A maiden is merely a gushing young thing,
Who can waltz, play duets, even possibly sing
A green little fool, either awkward or pert,
Who has learnr.d lots of nonsense, but not how
to dirt.
She's pretty to 'look at, but don't let her speak;
If you make an allusion, she'll fancy it's Greek,
And when you are wise will just give her a
cursory
Glance, and regret that she's come from the
nursery.
A wife is a slave, you may say what you will,
But 'tis bitter to swallow the conjugal pill :
And the girl uninstructed, is always a martyr,
For every man is by nature a Tartar.
Imagine her, fresh from the boarding-school,
rich in
The science of bills and the art of the kitchen!
For men, you'll observe, are such gluttonous
sinuers,
They're a:4 savage as bears it' they don't get
good dinners.

She effaces the girls, and is followed by boys:
Fair visions she forms of a future divine,
But tlainks all the while—" All the Present is

Still at last comes a day when it certainly

Something real should replace her delectable

So she chooses her second—l pity the child;
May her temper be sweet, and her tyranny

A RAILROAD FLIRTATION.
"Katonahl ,, shouted the brakeman,
opening the car door as the train stopped
before a pleasant lit*. station on the Ifar
lett ltallroad. • " A 3
I do not know as I should have partic
ularly noticed that we stopped at all, for
I had been napping it for some miles; but
just as I was casting an inquiring, sleepy
look out of the window, and settling my
self for another sicsto, my attention was
attracted by the entrance of a young lady,
a way passenger, who perceiving the car
well tilled, paused before one in evident
embarrassment.
I scarcely wish the reader to infer from
this that there were no vacant seats; on
the contrary, the chair I occupied, was
selfishly monopolized by my shawl and
valise which had excluded many an appli
cant, and so the moment I observed the
car door opened, I mentally resolved not
to budge an inch; but a glance at the new
comer changed my mind.
She was a young lady of exceeding
beauty, dressed in the rich and tasty style
of the present fashion. Whether it was
her genteel aspect, or the melancholy of
her dark impressive eyes, I cannot say,
but when she ventured almost timidly, to
inquire if the half seat at my side "was
engaged, I gallantly arose and proffered it
to hier at once. I must acknowledge I felt
somewhat flattered by her preference,
for though a young man and tolerably good
looking, I had the sense to perceive there
were far better men around, who like me,
might have shared their chair with the
handsome lady stranger. I fancied they
envied me too, as the fair girl sat plump
down, and her dainty form nestled close
to my side.
"I fear I have disturbed you," said my
companion, in a low, sweet voice, that
thrilled me with its soft cadence.
"Not at all, Mies," I rejoined with
stereotyped politeness. "I am too happy
to ohliL 4 e you."
She bowed and smiled in reply, and a
short pause ensued, as is usual upon such
sudden acquaintanceship. In the mean
while, the train had started, and we rattled
swiftly through the fields and woods, now
decked in the lovely tints of Spring. The
conductor came in, and went through his
customary routine of examining the tick
ets. I perceived hers was marked for New
York, and after some healillion, I said,
"You go to the city?"
"Yes," she replied with a smile of win
ning candor, "that I presume you have
already found out."
"I shall keep your company then," I ob
served pleasantly.
"Thank you, sir."
There was a slight dignity, I thought,
in her tone which repelled further familiar
ity, so, as I am a very modest man, I drew
back and said nothing further. On rushed
the steam horse upon its iron pathway.
One more station had been passed and I
was fast relapsing into my former apathy,
when m lady friend, to my surprise, lean
ed towa ?ds me and whispered.
"I am so very timid on the cars."
"Indeed," said I, quite charmed with
her abruptness. "You surely are well ac
customed to traveling?"
"Perfectly," she replied, with some non
chalance, "but that is not it exactly.
There are so many dreadful accidents on
the railroad."
"Dreadful, indeed!" echoed I.
"And," added my companion with
naivette, "It is so unpleasant to travel
unattended. I usually have my brother
Charley with me; he is a splendid escort."

