Constitutional Question.

we learn from the West Virginia Tribune that
The Hon. Ralph Berkshire was few davs ago
eiec'ed by the bar Of Mineral county as Judge TO
pi eslde during the present session of the circuit
court OF that county. This was power exercis-
ed by the bar under a recent act of the I4gisla-
ture, and was based upon the sickness Of JUDGE
Allen, and bis inability, as the Judge of that cir
cult, to perform bis judicial functions. II will
be admitted that Judge Berkshire is an able up
right and learned Judge, and no better selection
could well have been made. But was he coDsti-
tutionaily eligible to this temporary iudgssbip;

A Woman's Yes, in Love, is No.
/ now am older than [ was

now am older than was
a score Of years ago;
Add on the little games Of love
I've learned a thug or so;
And one Ut them is simply this,
y thing all men should kuow,
That women, iu affairs of love,
Trsnspose the yos for no !
Jus, ask girl If she intend,
To marry such beau,
And for On answer you will get
oh no, sir, surely cot
While all the time to bring about
The match sho is not slow,
Which proves woman's yes, 10 lose,
Is always changed TO 10
Or ask maid Of thirty years,
Who thinks you do not know
IL she is over twenty vet,
And she viii tell you no.
She has no wish to aatter you,
But thinks you rather slow
If you have not discovered yet
That woman's yes--is no
Go ask the hear,less, cold coquctte
Ii she should strike the blow
To crush a luckless fellows heart,
And she will answer no!
But try her, if you have n doubt,
Aud all your love bestow
To her, aud she will teach tho fac.
That woman's yes-is no.
If you by chance a widow meet,
Clad in the weeds Of woe,
just try if death has humbled her
With its unwelcome blow;
To do so, ask her if again
Her love she could bestow
Upon another, and in tears
And sobs-she answers no.
But press her to cOnfle in you,
And breathe in accents low
The story OF your constancy,
And tears will cease to flow:
While smiles will tighten up her face,
Her eyes with fondness glow,
A Certain proof that wOman's yes,
10 love, is always no.
Our good old mothers, like the rest,
LUIS 'r"uspOsltlOn snow
And often for the frmest yes,
Will give the sternest DO.
For Instance, when she sees a chap
VI wealth, who makes a blow
You ask her if she likes his style,
She answers bluntly 10.
But let the wealthy chap call ia
To see her girls, aud 10
She greets him with approving smiles,
And lets her daughters 90
Abroad with him, just anywhere,
10 rain, or sleet, or snow,
Which proves that in affairs Of love
A wcman'S yes-is no.
1t is the fashion everywhere,
No matter whore you 90
You find it with tho rich. and poor,
In stations high and low.
Aud though it may not be emiss,
IT'S well enough to show
That women ia affairs Of love,
Give their consent with no.
