Awake! arise, from sluinhering beds,
And wash your faces, comb your heads,
Draw on your boots, jump in your pants,
And rush, with all the blandishments,
That tailors lend, into the street
Prepared to your New Year's treat.
Fair maiden—throw your night-cap high,
And upon up your pretty eye,
And twist your hair in many a curl,
And all your silken sails unfurl :
Put on your cheek a ruddy glow
With drippings from the virgin snow ;
Throw on the robes which silkworms wove
And merchants brought from spicy grove;
Attired thus in good bootee,
Come in the street and list to Inc.
No organ, with a crank, have I,
Nor monkey with a playful eye,
Nor tambourine with tinkling bell,
With which to please your fancy well.
A simple poet sings his lay
And scatters verses by-the way.
He prompts your gentle heart to treat
And makes you shake your tiny feet.
Dear calico—with beauty crowned,
How I would likelo move around
And pour sweets ditties in your ear,
This youngest morning of the year,
Until your eyes would showers leak,
And pour in torrents down your cheek,
Enough to turn a saw-mill wheel
Or make a puddle for an eel.
But =Men, with the ruby lip,
Who-te nectar. I would love to sip,
And see myself in your blue eye,
The brightest star in beauty's sky,
I must not waste my precious time,
By hanging; round this crinoline.
Now, Busy, "don't you cry for mc,"
For I must sing my New Year's glee;
Don't burst your waistband with your grief,
For I can furnish no relief;
Dry up your tears, compose your heart,
For down the street, I now must start:
So woman with the watery eye,
I'll bid you now a short good bye,
I see great throngs of people bore,
Delighted wiih the new-born year.
The happy swain, with kid-gloved hand,
Supported by his light rattan,
Is bowing to his Sarah Jane,
stud twisting like a weather-vane,
As Sarah sends a winuing,glance,
Or turns her azure eye askance.
Oh, Johnny—hold your beating heart—
She wants to smash your vital part,
And make a whiskered, mighty man,
Obey the beckon of her hand.
Your eagle eyes, keep opened wide,
.As you are walking by her side,
Or your soft heart will stick like wax,
To that huge pile of moving sacks.
The shifting scene presents a view
Not altogether rare or new.
Young men and women, girls and boys
Are eating sugar-candy toys.
Huge roosters melt upon the tongue,
With things that must remain unsung--
While ginger cakes ; and pretzels too,
With lager beer, are lost to view.
How happy you are, all—and gay—
While moving up and. down the way—
As though nspondoolielts" were as flush,
As torrents that from bill-sides gush.
[light glad, am I, your pocket books
Present such soul-enticing looks ;
For ere the shades of evening come,
I do expect to pick out some
Nice quarters from their hiding place,
And to my pocket, gently trace
The silver shiners—burnished bright—
And rather peasant to the sight.
Begone, old levy: And thou fip,
With which was purchased many a "nip;"
By which said nips, were lowly laid,
So many men of every grade :
By which, the mother's cheek grew pale,
Anti household goods wore put to sale;
And lovely daughters, sprightly boys,
Were robbed of all their earthly joys,
Begone, I say ; I like you not,
You ugly piece,—this train of thought
Suggests, that you have spent your time,
About the haunts of vice and crime.
You look so dirty, dinged and queer,
You must have lived, where lager beer
And blear-eyed whiskey have been swilled,
And moving rum-casks have been filled.
Unnumbered fights, you've seen, no doubt,
And whiskey suckers tumbled out,
Pell-mell, dead level with a dog,
When you, the last, were spent for grog.
If you had staid at home at night,
And kept your face, both clean and bright,
And not associated with
Bad company, their kin and kith,
You could have shown as rich a tint,
As quarter dollars from the mint.
Within the year, just "gone to pot,"
The panic, like a whirl-wind, caught
Proud, airy castles, floating high,
Like clouds along an evening sky,
And dashed the vapors to the ground,
And strewed the shadows, all around.
