For tli’ ri-niiiaiit of your years,
The thing which I*'raiikliii used to call
A “half a pair ofshears;”
Pray let. me wliispcr in your ear
_ A word of good advice-—
Don’t think to find _perfcctiu/2 here,
And be not over nice. V
Take warning by my cousin Jack,
Nor in his footsteps tread ;
Oll. l'l0\\' l’\'e teased and talked to hiin,
And tried to make him wed !——-
But. heis so pur.‘iralar,
So $11}/of all the fair,
He'll be a blue old Bachelor
In spite of all my care.
IIe’ll never screw his courage up,
And go a trip of wooing.

That, to his keen illS[)(3€.‘l'lt)lI,
W’ill not his standard fall below——
The stziiidard of licifcclio/i.
One is in height a niouiitain oak;
A second like a tub;
A third has got a nianmiotli fool ;
Aiiother’s rinse is snub.
One cannot bake, or brew, or sweep ;
Another cannot play;
Aiiotlicr's alvvays in the suds;
Another quite too gay.
Miss A good dough-nuts cannot make;
Miss 13 is said to paint;
Miss C is wilder than the winds;
Miss D loo inucli a saint;
Miss E is careless in her dress ;
Miss F is too pi'ecisc ;
Miss G is prone to take Scotch snuff;
Miss 11 is fond of dice.
Miss I is silent as a doll ;
Miss J a perfect parrot;
Miss K has llaxcn colored locks;
Miss L’s are like a carrot. ;
Miss M is always looking gluni ;
Miss N forever giggling;
Miss O is stili'ci' than ii stake;
Miss P is loose and wriggling.
Miss Q is cold as wintry ice ;
Miss II. too fund and liiwuing;
Miss S has got defective tcotli ;
Miss T was caught a yawning ;
Miss U for eyes has got an owls;
Miss V a pair that squint;
Miss ’\ ”s teniper’s soft as \vax ;
Miss X’s stool and flint.
Miss Y is past a certain age;
Miss Z a thoughtless IHISS ;—
And so with all some fault he finds,
Nor fancies that. nor this.

ESDAY, oo'roi3i3a 21, 1846.
‘Do you think you can execute a ‘barrel
niovemcnt,’ boys I‘ said an Orderly belong-
ing to the mess.
‘\\'liat is it like-l.’ was the general in-
quiry. I
‘simply tl.i.s,’ says the Sergeant; ‘tlie
Commissary General is landing stores
down at the I)t'u('.ll, among \\’l)l('ll is some
first rate brandy for the officers, and if we
could only iuake one of his half barrels
kccp stop in a hollow square, we might
easily execute the new inurcl. of barrel
movement.’ ’
All the mess expressed tlienisclves rvady
for duly istauter; and, having added a
few more rank and file to the enterprise,
off they started on a cominciidably earnest
march, to practice the new drill. The
hollow square was adniirabl_v formed and
re-formed half a dozen times before they
reached the l')l‘llCl’l, and, advancing in line
towards the con'iniissary’s slo es, with a
rapid cvolution they formed around a liqn
or ca~k, an(l comnicuced their march back
across the island. 'l he drill was new full of
iutei'cst——it was new—and one of the lieu-
tenants, attracted by the strange l'Yl2]ll(3u-I
vering, approached them just as they were
forming a li.-llow square countcrinarcli.
He observed one of the men carrying two
muskets, and thought it queer, but a glance .
at the centre of the squad explained the
secret. A strong volunteer was keeping.
the barrel rolling in tlie inside—tliey were
representing a square, retreating with:
stores, and it was really beautiful, the skill,
with which they did it! Now the barrel-
roller would get tired, and the squad would
counter march while another took his
place; again a discovery would threaten,
and they would close up to receive a
charge of cavalry, and thus, moving with
caution and steadiness, they reaclied a
small sand hill in the rear of the camp.
Now commenced brilliant slow move-
ments, all in one spot, which were follow-
ed by the squad forming line again, and
moving into camp. At the spot where
the square broke, a fresh liillock of sand
might have been discovered, by those only,
however, \\ll0 knew the former loveliness
of the spot.
The Lieutenant, who had critically
watched the inaneuveriug of the men,
congratulated the Orderly on the perfec-
tionof their drill. The subordinate loo'.ed
him in the eye, and knew, by the slight
curl in the muscles of his face, that he
‘smoked’ the new tactics; so, touching
his cap politely, be asked the officer if,
when they cooked their game, he would
accept a slice.
‘If the cook in your mess seasons it
carefully, and it’s not ove/'do.~.e, I wouldn’t
mind ta.-‘ting it,’ says the Lieutenant.
The Orderly winked,and they seperated.
It was refresliing to an old campaigner
just to s- c how ‘gutter snipe,’ ‘short horn-
ed elk,' and ‘slow deer,’ were disposed of
that evening in the mess which executed
the above described strange drill; and
ever after that night it became a bye
word, when a volunteer was seen moving
in a zigzag fashion, that he was practising
the Legion’s new march, called ‘t/ic barrel
mo.-.-cment.’
L2:/'e's Fi(ful Hour .’-—Vicissitude is the
condition of human existence. We are
all liable to misfortune. Wealth is as un-
certain as the weather. Good fortune has
its ebb; and flows, like the tides of the
ocean. The morning, ushered in by the
spicy gales of prosperity and happiness, is
often followed by howling blasts of adver-
sity, are the going down of the sun. The
half, were served out. 'l 0 those snilled in
the matter of dried beans, we need not ex-l
plain how little effect one liour’s boiling‘
would have upon them. The different.
messes craked away, however, chewed
the hard pebbles up, and left off tlicirl
mealsin a very unsatisfied manner. A"

