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, Whose years, alas! have numbered forty-four, But owns to twenty-five ; and feels afraid That all her chance is gone; for ever Moore!

Jsir => An English writer classifies old maids and bachelors “solitary mature men and women who have nothing happening to them.” Great definition. |2gT°A youth in Chicopee, Massachu setts, while attempting to kiss a young la dy, slipped and fell just before reaching her, thus losing his kiss and two front teeth. is really the smallest horse [I ever saw, 6aid a countryman on viewing a Shetland pony. “Indeed now,” replied his Irish compan ion,” “but I’ve seen a small one as two of ’em.” 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.” Forensic Eloquence. —“ May it please the Court and gentlemen of the jury : We shall attempt to prove first that my <ii ent’s hog did not commit any depredations on the complainant’s fence; tfiat the hog broke only three pickets instead of six, as set forth in the indictment; and third, that my client has no hog, nor never had.” 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 ly folded, and on opening it to his surprise, read as follows: “ Dear Sir : —Please permit the boy Joe and Ann, the partner of his joys and sor rows, to proceed through this dark vale of tears to the Baptist Church and there join the mass and ‘play on a harp of a thousand strings; spirits of just men made perfect,’ to return t< their home, m ove and fellowship, „ HP* I , . ■A.