"If you will allow ino." will I quite

codtr/0 of an old step-ffither, who treats
me oftentimes ill the most cruel manner;
and debars Inc front the society of your sex,
shuts me up in the gloomy confines of my
chamber, and treats me with pitiless rigor,
if I do so much as speak to or look at a
man."
"What a monster!" I ejaculated with a
face of melodramatic sympathy.
"That is the reason," site continued,
lookin, , ?, around her half fearfully as she
spoke, "that is the reason why I am so
diffident about entrusting myself to your
care, hut I do it on one condition."
"Negate it," I rejoined, charmed and de
lighted with the strange confidence the
_young lady reposed in Me..
"That you leave me the instant the cars
reach New York."
I was so bewitched by the beauty and.
charming , ensousiance of my quondam
friend, that I readily gave the required
pledge; apparently quite relieved,the young
lady threw aside all reserve, and talked
and chatted with the most pleasant man
ner possible. It is needless to say that in
an hour's time I had so far advanced in
her good graces, as to venture to press
her land, and the sweet, half-coquettish
smile that played around the corners of
her cherry lips, did not seem to disapprove
of the liberty I had taken.
"Do you know," said she, as we sat
hattitag confidentially together, "that I
liked your face the first moment I saw it."
"It was sympathetic on both sides then,"
I whispered, drawing so near to her that I
could feel her hot breath fan my check.
"Yes," she murmered, gently withdraw
ing herself from my glowing embrace, for
we Nut passed through the tunnel, and I
had taken a lover's advantage and snatch
ed a hasty kiss,
,You area naughty man, the naughti
e,st min I ever saw," she said, in a low
• d tmolow,_tone. "If papa could be
in the train What would he say.*
"Never fear, sweet creature," rejoined
earnestly, "your cross old fater is miles
away, and let us improve the present op
portunity."
"Are you aware?" she observed, half
mischievously, "that there is another tun
nel beyond, a great deal darker than the
one we have left?"
`•I know it," said I with a tender glance
at my fair enslaver. "We are drawing
near to it very fast."
Once more I placed my arm around the
waist of the young lady, and wrapped in
the gloom of the tunnel, took sweet pledges
from her lips. It was very gratifying to
my vanity—all good looking young men
are vain, you know—to perceive that my
lovely companion clung more affectionate
ly to me than before, indeed, I had scarcely
time to tear myself from her arms when
we emerged once more into broad daylight.
She had let her veil drop over her face,
but I could detect the crimson flush
through the fine net work of lace. Her
voice betrayed much emotion as she whis
pered:
"I have gone too far with you, sir; alas,
you have ceased to respect me."
"My sweet charmer," I rejoined, "let
us ever be friends; give me your name and
address?"
"My name and address," she responded
"you must never know; I already feel
frightened to think how far I have per
mitted myself to venture with a stranger.
Forgive and forget me."
"A flirt, a coquette!"
"No, no," she returned hurriedly, press
ing my hand, "I am not a flirt, but I dare
not—as much as I think of you, I dare
not let the acquaintance proceed further;
have pity upon me! have pity."
She looked so pleadingly so intreatingly
with those soft dark eyes gleaming through
tie-silken meshes of her veil, that I could
not persuade myself to be offended with
her. At last she reluctantly consented to
give her name, and handing me a prettily
embossed card, I read "Kate Darrel, No.
University place."
The train had reached thirty-second
street, and I could easily perceive that my
fair inamorata grew every moment more
restless and disturbed. First her head
peered out of the window, than she would
half rise and cast hurried and fearful
glances behind.
Already 1 was beginning to share the
uncomfortable feelings of my companion,
as visions of angry papa flourishing a cane
over my head rose vividly before my
mind's eye, when suddenly Miss Darrel
uttered an exclamation, rose from her
scat, and unceremoniously darted from the
car.
I wondered at the ease and dexterity
with which she descended, though the car
was propelled quite rapidly by horse pow
er, but my wonder and surprise was des
tined to be considerably increased, when
a few minutes afterwards a thick set, stern
looking gentleman entered from the other
side, his eyes inquisitively scanning the
face of each lady passenger.
"Bono!" said he rather gruffly, passing
before me, "has a young lady been occu
pying this seat?"
"I es, sir, ,, I replied, somewhat discon
certed, and quite abashed.
"Light jockey, maroon colored silk and
grey traveling cloak," pursued the gentle
man interrogatively.

beautiful companion was nothing more
than a member of the "swell mob," and
I, while flattering myself upon having
made a conquest, In reality had been the
victim of a cunning and•designing deceiv

