"GOOD AND BETTER."
A father sat by the chimney post
On a stinter , a day, enjoying a roast ;
Ily hisside a maiden young and fair,
A girl with a wealth of golden hair,
And she teases the father, stern and cold,
With a gnestion orduty, trite and old :
"Say, father, what roan a maiden do
When a man of merit comes to woo ?
And, father, what of this pain in toy breast
Married or single—which is the bent?"
Then the sire of the maiden young and fair,
The girl of the wealth of golden hair,
Ile answers as ever do fathers cold.
To the question °flinty, trite and old:
"She who weddeth, keeps God's letter,
She who weds not, doeth better."
Then meekly answered the maiden fair,
The girl with the wealth of golden hair :
will keep the Petrie of Cal Iloly Letter,
Content to do WELL without doing BErrem
[BY BF:QCEST j
Grandparent of my right, on thee
I fix my youthful view,
And pasqiinroler each kindred lea,
Would yield the homage due.
I e'en desert the festive group
To cull thee to my mind,
I cast aside the ball and hoop
And weep that thou art blind.
Though young in thought. in min% at heart,
Yet all respect thine age,
Yea. love can oft unbidden start
And boyish glee assuage,
For thin I wreathe this simple lay
Which 'round my soul entwined
Lids sorrow whisperday by d.ty,

"Marrying in Fun."
Another instance of the hilly of "marrying;
in fun" is justnow exciting the good people
of Fonda. It scents that a banking officer in
that town met at a, Lull a young lady from
this neighborhood,, who was very good look
ing:, sprightlY, and attractiye. 'While Is'altz
ing with her, he proposed in Jest that they
should he married. The lady accepted his
proposition, and they °adjourned to a side
room, where a. person present was called upon
to perform the ceremony, which be did, tO the
infinite amusement of, all concerned. The
gentleman thought no more of the matter un
til the breaking up of the ball, when the fair
partner called upon him to conduct her to his
resi - hence. — lie demurred and thought she
had better go to her own residence. She said
that the home of her husband was her honie,
"whither thou guest, I will f o llow then." He
didn% hardly understand that she was his
wife. She insisted upon her marital rights.
and claimed that as the ceremony had been
performed by a Justice of th 2. Peace, it was 0
perfeetly fair and legal transaction. The gen
tleman ingaireil.into matters ; found that her
position's were correct. and that he was in a
bad hos. He is now endeavoring to ignore
his wife and back out of the bargain, with
little prospect of success, however. The lady
has before been married, and was, it is under
st eel, divorced from her former husband, but
nailer such circumstances as admitted of
her 'marrying again.—Lanca.ytcr Examiner.

GETTYSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA : MONDAY, APRIL '27, 1857.
As the political commotion in the United
States is over. and everything is quiet, I
thought I would send fall a specimen of a po
litical commotion which sometimes happens
nt particular places. The following is what
I picked up in my five years' sojourn in Cali
fornia: If you consider it sufficiently amus
ing. you may insert it in your paper - for the
gratification of your readers. YoUrs,
frv,of the great deep, lately mot in riarrent
to take into consideration the conduct of the
OrTall, and also of Mankind in general. The
Whale was elected prisident, and, from his
Treatnoss, might be termed the Prince of
Ile opened the cmirtnt ion by stating that
he (lid not wish to make a sreeh ; he would
take up as little room, and be no longer than
possible. (Cheers.)
The Shark whispered to the Swordfish that
was not possible fur the Whale to benumb
lotie•er, for he was eighty feet now ; in his
opinion, he only wanted a chance to spout,
an d he 01 insidered !din a regular old blower.
The Whale contended that, notwithstanding
his general size, (he might add tears,) he was
not exempt from suffering.' He had been
grossly insulter? by man—he wonld say lam
pooned—not that he would pun upon the use
made of his fat, as be did not wi s h to make
light of such a matter. -Ile had been har
p umed at least. Men were sarcastic towards
him, and his shafts were sharp and pointed.
Some of -his fellow whales had been very
nmeh cut up and exceedingly tried . . lie had
lately learned that a substitute for oil had
been invented, which might lessen the perse
cution of whales. but he feared it was all gas,
The Whale, alluded to a harpoon which hail

deeply. (Great sensation.) Here his feel
ings overpowered him, and ho sat down (on
the shark) amid a general blabber.
The Shark rose with some difficulty. and
remarked that the fail of the Whale had
moved him fact it was striking. His ow - n
situation was fir from pleasant. He was, by
pr!fession;‘a lawyer, and, he flattered him
self. our of the deep kiml. [Cheers and !thigh

All lie asked was to be classified with the Eel,
whom he considered a, NUppfyll c hilruder,
[Here the Eel was observed to wrigglel—
Lately he was-pasging a certain species of the
Eel, when ho lust linpuened to touch him: he
had been so shucked that he had hardly re
covered.
The Eel hastily arose; and said he was
electrified at the , e remarks: it was evident
that the Serpent, wa4 more than halt seas over,
and, if he wn:i nut careful, would get into a
regular cell. As to his !wing a, "slippery

belong to %atoll, a waill,..et as the Serpent.
The Whale enlled to t order, and the
Eel called the Whale a .„ . ;outaleil old swell

Ili. prided himself upon the parity of his po
!ideal prineiple:4 : he was the alderman's best
friend. The Shark had lately insulted him
by calling lain► a regular old hard shell.—
llere the Shark interrupted him by asking if'
that was not his edsel The Turtle replied
that he glirTnbl sa'.' nothing inure at present,
but sh.o.old have something to lay before the
next meeting.
The Shark (eontemptuously)- 7 Yes, a few

The l'orp)ise slid not exactly understand
the nurpoFe of the convention, nor whether
all the members were present. Ile proposed
that the Secretary call the roll.
The Whale eailed him to order,_ and was
sorry to see him reeling; ahout in that dis
graceful condition. II is motion was quite opt

The Porpoiqe assured the convention that

cries of "Thn're a Mower !"

The Flattish was not partieularly flattering
in reply to the Shad, for he did' not believe
there was a shadow of truth in his reinarks.
Just then there was a great disturbance
among sundry or the small fry. who had evi
