BBACTII, WIT AND GOLD
la a bower a widow dwelt,
At her feet three lover's knelt;
sack adoed the widow much,
Each essay'd her heart to touch;
Oae bad wit, and one had gold,
One was cast is beauty's mould;
Guess which was it won the prize,
Tongue, or puree, or handsome eyes?
First began the handsome man,
Peeping proudly o'er her fan,
Red his lips and *bite his skin, •
Could s 'eh beauty fail to win!
Them stepped forth the man of gold,
Cash he counted, coin be told;
Wealth the burden of his tale.
Could such golden projects fall ?
Then the Minn of wit and sense,
Wood her n ith hid eloquence;
Xaw sbe beard him with a sigh,
'Then she tiluslfd scarce knowing why ;
Then she etuiled to hear him speak,
Then a tear WWI on her cheek;
Beauty vanish. gold depart,
Wit had won the widow's heart.

A Carious Love Story.
Says the Easton (l'a.) Argus •• First Love
the world generally admit% is always the
m ist sincere. An instance illustrating the
truth of this recently came to ear knowledge,
which is worth repeating. Forty-five years
ago, a young nisn mimed Peterson, served
bis apprentice hip at the printing business,
in the t.tic•o id Christian Jacob Hunter, of this
place. Whilst in his employ he became in
terested in a young lady of our town, and pro
posed marriage. Ile was accepted, but the
mother ol the girl opposed the match and
broke it off. After finishing his trade, he
went to one of the Southern States. and mar
ried a sister of lion. John JL. Clayton. former
United States Senator from Delawitre. After
having two children, his wife died and left
him a widower. lie then emigrated tu Cana,
da West, where he became quite a wealthy
and prominent man, and filled the office ut
Cimiity Recorder, a life appointment, at
Liuelph. There he married toe second times
and became a second time a widower. Last
summer he passed through Easton on his
road to Wilmington, where his daughter was
at iodiool; mid whilst here male inquiry after
the sweetheart of his younger days. Ascer
taining that she wasa widow, and residing in
Philadelphia, he called upon her, renewed
his at quaintaisee, and after more than forty
years separation, again proposed marriage to
her, and was accepted. Ile was to have mime
un here this very week to be married, but was
taken suddenly sick, &suit ten days aga, with
an atack of pleurisy. and dist after a 'hurt
illness. A few days Lefton) Ins death, he wrote
to the object of his first erections, telling
her that be was doubtless on his dying bed
and never expected to see her again us
earth.
• " Tre Got Orders Not to Go."—"'l've got
orders, fPllbitive orders nut to go there; ordure
that I dare n,,c di+otiey," said a youth, who
was being incited to a smoking and gamb
ling saloon.
''Cume, don't be an wornanidt—come along
like a man," shouted the youths.
•• What special orders have you got? come,
show 'eru to ua, if you eau; show us your
orders."
John took out a wallet from his pocket, and
pulling nut a neatly folded paper, ••it's here."
he said, unfoldmg the paper, and showing it
to the buys. They looked, and one of them
read aloud: " Enter not into the path of the
wicked, and go nut into the path of wicked
men. Avoid it, puss nut by it, turn from it,
and pass away."
" Now," said John, "you see my orders
forbid me going with you. They are God's
orders, and by his help I don't mean to break
them."
Valuable Secret.--The unpleasant odor pro
duced by perspiration is frequently the source
of vexation togentlemen and ladies, tome of
whom are as subject to its excess as their fel
low mortals of another color. Nothing is
simpler than the removal of this odor at much
less expense and much more effectually than
by the application of such costly unguents
and perfumes as are in use. It is only ne
cessary to procure some of the compound
spirits of ammonia, and plate two tabloepoon
lots iu a truth of water. Washing the face,
hands and arms with, this leaves the skin as
clean, fresh and sweet as one
. eould wish.
Thewash being perfectly harmless, and very
cheap, we recommend it on the authority of
one of our most experienced physicians to our
readers.—Ex.
sera western editor hearing it remarked
that persons in a drown's% condition sudden

"TRUTH IS MIGIITT, AND WILL PIIEVAIT.."
A Short Clergyman
A few miles below Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
there now lives, and has Jilei fur several
years lust, n worthy clergyman, a man, liovr
ever. lory short in stature. 1'11 , 41 a iertatn
Sunday, about eighteen years ago, this cl?r
gyruan was invited by the pastor of a church
to fill his pulpit fur the day. The invitation
was excepted, and Sunday morning Raw Mr.
in the pulpit. Now it happened thnt
the pulpit wax a very high one. awl acc•,rd
ingly nearly hid the poor, little clergyman
from view. However, the congregation, out
of respect, managed to keep their countenan
ces, and with over pious laces seemed religi
ously anxious for the text. They were not
obliged to wait king, for a nose anti two little
eyes soddenly appeared over the top of the
pulpit, and a, squeaking, tremulous TO31:0 pto
claimed in nasal tones the text:
" Be of good cheer ; it id 1, be not afraid
A general roar of laughter followed the an-
Dim ncemeu cl ergy inan became confused,
and turned all sorts of colors. M an y , in the
general upronr left the church, anti it was a
long time before the minister was enabled to
proceed with the sermon so abruptly broken
of.
Afternoon came, and the little man, itttn,l
ing on a faatstaol, had a lair view of hie
audience. The text was announced in due
form :
A little while ye shall see me, and again
n little while and ve shall nut see me."
In the course othis sermon he repeated
text with great eArflemillelll, and stepping

A Good Story.
An anecdote, worth laughing over, is told
of a man who had an infirmity, as well as an.
appetite for fish. Ile was ans . to keep up
his character for honesty, men while enjoy
ing his favorite meal; and while making a
bill with his merchant, as the story goes, and
when his hack was turned, the line.% buyer
slipped a codfish up under his coat tail. But
the garment was too short to corer up the
theft, and the mercliaut perceived it.
"Now," said the customer, anxious to im
prove all opportunities to call attention to his
virtues, "Mr. Merchant. I bare traded with
you a great deal, and paid you up honestly
and promptly, haven't I?"
"0, yes." said the merchant, "I make no
complaint."
"Well," said the customer, "I alwn'a
sited that honesty is the best policy, and the
best rule to live and die by."
"That's so," returned the merchant.
And the customer turnell to depart.
...Hold on, tricoll," cried the merchant.
"speaking of honesiy. I hare a bit ul ailt ice
to give you. Whenerer you mite to trade
again, you had better wear a lwAyer coat, or
steal a shorter codfish."
Where the Laugh Came In.
Dunces and Sizer's farms adjoined each
other. Sizer had an unruly sheep- which
was in the hahit of getting into Bonce's
Dunce ez?ostulnted with Sizer several timed,
an d then told him if he did not keep his
sheep at home, he would as him so that he
wouldn't 'limp any more fences. But nonce
soon found the sheep hack again; so he
caught him, and with a knife severed the
cuticle or skin j
ust beyond the grimbril joint,
and between the main cord aid bone. then
thrust the other hind leg through the niter.
ture, and put the ahem) through the fence,
who went off hobbling on three legs. Sizer
aeon after discovered the sad plight his sheep
wan in. and he knew very well who was the
cause of it, but he concluded to take things
and await some suitable opportunity
to rep cop himself. Presently Bunce's old
sow broke into Sizer's field, when he canght
her, and with a sharp knife cut her mouth
almost from ear to ear, mid turned her back:
When Bullets discovered this, he wont to
Niter in a great rage, and demanded of him
what lie did that for. Shier said, "upon my
my word, neighbor Mince, I didn't do any
such thing. Your old sow split her mouth

Anneodote of Henry Clay.
The great atatosman and orator waa4ravel
ing somewhere "out We.t," stud put up for
the night at a country tavern. " Mine
host," in looking over the register, discovered
the name of Henry Clay. There was but one
"Clay." Could it be possible that he had
this - distinguished man under hir roof? Ho
was astounded, delighted. Next morning as
soon as the "great man" appeared, the amia
ble boniface bustled forward and made his
rude bow.

lerAn old friend, a diatingoiehed judge

of a young man who had nu money, but who
wanted to visit Connecticut, and who packed
himself into a box and had himself called fbr

weight caused suspicions to be engendered in
the driver's mind, and an investigation dis

Si. Louis and Chieago.—A correspondent
of the Laconia, N. 11., Democrat, writing
from St. Louis, says:
In its general appearance St. Louis resem

On the principal streets every third door is a
drinking saloon. Al Chicago every other door
is a ruin hole and the one next to it a lager
beer shop.

Old Hoes, You're Too Late.
Early this morning there were added to
nor c, , inpany of travelers a pair who looked
like runnivny% : the gentleman was a tall,
rnsr-b, , ned specimen of the "half bone, half
nligstor" clan, and the lady a fair match for
him.Atnenoz the passengers from Napoleon
is a solemn looking gentleman, who bits all
rilong been taken fora preacher. About nine
o'clock last night I was conversing with the'
"reverend" gentleman, when a young man
ttenped up, and addressing him, remarked,
"We are going to I are a wed lines, and would
like you to officiate." "All:right, sir," he re
plied, laughingly, and we stepped into the
ladies' cabin, whore, sure enough, the couple
stood waiting. There had been some kissing
games, and several mock marriages gone
through with during the eveninir, and I sari
posed this was merely a continuation of the
sport ; 'and so thought the "preacher" who a ;
could see, had a good deal of humor in hit'ff,
and was incline* to promote general good
feeling and merriment. The couple stood op
before him, (a good deal more solemn than
was necessary in a mock marriage. I thou2lit,)
and the "preacher" asked the necessary ques
tions, and then proctse. ding in the usual way,
announced them ••hushand and wife." There
was a good donl of fun afterward, and when
it was over, I left the cabin—and su did the
"preacher," who remarked to me that he
liked to see the young flake enjoying them
selves, and toot a great deal of pleasure in
contributing to their fun : but lie did not un
derstand why they should select Lim to act
the preacher.
Just then some ono called rue aside, and
the old gentleman stepped into his stuter.,oni,
which was next to mine. When I returned.
the door stood open, and the "preacher"
stood just inside with his gloat and test off,
and one boot in his hand, utilising with the
gentlenutn who played the "iittendunt." and
who as I came up, remarked : '•Well, if that
is the case, it is a good joke, for they are in
dead earnest and have retired to tho same
stateroom." The old gentleutait raised both
hands as he exclaimed heavens!—
you dun't tell me so!" and rushing, just as
he was, boot in hand, to the stateroom indi
cated, Commenced an assault on the da r as
if lie would batter it exclitiminv: at
each lick : "For Heaven's fake I ain't a
preacher 1" The whole cabin was cr o used,
every stateroom door open u ith a shim,
when the dour opened, .ti:d the ••Arkausas

marked: " Old hott—ywe re ratier too late !"
