POETRY. From the N. Y. Sunday Mercury, WJIAT I LOVE. MACHINE rOETRY. I love (o see a flock of slieop Alt fecldingon Hie' mountain il love lo see a drunkard drink From out a living fountain; At fiist upon bis knees he gets, And then he sticks his nose in, But soon he slips, and then ker-souic; His head and -shoulders goes in. I love to see, with all my heart, Thotsun shine while'iis raining, il love to see arow Jacked up At a militia training; 1 love to see a table watched By civil, careful waiters; 9 lave to-see them fetch along The biggest kind of taters, ' 2 love to see trTinfluslrious tees All busy making honey, 1 love to Bte a man contrive All ways for making money., i love to see a lot of chaps Engaged in the midnight revel:' I love to see them let out loose, And g it like the devil! I love to hear old women talk- Thty do some lofty talking: I love to see defaulters walk They do some tallish walking: I love to hear at dead of night A glorious caterwauling; And O I love to hear at church A lot of babies squalling. I love to see two colored gents Call one another niggers;' I love to see the ladies run, They cut such curious figures; I love my Betsy more than all I love her, O uost dearly J I love to hug and kiss her oh, It makes me feel so quoerlyl SPOONS, 0. O. From the Village Register MY GIRLISH DAYS. When I was young, I lov'd the boys, And now I love the men, And oh! to taste those early joys, I'd be a girl again. I'd ramble o'er each flow'ry field, To where the berries redden, Some lad would go with me to yield Kind offices unbidden. He'd bring each flower its head that rear'd And help mo o'er the brook, And when a pretty bird appear'd Cry out, oh Sally, look! If a poor cow should frighten me, He'd drive her out of sight; And if a snake we chanced to meet, He'd kill the beast outright! And if in seme unlucky pen, I chanced lo lose my shoe, He'd pull it out, and wash it clean, And my misfortune rue. Arrived where berries deck the lea, Although I should not ask it, He'd find the thickest spots lor me, And help mo fiill my basket. Should saucy thorns ray gown attack, He'd quickly set me free; And if my finger got a scratch, How sorry he would be. And other joys I oft recall, That with my childhood fled, When ceremony o'er them all, Her chilling influence shed, Twelve years had not passed o'er ma then; And now I'vo seen a score; Antl Oh, I'd be a girl again, To taste those joys once more. THE HOME OF THE FARMER. Still let me live among tho hills, The rooks, the trees, the flowers, where I have passed my early years, My childhood's happy hours. How oft beneath Ihe aged oak, Near to my father's dwelling. Have I reposed with kindred youth, uutun f lajriui oiary Idling. The birds above would plume their wings, And raise their happy voices, Ob, sure it is a plea.ant place, vrnere every thing rejoices. Surrounded bv the friends I love. And free from every fetter, I am an independent man, And wish for nothing better, My tittle children round me sport, at rooming, origin, and healthy, I often think that nature's gifts "),? "laufl me very wealthy. My wife is all that she should be, Kind, gentle, preposessing: I'm sure, if ever man was blest, Miat is the greateit blessing. RESPONSIBILITY' OF AN EDITOR, It is astonishing tt observe Ihe peculiar taste that is exercised by a great majority of the reading community in selecting food for mental mastication. When the weekly -street is received, a ruth is made by 'all hands and the cook,' who gather around the one who rpens its folds, and with die (ended ears and open jaws, they demand that the articles first to be read, shall be those relating lo murder, accident disasters by firo or wood.eaithquakos and land-slides The horrid the account the more intently it is devouted, and if an article can be found of some catastrophe, unusually rich in em bellishment, it is a subject which is dilated on for a week. So well aware are some publishers of this strange taste of their readers, that they will, in -case no tragical circumstances has occurred since the issuing of their last sheet, manufacture something horrid, and serve it up in such a style as to cause it to readily pass for truth. And they are not to blamo for this; the fault; if any, is owing to the caprice of subscribers, who demand itat their hands. The editor walks into the eanctum on the morning previous to the dayjof publica tion, doffs his surtout and hat, wipes his spectacles, blows his nose, carefully turns back the cuffs of his coat, sets himself a the table, and enters upon the very solemn perplexing duties incident to his vocation He is aware of the great responsibility of his situation, and, in tho vernacular of the Printer's devif, 'feels his vats.' He care fully peruses the exchange papers, makes a selection of Ihe most important items, flourishes the scissors in a style known only to those of his own calling, handles the paster-spoon with a peculiar tact, and con trives to get through that part of tho busi ness without much fuss or