THE YOUNG WIDOW.

She is modest, but not bashfni,
Free and 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 dimple,
There is danger in her eye.
She has studied human nature;
She is schOoled ia all her arts,
She has taken her diploma
As the mistress of oil hearts.
She can tell the very moment
When TO sigh and when to smile;
Oh, a nnsid is sometimes charming,
Blu, widow all the willie.
Are you sad! How very serions
Will her handsome fac. become!
Are you sng,y. She is wreiched,
Loneiy, frendiess, fearful, dumb!
Are you mirthiul! How her laughter
Silver sounding, will ring out!
She car. lure and catch and play you,
As the angler does the trout.
Ye old bachelors Of forty,
Who have grown 50 boId ard wise,
Young Americans Of wenty,
With the Iove-iooks in your eyes,
You may practice all the lessons
Taught by cupid since the fall;
But | know a iItile widow
Who could win and fool you all.
Richland beacon. [volume] (Rayville, La.) 1869-1890, 1878-04-27

So it seems the Radicals 10 the Sen
ate are trying to kill the House bill
placing General Shields on the retired
list. 1t will be remembered that Old
Butler noMinsted Gen. Shields for
Door.keeper, for the purpose Of de-
priving the South of this unimportant
position. and to make little political
bu0kum The Democrats of the House
very properly dstsrmhed to make
their own selection of Door-keeper
without any care for what Old Butler
wanted. Az Gen. Shields 10 really
10 want. the House very properly
passed bill to have bis name put on
The retired list Of the army, that bs
may thus be enabled to draw the pay
OF . Brigadier General. When the
bill reached the Senate. Sargent, .
very vile Radical, moved 70 amend il
BY adding the names Of Grant, Gar.
6eld. Butler. and about fifteen others.
II this amendment is adopted it will
kill the bill. sor the measure cannot
possibly cary such weight. This is .
good illustration of Radical iuconsis-
tency.-Vicksburg Herald.
