Weep no more my lady, Oh! weep no more to day! We will sing one song for the old Kentucky home, For my old Kentucky home, far a war. They hunt no more for the possum and the coon On the meadow, the hill and shore; They sing no moro by the glimmer of the moon, On the bench by the old cabin door.

AVhilo men and women, social arrangements and political fooler ies remain what they are, there will be no lack of good caricatures and wise satire. The " Poek jct Hook " or 1 854, is as good as the first of the feries ; perhaps better. The principle illustration is a scene from the j Australian diggings, "Topsy-Turvy, or our Anti podes." A number of rough-looking diggers are sitting carousing outside their rude huts the Antipodean "Regent street" while literary gen tlemen in spectacles and black cloth, and fashion able exquisites in variegated attire, are waiting .at the table, cleaning knives, pulling off their master's boots, &c. " Now then, you Master of Arts !" says one grim looking desjKTado who is dealing- out a pack of cards, "look sharp with that pale ale." "Hollo there," fays a brute who has thrust his head outside a tent, " You in tellectual being where the doose are my high- lows?" In the Imckgronnd a youth in a college i dress is touching his hat to diggers who are about to dismount their horses, opposite the shed of "J. Muddles, M. P., F. It. S., Light Porter, Waiter. Boots and Knives cleaned." The. other illustrations relate to facctiie in the letter press, j The following arc among the best of tho litera ry contributions: A LITTLE fllK.Tr RE APnKKSKn TO Mr PEAKS (HT AS OLD MAID OF THE WORLD.) " My dears, love is like chancery ; it is a deal easier to get into it than to get out again. There arc thousands of ways for the former, but as for the latter, it can't be done noways. ' Take my advice, my defirs never lelieve a man before marriage, and never trust him after wards. " If men, my dears, were to pay, like servants, for everything they broke, they wouldn't be so fond of breaking their hearts for every poor girl they saw. The fortune of a Rothschild couldn't stand, my dears, agulust such a ruinous amount .of breakages. Why I have known a man's heart "break as often as an American bank, and yet, he would open the next day with the same brass plate on his face, on which you could plainly read ' assurance,' and his heart would go on is suing tho same false notes as before. Besides, what becomesof all their brolon hearts, I should jike to know ? Where do they all go to ? Along -jnrh the old moous, I suppose ; or they may be .keeping company,- there's no kuowirig where, M-tch all the pins that arc lost, each heart being .stuck through with a pin, like the curious insects in a museum. ' " There's no need to. tell you, I am sure my dears, alout choosing a husband. A woman's instinct generally guides her in those little mat ters. But this I will tell you, that husbands .differ as much as geese ; but the softest mind is not always the worst. The softer your husband, the more pliable you will find him, and all the .easier for you to twist him around your little finger. If husbands trusted more to their wives and less to themselves, there would Ijc more hap py marriages ; but, until they learn what is due ,toour sex, and are fully prepared to pay it, that happy balance will r never exist in a household which, to the husband, should be th,c source of as much as a large balance is at lus bankers ; but at present the wife is not allowed to hare any share or interest in tho one, or to participate in the other. ,' "I will conclude, my dears, with giving you a few rules with regard to the choice of husbands in general, and though, my dears, I have never ventured on the stormy seas of matrimony' my- self," (here the fair lecturer's voice slightly trem bled with emotion,) " still, I have watched from the haven of single blessedness, many of the squalls and breezes that have taken place on them, and have derived no small knowledge from the numerous shipwrecks I have witnessed in consequence of them ; and this knowledge I am only too willing to impart to all those who are ! anxious to embark for the United States. " I shall confine my observations.my dears, to the small circle of my experience of men, such as I have studied them ronnd the tea-table. "If a man wipes his feet on the door-mat be fore ooming into the room, 3-ou may be sure he will make a good domestic husband. " If a man, in snuffing the candles, snuffs them out, you may be sure he will make a stupid hus band. ' ' - " If a man puts his handkerchief on his knees whilst taking tea, you may be sure he will be a prudent husband. "In the same way, always mistrust the man who will not take the last piece of toast of Sally Lunn, but prefers waiting for the next warm hatch. It is not unlikely he will make a greedy, selfish, husband, with whom you will enjoy no 'brown' at dinner, no crust at tea, no peace whatever at home. " The man, my dears, who wears goloshes, and is careful about wrapping himself up well before venturing into the night air, not unfrc quently makes a good invalid husband that most ly stops at home, and is easily comforted with slops. " The man who watches the kettle and pre vents it boiling over, will not fail, my dearg, in his married state, in exercising the same care in always keeping the pot boiling. " The man who doesn't take lea, ill-treats the cat, takes snuff, and stands with his back to the fire, is a brute whom I would not advise you, 1113' dears, to marry upon any consideration, either for love or money, but most decidedly not for love. " Rut the man who, when the tea is over, is discovered to have had none, is sure to make the best husband. Patience like his deserves being rewarded with the best of wives, and the best of mothers-in-law. My dears, when you meet with such a man, do your utmost to many him. In the severest winter he would not mind going to bed first." ' (Here the lecture concluded, and the several young ladies retired to their respective avoca tions.) THE MAHOOAXT SPEAKER.
