Oft; in the chilly night, Ere slumber’s chain hath bound me, I see by pleasant candle light; The tea things all around me. The cups, the cakes, The china plates, The saucers (some were broken,) The spoons which shone, Now puwiied and gone——- The sweet things eat and spoken—- Thus in the chilly night, Ere I tuck the blanket; round me, No more by pleasant candle light I see it all—-confound me. \Vhen I remember all \Vit.h whom I’ve tea'd together, I’ve seen through brandy fall, Like leaves in wintry weather, I feel like one Whose muflin’s gone, VVhose tea-caddy's deserted By black and green, And who is seen To search for spoons departed. Thus in the chilly night, VV hen thousand things confound me, Sad nieniory brings by candle light: The old tea parties round me. MISCELLANY. THE POOR/MECHANIC AND THE EXCLUSIVE. ‘Is it possible, that you, llarriet, have assumed the resposibility of pledging your heart and hand to a poor shiftless mechan- ic, without soliciting my advice,’ observed an aristocratic old lady (who had suddenly risen from poverty to affluence) to an amiable and beautiful creature, just bad- ding iiito womanhood, who was for distant front the hottie of her childhood and under the guardianship of an arbitrary old aunt who valtied persons according to their possessions, and not according to their moral and intellectual worth. ‘Whenl first became acquainted with William Malcolme, who was introduced to me by a relative in whom I have unwaver- ing confidence, I sought and obtainei the advice of my mother, who happened to be in this neighborhood at the time. She made particular inquiries respecting my friend, and when she discovered that he was an intelligent and honorable gentle- man, no objections were presented against my associating occasionally with him.- Our friendsliip became affectionate in re- gard to each other. \\’e have been en- gaged several months and now the wed- ding day is appointed.’ A gentleman, a journeyman mechanic. What a refined taste you possess to marry a mechanic! Do yoti design to annoy and disgrace yourconnections by marry- ing a young man who works for a living’! What :1 goose of a girl thus to throw your- self away,’ said the old woman. I do not call every upstart who can wear a moustache, drive a tandem, swear in Latin, and swallow wine by the bottle, and spend a forttine in half the time his father accumulated it, a gentleman. William is sober, steady and industrious, and he is respected by all who are acquinted with him,’ remarked Harriet Lee, for that was the young latly’s name. ‘It ma es me think of throwing pearls before swine,’ continued the haughty old aunt. ‘You are rather pretty, and your attainments are superior to the accom- plishments of most girls of your age. How can you for a moment indulge in the idea of connecting yourself for life with such an illiterate and vulgar fellow.’ ‘VVilliam is neither vulgar nor illiterate. He is a welcome guest in many of the best circles in society, and although self-taught he is quite familiar with the classics. I read several effusions from his pen with intense interest long before I became ac- quinted with him. _ ‘If you will endeavor to forget him and encourage the attentions of Doctor Bond, _or Capt. Rogers, or ’Spuire Ledger, 1 will make you a present of a splendid set of jewelry and a fashionable dress, and if‘you should be so fortunate as to win the affec- tions of either of these gentlemen, you shall have a good sitting out when you are married, and I will see that your dear un- cle shall not forget you in his will. What (it) you say ?’ inquired the loquacious ad- viser. . ‘I am aware that the persons you speak of are polite, but they are to fond of wine to suit me. I have positively determined never to marry a man who divides his love between myself and his cup, for wealth, learning, talent and genius too often are sacrificed on the altar of intemperance when men pay their addresses to the bottle.’ ‘I declare, you are quite a temperance lecturer. I suppose the gentleman is a long-faced straight-laced cold-water man,’ said the olzl lady with a contemptuous sneer. ‘I am surprised,’ said the intrepid girl, blushitig to the temples. ‘I am surprised- and grieved to hear you speak so scoffing- ly of persons who have promised to be sober, and have to work for a living. You know that Pa is a mechanic and a capital one he is too, and you know that uncle is a sash mat. er. I’ have heard him say that you in your younger days, used to pound putty when he could not afford to hire help. Since you have married a mechanic, why do you object to my connecting my- self with ii working man 1’ " ‘You impertinent. huzzy ; how dare you speak to me _in that way in my own house. Your father. was an extensive land owner, and your uncle is presideiit of the best bank in the city.’ ; is ‘ ! ‘Aunt, I do not intend to insult you, nor injure the feelings of my uncle. You iknow he shaved wood before he commenc- -ed shaving notes, and that deserted, dilap- idated old building was both wot shop and dwelling. And I have heard you speak of the balmy period of your days being !spent in that house.’ ‘Harriet, leave my house this moment, and never darken my door again, at your l v 9 peril. Let us leap with a bound over the peri- od of a dozen years. In yonder old house situated in the suburbs of the city of M-- may be seen the wreck of a miserable man. His eyes are gorged with blood, ,his face is begrimmed with firey pimples. He is afflicted with a thirst, water cannot extinguish. His credit and character are gone. He is a wretched drunkard. His pale-faced broken hearted wife stipports the amiable and accomplished physician who might have crushed the hopes of Harriet Lee, had she followed the advice of her proud and ignorant aunt. Now look through the telescope of fancy down, down through the blue waves. In yonder carol cave wrapped in a shroud of sea- weed, are the remains of the proud and generous captain. Ifhen he was intoxi- cated he struck the mate with amarlin spike. The mate retaliated; a battle fol- lowed in which the unfortunate btit once promising young man was killed. His widow and child are left penniless. Go to yonder grave-yard. At one end of a small tnound of earth on a plain stone isa name Harriet Lee might have had poor L. He was a princely merchant, but his dissipated habits caused him to neg- lect his business. He. failed, and then he fled to the bowl for relief and he died in ii lit of delirium tremcns in the alms-housc. ’Twas on a bright and beautiful day in the month of t\!ay,that one of the splendid steamers which ply between New York and Albany, was crowded with beauty and makes ’em; and you like fat pork, why shouldn’t yoti like.wl_iat makes pork fat’! So'—so-—steady !” “Now I‘ll tell you all about t’other night. I was passing your box in a friendly pro- miscuous sort of it way, I thought you were asleep, or had run down, and I turn- ed the key to wind you up, it can't. ei.ber eep good time, or even go.” “Well, what else I” “Vl’hy, then I watched the box, and when you come out, I boxed the wn,tcli.—- That’: all. It grew out of my obliging disposition.” “I-la! very ol.liging. Now it’s my turn to wind you up, and do it in the same way, l’ll take you befo e t..e watch maker to be cleansed and regulated.

Hav’nt I got an office, or at least a public station, here on the steps 7 lfl must go it shall be on the Yankee prin- ciple of rotation; bring me it wheel-bar- row! Reform me out regularly.” It was procured and away they went. “So we go,” said Mervyn, “Chat-ley‘s making a barrow night of nie.—Gently over the stories! I donit like bombers, except when Iget them of porter. This the way to Wheeling-—htirrali! cart before the horse! Arriving at the watch house, he insisted fashion. The delighted passengers were gazing with astonishment and admiration at the sublime scenery which nature spread with a lavish hand on both sides of the Hudson——when their attention was arrest- ed by tl.e unexpected but welcome sound of the dinner bell. A rush was made at the table which was loaded with the deli cacies of the season. At the head of the table sat a man somewhat advanced in life. The hand of time had scattered the snow of age over his hair and seamed his brow with wrinkles. The next seat: was occu- pied by his companion n prime old lady sparkling with the gew-gaws of fashiona- ble folly. A clergyman present invoked a blessing on the good things the hand of Providence had spread before the travelers. Just as the waiters were commencing their labors, the captain entered the cabin accompanied by a lady and gentleman of high standing in society and politely re- quested the old sash-maker and wife to allow the Hon. William Malcolme, Senator from the State of , and his distin- guished lady to occupy the head of the table. So the mortified Exclusives after exchanging significant glances gave up their seat to the talented mechanic and Harriet, his accomplished and amiable companion. >- A QUEER CUSTOMER. “It is most amusing,” said Richard Mer- vyn, as he relinquished the attempt to rise from the gutter, at the corner of and streets. “It is realfy astonishing how soon this dreadful climate ofAmerica brings on old age. I shall never survive to get home and write a book about the place—never. Here I am, six feet two, withotit my stockings, sprawling in a re- publican gutter, without being able to help myself out of it. There’s a lamp winking and blinking in my face, as if it wants to laugh, and would ifit had amouth, and it big brute of a dogjust now nosed me to see whether I was good _to eat. VVhat a, country! what gutters! and what