A widow Young in her weeds.
BY JOHN G. SAKE.

Her shawl was as sable as night:
And her gloves were as dark as her shawl
And her jewels-that flashed in the night
Were as black as funeral pail;
Her robe had the hue of the rest,
(How nicely it fitted her shape y
And the grief that was heaving her breast
Boiled over in pillows of Grape.

In mourning the loved and the lost,
Was doing her conjugal duty

him to be in the right. But he is not responsible for

rebels failed in their late attempt to murder liberty
and to perpetuate slavery in their country. No

No business stirring, all things at stand,
People complain they have no cash in hand,
Dull times" re-echoes now from ev'ry

Even from father to the son and daughter.
Merchants cry out, no money to be had,
Grocers say the times are very bad;
Mechanics work, but they can get no pay,

gay.
Cash very scarce-dancing twice week
Business dull-amuselnont still We seek.
Some live awhile--and then, perhaps they
fail,
While many run in debt and so to jail.
The females must have ribbons, gauze and

And paint, besides, to smooth wrinhled

The beaux Will dress, go to the ball and

Sit up ali night, and lay in bed all day,
Brush up an empty pate, look smart and

Follow each trihing fashion or odd whim.

To follow fashions, and delight in dress?
No! times are good, but people arc to

Who spend too much, and justly merit

Two WAYS OF DoING A TaING.-In

tleman Jack Tar, in a goaashore out
fit, jolly, genteel and happy, with a
decidedly pretty specimen of eighteen
year old crinoline, to whom he had
been a week spliced, and was convey
ing Philadelphiaward. Opposite
Jack and his wife were a couple that
any one could see were on honey
moon cruise, the bride all bushes,
beauty and bashfulness, and the gal
liant bridegroom all devotion and en-
dearment. At one of the way sta
tions the cars stopped, and the careful
bridegroom thus addressed his timid
bride:
"My love. am about to step out
a few moments for refreshments.
Do not be alarmed during my alb
sence."
Gentleman Jack took the cue, and
patting his wife on the shoulder,
sung out rs if he was hailing the
main-top gallant-yard in gale of
wind:
