Au old iTIaiiN Question.
Tell me can a youthful maiden
Love an old grey-headed man 1
Do not smile, but give an answer,
Cheering dearest, as ye can.
The question you've proposed, kind sir,
Is calculated to perplex ;
But yet methinks I'll thus define
Love's secret'jnfluence o'er my sex.
A girl can love a grey old man,
Yea even with a warmth sincere,
If he has traits of character
Which in a " father" we revere.
But, oh! true love of nature's birth,
If to its impulse left 'alone,
Lacks some young heart where equal pulse
Throbs back the rapture of its own.

A Roiuautic Story.
The Boston Times relates the follow
ing incident as an illustration of the
manner in which they do things Down
East:
A, few months since, a gentleman,
whom we shall give for the time the un
common title of Smith, became enamored
of one of the fairest daughters of that
city of beauties. She was an ornament
of one of the highest circles possessed
of wealth as well as hcauty, and hence
was an object of devotion to many un
married young men. Smith, howeyer,
soon obtained the highest place in her
affections, and they were engaged to be
married. 13ut before the happy event
particularly from way Down East, and
that months must elapse ere the journey
out and back can be made. Some of
our readers may positively know that

Both parties had the "tin" and could af
ford to do it.
Meantime, poor Smith is on his way
home having" made a capital venture in
the land where "they hang people-" He
! is ignorant of the change that has taken
place in the affections of his betrothed,
and his heart beats happily as he nears
his native home. He arrives on the very
evening on which the nuptials of the in
consistent mistress are to take place.
13oth bride and bridegroom are already
attired in their wedding good clothes.
The bride is at her father's house the
groom at his own. The ceremony is to
take j)lace within an hour. Smith the
deluded, rushes to clasp his sweetheart
to -his breast, and kiss from her clferry
lips the chidings for his long absence
He enters the house. The inconsistent
beholds him. She shrieks. Smith is
astounded, for he thinks all thafc .white
satin and all that bridal robe, and all
those white kids, and so forth, mean
something. She is fully attired, as a
bride but where is to be the bridegroom
It could not be he, for she certainly could
not have been made aware of his return.
And explanation must be made.
"Julietta," cried Smith, "what is the
meaning of all this ?"
Julietta hears agitation will not per
mit her to reply. She gazes already up
on the features of her older the flood
gates of her heart like the locks on the
Delaware, and llaritan canals aro being
opened, and the waters of her new love
are rapidly rushing like a torrent in.
Her showy bosom heaves with emotion,
her breathing becomcB rapid and spas
modic". She thinks of a moment of Hay
nes, then of her happy days with Smith.
Smith, wag her first love he had a pre
emption right to a settlement on her af
fections, and had power to kick out all
intruders. The lovely creature fell al
most fainting into the arms of Smith, and
exclaiming.

more.
The whole affair was explained in a
moment. She was attired in her nuptials
and why should she not wed ? A car
riage was at the door, and into it Smith,
his inamorata, and two friends, intered.
The'liritish province that night con
tained two of the happiest married mor
tals in the world.
Let him who has been placed in a
similar predicament, wicture the despair
of Haynes on learning how he had been
tricked. He did not cammit suicide, but
became a lecturer on the new liquor
law of his own State. 1Iay he, like, the
happy couple, do good to his country?

and coming from a man whose liberality

Why don't you Cry yon Fool.
' The trial at Salisbury Assizes, lately,
of an unlucky wight, who had been help-
ing himself to his neighbor's goods gave,
rise to a piece of ingenuity on the part :
of a well known lawyer, which to us,
whp chanced to witness it, was somewhat
amusing. The prisoner bad been de-
fended by counsel, and every thing that
could be said on his behalf had been said
but the case against him was too palpa
blo to admit of a shadow of doubt, and
a verdict of guilty was .pronounced.
The iudcre seemed to look upon the
culprit, who was a rough-looking fellow, I
destitute alike of friends and character, 1
with some, degree of pity, and previous
to passing the sentence of the law upon
him, commenced giving him a few words
of advice. Tbe benevolence of his lord-
ship's tone was not thrown away upon
the lawyer, who seemed to feel th at as
long as there was a chance of helping
his client hfe was bound to do his utmost,
UnobservecT therefore he whipt behind
the dock, and putting his hands to the
sides of his mouth, whispered to tne pris
oner as loud as prudence would permit
"Why dou't you ory you fool! Be quick
you'll save a month at least!"
The culprit, who before this was stand
ing as unmoved as a statue, immediately
took the hint' rubbed his eyes with his
knuckles, and for a moment seemed over
come by a sense of the degraded situation
in which he stood. The dodge answered
much lighter sentence than I should oth
erwise do, which is, that you be impris-
oncd in the House ot correction, m tuis

informed, is a most hardened rascal.

A Tale of two Dogs.
The following, which we cut from
late English paper, is one of the best dog
stories we have seen for some time :
"A gentleman, residentin Lincolnshire,
was lately on a journey about eighty or
ninety miles from home, and left a favor
ite little dog at a hotel, while he visited
another town in the neighborhood. On
his return, the landlady, in dismay told
him his dog had been attaeked by a large
dog of her own, and had ran away from
her house. He left, but returned again
to the same hotel after the lapse of a few
weeks ; when the landlady informed him
that his. little dog had returned in the
meantime, accompanied by a large dogf
which had attacked her own dog so fierce
ly that he had nearly killed him. From
'the description civenjf the animal, the

To Make Excellent Coffee.
Although there are but few who are
not accustomed to the use of coffee as a
beverage, and who acquire by habit a
peculiar fondness for it, still but very
few, comparatively, partake of the articler
in its true flavor and richness. In order
to do this," procure the best coffee in
market, wash it clean, and roast it, but
not to blackness. A rich brown or bronze .
bladders or varnished muslin, to render
them air-tight. Take from these vessels
sufficient coffee for one making only at a
time, grind it, in a fine muslin bag, sus
pend it about midway in the pot, turn on
the boiling water, and put on the corer
to prevent the escape of steam. The re
salt of this will be a very strong decoction,
whieh should be reduceu by the addition
of boiling hot milk, constituting a most
delicious beverage, very different, indeed,
from that which is produced by boiling
the ground coffee in Tvater. The above
process may at first appearto troublesome,
but we very much 'doubt, if our lady rea
ders will once make tho experiment for
themselves, whether they will ever return
to the old method of boiling the dregs to
produce good coffee rfotght LoamciKa
