EVENING STAR.
A COLLoQUY WITH MYSELF.
BI BERNARD BARTON

BIT BERNARD BARTON.
As walked by myself talked TO myself
And myself replied to me;
And the question myself then put 10 myself
With the answers give to thee.
Put them home to myself, and IL unto thyself
The responses the same should be,
% look well to myself, and beware Of thyself.
Orso much the worse 70, thee.
What are Riches !-Hoarded treasures
May indeed thy Golfers All;
fet, Ike earth s most tieeting pleasures
Leave thee poor and heartless still.
What are pleasures when afforded
But by gauds which pass away,
Read their fate in lines recorded
On the sea-sands yesterday.
w nat is Fashion Ask Of Folly,
she her worth can best express.
what Is mOping Melancholy
90 end learn Of Idleness.
What Is Truth Too stern preacher
For the prosperous and the gay;
But safe and wholesome teacher
In adversity's dark day.
What Is Friendship IF well founded,
Like some beacon's heavenward glow;
IL ON false prstsnsiOns grounded,
Like the treacherous sands below.

The LfOMcss of the Hour.

"We learn (says the New Orleans Dclla) that
Mary Ann Steward, who was yesterday released from
the work house because it has been asceraned that
her mother, who had recently died in Engh land, had
left her some six thousand dollars, is surrounded by
sutors already, and advantageous offers OF marriage
are coming in upon her both thick and fast. The
poor girl, who but yesterday occupied lowly berth
in the work house. is now the mistress OF fortune
and commands the respects OF all the world"
OF course. Such is the way of the world
Mary Ann, without the legacy, might have lain in
the work house till she rotted, and would have
cared baubee but Mary Ann, with the legacy, be-
comes quite different being. 1t is astonishing how
much better living statue 'noks when golden light
is cast upon it, Then it with beauties, that,
before, were-nowhere.
We hope that Mary Ann will have sense enough to
keep her money and eschew marriage-unless she
can find better man than any Of these sudden suors
can possibly be.
