Mv days of fun are over now, I'm married to a wife I'm married to a wife, my boys . And that by Jove's no joke! iVe eat the white of this world's egg, And now I've got the yolk. I'm sick of sending marriage cake, Of eating marriage dinners, -And all the fuss that people make With newly wed beginners : I care not for white Champagne, I never cared for red ; Blue coats are all blue bores to nic, And Limerick gloves are kid. And as for posting up and down. It adds to all my ills, At every paltry country town. I wish you saw the bills. They know me for a married mali; Their smirking says they do, And charge me as the Scotch Greys charged 5 The French at Waterloo: I've grown to quit an idle rogue, I only cat and drink ; Reading with me is not in vogue, I can't be plagued to think ; , When breakfast's over I begin To wish 'twere dinner time, And these are all the changes now In my life's pantomime. I wonder if this state be what Folks call the honey moon ? If so upon my word I hope It will be over soon ; For too much honey is to mc ( Much worse than too much salt ; I'd rather read from end to end, The works of Mr. Gait. 0 when: I was a bachelor I was as brisk 's a bee, But now I lie on ottomans, And languidly sip tea, Or read a little paragraph In any evening paper, Then think it time to go to sleep, And light my bedroom taper. O ! when iVas a bachelor I always had some plan To win myself a loving wife, And be a married man ; And now that I am so at last, My plans are at an end, 1 scarcely know one thing to do. My time 1 cannot spends O ! when I was a bachelor My spirits never flagg'd, I walk'd as if a pair of wings Had to my feet been tago'd ; Out I walk much more slowly now, As married people should, Were I to walk six miles an hour, ; My wife might think it rude. fcfet after all I must confess, This easy sort of way Of getting o'er life's jolting road, is what I can't gainsay ; i might have been a bachelor Until my dying day, Which would have been to err at least As far the other way. : f it SAVE DE UNION!" A SONG by Uncle Sam's Cutfie A mighty angry quarrel rose AmAug de Tariff's friends and foes, And South " Callina," in a fit, "Hie Union vow to curse and quit, Uut sav&de Union old folks, young folks, Save de Union old folks, young folk?, Old Virginny never tire Virginny love her sister Slate, And much like her de Tariff hale. But while de Tariff she despise, De- Union very much she prize, So save de Union, &c. She eend her son, Mas Watkins Leigh, Be South " Callina" folks to see, To tell 'em just Jo wait a while, And better times will on us smile, So save de Union, &c. At last a man name Harry Clay, Who love de Tariff much, dey say, 5 Begin to fear its danger great, And say, " I joins my native State To save de Union," &c. Calhoun a great Callina man., Abominate de Tariff plan, But he too, say, "O yes 'tis right, i And Clay, let's me and you unite To save de Union." Macduffie too, when he see-dat, Offhand begin to smallde rat, He say "no doubt, Calhoun is wise, And. we must do what he advice, To save de Union. And when Callina hear de news, She come i nto Virginny's views ; She smile upon Mas Watkin's Leigh, And say my Nullies all agree, To save de Union old folks, younj folks, Save de Union old folks, young folks, Old Virginny never tire !

