Mtttfo rfoetrj, A HE DYING IIO Ult. We cull a lew extracts from IJiis beautiful effusion by Mrs. Norton. Oh ! watch me ; watOD me still. Thro'the long night's drear; boors, Uphold by thy firm will. Worn nature's sinking powers. Stoop down, and ki.-s my bron ■ Tin; shadows round me closing, Warn me that dark and low I socn shall be reposing. The battle slain, whose Hrfnrt No kindly hand assuages, rVbose low (hint rareweli burst Unheard while combat rages ; Thu exiled, near whose bod Some rifltoned form seems weeping. Whose steps shall never tread The; land where he lies sleeping ; The drown'd_ whose parting breath Is caught by wild winds; only,— Thcir's Ik the bitter death, Beloved, for they die only ! But, thus, tho' racked, to lie ; Thou near, tho, full of Badness Loaves still, e'en while I die, A lingering gleam of gladnc.su ! Onee more ! ah, yet once more, Fling, fling thy white arms round me, As oft in days of yore Their gentle clasp halh Ijound rue j And bold me to that breast, Which heaves so full of Borrow— Who knows where I may rest In the dark and blank to-morrow ? , ARISTOCRACY- PerbttpS the best hit at. republican aristocracy, ef which the present times are so prolific, is the following, from the pen of John U. S.ixe. It has universal application, and is warranted good for all localities, The exquisite Fit/, Frickc, in Light and Darkness, is not the only man who, from the bitterness of his soul, has cursed " tbat d d soap business," or some .similar occupation of their respected ancestors. r EID E- ;Tis a curious fact BI ever was known In human nature, but often shown Mike in castle and cottage, That pride, like pigs of a certain breed, Will manage to live and thrive on " feed " Ab poor as a pauper's pottage ! Of all the notable things on curtli, The queerest one is pride of birth, Among our " licrcc democracy I''* A bridge across a hundred years, Without a prop to sate it fron sneers— Not even a couple of rotten Beers— A thing for laugnter, sneers, and jeers, Is American aristocracy! .Depend upon ii, my snobbish friend, Your family thread you can:t ascend, Without good reason to apprehend You may find it waxed at the further end By some plebeian vocation ! Or, wonne than that, your boasted lino May end in a loup of stronger twine That plagued some worthy relation ! Because you flourish in worldly affairs, Don't bo haughty, and put on airs, Witb insolent pride of station! Don't be proud, and turn up your noae At poorer people iu plainer clothes ; But leai n, for the sake of your mind's repose. That wealth's a bubble that comes aud goes ! And that all proud flesh, wherever it grows, lh subject to Irr tation ! band, at once dispatched—not drunk nor sober- Bent into tins thirty station houaa-itoeerejBttriera tight, with all my imperfections on my head. the fellow's namel My very soul rebels, Vn\t whether It is nobler tn tbe mind tomfferthe cuffs and braises of this bloody Dutchman, or to take arms against bis red-haired highness, and by in forming, end him ? I go and it la done. Villain, here's at thy heart] Hifl name, your Honor, is Bob-blesnotrkin, in the Bowery—tliat't Sbakspeare mixed. Clerk—have you get a home ? Prisoner—my home Is on the deep, deep eea— that's Plutrareh'a Lives. Clerk—how tli yon get your living ? Prisoner—ttoabtthou theaters are fire; doubt thou Wie sun doth more; doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt that I'll get a living wliile the oyster sloops don't have but one watchman—that's Billy S. again. Clerk—Do you pay for your oysters ? Prisoner—Base is the slave that pay ; the speed ofliumght te In my limb.i—that's Byron. Clerk —Do you steal them and then rim away? Prisoner—I've told thee all, I'll tell thee no more, though short the story be ; let me go back where I was before, and I'll get my Hvlttg without doubling ihe Corporation—that's Tom Moore, altered to suit circumstances. Justice (evidently at a loss, in a whisper to mys- tlfled elerk}- 1 think he's crazy; what do you think it's best to do with bim ? Prisoner (overbearing)—Off with hi* head ; so much—that's Sbakspeare curtailed. Justice—Will you promise to dispense with the brandy aud gin if yon era discharged ! Prisoner—0, I would be happy with either were 'totber dear charmer bottled up and the cork put in—Unit's Dlbdin, with a vengeance. Judge—What do you suppose will become of you if you go 0:1 iu this way, living as you have done'! Prisoner; Alas, poor Toriokl—Peter, I mean Who knows where he wil! lay his hones? Few and short will the prayers be said and noboy'll feci any sorrow; but they'll cram bim into his clay cold bed. and bury somebody or. top of him tomorrow; the minister will come, put on bis robe and read the service; the choir '11 sine; a bim; earth to earth and dust to gravel and that'll b*1- the last of Peter Knight. Clerk—Peter, we will have to send you up for ten days. Prisoner—fare thee well, aud if forever, all the better—that's Byron, revised aad corrected. StistcItaoBS 3.torfeiiunts. Jfof Bait.

