Tkll me O mother! when I grow old Will my hair, which my sisters say is like gold, row grey as the old man's, weak and poor, Who asked fur alms at our pillared dcor? Shall Hook as sad, shall I speak as slow As he, when he told us his tale of woe? Will my hands -then shake, and my eyes be dim? Tell me! O mother! shall I crow like him? Ke sa( -but I knew not what lie meant That hiiged heart with sorrow was rent: He spokeft liie grave as a jdzce of rest. Where the weary sleep iu peace, and are blest. And he toldfcow his kindred there were laid. And the friends with whom in his youth he played; And my sisters wept when they heard his tale! lie spoke of a home, where, in childhood's glee. He chased from the wild flowers the singing bee; And followed afar, with a heart s light As its sparkling wings, the butterfly's flight. And pulled young flowers, where they grew neath the beams Of the sun's fair light, by his own blue streams; Vet, he left all these, through the earth to roam; Why, O mother! did he leave his heme? 'Calm thv young thoughts, my own fair child. Tin- fancies of youth in age are beguiled: Though pale grows thy cheeks, and thy hair turn grey. Time cannot steal the soul's youth away! There's a land of which thou hast heard me speak, Where age navcr wrinkles the dweller's cheak; But in joy they live, fair boy like thee Jt was there the old man lunged to be! For he knew that those with whom he had played, In his heart's young joy 'neath the cottage shade. Whose love he shared, when their songs and mirth lightened the gloom of this sinful earth Whose names from our world had parsed away. Art flowers in the breath of an autumn day Hekknew that they with all suffL-r-ing done, inchcled the throne of the Holy One! Though ours be a pillared and lofty home. Where want with his pale train may never come. Oh! scorn not the poor, with the (.corner's jest.

Farmer Applegatc, the owner of a considerable tract of land, had two sons, Jonathan and William or, as they were usually called, Jock and 13 ill. They wce Irom their childhood ol very dilTe Ti-ut Jisposition. Jnck was sta'd and sotuclitied to industry and loud of lay ing up his coppers lii'-l was a hat urn 8caum sort of a lad, and more fond if thriving away his coppers than hoarding them up While Jock was industriously working on the farm, l would be away pa.'dling income puddle for frogs, or shooting butterflies through an airThese different habits and dispositions, followed them to the age of manhood, xhen their father thought proper to sett' tie them in life He portioned Jock with a parcel of bleak, barren, stnncy. and uneven land, but pretty well supplied svith running water. This soil, said he to himself, tequircs a world of hard labor, and produces little when you have done. Hut that makes no difference, for Jock will get a living and lay up money, any where. As for Bill, said he, there's no use in giving him land that requires any w labor, for he'll never work cn it, though Njt were to keep him from starving. Accordingly Farmer Applegatc set off to his son Bill a low piece of flat land, a littic to the aouth of Jock's, which prodn j ee l raf-foi7 in abundance, and that wiilicut the labor ol cultivation. v,ai-rar.5, ... v,.7., U5lu Cat-tails, in those days, were used as a substitute tor learner,, ,n ine preparation ol beds I hey brought lour pence a pounrl; and as they found a rcidv mart t at cash pav, Farmer App'Cgatc tho't, thtt his Dii Hill, idle a he could hardlv fait ot making a tolerable livtli hoi from tn- product! in of aa aiticlc, wnich required no lah ir, but the gathc x ring and carrying to market. Ihu ere the old $eotlcman was mis taken Hill thought it quite too great a hardship to pick and sell tlu cat tails, e yen though they grew spontane lusty. He purchased therefore a pa eel o' mon ues m do the principal drudgery tor htm pa ocularly the gathering .yulpuning. 1 ' A:kH ihesi ese monkies, saul 'e rcrld cf bbor. Thcyi jf id cafe mc a tver

