Languid and dying a weak daughter lay Watching the gleam of each crimson crowned ray, That tinted the clouds with a radiant crest, As the sun sank peacefully down in the west, And the stars came forth with their lovely light, And the fair day reposed on the bosom of night, ENTERING THE JORDAN. Then the child looked up with a peaceful smile, " Mother," sho whispered, she wept the while, " Take the last faint gleam of tho lingering day, The child ere the morn will have passed away," Then a tear-drop gleamed in her dark blue eye, - For she knew that her beautiful child must die. . Father, are there flowers in Heaven 7 There are, there are, my beautiful child, Not all the loveliness pure and wild Of the blossoms of carth so dewy and fair, May vie with a leafof the flowers that are there, Here theyvare fragile and wither away, There they are fadeless and never decay. . OVER JORDAN. Then the child's face lit with radiant light, And the mother watched through the long, long night, Till the wild bird caroled his song of joy, And the sun looked in on that beautiful girl, But an endless morn to the child was given, She had gone to dwell with the flowers of heaven, A.D. W, Port Perry. Tee te Wee -- Written for the Observer, The Two Lovers; OR, SHE THINKS HE'S FALSE She sits beside the window sill, And watching longs his form to see a But ah! he was a truant bird, As ever roamed the valleys free, The shades of night were gathering round, And darkness hid the landscape fair ; The rain dropped on the window pane, - She looked again in sad despair. Ah me she said twas ever thus", He promises but to disdain ; The night is dark, no st ars are out, He will not come down in this rain, A geod excuse I know he'll say, H's told mo that so of t before; He promises And s: so faithfully, 5 he'll love me ever more, A good excuse I know he'll say, He'll tell when we meet again, The rain w as pouring fearfully IT could not get down in the rain, He tells me I'm his " his darling givl," The only one he ever loved. And now he leaves me all alone, Without a lope save one above, BUT STILL HE'S TRCE. He wanders up and down the room, With hasty step and throbbing brain ; He sighs with every gust of wind, And says alas | but for this rain, He longs to clasp her in his arms, And tell her that he'll ere be true; With her in fortunes waning light, Or in the Rainbows Lrightest hue, He looks without, the night is dark, The Reayens are canopicd in black ; The water rushes foaming past, The rain came down click clack, click clack. He turns and sighs in sad dispar; And thinks upon the promise Lroke ; And then upon a restless couch, He laid his head till he awoke, He woke and rising from his bed, Beheld the landscape clad in snow , The rain had ceased, that awful rain, That laid his © happy" hopes so low. JIM NICK. Udora, March 7th 1784. esi A near-sighted hen that ate saw- dust supposing it to to be cornmeal then went and laid a nest full of bereau knoks, set on them three weeks, and hatched out a complete set of parlor furniture, and was a pretty fair hen. The woman who said the latest thing out was answered by her neighbor who remarked that hus- bands always came home ear'y.be- fore any one was up. "Do you beleive, sir that the dead walk after death ?"" No doubt of it, madam' I have heard the ¢ Dead March." An engine company in Troy re- cently started the idea of giving a silver tea set to every member of the company who married. So many marriages immediatly follow- ed that the funds ran out, aud the coustom is discontinued. A schoolmaster asked one of his boys, on a sharp, wintry morning, what was the Latin for cold. The boy hesitated a little. "What?" said the teacher, " cannot you tell ?' "Yes, yes," replied the boy; «I have itat my finger ends." A Prairie du Chieu ball, given in honor of a wedding began at ten o'clock one morning and: lasted un-- til the next daylight. = When it closed the bride was druuk, and the husband had been taken to jail for beating one of the guests, ER TE ~ A travler says there is the same difference between a Frenchman and an Italian as thero is between the melons of their respective coun- tries. "In France, buy them with- out fear on the spot--they are all passable: in Italy you may open twenty that are good for nothing but the twenty-first will be devine." The travelers' book in an inn in Switzerland contains the following epigram :-- THE TWO TRAVELLERS. I've lost my portmanteau ! "I pity your grief." All my sermons wero in it | "I pity the thief." A Cornor's jury empanelled to ascertain the cause of the death of a notorious drunkard, brought in a verdict of "Death by hanging-- around a tavern." In Calitornia, a coroner's jury, under similar cir- cumstinces, rendered amore cour- teous terdict--- Accidential death while unpacking a glass." A crossing sweeper was trying to get a gratuity from an excessivly dandified individual, who in reisting urged that he had no change, no- thing but a twenty dollar bill. «1 can get it changed for yer," said the youngster. On secing the dandy hesitate as if from fear of trusting him with a twenty dollar bill, he put it again 'If yer doubts my honor hold my broom." A careless barber, trimming Sheridan's ears, put him in great pain. 