And SO coarsel-if not ugly, at all events plain;
And near-sighted, think, or she'd surely have

While the look of her eye is suggestive of storm

And that HART can swear that it isn't her own,
Not bit like the lock once wore next my heart;
Once sweet bud she was, now she's more than 1ull
She was right-we did well when we settled to
part.
And old Time who has brought all these changes
to pass.
While oisfiguring her, has he lightly touched me
Let me look at myself in this trusty old glass.
And record my impressions, whatever they be.
Hem! A crow's-foot or two, and my locks more

Is becoming uncommonly thin on the top.

A Cruel Wife.

The infinite variety of husbands and
wives seems inexhaustible. A large
man with very small wife in Brook
lyn brought suit for divorce on the
ground of cruel and inhuman treat
ment. He had been separated from her
some time, but every Saturday called
at ser house to leave her some money
witch she would not accept. Then he
left it on the table and she denied him
the door, and he tucked it in the crack.
The next week the crack was filed with
rags, and, breaking window, he threw
the money in. Almost anything will
be believed Of such wife as that, but
the husbands are rare that would want
o divorce from them.

THOSE AWFUL AMERICANS -Colonel Nor
gan is Tory after our own heart. He has
been making a speech at the Abergavenny
Agricultural Association, and has been max
ing not only speech, but discovery. He
has found out the causes Of the agricultural
distress 1t is due to the Americans-not
to the American production of bad weather
They send out to these shores not only corn
and meat, but also storms. Colonel Morgan
expressed the gentle hope that next year
1.-THE Americans would have those damnable
storms they predicted themselves, and that
their would be a chance for poor wretched
farmer like himself When seeing two fine
days together. sor even twenty four hours, he
thought he saw chance of gathering in
crop, he looked into the evening papers only
to find another Internal storm predicted
And, under these circumstances, he was a
fraid he cursed the Yankees. ColonelMor
gan seems to think that the Yankees make
storms for export across the Atlantic. He
confounds prediction and production. This
is what Toryism has almost always done
When a reformer has pointed out that dan
ger threatened and must be guarded against
which he raised voice of warming. Colonel
Morgan is a perfectly refreshing Tory,
whom we would not barter for whole will

The JEWS IN MoRocCo-Minister Noyes
has recently sent dispatches to the Secretary
OF State, giving the results of his recent tour
in the East and along the shores of the Med
lterranean. Special attention is called to the
deplorabie condition of the Jews in the EN-
plre of Morocco. Although they form the
best, the most intelligent and the most indus
trious portion of the population, they are al
most entirely unprotected and are persecal ell
in every way possible by the Mohammedans.
They are not allowed to testify in the courts,
while the laws are framed in such manner
as to be especially oppressive far as they
are concerned. A conference of the leading
European Powers for the purpose of devising
measures looking to their relief, was pro posed
some time ago, and will meet in short time
in Madrid. England, France, Spain, Italy,
Russia, Portugal and the United States will
be represented, and it is to be hoped measures
will be devised which will secure the ends in
view. The Jewish population in Morocco
numbers in all upward of three hundred and
fifty thousand

The Charleston (South Carolina) Netrs ana
Courier says that the South is opposed to the
nomination of Tilden as the Democratic can
dIdate for President, because he cannot be
elected if nominated Mr.. Tilden canaet be
elected because he cannot command the undi-
vided support of the New York Democracy
and because in particular Southern States, Vir
stnia and Texas being the foremost, a large
body of Democrats dislike him more than they
fear Grant. There being no hope of the cleo
ZION Of Mr.. Tilden, the Southern Democrats
are constrained to ask themselves whether
they will allow Mr.. Tilden to be nominated,
or will follow him to defeat if he be nomina-
ted. The South will probably protest against
the choice of Mr.. Tilden, and be disposed to
- bolt if he succeeds in thrusting himself
upon the convention. These opinions were
reached after a careful survey of the whole
field, and consultation with numbers of infiu-
entail Democrats, and were given to the pub
lie without heat and certainly without exulta-
ton.

Last Monday n search WAS made for
Jackson's body, which was found GOV
cred with snow, clothes torn of and the
flesh all eaten away by coyotes, except
one foot which was protected by the

was shot lei the naval, the bullet pass

Gen. Howard will undoubtedly be-

that Hunt, colonel 9th artillery, may

officials that he will probably be placed
