Jenny is poor, and I am pour, Yet we will wed so say no more; And should the baimies to us come As few that wed but do have some No doubt but heaven will stand our friend. And bread, as well as children, send; So fares the hen in fanner's yard.' To live alone she finds it hard I've known her weary every claw In search of corn among the straw; Ifut when in quest of nicer food She clucks among her chirping brood; 'With joy we see the self-same hen, That scratched lor one, could scratch lbr ten. These arc the thoughts that make me willing To take my girl without a shilling, And for the self same cause, you see, Jenny's resolved to marry ine. PfiY ASOUGO. nr Austin c. iin.mcK.

'So: 'Why noti' 'O because! I cculdn't stop to make change. I have opened an account with Mr. Waldron, and shall hereafter settle once in three months.' , This conversation was going on at he table between Charles Matthews and his wife. Mat thews was a young mechanic who had just commenced housekeeping, and as be was making excellent wages, he could ailord to live pretty well. Afier he made known bis determined arrangements to his wife, she remained some time in silent thought. 'Charles,' sho at length said, in a very mild, jiersuasive tone, 'I think it would le better to jiay for things as you taKO ttiein. lou Know ymi receive your ay for your labor every Saturday night, and you could pay . s you go very easily.' i.i i '1 know 1 could, returned .Mr. Aiut- thews, with the air of n man who had unanswerable argument, at bis command; 'but then it would not be near as handy, l on see, it ljiay my store morning it would bo a dollar tomor-lil but once a quarter, I shall save row it would be jerhaps fifty cents all the trouble of making change;and and then, again, jierhajisonly tw enty-shall not only save time, but. also five cents.