"The officer could not deLenuiue whether he was intoxicated or crazy, but as he Paid he had no home, he was taking in charge as a vagrant, lie had been traversing the streets with | folded arms, talking to himself in odd bits of plays and poems, He possessed a facility of quotation erjual to Richard Swiveller, Esq.. but ho was as reckless about the exactitude of his extracts, and jumbled up his authorities with as much coufusion ai Captain Cuttle himself, lie seldom gave a quotation right, but would break off in the middle, and substitute some words of his own, or dove-fail in an irrelevant piece from vomo strange author, or mix up halfa dozen authors with interpolations ot his own, iu an inextricable verbal jumble. Clerk— What is your name? Prisoner—l'etcr Knight; am a native to the marrow-bone—that's Shakspeare. Clerk--Was you intoxicated yesterday ! ri'himur—'Tis true, 'tis pity ; 'tis there isn't a deril a doubt of it—that's Scott. Clerk—Where did you get your liquor? Prisoner—Where the bee Bucks, there sucks Peter all day. Thou base, inglorious slave, ihiuk'st thou I will reveal the name of him who give me wine? No jiir-ee, Bob—that's Beaumont aud Fletcher. Officer, in a whisper—if you don't tell, you will have to go to jail.

I was about to rgiiurk that there was uo necessity for so much eoremony. as I was not proud, when I perceived an officer ap- proachiag, who no doubt itnagin-iil the "present arms" was all on his account; at any rate he touched his hat in return. Thinks I, how conceited some people aro. Tbe corporal ordered me to "halt there,'-*a very unnecessary order, lor I had already halted. He looked at me fiercely, and remarked that I had better not move if I didn't want a bayonet or a bullet through me. Now as I didn't care particularly about either, having already experienced a foretaste of the very insinuating characteristics of a bayonet, and not having the slightest degree of curiosity to test the system of free veutillatiou through my system or body corporeal, 'however much the corporal might wish to experiment. I "halted there," and b'ing fully impressed with the idea that the gentleman wearing Uncle Sam's short jacket was a man ot his word, and like Byron's piratical hero, rather inclined to knock onu'f head oif lirst, and enquire into the offence subsequently, I didn't move a muscle. Any one look ing ot me at the moment would have imagined I was standing for a full lento daugerreotype, the only difference being that my countenance probable did not do what the artist always commandf, as he jerks away the black cloth—i. e., to "wear'a pleasant expression." The corporal marched up to the Officer, who il appears was the officer of the day, who having been up iill night in charge ofthe guard, looked very sleepy, and touching his cap, reported as follows : '■ Prisoner, sir ; found in the commissary's store, I had chartered tn New York, loaded with mer- chaudise for camp supplies, and having nothing'<» do, lounged around tin; cimp. aad a**Gt)pUfl3, hy installments, the hospitality ot my old garrlaoa friends.

