THE YOUNG WIDOW. She is Modest, but not bashful, Free and easy, lIt not bold: Like an ipple. ripe and khellow, Not tdbo young and nt too old; Half invinng, half repulMve, Now adranciug, and how shy There is mischief id her dimple, There is danger -i her eye. She has studied human nature; She is sclioled in all her arts; She has taken her diploma As the mistiesa of all hearts, She can tell the very moment When to sigh tnd when to smile; Oh,a maid is .onietimnes charming, But a widow all the while, Are yeh sad4. How very serious Will her handsome face become! Are you angiry? She is wretched, Lonely, friendless tearful, dumb! Are you niirthful? How her laugh ter Silver sounding, will. ring out I Sl81 can lure and catch and pl1y you, ýA the abgler does the trout. te iod baohelors of forty, Who have grown so bold on wine, Ydnnj Americans of twenty, With thElove-looks in your ey'es, You may practiceall the lessons Taught by Cupid since the fall; $d'.

Tell me your disease ; I can cure it, what. ever it is.' 'I have a swelling on the under side of my foot,' replied the horse. 'Let me examine,' saithe wolf, &haking ready for a snap. Suddenlf the wary horse let fly his heels a'd threw the iold high in the air. 'Ah,' he howled, as he limped away, 'this serves .ne right t I should not have quitted my fiade.
