I.aSES-by a Lady.

william. dearest william ly the love you fondiy gave
And lovingly returned, be-. implore you-snave .
Yes shave those great mOustachos, those horrii udious
hairs,
Which make your face 80 handsome once very Ike
bears.
You say they add fresh beauty the human face divine
They may do to others, they surely don't to thine.
How you think scTubLug brush, deep tinted as
the rose,
Gould give You new attractions, when stuck beneath
your nosei
really ashamed you, thought YOU had taste
Than thus your precious time and still more precious
brains waste:
For people say-and without some truth, Think
indeed,
Moustachos the fruits which spring from brains
VIXEN run TO seed.
Then shave them William: shave tlrH-'tis this IA
ak,
hate to your handsome face quite hidden by that
mask:
hate to hear the people say the you're in vie0
"OE look athiS moustachoso the carrots brightest hue
Then by the love you bear me- and ty mine for YOU
crave
That you shave those horrii things, Wi.:am-oh: 10
shave.

WARREN Co., H. Feb. 2s, 1859.
This country has been greatly depressed
the past SIX months, and capital could be well
invested at the present time. Improved land
can be bought for SIS per acre. There IS re-
ally no price for anything save few articles
pork is S6.25 per cwt. nett; beef cattle, 80;
grass stock cattle, very low, and very poor,
in consequence OF general scarcity of iced;
corn 50 cents; seed wheat 81; oats - cents
to 81. Our crops failed last year, bat
know that we have raised mighty crops accor-
ding TO the labor expended. Twenty five acres
of corn on old ground, IS about a mans
work to attend to. We want more men from
the EaSt-men who will lay their shoulders to
the wheel in good earnest. Two or three hun
dred good lahorng men could get employ in
this County this spring; should like TO have
four besides one have, and have an empty
house for use. But the animation Of Spring
is being seen, in the renting Of lands and ex-
changing Of stock. We have had but little
sleighing here this wirter-weaher quite
moderate-south wind-and plenty Of mud
School-teaching is 4 good business. and
teachers are wanted, in This country. Wages
for males S25 to s35 per month, and SIS to
$40 for females.
There have been several protracied meet,
lngs IN these parts, attended with many con-
versions, and many more are seeking the
blessing Of God, while rowdys have been ST.
fenced, and boiserous persons brought to
sense of their duty. W.
"ln Excellent Opening for a Good Editor."-RuJ,cn.
GxE's Ballei-improyed)
Now thus as he wandered along,
A cheerleSs and comiortleSs elf,
He sought for relief IN a song,
Or complaininsly talked 10 himself.
'rve waited and waited in vain.
Expecting an opening to find,
Where an editor honest might gain
Some reward for the toll of his mind"
While thus he was strolling around,
His eye accidentally fell
On very deep hole IN the ground,
And he sighed TO himself, 1T is ,ceA''
To curb his emotions he sat
On the curb-Stone the space of a minute,
Then cries, Here's an opening at last..''
And in less than jIily was In II.
Next morning twelve citizens came,
(Twas the Coroner bade them a,tend)
To the end that it might be determined
How the man had determined his end
The Jury decided at length,
After solemnly weighing the matter,
"ThaI the fellow was drownded because
He could 'tkeep his head above waier"
