But to the song ; the subject appears to be the dismissal by a young lady of her lover. The cause of this harsh proceeding is left to our conjecture; hut it must have .been for something " very naughty," as we find on our introduction to the young lady, tht she is in 4 rather excited mood, and lecturing him in manner, following : I'll shed no tears, for thee ne, . Tear would but spoil mj eyes; If thou would'st go from me- go, The -path before tfiee. lies. If other mai4 have won thee; Let others smile upon thee, Go woo them if thou'rt wise. Here, only pausing to admire the philosophical reason our fair friend gives for not crying upon the occasion-, oor thoughts at once revert to 4he feelings of that mis erable man, who is all this time standing by, looking, we suppose, very Uke a goose..

Oh when thou'xt gone in earnest, How well FU bear the bowl ! Here we learn-, by the second line, that the gentleman was about to do e. little codding on his own account, but was cleverly stopped, and once more requested to go !

We read, that " when hef was gone he still kept returning, so that for aught we know to the contrary, he may be still 'going and Krturnmg at thetime we are writing this. This line, -therefore, " Oh when thmrt gone in earnest," appears to us entirely uncaU ed for ; but k the, name of all that is mysterious, what is the- lady going to do with that awful bowl t What is it, 4 a . bourl of soup ?

THE lH)UTltjAti POBTtJRE-MAStlll -- In one of the naoers of the Gtwrdianhere is a pleasant sketch f a tersatile man of ge nius, to this effect : ' ' I remember a-verr whknauSd fettoW, commonly known br the name of the Posture-Master, "V King tfliarles the Second's reign,, who was the, plaguo of all die tailors about town. He .would oBen send tor one of .them to take measure of htm, but would so contrive H as to have ! most immoderate rising in one of his shoulders. When, the clothes were brought home and tried upon him, the deformity was removed iflto the ther shoulder. .Upon which the tailor begged pardon for the mistake, and mended it as tast as ne coma ; out upon a thLal trial, found him a straight-shouldeAd man as one would desire to see, but a littfo unfortunate in a hump back. In short, this wandering tumour puzzled ail the workmen about town, who found it impossible to accommodate so changeable a customer." Our 'readers, we fear, will be too ready to apply this descripiion to tire erratic Senator from South Carolina, Who has ot late so per plexed our'SarforiafT bretWn of the Press, in their wetl-intentioned efforts to furnish hjm with appropriate iiabilimenis. Every attempt to take his measure, or as lie calls the3pera ti(n, "to define his position," results in a fail ure. He "plays' such wickedly fnntastic tricks with this' same wandering tumour, that no one knows how to arrange the sack In the grment for its proper reception. One' while It indurates into Gohi6litl-4tion and Centrali zation; at another it oldats up fearfully into Nullification; and then again swells out enor mously into -a States Rights enlargement.

Altho' 'hey are working men of good repute, and employ very fair materials in their business, lltey can't accommodate themselves to the va rying freaks an'd fashionable innovations in dress required by this class of cusiomers ; and what is worse than all, lltey have but one 'pattern in their shop for a political suit; the Jefferson' cut ; and that, unluckily for politi cal Pasture-Masters ts the- oldfash1oned cmt, straight-bre'ajited, wilK the upright collar.
