When I NJ can Marry.

When I M san Marry.
When do mean to marry? Well
lis idle to dispute with fate;
But II you caoosc to hear me tell,
Pray listen while fix the date.
When daughters haste with eager feet,
A mothers daily toll to share;
Can make tie pualings which they eat.
And mend the sto :kings whi;h they wear.
When IN adens look upon man
As ia himself what they wOul marry,
And not as army soldiers sean
A sutier or u com niSsary.
When gentle l.dies who have go
The eif:r OF lorer'sh and,
Consent to sh ,rt his "earthly lot"
And do not mean his lot VI land.
When young mechanics are allowed
10 tad anl we'd the fArneI's girls
Who don't expect to be endowed
With ruIies, Diamonds and pearls.
When wives, in short, shall freely give
Their hearts aal hands to all taeir scouses
Aud live as they were wont to live
Within their sire ) one s'oIy houses.
Then, madam-if I'm not too oil t
X need to quit th's lonely lite,
I'll brush my beaver, cease to sc,d,
And look about me for u wifi!

A QUAKER JoKE.-K-, the Quaker
president OF Pennsylvania railroad, dur.
ing the confusion and panic Of last fall,
called upon the W Bank, with which
the road kept large regular account and
asked for an extension Of part of its pa
per falling due in few days. The bank
president declined rather abruptly, saying
in rough tone to the functionary:
Mr.. X, your paper must be paid
at maturity, we cannot renew It,"
Very WE'LL" our Quaker friend re.
piled, aud left the bank. But he did not
let the matter drop berc. On leaving
the bank ne went quietly to the depot and
teleyrapheI 10 all agents and conductors
on the road to reject the bills on the
W Bank. In few hours the trains
began to arrive full of the panic, and
bringing the news Of the distrust Of the
W Bank all along the line. Stock.
holders and deposi.ors nocked to the
bank, q1aking with panic, inqu;riny thus:
WHAT is the matter? Is the bank
broke ?" etc., etc.
A little inquiry by the officers showed
that the trouble originated in the rejec'
ton Of the bills on the railroad. The
president seized his hat and rushed down
to the Quaker's Office, and came bursting
in with the inquiry:
Mr.. X, have you directed the
refusal of our currency by your agents 2
Yes" was the quiet reply.
Why is this? 1t will rain u.s."
"W ell, friend l., [ supposed the
bank was going to fail, as it could ;ot re.
new little paper for US this morning"
1t is needless to say Mr. l. renew
ed all the Quakers paper, and enlarged
his line of discount. while the magic wires
carried all around the r, al the sedatiy,
message:
The W Bank is all right. The.
may take all its currency
SETTING TIREs-lt is said that tire.
can be kept tight on wheels without com,
ing loose until they wear out. by soaking
the felloes OF the Wheels iu linseed oil ,at.
ter the tires are put on, wi ich is done in
this way: Procure cast iron box a,
scme foundry, or deep sheet iron pan, n,o
length and depth suitable for the pur
pose, in which pat the Iinseed oil then
place it over the fire till the oil is brot
to a boiling heat, and no hotter, for if toe
hot it will burn the wood. The vince
should now be suspended on stick, SC
that it will revolve, and the teloes b
immersed in the oil, each soaking al
hour. The wood of which the felloes art
made should be well seasoned aud dry al
the time ct using, or it will not absort
the oil when wood is prepared in this
way it is impervious to water, aud lasts
much longer thas it otherwise would.
The above will not be likely to meet
with favor from black and wheel
wrights: as it is for their interest, the one
to reset tires, and the other TO make re-
pairs; bat the farmer will readily per
ceiys the advantages Of adopting thi
method Of preparing his wheels, whicl
does away with the necessity for resettinI
the tines.
