ORPHEUS G. KERR AND THE CHAPLAIH.-Sun-
shine has at last resumed specie payment, my
boy, and every man that chooses can walk under
golden beams once more. The sacred soil is dry
ing up as rapidly an old maid after fortytwo,
and boOtbacks begin to quote at high figures
The General of the Mackerel Brigade is so bliss.
ful at having polish on his boots once more,
that be puts them on the mantel piece every time
he enters a room, and treads on all the toes he
can find in the street. The latter operation, my
boy, has produced much profanity, particularly
among the chaplains.
Speaking of chaplains, reminds me Of reVer-
end veteran who attended to the soul of Captain
Bob Shorty, yesterday, and found it in a high
state of preservation. Capt Bob Shorty rashly
over estimated his powers Of endurance, and un-
dertook to read Frcmont's defence When he
got to the twenty first column. he was seized
with vertigo, and only recovered to find himself
taking the measure Of a bedstead, with chap
lain standing by him.
"My friend" says the parson, :" consider it
my duty to tell you that yOu are n very sick
man, and take this opportunity to remind you
Of your latter end"
Captain Bob Shorty scratched his head, and
says he " Am bound for the kingdom? q
''You may recover" says the chaplain, -" but
now is the time your worldly affairs if you don't
Think Of yOnr wife and progeny"
"My wife I" says Captain Bob Shorty, hysteri-
cally. All, there's woman for you'll"
is she a worthy help-mate ?" says the chap.
lain
"Why," says Captain Bob Shorty, "she's mate
and captain both in my ship. She's frugal she's
amiable, she's neat, and she's only got one fault
in the world"
"Ah !" says the chaplain, only one fault =
Then she must be an uncommon woman"
"Yes" says Captain Bob Shorty, dreamily,
my wife's only got one fault in the world-she
likes another chap better than she does me-"
At this juncture. my boy, the chaplain was
seized with ii severe cough, but as soon as he re-
covered he assumed a very grave expression, and
says he:
"My friend, let me beseech you to forget all
worldly things for q time, and think of some thing
more needful."
"Drivc on" says Captain Bob Shorty
The chaplain gave grievous snuff, and says
he:
"Is there not something above all created
things that you feel in need of now? Suppose,
my friend, you were out at sea in a terrible gale,
with the thunder roaring, the Lightning flashing,
and the rain falling in torrents around you, what
would you do to make yourself feel peaceful ?"
"You say the rain was falling in torrents ~
says Captain Bob Shorty.
"Yea, verify" says the chaplain.
al think" says Captain Bob Shorty, reflect
lively" think should call for an umbrella and
something hot"
Upon hearing this beautiful answer, my boy,
the chaplain buried his face in his hands.
$50 should J., he murmured, 4" so should l."
Depend upon it, my boy, there is bond OF
sympathy between all men, that no difference OF
education or circumstances can sever ; and when
some nice touch of nature causes it TO contract,
it seldom fails TO bring men together on the com
mon platform of whisky hot

The Grass Widow.

There's a beautiful cloak Of rich rat colored
plush,
And two dimpled dumpngs of checks with a
blush,
And fat little hand, with glove always new,
And a lot of big rings which distinctly show
through
And small parasol with the air of flirt,
And skirts always clean, though the streets be
all dirt,
And the things all belong-like the song which
write
To the little grass widow, who lives on our flight.
Her eyes are like puddlcs of Maynard and
But they sparkle like fire when she bows to the
boys :"
And oh ! how they dart to the heart keen ray,
When you meet her shopping some fine frosty
day;
She fears not the wind and she fears not the snow,
She fears but the prospect Of missing beau
And oh when she meets one, her smile is n sight !
The pretty grass widow who lives on our flight.
And isn't she fond of good stories and okes
She discounts at billiards-folks say that she
smokes
(She whffs cigarettes for gian pain,
And then she has Travelled in Cuba and Spain,)
She has been 10 the East, she has roamed through
the West,
She has danced where the balls were the bright
est and best.
And was fresh when the morning came in with its
light
The pretty grass widow who lives on our fight.
How she whirls like a fre-work in rapture away,
When you take her a "rocket- time" ride in a
sleigh;
How she loves to be wrapped, like a baby com
plete,
And begs you TO carefully shawl up her feet.
0, pshaw she'd be glad to 90 ride on a hearse,
With six. footer big -whiskered chap for nurse;
And would waltz with old Nck-if she found
him polite
The pretty grass widow who lives on our fight.
One day she was sick, and expected to die,
! sat by her sde-We were both on the cry,
When she choked down the tears--wiped them
off with q curl
And murmured, "I'm glad that old Death amt
girl.
He's rather slim pattern, of course, for a beau,
But anything is better than nothing, you know
wonder if flirting with him would be right?'
Said the pretty grass widow who lives on our
flight
Then she suddenly cried, "Wby can't die at
all,
Next Thursdays the night of the Bachelors Ball
There's my lovely new dress to come in, de-
clare
I've ordered the lovelest thing for my hair.
And my Baltimore pet will be sure to be there
Why Of course | must live,"-so she jumped
up and dressed
And at dinner was laughing aloud with the best
For the thought of frolic had set her all right
The jolly grass widow who lives on our flight.
