KING DEATH. by baksy cor wall. King Death was a rare old fellow! He sat where no sun could shine ; And he lifted his hand so yellow, And poured out his coal-black wine. Hurrah! for the coal-bbck wine. There came to him many a Maiden, Whose eyes had forget to shine; And Widows, with grief o'erladen, For a draught of his sleepy wine. Hurrah! for the coal-black Wine! The Scholar left all his learning; The Poet his fancied woes; And the Beauty her bloom returning, Like life to the fading rose. Hurrah! for the coal-black Wine ! All came to the royal old fellow, Who laugh'd till his eyes dropped brine, As he gave them his hand so yellow, , And he pledg'd them in Death's black wine. Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah I for the coal-black Wine! Frorfl the Pittsburgh Manufacturer. OUR YOUTHFUL DAYS.

BY MISS E. BYRXE. Sweet is the hour when o'er the rapturd soul, Seraphic mem'ry hold his bright control, And bid3 the spirit fondly turn to gaze, On all the pleasures of our youthful days. Ah! happy time when life flowed like a . stream, The laughs and blushes in the morning's be dm, Oft shall the heart on Fancy's wings retrace The scenes it felt, in its own native place. Bright as the dew that trembles on the flower, When evening beams succeed the noontide hour; Or sweet as joys that fill the mothers breast, When on her slumbering babe her eyes shall rest, Are tliosc fond visions winch recall the mind, To scenes long past, but on our hearts en-shrin'd.

Mortality of Slaves. It appears from a Statement of Mr. Buxton, just published, that the British Sujjar Plantations are carried on with a fearful waste of human Life. It appears that the total number of slaves in the West India sugar colonies, was 730,112, of whom 339,577 were males and 303,535 females. After a lapse of eleven years, the numbers in the West India Sugar colonies are G78,527, of whom 333,531 male3 and 344,993 females.- In the Mauritius 70,773, of whom 47,G56 are males and 29,117 females. The decrease in the thirteen West India colonies is 47,834;' in the Mauritius, 10,798 ; together 58,001 . But in two colonies there has been an increase, viz: Dominica II. and Barbadoes 3,900; together 5,977; deducting which from the decrease, we have tor the total decrease in the slave population in the sugar colonies, on an average of eleven years, 53,024.

Grumbling. Some people are ever grumbling. If they have not great trouble:, they have little ones to keep tliem fretting, and many would say of them, that they grumble merely for pastime. A fretful disposition, is of no advantage; only makes the possessor and those connected with him miserable. The better way is, always to look on the bright side of things, for we shall meet with trouble enough in the world, without turning out of our way to seek it. Grumbling makes aThard job harder, sours the temper unnecessarily, fatigues the body and mind,

and never facilitates business. A friend of

ours once adopted the following expedient to prevent grumbling among his workmen. It was completely successful, and as he has not obtained a patent right for his method, any and every one is at liberty to try it. Having occasion to employ some stone masons, noted for their habits of grumbling, lie was determined for once to forestall them in their long cherished and favorite propensity. When they appeared, on the first morning, he went cut to show them his materials, and to instruct them as to the manner in

which he wished his work done. He, how- j ever, commenced by finding fault in resular, set terms, with the materials. A Grumbler's vocabulary is soon exhausted, but like other things it can be lengthened by the very simple process of repetition. At first the workmen joined with him, but after a few repetitions of the aforesaid set terms, they inclined to the opinion that the materials were not altogether so bad as he described. After an hour passed in this way, they began to be impatient at the delay, and declared that the stone was as good as any one could - wish, that they were the better judges, and if we would let them commence without further altercation, he would soon be able to judge by the appearance of the work who was in tke right. Having succeeded in the design, he suffered them to go quietly to their business, and to his great satisfaction he heard no grumbling during the continuance of the contract. Barnstable Journal.

