"Yes, papa,' said, with yawn
Behind my fan; "for the horrid man
He just talked on and on;
The more limited, the more he stayed

And told him so, but he would not go
And what could poor girl do?"
"It was very late when you retiredv'
"Yes papa" frankly said
"For the man you see, just talked to me,
Though yawned till my eyes were red;
And went so far when the clock struck twelve,
AS to count the strokes all through
But the stupid, he just wouldn't see,
And what could poor girl do?"

'Why, tell you pa" cried,
"If limited once to the tiresome Ounce,
Twas hundred times beside
Why, I even said you'd been in bed
For at least five hours, I knew
But he tipped his chair and still sat there
So what could poor girl do?"
"Well, the jeemses- gosh was you up all night!!'
"Why, papa" humble plead.
"Don't thunder so there's man below
And he sent you his card, and said
That the reason why he stayed all night
Was he wanted to see you, too,
That he might ask for the hand gave,
For what could poor girl do?"
WHAT REVIVED HIM-"They want you
to come around the corner to No. II, to shave
man that has gone dead" whimpered little
boy, as he opened the door of the BARRIERS

face, with one sinful eye in it. The barber
lathered the deceased, and then fell to shaving

awarded the professorship of the tonsorial
chair in some celebrated college, and forget
ting that the man was dead, and not in a
mood just then to talk, remarked: Remark.

bed and exclaimed: "Ha, ha, ha-that voice

that voice which threw me into the trance

MAKE HASTE SLowLY.-Itis is too much the
practice with certain class of young men to
rush into anything they undertake without
plan or forethought. A sound writer gives
some very good advice on the subject, which
we boil down.
Stop, young mani You are in hurry.
That is not the way to do anything we'll. If
you are in ve.y great hurry, sit down and
wait few minutes, until you shall have had
time to collect your thoughts and to consider
how to go to work to accomplish what you
have in hand
A vast amount of labor is lost in this world
by people being in haste. They 60 into an un'
dertaking without any previous reflection
how to best accomplish the purpose in hand.
But, it may be answered, sometimes people
must hurry they snust hurry at a fire, for
instance 1t is true, nevertheless, that the
woman who threw looking-g lass from the
third story window, because building in the
rear was on fire, might very advantageously
have taken a moment for reflection.
Stop! Think. Then act-if you want to
come out right

BAD TEMpER.-Bad temper is crime,
and like other crimes, is ordained in the
course of nature to meet, sooner or later, its
merited reward. Other vile passions may
have some points of extenuation, the pleasure

gence, but i'll nature-that is fretful, fault
finding spirit-in its origin, action, and end,
has no extenuating quality; and, in the ap
plication of the old principle, "with what
measures ye mete, it shall be measured to
you again." will find most pitiable end

A Bridge Needed.

Oct. 9th, 1850.
 Messrs. Editors. Allow me to call the atten tion of the town council to the fact that new fost-bridge is very badly needed over the branch at the east end of David street. The wagon bridge does not at all suit for the ps- destrians who live in tho sast-end. In bad weather, when the streets are mud> dy, it is impossible for the ladies to cross the wagon bridge without wading through the mud shoe-mouth deep on the west side of the bridge. The street at that point is exceedingly muddy, and as the embankment thrown up xs an ap- proach to the bridge Is very narrow, and as there is no other way to cross the bridge only by wading through that muddy embankment, it is an ugly job to get to town from the east-end when the weather Is bad.
 Tho town council should have the soot>bridge rebuilt, so that footmen can keep the side walk and not be cons pelled to wade cut into the middle of the muddy street to cross the branch on the wagon bridge.
 The east-snd residents had Oak street nicely graded and paid for it out of their own pockets, and they feel that it is as little as the town council could bs asked to do to rebuild the needed foot bridge. EAsT-RNDEK.