kisses, she had dextrously relieved me of

in his mercy to the young woman, to call
the old man to another and better world.
But ere lie took his final departure from
this, he summoned his young wife to his
bedside and announced to her .he was dy
ing, whereupon she wept bitterly. Wy
cherly lifted himself up in the bed, and
gazine; with tender emotion on his weep
ing wife, said:
"My dearest love, I have a solemn
promise to exact from you before I quit
your side forever here below. Will you
assure me my wishes will be attended to
by you, however great the sacrifice you
will be called on to make?"
Horrid ideas of suttees, of poor Indian
widows being called on to expire on fu
neral Pyres, With the bodies of their de
ceased lords and masters, flashed across
the brain of the poor woman. With a
convulsive effort and a desperate resolution
she gasped out an assurance that his com
mands, however dreadful they might be,
should be obeyed.
Then Wycherly, with a ghastly smile,
said, in a low and solemn voice:
"My beloved wife, the parting request
I have to make of you is—that when I
am gone (here the poor woman sobbed
and cried most vehemently), when I am
in my grave—(Mrs. Wycherly tore her
hair)—when I am laid low—(the discon
solate wife roared with grief.)—when I am
no longer a heavy burden and a tie on
you—(`Oh, for heaven's sake,' howled
Mrs. W., ' what am I to do? ')--I com
mand you my dear, young wife—(yes,
y-e-s, love, sobbed Mrs. W.,)—on pain of
incurring my malediction—(y-c-s dear,
groaned the horror-stricken wife)--never
to marry an old man again!
Mrs. Wycherly dried her tears, and in
the most fervent manner, promised that
she never would—and that faithful wo
man kept her word for life.
GOT NO FRIEND.
We were traveling through Canada, in
the winter of 1839, and after a long days
ride, stopped at the Lion Inn, and the
contents of the stage, numbering nine
persons; soon gathered round the cheerful
tire. Among the occupants of the room,
we observed an ill-looking cur, who had
shown his wit by taking up his quarters
in so comfortable an apartment. After a
few minutes the landlord entered, and,
observing the specimen of the canine
species, remarked.
"Fine dog that! Is he yours, sir?" ap
pealing to one of the passengers.
"No, sir."
"Beautiful dog! Yours sir?" addressing
himself to a second.
"No," was the blunt reply.
"Como here, pup! Perhaps he is yours,
sir?"
"No," was the reply.
"Very sagacious animal! Belongs to
you, I suppose, sir?"
"No he doesn't," was the reply.
"Then he is yours, and you have a
treasure," throwing the animal a cracker.
"Nothing of the kind."
"Oh!"—with a smile—"he belongs to
you, as a matter of course?" addressing
himself to the last passenger.
"Wouldn't take him as a gift."
"Then, you internal, dirty, mean, con
temptible whelp, get out!"
With that, the host gave the dog such
a kick as sent the animal yelling into the
street, amid the roar of the company.
—The following conversation between a
colored prisoner and a temperance lecturer
who was in search of facts to fortify his
positions and illustrate his subject, ex
plains itself :
" What brought you to prison, my col
ored friend!"
" Two constables, sah."
"Yes, but I mean had intemperance
anything to do with it?"
" Yes, sah; dey wus bofe of , em drunk,
sah."
—Examiner—" Who was the strongest
man? " Smart boy—" Jonah." " Why
so?" "'Cause the whale couldn't hold
him after he got him down."

TAKE the whites of four eggs and ten
cents worth of quicksilver; pqt them in a
bowl and beat to a perfect frog: Take a
feather and dip into the preparation and
apply to every part of your bedstead
where bugs conceal themselves; do this
once a year, and you will never see a bed
bug in your house.
A CURIOUS puzzle has been whittled out
with a penknife by a man in Norwich
Conn. Ile has taken an eight-ounce vial
and set up in its interior a perfect keg
about two inches long, with four hoops on

the bottle with a wooden plug which fits
perfectly tight and is keyed inside, the
keit dinned and the pin toggled.
To remove warts and corns, take a
small piece of raw beef; steep it all night
in vinegar, cut as much from it as will
cover the wart, tie it on, or if the excres
cence is on the forehead, fasten it on with
strips of sticking plaster. It may be re
moved in the day and put on every night.
In two weeks the wart or corn will die
and peel oft; and no scar left.
IN one of the rural towns in Rhode Is
land, through which swept a recent reviv

all of whom had long voted the Demo

father brought but one son with him and
to queries about the others said,
with a
mournful head shake, "They don't vote
with us any more; they've experienced
religion."
Tim new postage stamps are now in
use. The three cent stamps are smaller
than the old "sorrel " stamp, square in
stead of oblong, blue, finely engraved, and
have the picture of a locomotive under
full headway. On the whole, we don't
see where the improvement on the old style
comes in, unless itconsists in the "divvy"
made by Johnson's P. M. Gen. It is said
that Randall lives in great style at Elmi
ra, New York. We guess that was what
was the matter with the old stamps.
TILE other day, says an exchange, a
lady called at the house of a friend, and
seeing a couple of not large sized pin
cushions lying upon a table, which,
upon inquiry, she found bad been in use
for five years, suggested to the lady of the
house that it would be a good idea to rip
them open and get the needles. At this
the lady laughed, and replied that she
thought it would hardly pay; but upon
the other insisting that she would find as
many as 300, the experiment was finally
tried, when to the astonishment of all, 1,-
500 needles were counted outl We don't
charge the ladies anything for this bit of
information.
