His First Pardon.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press
When Governor Seymour entered
upon his duties at Albany, he was
very anxious that his first pardon
should be right beyond question.
While thinking on the subject, he re-
ceived letter from the officers OF one
of our prisons stating that negro
convict had been confined in their in.
stitution for more than twenty years,
that his conduct had been good in all
respects and that they placed full con.
fidence in him. His time would soon
expire, and they asked pardon and
a certificate of good conduct, which
would help him when he was again
out in the world. II knew of none"
said the governor, "who could show
a better record, and granted the
pardon. AT the end of week, what
was my surprise to receive from the
pardoned convict a letter, in which
he said that more than twenty years
he had lived in the State prison, and
had tried to do his duty. Such being
the case. he wanted TO know why the
governor had turned him out at the
beginning of winter to starve and
freeze, when if he had been let alone
until summer he could take care of
himself"

A Rhyming Romance.
From a Chicago Paper.

From Chicago Paper.
He was young, he was fair, and he
parted his hair, like the average beau,
in the middle; be was proud, he was
bold-but the truth must be told
he played like a fiend on the fiddle.
Barring his voice, he was every
thing nice, and his heart was so low
ing and tender that he always turned
pale when he trod on the tail OF the
cat lying down on the fender. ~
He clerked in a st6a ard the lsxas.
that he tore off calico, jeans and
brown sheeting, would have tickled
a calf and made the brute laugh in
the face of quarterly meeting.
He cut quite a dash with a darling
mustache, which he learned to adore
and cherish: for one girl had said,
as she dropped her proud head, that
it would kill her to see the thing per.
ish.
On Sundays he'd search the straight
road to the church, unheeding the
voice of the scorner; and demurely
he sat, like young tabby cat, with
the saints, in the amen corner.
He sang like bird, and his sweet
voice was heard fairly tugging away
at long meter; and we speak but
the truth when we say that this
young man could outsing a hungry
mosquito.
She was young, she was fair, and
she scrambled her hair like the aver
age bell of the city (; she was proud
but not bold-yet the truth must be
told-the way she chewed wax was
pity.
Barring this vice, she was every.
thing nice, and the world admired
her hustle; and the Evasion boys,
being Gained by the noise, walked
miles to hear it rustic.
She cut quite swell, did this wax.
chewing belle, and men fiocked in
crowds to meet her; but she gave
them the shirk, for she loved the
young clerk, vino sang like hungry
mosquito.
So she hemmed and she hawed,
and she sighed and she chawed, till
her heart and her jaws were broken
then she walked by his store, where
he stood by the door awaiting some
loving token.
She raised up her eyes with a
mock surprise, and tried to enact the
scorner, but to tell the truth, she
grinned at the youth who loved the
amen corner.
They met-alas what came
to pass was soft and sweet and prec'
ious; they wooed, they cooed, he
talked, she chewed-oh how she
loved Good gracious ! They had
to part, he rose to start; her grief
cannot be painted these are the
facts She swallowed her wax, then
screamed, then choked, then tainted
