CABBIEE’S ADDRESS
TO THE FAtBMIS OF TBS
“ Altoona Eributte.”
Another year its rapid eonrse has sped.
And now lies buried with the mighty dead.
Imposed by custom —as in justice duo— ,
The Carrier pays his annual call to you;
And duty binds him once more to appear,
To wish his patrons many a happy yenW:
While he attempts the pleasurable tasks,
He to his swelling theme attention asks.
He sings not war—devastor of our fields —
Which mars the bounty Heaven so freely yields:
Nor civil broils; nor dire intestine strife—
The deep perdition of a social life; —
Hut peace and plenty—potent and supreme—
With freedom’s cause, shall be our present
theme.
And may tke year, that just lias fled impart
The glowing praises of a grateful heart
To all who do the notes of praise employ,
To cheer 1 them onward in their lives with joy.
But still I stop, to think of years that’s fled,
And wake the praises of the-migbty dead.
Who with their arts do make our joys abound,
Adorn our dwellings, and improve our ground ;
W’ho, through all time whiche’er has gone before
With fifty-nine, which are to us no more; —
When we reflect that all this numerous train
Augment our comforts, and increase our gain;
And all the labor of six thousand years
Around young Sixty at his birth appears,
Each with his own discovery, art and grace.
To enrich our minds and make our wealth in-
crease ;
And as we compass earth, and air, antCseas,
We tame the lightning and control the breeze ;
And at the end of hear six thousand years,
Our comfort doubles ds our w"ant appears—
Since that morn which did first rejoice to see
Young Time spring forth from vast Eternity,
When Earth was new, and Sea and Earth obeyed
Him who with joy his mighty works surveyed,
Who man supplied with Holy Angel’s food,
Who formed him first, and then pronounced him
good;
No land of ours could ever boast ofbliss,
With works profound, and privilege like this—
Each with bis own discovery, art and grace
Enrich our minds, and make our wealth in-
crease ;
So that the fruits and arts of all the world
Into our seaports annually arc hurled ;
Our home improvements are the world’s sur-
pnse^
As ’bovo them all in majesty wo rise.
’Twas freedom's boon, which God to man has
given
To brighten Earth, and be a typo of Heaven—
And ever free, nor feel the hard control
Of haughty Kings, while time and tides do roll;
But should the world decree that wo should
fall,
These States, united, may defy them all.
Compare with this the world in early days—
When mail' first learned to stray from Virtue’s
ways,
And soon was spread the blighting curse of
Sin—
When suffering hard with guilt did first begin —
When hoary Winter, with her frosts and snows, j
And burning suns on naked men arose—
Naught but ap apron Art could then supply.
How sad a world!—how dreary then to live!
Till Art supplied what Nature could not give;
But, having given Columbia, does arise,
Above the tears which once bedimmed her eyes ;
And now no groan disturbs her tranquil breast,
But being free, by Freedom will be blest I
Around proud Home, which once controlled
the world,
What dreadful devastation now is hurled!
Groaning beneath the yoke of tyrant power,
There’s none to save her in this trying hour—
No more her sons, with patriot vengeance warm,
Repel the fury of the rushing stortn —
No Brutus strikes for freedom ; and there’s now
No Cincinnatus at his humble plough*—
Disgrace and ruin blast her fruitful shore!
Ah, no! Italian greatness is no more—
Her glories to the Frenchman sec her trust,
Who lays them low as infamy and dust!—
In .fiery letters, branded deep with shame,
Eternal stigma on her once proud name!
My Country! Let then patriots look to thee,
Whose heroes willed it that you should be free,
Who freed you once of every foreign yoke,
And every chain and every fetter broke.
Until the fairest midst the fair you stand.
The fear of tyrants—freest of all lands—
Should foreign tyranny your soil invade,
It then would feel the fury of your blade.
See Mexico,' who yheds >the -smoking flood, ■

Selling tbe Lawyers.
