THREE WEEKS AFTER MARRIAGE.
By T. H. Bayley. -I
don't care three and sixpence now
For any thins; in life:
JVIy days of fun are over now,
I'm married to a wife
I'm married lo a wife, my boys,
And that by Jove's no joke!
I've eat the white of this world's egg,
And now I've got the yolk.
I'm sic"k of sending marriage cake,
Of eating marriage dinners,
And all (he fuss th.it people make
With newly wed beginners:
I can- not now for white champaigne,
I never cared for red;
Bine coats are al blue bores to me,
And Limerick gloves or kid.
And as for posting np and down,
It adds to all my ills,
At every paltry country town,
I wish you saw the bills.
They know me for a married man,
Their smirking says they do,
And charge me as the Seo.ch Greys charged
The French at Waterloo.
I've grown too, quite an idle rogue,
I ouy eU and drink;
Reading with me is not in vogue,
I can't be piqued to think;
"When breakfast's over, I begin
To wish 'twere dinner time,
And these are all the changes now
In my life's pantomime.
I wonder if this state he what
Folk call the honey moon?
If so, upon my word, I hope
It will be over soon;
For loo much honey is to me
. Much worse than too much salt,
I'd rather read from end to end,
The works of Mr. Gait.
Oh! when I was a bachelor
I was as brisk's a bee,
But now I lie on ottoman?,
And languidly sip tea,
Or read a little paragraph
In any evening paper,
Th n think it time to go to sleep,
And light my bedroom taper.
0! when I was a bachelor
I always had some plan
To win myself a loving wife,
And be a married man,
And now that I am so at last,
My plans are at an end,
I scarcely know one thing to do,
My time I cannot speud.
0! vvhen I was a bachelor,
My spirits never fl)gl,
I walk'd as if a pair of wing9
Had to my feet been tagg'd;
But 1 walk much more slowly now,
As married people should;
Were I to walk six miles an hour,
My wife might think it rude.
Yet after all I must confess,
Ti.is easy sort of way
Of getting o'er life's jolting road,
Is what I can't gainsay;
I might have bren a bachelor
Until my dying day,
"Which would have been lo err at least,
As far the other way.
"
Hfijffi5fff,r Q in
Discharging a Load. A bachelor in
Essex county, who was somewhat strick
en in years, had been for some time ena
moured with one of the maiden sister
hood, but could not muster courage en
ough to pop the cfbestion. One day he
was resolved to .make the attempt. Mu
accordingly went to the house, knocked
at the door, and his lovely dulcinea made
her appearance. After a mutual nod the
following laconic dialogue endued: 'Do
you want to change your condition!'
'No.' I neither.' And turning about
our bachelor concluded the conversation
with, Thank heaven, I've got that load
off my stomach!'
Kising.-X 7u" from a western
paper, that a young ntlemau of New
York, has been fined $23 and costsfor
kMing the wife of a man with whom he
boarded. I he suit was brought by the
.u.u iovery ot damages,
Borne part of which were sustained more
.than a year ago by this tender meeting
of hps. It appeared by the tcti.uony oi
the kissee, that the offence had been re
peated eight or nineVimes within a few
M,lhs; I1,,kil,g the f'"cc of the smacks
about 83 eacb. ' So, young men, lake
warning. Be cautious in all things, but'
be especially careful how you kiss other
people's wives. We don't think hs is
a very exorbitant rate, if the western
damsels are any thing like our yankee
ones. It should have been stated how
long the kisses were. Byron says the
length is the only way to determine the
value of a kiss. For example:
A long long kiss a kiss of youlh and love,"
is assuredly worth more than $5. Shak
speare has also a line in which the beauty
of these delicious kisses is well expressed:
"A kiss,
Long as my exile! sweet as my revenge!"
Goodness! what fellows these poets
must have been for kissing!!!
A bite The New York Gazette says:
A few evenings since, a handsome young
girl, a domestic in a respectable family
in this city, was sent out on an errand.
She had not proceeded far up Broadway,
when she was aecosted by one of those
worthies, who, in the garb of gentlemen,
make it a practice to insult females who
appear without a projector in the streets;
or as they have it, "pick them up." He
asked her if he should have the pleasure
of seeing her home to which she replied
certainly ami then requested him as he
was polite enough to see her home, she
would thank him to carry her bundle for
her to which he joyfully consented.
They proceeded up Broadway to the cor
ner of Walker street; when suddenly the
lady disappeared, leaving the gentleman
with the bundle in hands, hallpoing after
her, for it seemed he was too much as
tonished to follow her. He then began
to think what the bundle contained, for it
fett warm, and something in it seemed to
move. His fears were excited he pro
ceeded to examine the contents, and what
do you suppose, gentle reader, it contain
ed! "A child," you will say of course;
unfortunately for the gallant gentleman,
no! but four ntio bom kittens, which the
girl had been sent out to loose in the
street in preference to drowning them.
It is truly to be hoped the gentleman has
taken fatherly charge of the poor little
four-footed orphans, thus kindly entrust
ed to his care.
Tricks in Trade. A vender of 'West
India goods and groceries,' in a village in
New Hampshire, had on hand a quantity
of molasses which he retailed for nine
cents the quart. A rival grocer put his
down to eight. This was a little lower
than our hero 'wished to afford' it, but
people would not give him nine, while his
neighbor sold the sweetening for eight.
Necessity is the mother of invention, and
a Yankee never was at fault, in matter of
Mieker' or trade, .Jonathan hit upon the
following expedient: He? divided his mo
lasses into two parts and advertised, 'as
good molasses as can be bought at any
store in New Hampshire, for eight cents
also, a very superior c isk at ten.' The
'superior article' was readily and rapidly
sold, while the eight cent commodity laid
on hand. One half thus disposed of,
Jonathan shifted his casks, and transpo
sed the other half into a 'superior' posi
tion, by which manoeuvre the whole was
vended at ten cents.
A man in a thousand. A gentleman
came into our counting room yesterday,
and addressing himself to the book-keeper,
sir, said he, "I have read your paper
for eighteen months, and always borrow
ed it; now it is but fair that I should sub
scribe for it." Suiting the action lo the
word, he "ponied up" four dollars, and
registered his name on our subscription
list. What a splendid example! How
seldom are public journalists cheered
with such encouragement... Boston Tran.
Tough. A writer in a St. Clairsville
(Ohio) paper, tells the following story as
every word true: "In November, 1827,
then living in Harrison county, Ohio, I
killed a small hog and dressed it on the
face of a large red oak stump. In the
March following 1 observed most of the
bristles left on the stump from dressing
the hog, to be slicking into the wood end-1
wise -and on pulling them out, 1 found
to each bristle two or three roots from $
to 3 of an inch long, having actually com
menced a vegetable growth."

