JESSIE GRAY.
BY CARRIE A. CLARK.

Ye promised to wed me, Jessie Gray,
When the south winds rocked the clover.
When the heath was green, and the thistle red
And the barley-harvest over;
Ye promised to wed me then, Jessie,
And light was my heart, and CHEEKY.
As gaily bound up the barley sheaves,
And thought o. my highland deary
And come to claim We now, Jessie,
My flower O. the laughing Yarrow;
And he kissed her cheek and whispered low.
Oh remember love, Tomorrow
And Jessie pushed back her faxen hair.
And toyed with her plaided wimple,
Yet knew that her sweet lips answered true.
From the tell-tale blush and dimpe.

WIFE INTEREST IN THE HoMEsrEAp.-Judpe
Norton, OF the Twelfth District Court. San
francisco, decided on Saturday last that the
homestead law of this State was designed to
secure the head of family from having his or
her homestead property sold on forced sale. II
aid not vest title to property in wife. The
law, 1t was true, declared that deed by hus-
oand' without the joinder of his wife, should be
voiu out tins did not vest any estate in the
Wile, ana the property, after such deed. re-
ih'ineu IN tne husband as before. Some of the
decisions of the Supreme Court might favor ~ =
view that the wife has a positive title in a home
stead but such principle was nowhere dis
tinetiy iaid down, and the Judge was satisfied
that wife could not bring an action of a;act-
ment, or have in fact, any action upon her own
right to homestead. -e' y" Il

THE WIDOW MALONE.


Did you hear of the Widow Malone,
Ohone
Who lived in the town of Athlone
Alone2
Oh she melted the hearts
OF the swains in them parts,
So lovely the Widow Malone,
Ohone
So lovely the Widow Malone,
Of lovers she had full score,
Or more;
And fortunes they had all galore,
In store;
From the minister down
To the clerk of the crown,
All were courting the Widow Malone.
Ohonel
All were courting the Widow Malonel
But so modest was Mrs. Malone,
Twas known
No one ever could see her alone,
Ohonel
Let them ogle and sigh,
They could ne'er catch her eye,
So bashful the Widow Malone,
Ohonel
So bashful the Widow Malone,
Till one Mr.. O'Brien from Glare,
How quare
It's little for blushing they care
Down there
Put his arm round her waist,
Gave ten kisses at laste,
'Oh," says he, 's you're my Molly Malone,
Ny own !"
"Oh," says he, "you're my Molly Malone,
And the Widow they all thought SO shy,
My eye
Ne'er thought of simper or sigh,
For why
But I" Lucius," says she,
" Since you've made now SO free
You may marry your Mary Malone,
Ohone,
You may marry your Mary Malone.
There's moral contained in my song,
Not wrong;
And one comfort it's not very long,
But strong:
If for Widows you die,
Learn to kiss, not to sigh,
For they're all like sweet Mistress Malone,
Ohone
For they're all like sweet Mistress Malone.

The Debating Club.

Abont two years ago, in the quiet village of
B, existed club-no way related to the
one welded by Hercules, but a peaceful de-
batting club-at whose weekly meetings the
lawyers, doctors, ministers, esquires, and many
smaller Ciceros of the village, were accustomed
to astonsh their auditory with eloquent speeches,
impromptu ofcourse, although the question was
always selected a fortnight in advance.
Squire K, who, like others of his fra
ternity, was as well known for his rotundity as
for windy speeches, gave particular attention to
the ministers, being always the lookout for
chance to " score those priests" as he called
them. Elder c., Baptist minister had
/ lately moved into the village, and in due time
made his first speech in the club upon the ques-
ton in hand. Before he had fairly taken his
| seat, Squire K, proposing to take the
Z" starch" out of the unsuspecting priest" rose
up, eager to reply. He managed somehow to
| lug in his old TRADE against prest-craft," and
also against Z" election" doctrine particularly
odous to his notions Unpopular sovereignty
| Having, as he thought, pretty nearly annihilated
it, to clinch his argument, he added, " I remem-
ber, Mr.. Chairman, when boy, that my father
good old Scotch deacon, used to fog me
thoroughly tcice day-once for not learning
the Scotch catechism, and once for not believing
| in election. Sometimes | used to escape on the
catechsm, but on the election l never missed
the regular daily floggings, until grew up, and
then the priest tried every conceivable method
to force and scare me into it; but never be-
lieved it, and do not believe it yet. Now would
like to have my new friend, the priest, explain,
if he can, why these delectable appliances never
drove my fearful and foolish unbelef out of me- y
There was a murmur of applause as he sat
down, and all eyes turned with little
curiosity upon Elder G., who rose and
very deliberately replied:
" Mr.. Chairman, while sincerely regret the
CALLING misfortunes of my friend the Justice, l
can offer no explanation but that recorded in
the Scriptures Though thou shouldst bray a
fool in mortar among wheat with pestle, yet
will not his ytoolishness depart from him."
The house rang with laughter; and Squire
K has ever since avoided all allusion
either to the "priest' or to +" election" ."-Knick-