From the Spirit of the Times 8c Life in N . York SPITFIRE'S ADVENTURE. I suppose, Mr. Editor, you concur in the generally received opinion, nltorsc-jocldes are rogues ex ojficio, and Yankees rogues from instinct. Now, sir, I am a Yankee horse jockey, and if the opinion before mentioned is correct, you will allow that I am a

fair match for old otic himself. Some dozen or fifteen years since, when horse-racing and trotting matches were not prohibited in Massachusetts, I owned a little Narragansett mire, that knew more than my wife and son Tom together. She had the spirit of thunder and lightning, but no beauty to speak of. When I first bought her, ropes would'nt hold her, nor fences keep her within bounds. I tried gentle usage

'and crood feeding, but she grew ferocious

and poor. 1 tried flogging and starving, but she remained amiable and gained flesh. In short, she was one of the devil's beauties, and I let her have hcrown way; and she soon deserved greater honor than a Roman Consulship. About the time the mare and 1 came to a good understanding, there was to be a purse race on the lloxbury course, and I thought I might just as well make a lew dollars as not. So I put Spitfire into the old horse-cart, threw in a few notions, and such other things as were necessary, and started for Boston. I sold outright well and with a pocket-book well lined, went on to the race ground. Spitfire knew well enough what was going on, and so she shammed lame, and looked as though she didnt' know oats from bog hay. "Gentlemen," says I, giving Spitfire a cut to get her into a trot, -''you've had some good running here." Not a word was said in reply, but they all

looked at my little nag, as who would say, j

"old daddy you ve no business here.'5 "Says I, "you needn't turn up your noses at Dobbin. She can run like every thing, I tell ye. If you want to lay a small sum, iln ready for you." "We don't put our blood horses against such a tiling as that for nothing. If you have a hundred dollars to lose down with it, or else get out of the way." "Hundred dollars" cried I, "that's a great deal of money. But I've got a little cf my own, and some of my neighbors, so I don't care if I try." Seeing that I was in earnest, they took out the moncv I did the same and it was deposited with the umpires. "Who is to ride your skeleton?" said one buck with a sneer. "I guess I shall ride her myself. I dose all dobbin's mounting. So I drove a little one side untackled Spitfire took off a heavy pair of shoes that I Ind fitted for the occasion opened a box in the horse-cart, and put an elegant saddle and bridle on Spitfire pulled off my frock and trowsers, and appeared on the ground in a pair of buckskin tights, and a jockey cap and jacket. "Gentlemen," said I, speaking in a different tone, "I rather think I am ready for you

He'd clinu his tail between his lens if he

was to see vou, and cry ti-i! ti-i! and run to the end of the world without ever stopping. My gracious, how like the devil you do look with them are things." "Look '.why, sar, they are all the go now. There's no finished gentleman now but what wears mustaches." "Mustychers, do you call Vm? Well by hoky, they're musty, and rusty too. They look very much like the latter end of our

dog's tail, when he brushes it cn the fioor.

They looked a little astonished, but there

was no alternative and after some hemming I

and hawing, we started. The race was for one heat of one mile only. The horse that I ran against was a noble looking creature long neck, slender legs, well opened nostrils, and an eye like an antelope, but he was no match for Spitfire. I gave her the reins perfectly content to risk the hundred dollars to her management. She lan forty or

j or fifty rods just to try tho speed of her an

tagonist, and then checKcd herselt and suhered the horse to go a few rods past then thinking, apparently that she had no time for

j further trilling, oil she started, and soon passed the horse, comiii2 in thirty yards ahead.

' V Pocketing the two hundred dollars very cooly, I marched up to the gentlemen jockies "Take one word of advice from a man who is as far down east as the best of you never bet hereafter unlets you Icnoiv your

than 'Touch 'cm sar, if you offer to put a finger on 'em 111 cane you within an inch of your life I will, sar."

