WILD OATs.--The following charming
piece of word-music, from Mc1lilan's Magazine, &
probably from the pen of the celebrated novelist
Miss MULCH gf-
When all tine world is young lad,
And all The trees are green,
And every goose swan, lad,
And every lass queen,
Then fly for boot and horse, lad,
Aud round the world away, lL6ElG
Young blood must have its course, lad ~.-s
And every dog his day.
When all the world is old, lad,
And al the trees are brown,
And all the sport is stale, lad
And all the wheels run down,
Creep home and take your place there,
The spent and MANNED among
God gram you find a face there
You foUed foten yoD aoege young.

COLUMBIA, THE GEM OF THE OCEAN,
A correspondent Of the Missouri Democrat ais ats
feufj0n 10 "a very singular ana hitherto unNeedeQ
blunder In the commonly sung and printed wording"
Of the song, columbia the Gem Of the Ocean"
The first stanza is always worded TINS:
90 Columbia the gem Of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free:
The shrine Of each patriots devotion
A world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates make heroes assemble
When Liberty's form Glands in view,
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the Red, White and t1fae"
Tho ftia and sfxff4 IF oIova avn ,,nt,r.
in fact, and libel on Republican patriotism Our
heroes assemble voluntarily "when Liberty's form
stands in view" they need no mandates"
The seventh and eighth lines are nonsense. How
can "banners' be borne "by the Red White and
Blus?" What meaning Is there in the words?
have no doubt the lines referred to originally
written thus:
sThy banners make heroes assemble,
When Liberty's form stands in view;
Thy mandates make tyranny tremEle,
When borne by the Red, White and Blue"
Thus read, the words abound in truth and patriot
ism. 1t Is shame TO let 90 glorious song suffer
longer from the stupid blunder Of some by-gone
scribbler or drunken compositor
