- Widow Maehree, it's no wonderyou frown,
Och, hone! widow Maehree; gown,
'Faith, It ruins your looks, that same dirty black
Och, hone ! widow Maehree,
How altered your hair with that close cap you wear,
'Tis destroying your hair, which should be flowing
free,
Be bo longer a churl with its black silken carl,
... , Och, honot widow Machtee.
Widow Maehree, now the summer is coming,
Och, hone ! widow Maehree ; ' . -
When everything smiles should a body look glum,
Och, hone ! widow Maehree ;
Bee the birds go in pairs, the rabbits and hares, .
Why even the bears now in couples agree.
And the mote little fish, though they can't spake
they wish,
Och, hone ! widow Maehree. .
Widow Maehree, and when winter comes in,
Och, hone! widow Maehree ;
To be poking the fire all alone is a sin.
Och, hone ! widow Maehree;
Why the shovel and tongs to each other belongs,
And the kettle sings songs full of family glee,
While alone with yonr cup, like a hermit you sup,
Och, bene! widow Maehree
And how do yon know, with the comforts I've told,
Och, hone ! widow Maehree !
But you're keeping some poor fellow out in the cold,
Och, hone ! widow Maehree ; tied,
With such scenes on your head, your peace 'ud bo
Could you sleep in your bed without thinking to see,
Some ghost or some sprite, that 'ud wake you each
night,
Crying, "Och. hone ! widow Maehree.
Then take my advice, darling widow Maehree,
Och,hone ! widow Maehree ;
And with my advice, faith, I'd wish you'd take me.
- Och, hone ! widow Maehree !
You'd have me to desire. thn stir up the fire,
And sere hope is no liar in whsspering to me,
That ghosts ud depart, when you've me near yonr
heart.
Och, hone ! widow Maehree.
Widow Maehree, I don't wish to be bold,
Och, hone ! widow Maehree ;
I give you my word, my own, my adored.
And as a reward, take this promise from me.
To atone for my sins, your first child shall be twins,
Och. hone! widow Maehree.
LET US BECOME MORE AMERICANIZED.
As Appeal to Americas Womfx: Mothers,
Daughters, Sitters, Read. Reflect And Act. The
following article from the Boston Transcript is
thought to present, in so clear a light, the real
cause of the pecuniary dfficulties under which the
country has benn so long suffering, that it has been
re-printed for general circulation in various forms.
Tho remedy lies in a general system of retrench
ment, and, especially, in the encouragement of
home manufactures. If each individual will de
termine to do his or her duty in the priinises. re
lief, permanent relief, and an avoidence of future
evil, may be safely promised ! But no merely tem
porary cheek to importations will answer tho pur
pose. The victim of gluttony or intemperance
must maintain habitual caution, if bo would recov
er strength of frame - and vigor of limb. Editors
of papers are earnestly requested to copy this Ap
peal, and all true patriots are enjoined to promote
its general circulation. Copies of it. in every
share, should be cheaply printed, and generally
distributed. Shall this appeal be made in vain:
'Hard Times. Everbodv talks and thinks
about the 'hard times;' and almost everbody feels
them, and knows by bitter experience, what they
mean. But very few stop to consider, as carefully
as tbey should, what is the cxnse of all the suffer
ing and anxiety they share or witness, or what
remedy there may be for either. Some attribute
our troubles to the banks, and demand more dis
counts as if the banks were not always eager to
do just as much business as they can do lawfully
and safely. Some attribute them to the great
frauds of agents, who have mismanaged the affairs
of great corporations, and so created a wide dis
trust as if a few unprincipled men could, by mere
speculations blight a whole land worth a million
times more than they have cheated it out of. And
others give other reasons for them. Each of these
reasons may have some weight; but no one of them
is of much significance, norcould all put together
produce such effects as we witness, or account for
Them. It is the peop'e the mass of the peopfe
that make the trouble. No les-? power can bring
about such results. The universal depression and
anxietv.
If an individual spends more than hi3 income,
everybody knows that he must retrench or be
ruined. If the whole nation runs into similar ex
travagance a nation being only a mass of individ
uals the whole nation must retrench or be ruined.