trouble. He then commences an original article, sieres his pen, rolls up bis eyes like a duck in a thunder storm, scowls terribly, and waits for'an idea. When, the idea arrives, down it goes upon the paper in the shape of hiero glyphics, capable of being decyphered only by compositors, He cannot stop cannot lay by his pen for a few minued and in dulge in a lunch or a cigar-for the cry of copy' is heard at intervals ringing in his ears.like the groans of an asthraetic pair of bellows, or the expiring note of a biid or gan, and thelinsatiabte appetite of the prin ter's devil must be satisfied. The world out of doors may have on its holliday garb, and, free from trouble, be sporting with de lighted revelling in the rial) est luxuries of enjoyment; but in doors it wears tho same sombre business countenance, and pins the poor scribbling wight fast to the chair. Copy, sir, Ihe men are standing.' Let them stand and be blessed; there's no copy on the file,' Please, sir, the foreman says how he wants something horrid to put on the fourth page.' 'Something horrid! Confound it, there is nothing of the kind to be found.Suicides are out of fashion steam boilers wont explode, assassins have retired from busi ness, Congress hat adjourned without a duel or a gouging match, stop, and I'll write one.' Child Killed. Yesterday morning, at precisely twenty three minutes past nine o'clock, a small child of Mrs. Gubb, while munching ground nuts, unfortunately swal lowed one which stuck cross wise in the throat, and before the eminent services of Doctor Killcm, which gentleman was im mediately called, could be of any avail, the child unfortunately died. The little crea ture was seen distinctly to kick with his left foot, thirty-nine seconds beforo the final struggle; Child killed!' said Mrs. Smith, as she opened the paper, 'really dreadful. I declare what won't happen next. How vers careful mothers should be.' And down sat Mrs. Smith upon her own 'little responsibility,' not knowing that il was in the chair, and comfortably squeezed the breath out of its body, while she eagerly devoured the fiction of the editor's brain. Ravages of Lightning. Mr. Quimby, the electrician, states that in this country 103 persons, and 109 buildings were struck by lightning during Ihe last season;71 were killed; one cotton mill, four dwelling houses and 24 barns weie consumed, toge ther with many valuable out buildings, and a great amount of hay, grain, horses, &c, How to win a friend.

MITCH tXL. - "- '-!: I've waited long, but'nolin vain.2 T VLi Tho' youth and health are gone, And days of sorrow, nights of pain,. Have found aie still alone. I've waited long for thee! and now Thou corneal back to me; With sorrow on thy furrow'd brow, A wreck from fortune's sea ! But welcome still thou broken one, Tho' nothing's left of Ihee, But that fair name, and thrilling tone, So dear of yore to ffie. Tho' gone tho flush of love's young day, His calmer light will come, To shed a purer, softer ray, On sorrow's stainless home. Thou couldst not know, in brighter days, How much my heart was thine; Il is when suns havo ceased to blaze, That purer planets shin?; . Then let the world frown on, since thou Art true to love and me, And I will fan thy fever'd brow And be a world to thee, Ji Systematic Girl. Mr Bourns, in a lecture at Ihe Farmer and Mechanic Jubilee at Bridgewatcr, (Mass.) humorously illus trated the following account of some domes tics of his hiring. He once hired a very smart girl; she was ever on tho go from early dawn to bed time. After a few years the girl as girls often will found a husband; and quitted earning wages, and Mr. B. was obliged to hire another. But she was so methodical and apparently so slow, his wife was of the opinion she did not earn her wages. True she did alt the work and bad spare time, but she did not seem doing much. He one day watched her progress and found that every movemont was like clock work no misteps were taken; after the fire was made every kettle was proper ly adjusted, and every dish was ready at the proper lime. The table was set while dinner war cooking every thing had its place, and there was not a lacking article of dinner. There was no blustering, and hurrying, and fretting, and skipping to out activity; but every thing was quietly performed in order and in season. On noticing . accurately her mode of doing business, Mr. B. and his wife were both of the opinion this w&s the most valuable help he had hired. This led him to see how some farmers lost time. They would hurry to a distant field and soon find they had left some important tool behind, a boy must be sent for it, and Ihe men must sit and wait. If you desire to enjoy life, aroid un punctual people. They impede business; and poison pleasure. Make it your own rule not only lo be punctual but a little be foiehand. Such a hfcbit secures a compo sure which is essential to happiness. For want of it many people live in a constant fever, and put all about them in a fever too. NEW TURNING Establishment.
