/ OWE NO MAN A DOLLAR.
By CHARLES Z. sillRhs.

o, do not envy, my own dear wife,
The wealth Of our next.door neighbor,
But bid me still to be stout at heart,
And cheerfully follow my labor.
You must know, the last OF those little debts,
That have been our lingering sorrow,
Is paid this night So we'll both go forth
With happier hearts tomorrow.
o, the debtor is but shame. faced dog.
With the creditors name on his collar;
While am king, and you are queen,
For we owe no man dollar
Our neighbor you saw in his coach to-day,
With his wife and his Haunting daughter,
While we sat down TO our covcrlcss buurd,
To crust and cup Of water;
saw that the tear.drop stood in your eye,
Though you tried your best to conceal it
| knew that the contrast reached your heart
And you could not help but feel il
But knowing now that our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar,
You'll join my laugh and help me shout
That we owe no man dollar
This neighbor whose show has dazzled your
eyes,
In fact is q wretched debtor;
| pity him oft from my very heart
And wish that his lot were better
Why, the man is the veriest slave alive,
For his dashing wife and daughter
VIII live in style. though ruin should come
So he goes like lamb to the slaughter;
But he feels it the tighter every day,
That terrible debtors collar
o, what would he give, could hs say with us.
That he owed no man dollar!
You seem amazed, but I'll tell you more
Within two hours / met him
Sneaking away with frightened air.
AS if n tiend had beset him:
Yet he fed from very worthy man,
Whom met with the greatest pleasure
Whom ] called by name and forced TO stop,
Though he said he was not at leisure.
lie held my last note so held him fast,
Till he freed my neck from the collar;
Then shook his hand as proudly said,
Now, l owe no man 4 dollar ~
All now you smile, for you feel the force
or the truth have been repeating
| know that downright honest heart
In that gentle breast was beating
Tomorrow iii rise with giants strength,
TO follow my daily labor;
But, ere we sleep, let US humbly pray
For our wretched neXt.door neghbor.
And we'll pray for the tme when all shall be
From the weight OF the debtors collar
hen the poorest shall lift up his voice and
cry.

WHEN LADIES SHOULD EE LOOKED AT.--.A
writer in the Atlantic Monthly thus enlght-
ems the bellies of the street concerning the iu-
alienable rights Of men to look at their pref
ty faces
There are some very pretty, bnt unhapp.
ly very ill-bred women, who don't understand
the laws Of the road with regard to hand.
some faces. Nature and custom would no
doubt agree in conceding to all males the
right of at least two distinct looks at every
comely female cOun enance, without any in
raction of the rules OF courtesy or the senti.
ment of respect. The first look is necessary
to define the person Of the individual one
meets, so as to avoid her in passing. Any
unusual attraction observed in first glance
is sufficient apology for II second-not pro.
longed and impe!tinent stare, but an appreci.
ating homage of the eyes, such stranger
may inoilrnsiyely yield to to a passing image
1t is astonishing how morbiGly sensitive some
vulgar beauties nre to the slightest demon
straton of this kind. When tady walks
the streets she leaves her virtuous iudgna-
tion countenance at home she knows well
enough that the street is IA picture gallery.
where pretty women framed in pretty bonnets
are meant to be seen, and everybody has a
right to see them"

SCRGICAr"-Ihe Petersburg papers notice
the fact that Drs. II. q. Leigh and James
Dunn, of Petersburg, have recently perform
ed two Of the most original and interesting
surgical opera ions ever attempted in the
Uuited States. The first was upon anmvus
or al enlargement of the blood vessels, upon
an infant nine months ofage Of Mrs. Granger
The affection appeared upon the infants left
cheek, and being cougeuithl the spot had in-
creased from the size Of u dime to that OF the
egg Of n goose, forming an unsightly protu
berance, and rapidly extending over the cheek
foreshadowing indubitably early death, if not
removed.
1t was removed, as follows The nrvus
was first pierced transversey with five large
needles, which were suffered to remain thus
forty-eight hours. a ligature attached 10
each needle was then drawn through and
made to take the place occupied by them, re-
maining for eight days, at the expiration of
Of which they were drawn partially out, q
practice of vaccine virus placed upon each
and drawn carefully into the centre Of the
nrvue. lu the course of few days the ei-
fects Of the vaccine matter became apparent,
the protrusion rapidly changed its appearance
became at length mere sore and is now in u
healing condition.
The other was that Of little girl, ten
years of age, daughter of Mrs. lleiron, also
of Petersburg. While an infant she ccden-
tally buried her left arm from the wrist TO
the elbow, and owing to improper treatment,
when the wound healed, her hand was drawn
backwards 10y the scar so us to lie upon the
wrist. In tke course of time the little finger
attached itself TO the flesh of the arm above
the wrist upon which it rested, and evidently
became entirely embedded beneath the skin,
leaving only a trace of its situation. These
have been perfectly freed and restored by the
operation

One more extract fall Of of eloquenee, and
we have done. It Is the closing Of the article.
At length Napoleon ceased to exist.
The mighty eonqueror slept 10 the territory
of bis most inveterate foes; but the path to bis
tomb was reverently trodden and those wbo
stood opposed to him In life, forgot that there
had been enmty between them. Death had ex-
tinguishe1 hostility and the pilgrims who vie-
tied bis resting place spoke kindly of his memo
ry, and boarding some little token, bore it to
their distant homes to be priced by their pos
terity as having been gathered by his grave.
"The dome of the Invalides now rises over
his remains and his statue again caps the col
umn that commentaries his exploits; and one
glory controls, with arbitrary will, and singu-
lar ability, the destinies, not of France only,
but of Europe.
The nations which united for his overthrow
now humbly bow before the family they SOL
emnly pledged themselves should never again
taste power, and with ill-concealed distrust and
anxiety, deprecate resentment that has not
been weakened by years, nor forgotten in alli-
ances
Not to them alone has time hastoned to bring
that retributive justice which falls alike on en-
pires and individuals. The son of "The Man"
moulders in an Austrian tomb, leaving no trace
that he has lived; while the lineal descendant
of the obscure Creole, of the deposed Empress,
of the divorced wife, sits on the throne Of Clo-
Wis and Charlemagne, Of Capet and Bonaparte.
Within the brief space of one generation,
within the limit Of one mans memory. ven-
geance has revolved full circle; and while the
sleepless Nemesis points with unresting finger
to the barren rock and the insulted captive; she
turns with meaning smile to the borders Of
the Seine, where mausolum and palace stand in
significant proximity-the one covering the
dust Of the first empire the other the home Of
the triumphant son Of Josephine"