The comet came to take a view
Of many worlds it never knew;
Then switched its tail and bade good bye,
And broke for a remoter sky.
The cable in the ocean's bed—
For jolly lightnings, there to tread—
O'er coral reefs, through beds of sand,
Ffas wound its way from land to land;
And there it lies, as mute as daath,—
Do Sauty cannot give it breath.
Now, patrons, I could longer sing,
And make the upper heavens ring
With notes so varied, rare and rich,
That Gabriel might his trumpet pitch,
From frontal parapet on high,
Down, through the clear cerulean sky,
And say to ma—young man of song—
My silver trumpet take along,
Where o'er - you tr),--for I must own,
I ne"er htkre lietened to ft tono,

JANUARY 1, 1859
---PERSEVERE.--
So sweet as thine, since morning light
First broke upon Arch-Angers sight.
ido not wish to mesmerize
This noble tenant of the skies,
And while asleep, to steal his horn,
With which to grace this New Year's morn
I merely wish to frighten out
The echoes, in the dells, about,—
And make them trip fantastic toe,
On Terrace mountain, robed in•snow ;
Thence bound at once, in lively dance,
To Piney Ridge, and there entrance
The people of this good old town,
Who come to see them "hoe it down."
Dear patrons—is the ninsir right,
And has the dancing pleased your sight
If so, just lend a listening car ;
I wish you joy another year.
Nair maiden, whom I left in tears,
"Curibunixed" much, 'mid hopes and fears,
I have a pile of shining dust,
That I'll lay up, where moth nor rust,
Nor nothing else, shall e'er invade,
The treasures, I have this day made,
Until I need them. Then, Susy, you
Can liaN'e a portion of them, too.
Our readers have often read of the peculi
ar customs and almost incredulous dishes of
our underground neighbors—the Chinese.—
But the following, written by one who mixes
with them daily, in California, we give as to
us related :
"In the markets, sucking-pigs and dogs,
are equally exposed for sale ; the one being
as readily purchased as the other. The later,
however, are not freely bought after they
have been fed on animal diet, except by the
very poorest classes ; but are nourished with
milk and rice on purpose for the table. In
the markets at Canton, I have observed, side
by side, a pheasant and a cat; and, upon en-
quirt', found them to bear precisely the same
value. The cormorant, the wild duck, the
hawk and the pigeon, being respectively in
dulged in by the bon vivant, while the salted
rat, dried in the sun seemed to be au object
of peculiar relish. Previous to their putting
this animal to death, they frequently inflict up
on it the most excruciating agony; whether or
not upon the some principle that we consider
a hunted hare more delicate than one that
has been shot, I leave my readers to deter
mine. I have frequently seen a workman
catch a rat, and, with the fore finger and
dexterousty break all the animals teeth,
Ideaving• it in ain't state until the evening,
when it is killed and flayed for sa-
ana tlayeu
They are, moreover, constantly in the habit
of nailing the rat upon a flat board by the
four paws, and leaving it in that position fur
many hours, and seem amazed at any one
taking compassion upon the wretched beast.
This animal is generally salted and dried in
the sun prior to being eaten, as they say
they taste infinitely more delicate after this
preparation."
MATERNAL Jors.—An exchange perpetrates
the following scandal :
" ba-a-a-a I" shrieked a half-na
ked infant, of about eighteen months old.
"What's the matter with mamma's thweet
little duckey ?" says the affectionate mother,
while she presses it to her bosom, and the
young serpent, in return, digs its talons into
her face. "Da', den, Missus, I know what
little Master Sim wants," exclaimed the
cherub's negro nurse. "You black huzzy,
why didn't you tell me, then ?" and the infu
riated mother gives Dinah a punch in the
chops with her shoe. "Why-, he wants to put
his foot into dat pan ob graby," whimpered
the unfortunate darkey. "Well, why don't
you bring it here, you aggravating nigger ?"
replied the mother of the bawling little one.
