IMPORTANTLY.

I've waited long enough, Kathleen,
The winters fairly past;
The lambs areplaying on the green;
The swallows come at last.
The vine is leafy round my door;
The blossoms on the May;
The waves come dashing to the shore
Why don't you name the day?
You know you put me off, Kathleen,
Until the early spring;
The skies are tranquil and serene,
The bees are ca the wing;
The fisher spreads his little sail;
The mowers in the hay;
The primrose blossoms in the vale
Why don't you name the day?
The thrush is building in the thorn,
Among the whispering leaves;
The Lark is busy in the corn,
The martin meath the caves.
The little birds don't build in vain;
Their mates don't say them nay
Beware! may not ask again;
Why don't you name the day?

lfor advice; but above all things
abstain from taking any of the
advertised nostrums that will flood
the city, and swallow no medicine
unless prescribed by a competent
| physician.
The Commissioners of Health
are doing all in their power for the
publication of the city, and the
protection of the people, but it
must be evident to all that they
cannot do everything, and wonld,
therefore, respectfully call upon
their fellow-citizens to cooperate
with them in every possible way
in their power sti.1 r
Sources of filth and impurity
may exist without the knowledge
of the public authorities, and eve-
ry citizen should feel the necessity
of keeping a watchful supervision
overhis own premises, and when
individual efforts are inadequate
for their removal, they should call
upon the Board for their assist
ance. @
Fear and dependency are the
great sources of danger in all cpl
denies, but more especially SO in
Cholera than any other.
While, therefore, we would urge
upon all our citizens the use of ey-
cry prudential and precautionary
measure, let them preserve a calm
and composed state of mind and a
cheerful heart, and dispel all fear
and by a confding trust in anall-
wise and merciful Providence, we
can reasonably hope to escape the
scourge, if we implicitly obey His
laws.

As an instance of the spread of
divorce in the West, we are told
that there are at present living in
Columbus, Wisconsin, two women
and a man who has been married
to the women aforesaid. The man
has married four times, has now
two wives living, and has no wife.
The first woman has been married
three times, and has two husbands
living and has no husband. The
second woman has been married
twice, has two husbands living,
and has no husband.

The matrimonial condition of
some parts of Michigan is some
what below the standard Of sound
policy and morality, as the fol
lowing attested circumstances will
show: In one Of the townsof that
State Mr.. Gill recently settled,
and lived with a woman he said
was his wife. A Mr.. Hosmel
claimed her. Lots were drawn,
the woman, by the way, holding
them, and Hoslner won her
This should have settled the mat
ter, but il didn't. Mr.. Gill, feel
ing disconsolate, opened negotia
tions, and a "trade" was soon ar
ranged, Hosmer selling all his
right, title and interest in the wo.
man forseven dollars. The neigh
bors generally agree that Hosmel
got the best of the bargain. This
thing is done frequently in Eng
land, where a man has beer
known to sell his wife for tel
pence, but it is somewhat of a nov
city in the United States.

necessary to cover him completely

A BLUSH.

In blush doth tell-tale appear
That speaks to the eye, quite as plain
As language itself can convey to the ear,
Some tender confession of pleasure or pain (;
What thoughts we should never impart,
What secrets we never should speak,
If the fountain of truth in the heart
Did not rise in blush to the cheek.
As the blossom of spring on the bough
Is promise of fruits yet unseen,
So the color that mantles thy beauty just now
May BE but prophetic of hopes but yet green.
How vain is each delicate art
Of concealment, when nature would speak,
And the fountain of truth in the heart

How MIRRORS ARE MADE.-Prob-
ably few of our readers have a
very clear idea how the huge mir
rors that are so fashionable and
expensive are made: The plate
glass, which comes from France
or Germany, is first polished by
means Of rough brushes; next a
bag containing the common pota-
to, reduced by a pulverizing pro-
cess 10 an almost impalpable pow
der is applied to the glass, the pa
tato dust escaping through the
meshes of the bag; then a plate
foil is spread upon a setting-bed of
marble, and on it is placed the pre-
pared quicksilver; the glass is then
laid on the top Of this and pressed
down with heavy weights. Here
it remains about twenty four hours
when it is examined, and if found
free from flaws, is ready for use.

A singular incident has just ta-
ken place at Neufchatel, in Switzer-
land. At the death of a mer-
chant in that city, on the credit
side of his books the name of
God was found inscribed for a
considerable sum. No one knew
of such a creditor, and on investi-
cation evidence was obtained that
deceased, who was a man of great
piety, had opened an account to
the Father of All, and entered to
it each year a share of his profits.
The clergy have claimed the sum
on the ground that they represent
God upon earth, while their de
mand is opposed by the authori-
ties of the Canton. The affair
will probably be brought before
the tribunals.

One Of the latest sensations IN
England is ''mushroom ketchup,
made not from mushrooms, as the
credulous would imagine, but from
decomposed beef livers. This
meat is collected and salted down
in tubs, where it remains until 1t is
thoroughly deeayed. The putrld
mass is then boiled by night, IN
huge tanks-boiled by night only,
because if it were done in the day
time the stencil would soon bring
down the neighborhood in over
whelming indignation-and the
liquid produced by this process,
seasoned with spices, is the famous
mushroom ketchup." England,
it seems, still keeps ahead OF
America in some things, at least
