FOR THE " TARBORO PRESS.
In Tarbry when the sun was high,
I saw a girl go passing by;
She had a bright and sparkling e3'e
Like Champaign in its glasses.
The h air that shone upon her head
Was neither light, nor brown, nor red;
But 'twas so black it might be said,
It look'd like polished ebony.
Her cheeks were of a rouge like tinge,
Upon her lip I savv a dinge.
That look'd just like a rtis'y hinge.
When taken from strong vinegar.
Her teeth, that should have lookd like
pe iris,
( s I had seen some other girls)
Appeared as yellow as a squirl's
While eating "new ground pumpkin.'
1 do not wish to be precise,
But this I saw vvhh my own eyes,
I saw. alas! to my surprise,
What made me feel so sorry:
I saw I saw I saw enough
That she had bought all sorts yl'stirff.
And had nol failed to buy some SNUFF,
:That made her teeth so yellow.
Young ladies, do you all refuse
And leave "snulf rubbing" to the Jews;
Your mothers will not make you iie,
Hut all their daughters they'll excuse.
Dl K W1LUF1UK.

I r SLEKPETH.
Tranquilly it sleepeth,
On its mother's breast,
Gentle thoughts have won it,
' Lovingly to rest.
Lo! how deep its slumber,
Like a summer lake;
Kiss it mother, kiss it,
That it may awake.
Press it to thy bosom,
W7arm it with thy smile,
Let its sunny glances
- Gladden us awhile.
Lo! a shadow stealeth
O'er it dim and dark;
Canst thou hear its breithing
Woo the silence? Hark !
Silent lay thy finger
Gently on its heait;
Silly one! it sleepeth,
Wherefore dost thou start?
Sleepeth J aye it sleepeth
In its beauty wh re
Mother's love avails not,
And the angels are.

A CARD
Mrs. Mary Caudle begs permission to
protest in this manner, against the public
ity which has been given to some conver
sation between her and" her husband, lela
tive to matters, altogether of a domestic
nature. She has, against the suggestions
of many good friends, forborne to notice
the injustice of her husband, who is, it is
believed, instigated by the vanity of being
considered ja writer, or the habits and cus
toms of certain societies of which he has
lately become a member, to tell a good
dear more than should be made public.
Unwilling to be made a subject of ridicule,
Mrs. Caudle deems it due to herself, and
her small family, now entirely dependent
on her, to appeal respectfully to the peo
ple against the decision they have made
against her, on her husband's representa
tions, and to sustain her appeal by a state
ment M further facts i t

There,' Mrs.1 Caudle, if a fellow begins to
whistle, vou need'nt be tormenting your
self to find out what it is abouu I'd like
to know, if a man canf i whistle in his o wn
bed, where he can whistle? Keeps you
from going to sleep, does it? That's al

with you, on any: little private,family. .mat

Now you know very well, that I must
open my mouth to whistle; that shows all
you know! Paid too dear for your whist
tie, did you? You must be mightily chant I
ged since I first knew you! 1 used to get.
a chance of talking then! But now, vou're
always deaf when I speak! But I just tel
you what it is, Mrs. Caudle, you must ei
ther keep my shirts in better order, or
leave the premises; there's a button off a
whole week too! I'm not in -a passion
about it, but if I was a cussing man, I cerj
ainly should swear, to relieve .my feelings
I can't smother em! I'd scorn to swal
low 'em; they've been pent up in this bus
tin' heart ever since this button was oft
it's scandalous, that a man having a wife
has no buttons on his shirti Some meh
would'nt put up with it; but I'm not a bad
emper, thank fortune: it would'nt do for
me to be ill-tempered, when some persons
who live in the same house, are such vix
ens! Oh! no! Smith didn't meet me ifi
he-street to-day, and says he, 'Caudle,!'
says he, 'there's a button off your shirt,
vou have a wife, I believe ' Oh, no;!
Smith dia?tit say this! Listen to old
Smith's nonsense, do I? Well, then, I tell
you, if I was a bachelor like Smith, I'jd
thank my stars; he always has buttons on
his shirts. I won't stop talking and go to
sleep I'm not sleepy, and I'm no child,
to go to sleep when you please, and a but
ton off my shirt too! Wish I had my
tongue buttoned up, do you? so you'd
have a chance to jaw, I s'pose! Dear
knows, you've been talking about this but
ton being off my shirt all night, and hoyv
Vm to get a wink of sleep, don't know;
but 1 'spose my shirts are nothing to you

