HARDLY FAI X TO THE FAIR.-A fell
low with a villainous Imagination has
been guilty of getting off the following
effusion. We do not, by any means, en-
dorse the sentiments, and only publish
them to show our lady readers what
vile ISLANDERS they can be subjected to:
There are many young ladies now d, fitting
through life.
That think they were born to be somebody 5
wife,
That sigh in the morning, and pout all their
might
Because some one was absent, tho previous
night,
That sit by the window, and wonder Who'll c
The unfortunate one-that will ''ireeze on to
me"
There are none very ugly--t innocent girls,
With their chignons and laces, their flounces
and curls;
They are sweet looking tribe, with nothing
to do
But sit by the window, promenaders to view,
To play the piano, on luxuries feed,
And the latest sensation, in literature read
Of course never idle, in these little things
For,the time unemployed, she lovingly sings
To some she's met yesterday in the street,
Where little Irritation, so charmingly sweet
Was INDUCED in; of course she won't marry
Her poor cousin Larry, but rather she'll tarry
Till some one who's rich chance passes along,
Who's handsome, and probably, to him she Il
belong.
But,alas not wife, the words out of place,
For beautiful form, and sweet looking
face
Is not all that's required, in drifting through
life
To form companion-a dear little wife,
| What then is the Sc of soliloquy mute
To think for moment, In this world Of
| strife
OF ever be coming somebody's wife
May Danish the thought-they alas seek il
vain
They are born for, no other reason tbs plain
A reason--assuredly every somebody
knows,
They were born for them only, to buy then
their clothes.

How ABOUT IT If some unseen in
dividual could pass around from house
to house about ten O'Clock on Sunday
morning, he would be likely to hear q
list of excuses for not attending church,
something like the following:
Oversight myself. Could not dress in
time. Tco cold. Too windy. Too dusty.
Too wet Too damp. Too sunny. Too
cloudy. Don't feel disposed. No other
time to myself. Look over my drawers.
Put my papers to rights. Letters to
write to my friends. Mean to take a
walk. Going to take ride. Tied to
business six days in the week. No fresh
air but on Sundays. Can't breathe in
church, always so full. Feel little
feverish. Feel a little chilly. Feel very
lazy. Expect company to dinner. New
bonnet not come home.

The GOOD PREACHING MAY DO.-A
gentleman was once riding in Scotland
by a bleaching ground where woman
was at work watering her web of linen
cloth. He asked her where she went to
church, what she heard on the preceding
day, and how much she remembered.
She could not even tell the text of the
last sermon.
"And what good can the preaching do
YOU" said he, "if you forget it all? ?"
"Ah sir" replied the poor woman,"if
you look at this web on the grass, you
will see that as | put the water on it the
sun dries it all up; and yet, sir, l see it
grows whittier and whittier"
