The Art of Book Keeping.
by THOMAS HOOD.

How hard, when those who did not wish,
To lend, thus lose, their books,
Are shared by anglers, folks that fish
With literary Hooks;
Who call and take some fayorite tome,
But never reed It thorough;
They thus complete their set at home,
By making one at you.
l, of my Spencer quite bereft.
Last winter score was shaken;
Of Lamb I've but quarter left,
Nor could ! save my Bacon
And then saw my CRADLE at last,
Like Humtet backward go;
And, as the tide was ebbing fast,
Of course / lost my ROsCc
NY MalIet served to knock me down,
Which makes me thus talker;
And once, when was out of town.
My johnson proved a Walker.
Whilst studying o er the fire one day,
MY Hobbies amidst the smoke,
They bore my CoIntan clean away,
And carried off my Coke.
They picked my Locke, to me far more
Than Bramah's patent worth,
And now my losses deplore,
Without Home on earth.
If once book you let them lift,
Another they conceal
For, though caught them stealing Suift,
AS swiftly went my 6teele. -
Hope is not now upon my shelf,
Where late he stood elated
But what is strange, my Pope himself
Is excommunicated
MY little Sucking in the grave
Is sunk to swell the ravage;
And what was CrsssOe's fate to save,
Twas mine to lose-a Savage
Even Gl0Uers works cannot put
My frozen hands upon;
Though ever since lost my Foote,
My BWngeH has been gone,
Ny Hoyle with Cotton went oppressed
Ny Taylor, too, must fail
To save my Goldsmith from arrest,
In vain | offered Bayle.
/ Prior sought. but could not see
The Hood so late in front;
And when | turned to hunt for Lee,
o, where was my Leigh Hunt
Itried to laugh, old care to tickle;
Yet could not Tickle touch;
And then, alack missed my Mickle,
And surely Mickle's much.
IT'S quite enough my griefs to feed,
My sorrows to excuse
To think cannot read my Reid,
Nor even use my Hughes:
My classics would not quiet lie,
A thing so fOndly hoped;
Like DIR. Primrose, May cry,
Ny Liry has eloped
NY life is ebbing fast away;
Isuffer from these shocks;
And though fixed lock on Gray,
There's gray upon my locks;
I'm far from Young, am growing pale,
/ see my BrtIcr fly;
And when they ask about my all,
It's Burton reply.
They still have made me slight returns,
And thus my griefs divide;
For 0, they cured me of my Burns,
And eased my Akenside
But all think shall not say,
Nor let my anger burn;
For as they never found me Gas,
They have not felt me Sterne.

DOMESTIC LIFE.-The baneS OF
domestic life are littleness, falsity,
vulgarity, harshness, scolding,
vOciferation, an incessant issuing
Of superhuous prohibitions and
orders, which are regarded as i'm
pertinent inteferences with the
general liberty and repose, and
are provocative of rankin or ex.
plOdingresentments. The blessed
antidotes that sweeten and enrich
domestic life are refinement, high
aims, great interests, soft voices
quiet and gentle manners, mag
unanimous tempers, forbearanct
from all unnecessary commands
or dictation, and generous allow
ances of mutual freedom. Low,
makes obedience lighter than lib
erty. Man wears a noble allegi
ance, not as collar, but as gar
land. The Graces are never s.
lovely as when seen waiting OF
the Virtues; and, where they
thus dwell together, they make ;
heavenly home Ayers Friend
ship Of Women.

~ A late number of bingham
(Illinois) Democrat speaks of q
couple of fellows in that county
that have been swapping women.
We have heard of instances be-
fore where husbands have traded
wives, but this is the first instance
that we ever noticed where a IA
ther traded a daughter to a hus-
band for his wife. This gross bar
barism was developed in the court
OF that county last week. 1t APP
pears, says the Democrat, that at
or near Mason, a preacher named
Deitz-heaven save the mark l.
traded his daughter to his neigh
Dor, named Burns, for his wife,
agreeing to give as boot between
the daughter and wife $1,000
In accordance with this trade, the
husband left the wife and took
the daughter off to st. Louis, and
the wife placed herself under the
care Of the trading preacher. AT
ter Burns had frolicked around
st. Louis awhile with the daugh-
ter, he returned to Mason and de-
manded his boot money, which
the Reverend old scoundrelrefused
to pay, and then Burns had him
arrested fol seducing his wife, and
the trial developed the above
facts."-[ Cincinnati Enquirer.
All of which took place in the
land of loyalty and moral ideas.
~ 1t is remarkable fact in
the history of the Congressional
legislation of the past four years
that you shall search it in vain for
the first evidence of a desire upon
, the part of the conquerors to eff
feet a reconciliation upon any
terms which those who offered
them believed to be acceptable, or
did not know to be humiliating
and diShonorable. And the ''pro-
gress" has been steadily from one
measure of degradation to anoth-
er, each more impossible to attain
the end ostensibly IN view than it's
predecessor-until the whole has
eliminated in that compound of
National disgrace and villainy
properly designated by Senator
Doolitttle "a bill to organize hell
in the Southern States. and seen
in its practical workings in the
carpet-bag governments which
have blotted every semblance of
civil liberty from a territory half
as large as Continental Europe,
without substituting for it even a
decent despotism. But even were
the reconstructions acts wise and
just, instead Of illiberal. infamous,
they have failed even in the ac-
compplishment of the purpose of
their authors.

THE LORDS PRAYER.-A maid
en- knelt in the twilight hour, and
clasping her hands, breathed fer
ventIy forth: "Our father, who
art in Heaven halIowed be Thy
name"
A mother, in deep agony of grief,
gazed on her child, sleeping her
long last sleep, a smile wreathing
her soft lips, and white hands
folded across that still and pulse
less heart, and kneeling there, the
living beside the dead, she prays /:
"Thy will be done"
AS the early beams of the orient
glids the sleeping land, widow,
with her suffering little ones, chill
led by poverty and woe, bows at
at the throne of grace, and fer
vently prays; "Give us this day
our daily broad"
An aged father, as his loved
and loving boy goes forth from
his paternal care, to brave the
cold frowns of life, kneels beside
him on the eve of his departure,
and pleads: "Lead him not into
temptation, but deliver him from
evil, for thine is the kingdom, the
power, and the glory, forever, and
ever, Amen"

BAD FINANCIAL CONDITION OF
NORTH CARoLlNA.-The Treasurer Of
North Carolina has submitted to the
State Legislature report, in which he
makes the following exhibit Of the con-
dition of the public Treasury Of tho
State. He says:
"l am compelled to report that it was
found utterly impossible to raise money
to pay the interest on the public debt
due January /, 1860. Every effort
was made to borrow the money needed,
about S505, 900, both in this State and
New York, but all without effect. Ow.
ing to causes which all understand, we
cannot borrow money at par at the com.
merc'al centres without pledge Of COL
latcrals.
