Hor. BUT GooD.-A good deacon, away up
IN Maine, recently in addressing a Sabbath
school, made point Of the following anecdote:
Children, continued the deacon, YOU all
know that | went to the Legislature last year.
Well, the first day got TO Augusta, | too
dinner at the tavern. Right beside me, at the
table, sat member from one of the back towns
who had never taken dinner at tavern before.
Before his plate was dish of peppers, and he
kept looking and locking at them. And, final
ly the walters being mighty slow in bringing
on things, he up with his fork, and in less tina n
no time souzed down on one. The tears came
into his eyes, and he seemed hardly to know
what to do. At last, splitting the pepper into
his hands, he laid it down by the side of his
plate, and with voice that set the whole ia.
Bile in a roar, exclaimed:
Just lie thar and cool :"

THE PRRssiIlD,rrNr1 AND THE orrrcp srrKrl

THE PRESIDENT AND THE OFFICE SEEKERS.
There can be but. one opinion as to the sug-
gestion we are about, for the second time, to
make, with reference to the President and the
scrambers for office. If Mr.. Lincoln is honest
in his declaration of desire 10 save the Union
and prevent civil war, he will not hesitate to
adopt and act on the suggestion. ..s.
II is this. Let him infrrm the indecent
crowd of Office beggars who are now besieging
the very citadel of his mortal life. for bones
scraps and crumbs from the Presidential table,
that he will not make one appointment until
the restoration Of peace, and that he who
works hardest for the preservation of the Union
will be able to present tina best credentials fol
an Office. But, that they must not stay in
Washington 10 engage in that patriotic work
but leave that Inflated district as the field o
labor for himself and his Cabinet-but go, each
one, to his respective home and there worI
for their country with the energy, pertinucity
and zeal that they have been laboring for thei
dear, sweet selves. - if.
II the President will adopt this policy. tn,
musqui,o and eallinipper season will close ia
Washington, and the public functionaries will
gain enjoy that sleep so necessary for brainl
exercised on affairs of State, and the country
will be saved. sE'A"4 u s4+3 'Ab.t.; :

Sallie aud /.
By ANNIE N. DUGANNE.

sY ANNIE N. DUGANNE.
We're in the market-Sallie and l.
Ara there no bachelors wanting TO buyi
None Who have courage enough to propose;
None who have wisdom enough to disclose
That they'Ye shirts without buttons and pants with
out straps,
They have vests with frnged edges, and coats with
torn flaps,
And their last winters hose are minus of toes,
And their uncovered heels are like to get frOze.
For lack Of such bodies as SalIie and
70 attend to the wants and the woes we espyi
We are no cOquettes-Sallie and l.
So free loving dandies need moi apply
Beautys admirers or Wits devotees .-s.
Need not approach. for never shall please;
Bus we know ola circle whose names are untold
In Fames shining temple or mansions of gold.
Whose lives without spot, or blemish, or blot,
Have won them the honor the world givelh not
For SUCH worthy bachelors, SolIie and
Sull vat IA the matket-will ye not buyl
Unsullied Virtue. Sallie and /.
Oay can offer to those who apply
Hearts warm and loving we've sIrIven TO blend
With hand ever ready in need to befriend;
And oar lips seldom gossip, our feet rarely roam
Beyond the charmed precincts of chi ldhOods sweet
home
And 70 wash, brew or bake. small splutier we make,
Fo' "Quiet and Thrift is the motto we take
o. rare are such housewives as Sallie and /;
Lonely old bachelors " i'll ye not buy!
We're IN the m arket-Sallie and l.
Shall we be left in the market To die!
Swiftly youths aeeting years us go.
DINNER the RAYS from Hopes beacon light glow.
And the dimPles where Cupid hath chosen his bed,
Too long left unkIssed. will be wrinkles instead
And our hearts. like the May. will forget be gay
IfiIves fragrant blossoms ne er dawn on our way;
Sch rs the petition SaIlie and

he called on all hands TO 60 blind. "PI go
