LET'S TAKE THIS WORLD AS SOME WIDE 



SCENE. 



Let's take tliis world as some wide scene, 



Througfi which in frail but buoyant boat, 

 With skies now dark, and now serene. 



Together thou and I must float; 

 Beholding oft on either shore. 



Bright spots where we sliould like to stay — 

 But time plies swift his flying oar. 



And on we speed, far, far away. 



Should chilling winds and rains come on, 



We'll raise our awning 'gainst the shower, 

 Sit closer till the storm is gone. 



And smiling wait s sunnier hour ; 

 And if that sunnier hour should shine. 



We'll know its brightness cannot stay ; 

 But happy, while 'tis thine and mine. 



Complain not when it fades away. 



So reach we both, .at last, that fall 



Down which life's currents all must go, 

 The dark, the brilliant, destined all 



To sink into the void below — 

 Nor e'en that hour shall want its charms, 



If side, by side, still fond we keep, 

 And calmly in each others arms, 



Together linked, go down the steep. 



SONG OF THE DRAGOON. 



Br LT. GEORGE W. PATTEN, V. S. ARMY. 



Our march is like the thundergust — 



We prostrate where we pass ; 

 And broader is the trail we leave 



Along the prairie grass ; 

 From north to south we range the wood, 



We skim the plains afar. 

 We thread the brake, we breast the flood — 



Onward — huzza ! huzza ! 



Our halt is where the prairie wolf 



Barks at the grizzly bear ; 

 And every couch we lie upon 



The Bulfalo must spare. 

 Break not, my boys, the squadron's line ; 



Down with the forest spar ; 

 Cut with your swords the tangled vine ; 



Onward — huzza! huzza! 



Our steeds are, like ourselves, my boys, 



Born for a martial train- 

 Fearless and strong they tramp along, 



And yet they heed the rein ; 

 Then let the merry bugle sound. 



We follow freedom's star ; 

 For battle or for hunting ground. 



Onward — huzza ! huzza !

Advice To a Yoong Lady. — A young lady at 

 eighteen often needs a warning voice to point out 

 the quicksands over vvliich she is speeding her 

 thoughtless career. I hear you are beautiful, and 

 have many admirers. I am sorry for it. A yoimg 

 woman whose conduct is marked with strict honor 

 and principle, cannot have many.admirers. There 

 is nothing that more certainly m«rks a had heart, 

 and depraved moral principles, or worse a thor- 

 ough destitution of it, tlin the cruel and guilty 

 encouragement of honorable love. 



A young man is never long attached to a young 

 lady, without her being aware of it, commonly, 

 indeed, bcfoi'e he is hmiself aware of the nature 

 and extent of his feelings. The knowledge is 

 almost intuitive. From that mdment, if she be 

 jieisiiaded that she cannot reciprocate his senti- 

 ments, her course is plain before her — it is cool, 

 undeviating, unhesitating repulse on every occa- 

 sion, place and manner. Love will die without 

 hope. To crush love in the bud is easy ; but tri- 

 fle and tamper with it till it has taken root in the 

 heart, and its destruction is attended with the 

 extinctions of the heart's best and noblest. feelings. 

 Never forfeit this prime maxim in these mat- 

 ters ; " not to discourage is always to encourage." 

 Your choice, I will not, I would not bias. 

 But I had rather hear that you are engaged to a 

 man of good character and industrious habits, than 

 to the wealthiest man without them: for in this 

 country, these are always a sure pledge of final 

 success. 



A mean and culpable species of coquetry, is the 

 practice of not giving decided encouragement, or 

 repulse with a view of keeping you a slave tdl 

 you have learned to use the cant phrase, you can- 

 not do better. I know not ati expression that 

 betrays more (lesj;icacle meanness. She who uses 

 it, shows a willingness to sell her hand — to trafic 

 her person for value received, that is revolting in 

 the highest degree. 



No one, not even a parent, can tell what char- 

 acter will render any lady happy, but herself — 

 on herself, on herself alone then, must and ought 

 to rest the res])onsibility of her choice. I have 

 seen so many marriages, commenced with all the 

 glitter of wealth and pomp, terminate in misery 

 and broken hearts ; and so many that were begun 

 with no very promising aus|iices, which have 

 proved as happy as human life admits, that I am 

 convinced that the parent who officially uiterposes, 

 stands answerable to God, his child, and his con- 

 science, in a degree of responsiblcness most fear- 

 ful and trcmetidous. 



Ladies too often attempt to gain husbands, as 

 anglers catch fish — by drawing the bait as he 

 approaches it, till he is impelled to grasp at every 

 hazard ; but she who angles for a husband, may 

 find too late, that she has gained the man at the 

 expense of the husband's confidence in her prin- 

 ciples and heart. 



LvFLCENCE OF WoMAN. — Capt. MaiTyatt in his 

 new and popular Stories of the Sea, says — "Man 

 is but a rough pebble without the attrition receiv- 

 ed from contact with the other sex ; it is wonder- 

 ful how the ladies pumice a man down into a 

 smoothness, which occasions him to roll over and 

 over with the rest of his species, jostling, but not 

 wounding his neighbors, as the waves of circum- 

 stances bring him into collision with them." 



A lady asked a person who had applied for the 

 place of a footman in her family, if he coidd whis- 

 tle. " Why is that necessary ?" said the man. 

 "Because," said the lady, "I expect my footman 

 to whistle all the time he i.? in the cellar, to be 

 certain he is not drinking while he is there." 



At a celebration of the anniversary of a British 

 Farming Society, some years ago, a clergyman, 

 who was a member, read a very pleasant essay to 

 prove that the best animal, that could be brought 

 upon a farm, was — a good wife. 



Remarkable. — "John Park, a seaman," 

 Sir John Ross, "being asked by me. What was 

 most remarkable event in his life?" he answi 

 that he had shaved the Duke of Devonshire 

 gale on board the Glasgow. I then asked, ' W 

 you not on board her at the battle of Navarii 

 He replied, ' Oh yes, but that was nothing.'" 



A man in Ohio, well mounted, urging forvi 

 a drove of hogs towards Detroit, met a charn 

 lot of little girls as they were returning fi 

 school, when one of them, as she passed the " sv 

 isli mullitiide," niaile a very pretty courtesj 

 " What, my little girl," said he, "do you couri 

 to a whole drove of hogs.'" "No, sir," said i 

 " only to the one on horseback." — Detroit 1
