A BACHELOR'S ODE lO BRIGHAM
f YOUNG.
I would I were a Mormon,
With four-and-twenty wiveg,
With twice a hundred children,
And twice ten human lives;
I'd raise me up a kingdom,
w | All of my kith and kin,
And make a little paradise,
For all that dwelt within.
. 1 Anil is it well, O, Brlgham Young,
r Or is It rightly done,
That you have over forty wives,
And I have nary one ;
® And is it well your children count
About five score and three,
And not a single child can trace
Ills virtues down from tue I
You're but an ordinary man,
Your merits are but small,
And what a fractional poor part
To each your children fall!
While I perchance on two or three,
My genious could bestow.
And might thus prove a parent to
, A Newton—or a I'oe !
No sewing buttons on for you,
No rents arc wanting stitches,
You hare a spouse for everything,
One for each pair of breeches !
And then, when weary day is o'er,
Each evening of your life,
You have a house to visit, and
A new and blooming wife.
j My love is boundless as a sea,
As certain to endure,
Enough for four loving wives,
I'm feeling very sure!
Then what a shame, O, Drigham Young,
! You've oue for every day,
While 1 in single, sail estate,
Must mourn my life away.
I'LL NEVER FLIRT AGAIN
I once was really pretty
(That Is, they told me so),
And everywhere I wandered
I alw ays had a beau-
At all the balls and parties
1 held the highest rein.
But now—ah, well ! no matter;
I'll never Girt again.
I'd lovers then in plenty
Who whispered in gentle words,
And with them I would linger
Among the flowers and birds.
And often they would beg mo
To quell their bosom's pain,
But I would—well, no matter ;
I'll never flirt again.
The years were swiftly gliding,
But still I did not care ;
My heart was gay and happy,
I yet was young and fair. •
And still my lovers sought me,
Though they were on the wane;
I'm sorry now, but really
I'll never flirt again.
At last all my admirers
Dropped from me. one by one;
My glass told me tho reason :
The merry race was run.
My rivals called me ''fickle,"
And said I was "insane ;"
I laughed then ; but believe me,
I'll never flirt again.
I'm not so bad I'm sure, now,
For sense has come with yawrs,
And all my youthful follies
Are paid for with iny tears. j
An "old maid" now they call me ;
' It gives me grief and pain ;
' What shall Ido 1 What shall It
I'll never flirt again.
LIFE LENGTHENED.
Cultivate an eqnnl temper ; many a man I
Las fallen dead in a tit of passion.
Eat regularly, not oyer tin ice a day, and
nothing lietween meal .
' Go to In si at regular hours. Get up its
soon as yon wake of yourself, and do not
sleep in the day time, at least not longer
than ten minutes Before noon.
Work always hy the day, and not by the |
job.
Stop working Before you are 'lagged out.' (
Cultivate a generous and aceouiuiodating |
temper.
Never eat when you are not hungry, nor
drink when you are not thirsty.
Never cross a bridge before you come to \
it, for this will save half the trouble of life.
Js't your appetite always come uninvited,
fool off ill a place greatly warmer than (
the one in which you have been exercising;
this simple rule would prevent incalculable
sickness, and save millions of lives a year.
Never resist a call of nature for "a single
minute.
Never allow yotu-M !f to be chilled through
ami through it is this which destroys to
many eve"y year, in a few days sickness,
from pneumonia,called by s molting fever,
i or in tiamunition of too lungs,
j Whoever drinks no liquids at his meals
- j will add y ns of pleasurable existence to
; i hie life. Of cold or warm drinks, the for
mer are most pernicious ; drinking at rii .lis
induces per ons to eat move than they
otherwise would, as any one can verify by
experiment *, and it is excess of eating
which devastates the land *ith tiekness.
' Hufferiug and death.
' After fifty years of age, if not a day la
-1 borer, and sedentary persons alter forty,
1 should eat but twice a day—in the morning
and about four in the afternoon ; persons
• j (>HJI soon accustom themselves to a seven
1 hours interval between paling, thus giving
i the stomach rest ; for every organ without
I adpqfiate rest- must give out prematurely.
