EE BEl'ARY 27. 1639. \ meeting of friends to the JSiik Culture was lately held in Philadelphia, which was attended by a number of persons from the city and adioininer counties. Anions their rcso'utions was one recommending a state convention to meet on the 2"2J Feb. in Harrisburg, and another recommending to the public the Silk Journal established by the National Convention and conducted by J. S\ Skinner, Post Master, at Baltimore. Some of the letter writers at Washing-ton tatc that the President expects to travel through the Carolinas & Georgia, and thence to the "Hermitage" in Tennessee, this spring. The Mobile branch of the Alabama bank owes the government Sd.OOO.OOO, on deposite at the time it suspended. This, together with the loss of the Packets in the British trade and .their cargoes, of which some account will be found in another column, is the reason assigned by the friends of the administration in Congress for authorizing the emission of more treasury notes. "Congress." ~ SENATE. An able debate is in progress in the Senate on the till of Mr. Ciittenden to prevent the interference of Federal officers in elections, and an adverse report from a committee to whom the subject had been refe ed. A bid providing for the armed occupation of Florida has passed its third : eading. A bill to provide for tnesafekeepii g the public revenue has also passed its third reading. A substitute moved by Mr. Rives providing for ? ccial depo-ites in banks was lost 15 to27. House of Representatives. Feb. 13.?A bill to suppress gambling and the bill to prohibit dueling, in the District of Columbia buth passed. The latter by a vote of 110 to 21. It had formerly passed the House.

The same subject was again debated , after which the greater part of the day , was spent in discussing the general oppropria-t t;on bill. Owing to the failure of our | Washington papers we have no account Irom the 17th to! the 18th. On the latter day a bill passed 102 ! to sg, authorizing tnc secretary of the: Treasury to emit Treasury notes to the amount' of 10,000,1'OO. SILK CULTURE. We lately copied from the Charleston!

We've all wooed maids by the dozen, | Tom. But a widow's a different thing; And when we would sing of a maid Tom ? JSome muse, her lyre will string But a strain like this, they wont aid Tom, For a widow's a different thing, i i Yet tiicrc arc widows with swimming i 1 eyes, Such as the Houries might crave, Whose slightest sparkling glance belies j Their stories of " love and the grave." | And they've such forms and faces, Tom, 1 nd they look such looks of love, ' That you'd fancy some of them graces,) Tom, Strayed from their homes above. And then, if you happen to v\ alk with her Tom, And gaze on her love-beaming features, j You'll swear many things, as you talk j to her, Tom, Of "Dan Cupid" and like siily crea- j tures, You forget that she has "little loves" of her own, Whom she keeps at home, hidden from you, I.ost they being seen, her age would be shown, j And love bid the widow adieu. ] t ... I once knew a widow that sung, Tom, And her name may be nameless now, But the sound of those songs is still young Torn, Though -we are no longer so. 'Tis folly to dream of a bower of green, W|,on n-ctt a. Loaf rui tllA trfP. But 'twill walking and singing, that widow ha9 been (God forgive her !) the rum of me. i And we no .v know a widow who's old Tom, Though alio was not always so. And if we believe all we're told, Tom, She's had many a "scattering beau." But they say 'twas for gold and cotton, Tom, That these'lovers had deigned to woo, While her golden locks were forgotten, And her golden countenance too. i I And once I courted this beauty, Tom, But, (thank heaven) she answered j "nay" .And I've ever since thought it ray duty-, Tom, To treasure this "nay" away. Because when I think of this widow's smiles, It tells mc, that loving's no jest ; And if I am proof 'gainst a widows wiles I'm sure to be safe from the rest. I | I thought that I loved as a bold lover should That is, sent averse and a ring, But alas! she declared I might write, if j I would, But she'd marry no "poor, rhyming, thing." And once on a time, I kissed her, Tom, ! (But let this be a secret between us,) | And as my lips were soon in a blister, I voted her no kissing genus. j And now I care nought for societv, O ' Tom, And lead a most anchorite life, For I've loved myself into sobriety, Tom, And out of the wish for a wife.
