AN OLD SONt WITH NEW WORDS. A correspondent of the Atlanta New Era gives the following words to the old, but ever popular air of "Ben Bolt :" Oh! don't you remember the boys ,Bill Ross, The boys with their noses so red, Who drank with delight whenever they met, And always went drunk to bed? Ia the old ~churchard, at the edge of the town, In a corner obscure and alone, They have gone to rest, and the gay young spnrigs Have dropped off, one by one. And don't you remember the jug, Bill Ross, And the spring at the foot of the bill, Where oftentimes we've laid in the hot sum mer's day, And drank to our utmost fill? The sprin[ is filled with mud, Bill Ross ; The wild hogs root all around ; And the good old jug, with its whiskey so sweet, Lies broken und spilled on the ground. 0! don't you remember the grocery, Bill Ross, And the barskeeper kind and so true, And the little nook at the edge of the bar, Where we drank all the whiskey he drew? The grocery is burned to the ground Bill Ross, 7fThe bottles are cracked and dry; And of all the boys that spreed it then, There remains, Bill, but you and I. THEY GOOD OLD DAZE.--AS longed for by Josh Billings.-How i dew long (once in a while) for them good old daze. Them daze when thare was more fun in 30 cents than there is now in 7 dol lars and a half. Them daze when a man married 145 pcunds of woman, and less than 9 pounds (awl told) of eny thing else. How I dew long for them old daze when edukashun konsisted n what a man did well. Them daze when deakons was as aus tere as hoss reddish, and menisters preached to men's soles instid iv their pockets. Them daze when pollyticks was the exception and honesty the rule. Them daze when lap dorgs and wet nusses wun't known, and when brown bread and baked goose made a good din ner. Them daze when a man who warn't bizzy was watched, and when wimmin spun only that kind of yarn that was good for the darning of stockins. How i dew long for them gocd old' daze when now and then a gal baby was called Jerusha and a boy s(varn't spilt ef he was named Jerrymier. And ye who have tried the fethers and fuss of life, who hav- had the codfish of wealth without sense stuck under yure noze, cum beneath this tree, and long for an hour with me for them good old daze when men were ashamed tew be fools, and wimmin were afraid to be flirts. N. B.-Tha used ta maik milk punch in them daze that was very handy tu take. A fast young fellow in the stage box of a -Paris theatre wrote this note in pencil, and sent it by the box-opener to a pretty actress, who, while playing, had won his heart: "Mademoiselle, when one sees you, one loves you. When one loves you, one would confess it to you. When confession is made, one would prove it to you-so won't you do me the pleasure to sup with me after the performance? My name is Thousand Francs." The actress at once replied: "Sir, I have received your note, there are st'ipider men. I have seen your face, there are uglier men. I live Rue de la Victoire. You will know no more,for my name is "More Than That." The Portland people are debating what to do with the contributions for the re lief of the sufferers by the late fire, which have now become sufficiently large to more than cover the present necessities. There are propositions to divide the surplus pro rata, according to the losses, and also to use it for loans to aid in re establishing firms in business. It is pro posed to apply a portion of the fund to the payment of the loss caused by the Portland Mutual Insurance Company, which amounts to $240,000. '"Say, boss, whar I's gwine to sleep ?" asked a stalwart freedman of the over seer, after he had been six weeks on the "Sleep! why where in the thunder have you been sleeping since I hired you ?" "Well, boss, I's bin sleeping' on top uv a sick nigger since I's bin here; but he's got well now, and won't stand dat kind of dirn foolishness no longer." Douglas Jerrold calls women's arms "the serpents that wind around men's necks, killing the best resolutions." Upon this the Brandon (Miss.) Republican says : "That class of serpents can just wind around our neck as much as they please, and if any of the young ladies believe what Jerrold says, they can come and try the experiment on us. We'll risk the consequences."~ A New Haven company has commenced manufacturing a compressed stone for building purposes. It is made of sand, pulverized quartz and silicate of soda, and hardens from the consistency of putty, in twenty four hours, to the solidity of stone.

CALVES.-On the subject of "calves," the editor of the Richmond Humming Bird is musical as follows : Domestic animals generally seem to be doing well this spring. The last few windy days have been particularly favorable for the delvelopment of "calves." There have, perhaps, been no period in the history of this city where so many of them have been seen on the streets. They mostly go in pairs. While many of them are quite slim and gaunt this spring, others appear remarkably large .nd thrifty, and we are informed that, in many cases, have nearly doubled their size in a single night. To a city bred young gentleman, no branch of stock-growing is so peculiarly interesting as this variety of live stock. A METEORIc DISPLAY.-WedneSday night a meteor arose suddenly in the western heavens, and taking a southward course, passed through the heavens, leaving behind a streaming train of fire, which measured by the human eye, was several yards in length, but in reality millions of miles. The meteor descended, and its disappearance was fol lowed by a faint "thud" as if the earth was shaken. Without telegraphic communica, tion with the moon, or any of the planets, we are without the "latest intelligence" from the terrestial spheres, and therefore cannot give the particulars. Another world gone into chaos; another globe snuffed out of ex istence by the Almighty hand, with its mils lions of inhabitants, perhaps. Who knows bow soon this earth, a meteor itself, may "shoot madly from its sphere," and be an admired spectacle for the inhabitants of mil lions of worlds that fill the eternal, boundless spaces.-Richmond Examiner. INTERESTING DIscovERY.-It is stated in the German Reformed Messenger, upon what is considered reliable author ity, that thirty thousand Christians have recently been found upon an island north of Celebes. Brokers can tell you about the daily rate of gold, and doctors about the night rate of silver.
