MY WIFE'S ANNUAL;
Or, Aer Aew-Iertrs 6T7.
Thrice happy he who, tied for life
To one who loves him very dearly,
Receives from his industrious wife, -A
litile living offering yearly.
Whit thou-;' the brats assail his Ius,
With noif and diu like tower of Babel?
How sweet lo see their full-moon mugs,
Like olive branches round his table. ,
To see, with feelings of delight,
The mw born infant on his lap;
To hear it sqn;dl, vom morn to night,
And cram its chubby jowls with pap.
Delightful task! the young recruit?,
With anxious care, to teach their letters;
And gravely show tho older shoots
How to behave before their betters.
If in the cup of wedded bliss
So many sweet ingredients mingle,
Each musty bachelor we'll hiss,
And pelt the rogue for living single.
"All over, Sir! and you'll agree
That I've some cause to wish you joy
As fine a baby as can be
Another little chopping boy.
I always said 'twould be a lad,
And sure I am I've done my duty;
Lawk! he's the image of his dad,
Now isn't he a perfect beauty?
And ha'nt he got his mother's eye?
And don't the rogue begin to "squeak well?
Now, for a new-born baby, I
Never in size beheld his eoual."
Yes Nurse! the boy is well enoui,
And these are things to make u steady;
Of such I now have quantum siff
For I have eight of them already.
"Well can I estimate the worth
Of such delightful marriage sweets,
When my beloved wife brings forth
Her 'Annual Offl-rinsc' in sheets.
And she, dear soul, I'm very Mire
For 'tis a point we both agree in
Although her parentage was poor,
Is very perfect in hvr breeding.
It really seems a thriving trade;
And I. of course, must not abuse it.
Tis hard, when Mich an off-ring's made,
That we've no option to refuse it."
GREAT GRIEF.
Ajudflfo did once his tipstaff call;
And say, "Sir, I desire
You go forthwith and search the hall.
And send me in the cryer."
"And search, my lord, in vain I may,"
The tipstaff gravely said:
"Thf cryer cannot cry to day,
Because his wife is dead."

nrcme Court to grant him a divorce from
his sni.l wife Plly. From the legisla-
live debute to which we are referring, we
learn that the application was refused on
the following grounds.
While the parlies were living togertier
in a state of amicable indifference, they
attended a party at a neighbor's house,
which had assembled to boil apple but
tcr. In the course of the evening, "Mr.
Moore laid his sleeve around the' shoul
ders of a young woman, while sitting nt
the fire side in company with others, and
drawing her up in his arms, gave her a
kiss." This fact being made known to
the Supreme Court, they refused to loos
en Mr. Moore's matrimonial chains.
From this it is to be inferred, that there
is in Ohio, neither statute nor common
law, -authorizing married men to kiss un
married women.
Mr. Moore, not satisfied with this de
cision of the Supreme Court, has made
his appeal to the Legislature, and at our
last dates the question was pending be-
