I love to kiss the pretty maids,
And often with theta tarry;
But when they're old their beauty fades
So hang me if I marry.
Some girls are handsome, some'are not,
Some proud, and some are merry;
And some aro good, ('tis few I wot.)
But bang me if .T.,nArry ; . -
Some girls are as 'the Illy white,
With lips as red as cherry, •
And eyes that beatecrith pleasure bright,
Vet hang me it I marry..

Some girls are full of conquetry,
But bold the Old Harry;
Such glrle will never do for me,
Bohan Mt. if I marry
Boma girle for money marry tunas,
And high their heads they carry;,
They make ihek linshandeeflti tZi;
So hang me if I marry.
Some girls, with whom you're deep in love,
Willidways be fontrery;
Titep,sav you're serpents—they are doves,
fin hank me it I marry.
If once they get you in their (4;14
Let you be e'cr .o weary ;
They will your resolutions foil,
That you will never marry.
Then let me caution you—bewarei
And don't be in a hurry;
But while you have your seneec, swear
ThatylAl will never marry.
For whoa your children ouud you get,
With pa, I must be carried;
You must leave off your work. and fret—
"l wialt I'd neer been married."
OK! WOULD THAT I'D BEEN BORN A BOY
Oh! would that I'd boon born a by,
now happy I would be;
I'd be the envy of the men,
The girls should worship me.
I ii wear a very graceful Inkt,
Ko t a stove-pipe affair;
And from beneath its brim sbould Slow
Rich waves of dark brown hair.
I wouldn't be a fop you know,
For fops I do despise;
But dress with style end taste enough,
To please the ladies% eyes.

To have a night key—that I would,
And I'd go out and in
Without a dozen folks to aek
"Why, Rollo, where have you been ?"
I wouldn't drink, or chew, or swear ;
I wouldn't—yes, I would,
I'd smoke cigars, provided I
Could always get them good.
I'd have a dozen pretty girls,

And then I'd have s a - dair brunette,
A darling I'd adore',
A darling, melting, litarli.-eyeil lovo,
A teasing, hugging elf,
With - yielding chorine, and round while anus,
A deer just like myself.

And there's some fellows in this town,

the hour is come-L:thenhertshed hour
When from the busy world set free,
I seek at length my lonely bower
And muse in silent thought on thee
And. old bow svPutt to know that still,
Though severed from thee widely,
Our minds the self-sainti thought cOio

Oar eyes yet seek the self-Setne star.

HOW A MINISTER FOUND
THE PLACE.
Not long since the worthy pastor of one of our
city ch urches, who combines divinity and humor
in a woof of wit as bright and rich as a "cloth of
gold," was called upon ono evening by a name
less gentleman, and informed that his services
would be required at an early hoer in the morn
ing fur a peculiiin and delighted ditty, and took
his leave.
Bright and early the reverend gentleman was
ready and waiting, whon a carriage was driven
up by a "sorrel" boy with "freckled" horses, who
rang the bell, which was answered by the domi.

ensued :

THE REWARD OF COURTESY,
A for years since, on a radiant spring afternoon
two men who, from their conversation, appeared
to be foreigners, stopped before the gate of one of
the large workshops in Philadolnbia,foctle, man
ufacture of locomotive engines. Entering a small
office, the eider of the two men inquired of the su
perintendent if he would permit them to inspect
their works.
"You can pass in, and look about," said the su
perintondent,vesed, apparently, at being disturbed
in the perusal of his rkewpaper, lie then scann
ed the two strangers more closely. They were re
spectably but plainly .clad, and evidently made
n o profession to zoilleial,dignity of , •ani:lr d.
"Is ther"e any one wile ean - slioW' us over the es

Mr. Wolfe, the eldest of the two,etrangers.,
"You must pick yotty trent way gentlemen," re

It was not so'much the matter as the manner of
this reply, that wits offensive to lif r.Wolf and his
companion. It was spoken with a certain official
assumption of superiority mingled"with contempt
for his visitors, indicating a haughty and selfish
temper on the iart of the epeaker,
"I think we will not trouble 'you," said Mr.
Wolfe, bowing; and taking his companion's arm
they pada out.
"If there is•anything I heartily dislike, it is in.
civility," said Mr. Wolfe, when they were in the
street. "I do net iilatie the man for not Wishing
to show us over the establishment; he is no doubt
interrupted by many heedless visite: s ; but •he
might have 'dideissed us with- courtesy. He

shop of a similar kind. They wore received by a
brisk little man, the head elerk,,apparently, who
in reply to their request to 'be shown ever the es

