GOODBYE AND HoW-D'FE-DO,


BIT W. SPENCER.
One day Good Bve met How.d'ye-ds,
Too close to shun saluting;
But soon the rival sisters fell
From kissing to disputing.
:" Away! (says How-d'ye-do) your mein
Appals my cheerful nature
No name 81 sad as yours is seen
In sorrows nomenclature.
Whenever give one sunshine hour,
Your cloud comes in to shade it;
Whenever plant one bosom's fewer,
Your miidew drops to fade it.
Bre Hov-d'ye-do has tun'd each tongue
To hopes delightful MEASURE
Goodbye in friendships ear has rung
The kne!l Of parting pleasure.
From SORROWS past. my chemic skill
Draws smiles of consolation
While you from present joys distil
The tear Ct separation"
Goodbye repii'd, "Your statements true,
And well your cause yen've pleaded;
Bot pray aho'd think OF How.d'ye'do,
U.less Goodbye preceded.
Without my prior influence,
Could YOU have ever flourish'de
And can your hand enc fewer dispense,
But what my tears have nourish'ds
How oft, if at the court Of Love
Concea,ment be the fashion,
When How -d'ye-do has iail'd to move,
Goodbye reveals the passion
Hew oft, when Cupid's fires decline,
As every heart remembers
Oue Ugh Of mine, and only mine,
Revives the dying emberss
Go, bid the timid lover choose
And I'll resign my charter
II he for ten kind Aow-d'ye-does,
One kind Goodbye would barter.
From love and friendships kindred source
We both derive existence
And they would each lcse half its force,
Without gu, joint assistance.
IFS well the world ur merit knows,
Since, time there's no denying)
One half in How-d'ye-do,ng goes,
Aud ,'other in Good-bveing.

Law, there were two kinds Of obliga

kind. and that if this act should pass,
it would. by absolving the debtor from
payment. reduce the obligation from
one of the perfect to one of the imper
feet kind. and thereby violate the prin
ciples of justice and DESTROY the vail
dity of contracts. which would not BE-
fair, not fit far congress to do.-for.
