Aid for the Afflicted.

We are glad to perceive that the Howard
Association, aud others in our midst, are exert
ing themselves 10 the utmost TO obtain aid for
those suffering and endangered BY the pre-
vailing epidemic from every possible quarter.
In tic New York Journal Of Commerce a
the 9th inst, we find letter from the com
mittec appointed by the Howard Association
to solicit subscriptions in that city, in which
they say
" The fever has become cpilemie and Is
more malignant in type than ever was before
known, the deaths being fully seventy per cent
Of all that are attacked The members Of the
association are most active in their personal
e&ertions to relieve the suffering and dyihg.
but their means are becoming exhausted. Tie
sum appropriated by the City Council is alrea-
dy gone, and they now rely upon the Chart.
able to sid them in the noble work. We feel
sure the citizens Of New Orleans, and residents
Of the Mississippi Valley, who are sojoumirg
in the city and vicinity, win give literally
and we rely upon the charitably disposed OF
the city and vicinity 70 aid in this most hu
name work"
They subjoin the resolution Of The Howard
Associations upon thein---the Kew. Francis L.

ties Of members fthe Howard Association, rs
they bad been explained in the Piezyune and

call upon the absent citizens Of New 0rleans.
and Others disposed to assist them ID carrying

In her bower widow dwelt,
At her feet three lovers knelt;
Each adored the widow much,
Each essayed her heart to touch;
One had wit, and one had gold,
One was cast in beauty's mould {;
Guess which was it won the prize
Tongue, or purse, or handsome eyes!
First began the handsome man,
Peeping proudly DER her fan;
Red his lips, and white his skin
Could such beauty fail to win9
Then step poed forth the man Of gold;
Cash he counted, coin he told;
Wealth the burden of the tale
Could such golden projects fail!
Then the man of wit and sense
Wooed her with his eloquenee;
Now she heard him with sigh,
Then she blushed, scarce knowing why
Then she smiled to hear him speak,
Then tear was on her cheek:
Beauty, vanish-goll, depart!
Wit hath won the woman's heart.

How TO LAY A NERVOUS GHosT.-Judge
G., of New Hamshire, was a very whimsical,
nervous, and irritable old man; all who stten
ded his courts must wear slippers stread softly
and be particularly careful how they closed
the doors.
One day the Judge fell sick, and was nigh
unto death; indeed, it was reported, and the
belief was general, that he was dead. His
immediate neighbors of course soon discovered
that it was mistake; but as the Judge was
not popular, the news Of his recovery did not
travel so fast as had the rumor Of his death.
A gentleman from distant part Of the coun-
try was walking the streets of the shire town,
several weeks afterwards, with friend, when
to his astonishment they CHANGED to meet the
TALL snare figure of the nervous magistrate.
"Why," said he to his companion, Il thonght
the Judge was dead !"
"WeIl he did die" was the reply. "and bur
led, too for attended-he funeral. But after
he had been in the ground three weeks some
one was thoughtless enough to pass through
the graveyard with squeaking boo S, and up
came old G.! The next time he's under
ground, his friends intend to have the grave
ward carpeted. ."-Portldnd Elcctic.
