jWy Dear Sweet lehabod : How I do
want to see your big gray eyes, and re
eline on your breast that 1 may hear your
watch tick, and be forever your’s. Oh.
horror-stricken I am at your long absence.
1 war/ s o see you and feel your heart go
pitty-patty. Oh, my sweet lehabod. now |
do come to me and let us get married if
you are not sufficiently blessed in being
sweet and lovely. Oh you marygold,
you holyhock, you tulip, you stick ol las
ses candy, you cabbage, onion, you!
every thing that’s sweet. Oh. lehabod

sweet love, how 1 do want to see. you. 1
you pink of perfection, you dew-drop. —
You have been gone this two days, and j
to me, poor me, it does seem like an him- ■
urea rears. Return quick my dove, or ,
I swow I will marry Joe Marlow, the;
Miller, that lives on the backstreet, who |
savs he can take toll enough to make me '
a lady, ami buy me a bonnet and ribbons '
whenevi r I want them ; and 1 know he
can and will, the dea" fellow. My Dear i
lehabod. your presence would to me be |
more than the cooling spring to the.
parched traveller in the desert; more |
than the green grass to the hungry ox ; j
more than the pebbled pool to the wan
ton duck ; yea, more than a lump of su
gar to a cup of father’s old apple-jack,
which you say you admire above all oth
er tmngs. Why then, will you not come
ves liras swift as lightning to kiss the
"dimpled cheeks of your mad love, and
make me Mrs. Caroline lehabod Bigby
On. bleak and wild is the house, the gar- ■
den. the woods the world, without thee. :
Oh bless thee my dumplin, my ginger- i
cake, my jewsharp, my bunch of match- j
es, me rooster, my own dear lehabod, my
all.
Forever yours, with auburn ringlets.
CAROLINE.
P. S. Tell your mother, dear soul, to
come with you, and insiston her borrow
ing a white frock body for me, as I have
a pink skirt already, that 1 may have it
for my wedding dress, and then .
Do as 1 have directed, and be quick,
do, for Joe is now trying to get me to 1
say yes, and 1 ain't so sure but what I
will. C.
A KENTUCKIAN IN BOSTON.
The Louisville Journal tells the fol
lowing good one. A few weeks ago a
well known master mechanic of this city
who was sojourning for a few days at the
Tremont House, Boston, walked into the
dining room at the summons of the bell
and seeing in the long row of chairs one
that was turned up against the table to
indicate that it was appropriated to some
particular individual, he deliberately
look it and commenced his dinner. In
about five minutes, a young dandy in
whiskers and and moustache, walked up
behind him, and remarked in a super
cilious tone :
•• Sir, you have got my plate.”
“ Have I ?” said Jim, carelessly, ‘ well
you are perfectly welcome to it,” hand
ing his empty soup-plate over iiis shoul
der.
A loud laugh ensued, and the man in
the moustache beat a very precipiitate
retreat.
Charge it as Sugar. —"Mr. Green,”
said a tolerably dressed female the other
day, entering a grocery in which were
several customers, “ have you any fresh
corned pork ?”
“ Yes, ma’m.”
“How much is this sugar a pound ?”
“One shilling, ma’m.”
“ Let me have,” she continued, lower
ing her voice, half a pint of gin, and
charge it as sugar on the book !”
Cure for a Complaining Husband.—Rose
the private secretary of Louis XIV., had
married his daughter to Mr- Rottal, pres
ident of the parliament. The husband
was constantly complaining to him of
the temper and disposition of his daugh
ter. • You are right’ said Rose, “she is
an impertinent jade, and it I hear any
more complaints of her. I will disinherit
her.” The husband made no more com
plaints of his wife.
Post Office Scene.—Have you got a
letter for my boss ?
“ Whos’e your boss ?’
“ The one that I works for.”
“ What’s his name, you idiot ?”
‘•Robert Brown, sure.”
“ Thefe’s none here for him.”
“ It ain’t for him I wants it. It’s a let
ter for myself, but I axes for him becase
his name is better known than mine.’
Extravagance in fine clothes is too of
ten a recommendation to the eye but
not to the understanding of men. Dr.
Franklin used to observe that, a “ fine
coat often covers intolerable ignorance,
but never conceals it.”
O 3 In answer to the charge that Gen.
Taylor has short legs, the Boston Mail
replies that “ there is no necessity for his
having Zozig ones, for he never runs from
the foe’
FC? 3 The Philadelphia Galaxy says an
artist of that city painted a cow and
cabbage so natural that he was obliged to
separate them before he had finished,
because the cow commenced eating the
cabbage!
(tF* Somebody wants to know if you
ever sat down to tea where skim milk
was on the table, without being asked :
“ Do you take cream sir ?”
A boy in Jamaica was driving a mule
the animal was sullen, stopped and turn
ed his arched neck round upon the boy
as if in defiance and contempt. 7

Worms.
Os all diseases to which children are exposed, none
are so fatal as worms. Unfortunately, children
are seldom free front them, and as they imitate the
symptoms sis almost every other complaint, they often
produce aliirming effects without being suspected.
Worms arc not only a cause of disease themseves, but
by their irritation aggravate all otliet diseases, wan
dering front one part of the body to another, winding
themselvfe into large balls and obstructing the bbtlHS,
and frequently the throat, causing convulsions, and too
often death. But worms are not confined exclusively
to children, for adults suffer as much and perhaps more
from the initiation of asahrides or small white thread
worms, than children, and tery frequently, too, withotit
