SALLIE AND |.
BY ANNIE VI. DUGASSE.
We're in the market--Sallie and L

We're in the market--Sallie and /
Are there no bachelors wanting to buy?
None who have courage enough to propose?
None who have wisdom enough to disclose
That they've shirts without buttons, and
pants without straps,
They have vests with frinsed 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 budies as Sallie
TO attend to the wants and the woes we espy7
We are no coquettes-Salie and /
So free-loving dandics deed not apply
Beauty's admirers or Wits devotees
Need not otapproach, for we never shall please;
But we know of aeirce whose names are un-
told
In Fame's shining temples or mansion of gold,
Whose lives without spot, or bemish, or blot.
Have won them the honor the world giveth
For such, worthy bachelors, Sallie and
Still wait in the market-wil ye buy?
Unsulied virtue, Salle and I,
Only can offer to those who apply
Hearts warm and loving we've striven to
blend
With hands ever ready in need to bsfriend;
And our lips seldom gossip, our feet rarely
roam
Beyond the charmed precincts of chiIdhood's
sweet hose-
Aud to wash, brew OF bake, small splitter we
make,
For Quiet and Shrift is the motto we take
Oh rare are such housewives as Sallie and !;
Lonely old bachelors, will ye not buy?
We'er in the market-Salie and L
Shall we be left in the market to die?
Swiftly youths tleeting years over us 30,
DINNER the rays from Hopes beacon light
glow,
And the dimples where Cupid hath chosen Lis
bed,
Too long left unkissed, will be wrinkles in
stead
And our hearts, like the May, will forget to
gay
If Loves fragrant blossoms neer dawn on
our way:
Such the petition Sallic and
Offer tn bacheors--pray, will ye buy?

4 Valuable Lesson to u Gmaester.

The Independence Beige tells the fol-
lowing story of a young man who had
|squandered ut the gaming-tablc of one of
the German Baths his entire fort une,
amounting to about eight hundred thou
sand francs. He had lost, succossively,
park, cIu,teau city mansion and coun-
try house, and there remained to the un-
fortunate ganestcrs, out of all his es-
tates. onl single spot of ground "a
small orange plantation-which he had
carefully excepted from his other stakes.
The winner Qor bis antagonist through
out had been the same persom was an
Englishman, phlegmatic aud stoical in
appearance, but whose curiosity was a.
reused at the solicitude of the rash youth
for the preservation of dilapidated and
seemingly useless greenhouse, contain

are you going to do with this?' he asked
Let US play for it. Never, replied the
young man. This orangery is souv-
entr. relic of my childhood. My moth

but | would blow out my brains rather

those trees 1t was just one blossom
that was about to propose as q stake.
Since you have nothing else, will play

som. viii you consent to it?'-'But
what could you wager on your side against
il flower, if should consent to play?'--
"Oh! mere trifle, of course. too,
would sacrifice a little sentiment. Here
is an autograph, for Instance. which |
will deposit MS n wager in Il hands of a
third person.'-The young man laughed.
and yielded. Notwithstanding his ilial
sentiment, he saw no PROCLAMATION in the
Offering of a flower to Chance. the god
who had served him so ill.-As the game
was about to commence, the EngIishman
said to the young Frcuchman, "You.
swear, on your honor, if you win, to ac-
cept the stake, however ridiculous it may
may appear to you FL swear, because
| have confidence in you, my lord. Cards
were brought; the game commenced, aud
III few moments the young man had
gained the mysterious autograph. Hc
received it with some emotion; but how
greatly was it increased, when he read
donation in regular form, of the eight
hundred thousand francs that he had
ost. The blush of shame mounted to
his face. He protested; he refused he
declared that the bargain was null. Il
have your word of honor replied the
Englishman, smiling. "The agreement
was in earnest. If | had won, should
have claimed the orange blossom. - But
mere flower against fortunef-' You
thought more of your orange trees, for
you would not stake them. than of the
eight hundred francs. The match was
caqual.' After two hours of debate, n
court of honor, having examined into
and weighed the affair coolly, decided
that the Frenchman could accept; and
he did so, on condition that Lord 4
would remain his dearest friend.

FEMALE STRATAGEM AGAINST INDIANs.-The follow
ing account Of female GOODNESS and courage is from
the Waterford (Texas) News: "The party of In
dams who passed through Jack Parker and Palo
Pinto Counties, last week, marking their way with
desoaton and striking terror to the stoutest hearts,
drew up in front of the residence of Mr. Eubanks in
Palo County, and were holding parley, and, no
doubt, forming plan to attack the house. There
was not a man on the premises at the time. Mrs.
Eubanks, her daughter and several little children,
were alone. The yard was inclosed with pickets
aboutsix feethigh. Miss Mary Eubanks, the daughter
with unequalled presence Of mind for one so young,
seized shotgun put on her brothers hat and
placed bench the pcketing SO as to peep over
without exposing her body, and then deliberately
fired at the party, which sratagem and heroic con-
duct doubtless saved her own life, and the lives of
her mother and her little brothers and sisters as the
cowardly scamps Immediately fled, no doubt belev-
ing the house was defended by body of armed
men,"

The Jew, instead of answering, asked: Did you

Western Ward, offered the following:
Be it Ordained, That poll be opened in the City
