ORIGINAL POETRY.

THE FALL TRAININ. " Rub a dub, goes the drum, TRAINING DAY is surely come. OLD SONG PART SECOND. ..

Now we resume once more our lay, Solemn and serious, to portray What further incident may chance; And with the interest and weal Of the Civillians, we will deal, And see how they, meanwhile, advance.

Then let us take a loitering tramp Upon the outskirts of the camp, Where. citizens 'most congregate.' Here, where they eat, and drink and smoke, And sing, and laugh, and fight, and joke, In fun the time to dissipate

No want of Chivalry is here, Though minus sword, and shield, and spears For thoughtful Nature has provided A tool familliar unto all; A weapon known to great and small, Whose power is not to be derided.

That tool called fist, they ply right well, As many an aching head can tell In piteous accents from the dust: Nor energy, the skirmish lacks, For loud resound the vigorous whacks, And many a nose yields up its trust.

Quitting the noisy, drunken crew, We'll go, the numerous stalls to view, Stretching along in crowded row: What vast abundance of good cheer To fill the hungry souls, is here, That empty, they shan't homeward go.

Here, oysters, in and out of shell, Send forth a rich, inviting smell, Floating upon the sultry breeze,- Entering continually some nose Whose owner, helpless, straightway goes, Compelled, his appetite to please.

Here hills of candy, sparkling, gleam Like glaciers in the rein's bright beam, Seeming of wintry frost-work wove: O, what a glorious, charming sight" To infant travellers, who delight Among their peaks and cliffs to roam.

Paying their coppers at the base, To win the guides consenting grace, They hasten gladly to explore Each pook and corner, with the zeal That, a Geologist might feel, Amid strange scenes, unknown before.

Mountains of beef and pork ascend,

Beneath their weight the tables bend-

And eggs and loaves, and cakes and pies, Like little hamlets at the foot Of each, those voyagers to suit,

Who, frightened, upward dare not rise.

| Th' o'erflowing plentiousness to crown, And wash the godly foorage down,- No lack of liquids is there found; Barrels of cider, sweet and new, John Barleycoin, hot coffee too, In one mixed ocean, float around.

When those who can no longer eat, Nor drink, nor smoke, beat their retreat, The various shows attract their eyes, Covered with canvass, like the screen That hides the mystic Future scene,- But coin will make these curtains rise.

Here, horses, hogs and oxen, grown To mammoth magnitude, are shown, On easy terms, to such as choose To see the wonders that are done, By sportive Nature, that Rum'un. When curious vagaries she pursues.

Here, peddling auctioneers we see, Who shout and thump incessantly, Perched on their wagon-load of notions- Yet ever with an open eye Upon the concourse, keen and sly, Observing all their various motions.

As multifarious, their freight, As e'er that craft of ancient date, Commanded by the Patriarch, bore, When he had bagged by twos and sevens, All sorts of varmints 'neath the Heavens, Till the old hulk could hold no more.

Gay finger rings, of purest gold, By these philanthropists, are sold, So very cheap, that all can buy; Behold them shining on the paws Of the admiring Johny-raws, Uplifted, to attract the eye.

Great coats, and jackets, sure to fit, And pistols, warranted to hit; Self-moving razors, sharp and keen,

And knives, with blades both great and lit- tle, For those who love to cut and wittle,- All things by mortals ever seen.

Ever the same eternal chant, Hunger, fatigue, nor aught can daunt,- Higher nor lower in their tone, Even the cadence of the song, Until the chorus comes along,-

"Going for less than cost, and-gone!"

But all the humours manifold, Of ' Muster Day,' cannot be told Within the space assigned to me; Should I attempt to put them all in, 'Twould take a book as large as Rolin, Made of his ancient History

So I will leave off at this place, Nor farther try the scenes to trace, Content, if but an outline slight, I have been able to transfer From Memory's true Register, In colours faithful, living, bright.

SELMA.

When you see a person continually bar- king at and abusing those possesed of influ- T'ence, you may know that, like the dog at the foot of the tree, he barks because he can't climb.

Not to grow better is sure to end in grow- ing .worse.

MARRIAGE, Marriage is to woman at [in it, as editorial or otherwise. That is once the happiest and the saddest event of the way to "do" an editor .- Richmond her life; it is the promise of future bliss raised on the death of present enjoyment Star.

