A New Song to an Old Tune.
When John Bull's pocket is touched, he is gen
erally surly and sulky, and in few instances con
tents himself with reprisals in the shape of so good
natured a squib as the following. Having heard it
sung, with the accompaniment of some merry
laughter, we begged the MS. from the author, and
print it in the hope that it will amuse on both sides
of the Atlantic, though it hits pretty hard at the doc
trine of Repudiation.—Ed. L. G.
Yankee Doodle borrowscash,
Yankee Doodle spends it,
And then lie snaps his fingers at
The jolly flat that lends it.
Ask him when lie means to pay,
He shows no hesitation,
But says he'll take the shortest way,
And that's Repudiation !
Omens—Yankee Doodle borrows cash, &c.
Yankee vows that every State
Is free and independent ;
And if they paid each others debts,
There'd never be an end on't.
They keep distinct till settling' comes,
And then throughout the nation,
They all become United Staten,'
To preach Repudiation!
Lending cash to Illinois,
Or to Pennsylvania,
Florida, or Mississippi,
Once was quite a mania.
Of all the States 'tie hard to say
Which makes the proudest show, sirs,
But Yankee seems himself to like
-The State of 0-1-Ows, sirs !
The reverend joker of St. Paul's
Don't relish much their plunder,
And often at their knavish tricks
Has hurl'd his witty thunder.
but Jonathan by nature wears
A hide of toughest leather,
Which braves the sharpest pointed darts,
And CANNONS put together!
He tells 'em they are clapping on
Their credit quite a stopper,
And when they want to go to war
They'll never rake n copper.
If that's the case, they coolly say,
Just as if to spite us,
They'd better stop out dividends,
And hoard 'ern up to fight us!
What's the use of money'd friends
• If you must'nt hleed 'em
Ours, I guess, says Jonathan,
The country is of freedom !
And what does freedom moon, if not
To whip your slaves at pleasure,
And borrow money when you can,
To pay it at your leisure!
Great and free A nwrikee
With all the world is vying.
That she's the land of PROM Ise
There's surely no denying.
But he it known henceforth to all,
Who hold their 1. 0. U., sirs,

all, to think that yer mother, just out of divilment,
should be putting betwixt us, for no reason on earth,
only to 'spite' her lawful husband, is what sets mo

'Stop, Mister Morris,' exclaimed Norah, laying
her hand upon his mouth, so as effectually to pre
vent a sound from escaping—'it's my mother yo're
talking of, and it would be ill-blood, as well as ill

and sines you were the height of a rose-bush ye

Do, Norah, for the sake of our young heart's love,

If yo'd take me without her leave, sure it'. nothi,--•
I'd care for loss o' thousands, let alone what yew,
got. Dearest Norah, think; since you'll do nothing
without her consent, do think—fur once be serious
and don't laugh.'
It is a Act, universally known and credited in
the good barony of Bargy, that Morris Donovan
possessed an honest, sincere and affectionate heart—
brave as a lion and gentle as a dove. He was,
moreover, tine priest'. nephew—understood Latin as
well as the priest himself; and better even than that,
Ito was the beau, the Magnus Apollo, of the
parish; a fine noble-looking fellow, that all the
girls (from the house-keeper's lovely English niece
at Lord Gort's, down to little deaf Dm Mortican,
the lame dress-maker) were regularly and despe
rate!) ia.lpcetwith ; stilt, I mt•st confess he was at
times a little stupid—not exactly stupid either, but
slow of invention--would fight his way out of a
thousand scrapes, but could never get peaceably out
of one. No wonder then, that where fighting was
out of the question, Ito wao puzzled, and looked to
the ready wit of merry Norah for assistance. It
was not very extraordinary that he loved the fairy
creature—the sweetest, gayest of all Irish girls—
light of heart, light of foot, light of eye--now wee
ping like a child over a dead chicken or a plundered
neat; then dancing on the top of a hey-rick, to !hi.
music of her own cheering voice—now coaxing her
termagant mother, and anon comforting bee
pecked father. Let no one suppose that I have
over-arawn the sketch of my BIIIIIIOW lass; for al
though her native barony is that of Bargy, the two
may be considered as wedded and become ove.--

then, my jewel, she turned like sour milk in d !tin
ute. I'm afraid even the priest 'ill get no good of her:
Father, dear hither,' said Nandi, suppose ye
were to say nothing about it, good or bud, and just
pretend to take a sudden dislike to Morris, and let
the priest speak to her himself, she'd come round.'
Out of opposition to use, eh I'
Yes.'
i And let her gain the day, then?' that would be
cowardly,' replied the farmer, drawing himself up.
No, I won't.'
, Father, dear, you don't understand. said the
cunning lass; sure ye're for Morris; and when we
are—that is, if—l mean--suppose—father, you
know what I mean,' she continued, and luckily the
twilight concealed her blushes— , if that took place,
it's
.yors that would have yer own way.'
''!'rue for ye, Nory, my girl, true for ye; I never
thought of that heroic !' and, pleased with the idea
of , tricking' his wife, the old man fairly capered for
joy. , But stay a while—stay, aisy, airy,' he recum
mended, , how am I to manage I Sure the Fiest
himself will be here to-morrow morning early ; end
he's out upon natation now--so there's no speaking
with him--he's no way quick either—we'll be both

