Ladle*' Laggagc. How happy is tbe single lifo Of all the priests ami monks! Not one of whom, bas got a wife To botber him with trunks And band-boxes, n load too great For man or horse to bear, Which railways charge for over weight, And cabs ask doable fare. Fell care, ns when your bride you post, Distracts your anxious mind, Lest this portmanteau should be lost, Or that be loft behind; H?r baggage, aa you travel down > Life's bill, weighs moro and more ; And still, as balder grows your crown, 13 cc o m OR a greater boro. Outstretched by fashion vile nud voin, Hoops, petticoats, and vesta, Now British females to contain Be q u ir o no end of chests; To which bags, baskets, bundles, add, Top numerous to natue, Enough to drive a poor mnu mad, A Job with rage inflame. The cab keeps swaying o'er your h cud, With baggage piled above, Of overturn you ride in dread, With her whom you should love; Then yon, tho station when you gain, Must see the lumber stowed, And fears about it in the train Tour heart and sonl corrode. Thus does your wife eaoh journey spoil Of y oars, that she partakes; Thus keeps you on tho fret and broil, Your penco and comfort breaks. With all these boxes, all her things (How manyi) to enclose, The fair encumbrance on you brings A wagon load of woes. -o THE KALI. OF THE CURTAIN. BY WATTS rHTLIilPS. The fun of the fair was at its height. On every side arose the hoarse shouts, oaths and load laughter of the men, mingled with the shrill mirth of the women, the crying of babies, and the screaming of children, while above this choking, tearing, stifling mass of life, the music from the shows rolled in billows of sound from every point, and meeting nbovo the heads of tho struggling mob, ending in a tempest of clamor. In every lull of this storm was heard tho shout? ing of the rival showmen. "Mermaid!'' cries one exhibitior, with a derisive laugh, as he keeps np a running commentary upon his rival's announcements. "Well, she ain't worth mach, though you buy her by the pound, and weigh her in her own scales. Why don't you let the young lady come out and take a walk on the platform? She'll bc eaten up with tho rheumatiz a sittin' so long in ber wet small clothes. Let's seo what'? next. Ohl a ?andwidgo Islander as will eat raw meat! And who wou'dn't?"-this query be addressed to the crowd-"aud bc glad to get it, these hard times?" Thu speech is rewarded by a shout of approba? tion from the crowd, with the majority of whom "meat at any price" would form an appropriate motto. "Gentlemen and ladies!' roars another showman. "Ladies fust!'1 from the frowd. "Ladies and gentlemen! Walk upi and seo tho bootiful Maid of Cii Rashes, orig'nally the favorite Sultaney ol the great Sham O Tartary. She was rescued from her captivation by a noble English gentleman, who brought her over to thia country, and afterwards -." "Sold her to pay expenses," puts in the first show? man, amid a shout of laughter. Whal 'ave you got to show i.gin' her?" asks show? man number two, .'pith increased auger. "Whatl Everything in tho world that'* coorious and strange." Then, addressing the mob, who, with great impartiality, applauds both speakers alternately. "La? dies and gentlemen, I will now introduce t< your notice the celebrated Jim Panzee, 01 Wild Man o' the Woods. Ho will bo brought afore you for a few soconds, loaded with chains, becos' of his untameable fee rboity, and then taken back to his cage, where all who would witness his amusing tricks, and subject him to a nearer iuspec tion, can do so by mountin' the ladder, ant payin' their money." There is a lull of ex pectation, speedily followed by a burst o applause,, as an individual, hermetical!, sealed in a hairy envelop presents himsei upon the platform. Bound his waist is i broad belt, with enormous chains attached the ends of which aro firmly grasped by tw< herculean strollers, who show such un mis takable signs of au oxtromo trepidation that the effect upon the spectators is tro mendons. "There!" says the triumphan showman, "look at that! It's a sight yo; don't see ev.^ry day." As there is n deny ing this assertion, it is rewarded with i shout of applause. "This reo-markubl croetur," ho continues, pointing to the gen tleman in the hairy envelop, "is the famou Jim Panzeo, or Mau Monkey, as lives iu forest of h-oax, one of which ho pulls a; ever,y morning for n walkin' stick. Ho ha the strength of twenty men, builds hisscl a house of branches, and sits on tho rool 'day and night, to koop it from blowin away, which shows his uncommon sagacity He leads a grimgarious life in thc most dis solute places, an* dies a solitary death i the buzzum of his family. Tho creature i supposed to be a man in his wild state, bi; thiB is rejected by the public ot large, ri uncomplimentary to humanity." "Can li tark?" asks a 'gentle shepherd,' from th crowd. "No," replies the showman, "li expresses hisself by signs, and is intractnbl to all but his keepers." "Take his bea off, some of ye!" shouts ono of tho rivi showmen. "They've sewed tho poor ma up so tight, that ho can't breathe." "That a lie!" cries, with a startling suddennoa tho irascible and indignant Chimpanzee, i the samo time springing to the end of tl platform, he stretchos over the rail, aa ? deals the last speaker a thwack that induces ! bini to display an agility and utter a howl that