Saint Paul weekly Minnesotian., 1859-01-08

Like moon beneath silvery cloud,
A golden censer, perfume STEPPED
No common porcelain serves the proud
Just Ger the head, to dazzle light,
Mirrors of plate refulgent hung;
Down near the foot, glittering sight,
Reflections choicest glasses swung.
And gorgeous chairs, inviting, lean
Their sleepy softness round the floor;
The windows curtained with silver and green
The day-lght's harshness melts obscure!
Odors perfume the ambient air:
A sickening richness crowds the nose: -
And o world of walls, is glistening where
An ivory cabinet, gorgeous glows,
With all the glittering toilet aids
To manly beauty necessary!
From every flower of esplanade,
Besides the strength Of nusk-etary
All, reinforcing curling tongs,-
Artillery Of the battery
While Ambergris, the effect prolongs,
And Roses help it Attar-ly.
Who is this princely Sybarite p .....
Who thus in noisome fragrance dwells?
Whose splendor thus the eyes delightl
Who curls the nose with costly smellsf
This is Democrat, I'd have you knowi
A social diamond of Equality! "'. ~ .-

A noble EARL of the Democracy
''Who pays p you ask-ah, NUNS the word
'Tis $4,000 stealings, in year,
That helps our editor of the Organ grid
His loins with splendor, casting US 50 dearl
Sneaking, yet plausible. ho worms around,
And from right owners filches many . job;
Money his god, and next, pomatum's found
Nearest the heart our Democratic Snob!

See chamber, dull and dreary, ..f f..
Dirt, upon the floor and walls
Musty, fusty, Dictionary
Simple nature here appalls
In book ok-case-Metaphysics!
All around, hang files Of news;
On the table, flask for phthisics,
And, Westminster Reviews
Lungs affected, that inhaler
Life restores in natures cells;
Mind but feeble, like tailor
Cabbages his articles
See him working-how he hicks 'em,
Like bee from flower to flower i!
Here, his words, so long, he picks 'em-
There, ideas on him shower!
Mixes them so supersensuous:
High falutin' see him soar!
Fixes them, so huententiousi
Simple mortals to o'erpower.
On-to-log-i-callst being!
Essence of the Briton's kind!
Nova Scotia's sands a-heaing
Here Reviews the British mind.
Gym-no-so-phist philosoph.!
Lex-i-cog- IA -phi-cal digger!
Shame to those, who'd have the doff,
Thy pos-te-ri-or-i-al figure
Some there are, insinuate,-
Thou dost it naturally, alone
The climbing monkey simulate
And with big words for brains atone.

ROTARY MILLS THAT RUNNETH NOT By WATER
Coarser meat we next draw near:
Larger muscle, bigger brain;
Spongy that-and this not clear
'Tis wonder what they all contain
Liquid fills their every cell;
Brandy, Lager, Wine, or Gin;
Crowding, bursting, see them swell,
Through every vein of Mills skin.
Clever fellow would he only
Let the cursed liquor be-;
And to manners, bend as pronely,
Honoring his fraternity:
There is stuff within his head,
Liquor out and mind elate, g..
To make man, whose scope and spread,
Than twenty mills as now would rate

THE TINES DESCRIBED, WITH THE PIoUs NEW
SON AND THE UNcTUoUs OWENS.
See, where the Times, with columns wide,
Like sails outspread to catch breeze,
Or gobler's tail, in feathery pride,
Upraised, indig., at every sneeze!
See, how it filings its banner out,
Inscribed with Afric's direst wrongs!
While meath the Layers very snout
1t elevates its temperance songs!
The more it trots the nigger out,
All men have learned,-to see it turn
And stab the foes to slavery's curse
The nigger's but its brief concern,
To hide the treason it doth nurse.
And Layers Kegs it would break in
To pull the wool DER temperance eyes
While Muggins, fills his mug with gin,
And Owens grows, DER brandy, wise
Its Sickles hath his harvest sun go. .-
