To accommodate the band

And the -noblest of the land;
Were done brownl
Three miles oft" afloat .
Lay.the steamers oh the brine
The hour to sail for the Review .
The tickets said was nine.
But 'twfl s .twtlvo.ihat April morn by the chime
Ere they drifted on their path,'
Dusty and tired, to death
And Roebuck in his w rath
Was sublimol
Even Wood himself had blushed .
To have looked upon the scene: - -
In tho Harlequin were crushed
Bishop and Duke, and Bean!
"Its a Juke," Lord liranyille cried When each gun
Ueard afar, with "hip, hips,"
Told Ihe Queen had passed the' ships,
And Lord Campbell's solemn lips
Sajd "We'er dond" .
Again again again I '
.And the 3fVant pace grew alack; .'

THE SHANTY.
This is our castle I enter in,
Sit down and be at home, Sir,
Your city friend will do, I hope,
As TraTelers do in Rome, Sir,
Tis plain the roof is somewhat low,
The sleeping room but scanty,
Yet to the Settler's eye you know,
Ills castle, is his shanty.
. The famine fear we saw of old,
Is like a nightmare over,
That "Wolf will never break our fold :
No r round the door way hover,
Our swine in droves tread dowi the brake,
.Our sheep bells carrol canty, '
' Last night yon salmon swam the lake
That .now adorns our shanty.
The bread we break it is our own, '
It grew around my feet, Sir,
It pays no tax to Squire or Crown
Which makes it doubly sweety Sir, '
A woodman leads a toikome life,
. And a lonely one I grant ye, "
Still with his children, friend and wife
How happy is his shanty.
No feudal Lord o'erawcs'us here, '
Save the ever bless'd eternal,
To Him is due the fruitful year,
Both Autumnal and vernal,
"We've reared to him down in the doll,
A temple. neat and scanty, ' ' " '.
And we can hear its blessed bell
On Sunday la our Shanty.
This is our Castlei- enter in

A" gentleman in Kentucky, wno was
doing well, but wanted to do better, re
moved to a- farther-tf estern "State;: and
m answer to a '.correspondent, wrote
back the following flattering account of
the "ked ntry and - its inhabitants :
"You ask me bow I like this country
and the people thereof. As for the
! country, the. land is- as !cbeap as dirt,
and good-enough; uf tho climate -13
rainv. blowv and sultrv. The people
die so fast here that every man has his
third wife, and every woman is a widow.
As for the people, they are perfect
Christians. They fulfil the Scriptures
to the letter, where' it says,. 'Let God
be true,but every man aliar !'." Thats
a charming section of Uncle bamuel s
domain; isn't it?- By the by,-this re-
minds us ot avery clever tning we una
in General ; Clark s journal, the .Bur
lington Vt.) Free Press, in the shape
of a letter from , a gentleman in W is
I consin to a . friend . who had asked for
various information .as to the country,
its climate, productions, etc., etc. In
his reply, he "lumps" these with.a'great
deal of humor." W e annex a tew:
"Among the game are to be found
the domestic fowl, the .swallow, crow,
and. blue-jay; and, in mid-summer, the
night-hawk- and screech-owl.
The animals hunted lor their lur are,
I the cat, the chip-muhk, and stray dogs
those chiefly esteemed for their flesh
1 are, the musk-rat, . skunk, and wood-
chuck. .- . .
The principal articles" .of consump
tion are pork, white beans, apple sarse
and rye-whisky. -
. The principal articles of import are
dried apples, buffalo-coats, tea, tobacco,
cotton-cloth, molasses, bogus cigars,
and spoilt oysters.
The articles of export are lew, being
only such things- a3 they don't want
themselves; the principal are, convicts
to Auburn and Sing-Sing prisons, and
I emigrants to California. . . .
The chief productions . are white-
headed children, Which in time grow
to be lumbermen, pedlars, deacons,
squires, politicians, and rogues.
. Their means ol getting a living are
ingenious and varied; the most ostensi
ble, however, is "dickering," at which
they are very expert, "swopping horses,
trading cattle, and getting boot.
JLneir cmei, amusements in winter
are, Keeping up a nre, waicning -tne
weather, going " to funerals, whittling,
and breaking steers. In summer these
I are varied by getting out manure,
hoeing corn, acting as scare-crows, and
"getting
down sick
eating .
green
apples.
The range of domestic duties is con
fined altogether to chance and the
women folks. ". -. .
Their principal business, an impertir
nent interference with' other people's
affairs, to the entire -neglect ol their
own, exaggerating evil reports, throw
mg'oDstacies in tne-way pi public im
provements, talking politics, and doing
chores. The young leave the parental
roof at a tender "age, and commence
on their own hook, peddling pop-corn,
ginger-bread, and molasses-candy
The climate is a cross between Lap
land and Siberia not quite so cold as
the one and a. good deal colder than
the other,' but healthy,1 The principal
diseases are lame" stomach, delirium,
tremens, and "folks is-sick."
The articles of luxury most esteemed
are, salt cod-fisH, dried pumpkins," and
woolen gowns.
The articles of furniture are, a cook-
stove, mop-pail; and wash-tub.
Their farming implements consist of
an axe, a hoe, a log .'chain, generally
hooked, and a jack-knife.
Their education is confined to writing
their names, guessing off hogs, and
making axe-helves. .
Their moral and religious ideas, are
vague and loose. . They generally live
to a green old age, and die "as green as
they lived. '
Their principal places of resort are,
the platforms of railroad depots, bar
rooms, justices' courts, and public and
private ofaces, where- they have no
business.
Their habit3 are' predatory and mi
gratory

Take half a pound of new made
Butter free from salt one pint of the
juice of the Poke root(which some call

fire until the water is all out. Then
as.it is cooling stir it a little at intervals,
to keep the Powder from sinking.

In the lives of the saddest of us there

the character of tho age by the vices

A few short years perhaps you . may .
resret him whom you once thought
full of truth and worth. You may re-
gret the low yet . happy voice that;
breathed a fond heart's welcome when
we met. You may sometimes tliinlc '
of your young bosom's choice, out still
a few short years and you'll forget.
You. will forget me! Other arms will
wreathe around vour angel's form' in,

loving joy." A balmy breath may over
you softly breathe. A snowy hand '
amid your dark locks toy. The nest
ling of that soft hand within yours '
may then perchance a thought . of me.
beget. You will think of long past
scenes' and happier hours, and sigh .
perhaps, but then you will forget.--
You will forget me. You will turn to
eyes swimming in radiance, jetty black
or brightly blue as heaven's own azure
shines, and then your memory will
wander back to him you once adoredr
to those fond eyes wherein a depth of.
untold love was lit. A dream of your
poor early love will rise. A tear may
fall, but then you will forget. But
years may pass, long weary years.
Mountains may build, up space twixt
thee ' and me; but oh! my love will '
