why Don't the Girls Propose

The men are shy, the ladies cry,
Their minds they won't disclose;
If il be so, I'll like 10 know
Why don the girls PROPOSE
AT splendid balls, in dazzling halls,
Amid IA host of beaux,
with speaking eyes, and timid signs,
The ladies' might propose.
Ye maidens fair, now laughing there.
So coyly with your beaux,
Take my advice, don be DER nice,
They'll wed do-you propose.
When stern papas and cross mamas,
All marriage schemes oppose.
And beaux are shy, there's no cause why
The bellies should not propose.
Poor Martha Mears, for forty years,
To wedlock was opposed;
But now she signs, and whmp ring cries,
- wish had proposed. y
Then pity take, for Hymen's sake,
On these unhappy beaux,
Who are, poor elves, too shy themselves,
A marriage to propose.
Pray ladies'. do propose.

The YELLOW FEVER IN SAvASMAH.-By the
last arrival from the Atlantic side, we have fear
full accounts of the ravages of the yellow fever
in some of the southern cities. The following
portion of a letter written from Savannah makes
q sonl-sickening portrayal of the terrible desc
lation which has resulted from its presence in
that city:
You can scarcely imagine the devastation the
fever has caused in this city. At present we
have not population of over 4,500 white peo-
pie, and the deaths average sixteen to eighteen
per day. 1t is with much trouble that people
can be found to perform the sad offices of the
dead. A great number of our citizens have fled
In terror from the scene, leaving their business
TO take care of itself as best it could. All the
principal hotels are closed, and it is with diff
Guilty board and lodging can be. obtained by
those who have no families. l do not think
however. that the fever can go onsmuch further
II Tor no other reason, it will be for the want of
victims to feed on. On our whole range, a dis
lance of about four Philadelphia squares, there
Is out one store open besides the one with which
am connected, and to-day the last man in that
store died. | cannot describe the suffering
among the poor people We noed money for
tneH. Oh. how much we need il Some of
tnose unfortunate people are actually dying for
want OF attention. No servants can be obtained
and the distress is heart-sickening to contem.

THORN, THE MiLLIONAIRE, AT SARAToGA-A
correspondent of the Mobile Tribune, dating

American Prince:

emperor Of France in the splendor of his turn

horses, richly caprisoned, to the most splendid
carriage in Europe. The Emperor, unwilling
that any one should go in better style than him
self, ordered him to appear no more III the streets
of Paris with the aforesaid establishment

grooms and servants took their position to per-
form the feat of mounting the fair Miss To her
saddle. She placed her foot IN the white gloved
hand of the groom on the left side, who grace

chance it should drop that way. Then came
the maids to adjust the riding dress and place
her foot in the stirrup. This and similar cere-
monies with her sister being accomplished the
beaux and attendants mounted, the old folks as

She can't well do without me

And Oh what faces, what faces
What petuant pert grimaces

But at times like pleasant tune,

Oh, then she's sunny skies OF June,
And all her pride iorsakes her
oh she dances round me SO fairly
Oh her laugh rings out so rarely
OH she coaxes and nesiles and purrs and prizes,
in my puzzled face with her two great eyes,
And says, love you dearly -
Oh. the Queen is proud on her throne,
And proud are her maids So fine;
But the prondest lady that ever was known
