IF l COULD HAVE MY WAY.
BY MRS. VALENTINE ROBERTS.

If | could have my way,
What customs | ould break,
What fashions old destroy,
And nice new laws I'd make;
Husbands should never fume,
And wives should hold the sway
What blessed times they'd be,
If could have my way.
IF could have my way,
I'll tell you what I'd do;
I'd hay the single wed,
And NJ the married true;
No doue should then exist,
No lands dare say may"
Whate is wife should ask,
If ~ have my way.
I'd ha aw enforced,
Th, iar no gentleman,
Withoai v.fe's consent,
Sho't ~ out after ten;
No wi ud venture then
Anadgri word to say
For ladies IL are pleased
If thy jas have their way.
Old bachelors I'd tax
No matter high or low
They'd soon get married then,
We're taxes levied so;
Old maids I'd pension well
For this with truth say,
They would not single dwell,
If they could have their way.
But, ah. tits vain to wish.
So, since it cannot be,
A word of good advice,
Dear gents. pray take of me;
If a woman's smiles are dear,
You've but kind things to say;
Ne'er fear that she will frown,
So let her have her way.

Kentucky Electioneering.

Gov. Powell OF Kentucky, tells a couple
Of good ones on himself When on can
vass preceding his election, he stopped at a
cabin on the way side, on the Eastern noun
lains of the State, for bit of dinner. The
good housewife served him with better re-
past than he expected-tender and juicy
fresh venison being one of the courses, fol-
lowed by a tempting display of pastry. Cut
ting into one Of the pies, and tasteing the
same, his palate was entirely propitated and
he paid his compliments to the lady by way
Of making inquiry.
MADAM, THIS is very delicate pie, but
upon my word, | don't know what the fruit
is in it-pray tell me- if you please"
"Why, stranger, where did you come from?"
demanded the dame in tun.
"Well, am from the lower part of the
State, but no such fruit as this grows there.
Indeed, madam, am ignorant of this fruit,
and beg you will inform me what it is"

and he was elected in spite of his ignorance

On another occasion he stopped for sup

former. The poor woman had neither sugar

ABOUT MARRYING.-The Bulletin says
''lhe exhibit made in a late number of the
Assurance Magazine, will startle and distress
a great many worthy San Franciscans. It
shows that between the age of 20 and 25
the probability of widows remarrying is
three times as great as that a bachelor will
enter upon "the holy bonds" &c.; that at 80
the widower has four times thu chances of a
bachelor; that from 80 to 45 the widower's
chances are five times the bachelors; that
at GO the bachelors hopes and resumI tions
are only as one of eleven of the widowers.
Considering the scarcity Of marriageable
females in California; this is very mel

opportunities till their wisdom teeth are
fairly out and their moustaches fully grown.

who hath had shall be given, it seems of the
Joys of the earth.
PREcAuTIoN-It is the custom for many
to take their entire family to camp meeting;
and to prevent confusion, the little people
have tickets pinned to their dresses, with

Marthas Vineyard, bright little lad was OBJ
served among the throng of visitors, who
was tcketed thus: Tent No, IA. Do not
give this boy any candy.

The cause of the excitement which has so
long disturbed the country. and produced
such sad results at Harper's Ferry was de-
scribcd 10y Daniel Webster in the United
States Senate:
Now, sir, this prejudice has been produc-
ed by the incessant attri,ion of Abolition
doctrines, by Abolition presses, and Abolition
lectures on. the common mind. No drum
head IN the longest DAYS marcI, was
more incessantly beaten than the feelings of
the public in certain parts of the North.
They have been beaten every month and
every week and every day, by the din and
rub-e dub of Abolition lectures, and that it
is which has created these preiudices."
