Remenisoeties of theWitite Rose remember, I was planted By a maiden's snowy hand, And her ftit'm was sweetly graceful As a sylph's from fairy land. Her blue eye was brightly sparkling With tht purest joy and love, And she seemed a happy angel That had wandcred from above. Sunbeams of life's pleasant morning, Trembled on her youthful way; And before her eye the future With enchanting prospect lay. Meek and lonely was her spirit, And she loved the blooming flowers, For she read of God, in nature, On this pleasant land of ours. By a neat and pretty cottage, Where rich flowers in beauty bloom, I was trained around a window, . There to shed my sweet perfume: And there my guardian would warble, Her sweet songs with merry tune; - Pleasant as the fairy-wind.harp's; In the month of rosy June. But one spring time she did languish,. As my own fair severed flowers; And her cheerful song grew fainter, Through the balmy venal hours. Till one morning when my Poses Were in all their wealth of bloom, ' They placed her by her favorite window, Where I'shed my sweet perfume. Her fair form was white as marble And I saw it had no breadth; But it was so very lovely That I could not think 'twas death But my sweetest rose was resting In her still and icy hand— And her friends were gathering round her And how stricken was their band. With slow steps that seemed so solemn Far away her form they bore, And the cottage now is lonely, For I never saw her more. But I hear them say the angels Bore her spirit to the skies, Where she lives a smiling cherub In the realms of paradise. ttioccllnncous Selectiono Married and Unmarried. The situation of a married and unmar ried female, it must be confessed, .is very unequal—the former having greatly the ad vantage in the scale of earthly happiness; and the world makes the distinction still more unequal than nature intended it. At thirty-five the married woman is considered in the noon of life, while the single woman is looked upon passed. Again the wife has less necessity to de pend epos intellectual pleasures as resources against the lassitude of ennui. She has duties to perform let her station in life be what it may, to which*the single woman can not turn to vary the monotony of her exist ence. The matron, if she be a mother, will find a sufficient stimulus to keep up or re vive, in the early instruction which it is one of woman's sweetest privileges to give her offspring, the knowledge and accomplish ments which.she learned in her youth. What pleasure can be higher or more un alloyed to the bestower—what sight more endearing to the beholder—than a matron, over whose brow the shadow of time, like that on the dial, has passed, yet left much of the sunny light of life behind, leading her fair daughter to emulate the grace, of which she herself is so fair a pattern? Or to mark a son, in all the pride of youthful manhood, paying back with love, little short of adora tion, the cares of her whose gentle instruc tion first lured hint to seek the wide paths of knowledge, and at whose knee his infant prayer was first breathed ? Other feelings grow cold ; other memories pass away; but the gentle image of the mother who has watched our childhood—her love, her un wearied devotion, will forever be mirrored in the human heart Matrimony and its inducements. An exchange paper says we heard a very good joke some time since that occurred in Paris where there are all kinds of strange people and a great variety of queer places. Among the latter are offices for the procure ment of marriages, and the keepers of the same are called marriage brokers. It appears that a'young Parisian, who had once known prosperity, became exceeding ly poor, and in cogitating upon the best means to recruit his finances stumbled upon the thought of matrimony. He had hither to lived, a wild and independent life, and the connubial thought was therefore reluctantly entertained ; but his affairs were pressing, and his wit could suggest no other means to retrieve them. He posted to the brokers office, and made application for a lady, young, and rich. Hymen's agent stated' that he had called very opportunely, as he had upon his book a lady that was young, fair, and worth fifty thousand francs. The eyes of our friend sparkled at the mention of the money, and for that consider ation he was willing to submit to the imam bmnce of a wife. 'Very well,' said the broker, 'I will give a I description of your person to the lady, make some inquiries in reference to your family, report the same, and give you an answer in the morning,' Otir hero expressed himself satisfied, and was about leaving, when the broker stopped him, and mentioned that as he would be put to a good deal of trouble about the matter, and it might be possible a failure, it was but fair that he should be rewarded, in fact it was indispeneible that his fee should be paid in advance. 'And what is your fee, sir ?' asked our he ro, somewhat chop-fallen. 'Fifteen francs,' replied the broker. The young Parisian gazed steadfastly at the man for a moment as he buttoned his coat close up to his chin. 'And have you the intolerable 'impudence to suppose,' he said, as he thrust his hand into a torn pair of gloves, and darted indig nantly towards the door, 'that if in the entire universe. I possessed such an amount fifteen francs, I would be frantic enough to get mar ried ?' I Genuine Yankee. "Halloo, my good friend, can you inform me how far it is to the next house ?" Jona than started up—leaned on his hoe handle— rested one foot on the gambrel of his sinister leg, and replied : "Halloo yourself ! how d' do ? wal I guess I can. 'Taint near so far as it used to be afore they cut the door out of the woods away, then it was reckoned four miles, but now the sun shrivels up the road, and it ain't more'n tew. The first house you come to is a barn, and the next is a haystack; Hos kins' house is on beyond. You'll besure to meet his gals before you get there; tarnal rompin critters, they plague our folks more'n a little. His sheep gits into our orchard. Dad sets the dog arter the sheep, and me ar ter the gals—and the way he makes the wool.. and I the petticoats fly, is a sin to snakes." "I see you are inclined to be facetious, young man, pray tell me how it happened that one of your legs is shorter than the other?" "I never 'lows ' body to meddle with my grass tanglers, mister, but stin' its you, I'll tell you! I was born so at my 'tickler . request, so that when I hold the plow, I can go with one foot in the furrow and t'other on land, and not lop over; besides its con• venient when I mow around a side hill. "Very good indeed, how do your potatoes come out this year ?" "They don't come out at all, I digs 'em out and thar's a tarnation snarl on 'em in each hill." "But they are small, I perceive." "Yes, I know it. You see we planted some whoppin blue 'noses over that patch there, and they flourished so alGredly that these stopped growin' just out.'of spite, case they know'd they couldn't keep up." "You appear to be very smart; and I should think you Could afford a better hat than the one you wear." "The looks ain't nothing,. its all in the behavior." You have lived in these parts sometime, guess." . HI should guess so tew. I was born'd and got my brotin' up in this ere house; but my native place is down to Pordrunk." "Then you say it's about three miles and a half to the next house." “Yes, air, 'twas a spell ago, an I don't believe it's grown much shorter since. Good by to•ye. That's a darn slick of yourn.” Cut it Short. Did you ever hear of the following good un A certain barber of our town, having great gift of gab, used to amuse his custom ers with his long yarns, while he went through his functions on their' heads and faces. One day an old codger came in, took his seat ; and ordered a shave and hair cut. The barber went to work, and began, at the same time, one of hia long stories to to the no little dissatisfaction of the old gen tleman, who becoming irritated at the bar her, said— " Cut it short." "Yes, sir," said the barber, continuing the yarn, until the old gentleman again or dered— "Cut it short, I say, cut it short." "Yes, sir," clipping away and gabbling he faster. "Cut it' short, cut it short, I say r says the old gent. • "Yes, sir;" says the barber,' going on with his story. you cut it short, blast you !" bawls out the old gent in a rage. "Can't sir," says the barber, for if you look in the glass, you'll see I've cut it all off!" And to his horror, upon looking in the glasi the old gentleman found the hair all cut from his head !—Rittsburgh Chronicle. NUMBER 32.