would not haye disgraced the monarch i of apea himself; but swift to the assistance lot his leader comes one of his spangled I warriors, and, bounding up on tho rival platform, he belabors the mau-rnonkoy with tho speaking trumpet ho carries, till the un? fortunate creature is ns uncomfortable in his hair shirt as any monk of theThebaid. Not slow are other combatants to join the fray, and rushing up the ladders comes the mob, roaring and irresistible. The eau vas paintings that adorn the booths aro rent into shreds, a portion of the boarding is broken in, and, as the number of tho rioters inorease, the platform itself begins to crack, and nmong tho or?es of tho men, and shrieks of tho women, slowly to givo away. Tho rush np is now changed to a rush down the ladder, but tho pressure against tho rail in front of tho platform each moment increases till it snaps in several places ami precipitates nearly a dozen persons, thc owner of the Chimpauzeo among tho number, to tho ground. "Stund away from him; givo him air!" *'He's dead!" "Noa ho. beaut-he be a-nigh it tho*!" "Carry him to the Norfolk Armsl" A dozeu hands now lift, gently lift, the old showman from tho ground, he giving no indication of life either by word or sign. Tho sad procession them moves slowly through tho crowded fair, the mob, oven where it is most thick, making ready way. Tho loud hubbub subsides for the moment into something like silence ns tho body is borne along. Suddenly the lips of tho before seemingly lifeless mau part, and ho murmurs a word, but murmurs it so faintly that those around have to bend down close to catch his meaning. It is but ono word-"Joe!" "That's his son! He's gone to see tho great folk going into tho j ball at tho assembly rooms.'.' "Fetch him, and be quiok!" * * * * * ? In a small room with a sloping roof, upon a truckle-bod covered with a tattered patch? work counterpane-a true omblem of his chequered life-lies tho old showman. The blankets and sheets have been removed by express order of tho landlord. At tho bed's headstands tho Chimpanzee, whilo on either side aro grouped confusedly such members of tho troupe ns can bo spared from the show, to attend their unfortunate leader. Suddenly tho painful stillness of tho room is broken by a wild cry, and, birsting through tho circle around tho bcd, a uoy throws his arms about tho dying mau, who, as though the sound had called back thc retreating life, opeus his glazing eyer;, ami gazes into tho little fuco bent over him then a smile slowly brightens on the stroll? er's lips, as, with an effort, ho places hil arms about the child's neck. "It's littk Joe!" ho says; "my little Joe!" Tho bo\ answers hy a sob. "I've been a waitiu' foi you, Joe." Hero tho door is again throwt: open, and into the room a little man, in ful evening dress, wearing upon his self-corn placent and closely-shaven countenance ar expression scarcoly in accordance with it usually stereotyped amiability. This is thc doctor, whom half a score of clamorou; messengers had summoned from thc Couutj Ball, at tho Assembly Booms, opposite "Well, and how aro we now?" says tho doo tor, jerking out the words moro from Imbil than any other feeling, as ho approaches th? bed-side. "We're purty well, thank'eo,' says the Chimpanzee, who took upon him self to reply for tho company, "and mucl obleeged to yo for axing; but its my unfor tinit mate as requires your intentions.' Tho doctor stares in somo surprise, not i littlo mingled with alarm, for, as wo hav< previously mentioned, tho Wild Mau in tb Woods still retained his hairy costume "Get out of tho way, boy," says tho doctor as he stoops over tho old stroller to muk' tho necessary examination, pushing littl Joe aside as he does so. "Don't send bin away, sir," pleads tho showman, faintly "We shall soon be parted far enough." "I ho your son?" asks the littlo brisk man somewhat moro mildly. "Yes, sir.'' "I there any hope?" "Hope?" repeated th doctor, iu his sharp, quick tones. "Why no-yes-that is, there is always hope wini there's life, you know. Internal hemoi rhage; bad, very bad case." Descendinj the stairs, the doctor is followed down b tho Chimpanzee, to whom he gives a not to dolivor to Mr. Splint, his assistant "He'll como himself with tho medicine, nu stay hero till the case ia over." "Over! "Well, under, if you like it better. Ha ha!-ahem! Very bad accident-very." " know'd there was no hope," groaned th Wild Mau," "when I seed him down, au half tho fair a t ambling a-top of him. "Scarcely fair play, that! Ha! ha! abeu: but, no, no! thank you, my good fellow, for tho man, after much awkward manoot vering, was striving to thrust a few .shilling into tho doctor's hand. "Keep your mc ney-quite unprofessional to refuse a fe< but ([int.: right, under tho circumstances. And, after re-adjusting his toilette, tb little doctor skipped merrily across tho roac as though those terrible words, sickness an death, had ceased to have a meaning in ot langnage. The showman had dropped o into a sleep, or rather lethargy, for he wi evidently sinking fast, and as quiet lui been strictly enjoined by tho doctor, tl careful Chimpanzee gave tho sobbing boy rough admonition with his foot; this bein unattended to, ho took him by the colli and led him to tho window, tolling him " givo over if he couldn't do it softly." "Ye ain't no feeling