Who squared his overdrawn accounts
And saved him twice from being undone!
Who sent him those "hltits 'cae"
For several thousand pounds on London'
Who was it wrote and found him friends
Of every gia!e from prince to peasant'
Who sent him papers postage paid'
And evc:y year a Christmas present'
Hal never knew but he returned
The same good-natured careless being:
Resolved to settle down at home
Having beheld a'.l things worth seeing.
His early love almost forgot!
Perhaps he thought her dead and sainted'
Hut yet she met him at the door
Burst into tears poor girl and fainted!
Oh woman's heart's a curious thing
And curious ways they take to show it;
And be must be extremely flat
Who thinks that he begins to know it;
And were they married' well they were;
guuity alone out to me innocent beings
whose destinies are linked with the sot.

with resolution that you will neither touch

an Executive communication. It is customa-
ry (o appoii't fi committee of thb Senate to
wait on the President oflhc United States to
inform him that the body has organized and
is readv "to receive coniriiunicnlions. Gen.
Taylor" not acquainted with this form sent
Col. Bliss with some nominations while Mr.
Atchison and the othn members of the com-
mittee were on their way to announce that
the Senate was ready to' receive any commu-
nications. The General shocked that ha
had kept the Senate waiting as he thought
started and turned round and exclaimed
"Where is Bliss? I scnUhose nominations
by him two hours ago." Mr. Atchison bit
his lips to prevent a smile while the bystan-
ders vere highly amused" at the native cha-
grin of the old General that Bliss had kept
.the Senate waiting.
