Darby and Joan.
The annexed fable, although perhaps not new
to every reader, pdesessda a great deal of merit,
and will richly reward all who read it fur the few
seconds they exhaust in attending to its detail and
moral. It teaches an admirable lessor., and one
that may be diligently and profitsbly studied.
The story of Darby and Joan is as old as the
poles; but, we do not know to whom we are in
debted for its funniest versification.
Whos Darby saw the setting sun,
lie swung his scythe, and home he run;
Sat down, drank off his pint, and said...
"My work is done, I'll go to bed."
".[y work is done !" retorted Joan
"'My work is done!' your constant tone ;
Put hapless woman ne'er can say
'My work is done,' till judgment. day."
Here Darby hemmed and scratched his head,
'T+ answer what his Joan had said;
Bat all in vain, her clack wont on
"Yes, woman's work is never done!
You men en sleep all night, but we
Must toil." "Whose fault. is that?" queth he.
" I know your weaning," Joan replied.
It";, Si:, mjy tungue shall not he tied ;
I will g> on and let you kuow,
What work poor women h.&'e to do."
" First in the muorning, though we feel
. e:l as drunkapis .wl:cn'thcy real,- -
.Ys reel such pain-s i'n back and beed
As would confine you n a to bed ;
. We ply the Lrush, and wield the broom;
We air the beds, and right the room.
The cows must next be milked!, and then
We get the breakfast fur the ':es;
dare this is o'er, with wiamp'ring cries
And bristly hair, the children rise;
They taust be dressel an't .losed with rue,
and fed, ani all because of you.
We mqust"-here Darby scratched his hea-!,
And feast retreated to his bed :
lut rutnlaled this as on he run,
" Zaunds! woman's elack is never dane!"
At early iawn, are l'hbuu rare,
Old Juan resumed her tale of woes,
When la:arly thus: "I'll end the strife,
JIe you the mean. aid I t!.e wife
Tahe you the eytbe, and mow, while I
V. ill all your boasting cares supply."
"Content," qtuoth Joan, "give me my faint,"
Iis liarly did, and out she went.
Old. Darby rose anal seized the brooen,

The clown, perplexed with grief and painl
Swore he'd ne'er try to milk again ;
When turning round in sad :smaze,

For as he chaurz:d to brush the roo:u
In cureless haste, he !fred the broom;

How the Richest Main in New York
Spends his Time.
A correspondent of' the Rochmeater Demo
crat sketches the richest moan in N :w York in
this manner :

le collects rents and makes quarterly re
turns, and thus pays a sum which would be
almost incredible, and which we may rough

tip repairs, and superintends te whole of this,

property consirts of vacant lots which are in
continual demand, and which he will not sell.

This is a very serious burden. His son John J
Jacob is quite a business man, and bears his
share of the load. Besides this, some fifteen
years ago a talented and elegant young muer

iaughters, and also afiords assistance.
In addition to these labors, the attention t

As we look for no relaxation of the block

Ian
r:e ask the attention of the Government to t
he important subject of clothing the soldiers

a the c'o'untry, and a large crop of flax will,
his indispezsa' le article ? The coarse yarn
norn by nachinery is scarce and very costly; p
nd. though we see the Cotton burned in the
^e of the invader, raw cotton cannot be ob
suined in many portiu:s of ths interior at any
prlee.

and assign to them as many skilled artirans, .l

Fn the meantime the Government should -r:
purchase arnd distribute, at low pricc's, qjuan-:
tities of' raw cotton, and if possible wool, so
;.i to employ the lndtislrious pIoor, who have
the will to work, wimtot the mearns to work. .g
These measures will cause domestic manufac

This plan, with the mranufaotutre and dis

not be so good as we would wish, they will he

We are aware that the Confederate Got

The Late Fight at' Secessionville.

dvancing with the bayonet, at duublc-quick, j

tad been hard at work the evening before,
i throwing up another battery, and were al

acrity to their pieces, and were soon pour

ill they caime on without firing a single vol
