From the Boston Centinel and Gazette. 



The followinT So-~^ written \,y „ gB„;|eman of tins 

 city, vvns 3iing aTthe Collation given by the Massachu- 

 setts Charitable Mechanic Association, on ThursJay 



evening : — 



XuNE — Yankee Doodle. 



The Boston Workies t'oihet day 



They tOHk a sorto'notion 

 To have what some folks call a Fair — 



And make a great commotion. 



Old Faneuil Hall they got, of course — 

 Where they their things might send all — 



And then they borrowed Quincy Hall 

 Of Livermore and Kenrlall. 



They built a curious kind o'Biidge, 



Tlie space between to kiver — 

 And country folks, when they came in, 



Thought Merchants' Row a river. 



And such a pesky sight of things 



As they got there together. 

 Was never seen in all the world, 



The new or old end neither. 



Tliere's guns and pistols, cannons, swords — 



Umbrellas, flutes, and stickles — 

 Flannels, mills and cooking stoves. 



Hats, hose, stocks, gloves, and dickies. 



Machines to winnow, thresh and weave — 



For punching, planir;g, sawing — 

 And, then, the Painter ch;]ps have sent, 



Some specimens of Drawing. 



They've set a furnace in there too. 



They say it beats all othe:s — 

 It would have made the place too hot 



For Shadrach and his brothers. 



A Rail-Road, too, that goes like fun — 



I never travelled in it — 

 But them 'ere cars, I guess, will run. 



At least a mile a minute. 



Then there's another great machine, 

 That makes an awful splashing — 



That hakes and stews, and roasts and fries, 

 And does up all your washing. 



There's lots of Silks and Woollen Goods, 



And Cottons, too, in torrents — 

 The finest Wool you ever se'ed 



From sheep of one Sam Lawrence. 



They thought they'd have a fine Address — 

 At least they would endeavor it — 



1 guess they had as 'cute a one 

 As any man has ever 'writ. 



They've brought us here to Concert Hall, 



To eat like all tarnation, 

 A breakfast, dinner, supper too — 



Thai's what they call Collation. 



And then, to finish ofl^ their F'air, 



To a gool end to bring it— 

 They pot a chap to write a song, 



And then got me to sing it. 



I say now, you — there's no niistiiko, 



I tell you, howsomedever, 

 What Boston Folks set out to do, 



They does it mighty clever. 



Troubles of a IMARRiiiU Man.— My Dear 

 Mr Editor: I .linilit not that evf.ry one is called 

 to experience more or less trouble, but I hope, for 

 *'' 'iwl'.Cr Cf ".'. Cir.r.r,, «iin me comtort o}' those 

 who are now, or expect to be liiisbiiiids, that f vv 

 exp.'rience what 1 have for the brief mouths 

 which have elapsed since I was united in the 

 bands of wedloik to on accomplished and beau- 

 tiful girl, of a ncisliboriii.? city. My notions of 

 what''a wife should bt, w.ic^ not very definite, and 

 as she oti whom my all'ections were placed, bad 

 a good school education, wa.s beautiful to look 

 upon, neat in her attire, and appeared to good 

 advantage in the parlor, and among her tissociates, 

 I considered her nil a man in my model ate cir- 

 cumstances could wish. And since my marriage 

 she appears as well as ever in these particulars, 

 but I find she is lacking in the most important 

 qualification of a Good Wifi:— s^c understands 

 nothing about domestic affairs! 



She cannot make a loaf of bread, or cook a 

 piece of meat. For instance, I purchased a ten- 

 der beefsteak for dinner, and she was totally at 

 loss how it should be cooked. In the first place 

 she put it in a tin pan and placed it in a " baker" 

 or portable oven, and set it before a hot fire, till 

 it was dried to a crisp, and then, concluding it 

 would not be eatable, she put it into the pot and 

 boiled it ! You can judge how a hungry man 

 would feel on going home, expecting to eat a 

 hearty dinner, anil have placed before him such a 

 mess. She undertook to bake a plum pudding, 

 and kindled a fire in a portable furnace, put the 

 pudding into a tin pan in the bakekettle, and 

 placed it over the furnace, and kept live coals (Ui 

 the top of the bakekettle till the wIioIj pudding 

 was a solid coal !— and she probably would have 

 put a shin of beef on the spit, to roast, had I not 

 ' informed her how it should be cooked. These 

 are specimens of iny troubles. What shall I 

 do? 1 cannot aflTonl to hire help — and indeed 

 my wife is opposed to having help in the house. 

 Ought mothers to be so totally regardless of the 

 comfort, usefulness, and happiness of their daugh- 

 ters, as to siiffjr Ihem to be married, without Jin- 

 ishing their education ? 



•i'ours, &c. Joseph.

 Transcript. 



Natural CoRioaiii. — We have now in our 

 possession the tooth of some unknown animal, 

 which weighs about three and a half pounds, and 

 tnoasures seven and one-fourth inches long, four 

 and one-fourth wide, and nineteen inches over. 

 It is in a good state of preservation, with the ex- 

 ception of the parts uncovered by the enamel 

 which is partially decayed by being exposed to 

 the air. This tooth, with a number of other fos- 

 sil remains, was dug up from about eight feet 

 under the surface of the ground, near the Paw 

 Paw in Van liuren county, about forty miles 

 north of this place, while digging a mill-nice. 

 We can give no possible conjecture to what sort 

 of animal this tooth belonged, unless it was to 

 the great Ma.stadon, the history of which animal 

 is only to be found in the traditions of the In- 

 dians. — jViles {Mich.) Gazette.
