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

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,

I'VE. WAITED1 LONG.
. BY DR. J, K. 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.
