I've wandered to the village, Tom; I've sat beneath the tree, tfpon the school house play ground, which sheltered you and me; But none were there to greet me, Tom, and few were left to know, That played with us upon the green, some twenty years ago. The grass is just as green, Ton, bare-footed boys at play, Wore sporting just as we did then, with spirits justa9 gay: But "Master" sleeps upon the hill, which coated o'er with snow, Afforded us a sliding place, just twenty years ago. The old school-house has altered some?the branches are replaced, By new ones, very like the same our pen-knives had defaced: But the same old bricks are in the wall?the belt ( swings to ana iro, Its music just the same, dear Tom, 'twas twenty years ago. The boys were playing some old game, beneath that same old tree: I do forget tho name just now?you're played the same with me? On that same spot, 'twas played with knives, by throwing so and so, Tho leader had a task to do?there twenty years ago. Tho river's running just as still, the willows on its side, Are larger than they were, Tom; the stream appears less wide; Bat tho grape-vine swing is rained now, where once wo played the beau, \ And swung our sweethearts?"pretty girls,"?just twenty years agOyf The spring that bubbled 'ncath the hill, <^ose by the spreoding beeah, Is very low?'twas #nce so high, that we could almost reach; / And kneeling doyn to get a drink, dear Tom, I started so, / To soe how n^ch that I have changed, since twenty yca^mgo. Nearby t]f6 spring, upon an elm, youknow I cut your ndme, Your sweetheart's just beneath it, Tom, and you did y mino the same, Some heartless wretch has peeled tho bark, 'twas dying sure but slow, Just as that one, whose name you out, died twenty years ago. ' - ? My lips have long boen dry, Tom, but t"rs come in my eyes, I thought of her I loved so well, those early broken tics; I visited the old church yard and took some flowers to strew, Upon the graves of those we loved some twenty years ago. Some arc in the church-vard laid?some sleep beneath the sea; But few arc left of our old class excepting you and mc;; ; And when our time shall come, Tom, and wc are called to go, I hepc they'll lay us where wo played just twonty years ago. JiMg Hfccellaitg. ELOQUENT BREVITY. Once upon a time, in a certain city, there lived a merchant, whose name is not at all necessary. Times were hard, as they are now, and the merchant had received from one of his customers at a distance, in answer to a previous dun, a letter stating his difficulties, and requesting time. Agitated, not with that matter only, buJ? many others, the merchant paced the floor of his counting-room, with arms behind his back, ftnd a lowering brow. Stopping, suddenly, he turned to his clerk and said: i "Mr. -, write that man without delay." j "Yes, sir." The paper was ready, and the pen filled with ink; but still the merchant held his peace; ^ his clerk called to him ouce or twice, and not j receiving any answer, left his stool and went to remind him that lie was ready. "Well, write." ( "What shall I write ?" "Something or nothing, and that very quick." j Back to his desk went the clerk, rapidly j moved his fingers over the paper. The letter was sealed and backed, and sent to the office. * 1 By return of mail came a letter from his de- , linquent customer, inclosing the money in full of his account. The merchant's eyes glistened when he opened his letter, and hastening to his clerk, he said: "What did you say to when you wrote ' the other day ? Here is the money this morning in full of his account." "I wrote just what you told me?and kept a copy of the letter." Going to his letter book, and opening, he found the following: "Dear Sir :?Something or nothing, and that very quick, Yours, etc." And that letter brought the money.?LouUriUe Democrat. SALT RIVER. Many persons may suppose the river of this name to be a mere imaginary stream, up which 1 defeated politicians arc sent by a sort of figure of speech. In deed, it is doubtful whether one in a hundred ever thought of inquiring into its lengh, breadth, depth, or locality.? ! From the description which follows it is certain , that the exile has not much of a journey to ' - make: This river, (says Bayard Taylor.") where it debouches into the Ohio river, is not more than sixty yarjJs in breadth, but very deep.? \ Tf ;= nnrnr Vivflnhln ill t!iO dl'VOst SPUSOtl ! and, being navigable for fourteen miles above. ' has not been bridged at this point. Wc des- j cended its steep and difficult banks, embarked ! our carriages on a flat ferry-boat, and were | conveyed across. Tito view looking up the i river was very beautiful. Tall sycamore* clothed the bank, dropping their boughs almost to th'> water, and forming a vista of foli-! age through which the stream curved out ofj sight between two wooden hills. 1 hinged t<>! be rowed up it. Whjk on the spot I took oe- j casion to imjuiro the derivation of the slang ; political phrase, 'llc.wod tip Salt river/ and succeeded in discovering it. Formerly there were extensive salt works on the river, a short i distance from its mouth. The laborers employed in them were a set of athletic, beliig- i ercnt follows, who soon became noted far and j wide for their achievements in the pugilistic ! line. Hence it became a common thing ainong the boatmen on the Ohio, when one of their numbers became refractory, to say to him, 'We'll row you up Salt river.' when of course the bully snltmcn would have the handling of him. By a natural figure of speech the expression was applied to political candidates, first. T believe, in the Presidential cam-! paign of 1840. Xkc.ro Ambassador at London.?One i of the latest curiosities conic to Loudon is the j apparition of the sable envoy and plenipoten- j tiary of his sooty Majesty of all the lioytis, j Baron Pompoy. Ho has been officially re-i ceived by Lord Clarendon, and it is sliiy re-I ported that his Lordship kept a smelling bot- J tie to his dainty nose during the whole of the interview.

One of the latest freaks of his dusky nobility is ft visit he paid this week tl to Mr. Buchanan, hut that distinguished gen- si tleman happened io be out. u A CLEVER DODGE. fc At the encampment of a body of British h troops, in the province of Bojepore, in the East s Indies, one of the officers had a horse stolen, i< but the thief missing the road before he got y out of sight of the tents, was detected and e brought back. The gentleman, highly pleased at recovering li the horse, and much surprised at the dexterity tl if the fellow, who carried him from the midst n )f six or seven files of grooms, was more injlined to admire his address and expertness than to punish him. tl Next morning, his resentment having en- k tirely subsided, he yielded to his curiosity.? tl He ordered the fellow, therefore, to be brought p before him, and inquired by what contrivance be had effected his purpose. The fellow replied, he could not well tell I lis honor, but, if he pleased, he would show g bim. tl "Well, then," says the officer, "since you h ire so bad at description, we will see how you t< 3o it." t! "Now, sir, pray take notice. This is the I vay I crawled over the grooms. The next tl ihing was to loosen the ropes behind, which I e: lid thus. I then clapped a haltor?observe, t< iir, if you please?over his neck, thus." si "Admirably clever, by Jove I" cries the offi:er, laughing and rubbing his hands. vb "In this manner," convinued the fellow, I <1 jumped upon his back, and when once I am b nounted, I give any one leave to catch me vho can." ai In saying this, he gave the horse a kick, A jushed him through the gaping crowd, put lim to his full speed, carrying him off clean, ind h.ifflincr all rmrsuit.?
