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.

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.
