THE BLAUKsMITH,s WIFE.

BY AUGUSTUS CoNsToCK.
She has figure trim and neat,
And full of health and life,
With nimble hands and nimble feet,
The blacksmiths little wife.
Her hair is dark, her eyes are blue,
And though her cheek is Drowned,
An anchorite would smile TO view
A face 30 smooth and round
All day she labors like the bee,
The blacksmith s little wife,
While round her play her children three,
Bright-haired and full Of life.
And all day long, her CHEEKY song
Comes through the cottage door,
While tap, tap tap, her CATERS rap
The neatly sanded floor.
Her swarthy husband from the town,
Comes home when day is dim;
For kisses he must stoop way down,
Or she climb up to him.
He's Just the man that women crave
To shield them from "the wrong
For he's as kind as he is brave,
As brave as he is strong.
you're tired out with work, she sighs;
"You lead weary life. i"
'No no." quoth he, "'tis Paradise,
With such little wife
The gleeful fire with ardent rays
Peeps slyly from the hearth,
The tea pot bushes in the blaze,
The kettle shakes with mirth.
The sleek ''grimalkin" purs and news,
The dog whines at the door,
The pattering of little shoes
Is heard along the floor.
About the smith his children play
When evenings meal is through,
They love to see his pipe of clay
Send forth its clouds of blue.
They Chamber on his shoulders broad,
They Chamber ON his knee,
While wife looks on with smile and nod;
And all are full of glee.
Id sooner be this blacksmith bold,
With such little wife,
Than have the wealth Of yellow gold
That gilds an aimless life.

LINCOLN AND THE FEMALE
OFFICE BROKER .fid nli at

The New York correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial gives the following
anecdUte of President Lincoln: hisa
"A good, and what is better, an ulpub-
lished and authentic story about Mr.. Lin
coin, came to me the other day from a ssre-
liable friend, which may as well be set up
on your types now as at any other time,
Conversing with Hon. James A. Briggs,
formerly State Agent of Ohio in New
York, one day at the White House, the
President said in reference to the rush of
office-seekers and their ingenious devices
to secure attention: @. - s,csl ,iaas ..f
''Why, Briggs, l believe there is even
system of female brokerage in offices here
in Washington, for l am constantly beset
by women of all sorts, high and low, pretty
and ugly, modest and the other sort Here
yesterday, very handsome young woman
called she would not take denial, was
admitted, and weptright to work soliciting
acertain Office for somebody supposed to be
her husband. She plead his cause dex-
teruusly, eloquently, and at times was al
most successful by her importnnste en-
treaties. By degrees she came closer and
closer to me, as / sat in my chair, until
really her face came so near my own that
/ thought she wanted me to kiss her,
when my indignation came to my relief,
and drawing myself back and straightsn-
ing myself up, gave her the proper sort
of look and said: Mrs, f-----, you are
very pretty, and it's tempting, 6us I mont"
If that isn't as good Lincoln reminis-
ence as any of Carpenters ] am much mis-
taken, and those who knew and loved Old
Abe can easily FL in the gaps in its telling
with those peculiar tones and gestures
which his friends so well remember When
l heard the story told, l could not help
remarking, 81 don't believe James Buchan-
an would have withstood that temptation
so WELL" Do you, Mr.. Editor! And it
is only humane to hope that Mr.. Lincoln's
successor is not compelled to undergo the
torture of such temptations. rar E

Extraordinary Double Apparltion Of Liv-
ing Persons.

Some two weeks since,a young lady
of this city, whose father is engaged in
mercantile business in this city, awoke
from a sleep, feeling distressed and
alarmed from the effects of an unpleas
ant dream. The gas.light was burning,
but had been turned down to the closest
point, thus making dim light in the
room and rendering portions of it almost
dark. Soon after awaking the young
ladv's attention was attracted by the
well.defned figure of q lady of her ac-
quaiEtance moving from the door, some
ten feet from the foot OF her bed, toward
it. Impulsively she called the figure by
name, on the instant forgetting the i'm.
probability of the friend being in the
honsc, and the fact that she was not
resident of the city but resided in st
Louis. Soon, however, all this recurrcd
to her and the figure already neared the
now alarmed girl. The form and fea.
lures were perfect and distinct, the ex.
preston one of cheering greeting, and as
| it approached closer and closer 10 her
side it became DINNER and DINNER, and
finally disappeared entirely, when it had
advanced to about half the length ofthe
bed The nervousness induced by the
incident, naturally enough induced the
young lady to arouse the family. who as
cribe3 tbs matter &c excited imaginings
But there is singular sequel. She hat
forebodings despite all that was said te
, calm them, and the next day wrote hel
friend detailing the incident. An an
swer was promptly received, announcing
the good health of the writer, and th'
, fact that on the same night and at th'
same hour, she had been visited in pre-
3 cisely the same manner by the sem
blance of her friend in Albany, and beer

temper, word AMI bearing as mild as
May morning. 1t is remarked that he
makes very rare allusion to his trial,
though why, no one ventures to ask
him. On Congressional proceedings
and all the great and exciting topics OF
the day, he is profoundly observant, and
occasionally lets drop remarks concern
ing them, showing an interest as per
meating and undying in the affairs o.
nations and the problem of the world:
destiny as marked the closing career o
the great conquering Corsican, or o

There are facts from which we s,,-, ss.---
that the population of our city is little more
than half as great as it was in 1850. Dur
ing that year more houses were built than
.during any year since. AT that time all
the buildings of our city were standing, vi
which more thnn q thousand have since
ibeen burned OF the houses then standing,
all were filled with occupants to their ",
most capacity or those standing now, all
ere not so filled. and certainly were not
nearly so filled during the last year; and

while, OF the much smaller population ia

This staten snt includes none which may
have occurred from battle or any other
forms of violent incident to military move

civil life from the ordinary diseases to
which citizens are subject. 1t is not to be
