Miscellaneous. From the Boston F.reninir Gazette. A KICK .IT THE IMS II IONS. When Adam, in Eden, fir-t airn'd up the sod, Anil Eve, our great grand mother, rambled un shod, Not a tailor was there to enliven the scene With coats wilhuut pockets, ami truwsers ob scene; No peltieoats puzzled the good woman's brain, No help in her kiich?u, no gown with a train, No hoops round her heel, and no cord round her middle To make her resemble an old fashion'd fiddle. ijut the old devil came, in the form of a snake, And he made grandpa Adam to dres like a rake, While Eve, nothing backward in very fine grace, Wore a girment lut reacifd from her heels to her wait. But soon her lair daughters more righteous had grown, And tried to offsft what their grandmother done, By shortening thir dresses a cubit or more, Now scant in the rear, now scanter before, Till at length they hive got them so short and so small, That, by gradious! they seem like no garments at all. And the gentlemen too, in their haste lo excel, Have changed for an Olio their natural smell, And now in tight trowsers, as tight as their skin, That are tight to get out of, and tight to get in, They strut upon 'change, with their backs on their shoulders, And their legs hanging down like two ivory folders; And where their good eyes should be doing their duty. Are a piir of green goggles, to add to their beamy ; With canes in their hand?, and small hats on their nobs, They resemble a half finished journeyman's job. Then say, ye good people, if once our Creator, Looking o'er man as he made him by nature, Pronounced him quite good, without nonsense or clothes, What would he say now to our belles and our b.-aux! J. E. I). THINK OF ETERNITY". Think not of age with all its cares Nor yet of youth with all it joy , Of things that are, or things to be, Think only of Eternity. And are you young, and vain, and gay, Or yet by age grown staid and grey, In either case you wisely may Think deeply of Eternity. And oh! if on the bed of death you lie, -Ere yet you close your wearied eye, Or brealne to friends a farewell sigh, Think calmly on Eternity. "When friends for you have ceased to sigh When you have passed forgttn by, And in the cold the cold srrave lie, , happy happy may you be, For endless is Eternity. Love, Courtship, and Matrimonii. At tlio Chelmsford petty Session, Vm. I5iirker, of Wooilliam Kerris, a decern looking "married man," was dinrsed with attempting to break the bonds of IlynuM) with a broomstick, and, the said bonds being rather tough, damaging in ihe effort Mrs. Barker's head. A few short years ago, Master Bar Jeer reached the pinnacle of rnatdiood; there he sut for a lime, dazzled by the rustic beauties around him, and ejacula ting Indeed, I must a courting go, Tho' girls I 3m afraid of; For truly now I want to know What sort of stuff they're made of. To courting, then, hn went with all his heart, and courting, of course, brought on thoughts of matrimony. Visions of con nubial happiness, and social fire-sides, and children running to "lisp their sire's return," rose upon his imagination, coupled, of course, with one Miss Mary, to whom love or something very In deed, he could not help thinking A wife would make a good house stuff, b she were downright clever; And Mary suits me well enough, Bhe would let me have her. To Mary he accordingly hurried, and af ter sundry giggling unc, gjj,, nnd hints of drowning, i all of which Useem'd asif hish,art would break I lie bullous off his jacket. M-.rv (Viiiscnted to let him have her, and) all things went uhV swimmingly for a time. But nla! "i change came o'er the spirit of his driMim" frowns began to Hi' along the horizon of matrimony the grumb ling of the storm was heard in the dis tancc; and he soon discovered that An hour of bliss Is follow'd by an age of care. For the first fortnight only, the matrimo nial barometer stood at smiles and kiss es then it sunk to contradiction then to Milkv and, at last, to blows. Fi nally Master Barker threatened to kick Hymen out of doors for jilting him; but as he felt no immediate desire to visit the "shades below," he proposed to send Mrs. Barker upon this voyage of discovery, that he might have the pleasure of at tending to her epitaph. Breaking her heart, however, was out of the question; that was loo rough a material; and he, therefore, proceeded to operate; upon her head, for which he was now called upon to answer. Mrs. Barker appeared terribly afraid of being sent oil on the voyage aforesaid, and declared she dare not live with her husband again. Indeed, both parties appeared quite prepared to Part without the least regret, Except that they had ever met. In default of finding sureties not to send the "weaker vessel" on the uncom fortable cruize for the next six months, Master Barker was sent to ruminate for that period on bread and water and matrimony. Curious Challenge. An Irish gen tleman, an obseiver of rural life in both countries, has offered the following sin gular challenge to a man in England. He proposes that he shall go hit" any market town of Mealh, on a fair day, without notice beforehand, ami select 1U0 men of that country; and 'hat the En glish gentleman shall go into a market town in any part of England, also w ith out notice, and choose 20U; 'hit the par ties so selected shall meet on the Cur ragh, on a day to be fixed in August 1834, without any weapons, and that they shall make the following trials of strength and skill: That the two parties be drawn up opposite to each other, at a distance of 2 yards; that they close at a signal; that no blow shall be given; and the challenger wagers 1000 that the 100 Irishmen will throw the 200 Englishmen to the ground; each man once thrown, to be removed, and not to be allowed to take further part in the contest. Fifty sovereigns have been deposited by each party, ami the English gentleman for feits unless his countrymen are on the ground on or before the 1st of August. Dublin. Despatch. C?The thieves of Brussels have a dopted a novel method ofgaining admis sion into the shops they intend to rob. About eight or nine in the eveuiii". thev enter and make some trifling purchases, and having paid the money, ask permis sion to leave until the following morning a large basket or box, which they have at the door. The unsuspecting trades man consents, little dreaming of what it contains, which, in fact, is a boy, who in the dead of the night, at a given signal from without, comes out, opens the door from within, and admits his accomplices, who strip the premises of its valuables. This scheme was tried a few months ago, but the people of the house, some time after the basket had been left, heard something stir, and on opening it, dis covered a lad about 1G years old, who, with his hiding place, was delivered over lo the police.