'Leave it to me, dear father—leave it all tome;
exclaimed the animated girl ; only pluck up spirit,
and whenever Morris' name is mentioned, abuse
him, but not with all yer HEART, father—only from
theteehow:
When they re-entered, the fresh-boiled potatoes
sent a warm, curling steam to the very rafters of the
lofty kitchen; they were poured into e large wicker I
dish, and on the top of the pile rested a plate of
c y.tse white salt; noggings of buttermilk were fill,tl
0.3 ireaser ; and on a small round table a cloth
was sp:c.r.i, and so:ne plates awaited the more j i

preparing.

'So I did,' said Barney, grinning; and that

in the world for knock:ng 'ern down.'
If Morris Donovan's stick touched them, they
shan't come here,' said the farmer, striking the poor
little table such n blow, with his clenched hand, as
made not only it, but Mrs. Clary, jump.
'And why so?' asked the dame.
Because nothing heloning to Morris, let alone
Morris himself, shall come into this house,' replied
Clary;' he's not to my liking, nny how, and there's
no good in hia bothering here after what ho Won't

never hod the heart to h'e yet, ye poor old snow t'--
So saying, Mrs. Clary endeavored to rescue from
the fire the hissing remains of the burning snipes.
Norah attempted to assist her mother; but Clary, lift
ing her up, somewhat after the fashion of an eagle
raising* golden wren with its claw, fairly put her out
of the kitchen. This was the signal for fresh hostilities.
Mrs. Clary stormed and stcmped, and Mr. Clary
persisted In abusing, not only Morris, but Morris'
uncle, Father Donovan, until at last the tarmeer
help-mate swore, ay, and roundly too, by cross
and saint, that before the next sunset, Noralt Clary
should be Norah Donovan. I wish you could have
seen Nory's eve, dancing with joy and exultation,
as it peeped through the latch-hole;—it sparkled
more brit•htly than the richest diamond in our mon
arch's crown, fct it .vcr filled with hope and love.
' Not in the least as lo essktials. You wag
ger and drink wine in company of your own choos

then wine, in company which I like butter than
your company. You make thousands a day per

happy at night. You dresa in new clothes; I am
just as comfortable in old ones, and have no trouble
in keeping them from soiling ; If I have less prop.;
erty than you, I have less to care about; if fewer

a shadow un the pavement--I am as great an you.
Besides take my word for it, I have fewer enemies,
meet with kwer loaaee. carry as light a heart, and
sing as many songs as the beat of you.'
And then,' said the banker, Who hail all along
tried to slip in a word edgeways, is the contempt
of the world nothing to you!'
'The envy of the world is as bad as its contempt
--you have perhaps the one, and I share of the
other. Wu aro matched there, too. And besides;
the world deals in ihistnatter equally unjust with us
both. You and I live by our Wits instead of by our
industry ; and the only difference between us in
this particular worth naming is, that it costs society
more to maintain you than it does me—l am con
tent with a little, you want a great deal. Neither
of us raise grain or potatoes, or manufacture any
thing useful, we therefore add nothing to the com

The Beggar and Banker.
A EFFORT FOIL THE MINT.
'Stand out of my way.' said a rough voice un
der my window, one day as I sat musing over the
bustling scenes below me, at my lodgings.
Your honor will please to recollect,' replied a
sharp but somewhat indignant voice, your honor
will please to recollect that I am a beggar, and have
as much right to the road as yourself.'
And I aul a banker,' was retorted still more
gruffly and angrily.
Amused at this strange ahadoi : . I leaned over
the case, and beheld two citizens in the position
which a pugilist would denominate noticed, their
countenances somewhat menacing, and their per
sons presenting a contrast at once ludicrous and
instructive. The ono was a purse proud, lordly
mannered roan, apparently in silk, and protecting a
caress of nearly the circumference of a hogshead ;
the other a ragged and dirty, but equally impudent
and self-important personage; and from a compar
ison of their countenances, it would have puzzled
the most profound M.D. which of their rotundities
was stored habitually with good victuals or drink.
Upon a close observation, however, of the coun
tenance of the banker, I discovered, almost as soon
as my eye fell upon it, a line bespeaking something
of humor, and awakening curiosity, as he stood
fixed and eyed his antagonist, and this became more
clear and conspicuous when he lowered his' tone
and asked
