Dick Nash is dead, that bar-istsr,
Let ali the earth bewal;
He used to wear 4 quaker coat,
All toned down the tail.
Has troad brinl hat wa, all the 60,
HIS banjo almost taik'd
His music went all DER the boat
wonder where he's walked,
4 smile was always on his face,
4 frowu he ne er could gather;
His legs were long, his bottom good,
Though he disllkad bad weather.
He lloated Ger the troubled waves,
His wit and fun together;
All knew and loved him very well;
lie went with Captain Leather.
He did his part down here below,
FlII'A mp we'll his decanter;
When ills and aches were on the bost,
Was at his bar !nstanter.
He turned his time to good account;
Let nothing 60 to waste;
His bottles groaned with liquids filled,
Serv'L punch to suit each taste.
He raiset, the spirits in one sense,
Though net as rappeEs must;
He kent them all securely stopp'd
But now and then they bust.
And W hen let loose from all restraint,
And free from all their cables,
They flew about Ill oe'r the beat
hick;d up and turned the tables
lived good and scber life,
Though others sometimes sp|utter'd /:
And although others took too much;
He knew which side was butter'd.
For Mayor in New Orleans he ran,
HIS friends down there to meet;
His race was long and we'll held OUT
But surely he got beat.
His aim at last was for the bench,
He lov'd the thing done neat
He was Just as d bar-lster,
But now he has his seat.

For enc to Joke and one to smile, ~

Tile desire OF beauty, wien restrained
within moderate bounds, may prove q
yirtuous and laudabIe pursuit, and III ay
also be grestly instrumental to the pie
seryation of health at the same time,
we are as equally as persuaded That this
desire is pursued by methods not the
most proper, and that from not having a
just idea of beauty, females ma ke many
valuable sacriti es, not only of things es-
sentia to health, but sometimes to life
itself. Tight laclng is far more destrac-
tive 10 human life i'll this country tnan

far has e: it drop. TIE sheriff WIS after

along the bank with piece Of iron, to
Which liz applied saecesslve'y all ths
pebbles he found. As oue after another
they produced no Change N the metal,
he flung them into The stream. Al last

the iron became gold i'll bis hand. But,
alas he had become so used to tlla
"touc|, and 90" movement, that the real
stones were inyoluntarily thrown into 10
the river after the others, and lost to him
lor ever. think this story well allego"
rizes tie fate OF the coquette. sEe has
tried and discarded SO many hearts, that
at length she throws away the right one
from pure force OF habit.
