MISCE TLMUM AUNTY Tile Jolly Old Frdagoguc. 7XT*?5 C jolly ru* A o rr ncr no In xi tr ftrrrv Tall, and slender, and sallow, and dry; His form was bent and his gait was slow, And his long, thin hair, was white as snow. But a wonderful twinkle shone in his eye; And be sang every night, as he went to bed, "Let ns be happy down here below; The living should live though the dead be d?ad. Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago. He taught tho scholars thc rule of three, Reading and writing and history, too; He took the little ones up on his knee, For a kind old heart in his breast had ho, And the wants of the littlest child ho knew; "Learn while you're young."' he often said, "There is much "to enjoy down hero below; Life for the living, and rest for the dead!" Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago. With stupidest boys he was kind and cool, Speaking only iii gentlest tones; The rod was scarcely known in his school Whipping, to him. was it barbarous rule, And too hard work for his poor old bones; Besides, it was painful, be sometimes said; ' ' We should make life pleasant down here below, The living need charity more than thc dead," Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago. He lived in the house by thc hawthorn lane, With roses and woodbine over thc door; His rooms were quiet, and neat, and plain, But a spirit of comfort there held reign, And made him forget he was old and poor; "I need so little," be often said; "And my friends and relatives here below Won't litigate over me when I am dead," Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago. But the pleasantest times that he had, of all, Were the sociable hours ho used to pass, With his chair tipped back to a neighbor's wall, Making an unceremonious call, Over a pipe, and a friendly glass: This was the finest pleasure, he said, Of the many he tasted hore below. "Who has no cronies had better be dead," Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago. Thc ioliv old pedagogue's wrinkled face, Melted all over in sunshiny smiles; Ha stirred his glass with an old-school grace, Chuckled, and sipped, and prattled apace, Till thc house grew merry from cellar to tiles; 'Tm a pretty old man,"' he gently said. "I've"lingered a long time here below; But my heart is fresh, if my youth is fled!" Said the jolly old pedagogue, long ago. He smoked his pipe in the balmy air, Every night, when the sun went down, While thc soft wind played in his silvery hair, Leaving its tenderest kisses there. On tho jolly old pedagogue's jolly old crown; And. feeling thc kisses, he smiled, and iftid: '"Twas a glorious world down herc below; Why wait for happiness till wo are dead?" Said this jolly old pedagogue, long ago. ile sat at his door, one mid-summer night, After the sun had sunk in the Wost, And the lingering beams of golden ligh' Made his kindly old face look warm and bright. While the odorous night-winds whis? pered .Best!" Gently-gently he bowed his head There "were angels waiting for him, I know; He was sure ot his happiness, living or dead, This jolly old pedagogue, long ago. Bricks " on Music and Hie Drama. "Bricks," of the Mobile Advertiser, thus discourses on music and the drama, and some of his fun is rich and racy : Music AND TUE DRAMA.-It is be? lieved that the once popular play of "Cotton is King," which was with? drawn from the stage, some time ago, on account of thc " strike, " resulting in a row in the theatre, and tho "burst-lip" of the engagement with the players, will be reproduced on tho Southern boards a few seasons hence, with a new stock company from abroad. This is quite likely, unless the man? agement have "gone-a-wool gather? ing" to a much greater extent than there is reason to suppose. A stock ccmpany is being organ? ized in New Orleans, with plenty of money to start, for the purpose of bringing out in capital style, "A Big Thing on Ice." The managers expect to make money by this Icelandic drama, but we predict, without in? tending to discourage them, that no matter how melting the thing may be, it will be coldly received. Among the new music jw i issued by a Louisville publisher is ""Why Can We Not be Brothers ?"-words by Clarence Prentice. We learn, olli cially, that the same house will soon publish a companion piece, "Why Can We Not Lu Brothers-in-law ?" words by Bricks, inscribed to a young gentleman whose beautiful and ac? complished sister is well known in this city. It is understood that Dion Bourci cault'splay of ' ' Arrah-na-Pogne " was withdrawn from thc British stage on account of its tendency to encou? rage the Irish peasantry in the care? less handling of lire-arms. The Eng? lish, by the way, have no particular objection to the fens during the shoot? ing season ; but they want to do all the shooting themselves, and hence their dislike to the Fenians. We gather from some hints thrown out hy the London press that Adah Isaacs Menkin has been successfully palming herself off on the people of that city as " The Child of the Sun." ! It is well known in this city that they are not related at all. Little did the ! British public think, when it so I warmly applauded her as "Mazeppa," I in the Georgia costume, that it was nursing in its bosom an Adah Illili would turn and sting it with such a deception. Macauley, whose essays und History of England are not wholly unknown, ;s playing "Bamboozle "'at the Varie? ties, in New Orleans. We are glad to see that he has abandoned the field of the essayist and the historian, for which he is altogether unfitted, and is addicting himself to low comedy. Theatricals are brisk in New York. Mat Maretzek is also having a heavy run in the operatic line. He has re? cently brought out a new composition, in which the celebrated "thorough base," James Gordon Bennett, ap? pears as the ' ' Knight of the Black Mail," and is made to sing small. Tin latter incurs the chief expense, thc enterprise having cost him aboul $50,000. Henry Ward Beecher i.< still starring it at Plymouth Church, the chief place of amusement iv Brooklyn. He recently appeared there in a new farce, entitled ' ' Whai and Where is Hell ?" They say he didn't get fully down to his subject ot tlie occasion, but there is little doubl that he will after awhile. "What WiU He Do With It," is th< title of a dramatized version of thc Abolition story of "The Colored Ele phant," which is just now haring ? splendid run on the radical boards. The fine old aria from the Open d'Afrique "Dai you, Sambo? No, 'tis Jim; You're a good looking nigger, But yon can't come in No" use knocking at the door," has recently become very popular ii Connecticut, and was rendered witl fine effect on a recent occasion, whei many thousands of voices joined ii the dionis. We aro pleased to announce that i young amateur of this city, who oecu pies an apartment over the shop o an Israelite, and who was recentl; indicted by him as a nuisance fo practising on the trombone and clari onet, will shortly come out with : new piece of sheet-music, adapted ti the bass-drum and Chinese gong, an< entitled "The Ear of the Jew Below. A very unsuccessful miner, just re turned from Idaho, gave, as we learn a private rehearsal immediately oi his arrival last evening, for thc bench of his wife, singing the beautiful sole "I bring thee an ivy-leaf Only an ivy-leaf," with such impressive skill that hi audience was affected to tears. Sh declared that the strain had a "dyin fall," and affected her very peculiarly reminding her of her unpaid milliner bills on Dauphin street. It mus have been delightful. The old combination of "Sha! speare's two plays, the "Comedy c Errors" and "Measure for Measure, continues to draw good houses at th daily Municipal matinee. Not a littl to the satisfaction of the Treasure: the performances always end with th caxiital pantomime entitled: "I lay ten dollars down, And count them one by one." It is whispered in the higher circh of society that the writer of this art eic (whose gorgeous sleeping apar m^.nts are very near the countinj rooms of two printing offices, ar who is aroused every morning, "e: the morning star," by the boysteroi and profane cuttings up of the stree dealers in newspaper literature,) seriously thinking of bringing out new drama in one act, intended chief to illustrate the true design of tl undergrowth of the country, ai styled "The Newsboy-Let Me Lil Him for His Mother."
