When do I mean TO marry Wrll-
'Tis idle to dispute with Fate;
But IL you choose TO hear me tell,
Just listen, and Iill fix the date.
when maidens haste, with eager feet,
A mothers daily tolls to share;
Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which the! wear
When maidens look upon man,
AZ in himself What they would narTs,
And not a. army soldiers scan
A SutleT, or . eOmmissary
When gentle ladies. who have got
The offer Of lovers hanl,
Consent to share his earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot Of land !
When young mechanics are allowed
To WOO and wed the farmers girls,
Who won't expect to be endowed
With TubIes, diamonds, and with pearls !
When wives, in short, shal! freely give
Their hearts and hand, to ali t..'.. l'"uses
And live as they were wont To- live
Within their sires' one story houses
Then. madam-if I'm not too old
Rejoiced to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush ms beaVer-ccase to scD,d-
Aud look about me for vie

WITH q reck!essness and vinlctiyc; c>>
truly refreshing, men whose loyalty l. Of
n doubtful character and who arc govern
ed exclusively by mercenary motives ana
are notorious for indOrsins and prai>iiig
what the majority approves, call all who
differ from them sccesSionists. With \
selfsatistied air and matchc>s insolcnce
they boast that they are now, ever have
been and ever will be dcvot,dly attached
to the Union. In their elgcrncSs to fol-
low public opinion, they forget their an
tecedents. Take the .lia as an iilustra
ton. 1t coarsely and Indignantly and
unwarrantably a<SailS Democrats who
have given the strongest evidence of their
attachment to the Union; who have per
lied their lives and Shed ti.,ir blood loT it
on many hard fought field; whose pa
triotism is above suspicion. What are
the Altd's anteccdents? Has it always
been for the Union? las it never favor
ed secession? But short while ago the
Alta thus strongly justified secession:
"The States are sovereign and have Il legal
right-even without moral Tight-fir the iva
are entirely distinct, To- leave the Union hen
they see tit. They owe n"espidnaiioH IL any
body"
"There can be no judge ur umpire. nor final
authority 10 decide what is proper ground for
secessinn, save the will VI each individual
State"
"It would be impolitic to resort to force to
punish or even prevent secession. "
An angered State in the Union would be more
dangerous than dozen seeded States ont "i
it. IT, then, South Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama see III 10 leave the CnIun,
they can do tive can't help it,
If the Cotton States desire 10 Sec"de, let
them do 81. Under our form Of G"vernincnt
che right Of Secession is sovereign and com.
plete. The true policy TO b" pur-
sued is to permit any State or combination OF
States, which desire u seccde, 10 do So peacea-
bly,. 1t is their right beyond question Ia sever
the connection when their interests require it.
The Alta claims to bc-with what pro.
priety, fairness and honesty, let Tie pub
lie judge-an uncomprom>ng Union pa.
per! II the extracts We have taken from
il do not justify secession and contain Sc
ccsSion doctrine, we are greatly mistaken,
that's all. If we had published anything
SO Unreasonable" the whole Union" press
.Of California would have denounced Us as
traitors, and called upon Marsha! Neccs-
Sary Rabe to suppress our paper. Bot
the Alta can preach treason with iinpu-
nifty, simply because it grossly calurnni,
.ateS the Democratic party.

One evening, while an eminent" was
slashng away in his first attempt at the
character Of Macbeth, one of his favoritc
points was fairly knocked into cooked

out Of water, through the passage, tive
will proceed no further in this business, II
long, lank countrymNn arose in the par.
quct and bawlcd out, "I'm glad ont; for
SIGH bad actin never vet did see !" The
house was in a roar. The character was
not repeated.
