From the Baltimore Wetkly Magazine, 



BAKED BEANS. 

 O 1 how my heart sighs for my own native land, 



Where potatoes and squashes and cucumbers grow 

 Wliere cheer and good welcome are always at hand, 

 And custards and pumpkin pics smoke in a row ; 

 Where pudding the visage of hunger serenes. 

 And what is far dearer, the pot of bak^d beans. 



Let Maryl and boast of her dainties profuse. 

 And large water-melons, and cantelopes fine, 



Her Surtle and oysters, and terrapin stews, 



And soft crabs high zested with brandy and wine ; 

 Ah 1 neither my heart from my native land weans, 

 When smokes on the table, the pot of fcaiV beans. 



The pot of bak''d beans .' with what pleasure I saw it, 



AVell season'd. well pork'd by some rosy fac'd dame ; 



And when from the glowing hot oven she'd draw it. 



Well cripa'd and well brown'd to the table it came, 



O, give me my country, the land of my teens, — 



Of the dark Indian pudding and pot of 6a/;V ieuni. 



The pot of loi'if beans .' Ah, the muse is too frail, 



Its taste to descant on, its virtues to tell ; 

 But look at the sons of New-England so hale. 



And her daughters so rosy-'twill teach thee full well ; 

 Like me it will teach thee to sigh for the means 

 Of health — and of rapture ! — the pot otbak'd beans. 



A YANKEE.

SUNDRY RULES FOR GENTLE FOLKS. 



1. When a lady makes a splendid parly, and the 

 evening is mild, she should make her room of 

 the temperature of an oven, when Ihc bread 

 is just taken out. This will destroy M coolness 

 among formal friends, and make v:arm friends 

 hot ones. 



2. When a fashionable lady makes a morn- 

 iag call, she should do it just at dinner time. 

 She can thus see all hands at once, and know 

 what they have for dinner. 



3. When ladies and gentlemen, at a familv 

 party, or social visil, have risen^to go home, and 

 liave covered themselves with their hoods, 

 cloaks, and socks, and are ready to depart, they 

 sliould all stand in a cold entry and exchange 

 complimenls, and say last zeords fifteen or twen- 

 ty minutes, keeping all the doors open : it 

 shews that their hearts are warm as wool. 



4. When a lady distributes ice creams at a 

 party, she should send n zearming pan ioi\ni\ 

 with them, so that strangers to such notions may 

 thaw them before they szcallozi) them. 



5. A true well-bred gentleman, in the com- 

 pany of well-bred ladies, should brace himself 

 lip with his back to the (ire, and stare at the 

 beauties before him. This proves that he has 

 good courage— can stand tire — and does not in- 

 tend to be wounded in the rear. 



not George the Third always keep asking ques- 

 tions? 



7. When you are spoken to, look the other 

 way — that will bring your ear next to the 

 speaker. 



WHAt I LIKE TO SEE, AND V\'H.tT I DISLIKE TO SEE. 



/ like to see young ladies, after they have 

 left school, possess sufficient modesty, to keep 

 them out of the streets, and not expose them- 

 selves to the gaze of the idlers, who have 

 nothing to do but stand at the corner, and make 

 remarks. The brightest gem ceases to attract 

 admiration, when seen to often. 



/ like to see the waist of a lady, as the 

 hand of her Creator made if ; and not lac- 

 ed as if to correct deformity. Artifice may 

 please the vulgar, but men of sense despise it. 



/ like to sea young ladies lead the fashion of 

 their sex. Married ladies have enough to do, 

 if they will attend to their husbands and chil- 

 dren. Old ladies look ridiculous in gay attire 

 and should consult their ease more than fashion. 



/ like to see a lady's cheeks their natural col- 

 our. Paint is easily delected, and is sure to 

 disgust those whom it was intended to captivate. 



/ dislike to see young ladies blush at double 

 entendres — they should never put an immodest 

 construction on any thing that is said. If tliere 

 is any think to blush at, leave the room, or for 

 conscience sake affect ignorance. 



