"* ' v I I I ' I HKbECTKP WETRY. t An old rriftid of our acquaintance, just tUty tArr* yianoid, has of late come to tbe conclusion that the will never marry, and ends us tbe following lines with an endorsement?" tbetn> injr sentiments." Go it, old lady, we admire your spirit. [Edgefield Advertiser. I mean to lire a singlo life, And live ec till 1 die; 111 never bo a husband's wife? I'll tell you the reason why : The men are a deceitful set? gt They'll talk as fair as day : Hut when they've caught you in their net, .They'll turn auother way. O horrid ! horrid ! only think, While wives are cooking victuals, To see a carcass filled with drink? The floor with 'bacco spittles ! Then how disgusting is the noiso Of fretful husband bawling: How little peace a wife enjoys. With lots of children squalling. O no: I'll never married be, While stars are in the sky : A single life's the life for me? A maid I'll live and die. ""miscellaneous" Variety. A medical gentleman defines winking to be an 44 affection of the eye!" Why are there three objections to taking a glaes ot brandy ? Kaze there are three scruples to a dram. Gluttony.?A groat many human beings dig their graves with their teeth?they over-eat. Sound Maxims.?A kiss is worth a thousand kicks. A kind word is more valuable to the lost, than a mine of gold. Gallant.?The Cincinnati city fathers are widening the street crossings so as to accommodate the crinolines. The Last Conundrum.?Why is a peg in a new boot like a pang of conscience ? Because it is apt to pierce the sole. Nbver marry until you can face the music ot the butcher, grocer, dressmaker, twenty-three cousins, and several babies. The botauists tells us that there is ( no such thing in nature as a black flower. We suppose they never heard of the 44 coal black Rose." An Irish 6ailor once visited a city, i where, he said, they copper-bottomed c tne tops of their houses with sheet- P lead. A lawyer asked a Dutchman in ^ court, what ear-marks a pig had that t was in dispute. "Veil, he has no ear- JJ marks, except a very short tail." ? Whenever you see a man of wealth t turn out of his way to avoid meeting i a poor acquaiutance, it is a sign he has ( nothing but wealth to recommend him. 1 At a spiritual meeting, a short time since, Balaam was called up and sisked f if there were any jackasses in his sphcro? No! replied he, indignantly, ^ they are all ou the earth. A person pretending to have seen a ghost, was ashed what the apparition { said to him. "IIow should I know?" he replied, " I am not skilled in the 1 dead languages!" A fellow just returned from a fight, in which he came off second be6t, wa6 asked what made him look so sheepish. " Because," said he, " I've been 1 and got lamrnd." Whenever you meet a man or woman who is ashamed to be caught at any respectablo employment, it is a / sign there is a very tender spot some- I where about the brain. j Whenever you 6ee a lady appear very devout in church, who is decked out in laces, feathers, flowers and flounces, it is a sign she thinks more of dress, than she does of prayer. Whenever you see a couple sit at the table of a hotel, and try to attract attention by finding fault with every dish that is brought them, it is a sign they dine on cod-nsb and salt and beet t at home. Whenever yon see a young man ashamod of bis old fashioned father t and mother, who have reared and ed- * ucated him to the very best of their ,1 abilities, it is a sign they waisted theii i money on him. Nothing was so much dreaded in our school days as to be punished by sitting between two girls. Ah, the force of education. In after years we learned to submit to such indignities without shedding a tear. A Rich Puff.?A manufacturer and ] vender of quack medicines recently wrote to a friend of his, living out West, for 44 a good strong" recoinmendatiou of his (tho manufacturer's,) ^Balsam." Irs tew days lie receiv ed the following, which we call prettv 44 strong :n Dear Sir: The land composing \ my farm has hitherto beon so poor that < i Scotchman could not get a living ott vf jknfi M> *touv that we kitd to slice >ir potatoes and plant them edgeways, t>ut bearing of your balsam, I put some >n the ooruer of a ten acre lot snr onndcd by a rail fence, and in the norning I found the rook had entirely lisappeared, a neat stone wall encircled the field, and the rails were split uto even wood, and piled up symmetrically in mv back yard. I put half an ounce into the mid:lle rf a huckleberry swamp, and in two Jays it was cleared off, planted with corn and pumpkins and a row of pea h trees in full blossom through the middle. As an evidence of its tremendona strength, I would say that it drew a striking likeness of my oldest daugter, Irew my eldest son out of a mill-pond, Irew a blister all over his stomach? Jrew a load of potatoes four miles to market, and eventually drew a prize jf ninety seven dollars in the lottery. A Discovkuy.?Sauntering out into the woods the other day, for the purpose of recreation, we suddenly hove in sight of a pair of tow headed, matchbox looking urchins, oue sitting in the fork of a sapling, tho other chasing iizzards some hundred yards distant. Hiding ourself to watch their maneuvers, presently the one on terra firma bounded upon a stump like a tomtit and jerking off his hat "opened" in this style : "Saj', Jim! run here, quicker'n saltpepper, borax and cream-or-taters!" "Well, yes, what is it?" yelled the sapling frog, at the same time hitting the earth co-whop. " Here's a red headed scorpion (wollerin a trog fail foremost, and a faller lizzard eatin rocker-coaches faser'n sleet, and a snackblake rootin' a rrole in the hound with his hind feet, ind tud-murkle chawin padtoles right ind left and?oh, lordy 1 oo-pe! dog on ,t, run here!" It is said that powder on a lady's 'ace has the same effect as in the pan >f a musket?assists her to go off. ?????m SPRING GOODS.