■ Regit! i ariv to live under the benign in
•l fiuen.es of the Christum religion, for it
' "has the promise of life that now is, and of
j that which is to come.'

I. MR. AND MpRS. BLAIR AS THEY
RIDE INTO WASHINGTON.
n A friend describes to us the appearance
1_ of old Air. and Airs. Blair as they ride into
Washington City. He is now seventy-eight
years old, and his wife is seventy-six—
,t .They live six miles from Washington, at a
j count ly seat in Maryland, known as Silver
Springs. Nearly every day they both ride
into Washington on h<>rel):u:k; and vvehn
( j. they do not come to Washington, they ride
v as far in the opposite direction Mr. Blair
' wears a broad-brimmed slouched hat, and
looks like tlic relic of a century ago. He
t is very thin ; his tegs are hardly larger tlian
i a eoiniiioii man's wrist ; aud, ly the time
Ji gets inl*i the city, his trowsers haveslip
' ped ha'l way up to his knees. Mrs. Blair.
( who is a robust, fine-looking old lady,
we .r a I r-ia-.l Quaker sun-bonnet, made of
paste boanl slips, so that she can gather it
all up in her hand, and a white dimity short
Mr. llli'ir always rides aUoutst length and
a half of the horse ahead of her. He rides
up to the steps in front of Montgomery
Blair's house, throws the reins down on
the■ I:or.„-"s neck, dismounts, anil proceeds
diix i tiy tip the steps. The liorse drops
his la ad and stands still. Directly Mrs.
Blair ridi s up, switches her husband's
L . horse away, gets off her horse, aiul follows
her husband into the house.
< :. • cji'i of this house is occupied by
Ah ;ng; >jiier. Bi:ur, Air. Blair s oldest son,
( a graduate cl' West Voint, once a Judge in
Mi - .oui'i, an oilice-holder under Buchanan,
I\>ht-iiucter General under Liucolu, a
liiimlly man, a firsfratc Later, and a very
v inil nt lMilitician and .stump speaker; and

'l -- nnd where old Air and Airs. Blair
! alight as b v rid into Wasliiugton, is the
■ o!ii which S-nator Ik-ntoii formerly liv-
I cd. Tli. situated ai ro.-.s the street, in front
j if the White House and nearly opposite
i the AV: i' l)-p irtnii'ut.
< )!•! Blair was ori-inaliy engaged in
banking in ivciitucky. He was brought to
iV; .i-riingion ly Gen. Jackson, ljetween
' whom and himself a warm and life-long
triendshi') subsisted. The old 'rlobe, edited
i b . him. and published by Blair and Rives,
was the great organ of til" Democratic par
ty i:i the days of Gen. Jackson, and was a
poweriu the land. The Blnirs and the Fre
mont - were strong friends until the separa
tion which took place between them at St.
Louis during the war and which proved in
jurious to both parties.
Probablv there is no other man living
who has held so fiianv important interviews
with Presidents in the White House as
Francis P. Blair. Sr. It was he who look
ed out at the request of Gen. Jackson, a
suitable place in which to interline in one
of Old Hickory's messages the following
words:
"I take the responsibility."
Old Mr. Blair has certainly a remarka
ble carver as a politician. He has been a
friend, faithful, bold, and powerful, as an
eincny, malignant, ehivalrie and formida
ble.
"The Vulture's Feast."
