THE DAILY TIMES.

The FARMERS DAUGHTER.
one may not in the May dance,
With Jewelled maidens vie
She may not smile on courtiy swans
With soft bewiiching eve;
she cannot boast form and mien
lha' lavish wealth has bought her.
But ah she has much fairer charms,
The farmers peerless daughter
The rose and lily on her cheek
Together love TO dwell:
Her laughing blue eyes wreath around
The heart witching spell !;
fer smile is bright as morning glow
Upon the dewy plain
And llst'nlng to her voice we dream
That spring has come again.
lhe tmid fawn is not more wild.
Nor yet more gay and free;
The lily's cup is not more pure
In all its purity:
VI all the wild flowers in the woods.
Or by the crystal water,
There's none more pure or fair than she.
The farmers peerless daughter
The naughty belle whom all adore.
On downy pillow lies
While forth upoL the dewy lawn
The merry maiden HES;
And with the lark's uprising song,
Her own clear voice is heard
Ye may not tell which sweetest sings.
The maiden or the bird.
Then tell me not of jewelled fair
The brightest jewel yet
Is the true heart where virtue dwells
And innocence is set
The glow OF health upon her cheek
The grace no rule hath taught her
The fairest wreath that beauty twines
Is for the farmers daughter.

A PosER.-We were handsomely stripped up"
in discussion the other day, with pretty young
Miss of our borough, on the proposed change in
ladies' dresses. After puttingn "bggest lcks,"
as we thought, against the contemplated innova-
ton, the yonug lady very naiveY knocked the
noise out of us by saying--"Ah, if you men would
only permit the ladies' to adopt the Turkish Co.'S
tune, we in turn would allow you to adopt the
Turkish custom OF having as many wives as you
please" We incontinenily threw up our cap in
favor ofthe short skirts and trowsers.

A POPULAR MovEMENT.-We perceive from speech of Mir. Rhett, recently delv- cred at Lancaster, $. C., that the honorable Senator has determined to go out of the Union upon his own hook in the event of the State refusing 10 secede. Itsvery ques- tionable whether the fiery Rhett, could take any step which would call forth as much unanimity of opinion at the south in its fla vor, as the one of indiUidual secession. In fact, we think that all peaceably disposed citizens should petition the Senator in ta- vor Of accomplishing the heroic movement at the earliest possible period, lest procras- tination should cause a change of mind and thus destroy his last hope of immortality

MIR. FILLMORE IN OHIo.-It will be recol- lected that the Whig State Convention of Ohio nominated Gen. Scott for the Presi- dency. In allusion to this, the Chilicothe Gazette says:
 Notwithstanding the action of the Wings in convention at Columbus, at the time our excellent State ticket was nominated we know that there are thousands, of the most substantial, trusty Wings in this State, who would prefer to see the gentleman who at present fills the presidential chair nominated for re-election; and believe that his moderate, dignitied, enlightened, and patriotic discharge of all the duties of his high office, entitle him 10 the great consid- eration of his Whig felow-citizens, both North and South, as their candidate for the Presidency in 1852.
