well worn-the knave of spades had his
legs torn off, the queen of diamonds had
her face scratched with thimble, two OF

used to skim flies out of the molasses

For the Nevada Journal.
To one Departed.

And art thou gone, forever gone,
Thou lovely flower that erst was blooming,
And hast thou left me here alone,
All future joy from me entombing.
And can l never see thee more,
Thou whom of late all we're ad oring;
Has deaths dart pierced thy young hearts core,
And left me here thy loss deplorng.
Though death has chilled thy flowing veins,
Methinks with life l see them flushing;
And from thy lips fancy strains
OF sweet melodious music gushing.
Oh has thy spirit truly fled?
Thou seem'st but calmly, gently sleeping
Too true indeed, for round thy bed
Are stricken friends in sorrow weeping.
'Tis hard to yield thy beauty DER
To the dark grave, cold dread and yawning
Farewell to bid the tender flower ling.
Thus snatched away in youths bright morn
And must it be-oh can it be,
That one so like a rosebud blushing,
Slight as the blue animonie,
Has fied-my dearest hopes thus crushing
Oh, there is rising DER my soul
A pressing wave of bitter feeling;
My brains convulsed-my flesh is cold;
Alas It's frenzy o er me stealing.
But hush my raging spirit now,
Be calm and cease all thy repining;
Though have lost gem below,
On high with kindred ones It's shining.
Shine on thou farest one OF earth
Though panied; I'll fancy thou art smiling
Thy smiles will give emotion birth,
Pure, pleasant, lonely hours beguiling.

InlUckY Present.

1t is related in the "Ingoldsby Legends, "
that an old gentleman, merchant in Bush
Lane, London, had an only daughter possessed
of the highest attractions, moral, personal,
and pecunlary. She was engaged and devo-
tedly attached to young man in her OWL
rank of life, and i'll every respect well worthy
of her choice. All preliminaries were arran-
ged, and the marriage, after two or three post
ponements. was fixed, positively for the last
time of marrying" to take place on Thursday,
April IS, l8-.
On the preceding Monday, the bridegroom
elect (who was to have received Gl0,000
down OH his wedding day, and further sum
of 900 on his father-in-laws dying as
there was hope he soon would) had a little
jealous squabing with his intended at an
evening party, the "tiff" rose in consequence
of his paying more attention than she thought
justifiable to young lady with sparkling eyes
and inimitable ringlets. The gentleman re-
torted, and spoke slightingly of certain
cousin, whose wast-coat was the admira i,'n
of the assembly, and which, it was limited

the following effect:

foolish misunderstanding last evening PRAY

The Blazing Crate.
BY Z. C. J0NE :.

BY L. C. JONES.
We used to have blazing CRATE,
And would sit and sew,
And when the window-pane would shake,
How would the baby crow;
But mother said the whistling wind,
Would make our hearts more dear,
And then laid my needle down,
The roaring blast to hear.
We used TO set the table out,
And joyous was the meal,
The vapory wreath from silver urn,
Would to the ceiling steal;
And while the ruddy freight danced,
We bathed US in its glow.
W. lie every bosom warmed afresh,
And love had overflow.
We gather round the embers now,
Our silver urn is gone,
Our fathers face has rugged lines,
And mothers cheek is wan;
The polished walnut piece by piece,
Has been exchanged for bread,
And the dear babe who used TO crow,
Has gone 10 join the dead.
How stern reverses chill the heart?
We scarcely smile in woe,
And they who fight for daily bread,
Have lost Hopes ardent glow.
God be the friend of those who toll,
By al verse fate depressed,
Mid this cold earth some warmth be gained
BY leaning on His breast.

The fable l recite
Whether wrong or right
Has just occurrea-and quite
By chance
Ger yonder pasture lawn,
By hunger doubtless drawn,
An ass was passing on,
By chance.
A fute was on the spot,
Which Corydon, / wot.
On Thyres' es had forgot,
By chance.
An ass drew near to smell
When, miraculous to tell,
He snorted in so well,
By chance.
That the air which left his snout,
Made in its passage out,
A most melodious shout
BY chance.
The ass he thought, heyl hey!
What music l can play!
Though folks, perhaps, may say
By chance.
Yet without rules of art,
An ass may get the start,
And act a clever part
By chance.

With cautious step, as we tread our way through
This intricate world other folks do
May we still on our journey be able to view
The benevolent face of dollar or two;
For an excellent thing
Is dollar or two.
No friend is so true
As dollar or two;
Through country or town,
As we passed up and down,
No password so good
AS dollar or two.
Would you read yourselfout ofthe bachelors crew
And the hand of a pretty female sue,
You must always be ready the handsome to do,
Although it would cost dollar or two.
Love arrows are tipped
With dollar or two
And affections are gained
With dollar two.
The best aid you can meet
In advancing your suit
Is the eloquent chink
Oft dollar or two.
Would you wish your existence with faith to imbue
And enroll in the ranks of the sanctifed few,
To enjoy good name and well-cushioned pew,
You must freely come down with dollar or two.
The gospel is preached
For dollar or two.
And salvation is reached
BY dollar two.
You may sin sometimes,
But the worst of all crimes
Is, to find yourself short
Of dollar or two
