"NOW A DAYS. ' Alas! how etery thing if changed, Since I wa sweet sixiem, 'When all the girla wore homespun frocks, And aprons nice and clean; With bonnets made of braided straw, . That tied beneath the chin, And shawls laid neatly on the neck, Anal fastened with pin. But 1tow a-days the ladies wear French gloves and Leghorn hats, That take up half a yard of sky, In coal hodslupe or Q9 ; "With gowns thav do not fall as low As surh things ought to fall, With waists that you might break in two, Th-y are so very arm 11. I recollect the time when I Rode father' horse t- mill, Across the meadow, ro .ky field, And up and down the h ill; And when our folks were out at work, As trut at I'm a sinner, I jumped upon a horse, bare-back, And carried them their dinner. Dar. m ! young ladirs now a-day Would almoit faint away, Tn tb.uk: of nding one alone, In wgon, chaise, or sUigh; And as for giving 'P-' bis meals, Or helping to bake, Oh saints! Vwoul 1 ajwul their lily han, "Though Sometimes thry make cake.' When winter came, thr maiden's heart Began to beat and fiu'ter, Each beau would tak his sweetheart out Sleigh riding in a cutter ; Or if the storm was blrak and cold, The girls and beaux toge ther, Would meet and have most glorious fun, And never mind the weather. But now indeed, it grieves me much, The circumstance to mention, H wi ver kind a young roan's heart, And honest h s intention, He ne'er can ask a girl to ride, Bat such a war is wgel! And if be sees her once Wcrb, Why surely they're enjrgtd' I never thought that I should try My band at mking rhymes, But 'Us the Why to it probate The prest.nt evil tinv s ; For should 1 preach morality, In common sober prose, They'd say 'twas older than the hills, Or else turn up their nose. I've almost lived my fourscore years, I've got a host of nieces, And have to fix their trumpery So can't write more such pieces; But oh! it mks me almost cry . I don t know whit to do, When now a days 1 tfa-ok upon What loiks are coming to! BATTLE 01 WATERLOO. A very iiitesestmg work, in three volumes, called Stories of Waterloo, has just been published, from whit h the following correct and effective description .of the evening after the dreadful battle which gave liberty to the Continent is extracted. n -ander o'er this bloody field, To doo& our dead, and then to bury thera ; To sort our nobl. s from our common men F.ir mny Lie drowu'd and scak'd in mercenarv blood. Shakspeargs Henry. V The gleam of fading sunshine fell upon the route of Waterloo. '1 he finest army, foi its numbers, that Fance had ever embattled in a field, w as utterly defeated; and the dynasty of that proud spirit tor whom Europe was too little, was over. Night came, but it brought no respite to the shattered army ot N poleon; and the moon rose upon the "broken host," tn light the victors to their prey. The British forgetting their fatigue, pressed on the rear of the flying enemy; and the roads, covered with the dead and dying and obstructed by broken equipages and deserted gu-s, became almost impassable to the fugitives, and hence the slaughter from Waterloo 'o Genappe was frightful. But wearied with Mood (for the French throwing away their arms t expedite their fl'ght, ottered no resistance.) and exhausted with hunger and fatigue, the British pursuit rt laxed gradually aud at Genappe ceased altogether. The infantry bivouacked for the night around the farm houses of Caillon and Belle Alliance, and the light cavalry, some miles further on, halted, and abandoned the work of death to their fresher and more sanguinary allies. Nothing indeed, could surpass the desperate and unrelenting animo?i'y of the Prussians towards the 'French. Repose and plun der were sacrificed to revenge. The memory of the former defeat, insult, and oppression, now produced a dread ful retaliation, and overpowered every feeling of humanity. The vecviciis was pronounced, and thousands besides those who perished in the field fell that night beneath the Prussian lance and sabre. In vain a feeble effort was made by the French to barricade the street of Gen appe, and interrupt the progress of the conquerors. Blucher forced the pas sage with his cannon ; & so entirely had the defeat of Waterloo extinguished the spirit and destroyed the di?cipline of the remnant ef Napoleon's army, that the wild hurrah of the pursuers, or the very blast of a Prussian trumpet, became the signal for fl ght and terror. But although the French army had erased to exist as such, and now (to ust the phrase of a Prussian officer) exhibit rather the flight of a scattered horde of barbarians, than the retreat of a dis ciplined body --never had it, in the proudest d-iys of its glory,shown greater devotion to its leader, or displayed more

