During the absence of Albert Clarke, editor
OF the st. Adams Messenger, the other day,
somebody got inserted in the Messenger an
abomlnatlon pretending to be a poem, and
which was soon found to be acrostic, asserting
by the initial letters of its lines that Albert
Clarke is an ass. The paper had tremendous
sale, the edition being exhausted in half an
hour, and the affair is the Joke of the season at
st. Adams. The Advertiser, of course, re-
printed the poem. Clarke charges the Joke to
the Smiths He seems to wish that he was
dead
We have been favored with number
OF choice poems of that character, during
high political excitements, but none have
yet found a place in the journal. Some
Of them have been gotten up very ingeni-
ously. One that we remember was an ex-
ceedingly well written ode to spring, that,
about half way down, developed into an
acrostic much like the one published in
the Messenger. 1t took about two min
utes to detect that little game. But the
boys would have had nice time, if it had
been printed.

The stalwart woodsman teled the forest tree,
The builder laid her keel, with incest care,
With girded beam and ponderous oaken knee,
With plank, and treenail, raised the structure

Through summers heat. and early autumns

The axe resounde,i, ard the hammer rang;
The clear brain planned; the brown hand piled

The master praised; the willing toiler sang.
Fresh from the builders hand she stands at

Airy and graceful. vet so staunch and stout,
A pondsrOus union of repose and strength.
Her fnasts are set, and starry flags flung out
Upon the shore the impatient thousands wait,
While axe and arm their steady rhythm keep,
And hundreds walk her snowy decks, elate,
10 speed her advent on the flowing deep.
The axe rings louder. faster, than before;
The strong arms, sweep; the heavy blocks are
rent:
The wavelets reach to drag her from the shore
The last command from keel TO deck Is sent.
And now aloft, is stayed the restless tread,
The dog shore draWn-the ponderous craft Is
free.
The farotf forest bows her conquered head,
And sends this tribute to a tameesS sea.
She starts, now breathless stand the expectant
crowd.
And every heart beats wild. with hope and fear
Now swells the joyful murmur, long and loud,
And every face illumes with radiant cheer.
Look, Look. she's quiyering i'll every beam.

With one eNpectant bound upon the stream.