to go tokin' on in th fashion ! It's time enough to mak a row tho fnueral, for thou you can't wake nobot with your hullaballoo." "Let me sti here!" said tho boy, in a tone ot mingle entreaty and fierceness. "He shau't he me. Seo, 1 eau do this when I'm going cry too loud." And ho bit his lips till tl flesh grew white and then crimson be nea his sharp teeth. "You're a good litt chap," said tho man, with more kinduc than ho had yet displayed, "and when tl old 'un's gone," he jerked his thumb bac wardB in the direction of tho bod, "you ?h?in't want a friend BO long as I'm to the fore. On'y keep quiet-, an' call me when he wakes; I'm going SO tnk? a. whiff of :bucca outside the door; I feel quite faint-like for want of it. Besides, should he rouse up all of a sadden an' see main thia queer toggo ry, bo might t uk o mo for somebody oise, which is a reminder as none of us requires at such moments." With this ambiguous .speech, the Chimpanzee, after taking from the showman's pocket (fthose outer-clothing had been carelessly flung upon a chair) a pipe and tobacco-pouch, quitted the room. ?Little Joo had turned away towards the window, und remained with his forehead pressed against the glass, down which his tears were silently dropping. Beneath him was tho roar and tumult of tho crowded street, thc flashing of carriago-lamps, and tho glimmer of busing wheels. Opposite to him were tho Assembly Rooms, brilliant? ly lighted, and through the windows of which ho could see tho dancers-beautiful women and elegant men -moving in what appeared to him to bc au endless maze, au inextricable confusion. Streams of life, flowing gracefully us water, weaving and interweaving, gliding apart, only to meet i ngaiu iu soma yet moro exquisite combina- I tiou of thrace and motion; tho whola govern- j ed by tho breadth of the music that came to him in {/ashes. At last, a strange fear carno over tho boy; bo listeued eagerly for some sound-tho prolonged silence alarmed him. Ho crept away from tho window, and on tip-toe approached tho bed; bo looked ea? gerly into tho white and ghastly face that, to his disordered fancy, seemed almost lu? minous amid tho darkness around, for the doctor had so placed tho caudle that its rays no longer fell upon the bed. Ho bent down and watched for a tremor in the eye lids, a movement of the lips, a stir in the shadows about tho mouth. Ho listened for a breath -not ono came; and tho dew of fear hung in beads on his forehead, and lay cold on his cheek. He sprang erect, and was about to scream to bis father to utter ono word, but oue, to give assurance of life, when thc breath again passed through the parted lips, the breast of tho wounded man heaved, and respiration went on slowly as before. The poor child listened for a moment, then, from very thankfulness, covered his face with his trembling bands and wept aloud. 1 At this moment, tho door of the room i opened, and several members of thc troupe entered; while, ns if in mockery of the sad scene, a burst of lively music rose up from tho street. With a suddenness that made those around tho bed recoil, tho old show? man shook off his lethargy, and started up as again tho music rose like a wave, aud broke with a crash against the window, i "Play 'em out! Play 'em out!" cried tho [ old man, iu a loud and joyous voice. "If it hasn't been a tip-top performance, it's been an honest ono, aud they've bad their money's j worth! They'vo had their money's worth!" He fell back, and tho red stream of lifo carno bubbling to his lips; at tho samo time, the music ceased and nothing was heard but the trampling of many feot. "It's all over!" he murmured, "All over, Joe! Ping down the curtain!" Aud when tho clash and tho clamor of the music sounded again, the curtain had descended between tho poor old showmau and his late audience, forever. ABOUT POLITICIANS.-That politicians uro u bad lot, seems to bo a current opinion. That it has good grounds, we do not ques? tion; but the term is used so loosely that it can hardly contributo to accuracy of state? ment or justice of thought. Hamilton and Jefferson were politicians; so were Callender and Froueau. Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun woro politicians; so were, andar?, Capt. Rynders and Georgo Francis Train. The man who devotes his time aud mcaus to enlightening his less fortunate fellow citizens and qualifying thom to exercise wisely, beneficently, tho right of suffrage, is a politician; so is the persistent sell seeker, who spends his time and efforts in dark and dirty intrigues to lift himself and cronies into places which they never de? served aud for which they are wretchedly qualified. The public must learn in time to make proper aud necessary distinction*. Whether it is practicable to conduct tho affairs of a free pcoplo without politicians, we do not decide. There are tboso called politicians whom thc Stato could well do without; others whom it could ill spare. Wo shall always be glad to seo able, upright men called into the. public service who had not previously been considered politicians; and yet we judge that, it would be difficult to uphold au Administration which gave its confidence to theso only. Let us have of? fices filled from the ranks of our best citizens, including tboso who have, as well as those who bave Dot, beon known as politicians.