plin, Hardy Bryan, Esq. of Jones, Hon. Richard
Dobb Spaight, of Craven, Col. Blount Coleman, of
Lenoir, Gen. JVyatl Moye, of Greene, and Richard
Washington, Esq. of Wayne county. And in case

or they may designate from their respective counties.
Asa Board of Managers, it will be their province to

nate adventurers will receive payment upon present
ation of their tickets, immediately after the drawing,

The Bridge when completed wkt-. free for all
persons who may pass it and the r?;.t.ie to Newbern
across this Bridge, is as near for persons living above

avoiding nine miles of deep sand. It will also be in
the direct route from Wilmington to Tarborough.
It is the wish of the Commissioners to accomplish
the drawing on the 4th July next, m the town of Kin
ston, Lenoir county. If the sale of the tickets should
enable them to do so, timely notice of the fact will be
given in the newspapers in order that as many as may
wish to witness the drawing may attend for that pur
pose. It is hoped and earnestly requested that the gentle
men to whom tickets may be forwarded for sale, will
use early and diligent means to dispose of them and
that all persons who arc disposed to patronize the
work will do it at an early day, as the Commissioners
are desirous of calling on the Agents or venders of
tickets about the 1st ot June for settlement, so as to
enable them to prepare for drawing on the 4th July.