liquors !; I only took nine smallers of whiskey, and what with that and premature old age, I verily believe I am assassinated--I am a one chicken!” Mr. Mervyn clrimored so loud that as- sistance soon came. “Silence there—what’s the matter l” “Matter yourself——l’m being done, or as some people say, I’m doing. The match of mind has tripped, and Richard Mervyn is too deep for himself. Help me out- geiitly—there. Ain’t I in a pretty pickle ’! This is what the doctor calls gutta serena- upon being wheeled up stairs, and styled the place a barrow-nial castle. ‘‘I’m a modest man,” said l.e, “and no stnirer. If I can't have a ride up lthink myself enti- tled to a draw-back.” So saying, he at- tempted to escape, btit was soon caught, being, as he said, “like Goldsmith’s works, beautifully chased.” The punster was carried aloft, and next morning, sober and penitent, paid his tipsey fine and his car- riage hire with a doleful countenance: A scene ofsome merriment took place ofthe piazza of one ofour Hotels during the warm weather of last summer. Among a company of three or four who were there seated, one ofthe number became some- what drowsy and gave himself up to the indulgence ofa nap in his chair. Accor- ding to the usage of stich occasions, his head tilted back, and his countenance opened to rather an immoderate extent. This was looked upon by the flies, so nu- merous tit that season, as‘un invitation for a frolic. The little tormentors performed their gyrations alout the crater of the yawning cavern, in the most inimitable and amusing manner, apparently ‘reveling in the ftin they were makitig for themselves and the company. Occasional y when the torture was too severe, the head would “fetch tip,” and the mouth close so sud- detily as to induce the idea that it was per- forming the functions of a trap for the punishment of totnenters. This sport was enjoyed for some time, when the head was prepared for another, and as it seemed a more deteriiiitied effort. At that partic- ular crisis, when poised for the fatal clasp, intent only on its successful accomplish- ment, u wag of the company, cried out boisterously— “take care——you’ll get ti mouthful." The head started in alarm to an erect position, the eyes glared wildly round, while bewilderment reigned for the moment, triumphant. The hearty laugh which broke out, soon brought returning carelessness, and the merriinent became general, even to the sleeper. This brings to mind a scene similar in some of its attributes to the above. In- stead of a tavern, it took place in church, during the season of service. A chap of unsual capacity of mouth, had taken a po- sition on a wall seat in the gallery-the highest and most conspicuous in that part of the house, and throwing his head back against a post that stood a little out from the wall, and soon was in the enjoyment of a comfortable snooze. In the general relaxation of muscles, the chin‘ lopped upon the breast. It is said that “attitude am it not 1” “When I was at school, the boys would have called you :1 gutteral.” mer if they did. I’m aliquid—do you see me drip ’!” “Oh, ho!” said the watch, “don’t try to be funny; I know you well enough, now you have washed your face. You’re the chap that locked me up in my box once, and when I burst open the door, you knocked me heels over head, and legged it.” “That’s me. I did the thing,.. How do you like the ups and downsiofipublic life !_ Isn’t. variety charming I” “If it wasn’t that I’m a public functiona- ry, and musn’t give way to my feelings, I'd crack your coca, and case my" mind of doing as I was done by. I’ll make an ex- ample of you, however. You’re my pris- oner.’. Hally cousin; to the watch ’us.-—.- That’s the Dutch for being took tip.” “Well give us your arm. ' Don’t be “They wouldn’t have known much gram-- is every thing” and this climax of the graceful, accompanied by measured music of the nasal organ, had}: wonderful mirth provoking effect throughout that portion of the assembly which occupied the gallery. The fullness of the joke, ‘however was yet in reserve. In the seat directly fronting the unconscious sleeper, sat a noted wag, who was in the habit of chewing the weed. The idea occurred, and and was about as speedily put into execution. He took from his cheek a quid which would have choked any other ruminating animal but man, and placing it on the fore ground of the open abyss, left the sleeper to his own, and the enjoyment of the congregation. After be- coming sufficiently refreshed, the snooze!’ began to show signs of ,Wal§e,fl1ll_ll9,55o which of course were watched with_ inter- est- Before changing, mater-ially,his con- spicuous position, the distendedjaws were brought together, when the formidable ob- struction, and the tricliling moisture which exchued from it, awoke the subject to his situation’.
