My ancient duieen is all burnt to a cinder,
And boogs are quite thick in this murherin

Sure, Biddy, my girl, it's no joke for ganius
To walk all the day nathe the botherin' hod
And then in the night, s0renade young Vanius,
Clane up to his knees in the muddy ould sod.
I'm dyin' wild rapture, my jewel of cratures,
And niver a lovyer more willingly howled
But don't you let scorn wither up your sweet
futures,
Because your Paddy has got such cowld.
The lightnin' is roarin', the toonder is fashin'
The moon is no bigger than nothin' at all
And such an outrageous and divilish splashin'
never did hear since the days was small.
Thin open the winder, my queen av affection,
Or, what is as good, phase open the door;
Nor dhrame that you're sure of escapin' detec-

WHAT CIGARS ARE MADE 0F.-The New York
correspondent of the SchOharie Republican, who,
it may be presumed, is domiced in the neigh
borh cd of the custom house. gives the following
revelation of the component materials Of ''real
Havanas" We copy it for the benefit of those
that inhale, or suppose they inhale, the fragrant
weed. 1t shows the doubt which hangs over,
not only what we drink but what we smoke:
Talking of cigars, was to d by Government
Appraiser, few days since, the following true
story in connection with the cigar trade of this
city: A large German importing house had re-
ceived an invoice of foreign cigars, which were
appra ised by the Custom officers at So per thou
sand. The importers were dissatisfied, and
asked for reappraisemeut, which was granted !:
and, under the most positive evidences supported
by the oath of the dealers, the cigars were ad-
mitted at a valuation of 81 so per thousand
Now the evidence alluded to was this-that not a
particle of tobacco entered into the composition
of said cigars, but that they were wholly composed
of oak and other leaves soaked in a strong tobac-
co lye. l understand that large quantities of
these real Havanas" find their way into the in
terror and from some experience have had in
that line, am inclined to believe that few spec
linens might be found even among the primitive
society Of old Schoharie."
The Yazoo Democrat., 1858-09-25

BE TRUTHFUL WITH CHELDREN.-Some
people tell lies to children with a view OF
enjoying laugh at their creduIity. This is
to make a mock It sin, and they are fools
who do it. The tendency in a child TO be.
lieve whatever It is told, is of God for good.
1t is lovely. 1t seems a shadow of primevaI
innocence glsncing by. We should rever,
once child's simplicity. Touch it only
with truth. Be not the first to quench that
lovely truthfulness by fsIsehood.

THE OLD PRINTER.
By c. W. M'CLUER.


By C. W. M'CLUER.
A Printer stood at his case one night,
In his office dark and drear,
And his weary sight was dim as the light
Of the mOuldy lamp hung near
The wintry winds were bowling without,
And the snow falling thick and fast,
But the Printer l trow, shook his locks of snow
And laughed at the shrieking blast
He watched the hands of the clock creep roun /
Keeping time with its snail-like tick,
AS he gathered the type with weary click,
In his old rust-eaten stick.
His hairs were as white as the falling snow,
And silently, day-by-day,
He beheld them wi tn grief, like the autumn leaf,
One by one, "passing away"
Time had cut with his pillow burrows deep in his
brow,
His check was fevered and thin,
And his long Roman nose could almost repOst
Its head on his gray. bearded chin;
And with fingers long, as the hours stole on,
Keeping time with the clocks dull tick,
He gathered the type with a weary click,
In the old rust-eaten stick.
For many long years, through joys and through
tears,
That old Printers time battered face,
So ghostly and lean, night and morn had been
seen,
Earnestly bent O'erhis case.
In few years more Death will lock up his form,
And put IL TO press In the mould
And stone Ger the spot whore they 10y him ia
rot,
Will tell us his name and how old
And his comrades will light that old lamp by his
case,
And list to the clocks dull tick,
AS they set up his death, with solemn click,
In his old rust-eaten stick.
