and its entrance upon another year OF
existence is a fitting period to recall to
the public mind the favorable terms up
on which Its daily and weekly issues
are published; TO state some improve

and also to refer briefly. for the Infor-
nation of those not acquainted with
the paper, to some of the advantages

LITTLE LONGINGS.

LITTLE LONGINGS.
Iwish | had little wife,
IS And owned little land,
rdhave' little house upon it,
And feel little grand;
I'd want little daughter, and
i Likewise little son;
And when I'd a little time to spare,
I'd have little fun.
"A little CLASSY lake I'D have,
Well filled with little fishes;
My little pantry shelves should shine
With little pewter dishes.
Around my cot the little birds
Should tune their little throats,
And ON little hill should frisk
My little nanny goats.
I'd lounge little after meals,
And take little ease;
And if my little wife should scold,
Id raise little breeze.
Id let it rage little-then
I'd take little ''horn,"
And, little "snapp'd" 60 out and hos
My little field of corn.
As should want little cash,
I'd take some little pains,
{Since every little trifle helps)
To lay up little gains;
And then Id smile at little ills,
Avoid life's little snares;
Enjoy little paradise,
And laugh at little cares.
Theselittle longings, though, are vain
Yet little minds they bore;
And when a mortal little gets,
He sighs for little more,
Despite the little ballad says,
Or, call it little song:
"Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"

PROSPECTUS OF THE OHIO
STATESMAN.-The undersign-

ed respectfully announce to the DEMoc-
RAcY OF Ono, that they have purchased
of Col. SAMUEL MEDARY, all his inter-
est in the Ohio Statesman newspaper,
from and after the lst of July, 1845.
The paper will, as heretofore, advocate,
unfinchingly y,democratic principles and
measures, and give the strongest sup
port to the regularly nominated candl-
dates of the Democratic Party, that it
will be in the power Of the undersigned
to afford. 10 firmly support the Ma
tional Adm inistration-to maintain the
right of this country to the territory OF
Oregon-to uphold the great doctrine
of the sovereignty of the people, as con-
tended for by the, patriot DoRR--to C on
tend for the adjustment of the tariff in
such manner as shall do Justice to the
great Agricultural interest OF the West
to labor for the settlement OF the Ma
tional Finance question IN way that
shall prevent the public moneys from
becoming the means of individual ag-
grandisement--and to strenuously sup
port any measure calculated to make
the laws of Ohio embodiments of the
primo pies of Liberty and Equality, and
to give to the State sound currency;
these are the objects which the un-
dersigned propose to themselves in the
new and arduous position which they
have assumed. Their success must de-
pend upon the amount and the charac-
ter of the support which they shall re-
ceive at the hands of the Democracy of
the great Empire State Of the West,
whose voice in the National Councils
is so important, and whose example, IN
the management Of their internal affairs,
is destined to exert vast influence
upon all quarters Of the Union, and par
ticularly to give character to the leg
islation of the new communities which
are constantly arising, and demanding
to be admitted to the rights and privil-
eyes enjoyed by the members Of the
confederacy.
The undersigned have invested a
large amount CT capital in their present
undertaking. They have brought to its
support, whatever of talent and enter
prise they possess. Their interest is
Identical with that of the West; and
there is no incentive to exertIon--no
motive which can incite men to faith

Without INDUCING in personalities, like the Mer

because il receives some support from Theatres by

How many young men and boys rob their en-

There is a charm about the music and the general
performances OF Theatre that captivates them,
and induces them finally TO commit acts OF petit

1t leads greatly TO drinking and swearing, and in
fact, is the root Of almost every kind OF evil.
Even the most popular plays Of Shakespeare con
tain language which. when uttered on the stage
before a crowded audience, has a demoralizlng
effect and the may be said Of almost every
Drnrnatist in CbristendOm. And dressing females
in mems apparel is rather calculated TO make boys
lax in their morals, and their dancing on the stage
with scarcely any apparel is calculated to make
them more 80.
