CoNNUBIAL AFFEOTIoN.-In neighboring
town, not long ago, lived Aunt Keziah, an in
dustrious and thriving widow. She had not
only kept good her estate, but had increased
it much in value, and she loved to refer to it
as "the little home that Daniel left her"
One dav the Income man. came along and
carried off some of that little boarded treasure,
and she wept as she counted out the bills on
which her partners fingers had once rested +;

A few hours afterwards she was at the table
kneading bread, and evidently thinking of the
lost one, when her niece said: 80 = ~ Z >
"Aunty, now you're prosperous and well to
do let's get some pretty tomb-stones for good
uncle Daniel, you know he has got none at his
grave. ,l5f3 -s4-4

and emphasized this touching expression:

Hardly day passes but we are consulted by one

Poetry.
The Young Widow.


She is modest, she is bashful
Free and easy, but not bold -.-s-.
Like an apple, ripe and mellow,
Not too yo -ng, and not too old,
Half inviting, half repulsive;
Now advancing, and now snyi
There is mischief in her dimpie,
There is danger in her eye. ...
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled In all her arts,
She has taken her dip oma
AS the mistress of all hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile,
Oh! maid is sometimes charming,
But widow all the while.
You are sad? bow very serious
VIII her handsome face become; ..-.
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Lonely, frien1less, fearful, dumb.
Are you mirthful? How her laughter,
Silver sounding, will ring out.
She cln lure and catch and play you,
AS the angler does The trout.
All old b chelors of tory
Who have grown SO bold and wise, ~
Ye A lonises of twenty s4.s-.4 ~ .
With your love locks in your eyes,
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the fall;
But know little widow .r,-
Who could win you all.
