FASHION AND FAMINE.-fhe following
extract, from Communication of DR.. Ri
cardo, in the Wyandot Gazette, is too true
a picture of American Goldfish aristocracy.
He says:
Foreign rags and fashions dearly paid
for with American gold and silver, make
every father of a family, extremely poor.
Germans live in this Country for less
than one-half it costs the Americans to live.
What is the result +? You have it before
your eyes. The Americans are obliged to
become bankrupts-their property is sold to
the Germans every day for one-tenth of its
value. Rags and fashions are the sole meas
ures of value in high society; even the
kitchen now a-days pretends to be exactly
equal to Queen Victoria's drawing room 70

A PROPHECY OF GEN. JAcKsoN.-Mr. P.
w. Chandler. in speech made at West
Roxbury. Massachusetts,, refers to private
letter of Gen. Jackson's as follows:
'sI have recently seen remarkable auto
graph to friend in Georgia after the passage
of Mr.. Clay's compromise measuers. After
speaking of the whole notification project,
as only General Jackson could speak of it,
he proceeds to assert that the whole thing
had merits, and that the complaint of the
tariff was a mere pretenee, arguing that the
principle which was complained of was just
as bad in Mr.. Clay's bill as in the old law.
The tariff he says is the pretenee cow for
the disunion cry, in a fesc gears ii aCiH be the
negro. What was then prophecy is now So
Der truth. The negro is now the pretence
of men who desire to have their own way,
which is the rule for minority govern
ment."

He's rapping at the door.
Too well know the boding sound
That ushers in a bore.

The stoutest of my foes,
But, Heaven defend me from the friend
Who comes-but never goes
He drops into my easy-chair,
And asks about the news,
Peers into my manuscript,
And gives his candid views;
He tells me where he likes the line,
And where he's forced to grieve;
He takes the strangest liberties,
But never takes his leave
He reads my daily papers through,
Before I've seen a word
He scans the lyric (that l wrote),
And thinks it quite absurd
He calmly smokes my last cigar,
And coclly asks fore more;
He opens everything he sees
Except the entry door.
He talks about his fragile health,
And tells me of the pains
He suffers from a score OF ills
OF which he ne'er complains;
And how he struggled once with Death
To keep the fend at bay
On themes like those away he goes
But never goes away.
He tells me of the carping words
Some shallow critic wrote,
And every precious paragraph
Familiarly can quote.
He thinks the writer did me wrong:
He'd like to run him through
He says thousand pleasant things
But never says Adieu.
Wheneer he comes-that dreadful man
Disguise it as | may,
| know that, like an Autumn rain,
He'll last throughout the day.
In vain | speak of urgent tasks,
In vain | scowl and pout:
A frown is no extinguisher-
1t does not put him out.

Put Grape upon the door,
Or hint to Sam that am gone
To stay a month or more.