Dinah brings the pan with the gravy, and
little Sim put his hare feet into it, and dashes
the Wilk-warm grease about his sweet little
shanks, to the infinite gratification of his
mamma, who tenderly exclaimed, " Did mam
ma's little Simmy want to put his teeny wee
ny tootles in the gravy? It shall paddle in
the pan as it soysey vooseys, and then it shall
have its poozey red frock on, and go and see
its PaPPY PaPPY-"
AN ELOQLTENT EXTRACT.-" Generation af
ter generation," says a fine writer, "have
felt as we now feel, and their lives were as
active as our own. They passed away like
a vapor, while nature wore the same aspect
of beauty as when her Creator commanded
her to be. The heavens shall be as bright
over our graves, as they are around our
paths. The world will have the same attrac
tions for our offspring yet unborn, that she
once had for our children. Yet a little while
and all this will have happened. The throb
bing heart will be stilled, and we shall be at
rest. Our funeral will wend its way, and
the prayers will be said, and we shall be left
behind in the silence and darkness of the
tomb. And it may be but fur a short time
that we shall be spoken of, but the things of
life will creep on, and our names will be for
gotten. Days will continue to move on, and
laughter and songs will be heard in the room
in which we died ; and the eye that mourned
for us will be dried, and animated with joy,
and even our children will cease to think of
us, and will remember to lisp our names n
more.
The Investigator tells a good story of
the great "revival" in Wisconsin. Among
the converts was one whose previous profes
sion had been "three card monte." Times
being somewhat hard, he found little profit
in his legitimate "practice," and became
"converted," as the elders say. One night,
at the suggestion of an elder, he rose to edify
the congregation with his experience, and
thus "delivered" himself : "Ladies and gen
tlemen—l .mean brothers and sisters ; the
Lord has blessed me very much—l never felt
so happy before in all my life—
(e mbar
rassed)—l never felt so happy before in all
my life—(very much embarrassed)—if any,
one thinks I ever did l they cu,n get a lively
bet out of me !"

Appearances Deceitful
In one of the narrowest and dirtiest streets
in Paris, on the ground floor of a crumbling
old house, is the shop of Monsieur Thomas,
a rag merchant. In the back part is a sort
of a glass office, in which an exceedingly
pretty girl not long since transacted the busi
ness of the establishment. This young girl
was Mademoiselle Julies, old Thomas' daugh
ter.
Not a great while ago an elegant looking
young gentleman chanced to pass through the
dirty street, and involuntarily stopped to ad
mire her. The next day he came again, but
it was not chance that brought him there this
time; for, after pausing on the street as be
fore, he entered the shop under the pretence
of asking the way, but in reality to approach
nearer the object of his sudden admiration.
A very few words sufficed to confirm and fits
ten first impressions, and he was about to go
away in a very disconsolate state of mind,
when, in among the old junk which the shop
contained, he observed a pile of old books.
Seizing upon the excuse to prolong his stay,
the young man turned over the tattered re
fuse, and purchased several of the books,
promising the fair saleswoman that he would
from time to time replenish his library at her
establishment. He must have been very stu
dious that day, for early the next morning he
returned and obtained another supply. So,
too, the next, and next, until troubling him
self no longer about the old hooks, he came
and passed much of his time in soft conver
sation at the window of the glass cage, and
finally wound up by asking llr. Thomas to
give him his daughter in marriage. As the
old fellow, without being seen, had witnessed
all that had transpired, and liked the youth's
appearance, he at once granted his prayer,
on condition that the demand should he offi
cial, by the gallant's father. Here was the
difficulty. The father of the lover, M. Georges,
was a dry-goods merchant, having a hand
some store in oue of the most brilliant quar
ters of the city, and he looked for something
better for his son, than a rag merchant's
daughter. However, as there was nothing
better for it, the youth broached the subject
to his parents. At first be was laughed at ;
but as he frequently returned to the charge,
his father and mother, in the hope of divert
ing him by other means from this mad pro
ject, invited Thomas to a family dinner, in
order to talk this matter over. It was hoped
that the ridiculous figure the old man would
cut, and his inability to give his daughter a
respectable marriage portion, would put an
end to the affair.
