YOUNG AMERICA.

When was boy, it is no matter when,
l admit twas a long time ago,
There were many children with roundabouts then,
And the world turned round very slow;
At nine the old people went through with prayers
And the children all went to their beds,
For they never took part in the old folks affairs
Till an idea came into their heads.
But now we have exquisite handles at ten,
Who strut in their swallOw-tailed coats,
And put on the airs and the vices of men,
And squander their change and bank notes;
They top off their cocktails and wine with smack,
Till, though green, they all get very mellow,
And they slap you famiiiarly over the back,
While they say GLOW dye do, my old fellow p
They turn up their noses at girls in their frocks,
And talk about hoops and long dresses,
At an age when their fathers wore natures socks,
Nor dreamed of intrigues and caresses;
They smoke, chew tobacco, bet, gamble and swear,
And dance all the polkas and fancies,
With an easy assurance and languishing air,
That delights all the Bridgets and Nancies.
o DEAR I'm frightened half out of my wits,
With the hurry and hustle and stir,
The world by steam progress seems knock 'dintoh hts
And goes round with whizz and wherr.
Shall we never go back to the steady old pace,
And grow up and expand by degrees?
For now we rush on as if running race,
And the devil the hindmost would seize.

A BACHELORS WoEs.-What a pitiful thing
an old bachelor is; with his cherries house and
rueful phiz, on a bitter cold night, when the
fierce winds blow, and the earth is covered with
foot of snow. When the fire is out and IN
snivering dread he slips meath the sheets of his
lonely bed; how he draws up his toes, still en-
cased in tyarn hose, and buries his nose meath the
chilly bed clothes, that his and his toes still
encased in yarn hose, may not be froze Then he
pufs and blows, and swears that he knows no
mortal on earth suffered such woes, and with
abs and obs, and with limbs nearly froze, to his
slumber in silence he goes. In the morn when
the cock crows, and the sun just rose from meath
the bed clothes pokes the bachelors nose, and as
you may suppose he hears the wind blows, and he
sees the window all froze, why back meath the
clothes pops the poor fellows nose for if from the
bed he rose, put his clothes, he'd surely froze.

RATHER BoLD.-A gentleman on his way from
Boston to Vermont, stopped at tavern where he
met an inouisitve country fellow, who said to him:
"Where have you come from, if may be so bold!'
"Not bold at ALL came from Boston"
"Where are you going, if I may be so boldF'
81 am going to Vermont"
"Who are you going to see there if may be so bold

DEATH.

A strange and terrible thing IS death,
AS its pinions are DER spread,
And we gaze on the dim and lustreless eye,
And the frozen brow of the dead;
For from the heart it dashes all hopes,
Like bird that is struck on the wing;
And causes the tones of sorrow to swell,
From the souls frail quivering string.
How oft from the social haunts we miss
The bright, the fair, and the gay;
Lips, late warm with the burning kiss,
Eyes, but of yesterday.
But while the laugh and the glee was high,
There came shadowy hand,
Which beckoned their noiseless steps to death
Grim king of the silent land.
The western Democrat. [volume] (Charlotte, N.C.) 1852-1870, 1859-04-12
A TOUGH ONE.

A good story is told in an Eastern paper of a
drunken husband by his amiable wife:
CATER trying various expedients, she at last be-
thought herself of a plan of reforming her lord.
She engaged Waterman for stipulated reward to
carry Philander to the watch-house, while yet in
state of inSensibility, and to frighten him little
when recovered Under this arrangement Phan-
der awoke about ii o'clock at night and found
himself lying on pine bench, in a strange and
dim apartment. Raising himself upon his elbow
he looked around, until his eyes rested upon man
seated by the stove, smoking cigar; "Where am
l ?" said Phandpr.
ain Medical College" said the cigar smoker
"What adding there?'
'Going to be cut up"
"IIow came that ?"
"Why, you died yesterday, while you were drunk
and we bought your body to make an anatomy :!
ats lie, I'm not dead"
"No matter; we bought your carcase of your wife
who had right to sell it, for its all the good she
ever could make of you. If you're not dead, that's
10 fault of the doctors, and they'll cut you up
dead or alive"
"You will do it, ell p" asked the old sot.
Gay, to be sure we will-now, directly" was
the resolute answer.
"Well, can't you let me have something to drink
before you begn?"
This last speech satisfied the Waterman that
Philander's hopeless case, and as his reward
was contingent on his successful treatment of the
patient he not little chagrined at the result
so, with no gentle handling he tumbled the ire.
forrlablc drunkard out of the watch house.
Philander made for home the best way he could
to ascertain what his wife had got, so that he
might get half and 'get dead" again, and enable
his wife to sell him another time at larger sum. ,
The last we heard of them they were quarreline
about the money.

OLDEN TIMES.

Alas. how everything has changed,
Since | was sweet sixteen;
Then all the girls wore home-spun frocks,
With aprons nice and clean.
Dear me young ladies nowadays,
Would almost faint away,
To think of riding all alone
In wagon, chaise or sleigh;
And as for giving ''pa' his meals,
Or hel ping ''ma" to bake;
o dear 'twould spoil their lily hands,
(Though sometimes they make eake.)