In short he ; th,e V horse at that time in all Carolina.v There wf' iCtbe sure, tyo other horses, and very fine ones t0o, entered against him but they, were no fftfrh to Sonthron. and I "was as sore of vin. I1UU VJ H Q llkf Clin.-. . 1 ning as Tarn of sitting here at this moment when who should come along but a Yankee with a tin-cart ! Hehad the shabbiest, worst looking horse you ever set eyes on. He was a lean, slab-sided, crook-legged, rough-haired, milk-and molasses colored sun of a gun as ever went on four leers. He stood all the time as it he was asleep in fact, his owner called him sleepy David. In short sir, he was such a norse as would not have brought twenty dollars. It was near the hour of starting, when the pedler, whose exterior corresponded marvel lously with that of his horse, and who said his name was Zadock Barker, to the astonishment of all, intimated a wish to enter his horse along with the rest. " Your horse !" exclaimed I "what, that sleepy looking devil there ! You'd better enter him tor the turkey-buzzards." "Not'syou know on, Mister," returned the Yankee, with some show of spirit. To be sure the critter looks rather sleepy as he stands, and on that account I call him Sleepy David ; but he's a jo-fired smart horse for all that. He's like a singed cat, a darned sight better than he looks. I should like tarnation well to try him against some of your South Carolina horses. To be sure I didn't come all the way from home on purpose ; put as 1 was coming out this way with a load of tin and other notions, I thought I might time it so as to kill two birds with one stone for, thinks I to mvself. if 1 can win the purse and peddle off my notions at the same , time, I shall make a plaguy good speck. But I had to hurry on like the natidn, to git here in season and that's the reason mv h rse looks so kind of shabby and rJut of kilter this morning. But for air that he'll perform like day's work 1 tell you." Supposing he had no idea of running his horse, and that all he said was merely to gratify his propensity for talking, I bade him be gone, and not trouble me with his Yankee palaver. "Why, Mister," said he, "this is a free country, and a man has a right to talk, or let it alone, jest as he can.afford. Now I ve taken a good deel of pains to git here this morning, in order to run Sleepy David against some of your Southrpn hosses. I aint a joking, sir, I'm in airnest. I understand there is a purse of two thousand dollars, and Ishould like amazingly tp pick it up." " You talk of picking up a purse of two thou sand dollars with that bit of carrion of yours ! Away with you and don't trouble us any fur ther.' "Well, if I can't run, then I spose I can't but its darned hard any how for a man to take so much pains as I have to come to the races, and then cant be allowed to run arter all." It's too late now by the rules of the course the horse should have been entered yesterday however, if you'll plank the entrance mo ney, perhaps you may get in yet." I said this by way of getting rid of the fellow, having no idea he could command a fourth part of the sum required. '.How much might the entrance money be ?' drawing out a purse containing a few shillings in silver and a few pence in copper. ' If it aint mor'en a quarter of a dollar or so, I'll plank on the nail.' ' It is two hundred dollars." ' Two hundred dollars! exclaimed the Yan kee, by gauly, what a price !; Why they axed me only a quarter ot a dollar; to see the ele- t r , mioiuaiiu nic w uwic ucii avail in new lorK.'cj . i -n l j r Two hundred dollars !

But, mister, don't vou think I could get in for ten dollars ?' ' Nothing short of two hundred: and that must be paid in the short space of five min utes.' We now thought we had fairly got rid of the fellow; but he returned to the charge, and ask ed if fiftv dollars wmild'nt An ih then a hundred : and findino-1,p ld n, Ll-p a bargain for less than the regular sum, he en-! gaged to give it, provided he could find any one to loan him the money, for which he offered to pawn his wagon load of notions and Sleepy Da vid to boot. He asked one, then another, to accommodate him with the loan declairng that as soon as ever he took the purse, the money should be returned, and he would give a dozen tin whistles into the bargain. He, however, got more curses than coppers, until some wag! who had plenty of cash and liked to see the sport go on, lent him the two hundred dollars out of sheer malice ; though, as it afterwards! turner! rtit lir Vonbnn l..J 1 hont him nnrl ivne mAvni i u oout mm, ana was merely playinT the possum .11 a i , J l J ts w i'oouui m. uuntt nan iiiwiiuv rnonrrn n- all the while.

" The fellow's a fool," said one. "He don't no which side his bread is but tered," said another, " or else he would'nt risk any more money on so desparate a stake." " He's sale enough there,"" said a third, " for he has no more to risk." Here, however, every body was mistaken again, for the pedler hauled out an old greasy pocket book and planked the thousand dollars. It was covered of course. But I confess Lnow began to be staggered ; and to suspect the Yan kee was, after all more knave than fool. I had no fears, however for the purse. Southron was not a horse to be distanced in one day, and especially by such a miserable looking devil as Sleepy David. The second heat was now commenced and, if I had before felt confidence in theentire supe riority of my noble horse Southron, that confi dence was strengthened, as I again saw him coming in ahead of the rest. I considered the purse now as my own property. In imagina tion I had grasped it, and was about putting it safelyiin my pocket wheii lo, and behold ! the pedler's horse, which was behind all the rest, suddenly shot forward as if the devil kicked him on end, and stretching his neck like a crane, won the heat by a head. Every body was astonished. "That horse must be the devil himself," said one. "At least, he has the devil to back him," said a third " I was sure he would play you some Yankee trick before he got through." Such were the observations that passed from mouth to mouth. The Yankee, in the mean time offered to plank another thousand dollars ; but nobody would take the bet. And it was well they did'nt ; for at the third heat, Sleepy David not only distanced every horse, but even came in a full quarter of a mile ahead of Southron him self. " There, by gauly !" said the Yankee, as he dismounted, " I'll take that are leetle purse if you please, and the tother cool thousand ! I knew well enough that your Southern hBsses could'nt hold a candle to Sleepy David.'1'' Police Office, Newbeen, 5th March, 1833 t3ROPOSAL8will be received in writing, bv the Intendant of Police, until the iOth instant, for repairing and extending the New County Wharf, and for repairing the Publick Wharf at the footjjf Pollok-Street, and that at the foot of Union-Street.
