ASerenade.

Sweet lady, arise from your snowy couch,
And list to the dulcet strain
Of this mel-o-ho-di-us violin,
Oh! rise, lady, ere it rains,
Arise, Rebecca Ja-hane, arise,
Oh, rise before the shower,
For pve played beneath your win-do-ho
More than half an hour.

She answers way down in the la-hane,
Yet sigh in vain for word or look,
Aud now its beginning to rain,
Arise, my sweetest ta-hurtle do-hove,
And open your window bel-lind,
For the rain comes down and the dogs loo
hoos,
And has torn my trowsers behind.
Sweet lady, arise; but no, never mind,
For snap goes my E string in two.
All, gur-hurl, the next time that / serenade
You bet, it won't be to you.
Sleep, Rebecca Ja-hane-eane,
For now am wet to the skin,
Pve broken my bow on the do-ho-hog,
And jumped on my violin.

Public alton Of the Laws.

Tue temper Of the General Assem-.
bly,, now in session at Des Monies,
seems to be favorable to a repeal, or
material modification of the law which
provides for the publication Of all tho
laws in the newspapers of each coun-
ty of.the State. t.-
There IS no doubt that should the
law be SO amended as to provide for
publishing the laws Of a local natu
only in the newspapers of the coun-
ties interested, and only the geaeral
laws throughout the State, as they
are now published, many thousands of
dollars would be saved; but we do
not believe that the people who take
and read the newspapers, or a major
ity Of them (they bcing as rule the
highest tax-payers,) would favor the
repeal of the law, but we do believe
the amendment here suggested, or
something substantially similar,
would give satisfaction. =
Our people are willing and anxious
to be posted in matters IN Which they
are Interested, and to this end they
are willing to share the nero triaing
expense of publishing the laws Of a
general ma tnre and those having refer
ence to their immediate locality, and
if the members Of the Legislature be-
licve they are engaged in work that
is above, beneath, or out of reach Of
their constituency, and in which thcy
are not interested, We advise them by
all means to repeal tho laws, having
for their object the education Of the
people in relation to public affairs,
or perhaps what might be still better

the enormous expenditure ofthe peo
pies money, necessary to . three

bly.-Pcople's Paper.

Thinking, as democrat, that the

members held up their hands in hor-

the Capitol business, John A.kasson
at once took up the cudgels for Har-
Ian. It was not the love of honesty
but the greed Of possession, which
actuated the Republicans to back

which were the bitterest against him

Playful T. lhildren.

Are your little children playfull
Let them we'll enjoy their glee;
Darken not their path with SORROW
Let them happy, playful be.
Earth's bright Spring flowers they are to yo'
Let them joyful be and gay;
Clouds full soon will veil their faces,
Make them happy while you may.
Let their bright, sweet faces cheer you
Daily like the flowers of Spring;
Strive to make them like sunbeam,
And their hearts to you will cling.
True, you may sometimes be weary,
If their plays are loud and long;
Gently hush their gleeful voices,
Tune their mirth to some sweet song.
Teach them of the precious Savior,
Tell them of Redeeming love;
Cheerful let them think Of Jesus,
And happy home above.
If you thus will scatter sunshine,
Round each young and trusting heart,
You may hope they'll love their Maker,
Aud He'll to them JOY impart.

More About Greciey'S Arabic.

Here is something reliable and
fresh from an eyewitness of the in
cident, says the New York Post.
Shortly after Horace Greeley had
registered his name at the Indian
Hea6House, Nashua (whither the
great philosophers lecturing tour
took him this fall), a rather aged
countryman came into the office, and
after examining the register, asked
it Doctor B was in.
"There is no such person here."
said the gentlemanly clerk.
"No such person here!" echoed the
venerable rustic, laying off his spec
tacles and gazing into the face Of the
clerk with much incredulity and as
tonishme ent.

echoed the clerk.
"Young man." exclaimed the 9TH