On Sunday night last, a stray “ Billy
Goat,” who had long beert a'sourco of an
noyance to the policy, was picked up by
one of the officers of the Sixth Precinct,
and conveyed to tho Station-House j where
he was locked up in a cell like'any other
vagabond. On Monday morning the offi
cer thought they would make a little fun
out of “Billy’s” capture!. .So they scut
word to a noted criminal lawyer at thq
Tombs that a client of his, named William
Goetz, had been arrested and was then
confined in a cell in the Sixth Precinct
Station-House. Seizing his hat and cane,
the lawyer rushed to the rescue of his un
fortunate client, resolved,; If possible, to
get him bailed out. On;applying to the
Scrgeaht in charge, the following dialogue
ensued :
Counsel for William Goetz —“Sergeant,
I would dike to see one of your'prisoners
a few moments.”
Sergeant (up to the joke)—“What is
his name, sir ?” ‘
Counsel—“ William Gde'tz.”
Sergeant—“Ah fyes. Hard case—very
bad character. l)o you kriqw him.”
Counsel—“ Know him! ■ :Yes, indeed I
do, and can. assure you that you are. entire
ly mistaken in regard to hia character. I
have known him for fifteen years, and ean
vouch for hi* respectability. Why, he
was once a member of thq Common Coun
cil.
Sergeant—“ Here, Jim; show the gen
tleman to the cell of Mr. Goetz.”
Exit counsel down stairs to the cells.
Arriving at No. 4, he throws open the
door, and calls “Mr. Goetz! Mr. Goetz !
“Billy,” being tired of confinement, and
seeing a chance of escape; with a joyful
and prolonged rushes-toward the
door, and'nuddenly makes Ids exit between
the counsellor’s legs, leaving that astonish
ed and slightly mortified individual to rue
fully reflect, as he sits on the floor of the
cell, upon the ludicrous plight into which
he has fallen. “Mr. Goetz*’ cuts up sun
dry pranks in and about the premises, in
commemoration of his escape, while his
counsel, recovering his perpendicularity,
immediately takes to hi* heels, and shows
the laughing policeman a strait coat tail
as ho disappears around the corner. Of
course, the joke is considered too good to
stop at this point, and the, aggravated
counsellor must have his‘ revenge,, so he
sends another lawyer on the samp errand,
who is likewise sold,.and he takes his re
venge on a third. In this Way six or eight
noted criminal lawyers visited the Sixth
Ward Station House on .Monday to see a
client named “William iGoetz.” —New

To the Girls
The following contains such wholesome
advice to the female portion Of the pom
munitiy, that wo are constrained to lay it
before our readers, that it may he read and
pondered over again and again.
Ladies-caged birds.of beautiful plum
age, but sickly of the pallor,
who vegetate in an Unhealthy atmosphere,
like the potato germinating in a dark cel
lar, why do, you not go into the open air
and warm sunshine, and add lustre toyour
eyes, bloom to your cheeks,*and elasticity
to your steps, and vigor to your frames ?
Take early morning exercise, letloose
your corset string and run up the hilt on
a wager, and down again for fttu ; foam
the. fields, ciiijab the- fences, Ipatp the
ditches, wade the aftejr a day'
of exhilerating exercise and unrestmned
liberty, go home with apetite acquired by
healthy enjoyment. .
The blooming and beautiful young lady
—rose-cheeked and bright-eyed—who can
darn a stocking, xfiend her ' own frocks,
command a regiment pf pots and Settles,
feed the pigs, milk the cows, and he alady
when required, is the girl! tfiat young men
are in quest of for a wife, i But your pun
ing, screwed-up, doll-dressed,
consumption-mortgaged, musio-mur.dcring,
and novel-devouring daughters of fashion
and idleness—you are no more fit for mat
rimony than a pullet is to look after a
brood of fourteen chickens. The truth is
my dear girls, you want less fashionable
restraint, and more liberty of action. —
More kitchen and less parlor; move pud
ding and less piano ; more frankness and
less mock modesty. .. Loose you* waist
strings, and breathe in the.pure atmos
phere, and become as good and hcau|iful
as nature designed. ;■ - -