desperate and unyielding bravery than during the long and sanguinary battle of the 18th. The plan of Bonaparte's attack was worthy of his martial renown; it was unsuccessful; but let this be ascribed to the true cause the heroic and enduring courage of the troops and the man to whom he was opposed. Wellington without that army, or that army without Wellington, must have fallen beneath the splendid efforts ol Napoleon. While a mean attempt. ha3 been of ten made to lower the military charac ter of that great warrior, who is now no more, those who would libel Napole

on, rob Wellington of half his glory. It may be the proud benst of England's hero, that the subjugator of Europe tell before him, not in the wane of his genius, but in the lull possession ol those martial talents which placed him foremost in the list of conquerors lead ing that very army which had over thrown every power that had hitherto opposed it, now perfect in its discipline, flushed with re ent success, and confident of approaching victi ry. At Genai pe, an l not, a3 generally believed, at La Belle Alliance, Wellington and Blucher met after the battle. The moment and spot were fitting for the interview of conquerors. To Blu cher's fresher troops the task of an una bated pursuit was entrusted ; and Wellington, at midnight, returned to Wa terloo across the cr:mson field which

The bitterly lamented a victorv which had ! old guaid, when the middle battalions

been achieved at the expense of many personal friends, and thousands of his gallant soldiery, When the next sun rose, the field of battle presented a tremendous spectacle J of carnage. Humanity shu.ldered at j the view, for mortal suffering in all its ; terrible variety was frightfully exhibit ed. The dead lay there in thousands; with them human pain and agony were over; but with them a multitude of maimed wretches were intermingled, mutilated by wound, and tortured by thirst and hunger. A few short hours had elapsed, and those who but yesterday h d careered upon the plain of Waterloo in the full prids of life and manhood, were sti etched upon th earth, and many who had led the way to victory, who with xu!ting hearts had cheered their colder comrades, when they quailed, were laid upon the held in helpless wretchedness. Nor was wars mi-ery confined to man. Thousands of wrounded horses were strewed over this scene of slaugh ter. Some lay quietly on the ground, cropping the grass within their reach, some with deep moaning expressed their suffering--; while others muddened with pain, kkYerk'd out their armed heels at their dead masters, killing them twice." When day came, and it was possible to send' relief to the wounded, many circumstances tended to retard the wt 1com succor. The great road to Brussels, from heavy rains, and the incessant passage of artillery and the war equipages, was ?o much cut up, as to materially retard the i arriates employ ed to bring the wounded from the tit Id. Dead horses and abandoned baggage choaked the causewa), and rendered the efforts of Belgic humanity both slow and difficult. Up to the very gates of Brussels, "war's worst resu'ts'' were visible. The struggles of expiring na ture had enabled some to reat h the city. Many, however, had perished in the attempt; and dying on the road side, covered the causeway witb t eir bodies. Pits rudely dug, and scarcely moulded over, received tKe coipses, which daily became more offensive trom the heat; and the same sod, at V e v- rge of the forest, covered ''the horse and his rider." When such evidene of destruction was at a distance from the field, what a display of devastation the narrow field of yt sterday' conflict must have presented! Fancy may conceive it, but description must necessarily be scanty and imperfect. On the small surface of two square miles, it was ascertained that 50 000 men and horses were lying! The luxurious crop of ripe grain wh'ch had covered the held of battle was reduced to litter, and beaten into the earth ; and the surface trodden down by the cavalry and furrowed deeply by cannon wheels, whs strewn wih many a relict of the fighr. Hel mets and curiasses, shattered tire arms and broken swords, all the variety of military ornaments; lancers1 caps and Highland bonnets; unilorms of every color; plume and Pennon ; musical instument, the apparatus of artillery, drums, bugles; but, good God! why dwell on the harrowing picture of "a foughten field !" each and evety ruinous display bore mute testimony to the misery of such a battle. Could the melancholy appearance of a field of death be heightened, it would be by witnessing the researches of the living amidst its desolations, for the objects of their love. Mothers and wives

