Bridget, mavourneen, joost open the And give me a glimpse av your beautiful face: My s.ncient dudeen is all burnt to a cinder, And boogs are quite thick in this motherin' place. Sure, Biddy my girl, it's no joke for a ganiUs, To walk all the day 'nath a ootherin' hod. And thin, in the night, serynade a young Vani Clan +up to his knees, in the muddy ould sod. I'm dyin' wid tapture, my jewel of oratures, And niver a lovyer more willingly howled: But don't ye let scorn wrinkle up your swate fatures, Because your poor Paddy has got such a cowld The lightnfn? Is rOarin', the toonder is fSashin', The moon is nb bigger than nothin' at all: And such an outrageous murtherous splashin' s I never did hear since the days I was smalL Then open the winder, my queen av affection, Or, what is as good, plase open thm door: Nor dhrame that yon're sure of escapin' detec tion- . I know ye're atke by the length av ye're shnore A DELICATE BRDE.-Between Yreka and Jacksonville, Oregon, there was a wedding last winter, about the time of the deep snow, when Mr. Pelbam and other citizens were corralled in that cold country. The families of the respective parties to the marriage were in atten dancef and the party was rather after the old fashioned style, made up of neigh bors, their wives and babies, and any body that happened to be stopping any where within accessible destance. It was a pleasant affair; but, like all similar as semblages, it dispersed, and the bride returned to her chamber, first having whispered to the fond groom, "Don't come up for half an hour." This being - a first request, he obeyed, waited the time anxiously, nor let the hand of the ticking clock pass by a second of the limit ere he had gone to her with whom his life was joined. Rapping gently at the door of the bri -=dli chamber, and receit' no reply, he entered unbidden and saw his wife lying on the bed, arrayed in night gear of the purest white, presenting a picture of beauty, taste and loveliness beyond comn parison. One step further, a closer look, and the blood rushed back to his heart -she was dead ! Loudly calling for help, father, mother, brother, sister, bride maids, all the household rushes to the room. The mother discovered that her daughter still breathed, but horror upon horrors ! there lay the empty vial from from which the fatal draught had been * taken. Messengers were dispatched for -of her revival, symptoms looking favor able. At this juncture, some one pick ed up a piece of folded paper from a table on which was written in the delicate Be ntalarmed, dear husband. Feel ing that the occ"-on would be too much for my nerves, I have taken chloroform. "Yovn OWN WIFE." A PLEAsING IIcIDENT.-Yesterday a poor one-legged Confederate soldier, still clothed with the remnant of his worn gray jacket,.sank down exhausted on the steps of the Story building, at the corner of' Camp and Gravier streets. A Fede ral sergeant, passing at the time, looked on comnpassionately, and after passing on some distance, in order not to attract at tention, quietly returned and slipped a contribution into his hand. Delicately and unostentatiously as this was done, a handsome pair of eyes were watching, and witnessed the little tribute of charity -and kindness. All honor to the brave soldier ! Such as he can never be our en emies, and such acts, by challenging our admiration and our sympathies, do more to restore and consolidate -the olden "Union" than all the freedmen's bureaus, reconstruction committees and radical * legislation that could be crowded into a *century. When will our New. England political doctors learn that kindness is, after all, the touchstone of the Sout iern character, and that no living people more thorough ly exomplified the old and beautiful max im that "One touch of kindness makes the world akin." -N. 0. Times. SwEE'r.-A lady said to a gentleman who accompanied her and her sister from church, 'Why, it rains-send and get an umbrella. * 'Why said the beau, 'you are neither sugar nor salt, rain will not hurt you.' * 'No,' said the lady, 'but we are lasses. * -He sent for one immediately. The following copy of a written notice appears in a Western paper: "Lost, or * strade from the subscriber, a sheep all over white, one leg was black and half his body. All persons shall reseve five dol's to bring him. He was a she goat." * A gentleman, walking with two ladies, stepped on a hogshead hoop, that flew up and struck him in the face. "Good gracious!" said he, "which of you dropped that ?" And why is a jolly bachelor like the At lantic Cable ? Because he I:as made fast to the sure end (shore end). Maybe that's not so good as the other ; but Blobbs says there is more truth in it. Why is a happy husband like the At lantic Cable? B3ecause he is spliced to his Heart's Content. ~ Woman: The morning star of fnfan "FOR RENT."-The Nashville Banner of the 14th inst., says: "For Rent," in great, broad, long, slim and square letters, in ink, chalk, lamp black, charcoal and paint, and doors, blinds, boards, foolscap and cards, bedots the city in every quarter. The merry music of tumbling rents will soon fall up on the ears of happy tenants, if this state of things continues but a little longer. We wish we could see just a few such "bedottings" about Macon, to remind the landlords that they are "piling on the agony" a little too strong in the matter of rents for their own good and the good of the city. New buildings are going up by the dozen; new avenues of trade are being opened, and what, now considered, are fancy s:ands for business, will soon find a change come over the spirit of the landlord's dreams, if they persist in grinding the people with exorbitant rents. It is not in reason to suppose that the business men of Macon can af ford to pay Broadway prices for stores and dwellings. If they can, the consu mer will have to pay increased prices for every description of goods, and every pody will have to advance their rates of lapor in precisely the same ratio. What's the use, then, of such inflation? Let capitalists take heed that the bubble does not burst before they are prepared for it.-Macon (Ga.) Citizen. The remarks of our MAcon cotempo rary are equaily applicable to Augusta. High rents and gold rates are not the stepping stones to the prosperity of any community, and landlords are blind to their own interests who nct upon the presumptions that they are.
