4. We are in favor Of the passage OF an
act declaring the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
navigable to this place.
Lastly-We are in favor Of crinolinc un-
der ali circumstances, except in equestrian
These principles, We believe, do not con-
fict with the political opinions which our
friend has so ably advocated in the columns
Of the Siar,nnd upon his recovery We will
"transmit them unimpaired" to his keep
ing.
