MATRZM0NT.
Matrimony is nut
For every mans digestion;
When the shell is fairly cracked,
Pop. goes the question.
Pretty girls viii sigh and blush
Shipper all they can, sir
Till, from out their pouting lips,
Pop! goes the answer. ~
Cupid fans the holy flame
Rankest kind of arson
When it gains certain height,
Pop! goes the purson.
Quite throughout the honeymoon
Made of rosy colorS-
Into sundry dry goods tills,
Pop! go the dollars.
When year has shown its tail,
Round the corner, (may be,)
Out upon the happy world,
Pop! goes a baby.
Mother gives it catnip tea,
Father gives it brandy,
And adown its gastric tube,
Pop! goes the candy.
Madam lets her husband scold,
She must be the whipper,
And above the youngsters heels,
Popl goes the slipper.
Bachelor, who lives next door,
Stands it for season,
But, before the year is cut,
PopI goes his reason.
Maiden lady, up the stairs,
Stamps each moment faster,
Till, from the ceiling underneath,
Pop! goes the plaster.
Dirty, ragged little boy,
Meath the window fingers;
Thumb applied unto his nose,
Popl go the fingers.
All around the neighborhood
Such antics are enacted;
And, while mamma is scolding him,
''Pop'' goes distracted.

Courting the Widow and Marrying the
Daughter.

A romantic affair came off in Philadel-
phia last week, the particulars of which are
thus related
Mrs. B, a handsome and rich widow,
and the mother of pretty daughter of If
teen summers, by some means became ac-
quainted with a young carpenter, who. al
though fine looking man, was in rather
poor circumstances. The carpenter visited
the lady's residence very frequently, gal
lanted her to church, the theatres, ETC.,
scarcely ever paying any marked attention
to the daughter, who sometimes accompa-
MED them Madame Rumor, with her
thousand tongues. soon noised it about that
the carpenter and the widow were about to
be made one, and his friends congratulated
him on the prospect be had of so shortly
being able to chang mp his hat" The wild
ow, too, was complimented by her scquaint-
ances, and in fact she began to think that
the thing would take place, although the
carpenter had not. as yet, popped the
question" With the craft naturally pos
sessed by '"widders,' she threw out a hint
to her gallant at his next interview, and
from this hint he took it for granted that
she was anything else than aEefse to mat
rimonial union with him. He thought it
was time to act, and undeeeive the lady,
which he certainly did, and astonished her
too. for next morning he: eleped with her
daughter. This set all the gossips in the
neighborhood going. and they one snd all
pronounced it .'scandalons.'' The girls
mother, however. being woman of sense,
is taking it philosophically, and has forgiy-
en- the young people, who are now doni-
ciled at the family residence She. gives
her daughter credit for the shrewdnesss the
latter exhibited in her ,courting. and also
the carpenter for his, discretien in picking
Of the two the youngest and the prettiest.