The New York Tribune heads an article,
j announcing tin meeting of the Radical
Congrc -.... with these significant words —
"The Vulture's Feast." Tu the next Cun
gres : the Democratic minority will lie suf
fi< n:i.\ larg. in bivak down the two-thirds
lii ijoritv. bv which so much uriwi-e and
unconstitutional legislation l.a; been push
ed through, and under the sheltering wing
of which such extravagance and corruption
has been fostered. If General Grant de
sire to check th extravagance which has
been fostered by Congress, the Democratic
minority will sustain his veto, and prevent
him from !•<. ug overruled as Andrew John
son has constantly Wen. But the present
session will afford tho Radical vultures a
chance to gorge their greedy maws, and
they may be expected to make the most of
their opportunity. Railroad and stemn
b„at subsidies, land grants, bogus claims
a nl plunder, -henios of every description
w ill be pushed with the energy of despera
tion : and these, with deficiency hills, em
' j bracing appropriations leftover from the
' j in-1 s .ion. to nnike a show of economy
j before the election, v> ill add at least u huu- j
I uri d millions to the uebt. and leave the !
• j National Treasury "a beggarly ncc-ount of j
j enigty ljoxe" by the -ith of March. Radi-!
L ' j caiisiii is a luxury for which the people i
1 I must pay dearly, and. the taxpayers who |
' | have voted another four years of it will j
doubtless enjoy the spectacle of "the feast
| of vultures" which began with the opening i

I WATCH!
Already three hills have been introduced
[ in Congress for the amendment, or ratliei
1 the abolition of the naturalization laws.
' This is clearly evinces the purpose of the
radical tricksters to shutout immigrants
1 from foreign hinds, from the privileges of
r American citizenship. It is the avowed
purpose of these scheming rascals to re ju
-1 troduce into politics the old exclusive ideas
>f Know-nothiitgisra, and to that end Con
gress is to be maile the principal instrn
' ment.
Are the liberal, Democratic jieople oi'
America prepared to accept this narrow
minded and aristocratic programme'? Are
we at last to retrograde to that political
level from which the lowest in the scale i l
civilized nations, China and Japan, are
even now about to emerge? Is tliis land
of the free to be walled in with laws which
will exclude from the broad shelters *of our
Constitution, the oppressed people of
other lands? What do we not o-.ve to the L*\
dy anil thrifty toilers, who have come m
the sea to clear out forests, to delve in our
mines and build railroads ? Nay. who nr
wo ourselves, but the sons and grand-soiv,
of foreigners who came here to be Ameri
can citizens just as others are coming to
day ? And it is proposed that we erect a
barrier in the way of these men who seek
our shores that they may enjoy the ri iits
and immunities of a free puople ' it
proposed that we make them travel the
longest possible road to reach thepri,-
ileges of citizenship ! It is proposed that
we hamper with adverse legislation, the
refugee from foreign persecution, who as
he first stands upon American soil. Colum
bus-like, Stoops to kiss the earth, r.ot, in
deed, because he has found a new world,
but l>ecause. under the generous spirit of
our Coostitutkfti aud laws, he hopes so >n
to call himself an American citizen . Can
it he that so illiberal, so contracted t prop
osition as this is to be seriously euvercaiu
| ed by the representatives of this great, uo-
I ble and generous ]><•<. pie ? Yea ! radical
demagogues ara ready to perpetrate any
iniquity, no matterJiow infamous, which,
in their judgment, looks to securing them
in place and power. It is even so-t 'ongrest
is about to attempt to make another Japan
out of this country. High tariffs to ex
clude the cheap goods manufactured,
abroad, and anti-naturalization ia\ • to
exclude foreign-born people from citizen-1
ship, are to do the work.
Therefore, we say unto ail people of lib- |
eral principles, "Watch !" Therefore, we ;
say to tho German, the Irishman, the Etig- j
lisliman, the .Welshman, the Scotchman, j
foreign-born citizens of every nationality,
"Watch 1" In your veins, in ours, flow j
the blood of the men who are to he la- j
booed under the new Know-nothing regime.
They who are to be prescribed are your
kinsmen and ours. Shall we sit v.itii fold
ed hand i whilst a policy looking to the ex
elusion of your kindred and ours from the j
rights which wo enjoy, is about to ba es- .
lablished iu this boasted land of free lorn

Expenses of the Electoral College.
The Radical Electoral College of this ;
State was in session a couple of hours.