Mtttfo rfoetrj,
A HE DYING IIO Ult.
We cull a lew extracts from IJiis beautiful effusion by Mrs. Norton.
Oh ! watch me ; watOD me still.
Thro'the long night's drear; boors,
Uphold by thy firm will.
Worn nature's sinking powers.
Stoop down, and ki.-s my bron ■
Tin; shadows round me closing,
Warn me that dark and low
I socn shall be reposing.
The battle slain, whose Hrfnrt
No kindly hand assuages,
rVbose low (hint rareweli burst
Unheard while combat rages ;
Thu exiled, near whose bod
Some rifltoned form seems weeping.
Whose steps shall never tread
The; land where he lies sleeping ;
The drown'd_ whose parting breath
Is caught by wild winds; only,—
Thcir's Ik the bitter death,
Beloved, for they die only !
But, thus, tho' racked, to lie ;
Thou near, tho, full of Badness
Loaves still, e'en while I die,
A lingering gleam of gladnc.su !
Onee more ! ah, yet once more,
Fling, fling thy white arms round me,
As oft in days of yore
Their gentle clasp halh Ijound rue j
And bold me to that breast,
Which heaves so full of Borrow—
Who knows where I may rest
In the dark and blank to-morrow ?
, ARISTOCRACY-
PerbttpS the best hit at. republican aristocracy,
ef which the present times are so prolific, is the
following, from the pen of John U. S.ixe. It has
universal application, and is warranted good for
all localities, The exquisite Fit/, Frickc, in Light
and Darkness, is not the only man who, from the
bitterness of his soul, has cursed " tbat d d
soap business," or some .similar occupation of
their respected ancestors.
r EID E-
;Tis a curious fact BI ever was known
In human nature, but often shown
Mike in castle and cottage,
That pride, like pigs of a certain breed,
Will manage to live and thrive on " feed "
Ab poor as a pauper's pottage !
Of all the notable things on curtli,
The queerest one is pride of birth,
Among our " licrcc democracy I''*
A bridge across a hundred years,
Without a prop to sate it fron sneers—
Not even a couple of rotten Beers—
A thing for laugnter, sneers, and jeers,
Is American aristocracy!
.Depend upon ii, my snobbish friend,
Your family thread you can:t ascend,
Without good reason to apprehend
You may find it waxed at the further end
By some plebeian vocation !
Or, wonne than that, your boasted lino
May end in a loup of stronger twine
That plagued some worthy relation !
Because you flourish in worldly affairs,
Don't bo haughty, and put on airs,
Witb insolent pride of station!
Don't be proud, and turn up your noae
At poorer people iu plainer clothes ;
But leai n, for the sake of your mind's repose.
That wealth's a bubble that comes aud goes !
And that all proud flesh, wherever it grows,
lh subject to Irr tation !

Prisoner—my home Is on the deep, deep eea—
that's Plutrareh'a Lives.
Clerk—how tli yon get your living ?
Prisoner—ttoabtthou theaters are fire; doubt

but never doubt that I'll get a living wliile the

Prisoner—Base is the slave that pay ; the speed

Clerk —Do you steal them and then rim away?
Prisoner—I've told thee all, I'll tell thee no
more, though short the story be ; let me go back
where I was before, and I'll get my Hvlttg without

Justice—Will you promise to dispense with the

Prisoner—0, I would be happy with either were

in—Unit's Dlbdin, with a vengeance.
Judge—What do you suppose will become of
you if you go 0:1 iu this way, living as you have

Who knows where he wil! lay his hones? Few and

and read the service; the choir '11 sine; a bim;

law:
Peter Knight waa fountl 'wandering in the Fourteenth Ward. "The officer could not deLenuiue
whether he was intoxicated or crazy, but as he
Paid he had no home, he was taking in charge as a
vagrant, lie had been traversing the streets with |
folded arms, talking to himself in odd bits of plays
and poems, He possessed a facility of quotation
erjual to Richard Swiveller, Esq.. but ho was as
reckless about the exactitude of his extracts, and
jumbled up his authorities with as much coufusion
ai Captain Cuttle himself, lie seldom gave a
quotation right, but would break off in the
middle, and substitute some words of his own, or
dove-fail in an irrelevant piece from vomo strange
author, or mix up halfa dozen authors with interpolations ot his own, iu an inextricable verbal
jumble.
Clerk— What is your name?
Prisoner—l'etcr Knight; am a native to the
marrow-bone—that's Shakspeare.
Clerk--Was you intoxicated yesterday !
ri'himur—'Tis true, 'tis pity ; 'tis there isn't a
deril a doubt of it—that's Scott.
Clerk—Where did you get your liquor?
Prisoner—Where the bee Bucks, there sucks Peter all day. Thou base, inglorious slave, ihiuk'st
thou I will reveal the name of him who give me
wine? No jiir-ee, Bob—that's Beaumont aud
Fletcher.
Officer, in a whisper—if you don't tell, you will
have to go to jail.
Prisoner—] do remenber an apothecary, and
hereabouts he dwells—DO he don't, he lives over
