Bring sorrow to my lonely heart;
For can seldom think of it
Unless the burning tear-drops start.
'Tis sad, sad o, very sad indeed
To bear an Orphans lonely part.
My mother thou art dead;
Deep is the earth above thy clay-cold breast
Cold is the hand that used to rest
In blessings on my head.
Two weeks had passed away since | left
home, and had heard no tdngs of my mother.
Oft rs the evening cast its shadows over earth
its somber shades would bring tho't of home,
and the loved hour, when baby would be asleep
in the cradle, and mama rested after her short,
uneasy slumbers, would call me TO her then |
would get chair and climb upon the bed, and
lay my little head close beside her on on the pill

There is holy Quietude about it which reminds

SPEECH OFZACHARIAH SPICER.

On the question, +" which enjoys the greatest
amount of happiness, the bachelor or the marri-
ed man!
Mr.. President and Gentlemen--Ir rise to advo-
cate the right of the married man. And why
should not claim to know something about
the institution, | do. Will any gentleman pre-
tend to say that do not? Let him accompany
me home. Let me confront him with my wife
and seventeen children, and decide.
High as the Rocky mountains tower above
the Mississippi Valley does the character of the
married man tower above that Of the bachelor
What is bachelor? What was Adam before he
got acquainted with Eve! What but poor,
shittless, helpless insignificant creature. No
more to be compared with his after-self than a
mill-dam to the great roaring cataract of Niaga-
ra. [Applause.1
Gentlemen, there was a time--I blush to say
it-when too was bachelor; and more mis-
cradle creature you would hardly expect to find.
Every day toiled hard, and at night came
home to my comfortess garret--no carpet, no
fire, no nothing. Everything was in clutter,
and in the words of the poet
Confusion was monarch of all he surveyed"
Here lay pair of pants, there dirty pair of
boots, there play-bill, and here pile of dirty
clothes. What wonder that | took refuge at the
gamng-table and bar-room. | found it would
never do, gentlemen, and in lucky moment
vowed to reform. Scarcely had the promise
passed my lips, when knock was heard at the
door, and in came Susan Simpkins after my dir
ty clothes.
"Mr. Splcer," says she, "Pve washed for you
six months and | havn't seen the first red cent
in the way of payment. Now should really
like to know what you are going to do about
it?"
felt in my pocket-book There was nothing
in it, and knew it well enough.
"Miss Simpkns," says |, it's no use denying
it. havn't got the pewter. wish for your
sake had"
There" said she promptly, 81 don't wash
another rag for you."
"Stop" said l. "Susan, | will do what can
for you. Silver and gold have none; but il
my heart and hand will do, they are at your SER
vice"
"Are you in earnest?" says she, looking lit.
tie suspicious.
"Never more so," says |.
"Then," says she, "as there seems to be no
prospect OF getting my pay any other way,
guess III take up with your Offer"
Enough said" We were married in week
and what's more,we havn't repented it. No more
attics for me, gentlemen. live in a good house
and have somebody to mend my clothes. Wher
was poor, miserable bachelor, gentlemen,
used to be thin as weasel Now am PLUMP
as porker.
In conclusion, gentlemen, if you want to be
poor, ragged devil, without coat to your bacl
or shoe to your foot; if you want to grow
old before your time, and as uncomfortable. gen
orally, as "hedgehog rolled up the wrong way
advise you TO remain bachelor; but if yo,
want to live decently and respectfully, get mar
ried. Pve got ten daughters, gentlemen, over
powering applausc,] and you may have you
pick.
Mr. Spicer sat down amid long continued
plaudits. The generous proposal with which h
concluded secured him five sons-in-law.

WOODWORTHS YOUTHS CABINET.
IA New Ballad for Yankee Doodle--6y Brother


"a Ne,c Ballad for Yankee Doodle-76y Broth
To every body, far and near,
In all this Yankee nation,
Who'll hear my song, I'd like to give
This piece of information:
ChoruS.-The Cabinet is just the thing
For merry boys and girls, sir;
There's nothing like it in the land,
That's making such noise, sir
Woodporths Youths Cabinet (the name
Scarce fits my jingling measure)
Is the young peoples magazine,
That yields unceasing pleasure.
Among its rivals, It's the best;
It beats the whole to pieces;
Tis made by "Uncle Frank" for all
His nephews and his nieces.
1t treats of strange and curious things,
In nature and in art, sir;
There's nothing wondrous in the world
That here plays not its part sir.
1t tells its readers, now and then,
Offamous men and women;
Ofbeasts and birds of fishes too,
And Of the sea they swim in;
OF travels, voyages, and deeds
Ofperil, and of glory;
In chats in prose and poetry,
In fable and in story.
1t hunts for curiosites
In near and distant places,
And pictures, racy, rich and rare,
It's treasury embraces.
Its riddles, puzzles and charades,
Too numerous are to mention;
The time would fail me to rehearse
The things that claim attention.
Whoever reads its pages DER,
(There's no mistake about it,
Is sure to find, ere he's aware,
He cannot do without it.
'Tis issued every month, you know;
And please these facts remember;
The volume now has just commenced,
'Tis finished next December.
And by the way, 'twere well to note
Another circumstance, sir:
For one whole year, you've but to pay
One dollar in advance, sir
So please the money now enclose
To Woodworth, Ne,O York City,
One hundred eighteen Nassau street
And will end my ditty.