_ ‘Well,’ says the sentry, ‘that is the lar-,

Jo uncovered it, and there was the snout‘
of as fine a young pig as ever poked his-
noseinto a sivill tub. Both winked at each
other, exchanged quiet grins, and the snipe
was carefully covered and carried to quar-
ters. In a few moments along came
another of the mess, who reported that he
had only secured a liauncb of a ‘slow deer,’
i. e. a young calf; and, to wind up the
captured game of the party, three more up-

.of war upon how to get something to wash
‘down the game, and make the whole affair
the human mind. The man who scorns al
lie is superior to a king. Frankness is the
grand feature of moral greatness, that ex-
torts universal esteem. Evasion, duplicity,
mendacily, are all allied to a base nature.
The hypocrite is more low in the scale ofl

traits of our fallen nature. It is wholly.
incompatible with power, and degrades one ’
guilty of it, below the standard of human-il
ity. At best, life’s but a fitful hour, and»
in that brief spaceit is better to exhalt the,
soul, by the cultivation of the virtues, than‘
to be tortured by the appreliension ofvicis-j

Iiood, under whose malign powcl‘ all the
rest swarm into life. VI/hat a sublime ex-

So [took hold regularly enoug'h,and churn-

me; but looked so nice and sweet about
it, that I felt well p..id. ‘v'cll, when the
next. churning day came along, she did
the sainctliing,aiu:l I followed suit, and
fetched the butter. Again and {igrziin it
was done just so, and I I was regularly in
for it every time. Not a word said, you
know, of course. VVcll, bye and bye, this
begun to be rather irksome. I wanted
she should just ax/it me, but she never did,
save my life. So on we went. At last I
made are.-olve that I wouldn’t churn anoth-

day came, and when my bi'eakfast—slie
always got nice breakfasts—wlien that was
swallowed, there stood the clinrii. I got

as soon have cut my ears off. So I went
fretting and mopiiig round Li.l dinner liour

Bi-3.-\‘1-:F1'l‘S 01$‘ TARIFF To
FARMERS.
Gentlemen dwelt entirely on,/the Lenefitg
of foreign trade. They went altntrether
in favor of importing foreign goods,-
creating a market for the lfcnefit of for.‘
cigncrs. Would our own agriculgm-6
be bcnefitted by such a process as
this .7 Nothing could more effectually di-
vert the benefit from our own people and‘
pour it in’ a constant stream upon foreign‘
labor. No Ainericéin ifiteresf *v't'-'a's” so friucilli
bcnelllled lit’ 11 protective system as that
of agricullure. The foreign market was’
nothing, the home market was everytliifig”
to them; it was as one hundred to one.
'l he tariff gave us the great home mai'l.et,-
while the gentleman’s scheme was to ,.-:e'-'
cure us, but the chance of ti ili’>’."Ie‘i'lr_oi-If
abroad, while it effectually destroys tfié
secure and invaluable market at home.
Gentlemen were very anxious to compete
Willl the pauper labor of Europe. I will
tell them one fact: VVitli all the protection’
we now enjoy, Great Britain sends into’
this country eight dollars’ worth of her
agricultural productions to one dollars’
worth of all our agricultural productions-'
(save cotton and tobacco) that she takes
from us.
This I will prove by the returns furnisli-
ed by Mr. Wal er himself in support of
the bill wliicli he has laid before the Com.’
mittee of Ways and Means. Now, I as-
sert, and can prove, that more than half
the val-..e of all the British mcl'ClIiI'.’!’diSé’
imported into this country consists of ag‘:
ricultural products, changed in form, con
varied and manufacturedinto goods. And:
I invite a thorough analysis of the facts.‘
I challenge gentlemen to the scrutiny.——
Ta' e down all the articles in a store, one
after anotlicr—estiniate the value of tfic
raw material, the bread and meat,and elli-
cr agricultural products, which have on-
l.Cl‘C(l into their f€lbl'lCl.lll0l‘l, and it will be
found that one half andgmore of their val‘-’
ue consists of the productions of the sol
—-agriciiltiiral produce in its strictest sense.
Now, by reference to Mr. Walkcr’s re-
port, it wil. be seen that, for twelve years‘
back, we have imported from Gt. Britain

