This longing after beauty,
This sighing after curls,
This chasing after fashion.
Wherever fashion whirls.
And all that sort of thing
May do for those who like them
For those devoid of taste;
For those who barter diamonds off,
For diamonds made of paste,
And other block heads.
But to a wife that truly lores,
Who'd be what she appears,
Who'd spread ehunshine around the man
That keeps away her tears,
And brings her taters home.
We'd whifper softiy in her ear,
We'd grave it on her heart,

The Cabin Eoy.
A poor widow had become very miser

was full of painful anxiety, and was very

often famished for want of food, and en-

dured great hardships. Her only son had
just left school, and was bo unhappy at.
that state to which his mother was re- i
duced, that he went about everywhere,
seeing what he could do for her.
'We must not die of hunger,' said he
one day; 'let me go to sea,,perhaps I may
be able to earn something for you.'
His poor mother at last gave way to
his entreaties, but it cost a great deal to
let him go, and almost broke her heart.
The young boy went to the nearest sea
port to see if he could get on board of a
merchant vessel. He asked a great many
captains to take him, but it was all in
vain.
cVfter going from one to another,
weary and sad, he thought he muFtre-'a

" hlIe thus employed, Ire saw something
i fall out of one of them. He picked it up;
jit was a beautiful diamond bracelet. He
l ran after the carriage, and called out to
jthe coachman to stop, but it was useless.
The carriage was soon out of sight. John
! went back directly to the captain, and
showed him what he had found.
'You're a lucky fellow, John: these are
very valuable diamonds.'
'But they are not mine,' answered John.
'Where did vou find them!'
'They fell out close to me; I picked
them up and ran after the carriage, but
the coachman drove on, and neither saw
nor heard me.'
'Well, John, you did all you could do
to give them back to their owner; now
they are yours, you can sell them in Lon
don, and get a great deal of money for
them.'
But John was too honest to bo caucht
by the bait.
'No, no, Captain, the diamonds are not
mine. If we had a storm in returning to
England, I could not pray to the Cord,
with such dishonest intentions in my heart;
and what would become of us then?'
'Ah, I had not thought of that,' said
the captain, who only wanted to try him,
come, we'll try and find the owner.'
He was soon discovered, and John re
ceived, 50 as a reward for his honesty.
An immense sum for him! At the Cap
tain's advice, he laid it out in furs, which
he afterwards sold in England for double
the price they had C03t him. With this
little fortune, and a light, joyous heart,
he began his journey home. He saw the
cottage where he had left his poor mother;

thought 'my poor mother died of want

of the neighbors, who ran up to him, and
told him his mother was still living, and
was well, though in the almshouse. With
greatest delight to take care of her, and
to support her with bis labor.

cause it is in perfect accordance with the
established principle of representation,
"that a legislator is bound by the expres

lature should refuse to pass a law for the
whole State, then it is the duty of that
body to pass an absolute law for all the
counties voting in favor, to which might
be added a provision that the other coun-
ties may accept the same by a popular
vote on tuc suoject.
Resolved, That should the above laws

then a general law should be passed, with
a provision, similar to the school law, by

which the counties may accept or reject
the same by a popular vote.
Resolved, That in case a special law
for the prohibitory counties, or a general
law to be accepted or rejected, be passed,
then the Legislature should also pass a law
absolutely prohibiting the sale of intoxi-
cating drinks throughout the State, upon

"That no law, lioiccvcr stri?igcnt, which
recognises the right to sell intoxicating
drinks, can receive our sanction, as we
believe the time has fully come, when all
efforts to regulate this traffic should be at
ouce and forever abandoned."
Resolved, That if the Legislature will,
in spite of all our efforts to prevent it,
continue to license any portion of our cit
izens to sell intoxicating drinks, then jus
tice absolutely requires that the dealers
in spiritous, vinous or malt liquors should
bo placed upon equal grounds, and be ro-
quired to outain tueir license in me same
way, as the intoxicating principle is the
same in all, and all are destructive to th e