Well if it is'nt a name worth having,
that's not my fault; you might havesaid no,

Caudle, 'em, and yoa too now, if it is'nt
done early to morrow! Pulled it off, did
1? Well if I did, I reckon a man hasja
right to do what he pleases; and if
I didn't vou're telling a lie! 1 never
could bear false witnesses and to think
a m a i ft i -
JMarv Caudle shoutu be one: it 1 ever
should be fortunate enough to marry again
I hope I shan't get a false witness; but
some people s wives don't die! Oh ,r
but they aggravate their husbands into a
death-bed, and then, before the;grass grovys
over their graves, they cajole somebody
else into tying the knot withJ them; and
my poor little Caudle's is to suffer this, arid
all because of a button too! 1 7 in notawor
rysome temper, I never; but being with
some persons, might have made a worse
man take to drink, but I'm a Christian, and
it's my duty as a Christian, Mrs. Caudle,
to mention every button that comes off my
shirts, and your duty to sew 'em on, of la
Sunday morning too, if I think proper!
I'd like to know what wives is good for if it
ain't to lake care of the children, and sew
on the buttons that comes off ; their hus
band's shirts!
Now it's my opinion, that button never
was on my shirt; 1 hat s always the way
with you, leaving things unfinished; a pret
iy story it wouiu oe, it I had to go to ja
seamstress to have my buttons sewed ori;
and me with a wife and eight children!
Such an example to set those gals too of
ours; they'll never get husbands as they
live, if they don't learn to finish things;
and they'll never learn that from Mary
Caudle, know! Some persons might
have made a fuss about this button, but Pm
a fellow member of the great universe of
hiibbands, and I consider it my duty to ex
hibit patience; its one of the cardinal vir
tues, Mrs. Caudle. Your cardinal, (Mary
Caudle, its my opinion you re a fool,) I
know that was stolen, but what Pm talk
ing about is'nt a cape, but a virtue, which
judging for you've neither temperance, for
bearance, nor christian charity, judging
from this button on my shirt.
Mrs. Caudle, I say, Mrs. Caudle, remem
ber that butldn's to be done to-morrow.
Asleep, are your Well, I'll speak of it
some other time, I've been too careless let
ting such things pass without saying more
on the subject, but ' know why my but
tons aiL sewed on. I'm glad I'm not in a
passion. 1 should'nt like to go to sleep in
a passion -I've kept very cool-but its on
ly owing to my having said so little on
this subject. Its really aggravating for a
man's wife nol to keep his shirts in order.

Catching an Heiress in Kentucky.'
About two months since, says the Cin
cinnati Commercial, a novel 'circumstance
took place a few miles pack of Covington,
in the State of Kentucky, the parties hav
ing numerous wealthy acquaintances in
Cincinnati. It appears that a very rich
old widow lady by the name of M. had an
only daughter, who was a beautiful crea
ture, and could have commanded the
hand of the proudest of Kentucky's sons,
but she strange to say loved a little gentle
man tailor by the name of P. who had been
so fortunate as to woo her without her mo
ther's knowledge. At : length the fact
came to the parent's ear,! and she forbade
young P. her house. A few days or weeks
after the old lady had occasion to be absent
one.evening till a late hour; of course the
lovers did not let such 'an opportunity pass
of spending the evening together; and when
they heard Mrs M, returning, the lover,
not being able to escape, was put safely in
to a closet. On the entrance of Mrs. M
she having had a hint from a faithful ser
vant, made bold to question her daughter
about the presence of her lover; and declar
ing that he had just gone out of the house.
This the damsel stoutly denied, but her
mama would not believe her, and as a ter
rible punishment, ordered her to be locked
up in the dark closet, there to remain till
broad day light! On her opening the clos
et door next morning,! Mr. M. was thun
derstruck to behold her daughter asleep in
the young tailor's arms! It is needless to
add that the mother no longer opposed their
union, and on that very day the blush
ing girl was united to. Her honorable lover.
and they are now, enjoying all the blisses
and kisses of their romantic honey moon.