gentlemen—this way." So saying, be hurried
them along the area strewed with iron, bars, bro
k'on and rusty wheels of iron, fragments. of old
boilers and cylinders, into- the principal work
shops.
Here, without stopping to explain any one thing
he led the strangers along, with the evident in
tention of getting rid of them as soon as possible.
'hey ptilized where the workmen were riveting
the external casing of a boiler; tho ,, clerk knifed
at his watch, tapped with his foot against an iron
tube and showed other signs of impatience;
whereupon ;qr. Wolfe remarked, "we will not de.
thin you longer, sir," and with his friend he took
his leave.
"That man is au improi - ei4eut on the other,"
said Mr. Wolfe, "but all the eirilitS , he has is on
the surfixe; it &ice not coma from the heart.—
We must look further."
The stranger walked on nearly half a mile in
silence, when ono of them pointed to an 'humble
sign, with a picture of a locomotive engine with
a train of ears underneath. It overtopped a small
building not more than ten fmit in height, com •
municating with a.-yard and a workshop.. "Look"

Mr. Wolfe.

Fire menthe afterivard, as the mechanic whose
means were quite sat in his office, medi

two strangers entered. He gave them a hearty
welcome, handed eha:rs, and all sat down.

THE WARRIOR MAIDEN
Sometime Jost before or about the : beginning
of the revolutionary n war, Supra Jasper, of llia
rion's Brigade, had 'the good fortune to save
the life of a young, beautiful and dark oyes Cre
ole girl called Sally St. Clair. -` nor susceptible
nature was overcome :with gratitude to her pro
wler, and this - ,soon ripened into a passion of
love, 'Of the . roost . deep and fei4tent kind. she
lavished npon'hiin the whole wealth of her affec

by a Southernsun. When ho was called.upon to
join the ranks of his country's defenders, the pros.-
poet of theit Separation almost maddened her.—
Their parting came ; but scarcely was 311.3 left
alone, ere her romantic nature prompted the
means of re-union. Once resolved no considera

thought of consequence could move - her 'tames:o.
She severed her long and jetty ringlets, acid pro
vided herself, arid set forth to fellow the fortunes
of her lover.

she was a Iranian. Not CVOII. Jasper hiuisolf, al
though t. she.

her disguise, but treated her , with kindness and

The romance of her situation' ineiensed the fervor
of her passion. It was her delight to reflect that

over him, in the hour it danger. She bud fed her
paision "by wiling upon bite in the litnir`of aliam
ber ; hovering near him when stealing' through
the ssratnP. and Abichet,and always ready to avert
danger fromhis
But gradually there stole a melancholy present
iment over the jeer girl's mind. She had been
tortured with linpim deferred; the war Witi.proleng
ed, and the proepeet of being restored, to him
grew more and more uncertain. But now she
felt that her dream of happiness could never be
realized: She hocame convinced that death was
about to snatch her away from his side; but she
prayed that she might die, and he never knew to
what length the +ic:l6tee. of her passion bad led
her: '
It was the ere before a battle. The camp had
sunk into a repose. The watch fires were burn
ing low, and only the slow tread of sentinels fell
upon the profound silence of the night air as they
moved through the dark shadows of the forest.—
Stretched upon the ground, with no other couch
than a blanket; reposed the warlike form of Jas
per. Climbing vines trailed themselves into a
canopy above his head, through which the stars
shone down softly. The faint flicker from the
expiring embers of fire fell athwart his counte
nance, and ringed the check of one who bent
above his couch. it was the smoothed face strip
ling. She bent low down, as if to listen to his
dreams or to breath into his soul pleasant visions
of love and happiness.. But tears traced them-
selves down the fait: One's cheek, and full silently
but rapidly upon the brow of her lover. A mis
terious voice has told that the hour of parting has
come; that tp morrow her destiny is, consummei
ted.. There is Mcclast, long, lingering look, and
the unhappy maiden is seen to tear herself away
from the spot, to weep out her sorrows in privacy.
Fierce and terrible is the conflict that on the
morrow rages on that spot. Foremost in that
battle i 4 that intrepid Jasper, and ever by his side
fights the stripling warrior. Often ; during the
heat and the smoke gleams suddenly upon the
eyes of Jasper the melancholly face of the maid
en. In the thicket of the fight, surrounded by
enemies, the lovers light side by side. Suddenly
a l ance is leveled at the breast of Jasper; but
swifter than the lance is Sally St Clair. There
id a wild cry, and at the feet of Jasper sinks the
maiden, with the life - nlood gusting front her
