Old times, and manners and men,
As look behind on my journey SO long
OF three score miles and ten.

Bnoyant, and brave, and bold,
And my heart can sing, as of yore it
sung, e
Before they call me old.

But kiss you now rs kissed you once,

Yetnow am feeble and bent.

For old as am and old as l seem,
Ny heart is full of youth. ,..zr
Eye hath not seen, tongue hath not told,
Aud ear hath not heard it sung,
How buoyant and bold, tho it seems to

Is the heart forever young.
Forever young, though LIES old age
Hath every nerve nnstrungl

UNCLE SAM AS AN OvERsEER ON SouTHERs
PLANrAr1oKs.-In alluding to the bill Of Mr.
Senator Foster, turning Uncle Sam into cot
ton Planter in South Carolins, which has pass
cd tho Senate, the New York Eapress says:
The elephant" of 5000 or 10000 pauper
negros being on their hands-their natural
South Carolina protectors having run away
we have no further alternative than to turn
negro overseers, and work the negros as well
as we can. But "Uncle Sam" is notoriously
the poorest sort of a landlord, and of course,
much worse planter We have no doubt
that in his new character of cotton planter, he
will be rur in debt, heels over head, and that
his "Board of Receivers" Guardians" Super
intendants," ETC., will eat him out of house
and home, and come up to the Treasury with
the heaviest sort of unpaid bills! But what
can we do The man that has an elephant"
must not let him starve.