DEATH FROM THE GROWING OF ToE-NAIL-
A man lately died in Boston from the effects
of the growing of toe-nail" Did he? We
regret to hear of it. We regret still more to
hear that any one has lived to a mature age
without learning how to prevent the growing of
toe mail; by which we presume is meant that
frequent occurrence of the corner of the nail
growing into and OVERLAPPING flesh, in conse-
quence Of wearing shoes or boots too tight. We
have known cases of excruciating suffering aris-
ing from this cause; and only last week we rode
down town in company with a surgeon on his
way to operate on a toe that had become in
hamed from the corner of the nail growing into
the flesh. Now, to prevent this difficulty. Do
not cut away the offending corner of the nail as
is usually done very short, but cut a notch in
the centre, quite down to the quick, and keep
that notch there until the difficulty is cured,
which will sometimes be with the first cutting
The philosophy of the remedy is that the cut
breaks the arch, and naturally changes the cur
vation of the nail and makes the corners turn up
instead of down.-N. Y. Tribune

Colon OF THE AFRIcAys.-Dr. Livingston saws
When the English people think about Africa.
they imagine that all the Africans are like the
specimens we have in front of the tobacconists'
shops. This is not the case at all That is the
real negro type, that is only to be found in the
lowest part of the population. The people gene
rally are not altogether black. Many of them
are of olive color, or of the color of coffee and
milk, and usually the higher grades of society
are of this lighter color. The type we see on
the ancient Egyptian monuments is more near
the type of the central population than the to-
bacco-shop variety"

Bs5@ The following is extracted from a pri-
vate letter: ''About the 1st of August, Lewis
Munger, of Topeka, while riding on horseback
not far from that place, was terribly injured by
his horse becoming enraged. The first intima-
tion he had oft, the animal commenced rearing
and plunging, but as he did not succeed in
throwing his rider, the brute actually laid down
and rolled over, thereby bringing Munger to the
ground. Quicker than thought, the horse sprang
upon the rider, planted his knees upon his
PROSTATE VICTIM and commenced tearing his
arm and shoulder in the most shocking man
ner. Munger says he had no idea of ever get
tlng away from him alive. He, however, sue
| ceeded IN getting the horse by the tongue, and
thus conquered the tiger. He then mounted the
animal and rode home. The left arm was laid
bare to the bone two-thirds of the way to the
elbow 1t was only by the best of care and
skill that his life was saved as the arm mortified
the next day, and had to be amputated. We
are happy to state that Munger is out of danger

HsS- An article appears in the Washington
Star of the 23d of August, which is couched in
the spirit of justice and humanity which distin-
guishes the sentiments of the Secretary of the
Interior and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs
1t says that hostilites against the Oregon lndi-
are wicked and brutal, for it seems that three
years ago treaties were negotiated with several
tribes whereby $1,000, 900 acres of land were
acquired by the Government, for which it was
agreed that 81, 900, 600 should be paid, and that
teachers, physicians and farmers should be fur
nished these Indians. These treaties have been
neglected by the Senate; meantime, the whites
have taken possession of the lands ceded. The
article adds: Can it be expected that the In
dians will remain quiet until these obligations
are fulfilled or the whites cease to seize their
lands ?"

SOUTHERN SYMPATHY FOR DoUGLAs-Mr. Orr,
of South Carolina Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatves, in a recent speech, expressed his
desire for Douglas success and Reverly john
son, of Maryland, has written him sympathiz-
ing letter. Southern politicians evidently fear
the Little Giants power at the North. For the
aged President they care little His term of office
draws to a close, and his advanced years forbid
that he should remain in the political field
Not so the little field marshal of the prairies.
The Democratic party cannot escape his in
fiuence for long time to come. Whether elected
or beaten, he will continue to make himself felt.

Nor A WAsHINGroS.-A friend of ours tells
the following story of himself: When young,
he had read the well-known story of George
Washington's love of truth, and the fathers love
of the noble principle of his son, so well mani
Tested on the occasion referred to of Georges
cutting down the cherry tree, acknowledging
his transgression, and receiving full and free
pardon, besides praises and kind caresses, from
his father. So Jim, actuated by so noble an
example, thought he would try the experiment
on. He supplied himself with hatchet, and,
going into his fathers orchard, cut down some
choice fruit trees. He then coolly sat down to
await the old mans coming, and, as soon as he
made his appearance, marched up to him with a
very important air, and acknowledged the deed,
expecting the next thing on the programme to
be tears, benedictions and embraces from the
offended parent But, sad to relate, instead of
this, the old gentleman caught up hickory, and
gave his son an =" ALFRED lamming." Jim was
not Washington.