'Are you at my left car now?' asked the wit. 'No, not till T have done with the right one.' ,¢ Oh, on- ly I thought you were passing through to the left without going round," answered Sheridan. When an enthusiastic editor de- scribes a bride as bonny, and an en- vious compositor sets her up as bony as was done at Jacksonville the oth- er day, hope for a reason bids the world farewell, and freedom shrinks as the compositor falls at his form, brained by the brother of the bloom: ing bride. A vat trap with a mirror set in | tha hacle part is one of the latest de- eos of inventive genius. The rat fopics tho bait, but at the same time sees, or thinks he sces, another rat about to seize it. This creates con fidence, which is the soul of busi- ness, 80 we are told, and like in oth- er larger business concerns, confi- dence being created, the trap is evtered, and it snaps up the vie- tim. b Bap SELL. --A young gentleman in the retail on Ridean street, was the subject of eonsidera-- ble amusement at 'the Post this morning, It appears he had daily been expecting a remittance by mail for the past two weeks, and another youth in the crystal basiness taking advantace of his expectations mailed a pretty hard valentine to him, taking the necessary precan- tion to register it. On seeing the usual red ticket in his box, his heart leaps with joy, and on his way to sign for the supposed long looked for remittanee he promised to treat. His mortification was most severe when he discovered the sell, but a number of Lis acquaintance enjoyed the joke immensely. businsss A doctor always treated his juven- "whatever might happen to be their symptoms. One day, being called to a boy who was suffering severly, he felt the pulse, and, looking at the mother, with a solemn shake of the head he said. "Worms, madam !' worms !" "Now, Doctor" said the: mother, "it isn't worms at all I tell ye: that boy fell down on the wood-pile and broke his leg and I want you to stop crying " worms" and set it immed- iatly." "Ah! said the Doctor de- termined not to be put down, 'Worms in the wood, madam! worms in the wood. A sailor dropped out of the rigging of a ship ot war some fifteen or twenty feet and fell plump on the head of the first lieatenant.-- "Wretch!" said the officer, after he had gathered himself up.-- "Where the dence did you come from?" "An' sure I came from: the North of Irland yer honor." ile patients for " worms Office c If there be ono phase "of 'vicions legislation more to be cotidéfaned than another it is that doubld" dis: ulled corruption which for bir leg: islates for thie continuance of a base monopoly. The Sewing Machine manufacturers of the United' States have long held an undisputed" mon< opoly for the manufacture andsale of these invaluable helpmates t& our industrious scamsters and ~ seams stresses and wken the sting out of that eternal stitch, stitch which pressed so Leavily on many a weak- ly frame. That due protection should be given to parties whose su- perior skill and long continued toil havednvented or discovered a means of benefiting mankind. by adding to their comfort or easing their toil.-- But this protection should have its bounds and should not be made the meane of creating the very thing for which we seek to reward parties re- ceiving the monopoly. The Sewing Machine men have been already re- warded ten fold for all they have ever done in the matter of inventing and now the monopoly presses hieavily on hundreds of poor women who cannot afford to buy a machine at their present high rate but who could well afford to buy one if the modopoly were done away with.-- Such machines as now sell for $70 cost about $12 to the manufacturer, the rest is all clear profit. The time of the patents have expired and been renewed and again the time #s about up and it is said that the monopo- lists haye a million and a half dol- lars ready to buy up members: of Congress and secure un extension of the frand by which they have all Let the machines bo secured immense fortunes. manufacture of these thrown open to the world and better machines will be bought for one fifuh of the money which is now paid for them and the poorest families will be able to get one. ------------ A: Fair Way of Legislating on the License By-law. The Free Press suggests, and we think wisely, an entire change iu the system of -granting Licenses. -- In place of granting I.iceases fo Ho- tel and Shop-keepers let licenses Lo ited to the consumers only. Let :h one desivons of indulging pur chase a license and let Tiquor be sold only to those holding such license Let there be a fine of 850 for selling to any one without a license to buy, and a like fine on any one who al- lows another to use Lis License. By that means the Revenue would be largely increased and our rulers would no longer require to ace th double game of first licensing men to sell and then hunt and hound them over all cr ion by an organized army of spies, detectives and 'np formers with a view todrivig them into some trap set for them.