The invitation was accepted, and the par
ties came. At the dessert the merchant en
deavored to_ jest with old ThomaS and turn
him into ridicule. This didn't seem to work
particularly well, and nothing remained but
to try the financial question. This was Mad
ame George's point, and she commenced by
asking what he intended to give bis daughter
on the day of her marriage.
"0! pray mother," cried young Georges,
who saw the trap, "don't talk about that—
another time—"
" Not at all, young man," interrupted M.
Thomas. "Let us talk of it at once, as your
mother wishes. A little money does a newly
married couple no harm, certainly. If Mad
ame will say how much it is proposed to
give her son, I will try to furnish a like
sum."
"We intend," observed Madame Georges,
with a superb air, "to give our son fifty thous
and. francs, sir."
" 'Well, well," said Thomas, with a shrug,
"I must say I expected better than that for
my little girl's husband ; but as the young
people love each other, I will throw no ob
jection in the way. Julie is my only child,
and on the day of her marriage I shall give
her four hundred thousand francs, money
down."
It may readily be imagined that the Georges
"changed their gait" in a hurry about this
time. But now come another difficulty. Ex
pecting to frighten old Thomas off, Madame
Georges had rather _stretched. the truth in
naming fifty thousand francs as her son's
wedding present, and both she and her hus
band were now very anxious to see their son
so richly married. Sacrifices were made,
and loans negotiated, in order to gather up
the sum mentioned.
Things went on for some time, and the day
of ceremony bad been several times post
poned, when one morning the merchant re
ceived a package containing fifty bank notes
for a thousand francs each, with these
words :
"I see where the shoe pinches, and, for a
trifle, I wont have things drag on any lon
ger. I send you the needful. Another time,
be more candid with your friend, and don't
put on any more airs with poor people.—
On the fifteenth of the next month is the
wedding.

IKE PART IN.GTON ANn Puormsm.—Mrs. Par
tington was much surprised to find Ike, one
rainy afternoon, in the spare room, with the
rag-bag hung to the bed-post, which he was
belaboring very lustily with his fists as large
as two one cent apples.
" What gymnastiness are you doing here ?"
said she, as she opened the door,
lie did not stop, and merely replying
"training," continued-to pitch in, She stood
looking at him as he danced around the bag,
busily punching its round sides.
" That's the Morrisey touch," said be, giv
ing one side a dig, "and that," hitting the
other side, "is the Benicia Boy." She said :
" Stop I" and he immediately stopped after
he had given the last blow for Morrissey.—
`• I am afraid the training you are having
isn't good," says she, "and I think you had
better train in some other company. I
thought your going into compound fractures
in school would be dilatorious to you. I
don't know who Mr. Morrissey is, and don't
want to, but J hear that- he has been whip
ping the Pernicious Boy, a poor lad with a.
sore leg, and I think he should be ashamed
of himself." Ike had read the "Herald,
with all about the great prize fight" in it, and
had become entirely carried away with it.
CHEATING THE PRINTEIL—The other day
we saw several Irish laborers trying to deci
pher a written notice beaded `• Public Sale,"
the notice, although written tolerably plain,
could not be read by the Emeralders, and
they requested us to read it for them, which
we of course did. At the conclusion one of
them turned to his comrades, and remarked;
in a very impressive tone :
" 'Well, be Cabers, I'll never buy of a man
who's so nagardly that he won't get his ad
vertisements printed ; he's chated the printer
and he'd chate me." They all acquiesced in
his decision.—Ex.
Down East there resides a certain M.
D. One very cold night he was aroused front
his slumbers by a very loud knocking at his
door. He went to the window and asked:
Who's there?"
" Friend."
" What do you want ?"
"Want to stay here all night."
" Stay there, then," was the benevolent re
ply, and down went the sash.

miles an hour, it becomes a hurricane, and
at one hundred, a tornado.