/ dislike to see married ladies, walking in the 

 streets with men, other than their husbands. — 

 It looks ugly ; therefore, ladies, do not practise 

 it. The world is censorious, and the less you 

 give it to talk about, the better. 



[ dislike lo sea 3'oung fops staring about in 

 church, and shilling at every lady v.ho chances 

 to look at them. — Quit it, boys, for be assured 

 it is nolhing to your credit. 



/ dislike to see married men going to taverns 

 and beefsteak houses. It looks as if " Iiappi- 

 ness dwelt not at home." — Ball. Chronicle. 



utterance. But oral eloquence is not onlv confined 

 to the limits of the voice ; but for the "most part 

 to a room, a hail, a court, or a senate house. — 

 !f its eflects were not confined in extent, liiev 

 are of necessity limited, as far as they depend 

 on actual delivery, within the bounds of a short 

 duration. A few hours of vehement e.xertion 

 will fatigue the most powerful speaker, and si- 

 lence him by the infirmity of the body, evea 

 though the (towers of the mind should continue 

 unexhausted. Oral eloquence, as displayed in 

 public harangues is, therefore, of much less 

 value to the public, than the eloquence of writ- 

 ten, and more especially of printed composition. 



Words! Words! — Some productions with 

 which tiie press is teeming in this enlightened 

 age, alford us " line upon line," without any 

 '■^precept ;" here a very little, and there — noth- 

 ing at all. We are called on to admire what aiy 

 old writer styles " cob-wed composition, a kind 

 of sleazy sluif where there is no strength of mat- 

 ter, nothing for the render to carry awav with 

 him that may enlarge the notions of his soul." 



Molicre's Grave. — The .Archbishop of Paris 

 obstinately opposed the interment of the cele- 

 brated dramatist, Moliere, in consecrated 

 ground. He carried his zeal to sucha lengtii 

 as even to resist Louis XIV., when the King 

 eiuleavoured to soften him into compliance. — 

 " To what depth," said the King at last, " doe« 

 your consecrated ground extend ?" — The Arch 

 hisliop, taken i^}' surprise, replied, " eight feet 

 sire." — " Well then," rejoined Louis, "let Mo 

 liere'.s grave be dug twelve feet deep." 



Cardinal Cainpeius. — Cardinal Campeius was 

 once disputing with a Duke of Modena, who be- 

 ing nngr3', meanly reminded the Cardinal that 

 his fatlier was a swine-herd. " It is true," said 

 Campeius, " but had it been so with the father 

 of your highness, you would have been a swine 

 herd too."

Power of the Press. — Oral eloquence can ef- 

 fect but little in i)roportion to the productions 

 of the press. It is naturally circumscribed 

 within the compass of the human voice, which

SAXON SHEEP. 



THE improvement of the breed of Merino Sheep 

 having at length been seen to be important by 

 farmers genera,lly, we are induced to offer for sale some 

 of our hesi slock Bucks. And that the proprietors of 

 flocks, living at a distance, may know something of our 

 sheep, we state that for the original stock, from which 

 the most of our present stock is derived, we paid from 

 $70 to $175 a sheep, than which none better were 

 brought from Spain. They were of the Faular, Mon- 

 tarl.o, and Negrttii flocks. They have been kept and 

 impi>"'vrd with great care ever since they were pur- 

 chr.iid, under the immediate attention of one of the 

 owiif 15 of them. With a view to a favourable cross, 

 we ii'iported in the year Ii3'22, a buck from Saxony, sc- 

 leci d liy a good judge, aiut bought without limitation 

 as to price. He was one of the first two i.iiported, and 

 Ihf choice of those two. From a cross cl tliis buck 

 with our best Merino ewes, — not ewes matured into 

 w!iat are called (M bloods, — we have fifty bucks, corn- 

 in; two years old. In the autumn of liii3, we import- 

 ed another buck and three ewes, selected by the same 

 agent ; and from these ewes we have three ram Iambs, 

 about eight monllis old. We have also seventy-five 

 half blood Saxon ram lambs, the cross of last year. — 

 The half bloods— the full blood Saxon lambs — and ci- 

 ther of the full blood Saxon bucks we oiler for sale.