can pick catcalls josl at we'd &6 I and,

for the matter of that, a great dtal bet j ter, for they are more nimble and active;' besides this low and swampy land will not injure their health as it does mine. The monkies were accordingly set to work. They were sufficiently mmbie j and handy; but the difficulty was, to keep them t work, and to make them; do their work well. Like all the rest of their race, ttey were a capricious, versatile, and michie?ous set. They would not work, unless someone was constant y watching them; and when they did wgrk they made such work as was e nough to ruin any body throwing about the cat-tails, and playing the mUchief with the master's property. In order to keep these troublesome servants at work without being obliged constantly to overlook them in person, Uill procured a stout ourang outang, armed with a whip, and made him mom key driver and overseer of the work Dut the ourang outang turned out to be little better, or more trust worthy than the skip-jacks under his charge. Every thing went at sixes and sevens While Bill was away fishing and shooting, the monkey. driver, and monkies were play ing the devil with his property. The consequence of his idle habits and his bad management was, that he got deeply in debt, was harrased with executions, and threatened with bankruptcy In this difficulty, vt hat does he do? Instead of getting t id of his monkies, and attending to work himself, he petitions his father to grant him a premium, of 3 farthings per pound, on his cat-tails al leging that he cannot possibly get a living without this protection to his industry. Indtstry!' exclaimed Farmer Apple gate 'talk of your industry! Truly, if you do not get a living, it will be for the want of impudence.' Though the farmer expressed himself in this wise, nevertheless, being a goodnatured man, and having the welfare of his children at heart, he granted the proposed premium of three farthings per pound, on the cat-tails, grown by his son Bill. With this help Bill got along tolerably well for a time; but neither then did he improve his habits, or pay his debts; hut on the contrary, he became, if p ssih)e. more idle and careless than ever. This protection said he, is a fine ! thing it win keep me inpending mo ney it nothing else In the mean time Jock was industrious and saving Though his land produced 1 - k 1 little, he contrived, by turning his hands to a variety of things, and manufacturing sundry 'notions,' as he called them, to oh tain a tolerable livelihood, and to Keep ciear of debt, though he did not get rich Among other motions,' which he contrived to manufacture, were wooden Jewsharps, which he sold for three half pence a piece. He went on very contentedly, mr asked any aid of the old genleman, until Dill had obtained the a bove mentioned premium on his cat-tails; when Jock, justly concluding that he had an equal claim to protection, asked and oh'ained a nremium ul one tarthinpon each of the Jews-harps manufactured , r at his nulls. He now increased his business, enlarged his mill, and with the aid of the farthing premium, began to get forward in the world Hill, seeing the prosperity of his brother Jock, flew into a terrible pas sion, declared the premium on Jewsharps a monstrous imposition, and not to be indured. What! said he, shall I pay one penny three farthings for a wooden Jews-harp, when I can get an iron one for six pence? To be sine, the wooden article answers every purpose for nry monkies, whose leisure hours must be amused with Jewshatps of some kind or other, to prevent them Irom bein worse employed, Dut that is neither here nor there ii is principle that I contend against. Bill now posted forthwith to his fa ther's to request him to takcVrfi the premium on Jock's Jewsharps alleging that it was too bad that Jock should be growing rich by his vile wooden manufacture, while he was growing poor on the more honorable business of raising cat-tails. 1 armer Applegatc endeavored: J to reason with him on the injustice of his

marched at the head of this uncouth army to attack Jock in his null. Hut Jock was ready for him. He had closed the) door of his mil, and prepared a few buckets of hot water, so arranged that by; putting a sin g ne coim upset the nole of them upon his a:ailjnts. The door

Hieing barricaded, the monkies rere sent, j

as he expected, to scale the walls and cn ter the window. Jock wailed composedly until the noi?y troop had nearly reached the lower casement, when sud denly pulling the string, he discharged the not contents of the Duckets upon their heads The consicmence was that they abandoned the attack in great con fusion, threw away their arms, and ran screeching and screaming about with their scalded polls, like so many mad craatures; and when general Bill endea vored once more to urjre them to the attack, instead of obeying his orders, they with one accord fell upon himself, tore off every rag of clothes he had, scratched and wounded him till the blood began to run in stream drrn his naked body, and would soon have made an end of him, had not Jock, sallying from the mill, put them to flight, and geneiously rescued his fraternal enemy. From that time Bill grew more rational. He sent his monkies back to Africa, picked his own cat tails, and said no more about Jock's premium, or the odious principles of protection. KISSING AND SAILORS BIGHTS. A new remedy for impressment has heen discovered by the liish girls, which we hasten to make known through the columns of the Atias trusting that means so pacific and efTecttni may enceforth takr. precedence of all doubtful hostilities tor securing this important end. We receive the account via Aus tralia, but the scenes are laid at a less remote point, and name and localities may enab'e one to vertfy the story if it should be doubted. .sffa. Halifax is a charming, hospitable place Its name is associated wiih so many pleasing recollections, that it never fails to extort another glass from the hottie which, having been gauged was go ing to pass the night in the cellaret But only say 'Halifax, nd it is 'ike o pen sesamcl out flies the cork, and down goes a bumper to the (health of all gcod lasses'. 1 related in the last chapter, an adventure with nn Irish (Juineamin, whose cargo my right honorable captain converted to the profitable uses of himself and his country. Another of these vessels had heen fallen in with by some of our cruisers, and the commander of his majesty's sloop, the Humming bird. made a selection of some thirty or forty stout Hibernians to fill up his own com pnmeut, and hand over the surplus to the admiral Shoit sighted mortals we all are, and captains of men of-war are not exempt from him an imperfections! How much, also, di ops between the cup and the lip! There chanced to be on hoard of the same trader two very pretty Irish girls of the better sort ol boor geoi?e; they were going to join their friends at Philadelphia. I he name of one was Judy, and the other Maria. No sooner were the poor Irishmen informed ot their change of destination than they set up a howl loud enough to make the monsters of the deep serk their dark cavern. They rent the hearts of the kindhear'cd girl; & when the tho rough-bass of the males was joined by the. wipranosand treb'es of the women and children, it would hate made Orphe us himself turn round and gizs. Oh, Miss Judy! Oh, M'ss Maria! would yon he so crurl as to see us poor cratuic dragged away to a man of war, and no for to go and spake a word for u? A word to the captain wid your own pret ty mouths, no doubt he would let us ofF The ladies, though doubting the powers of their own facinations, resolved to make the experiment. So begging the lieutenant of the sloop to give them a passage on board to speak with his captain, they added a small matter of finery to their dress, and skipped into the boiv like a couple ot mountain kidds, carinr neither for the exposure of themselvis nor the spray of the salt water, which Xs Id ill . hair, added a hloom to their checks which, perhaps, contributed in no small degree to the success of their project There is something in the sight ef a . petticoat at sea that never fails to put a man into a good humor, provided ho be i ightly constructed.
