THE YOUNG WIDOW.
BY ROBERT JOSSELYN.

She is modest but not bashful,
Free ard easy but not bold,
Like an apple ripe and mellow,
Not too young and not too old
Half inviting, half repulsive
Now advancing and now shy,
There is mischief in her dimpse,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature,
She is schooled in all her arts;
She has taken her diploma
As the Mistress of all Hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When to sigh and when to smile
o, a maid is sometimes charming,
But a widow all the while,
Are you sad1 How very serious
Will her handsome face become
Are you angry? She is wretched,
Lonely, friendless, fearful, dumb!
Are you mirthful! How her laughter
Silver sounding, will ring out
She can lure and catch and play you,
AS the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors of forty
Who have grown so bald and WISE
Young Americans of twenty
With the love locks in your eyes;
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by Cupid since the Fall
But / know a little widow,
Who can win and fool you all.

Hotel mt Point Clear DESTROYED

MOBILE, July 14.-The hotel at Point
Clear was burned at - o'clock last night.
The fire originated in the bake room. At
the time a powerful northwest breeze was
blowing and the flames spread with terrible
rapidity, and burnt with such fury that no
one could get near them. The main build
ing was entirely destroyed, with all its fur
niture, and in many instances all the bag
gage of the boarders.
At the time of the calamity there were
$50 boarders. No lives were lost. Most of
the fugi;ives stopped at Shorts.

squeezing; add to the juice half an ounce
of cut fine white soap, two ounces of fuller's
earth, and halfa pint of vinegar; boil to.

scorched linen and let it dry on then wash
and boil out the linen, and the spots will
disappear, unless burned so badly as to
break the thread.

BEST BREED or Cows FOR MILK.--"W.

way, frequently. Farmers who sill milk,
and care nothing for quality, are partial to
short-horn Durham grades out of good

cheese and butter prefer Ayrshire grades.
Those who make fancy butter the chief
thing, or who wish milk of great richness
for their W tables, select the Jerseys.
