THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest, but not bashful,
Free and easy, but not bold,
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old;
Half inviting, half repulsive,
Now advancing, and now shy,
There is mischiefin her dimple,
There is danger i'll her eye.
she has studied human nature:
She is schooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma,
AS the mistress of all hearts.
Che can tell the very moment
When TO sigh and when to smile;
o, q maid is sometimes charming,
But the widow all the while.
Are.you sad? how very serious
Will her handsome face become;
Are you angry? she is wre shed,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb,
Are you mirthfula how her laughter,
~ Silyer-sounding, will ring out,
She can lure and catch and play you,
ey As the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty,
Who have grown so bald and wise
Young Americans twenty, -.
With the love locks in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons,
Taught by Cupid since the fall,
But know little widow, -, .- .
Who could win and fool you all.

OPposIrroN-"A certain amount of op.
position" says John Neal, "is a great help
to man. Kites rise against, and not with the
wind. Even head wind is better than
none. No man ever worked his passage
anywhere in dead calm. Let no man wax
pale, therefore, because of opposition
opposition is what he wants, and must have
TO be good for anything. Hardship is the
native soil Of manhood and self reliance.
He that cannot abide the storm without
finching or quailing, strips himself in the
sunshine, and lies down by the wayside to
be over looked and forgotten. He who but
braces hmselfto the struggle when the wind
blows, gives up when they have done, and
falls as'eep in'the Stiffness that follows.

A WoRp TO APPREETIeEs.--ln what way
do you spend your leisure evenings? IN
idleness--inl frivolous amusemenis--or in
the company Of those who will corrupt your
morals? Remember, if you would prepare
yourselves for future usefulness, you must
devote every spare moment TO study. First,
be industrious in your several employments

of them turn out worthless vagabonds -
Avoid the whirlpool as you would plague

Gus desire TO live without work. Labor is
honorable, dignifed; it is the parent Of
health, wealth and happiness; look upon it
as an invaluable blessing, and never as a
burden and curse. Shun idleness and slolh;
pursue some honest calling, and be not ash

And sympathies and feeling high
Spring like stars on evenings sky.

His signet on nv brow, r-.
And some faint burrows there have met 10

Yet Love, fond Love, chaplet weaves
Or fresh young buds and yerdant leaves,
And still, in fancy, can Irvine
Thoughts sweet as flowers that once were mint

That's fallen on my bair,

That makes the head more fairf
Sad contrast, may be, TO the brown @
Which used 10 deck my early crowny
But, let the senile tokens stay,
No impulse Of my soul Is grey.