and children for daV3 were occupied in that mournful duty ; and the confusion of the corpses, friend and foe intermingled as they wereoften rendered the attempt at recognizing individuals difficult and in some cases impossible. In many places, the dead lay four deep upon each other, m irking the spot some British square had occupied when exposed for hours to the murderous fire ot a French batiei v. Outside, lancers and curiassiers were scattered thickly on the earth. Madly attempting to force the serried bayonetsof the British,

they had fallen in the bootless essay, by t!i3 musketry of the inner tiles, t arther on, you traced the pot where the cavahy of France and England had encountered. Chasseur and hussar were intermingled; and the heavy Norman horse of the Imperial Guard were interspersed with the gray chargers which had cairied Albion's cavalry. Here the Highlander and Tirallcur lay, side by side, together; and the heavy dragoon, with Green Erin's" b .dge upon his helmet, was grappled in death with the Poii?h lancer. On the summit of the ridge, where the ground lay cumbeied with dead, and trodd' o fetlock-deep in mud and gore, by the frtquent rush ofriv.l chivalry, the thick strewn torp-cs of the ia'perial G-iard pointed the spot w here the last effort of Napoieon had been defeated. Here, in colu.i.n, that favored corps, on whom his last chance rested, had been forced back, attempted to j meet the I3nli-h, and lioid time lor their disorganised companions to lally. Here the British left, wh ch had con verged upon the French centre, had come up; and here the bayonet had j closed the contest. A GALLANT Among tlu- pasHiigi-r on board the packet fchip G -rg - Canning, on her late vo)agn limn New -Y rk, was a gentleman who had rest Jed some years at New-Orleans, in the capacity of agent for the great Leviathan of the London Stock Erha ge. Fr some action of this gentleman, his fellow passengers conceived that he would be a good subject on whom to play oii a hoas. They determined, therefore, to get up one on thf first favoraS.de opportunity. A susp'u ions looking schooner having one. everting passed close to the packet, a fear was ft i.gnt d by some of them that the s hnoner was a piiate, and that an attack might perhaps be made by the crew, in the course ot the night, on the George Cannin asures were accordingiy taken to give the piiate a warm reception, should the feigned attack actually be made. Whilst the passengers generally were to assist th crew of the packet, the gentleman in question was to remain below to guard the ladies, five in number, from the monsters of pirates. The conspirators h iving prepared the plot, and several of them having dressed themselves in sail 'i' hdhes, the alarm of the ship bei,g attacked by pirates was raised, the put ties d w to their posts, and the first act of the hoax commenced. Upon the deck the deception was carried on by the firing of pistols and the clashing of cutlasses ; whilst two gentlemen, disguised as sailors, and iendered feroch us-loi king by bushy whiskers and shagg) hair, ru:hed down into the cabin, armed with pistols and cutlasses. There they found the hero of the hoax, w ho on seeing his assailants, rushed into the ladies cabin, the fair ones keeping up the deception by screaming most lustily. Here he was seiz d by the supposed pirates, who alter pullit g hirn about, and frightening the poor simpleton nearly out of his senses, ran olf. A loud cheer was now raised on the deck, to maik the defeat of Jhe pirates, the leader of whom, it was afihmed, had been shot dead in attempting to reach the schooner's boat. The second act of the hoax was played cfF on (he rust day. Our hero, who had been congratulated by all his fellow passengers, on the courage he had displayed in defending the fair, was ushered into the presence of the ladies, who, with the ceremonies usually attendant on the bestowal of knighthood in the times of chivalry, made him kneel down before them; they then bestowed on him the honor of knighthood, placing on hi3 head a crown of their own manufacture, and giving him a medal, made by impressing a dollar on a piece of leather on the reverse of which, was an inscriptioi commemorative of his heroic and knightly conduct on the occasion of the packet ship being attacked by pirates. He took the captain's place at the head of the table, wearing the crown on his caput, and proposed the opening of a subscription to reward the crew (or their berric courage in defending the ship, handing out his own ten sovereigns towards the fund! The farce wa? kept up from that day to the end of the voyage, the poor simpleton believing, all the time, that the Gecrge

Canning had been actually attacked by pirates, and that he, by his own personal courage, had savd the ladies from being murdered ! He related the story wherever he went; and to crown the hoax, the Morning Herald, of Thursday, contained an account of the pi-

ratical attack on and plunder of the packet ship Go. Cannii g, on her passage from New-York to Liverpool!
