WIDOWS.

Some people have prejudice against
widows, but for our part we never could
tell Tor what. Girls will do very well in
their places, but one widow is worth half
a dozen of them any day. Girls are so
shy, so timid, so reserved, so bashfu. -
Very few of them know how 10 make
love, and when they do understand it. il
is awkwardIy done. But widows under.
stand the whole process. They know
when TO advance and when to relreat.-
When to lay siege TO heart, and when
to attack il by storm. More cases have
sucumbed TO the dazzling bright eyes of
widow, clad in weeds, Than were ever
taken by the dreamy, melancholy orbs Of
maidenhood. Believe us, there is more
real danger in the dark and wavy tresses
of twenty-five, than turks in the golden
locks Of grildom. See, there goes one OF
them now. Scarcely twelvemonth has
softened down her excessive grief. But
woman can't weep always. They are
made of something else beside tears; and
she has already found that her charms
have not entirely faded. She has not
thrown away her sable weeds yet, but the
heavy and sombre bombazne has given
place 10 light and graceful fabric, which
shows beneath its folds the white petit
coat, and SETS off more beautifully her
symmetrical form, and falls more ele-
gandy from her polished shoulders. No
lice her little foot as she trips along. how
daintily it touches the ground, and how
adroiily she manages to exhibit the well
proportonate ankle. All, that is woman
for you But look at her bonnet, will you?
Seventeen summers could never manage
to wear it after that fashion. See how
auntily it covers her head, how many
SLY glances she is enabled TO throw from
beneath it. and every one barbed arrow
that transfxes the heart Of some poor
love-sick swain
Did you ever notice how much more
apt rather young men are TO fall in love
with widows, and girls that have passed
the summer of life, than with a young
girl! Well, here is the secret o. it
They are experienced anglers. They
know with what sort of hooks to fish, what
bait to use, and how to draw in their
prey. In this they have great advantage
over girls who are still only in April or
May. The former othree-fourths of the
courting, while the latter leave it all 10 be
done by their suitors.

THE TEACHER,

Society can never make return to the
teacher for all that he has done for it.
Their is no fortune to be made, scarcely
any lame TO be acquired, in the painful
duties which he fulfls. Destined to see
his life pass away in monotonous occu-
patton, sometimes even to meet with in
Justice or the ingratitude of ignorance,
be would often feel grieyed, and perhaps
sink under such trials, if he did not de.
rive his strength and courage from other
sources than the prospect of a present
and purely personal interest. He must
be sustained and animated by profound
sense of the moral importance Of his la
bors. The austere pleasure Of having
served mankind, and secretly contributed
10 the public welfare, must be worthy
recompense awarded by his conscience
His glory consists in aspiring to nothing
beyond his obscure and laborious condi
tion-in wearing himself out in sacrifice:
which are hardly remarked bythose who
profit by them-in short, in working fol
The good Of mankind, and expecting
reward from conscience alone.

come tardily and grudgingly to the over
tasked, faithful servant! Do censorious,

Why has his voice such heart quiVer?
All! there is a vacant seat in the pastors

day gladdened our eyes like gleam of
sunlight, lies dreamlessly pillowed be-
meath the coffin lid; gleeful eyes have lost
their brightness; cherry lips are wan and
mute, and beneath ner sable veil the lone

quivers, and for a moment nature lri-

THE LAWYERS PRAYER.

; following lines. He lived up to tue sentiments
bodied in them:
Ordained to tread tbe.'thOrDy ground
Where few, fear, are faithful found,
Mine be the conscience void Of blame,
The upright heart, tha spotles name;
The tribute Of the widow prayer.
The righted orphans grateful tear.
To virtue aud her friends friend,
Still may my voice the weak defend.
Ne'er may my prostiiuted tongue
Protect the oppressor in bis wrong,
Nor wrest tho Spirit Of the laws,
To sanetiiy avillan's cause.
Let Others, with unspairing hand,
Scatter their poison through the land
InflaIne discussion. kindle strife,
And strew with ills the path Of life;
On such her gifts let Fortune shower,
Add wealth to wealth, and power to power.
On me may favoring heaven bestow
That peace which only good men know
That joy Of joys by few possessed,
The eternal sunshine Of the breast.
Power, fame and riches | resign
The praise Of honesty be mine,
That friends may weep the worthy sigh,
And friends may bless me when die.

