SAD SCENE on THE WESTERN WATERs.-A st.
Louis paper of a late date contains the following
particulars Of an extraordinary affair, which
was enacted on the steamer New st. Paul, on
her recent trip from Keokuk to st. Louis. 1t is
stated that the st. Paul started from Keokuk
with a large number Of passengers. The boat
was detained by getting aground, and the pas
sengers were sent ashore to tighten the boat.
They were thus deprived of their breakfast.
The boat was got off, the passengers were taken
aboard again, and proceeded on her voyage.
Dinner hour came, but nothing to eat was pro-
vided for them, and at the hour for supper they
Jared no better This caused great indignation
among them, and meeting was called in the
cabin. at which DR.. Anderson of Keokuk pre-
sided. Resolutions were about being drawn uT
for the acton of the meeting, when the mate and
clerks of the boat, followed by some ten Or Z
dozen deck hands, entered the cabin, dragged
the chairman to the forward part Of the boat
and tore up the resolutions!

Be OF With You Now.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

by SHAkLkS GWAlA
Be OF with you now-don't know
That it's only cajoling you areg
With cheeks like the roses soft glow,
And giances more bright than the star
Tis true that my waist is but small,
And my ringlets may curl Ike the vine,
But IN not like an angel at all
Nor am the least bit divine!
So be of with you now-don't see
You're deluding from eve until dawn?
My steps may be bounding and free,
But I'm not in the least ike fawn!
Bat twas ever the method we know,
Since Adam in Eden began,
That bosoms we're sure TO be snow,
And necks were, Of course, like the Swami
& Come, be OF with you now, till you learn
To WOO ike plain hearted yotIth;
Let your mind, II you love me, discern,
To win, you must WOO me with TRUTH
IwouId rather, instead Of these flowers,
In which you are ever 50 rife
That you'd promise to love me an hours,
As long as each other had life.

BY NARY MAY.

Fare thee well but oh, what sorrow
Fills this aching heart Of mine,
Thus the magic tie to sever,
That hath bound il long to thine;
For with that depart forever
All its light that e'er hath shone,
All the hopes that love hath cherished,
All the joys it once hath known.
Oh, when first thy gentle presence
Filled with love my youthful heart,
Little did II dream that sadly
Thus from thee it e'er could part;
For thou vast unto my spirit
Al its fancy ever wove-
The Nepenthes in its desert,
The ideal Of its love.
Many weary year and lonely.
Since those joyous days has flown,
And the love and hope l cherished
With the fieeting years are gone;
And the blessed tie that bound me
Closely, fonsilg, once to thee,
Now must ever more be broken
With its faith and constsney.
Sadly, sadly, to my spirit
Comes the last, the parsing tone,
Though thy heart no more responsive
Answers fondly to mine own
To my stricken soul il soundeth
Like nlonrnful funeral knesl.
But it never more must greet thee,
And forever fare thee well!
