ORIGINAL POETRY.

IPWe agree with the following, that a meaching, cringing course, is unnecessary to obtain public favor, but the reverse .- An intelligent editor, who acts himself, will meet with most favor, though some will be offended. The piece, as a whole, gives so true a picture, that we give it an insertion.

THE EDITOR.

That Editor who wills to please, Must humbly crawl upon his knees, And kiss the hand that beats him; Or if he dares attempt to walk, Must toe the mark that others chalk, And cringe to all that meets him.

Says one, your subjects are too grave- Too much morality you have- Too much about religion;

Give me some witch or wizard tales, With slip-shod ghosts, with fins and scales, Or feathers like a pigeon.

I love to read, another cries, Those monstrous fashionable lies- In other words, those novels Composed of kings and queens, and lords, Of border wars and Gothic hordes, That used to live in hovels.

No-no, cries one, we've had enough Of such confounded love-sick stuff To craze the fair creation; Give us some recent foreign news, Of Russians, Turks-the Greeks and Jews, Or any other nation.

"The man of drilled scholastic lore, Would like to see a little more, In scraps of Greek or Latin; The merchants rather have the price Of Souther indigo and rice, Of India silk and satin.

Another cries, I want more fun, A witty anecdote or pun, A rebus or a riddle; Some long for missionary news, And some, of worldly carnal views, Would rather hear a fiddle.

The critic, too, of classic skill, Must die in gall his gander quill, And scrawl against the paper; Of all the literary fools Bred in our colleges and schools, He cuts the silliest caper.

Another cries, I want to see A jumbled up variety- Variety in all things;

A miscellaneous hodge-podge print, Composed-I only give the hint, Of multifarious small things.

I want some marriage news, says miss, It constitutes my highest bliss

To hear of weddings plenty; For in a time of general rain, None suffer from a drought, 'tis plain- At least not one in twenty.

I want to hear of death, says one- Of people totally undone, By losses, fire or fever;

Another answers, full as wise, I'd rather have the fall and rise Of raccoon skins and beaver,

Some signify a secret wish For now and then a savory dish Of politics to suit them;

But here we rest at perfect ease, For should they swear the moon was cheese, We never should dispute them.

Or grave or humerous, wild or tame, Lofty or low, 'tis all the same, Too haughty or too humble; And every editorial wight Has nought to do but what is right, And let the grumblers grumble.

[Original.] To F. R. I.

When Orient Morn with rosy light, Kisses the tears from dewey flowers, And Fairy Forms with magic flight Escape to their Elysian bowers, I'll think of thee.

When Ebon Night ber mantle throws O'er City, Lake and ivied Towers, Wooing frail Mortals to repose- When hushed the revel-calm the hours, I'll think of thee.

And when thy silvery voice is heard In accents, mild as breath of Even Bright Angels catch whispered words And bear thy Orisans to Heaven, Wil't think of me?

THE LAST WILL.

BY MISS MARY V. SPENCER.

With a palpitating heart he had waited during the delay, and now he rushed in, all eagerness to be reconciled to his dying pa- rent. He saw nothing but the form sup-

But the hand was rudely jerked back, and a scornful laugh met his ear.

'Give me a pen, quick, quick,' said the invalid, rising unsupported in bed,

The conveyancer hastened to obey, the parchment was spread out, and the pen was in the invalid's hand.

'Do you see this sir? he said, casting a look of triumphant malice at his son, and he placed the pen to the skin.

The storm, all this while, had been in- creasing in fury and vivid flashes of elec- tricity had begun of late even to penetrate 'Don't call me father, you unnatural child,' said the invalid, half rising in bed, and shaking his clenched hand." You have brought me to this-you have, you through the closed shutters and heavy prop- ery of the windows. Just at this instant a peal was heard, stunning every one in the room. which seemed filled with a blinding rascal. But I'll have my revenge. You light.

For a second there was a breathless silence,

Father in Heaven!' he exclaimed in a tone of horror and advancing to the bed, he added solemnly, "Sir James is dead!'

They rushed to his side, and found it was indeed so. The lightening had run down the wall at the head of the bed, and in a second the soul of the Baronet was in eter- nity. The parchment was shrivelled black, while the pen knocked three feet from the hand, lay burning on the rich counterpane. A silence of horror chained every tongue, The death of the invalid, at that instant, seemed like a stroke of Providence,

'As there is no will, Sir James, you are the sole heir. And from the bottom of my heart I congratulate you.'

'So you come here thinking I was about to make you my heir, eh. Did your wife and child, sir, come along, to exult in my halls before I am cold?"

'Father -- father-' said the young man imploringly as yet bewildered by this strange scene.

'Sir James,' said the son, 'I will go rath- and then the conveyancer spoke.

'Keep him in,' fiercely exclaimed the in- valid, 'make him stay until the will is read and signed. He shall see it all,' and again there was a terrible oath.

'I pray you sir,' said the conveyancer, now advancing, for the young man had not seen him before, 'consider the place,' he added imploringly, as he saw the son about to knock down the servants who opposed his path, 'it shall be hastened as much as possible if you will only bear it,'he whis- pered,