They appointed three Si'cretarit-s, not
members of the body, and voted them SSO
a piece out of the State Treasury. Beside
these three Secretaries the twenty-six Elec- i
tors were attended during their brief
skin by a Sergeant-at-Arms, an Assistant |
Sergeant-at Anns, a Messenger, two Door
keepers, two Incidentals (whatever they •
may have been! and three Pages, to all of
whom Literal pay was voted out of th<-
State Treasury. Iu little as in big tilings
the Radicals show their extravagance and
disposition to squander the public money.
Three clerks at fifty delbrs for two hour,
work, is tho way the Republicans prop<->
to save the people's money.
Grant's Cabinet.
There are various speculation)/ as to the
cabinet which is to sir-round tho junior
member of the firm of Boons GRANT,
pawnbrokers, of St. Louis, in his new pos
ition as President of the North American
Mongrelism, But it is almost certain to
comprise the WASHBCRNE family and tiutt
old foul, JESSE GAJ,T, pern. It will proba
bly stand thus : Secretary of StaDe. WASH
j LIFIINE ; Secretury of AVar, n WASHBCRNE ;
I Seerrtai'y of the Interior, A WASH RUNE ;
| Secretary of the Troa-urv, u WASUBUKNE ;
j Attorney-General. .TFSSEGHANT : I'ost Ala -
j ter General, BONNBRS DEXTER. It.won't
I make a particle of difference which is wl ink,
i so they all get places from which they can
steal the people's montq. aud silik the
j country, into everlasting perdition.

A STRANGE ROMANCE.
J i ''Evelyn,' the New Orleans (Jorrepou
r .lent of the Mobil.- Sum lan Times, writes ;
_ j Something like two years ngo young
e M , the sou of one of the wealthiest
s men in I. mbiaiia. f-11 deeply in love with
fa young Inly of a m ighboring parish. His
1 love was returned with warmth, and tliev
- were engaged. Hut now an obstacle came
s in the way. M' father opposed the match.
. For some time he kept this a secret from
. his 17AM nr. .ml meanwhile she was making
l>re]mrntiort; for the wedding. She was an
i' or] >nau, lnt ha.l been left a small property
_ which, valuable b fore the war, brought
. her but !iitl< over Se,(kM). This she expen
p ded upon her trousseau, feeling that as her
t intended husband was rieh, she had no ne
. eessity for saving, and that she would nibke
i an apptarunee worthy of their station. As
, the time drew near when they were to be
■ united, M— seemed to change toward
t her, ami grow cool and serious. In vain
she tried, with all the arts which love could
rwigm'sr. <• loam t! • seer, t oi the ehung*,
■ i but he di l not .-r,..fide in her. and she couid
. ! only wait and w.-ndor. At List the time
tlx- u for the cere inooy came. M was
, foi'.ssl to make a confession- Ho said his
; father forbade the match, that be had sup-
I posed her an h< iress when he engaged hiin
selt to h- •. ami now lie coultlnot Untrrv her
agsiimst his dear father's will. The shock,
which this gave the young girl ean I>e im
agined. iMittirally, one would say that she
bhott.d li.it,.- d: pined him, and feel herself
for. ui. i < i.i i...iking h.-r escape, but on the
eontr.ir, /,; was t.ieu only that she felt how
niueh she loved him. She ha l given her
h. if without p-serve, and, as tar as she was
iconis.ii-1, s'; WAS hi.-, forever. Tor the
i iiexr year and a half she was in a convent,
tilth' p.- eAeludeii from the world : but some
j two aionihs gt > sin was ]>ersnaded to conn
j to this . ,:y. and remained here for some
i two or three weeks. Out day she received
a letter which seemed to disturb her, and
!on going io he r room r, a friend tcuud
! h'i' i'.-r- knees praying for the man who
: had d -vrt-'d her. Tie was very sick iu the
| e."i!.!:- v and In-ggt ! her-o couie to him.
.On that- very day M .'.s father died,
