THE OLD MAID’S PETITION.
Pity the sorrows Qf ft poor old maid,
Whose years, alasi have numbered forty-four;
But owns to twenty-five; and feels afraid
That all her chance is gone—for ever Moore.
This youthful ‘garb my eagerness bespeaks,
T..IS morning-cap proclaims my lengthened years,
And many a wrinkle in my grief-worn cheeks,
Has oft been wet with disappointment’s tears.
Hard is the fate of maids no longer young!
Deaf to my hints were all the dancing men:
And envying in my heart the blooming throng,
I waltzed with partners of threescore-and-ten!
Oh! let me but avoid the wretched doom,
menaces old maids, as gossips tell,
When they have passed the precincts of the tomb
To lead the apes they loved on earth, in hell!
Should I reveal the sources of my grief,
If soft humanity e’er touched their breast,
Sure bachelors could not withhold relief!
And pitying offers would not be represt!
Heaven sends us offers! why should we refuse ?
Tlis that has brought me to the state you see;
And should they hesitate too long to choose,
Young ladies soon will grow old maids like me!
A little beauty once I had to boast,
Then sprightly as a sylph I hailed the ball;
But, ah! too soon I ceased to reign a toast,
And rival belles delighted in my fall!
My sister, once the comfort of my youth,
Lured by an offer from her native halls!
Now lives confiding in a husband’s truth,
While in her nurs’ry many an infant squalls!
My lover once! sweet soother of my cares!
Struck by consumption, at death’s stern decree,
A victim fell to brandy and cigars,
And left the world to wretchedness and me !
•
Pity the sorrows of a poor old maid,

maids and bachelors “solitary mature men
and women who have nothing happening
to them.” Great definition.

“Indeed now,” replied his Irish compan

JgfPA lady was recently teaching a lit
tle urchin to spell. The boy spelled cold,
~but could not come the pronunciation. In
vain his teacher asked him to think and
try. At last she asked him what do you
get when you go out upon the wet side
walk on a rainy day, and wet your feet ?”
“I gets a licking,” replied the urchin quite
naturally.
SSIT’ A Yankee boy once had a whole
Dutch cheese set before him by a waggish
friend, who, however, gave him no knife.
“This is a funny cheese, uncle Joe, but
where shall I cut it ?”
“Oh,” said the grinning friend, “cut it
where you like.”
“Very well,” said the Yankee coolly put
ting it under his arm, “Iguess I shall best
cut it at home.”
tall, slabsided Yankee who was I
making his appearance at Cape May last
summer, strolled down to the beach during
bathing time. On seeing the bevy of
beauties disporting in the waves he burst
into a fit of enthusiasm :
“Je-ru-sa lein! If that don’t jest remind
me of something good we have to hum.”
“What is that?” remarked a friend who
heard him.
“What is it!” said Jonathan, smacking
his lips. “Why, it’s hisses and water.”
|jj§PA German employed in one of our
hotels, was sent lately for a bucket of cis
tern water. Remaining longer than was
necessary, the landlord who knew him to
be pretty well filled with lager beer, went
out to see what was the matter, and found
him industriously turning the wheel of a
dray, which had been propped up to be
greased, with his bucket placed under the
hub. Mynheer complained that the water
was low “in der cistern.”
remember being at a conference |
meeting once, in Yankee land, when one of
the deacons canoe around asking the people
if they wanted salvation.
Near ns sat a butcher’s boy, nineteen
years old, about as amenable “to salvation
as a lamb in his hands would be to mercy.
“Doyou want salvation?” said the dea
con, looking into his brutal face.
“No! darn yer—l want Sal Skinner,
and the sexton won’t let me take her out
’till meetin’s over.”

set forth in the indictment; and third, that

A Model Pass. —A friend of ours in the
police force met a couple of servants going
to church on Sunday evening last, and de
sired them to show their pass, when he
was shown a half sheet of note paper neat

read as follows:
“ Dear Sir : —Please permit the boy Joe

HOLLO AY AY’S PILLS.,.
WHY ARE WE SICK f
It lias been the lot of the human race to be weighed down by
disease and suffering. HOLLOWAY’S PILLS are specially adapt
ed to tlie relief of the WEAK, tlie NERVOUS, tlie DELICATE, and

ened people, as the best remedy the world ever saw for tlie remo
val of disease.
THESE PILLS PURIFY THE BLOOD.
These famous Pills are expressly’ combined to operate on tiie
stomach, tlie liver, the kidneys, the lungs, the skin, and tin; bow
els, correcting any derangement in their functions, purffjmvg the

forms.
DYSPEPSIA AND LIVER COMPLAINTS.
Nearly half the human race have taken these Pills. It lias been
proved in al! parts of the world, that nothing has been found equal
to them in cases of disorders of the liver, dyspepsia, and stomach
complaints, generally. They soon give a healthy tone to these or
gans, however much deranged, and when all other means have
failed.
G EVER. 1 L DEBILI TV, / 1L UFA L TII.
Many of the most despotic Governments have opened their Cus
tom Houses to the introduction of these Pills, that they maybe-,
come tlie medicine of the masses. Learned Colleges admit that
this medicine is the best remedy ever known for persons of deli
cate health, or where the system has been impaired, as its invig
orating properties never fail to afford relief
FEMALE CO MELA INTS.
No Female, young or old, should be without this celebrated med
icine. It corrects and regulates the monthly courses at all peri
ods, acting in many cases like a charm. It is also the best and

ing.
If you have contracted the terrible CNva-S: which, when once
seated in the system, will surely go cicv. n from one generation to
another, undermining th ■ constitution and supping the very vital
fluids of life, do not trust yourself in the hands of Qt- . who
startup every day in a city like this, ami till the papers with gl.tr
'ing falsehoods too well calculated to deceive the young,and ihc.se
not acquainted with their tricks. You cannot be 100 onreful hi the
selection of a remedy in these cases.
The Fluid Extract Buctiu liu- been pronounced by eminent j.h; -
sieians the greatest remedy e\ or known. It is a medicine perfect
ly pleasant in its taste,and very innocent in its action, and yet so
thorough that it annihilates every particle of the rank and poison
ous virus of this dreadful disease; and, unlike other remedies, does
not dry up the disease ill thoh-ooc!.
Constitutional Dcbilit.t, bi ou-Jit on by self-abuse, a most terrible
disease, wh eh lias brought thousands of the human race
timely graves, thus blasting the brliiitint hopes of parents, and
blighting in tlie bud the glorious ambition of many a noble youth,
can be cured by this Infallible Remedy. And as a medicine which
must benefit everybody, from the simply delicate to the confined
and despairing invalid, no equal is to be found acting both as a
Cure and preventive. -

Pains and Swellings of the Bones, Tetter, Pimples on the Face, and
all Scaly Eruptions of the Skin.
Tiiis article is now prescribed by some of the most distinguished
physicians in tlie country, ami has proved more efficient in prac

Several cases of secondary Syphilis, Mercurial and Scrofulous and s
eases have entirely recovered in tlie incurable wards of our Public
Institutions which had for many years resisted every mode of
treatmerft that could be devised. These cases furnish striking ex
amples of the salutary effects of this medicine in arresting some of
the most inveterate diseases, after the glands were destroyed, and
tlie bones already affected.
