E'en thongh that flower should be a rosa. Ploek'? with tight band from fairy bower? Ohl better fat- the bright bouquet Of flowers of *Tsry clime and hue, By tans so charm the salad away, And fragranoe in the heart renew. I have no wirst I aow can change From grave to gay. from light to sad, And ia my freedom wide a an range? Fret for a while, and then be glad. I now eaa heed a siren's tongue, And now that eyea glance not in Tain; Make lore anaoe, and belog "nung," Oat up and try my Itaok again. I bars ae wife! and I ban dream Of girls whe're worth their weight in geld; Oaa bask my heart in love's broad beam, And daase to think it yet unsold. Or I eaa gase upon a brow WhlOh salad cad beauty both enhance; Qo to the ahrine and take thy tow, And thank the fates I have a o nance. I have ao wife, and like a wave, Can float away to cat land. Oat ap and kiss, or gently lavs, The sweetest flowers that are at hand. A pilgrim, I can bend before The shrine which heart and mind ap? prove, Or. Persian-like. I eaa adore Each star that gems the heaven of lov*. I have ao wife! la Heaven, they say. Such things ae weddings are not known; Unyoked the blieafad spirits stray O'er Adds where ear* no shade has Then why cot* have a heaven below. And 1st fair Hymen henoo be sent? It would be fleet bat as things go, Unwedded folks won't be content! Nnif Tobk, 'February a.?Repre? sentatives of the Saratoga Railroad Combination are in secret session here to-day. They resolved that the powers of the Bureau of Commissioners of | the Western Railroads be suspended, so far as relates. to freight business, until farther ordered. The bcreeoe will continue regarding passenger feres. ' Wisdom Off J. Biijlingb.?If a mast tells a lie, he is always in a great hnrry to prove it. There is more real' happiness in re fusing our wante than gratifying them. The price of being pitied is to be de? spised. Even a mole has got a head on the end ot his body. Az we get older we gro less certain of things in general. Friendships are like macny in one respect; it is easier to make them than to keep them. Ooe haff the tronble of life can be traced to not saying "no" at the right time. Men never forget the favors they be? stow npon others, and seldom remem? ber those they receive. If a man ia natural now a days, be is charged at once with being eccentric or silly. The man whom prosperity makes haughty, adversity iz sore to make a grovelling coward ov. I am violently opposed to betting, but if I do bet, I am in favor of win? ning. There iz no grate danger of too mennj getting famous there iz too mnoh jealousy among mankind for that. Fasbunoo is liko kastor ile; it is one thing to preskribe it, and it is another thing to take it. No man kan get me to keep a sekret for him. I bad rather bold a mule for tbe same length of time. Every man has a right to pik oat hiz own pbnn, hiz own hash, and biz own pbysick. W o are all of us brought up to think that manny iz tbe chief cud of man, and wbeo at last we find out our mis? take, it iz too late to rektify it. If onr Savior and the god Hercules shoold appear on earth again together, which do you suppose would buva the mcst followers? About the only difference between a philosopher and a pbool, iz that tbe philosopher oooks all the evils of life before he partakes of them; the pbool eats them raw. There seems to me just this differ? ence between honor and honesty? honor ii the chivalry ov courage; ho? nesty ie tbe bravery ov principles. A men named Todd publishes a tetriperaoee paper, and hae sued a co temporary for calling him Toddy. PUKE OAtasTUBtMlA SlAOlAIRA. Deo 18_J 0. HEEOERB.