What, with that arc switch, Mister? I should'nt mind it no more than I should an oat straw." Well, sar, touch my mustaches, and see if you don't get it?" 'Touch your mustyches? Why Fd as lievc touch two old chews of tobackcr that had just been spit out. Touch 'cm, indeed! Why, Mister, I would'nt touch 'em with the

tongs. I can't conceive for my life, what should induce any human crittur to wear such darned nasly looking things as them.' 'Nasty looking! do you call ein? Sar, you have no taste. Nasty looking, indeed Why, sar, they arc all the admiration of the ladies." "Ladies! ha, ha, In! Ladies! They must have a queer notion any how. But there are some women who are unaccountable fond of puppies and sich like animals? and I've seen 'cm fondle and kiss 'em, as if they was human critturs. But Lord ! I don't see how any woman could let her lips come

within gun shot of yourn. Admiration of

"Why, Mister, I don't know what kind of

ladies vou have in the city here. But one thing I can tell you our country gals would'nt no more let you touch 'cm than they would a toad they're very particul ir what comes in contact with their lips. But,

Mister, how in the name of hair bristles do you eat? How do you go to work to get vittels in your mouth, with them are things hanging over it, like a hedg j fence over the

side of a ditch? Do you eat meat and sich ! like ? or do you live upon spoon vittels?"

"lt7s none ol your business, sar, what I live on. I hoard at seven . dollars a week; and I eat what I please, sarj and drink what I please." "Seven dollars a week! my gracious! we git hoard and washing, and ail in the country for dollar and a half, but I suppose they eharge you live dollars and a half extra for them are mustychers, Faugh! I would'nt have them at the table for ten dollars." D n it ! what a fool I am to stand here talking with a fellow of your cloth." Thus saying, tho man with the mustache flourished his switch, wheeled about, :md walked on. He had gone but a few step?, when the Yankee bawled after him "Hulloa! .Mister Don't you want a curry comb? I've got some real hue ones, with teeth on both sides. They're bang up 1 tell you.-' "Curse on your curry combs and you too." "Don't swear, Mister, nor go off in a passion. I meant no ollence in what I've said. But I must declare you're the darndest ugliest man in the face. I ever see in all niv life."

COXCOMB AND YANKEE. "What is them are things growing out of your upper lip, Mister?" asked a country Yankee of a coxcomb, whom he met the other day. "Sari" exclaimed the dandy, fiercely raising his rattan, and bristling up to the interrogator "what business is that to you, sar?" "O, no business of any consequence, to speak on," replied the Yankee "I jest axed for information, not being much acquainted with them are things." Well, sar," returned the gallant angrily, "what if you aint acquainted with 'em? Must a fellow of your cloth have the impudence to question a gentleman of my cloth?"'

Elopement Extraordinary Dover. Sept. 7. A most extraordinary sensation was created here this morning at 7 o'clock, when nearly the whole of Dover was either upon the piers, the heights or marine parade, in consequence of the following circumstance: A Mr. Curtess .c lady-had been living bore, at tho City of London Hotel these six weeks

within these two days a Mons. Sole, a French gentleman with a wooden leg, tall good-looking, arrived at the same hotel; this morning, at live, the lady of Mr. Curtess left his bed cautiously and started off with M. Sole for Calais in a line 4-oared galley. Soon after Mr. Curtess discovered his loss, and pursued the parties in a 05 foot 0-oared galley; the men were to be paid 8 for the trouble. About three or four miles from the

smart chase, the husband lying in the bottom of the galley during the chase, when along side his runaway wife's boat he jumped up. This so frightened the lady that she fell back as if shot; she fainted of course, and went into the usual and most appalling fits. A dreadful sea fight then ensued ; oars, boat-hooks, &c. were used with tho greatest effect on both sides. Tho crew cf M. Sole's boat at last gave in, in consequence of the terror they were in from their having had a hole stove through her bottom by the terrific agitation of M. Sole's wooden leg. In fact, the sailors were in the most dreadful fright of being foundered durinrr tho
