THE RECRUITING OFFICE"

Walk up, gentlemen, and place your names on our roll-never mind the 6xins if our desk is a barrel, and our ink bad enough-in a horn that barrel is the altar of Liberty nevertheless. Yes! and that scroll of paper-may it never be- come your winding sheet-is the Scroll of Fame.
 Gentlemen this workshop with it's drills, files and wheels turns out heroes in due course of time --ifnot sooner. Bell Ona, gentlemen-that's the female superintendent of our war department, likes young men-what women don't say you young and active, between the age of IS and 8, that's the age for Carriage, Forage, and Bag gage. Single men preferred of course, that don't mean you cant come by two's-you may come in crowds if you will the more the merrier, say Gall up your friends.
 Dress up for your country. Step into the i'm minent deadly brooches" as Shakespeare says and good pair of shoes to boot and new it won't be ong-be brave and you'll get coat at length You may carry a musket to begin with, but let your reports be favorable, and you may sport sword by your side. The field is wide open, and advance is the word-advance till you get to the top of the heap, then you can take long rest
 If you should happen to get wounded, there's a hospital foryo to go to--not to chew the cud of bitter disappointment but to feel your oats like man that mas dOne ms duty, With medical advice gratis--there's an inducement to shed yonr blood.
 And as for provender gentlemen, Uncle Sam feeds his boys we'll. Would you believe it, that you have rolls every morning at reveille-peas on trencher for breakfast and roast beef for dinner There's the fun, too. Lashings of it. Picquets and whist after nightfal balls full of music. and parties night and day, with Quad- drills at the Guard house, and Gallops, Steps and Marches everywhere.
 So toe the mark, gentlemen. Take gun on your shoulder aad aim for glory. Come with will not your last testament, or any other, for the Bible Union will furnish you every thing in that particular for camp meeting purposeS-we want a will that has no Cant about it.
 Your mother country will care for you like a child. She will feed and clcthe you with e bountiful hand, and give you after you have suffered, and been bed, and come back, hun dred and sixty acres of free soil in the far West. where you can plant your destnies by the sweat of your brows, get married and be a husband man.
 So come along lads and make men of your selves. Give me your names, and have them handed down to future generations at once This is post ofposterity, where the males are sent right on to their destinyation, if they don't fall into the Dead Letter Box on the way

AUCTION OF BACHELORS.

dreamed dream in the midst of my slumbers And as fast as dreamed, it ran into numbers It seemed that law had been recently made That tax on old bachelors pates should be laid And in order to make them all willing to marry The tax was as large as a man could well carry The bachelors grumbled, and saidtwas no use Twas cruel injustice, and horrid abuse; And declared that to save their hearts blood
 from spilling,
 Of such vile tax they would not pay shilling But the rulers determined them still to pursue So they set all old bachelors up at vendue. A crier was sent through the town to and fro To rattle his bell and his trumpet to blow, And to call out to all he might meet on his way, sHo! forty old bachelors sold here to-day" And presently all the old maids in the town, Each in her very best bonnet and gown, From thirty to sixty, fair, plain, red and pale, Of every description, all focked to the sale. The auctioneer then in his labor began, And called out aloud, as he held up man, ssHow much for a bachelor? Who wants to buy?'' In twink every maiden responded "I, l." In short at highly extravagant price, The bachelors were all sold off in trce, And forty old maidens, some younger, some older, Each luggcd an old bachelor home on her shoul-
