The hgo Impediments.-A rich buX-
ON widow, of certain village in Penn
sylvana, became enamored Of hand
some young Yankee PedIar, with whom
she was in the hibit Of trading, when
ever he CHANGED to go that road
Finding that all her modest hints to
elicit a formal declaration from the
travelling merchant had only been
thrown away, she at last condescend-
ed TO introduce the theme herself and
had the pleasure TO hear himconless that
he had long thought of the subject
rs one dearest to his heart; and that
there were only two impediments in
the way of their mutual happiness,
which she alone could remove. The
delighted widow begged him to men,
ton them, and pledged herself for
their removal. "Alas, madam" re-
Piled he, "when name the first only,
! fear you will abandon me to despair. "
'Fear not, sir, but name it" "Know,
then, loyeliest OF your sex, that | can
never be happy with wife, be her af-
foctions, virtues, and accomplishments
what they may, until can make her
mistress of a comfortable habitation,

obstacle to their union. The pcdler

Even sexton likes to have things
regularly done. A man was buried
the other day at Richmond who was
detested throughout the neighborhood
for his churlishness and avarice. and
not tear being shed at the consign-

sexton, alarmed at this new order of

DO your bosoms glow, as you soar for home
Where the blasts of winter may never conner

When we think Of the land our feet has pressd
Of the shady bowers and cool blue streams
Where we bathed our wings meath the sum

With the sweet, enhancing notes well sing.

Say, are no pangs by those soft breasts isit,
At leaving the home where infancy dwclt
Fallen is the leaf from the forest tree,
And hushed is The hum Of the honey bee;
Tine flowers are strown DER the frozen carth'
Faded & wthcred from whence they had birth
The prospect is changed, and sad and drear,
Our young ones are 1cdged and our mates are
here,
All gathered together, joyous band,
and nought do we leave but our native land.
Il is even so-and your songs are Ger
hat say, shall they charm my heart no more;
The nests you have built at my lattice pane,
When the Spring returns will you seek them
again
Yes, Nature hath given restless wing,
and back we will come at the voice of spring;
With our glossy wings we will clear the foam
Of the rushing sea, TO regain our home.
Oh wandering ones, ere again You come,

May have strctch'd my wings, sweet ones, like

A land that's free from toll and pain,
