Rather BE n Widow.

For G. year John Henry's health
mad been wretched, and the physi.
clans finally told him he had only one
chance in ten of recovery. He was
engaged to be married to n girl in IA
New England town, where men are
scarce, and he stopped to see her.
She noticed his paleness, but thought
it was only over work, and told him
how glad she was he was going to
have rest.
"Ah, my dear" he sighed, ~ fear
the rest l shall soon get will be for.

Why, what do you mean, john"
she asked in startled tone.
81 mean, my deal, that my case is
dangerous, and one of my objects in
coming to see you was to absolve you
from our engagement, for it is not
fair to ask you to marry II man whose
death is probable at any moment
Don't talk that way, John, Oh,
don't" she sobbed, with her head on
his shoulder.
"But, darling, it is best for you
that l should, though heaven knows

"Oh, John, Oh, John! L can t give
you upl L won't give you up" and
she chung to him convulsively.
Think, dearest, what you are do

should be married, I might have only

and our married life would only be a
sorrow and care to you. Think,

For the FREE PREss,
WOULD I WERE A JOLLY TAR.


sos0,

And sailed upon the ocean,
For that's the gayest life OF all,
According 10 my notion.
When skies above were bright and fair
Aud gentle breezes blowing,
I'd be tho gayest lad aboard
And beat the best al rowing,
And whom Eolus thundcred down
Upon the rag ng ocean,
ia be sailor brave aud true
Through tempest aud connection.
When Mermaids combed their olfiSh locks
Like some bold, gallant dandy,
I'd hug the hshy maids and swear
They were sweet M tally candy.
And when fair Circe's songs were heard,
From coral cayorns ringing
I'd take my yiol from its case
Aud fiddle to her singing.
She'd Fay was the dearest duck
That's sailed upon the ocean,
Since old Arion played her harp,
And caused such wild commoticn.
You know his magic music brought
The dophins round him hocking;
lie made fair Gree cease her song,
And set tho waYelots rocking.
Old Neptune tried to dance jig,
He felt SO glad and jolly,
While Amphitrite smiled IN scorn
70 see the old mans folly.
The Tritons skipped like little lambs,
Nereus went to dancing,
While from the fairy caves below
The Mercedes came prancing
Oh 1t WAS the queerest time,
Fer seen upon the can;
And old Arion laughed in gleo,
To view the mad cOmmotion,
aud while the merry nymphs around
In graceful dance were gliding,
He made his way across TIE deep
Upon dolphin riding.
And while he played with might and main,
The Sirens wont to singing,
And sweetest echoes rose and fell
From ocean cGyerns ringing.

And sailed upon the ocean;
For that's the gRyest life Of all,
