Joy to riiiliip. ho this day
Has Lis long coats cu<t away,
And (ilic childish season gone)
Puts the manly breeches on.
Officer on gay parade,
Red coat in his first cockade.
Bridegroom in his wedding trim,
Birthday beau surpassing him,
Never did with conscious gait
Strut about in half the state,
Or the pride, (yet free from sin.)
<>f my little manikin;
Never was there pride or bliss
Half so rational as his.
•Sashes, frocks, to those that need ’em.—
Phillip s limbs have got i heir freedom,—
He can run, or he can ride,
Anil do twenty things bo:-, ie,
Which liis petticoats forbade;
Is he not a happy lad?
Now lie's under other banners,
Ho must leave ids former manners ;
Bid adieu to female games,
And forget their very names.
Puss iu corners, hide and seek,
('ports for girls and panics weak!
Baste the bear he now may piny at,
Leap-frog, football, sport away at,
(Show hi., skill and strength at cricket,
Mark hi distance, pitch his wicket,
Run about in winter's snow
Till his eh, i k.s and fingers glow,
Climb a tree, or scale a wall,
H it bout any fear to fall.
If lie gets a hurt or bruise,
To complain he must refuse.
Though the anguish and the smart
Co unto hi - little heart,
He must have his courage ready,
Keep Bis voice and visage sttndy,
Brace his eyeballs stiff us drum,
That a tear may never come,
And his grief must only speak
Prom the color in his cheek.
This and more he must endure,
Hero he in miunturc 1
This and more must now be done,
Now the breeches i re put on.

when she t M him bo might see other white

would either never be, or else in a very 1 mg

on preaching was extraordinary large. Lur

went to see her, who said they could feel sat

Georgia will probably have no vote in the
electoral college. Breckinridge lias carried
the State by a plurality of about 2,500, while
her constitution requires a majority of all the
votes to secure a choice. In the event of
fa tin re to elect before the people, electors are
to bo eh - n by the Legislature. That body
h wever has adjourned without action and
will not be re-convened to act in the matter.

On the 20th ultimo, the Independent

all property previously held by the congrega

There is a gentle but glorious mission for
every woman in the world. Every woman
may be unostentatiously at work, in her home
improving, cheering, mini.- toring to the com
fort of those around her. And then she can
go forth with her heart filled with loving
sympathy, and gladden tlie home of the
mourner; soothe the pillow of the sick;
relieve the wants of the poor, and raise the
clasped hand of the little child to Heaven, as
she teaches its lips to pray. Everbearing
with her the light of compassion in her eye,
which . hail enable her to draw near the suf
ferer; the cheering smile upon her lip, which
shall lea passport to every home; an I the
gentle words upon her tongue, which shall
fall like sweetest music upon the drooping
spirit. i
The Wheel of Fortune.—Only twenty
years ago, last November, Louis Napoleon,
(the present Emperor of France,) left the St.
Charles hotef without paying his board bill.
In The New Orleans Bee of November. 18o9,
appetred the following account of the noble
Count’s departure from the city:
Count Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, whose
arrival in this city was announced in several
of the papers, has left New Orleans in high
dudgeon, and just reason. He was yesterday
morning informed by the present proprietors oi
the St. Charles hotel, that it was customary
for gentlemen traveling without baggage,
^the Count was splendidly provided in that
way lor a man of his titular appendages.) to
pay for their board in advance, whereupon
1 lowin' ■
Count—My name is sufticient guarantee
for my bill.
Publican—Your name, Count, is a very
good one. but won’t buy marketing.
Count—Make out my bill.
The clerk thereupon presented the bill
made out in the name of •Count L. N. Bona
parte.”
•• Mv name,” said the Count,l> is Louis Na
poleon Bonaparte—1 want it so stated in iuil
m the account.”
A second hill was made out, and the entire
name, written out in fair legible characters.
My name is Count Louis Nap deon Bona
parte. Prince of Segovia, and other depen
dencies—say so in the bill,' responded the
sprig oi nobility.
•• 1. will not make out a third bill,” said the
clerk.
••Then I'll he d—d if I pay it." said his
excellency, and forth with absquatulated.

Population of London.—If London
(says a writer whom we do not guarantee)
wore surrounded by a wall, havilig a north
gate, a south gate, an east gate, and a west
gate, and each of the four gates were of suffi- i
cient width to allow a column of persons to -
pa.-s out lively, four abreast, and a \ erempto- !
i", ncccs.-iiv required the immediate vacation
■ f the city, it could not he accomplished under I
twoiity-ih-tr hours ; by the expiration of wh:eh
time the head of c.a h of the four columns
would have advanced i:o b - a distance than
