THE Vttlxiotrune MANIA.â€"Thc Liverpool Correspondent of the Glasgow ‘lierald’ sayS,â€"~»'}1‘he ‘Dandy charger" fever prevad- ed Glasgow and the Scottsh metropolis more thanfortyvears ago, at which time the velocipedeâ€"the same instrument as the pre- sent â€"was all the rage, caricatures 01 which may sti.l be sren in the Nort/ziizg Loo/ring Glass, an artistic and satirical journal, pub iisedr at the time by Heath The work is now 'very searce,and allusion to the fashion- able mania which it then ridiculed brings to memory an anecdote in some measure not inappropriate to the present. In those days the chief professional performer in Edin- burghâ€"if not indeed in Scotlandâ€" was a man named Spence. whose fame was on every tongue. He was in the habit of giv~ ing lessons on the ‘Dandy charger.’ and was reported a very rapid traveller by its aid. In those days the mail coaches which ran between Edinburgh and Glasgow ~tliere was no railway thenâ€"â€"Were looked on as marvels of rapid locomotion. A rumor ob- tained wide currency that Spence on his ‘ Dandy charger" had passed the mail coach on its way to Glasgow. This announcement cauSed 1‘. sensation, and Mr. Abraham Combe, brother to George the celebrated phrenolologist, a gentleman strongly tinctur- ed with an admiration of novelties. “as smitten by the rumor. He went forthwith, accompanied by one or two fiie ds to witâ€" ness Spence’s performance. This he saw and woundered at: but seemed a little struck with the slowness of the progress made by Spence on his two wheeled horse. He cautiously hinted his misgivit gs as to the speed attainable by the implement by saying to Spence, ‘lt it true that you, on such a day (namng it), passed the Glasgow mail on that thing?’ ‘ Yes,’ Said Spence, ‘it is true; but I was gaun yae way and it was gaun the other.

Will some one tell me when 7 For I’ve looked aback five hundred years, And I can’t think they were then. Tho’ masks and mummeries went round, And loud rang the Christmas chimes, While the blazing yule-log sparkled bright; Those were not the good old times. For the richer man oppressed the poor, And the mail-clad baron bold Extorted riches from the hind, And left him to the cold, [stout, And the priests of ,Christ were bishops Who fought and wrote love rhymes, And kings were ten times worse than they; Those were not the good old times. When Towton’s rout, and Hexham‘s fray, And Bosworth’s bloody field, Made the land groan for many a day, And rent fair England’s shield; And farther back, ’neath Richard’s crown, When England’s youth rode forth To spear the tnrbun’d Moslem down, Mail’d scoutges of the north. Nor_’neath the conqueror’s iron sway, Urgentle Alfred’s reign, For though he was full wise and good, We were pillaged by the Dane. Nor when the Roman conqueror Drove the Briton from these climes, And stopped the Druids bloody ritesâ€"- Those were not the good old times. The good old times exist alone In the poet’s merry lays, Or in our'childhood's sunny dreams, 01' boyhood's earliest days, When our greatest woes are healed With a. mother’s sooting kiss, And a painted toy, a father’s gift, Fills our little hearts_\vith bliss. But onwards, ever onwards. By the Gospel’s peaceful ray, Let us try to love our fellow-men, And be better day by day. So forwardâ€"oh, look forward !â€" Never backward, to repine, Firm is the faith that soon there’ll be A happy good new time. VARIETIES. Emmy. NOEL JONES, B A.