To wake Hens lay rsrpetualIr.

Keep no roOsters; give the hens fresh
meat, chopped up like sausage meat,
once o day--a very small portion, say
half.an-ounce day to each hen in win
ter; or from the time insects disappear in
the fall, till they appear again in spring
Never allow any eggs to remain in the
nest for what are called nest eggs, when
the roosters do not run with the hens,
and no nest eggs are left in the nest, the
hens will not cease laying after the pro.
duction OF twelve or fifteen eggs, as they
always do when roosters and nest eggs
are allowed, but continue laying perpet-
ually. II the above plan was generally
adopted, eggs would be as plenliuin win
ter as in summer. One reason why hens
do not lay in winter as freely as in sum
mer, is the want Of animal food, which
they get in abundance in the form oil in
sects..-English Paper.

1t does ones heart good to see merry
round faced farmer. So independent and
yet SO free from vanity and pride. So
rich and yet so industrious-so patient
and persevering in his calling, and yet SO
kind, sociable and obliging. There are
a thousand noble traits about his charac-
ter. He generally hospitable-eat and
drink with him, and he won't set mark
on you and sweat it out Of you with dou'
BILE compound interest as some people |
know will; you are welcome. He will do
you kindness without expecting re
turn by way of compensation-it is not
SO with everybody. He is usually NOR e
honest and sincere, less disposed to deal
in low and underhanded cunning. than
many could name. He gives to society
its best support--its frmest pillow that
supports the edifice of government; he is
the lord ol nature. Look at him in his
homespun and greys; laugh at him if you
will, but believe he can laugh back if he
please.

THE New CENT.--A specimen Of the
new cent which is shortly TO be issued
from the Mint, has reached us. Its com
position, as we are informed, is as fol-
lows: EUG Copper, s5; TIN, o.; zinc: OF. Itis
lighter and smaller than the old cent its
diameter being very little larger than that
Of the quarter dollar. 1t has a bright
complexion at present, but will undoubt-
edly tarnish as readily as the old copper
coins. The devices are those OF the old
cent, except that on the diverse, the thir'
teen stars surrounding the head of Liber'
ty, are omitted, and there is rather more
delicay in the lettering on the reverse
But beyond this, and the reduction in
size, there is not particle of improve
ment on the ugly old coins that have been
turned out Of the Mint during the past
thirty or iorty years.-Phila. Bulletin.

4 GOOD EXCUSE FOR BACHELORS
l do not blame bachelor,
II he leads single life
The way the girls are now brought up,
He can't support wife.
Time was when girls could card and spin,
And wash, and bake and brew,
But now they have to keep maid,
If they have aught to do.
do not blame the bachelor,
His courage must be great,
To think to wed modern Miss,
II small be his estate.
Time was when wives would help to buy
The land they help to till,
And saddle up DObbin, shell the corn,
And ride away to mill.
The bachelor is not to blame;
If he's prudent man,
He now must lead single life,
And do the best he can.

ACTION.
ny N. s. NEZAH.

Action action all is action,
In this restless world Of ours
He who would gain health or glory,
Must not doze in idle bowers.
Motion motion ! all is notion
Worlds and atoms run their course
Suns and systems wheel their circles,
Guided by an unseen force.
Action actionl without action,
Wisdom droops, and virtue dies
Would'st thou wreath thy name with laurel
Mark each moment as it flies
Action! action bold and manly,
Is the watchword of the free
IT'S the Argus that protects US,
On the land aud on the sea.
ActiOnI action! it alone can
Break the fetters Of the slave;
IT'S the only road TO freedom
Action, fearless, prompt and brave.
Act thy part in life's great drama,
Pass beneath the Christening rod
Do thy duty, nothing fearing,
Leave the rest, in faith to God.
