The cutter seat not wide,

T'o her fond lover's side.
The horse was spirited and jumped
With frequent tugs and strains,
Until she innocently said:
“Do let me hold the reins!”
They're married now, perhaps because
She was so helpful then.
She loves him well, and he loves her—
Well, in the way of men;
And yet in all their sweet delight
One sad thought makes him wince,
She held the reins that winter's night,
She held them ever since.

For 1819 the paper is slightly enlarged
and contains a greater variety of reading
matter and some editorial comment. ‘Ed-

trouble with the Whig’s ‘‘devil,” as we
may infer from this ‘‘notice:” .

a fine sense of humor appears from the
Whig for October 14, 1819. Here isa
choice extract from a leader on the first
page: . ,
What do you quarrel so much about religion
for?
‘“‘As though Christianity had cateh’d,”
What is’t? ‘‘on purpose to be scratch’d?”
There is a Halloo-Ballon about Universalism
and Calvinism, and Trinitarianism, and Uni-
tarianism and every other Ism, that it's enough
to give any man the Rheumatism, and Skepti-
cism. and Cochranism, and every bad Ism that
can be conceived of. Better go to work, soberly,
righteously and piously and work out your salva-
tion with fear aud trembling. This is no laugh-
ing matter.
And here is another:
And how ist with ye about paying your print-
er's bills? Now if a paper is worth taking, it's
worth paying for; and if it is not worth taking.
the best way is to drop it and let the printer go
about other business; Isn't Uncle Sam right
here? He! he! he! Pay up your arrearages and
a little in advance and that will put the writers,
and journeymen, and apprentices all in good
humor, and they’ll make you laugh as much in
one week as will be worth a whole year’s sub-
scription. Hah! hah! hah!—Goodbye to ye.
Hah! he! he!