In the United States, for several years back, we
have been spending extravagantly and the con
eequecce is, that there is now a general embarrass
ment and trouble; and we begia to hear a crv to
know the cause and find the remedy. The cause
is as plain as the way to church; the remedy is
equally plain, hut by no means so agreeable. We
have bought more than we can pay for with our
present incomes. We must therefore, retrench, or
go on suffering more and more.
That this is tho true state of the case may be
made clear by two examples, taken from the op
posite extremes of onr folly. The Secretary of
the Treasury tells us that inour la't financial year
we imported thirty three millions worth of "silk
goods. Silks we produce at home only in small
quantities, and it is the merest luxury. We should
be as warm and as well off, physically, in all re
epecU, without spending a dollar on it. Now, if
we want to know what is done with it, look at the
dresses of our women whose husbands and fathers
cannot afford to pay for them, or at the drapery of
their parlors, which are becoming mere monu
ments of vanity and bad taste by their heavy, in
elegant extravagance. Or what, perhaps, is yet
more obvious, look at our large hotels, and the
people who frequent them. One of them, in New
York, whose Ladies' Ordinxry was lately a sight
like a show at the play house, had damask curtains
in it drawing rooms thatcost fifteen thousand dol
lars. At the last accounts they were in the sher
iff's hands. Private parlors of the same fashion
are coming fast to the same end.
But let us go to the other extreme of our folly.
We are compelled to import silks if we must have
them; but if there is any thing of which we have
enough and to spare, it is stones marble and gran
ite and the sand stone, and all kinds of stones.
New England and the Middle States are full of
them. But quantities are now Imported from
France! Churches and honscs. in no small num
bers, are built of them in New Tork and Brooklyn,
and elsewhere. One person in New Tork. we un
derstand, now offers a hundred tons of them for
sale. Next, we ought to hear of importing dirt
tocover up our own rocks, lest the sight of them
should reproach ns with our senseless extrava
gance. Sancho, in Don Quixote, characterizes a
man's folly by saying, he wants better bread than
can be made cf wheat. Do we want better chur
ches and houses than can be built of Quiney and
Hock port granito, or Berkshire and Vermont mar
ble, or Connecticut sandstone ? The very sugges
tion is ridiculous.
But there is no need of such seperate illustra
tions. Our importations for the last two years
how our extravaganca and folly, in the gross, just
as plainly as our French silks and French buil
ding stones show them in detail. Take, for exam
ple, the years 1844 and 1845," and compare them
with the years 1353 and 1854, and see what the
Secretary of the Treasurer says about them; we
mean, what he says about merchandise and goods
of every sort imported and eon-turned in the Uni
ted States in those years, taking the amount as es
timated at the places whence they were shipped.

That is.
we have almost exactly
doubled the average proportion of onr importations
for each individual in the country. We have paid
in the places where the goods were shipped, ten
dollars for every man, woman ' and child in the
United States including the slaves and to these
ten dollars we mast add charges and duties, and
profits, that will bring the whole up to an average
of sixteen or eighteen dollars of mechandize im
ported for each soul on our soil, each of the last
two years. Such a monstrous fact needs only to be
stated. It seeds no Poor Richard to cypher oat
its meaning and its conaequenoes. If, therefore,
we intend to get oat of onr troubles, it if plain that
we must importless- But, to stop this ruinous im
portation, the people must buy less of it.. -It 13
their affair entirely. They can mend the times or
make them harder, just as they choose; and no
other means or power on earth can do either. .
Now, ladies! would you help your country out of
its troubles: Then resolve each - one, ana iorm
leagues with others of yonr sex, to purchase no
aruct or dress, ornament, or tuniture, wnicn is noi
made by your own countrymen, or countrywomen!
And let the fathers, husbands, brothers, and beaux
of America come to the same laudable determina
tion! Then shall we once more see prosperity in
our land, and financial peace throughout our bor
ders! Take a copy of the following pledge upon a
Eiieet of paper, and nana it rouna ior signatures:
PLEDGE IS BKHALP OP DOMESTIC ISDCSTRY.
In view of the "Hard Times" arising from ex
cessive importation, we hereby mutually promise
rot to purchase any article of foreign manufacture
which can readily be obtained of home make, for
the space of, at least, one year, renewable at our
pleasure. We will emulate the noble example of
our mothers during the Revolution whorefusedto
drink the foreign tea, or wear the foreign silk
forced upon our country by British oppressors.
