THE WATCH GUARD.
She wove a chain of silken thiead,
For him she'd loved so well and long, '
And when 'hvas finished, smiling said,
"vtts like love's fetters, soft and .strorg."
But months flew o'er the cimin was broken,
She gaz'd upon its links, and sigh'd,
Alas! ?tW3s then a hitler token,
Of all her c:irlh!y love and pride!
For he had play'd the false one's pirt,
Around whose breast she'd bound that siring;
And now. 'twas like her own young heart,
A slighted and a broken thing!
Recipe for making sweet potato Pudding,
01). bring me from far in a Southern clime,
The sweetest potatoes that ever grew:
Such apples of earth as the nlden time
In its visions of prophecy envied the new. "
And wash them with lady-like lily hands,
Till they look a pure as the saffron light
That falls in the summer on fairy lands,
From the .moon in the depth of a cloudless nijrht.
And let them he next of their skins beguiled,
But tenderly strip oil the earthly vel,
As if you were flaying a. sleeping child,
And were cautious of breaking its gentle rest;
And let them be pulveriz'd nexi by the skill
Of the same white hands & the grater's power.
And a heaping up table spoon Ave times till
With the precious result of their golden flour;
Of boiling hot milk add a full qnart cup;
And next with five eggs in a separate bowl,
Beat five table spoonfuls f sugar up,
And stir thoni well in with the foaminir whole.
Add one table spoonlul of can de 7'ose,
Of salt a tea spoonful: -and niter these
Of butter an egg-sized morsel: and close
With a flavor of nutmt g,as much as you please.
Then bake it 'tis pudding- -I pause at the name,
To reflect on the puddings nfdavs that are past.
And the prospects of more, which aspiring to fame
And failing, I've lost to go hungry afla.
Husbands wanted. The IJoston Free
Tress mnkes proclamation, that then; are
"iwcntr-four thousand;'' fair ones up in
the Eastern States for market. The
Baltimore Morning Visiter in making the
statement lias the following eloquent and
pathetic appeal:
Read this, je who shiver over a cheer
less hearth, unblessed with the smiles of
the softer sex ye wliose very existence
is made a burden to yourselves and otlt
ers because ye will not. Hie ye doint
last and select from this numerous band
of "angels" a comforter a sooiho of
the cares to which frail man is heir. Bet
tcr wives we will venture to say, you will
meet with no where induct rious, pretty,
without ostentation, modest blooming
accomplisheli yea, every thing tliateourj
make a woman excellent. Winter is a
cheerless season for the single man
long evenings, solitary hours and comfort
less nights. Go to! do your duty like
menget wives, and save your money;
for faith! there is economy in matrimony!!
ec.ssfully I must hid you good bye. I never
can love a deaf wife.
Yours with profound esteem.
The young lady -not at all terrified,
stripped the circumstance oi us gtoomy
horrors, and quickly indited piquant
rejoinder.
My dear SirNo tint of words can change
your ugly temper. I scorn your tantalizing
sympathy. I cannot conceive a more ludicrous
object than yourself.. I mean your squint eye.
Yours with great deliberation.
I A breach of PromiseThe laxity of

tics, in religion, in love, in business, in
marriage, and in all the other concerns
of human life, we are infected with bad

reckoning on his wealth, he commenced
loving a pretty young black eyed ir
who had much of this world's gun.lhui
who was deaf. She managed to pre

the looks and translating the expressions
of the ever shifting countenance. Sh0

Her lover, who, like a modest man, one
still evening when even a zephyr would

Proof that a man is dead. A sub
scriber to one of the Eastern papers, a
few years ago, being sadly in arrears for
the same, promised the editor, that if bis
lif. was sp ired to a certain day, he would
without fail discharge his bill. The day
passed on and the bill was not paid.
Tin? natural conclusion therefore was,
that the man was dead absolutely de
funct. Proceeding on this conclusion,
the editor, in bis next paper, placed the
name of ihe delinquent under his obitua
ry head, with the attending circumstances
of time and place. Pretty soon after this
announcement, the subject of it appeared
to the editornot with the pale ghastly
countenance usually ascribed to appari
tions but with a face as red as scarlet.
Neither did it, like other apparitions,
wait to be first spoken to, but broke si
lence with "Wh.'it the devil, sir, did you
mean by publishing my dcntlit" "Why,
sir, the same that I mean when I publish
the death of any other person, viz: to let
the world know that you were dead."
"Well, but Til be cursed if I am dead!"
"Not dead! then it's your own fault, for
you told me that you would positively pay
your bill by such a day, if you lived till
that time. Tho'day is, past", the bill not
paid, and you positively must be dead
for 1 will not believe you would forfeit
your word O no." "i see you have got
round me, Air. Mditor but say no more
about it here' the money. " And barker-,
you wag, just contradict my death
in .t week, will youl" "O certainly, sir,
just to please you-though upon my word
I can't help thinking you died at the time
specified, and that you merely come back
to pay this bill, on account of your friend
ship for me."
Matrimony. A young lady of twenty
throe, was lately throwing out some af
fecting sneers at matrimony, when a
grave friend in company observed . that
marriages were made in heaven. "Can
you tell me, sir," replied the nymph, "why
they are so sloio coming down?"