She quits her home, her occupations, her amusements, everything on which she depends for comfort, for affection, for kind- ness, for pleasure. The parents by whose counsels she had been guardcd; the sister to whome she dared to impart every em- broy thought and feeling; the brother who had played with her-alternately the coun- sellor and the counseling-all to be resign- ed at one fell stroke; and yet she flies with joy into the untrodden path before her .-- Boyed up by the confidence of requited love she bids a fond and greatful adieu to the life that is past, and returns with excited hopes and joyous anticipation of the happi- ness to come. Then woe to the man who can blight such a fair prospect-who can treacherously lure a heart like that from its peaceful enjoyment, and the watchful protection at home-who can, cowardly, break the illusions that have won her, and destroy the confidence which love had in- spired. Woe to the man!

SELF INSTRUCTION. Lord Brougham once remarked, that if we were deprived of what we learn during the first three years of our lives, we should be the most ignorant beings on the face of the globe. The learn- ing referred to in that remark, is evidently

science, acquired by self instruction. A ted, to torment themselves and society, knowledge of the productions of nature, and till a premature death comes to the relief. ofthe laws which govern them; obtained by direct observation and diversified experi- ments-by self-moved, self-impelled, de- lightful and almost ceaseless efforts, on the part of the young and self-taught pupil.

BAD TIDINGS, An unfaithful lover; a dirty cook; a smoky house; a perpetual scold; an aching tooth; an undutiful child; an improvident servant; an intemperate pa- rent husband or wife; an incessant talker, a first rate appetite and nothing to eat; a hog that breaks through enclosures; a dull shaving razor passing over a pimpled face; musquitoes; bugs in a bed chamber, and a dandy.

ADVICE .- When you would see the editor, and have no particular business with him, allow no common difficulty to deter you.

If he is not down stairs go up and hunt him there. If the door be fastened, make sure that you knock loud enough to com- pel somebody to come and open it; and when that is done, rush in upon him and be delighted to see him, and inform him what difficulties you overcame to get at him .- If he grins a ghastly smile, do the same yourself-if he don't, then grin anyhow .--- Should he seem busy, or should the " dev- il" perplex and encompass him round about, be at particular pains to talk as much to him, and as loud as you very well can. This will do capitally, and he will presently show signs of being " touched up." Then is the tine to show your gentlemanly ease and breeding.First, take the very paper he seems disposed to pick, than read alond, and laugh at the good things. Next ask. to borrow his pen to write a joke for him, to go in as editorial the next day, and be particular not to finish in too much haste. After divers social acts of this kind, tell him

you are coming to dine with him soon, ask him to lend you a dollar, and then slope. - The next day fail not to curse the paper for

A WORD TO MOTHERS.

Those who value in their children an erect, graceful carriage of the head, should not suffer them in infancy and early child- hood to sleep on high pillows. This prac- tice continued for years, while all the bones of the young frame are tender and yielding, will inevitably produce an awkwardness ap- proaching to deformity. The head and shoulders get an ungraceful stoop, which all the torture of stocks and braces, in after years, will fail to remove. It is an error to suppose that a healthy child can sleep better in an almost sitting position; certainly not with the neck curved, and its little head unnaturally thrown forward upon the breast. Habits, and the wonder- ful powers of endurance in some children carries them through errors in dress, diet, and exercise ( or the want of it, )which would kill any other animal on earth .- Children will live, fret and grow,' curved in a semi-circle, dosed with laudanum, swathed frome head to foot in ligatures. and immersed in fotei air, but men and women so reared are not, in mind and body, worth half as much to themselfs or their country as they might - have been with a more rational training. By these methods a sickly peevish race is perpetua-

of all parties. "High pillows are not so ter- rible in effect as bad diet, or unwholesome air, and habit may render them accepta- ble, nay essential, to a child before it can speak its sense of discomfort; but they are wicked destroyers of health and beauty, nevertheless. In slumber, the head should hold nearly the same relative position to the body which it does in action; and who ever saw a bright, well-formed child run- ning about with its head in the position in which its caruful mother bends it in its cra- dle ?- Physicians see whole famalies of beautiful children acquire attitude of head forever destructive of eligance and dignity, yet they will refrain from hinting a word of prevention .-- They do not like to inter- fere in such trifles, as if any thing was a trifle which detracts from the grace and comeliness of the human family .- N.Y .- SUN.
