You us Grimes.
Old Grimes is dead, that good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more;
Hut he has left, a son, who bears
The name tliat old Grimes bore.
He wears a coat of latest cut,
His hat is new, and gay ;
1 le cannot hear to view distress, ;
So turns from it away.
His pants are gaiters, fitting snug,
O'er patent leather shoes ;
I lis hair is by a barbar curled ;
He smokes cigars and chews.
A chain of massive gold is borne
Above his flashy vest ;
His clothes are4belter,; everyday,
Than were old Grimes' best.
Tie wears a gold watch in his fob,
From it hang golden Eeals,
lie daily drives around the town
Behind a horse's heels.
In fashion's court he -constant walk's
Where he delights doth shed ;
His hands are white and very soft,
But softer is his head.
He's six feet tall, no post more straight,
His teeth are, pearly white ;
In habits he is sometimes loose . . . ,;
And sometimes very. tight. l
His manners are of sweetest grace
His voice of softest tone ;
His diamond pin 's the very one
That old Grimes used to own.
His jetty hair conceals his mouth,
His whiskers hides his cheek ;
He has an aunt of Chrisiain mould,
Of temper mild and meek.
A dickey Loll adorns his face,
His neck a scarf of blue ;
He sometimes goes to church, for change,
And sleeps in Grimes' pew.
He dissipates the cash more free ;
Is lavish as the air;
I grieve to hear, from those who know, -
That sometimes he vjill swear.
lie has drunk wines of every kind,
And liquors cold and hot ;
Young Grimes is just the sort of man
Old Mr. Grimes was xct.
Xow let us pray old Grimes may stay
His quiet grave within, i
'Twould grieve him much I think to see
The young 'un Epread his " tin."

Uqu....u. jicujjiu a ui manucia.
Every one complains of his memory, but
nobody of his judgment.
Virtue, writes somebody, springs from in
dustry rather than religion. We care not
how pious a man is, let him loaf for a week,
and he will feel the devil in him bigger than
a woodchuck.
The Boston Post thinks that some folks
hearts would make good lap-stones!
A man who gives his children a habit of
industry, provides for them better than by
giving them a "stock of money.
A friend of ours says he would have re
mained single, but he couldn't afford it.
; What it cost him for " gals and ice-cream,"
is more than he now pays to bring up a wife
and eight children. Bachelors should? think
of this.

Tlft First Uaby.
In a new novel, " The Glenns," recently
published, occurs the following striking pic
ture of domestic felicity, which will be read
with great interest.
" If the baby was asleep, no one was allow
ed to speak except in a wisper, on pain of in
stant banishment, the piano was closed, the
guitai was taboed, boots were interdicted and '
the bell was muffled. If Mr. Vincent wishes
to enjoy a quiet cigar, he must go out of the ,
house, lest the smoke might hurt 'the baby;' j
and, lest the street door might disturb its slum- j
bers, he must make his exit by the back way,
and reach the street by the garden gate. J
The doctor was scarcely ever out of the house; '
not because the baby was ill-for indeed iV
was most alarmingly healthy but because ,
she was 'afraid it might be taken with some
dreadful disease, and no doctor near.' If coal

What arc Kisses ?
The Knickerbocker publishes the following,
with the remark that the lines arc for the pe
rusal of young lovers in particular, and not
for "general circulation ;"

years. The applicant was the husband.
