Her fond love and bleeding heart

The wilhcr'd, faded wreck of beauty;
Go, see and note the wan despair
The laggard look-now settled there,
Then tell me has he done his duty
Aye, tell me, is his home now dear

"A Saratoga Maid.

A correspondent OF the New York Times gives
the following pictures Of an old maid:
The old maid, who has just driven by in u
private carriage, is character. She was II
great belle in her day, and being an hciress Ms
we'll, had offers enough to satisfy any reason
able woman, but she looked for perfection aud u
husband the consequence is she has found
neither. This suitor smoked, that onc chewed,
this one did not speak good French, and the
other spoke bad English So then she, rides
alone in her carriage, single and turned of forty
her day Of grace is past. Here are some
lines whereof she is the subject. l am aware
that some. one else has written something in the
same vein, about Il " Wreath of Roses but
still no one can accuse me of plagiarism The
metre Is like, hut you will notice tina, the ideas
are not at ull similar:
She wore a robe of muslin
The night that first we met
Her little feet were mousing
Beneath her coattipct
Her dress had all The lightncss,
Her air the stylish tone
That mark belle at twenty,
With fortune all her own.
y skirt Of rusting satin
When next We met she Wore;
The spread OF hoops and whulebonc
Was greater than before:
And standing b., her side were men
Who wocd. but wood in vain;
She sent them all to Coventry.
And they went--on train.
Yet. once again saw that form
No siGhUg swains were there
"A summer rose had faded
Shut out from sun aud air;
saw her but Il moment.
Yet methinks ! see her now,
With Il poodle in her carriage
And II wrinkle on her brow.
There. as Ben johnson said to sylvester, that
may not be poetry but I'll swear its the
truth.

The annexed bisoi wisdom are from Thomp-

Don't have too much commiscration for the
accomplished, amablc and charming wifi, Of u
deiinlter, until you know that she has not, by
extravaganza and pride, induced him to use
money not his own or to speculate with a view
to crafty hci wishes.
Don't think you are making q bargain when
You cheat customer, for. in the long ran, all
such operations will turn ont qiadruplc losses.
Don't lend money at too great u shave; for
the borrower must succeed, or hen not be able
to pay.
Don't neglect your regular business, thinking
to do better at some outside enterprise; the
chances are ten 10 one you will not succeed
Don't go to law in hurry !; exhaust Tirr m,
Ho'I before you attempt to exhaust the hegrl
remedies.
Don't get excited about politics unless yon
are quite sure that the election Of your candj
date will be better for your business, and lor
the country, than The other man.
Don't be too severe on others for not think
ing a. you think that they may excuse You ioI
not doing as they do.
Don't condemn others for their inherited dr
God endowed pecuariics; for could you buI
see yourself as you sec others, your condcmun
tion might come home.
Don't be too smart !; il is the instinct Of men
to give the extreme smart oncs, Of both gcndcrs
a wide berth
Don't be as the dog in the manner; lor som'
