The sheriff and the Widow.

The Port Gibson Herald tells good story OF
which an Alabama sherffis the hero, as follows
{ Court was in session. and, amid the multiplicity
of business which crowded upon hun al term tune,
he stopped at the door of beautiful widow, on the
the sunny side of 80, who, by the way, had often
bestowed melting glances upon the sheriff atore-
said. He was admitted, and soon the widow APP
peared: the confusion and delight which the arr
val of her visitor had occasioned set OIL to gfea-
ter advantage than usual the captivating chainS
of the widow NJ Her cheeks bore the beautiful
blended tints of the apple bossom-her lips resem-
bled rose buds upon which the morning dew YET
fingered, and her eyes were like the qulVerS OF
Cupid, the gIances of love and tenderness win
which they were filed, resembling arrows that only
waited a view beau (pardon the pun) to do full
execution. After few commonplace remarks

A deeper blush than usual mantled the cheeKS
ofthe fair widow-with downcast eyes, whose
glanccs were centred upon her beautiful feet, nall
concealed by her flowing drapery, gently pat
ting the floor, she, with equal candor repil'
Il ed
Sir, the attachment is reciprocal"
For some time the Sheriff maintained an aston
ished silence; at last he said
Madam. will you proceed TO Court?"
"Proceed to Court" replied the lady, with
. merry laugh; then shaking her beautiful head sh
added, q No. SRI though this is LEAP YEAR,

granted to my sex, and therefore greatly prete

Near thee, still near Thee,

Near thee still near thee !-O'er thy pathway gl'ohg'
Unseen pass thee with the winds low sigh
Iife's veil enfolds thee still, our eyes diVldmg'
Yet yiewless love floats round thee silently
Not midst the fesal throng,
In halls Of mrlh and song
But when thy thoughts are deepest
When holy tears thou weepest'
Know thou that lovers ngh
When the nights whisper Ger thy harp strings cFeePS'
Or the sea-music on the sounding Shore
Or breez anthems through the forest sweeplhg'
Shall move thy trembling spirit to adore
When every thought and prayer
We love to breathe and share'
On thy full heart returning
Shall wake its voceless yearnlng ;
Then feel me near once more
Near thee still near theetrust my soul deeP
oh love is not an earthly TO die
Fen when soar where fiery stars are beamipg'
Thine image wanders with me through the SKY
The fields of air are free,
Yet lonely, wanting thee
But when thy chains are falling,
When heaven its own is calling,
Know then thy guide is nigh
