The world are coining money, and are too busy to notice or alleviate the sorrows by which they are surrounded. A widow 1 tmely she halh seen both the bright and the dark spot of life?the hapmees of requited lovo and tho bit terneee of early bereavement. How little thought 'she, but a few short months back, when ho stood by her * side, proud of her lovely form dressed . v out in bridal robes, that ere the clematis should climb over the door-way ot '; the porch, or the morning glories, now death and withered, should bloom aS.in, that his form be laid away trora e sight of all, within tho cold bosom of that earth upon which he then tcod in the vigor of growing years; and that she?the do^e tliat nestled closo upon 1 !- 1 ~ ? uis urease?suoniu be lctt lonely ana desolate, a widow. Ah, it was a sad blow for the slender one, when he on whom her heart doated, land whom she loved with an ardent affection, unchangeable, undying,?a sad blow when he was taken lieyond the reach of her embrace, and she should be permitted to press no more her lips to his till, in "that better world," she should be re-united to him who was her earthly love, but who should be her spiritual comfort wneu time should be to hor and him no more, 'llie samo lovely being she is since his death, but the smile she was wont to wear has "grown more sedate, though not the less pleas ing. Though young in years, yet she is not gay or giddy ; far from that.? While others find pleasure in the wild sports of youth, sho loves to sit by the open window, where they frcosat to gcthcr upon tlio eve of theft marriage, listening to the murmur of the brook that rippled past their humble cottage, while their hearts spok' in low tones one to the other, as they thought of the future ; but td her, what ft future is left. A dreary waste this life below, unless the kindred heart be with lis 011 our journey onward ; but when that lie-art be removed, how vacant, lonely 6eems the one that's left behind. God bless tho widow ! IIakuy Ff.rn. Three Bovs at a Birth. " ?r The Albany Argus tells the following tale of an emigrant on the pier in that city : A widowed lady, of English extraction, inconsolable with the loss of her husband, determined to leave the home of her childhood, the scenes of her earthly bliss and sorrows, and seek a home in this "much lauded land."? She arrived in this city on Monday niorniDg. On the passage up the river she was taken violently nl, and so continued until the boat arrived at the *warf. Then al' was bustle and confusion, among the emigrants us among all others, both on the boat and docks.? The emigrants?live freight?and their luggage were specdly hurried off and away to the Central depot. Not so with the pour wick widow. In the . confusion she had been forgotton, but anxious to continue her journey with llAF nan U'n onv ?she managed to walk oft' the boat to the waif, bnt the exertion quite exhausted her physical means, and 6he sank prostrate to the dock?Several stevedores seeing her incapacity to walk, and her evident prostration with 1>ain, procured gome matting and laid ier down beside a huge pile of freight. Having done this charitable act they resumed their labors?The female was not thought of until an hour later, when to the surprise of one whosought [ her to enauire if she felt any better, he found that in the interim three boys were born into this "breathing, living' world." The friendless emigrant was no longer overlooked ; sho had found friends, for an apartment at a hotel hard by was soon assigned her, and thither she was conducted with her "little family." The mother and the "triplets" are doing as well as could be expected. .&SML Vfc?- "V/tn Iff 11 of vJSffo?vn<rr ?? &***" " * VU AUUOV W jr t Such was the expression of a gentle-1 mop made to a friend at liis residence,' while both were gazing upon a broad ^Moniain, the possession of the person Addressed.

"Lots at'Slret Sight." As a very interesting young lady was passing aown Main street yesterday morning, she was somewhat startled upon hearing some one behind her in earnest entreaty that she would stop; looking around she beheld a man ap{mrently well dressed, but with a wifd ook, rapidly approaching her. With admirable coolness, the lady waited his approaching, and upon his resting his hand upon her shoulder, said: "Well, sir can I do anything for you V' Yes madam, you can, replied the maniac. "I ain search of a partner and a bosom friend." Woll," answered the lady, "almost any one who behaves himself in a proper manner, could, I should think, easily find one." "Do you think so," was the rejoinder ; "then madam," laying his liana impressively upon his breast, "allow me to make you a formal offer of my heart and hand." The lady, not at all taken by so astounding a declaration, quietly re J'UVU) uiuv UIU OUTOb WHS Jlitruiy u proper piace for so important a declaration?that a more private one would be better suited for so delicate a communication." Tiio maniac, soothed and delighted, with visions perhaps, of a cosey tet-a-tete with his fair interlocutor at some future time, said,"I thank you for your good advice ; good morningand departed with agraceful bow?leaving the voun^ lady to pursue her walk without luther molestation.?Buffalo Adocatc. Decently Interred. A PEK80N of inferior degree recently died in liochester. lie liad a trifle over $100 in the Savings Bank. Ilis wife directed that this should be withdrawn when he died, in order to secure to him a "decent burial." The money was taken out, and $^1.02 were expended upon the ' wake " and the funeral. The Democrat gives the following "bill of items" for the expenses of the wake: Mr. Jan. 15, 1S55. To Dr. To 5 gals'. whiskey, $ 1 88 4 gals, dark brandy, $3, 12 00 1 gal. wine, . 2 00 4 R). tea, 33 5 lbs. crackers, 40 10 lbs. cheese, 1 25 3 lbs tobacco, 48 6 doz. pipes, * 24 4 Hjs. sperm candles, 1 50 Total, $20 68 The expenses at the cemetery, including the priest's charge of $1, were $20.25. Mass at the church, undertaker's fees, &c., reached $20 more. An Irishman died, in Albany, not long ago, who had deposited over $500 in the Savings Bank, although he lived in great apparent indigence. No sooner was he dead, than a grand 1 wake ' and burial was decided upon, and it cost his family over $120 to get his body into the ground. The liquor drunk at the wake cost $42, and there was a charge tor four "sympathizers," who were hired to make many lamentations for the departed?to wail and howl over his dead body. The coflin, the carriages, and the masses amounted to a round sum. And so Pat was "decently buried." If they Don't Ron, Kiss 'Em.?At 15oulogne. during the reception of her Majesty Queen Victoria, a number of English ladies, in their anxiety to see everything, pressed with such force against the soldiers who were keeping the lino,that the latter were, in someinstances, obliged to give way, and generally were, to nse the expression of our policemen, "impeded in the execution of their duty." The officer in command, seeing the state of affairs, shouted out: "One roll of the drum, then, they don't keep back, kiss them all." "At the first sound of the parchment, the English- ladies took to flight. "If thoy had been French," 6ays a Parisan journalist, "they m ould have remained to a woman." Trk Gravk of Madison.? A corresfiondent of the Fredericksburg News, n Culpeper country, gives a inelan cholv picture of the last resting-place of the illustrious Madison. He lies with his family in a grave-yard a short distance from his house, upon his estate at Montoclier : the familv ?>mptoi-v ia surrounded by a brick wall, and the Sato is entirely down. Tho corresponent says that not a stone marks the great man's reasting-place; dark running green box wraps it with verdure, ana the tracery of branches fr#m an old leafless chesnut troe, rolieving^itself against the warm azure sky, nod and wave over the dark mountain?'tis a solemn, calm, and peaceful spot.
