Burr But, said he, if we are possessed of a
true ambition, we must concentrate all the
vigors of the intellect to an available focus.
I'll speak last, not least, of the singing, un-
der the direction of j. Q. Casweli, which
elected much praise for him, and those who
assisted him. At the conclusion of the exer-
cises, the audience seemingly left with the
impression, that an impetus had been given
TO the cause IF common school education in

turning year will show an advance ofthat in

WHEN i MEAN TO MARRY.
BY JOHN @. SAKE.

BY JOHN @. SAKE.
When do mean to marry well
'Tis idle to dispute with fate:
But if you. choose to hear me tell,
PRAY listen while fix the date -
When daughters haste with eager feet,
Amother's daily toll to share;
Can make the puddings which they eat,
And mend the stockings which they wear;
When msidens look upon a man
As in himself what they would marry
And not as army y-soldiers sean
A sutler or commissaryi
When gentle ladies who have got
The offer of lovers hand,
Consent to share his ''earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot of land,
When young mocha mics are allowed
To find and wed the farmers girls
Who don't expect to be endowed
With rubies, diamonds and pearls:
When wives in short. shall freely give
Their hearts and hands to aid their sponses,
And live as they were wont TO live
Within their sires' one story houses;
Then, madam-ifI am not too old
kejoieed to quit this lonely life,
I'll brush my beaver cease to scold;
And look about me tor a wife
