TUESDAY JANUARY 54, 1854.
From tit Macon RepNice I
THE WIDOWED INEBEIATES LAMENT.
I'm thinking- on thy smiles, Mary v
Thy bright and trusting mile , . k "
In the morning of our youth and 9nfS ;
Ere sorrow came or guile s .. . -. f',..- ;'
When thine arms were twined about my Deck,
And mine eyes looked Into thine, .
And the heart that throbbed for me alone,
Wm melting cloae to mine. .
I see fall many a gmile, Mary, .
On young lip" beaming brignt r
And many an eye of light and lore,
Is flashing in my sight ;
Bat the smile is not br my poor heart,
And the eye is strange to me,..
And lonelinses comes o'er my aoml
When memory turns to thee.
I'm thinking on the night Mayr
The night of grief and shame ;
When with drunken raring on my Hps
To thee I homeward came. " ;:" :-t
Oh ! the tear was in thine earnest eye,
And thy bosom wildly heated,
Yet a smile of lore was on thy cheek,
Tho' the heart was sorely grired.
But the smilo soon left thy lips, Mary ,
And thine eye grew dim and sad,
For the tempter turned my steps from the
And the wine- cup drove me mad. . v
From the cheek the roses quickly fled, .r
And the ringing laugh wss gone, Vtjy
Yet the heart still fondly clung tome, c
And still kept trusting on. v
Oh ! my words were harsh to thee, Marf,
For the wine-cup made me wild,
And I chid thee when thine eyea were sad,
And cursed thee when they smiled ;
God knows I loved thee even then,
Bat the Are was in my brain,
And the curse of drink was in my heart,
To make my love a bane.
T'was a pleasant home of ours, Mary,
In the spring-time of our life,
When I looked upon thy sunny face,
And proudly called thee wife ;
And 'twas plesant when our children played
Before our cottage door,
But the children sleep with thee, Mary,
I shill never see tbcm more.
Thou'rt resting in the church-yard now.
And no stone is at thy head, z
But the Sexton knows a drunkards wife -
Sleeps in that lonely bed ;
Aad he says the hand of God, Mary,
Will fall with crushing weight,
On the wretch who brought thy gently life
To its untimely fate.
But he knows not of the broken heart,
I bear within my breast ; . v'-'
Or the heavy load of rain remorse,
That will not let me rest ; Ji
He knows not of the the sleepless nigh la,
When dreaming of thy love ;
I seem to see thine Angel eyes, .
Look coldly from above. s
I have raised the wine-cup in my hand,
And the wildest strains I've sung;
'Till with the laugh of drunken mirth,
The echoing air nas rang ;
But a pale and sorrowing face looked out
From the glitterring cup on mey I
And a trembling whisper I hare heard,
That I fancied breathed by thee !
V
Thou art slumbering in the peaceful grave,
And thy sleep is dreamless now,
But the seal of aa undying grief
Is on thy mourner's brow ; J
And my heart fa chflf asthfaef Jiary,
For the joys of life are fled,
And I long to lay my aching breast
With the cold and silent dead
GOING BAIL.
Lawyers frequently eu bjectj persons who
offer themselves for bail to unnecessary bad
'gering. A care of this kind oerarred in Su
perior Court Chambers, New York, not long
ago. Old Mr. Jacob Abrams, a man worth
a quarter of a mUlia of money, offered birn-st-lf
bnil for n Jew far-dealer, who had been
arrested under the Stillwell fid. The amount
of hail required was $1500.
Counsel : ' What does your property con
sul of, Mr. A brums V
Ahrams : 5 Sir. I'm wHling: to swear that I
am worth more than 81500, over and above
nil. I thii k his honor, the Judge, will tell
you that that is sufficient, without going into
r:irlicul.ir.'
I'om.sel : 'No sir. it is not sufficient. We
have a right to know what this property is.'
Abrains: 'Very well, sir, I've got your
own bond and mortgage on the houat you
li-e in. for eight thousand dollar, and 1 con
aider it wort nib. 1 1 the amount of the bail.'
I Much la u enter, in which the Counsel
ioined.1
Counsel : 'We do not wish to ask any more
question. Mr. Abrams. To the Judge.
We are satisbed with the bull, your honor.'
This is a true incident. Mr. Abrams had
just taken the bond and mortgage from nn
insurance company who wnnted the cash
for it.
A HINDOO CAVILLER SILENCED.
As Mr. Thomas was one day addressing a
crowd o( Hindoos, on the banks of the Gan
ges, he was accosted by a brahmin as follows :
' Sir, don't you say that 1 he devfl tempts
men to sin V
' Yes,' answered the missionary.
' Then,' said the brahmin, 'certainly, the
fault is the devil's; the devil, therefore, and
not man. ought to suffer the punishment.'
Just then observing a boat descending the
river, Mr. Thomas directed his attention to
it, and said
' Brahmin, do you see yonder boat 7
Yes.' '
Suppose I were to send some of my friends
to destroy every person on board, aad bring
rae nil that i valoabie in the boat, who
ought to suffer punishment ? I, for instrurt-
lnwem" or ,hey rr doi" ,te wicked net V
Why.' answer the brahman, yoo ought
all to be pot to death together.'
, ' Ay.' replied Mr. Thomnt, ifyou atidthe
devil itti j together, you and the devil frill be
punished together.'

of bottles delivered to order, in quantities of from
half a gross upward, during theyesr Ib62, was with
in a trifle of 950.000.
It is unnecessary to present at length the evidenc

when the public have lornif bt d rurl-an indorse
ment as this. The cheapness of .henrtleie and the
explanations given ot its chemica action upon the
hair, the scalp, and in all cases of superficial irrita
tion, first recommended it to the attention of the
people This was all that the Inventor desired.
Every bottle advertised itself The effects of the fluid

in every section of ihe Unite" states found th y
