I Connubial Bravert.-j-As a newly married couple from the land of pLmpkins and baked beans were one night lying (in bed talking over “ matters and things, - ’ a fcjsrivy thunder storm arose. The loud peals of tju; vider and the vivid flashes of lightning filled tip m with terror and fearful apprehensions. Suij.vily a tremendous crash caused the loving pai| to start as though they had received an elecirij: shock. Jonathan, throwing his arms around | sis dear, exclaimed, “Hug up to me Liz—let’s t|ie-like men.” Poll districts of NkwjYork.— By the law relative to registration, ami providing for the immediate subdivision of wai; cboftbe city ofNew York, into smaller poll diatrij-ta, which has just been enacted, it appears that the whole number of poll districts, 1S 73, instead of 17, as formerly. The election is limited to a single day; and, with 73 ballot boxes open, each in its own proper poll districts, the little “world” of the empire city may accomplish the work and get through the busi ness of election day, in quiet and order. A Good Wind for Printers.— The medical men almost support the New York papers. Pills, Drops and Poultices, Catholicons and Panaceas, including the famous “Essence of Gridiron.’’and some other smutty affairs, fill up whole columns of the Gotham newspapers. One chap heads bis advertisement “Integriiy,” another calls himself “a Public Benefactor,” and a third is a graduate of forty-seven medical colleges in Europe. All these bright geniuses have made their fortunes by studying the materia medica, anatomy, physiology, and the philosophy of advertising. The last is the most ingenious part of the business.— Philad. Ledger.

The Forsaken. He never meets me as of old, As friends less cherished meet me His glance is ever calm and cold. To welcome, or to greet me ; His sighs ne’er follow where 1 move. Or tell what others’ sighs do; — But though his lips ne’er say « I love,” I often think his eyes do ! He never turns amid the throng. Where colder ears will listen ; Or gives one thought to that poor song, Once made his eyelids glisten : But sometimes, when our glances meet, As looks less warm—moie wise—do. Albeit, his lips ne’er say, “’tis sweet,” I often think his eyes do ! Oh ! brighter smiles than mine may glass His hour of mirth, or sorrow ; And fairer forms than mine may pass Across his path, to-morrow ; But something whispers solace yet. As stars through darken’d skies do; His lips ne’er say, “ I don’t forget,” I often think his eyes do ! COMMERCIAL. Latest dates from Liverpool, March 7 Latest dates from Havre March 3 AUGUSTA MARKET.