believe it—slie never greeted me with a
sweeter smile—never had a better dinner
for me on that day; but there stood the»
churn just where I left ii! Not a word
was said, l felt confoundedly cut, and every
mouthful of that dinner seemed as if it
would cliol.-e me. She didn’t pay any re
gardto it, however, but went on _jus; as if,
nothing had happened. Before dnnier was,
over, I had again resolved, and shoving
back my chair,l marched to the chain and
went at it, just in the old way! Splash,
drip, rattle-—I kept it up. As if in spite,
the butter mvcr was so long coming! I
supposed the cream standing so long, had
got warm, so I redonbled my efforts. Ob-
stinate matter; the afternoon were away,
while I was churning. I paused at last
from real exliaustion, when she spoke for
the first time ‘Como, Toni, my dear, you.
/2..-.ve rat.’/ed I/wt buztcr mills quite long
cnoug/L, if it’s only for fun you are doing
it !’ I knew how it was in a flash! She had
bronglit the butter in the fbrenoon, and
left the cliurn standing, with the butter-
iiiilk in. for me to exercise with! _I never
set up for myself in household matters af-
ter that.’

race, the greater portion have their birth

“It would be :1 curious sight to see all

ions of dollars worth of goods, but call it
50 millions, while she took of all our agriu
cultural products, savc cotton and to‘b'ii'd’-'
co, less than 2 1-2 millions of dollars worth.’
Tlius, then, assuming one half the value-’
of her goods to be agricultural, it gives us"
25 millions of her agricultural produce to
2 1.2 millions of ours taken by her which
isyust ten to one; to avoid cavil, I put it-
eight to one. To test the truth of his pdl’
sitioa, he was prepared, iftime permitted,
to refer to numerous facts. But for the
information of gentlemen who are SU'C‘lll‘
great friends to the poor oppressed far-"
mers,l will tell them that wehave impor-
ted yearly, for twenty six years, (so says
Mr. Walker's report,) more than ten mil-
lions of dollars worth of woolen goods.-—
Last year we imported $ 10,666,176‘ wort'lii'_
Now, one halfaiid more of the value of
this cloth was made up of wool, the subsis-
sistence of labor and other agriculturaf
productions. The general estimate is,
that the wool alone is half. The universal-
custom among farmers, when they find‘
their wool manufactured on the shares,-
was to give the manufacturer half the
cloth. Thus we import, and our farmers‘
have to pay, for five millions of dollars-'
worth of foreign wool every year in the’,
form of cloth, mostly the production of
sheep feeding on the grass and grain of
Great Britain, while our own wool is
worthless for want of a mai-Let; and this:
is the policy gentlemen recommend to‘
American farmers. Yes, sir; and not sat-
isfied wilh five millEons,a-they wish to in‘-
crease it to ten millionsa year for foreign
wool. Will gentlemen deny this’! 'I‘h'cy
dare not. They supported-Mr. \Valker’s‘
bill, reducing the duties on woolens nearly
one half, with a view to inczeuse the reve-
nue ; of course, the imports must be doub-
led, making the import of cloth twenty
millions instead often and of wool ten in-‘
stead of five millions of dollars per aar.'trin'.»
This was the plan to favor the-f-rmers,
British farmers, by giving them the Amer-'
ican market. Their plan was to buy every.
thing, sell nothing, and get rich. (A
laugh.) What was true as to the cloth-
was equally true as to everything el'sé.—"

As a still stronger illustration of his ar-
gument, Mr. S. referred to the article of’
iron. Last year, according to Mr.’ Waili-
er’s report,,wc imported $9,043,395 worth
of foreign iron, and its manufactures, most»-
