marked that any one was at liberty to
ask questions upon the subject, and

much apparent sincerity, remarke d
that she had a question to ask, though
she was not certain that it was a proper
question; she would, however, venture
to ask it. 1t was as follows:-'tif one

HOW THEY HAD HIM.

HOW THEY HAD HIM.
When was young and tender too,
I had to mind and had to do
Whatever mother bade me;
She used to have n walnut stick
Which kept me on the double-quick,s
And that was where she had nR.
When older grown and quite beau
Among the girls, used to know
A Miss Priscilla Cadmy;
And with the help OF smiles and mods
I fell in love at forty rods,
And there is where she had me.
When l was older, say sixteen,
thought it time to have queen,
And asked her if she'd wed me;
She said she didn't object,
Or words to something that effect,
And there was where she had me.
But when, to maka the matter straight,
I went up to negotiate
Affairs with Colonel Cadmy,
He said he didn't care to SELL"
He told me l might go towel,
And that was where he had mo.

Until got my dander UP

When she proposed that we be one
In spite of pa-the thing was done,
And that was where had her.

I'm proud to say belong to me
(That is, to me and madam;)

We spent q year or two abroad
And there was where we had EN-.

Three plans have been submitted to the
Chief Engineer and Surveyor for u bridge over
the Schuylkill at Fairmouut and report, with
estimates, will shortly be submitted to Councils.
The proposed bridge is to start at Twenty-ffth
and Spring Garden Streets and to cross over
Callowhill street the west and Bridge street
on the east side of the river There will be two
roadways, the lower one to be on a level with
Callowhill street, passing under the Pennsylvania
Railroad on the west side, and connecting with
Haverford street The upper roadway will pass
over the railroad and connect with Bridge street.
The bridge is to be of iron, and two of the plans
are what is known as the Whipple Truss Bridge,
and the third the Warren Truss, having an arch
introduced The span will be $40 feet in the
clear. TO make the upper roadway accessible,
a new street will be opened on the side of the
reservoir at Fairmount.
