Sunshine Of Matrimony.

II is folly for girls to expect to bc happy
without marriage; every woman was made for
a mother; consequently children arc necessary
to their peace of mind ms health IL, IL you
wish to behold melancholy and indigestion,
look at an old maid; IL you would take peep
at sunshine, look in the face Of young mother.
Now, | wont stand that" replies my aunt.

The Summer Webs.

The summer webs .hat float and shine,
The summer dews that fall
Though light they be, this heart of mine
Is lighter still than all.
1t tells me every cloud is past,
Which lately seemed to lower
That Hope hath wed young Joy at last,
And now's their nuptial hour!
With light thus round, within. above,
With nought to make one sigh.
Except the wish that all we love
Were at this moment nigh;
II seems AS il life's brilliant sun
Had stopped in full career,
To make this hour its brightest one,
And rest in radiance here.

From Washington.

The Republics home correspondent fur
nishes what follows:
AFLoRIDA WAR.-We are about to have
Emusic from Florida, and Uncle Sam must
pay the piper. The people Of that sovereign
State have made up their minds TO get rid
of the Indians remaining there, at what ever
hazard. The War Department here is fairly
worn out in its contest with the cunn.n, OF
The negro Abraham, and are,I fancy, FL ID
TO have Florida take this job off their hands.
1t is the opinion of those best informed
that this troublesome band numbers one
hundred and twenty warriors.
