BEN'S FORTUNE.
When Ben to see his sweetheart went
To win her love was his intent,
So to the girl he did relate
The whole amount of his estate.
I've twenty cows, besides a moole,
And thirty sheep to yield me wolh
I've fourteen geese, aud turkeys ten,
I've fifteen roosters aud one hen.
My cows, 1 know, to rate them cheap.
Are worth at least four of my sheep;
And every sheep is worth at least
Four of my turkeys or my geese.
Aud every goose is equal to
One of my roosters, love, 'tis true,
Aod every rooster, now, said Ben,
Is twice the price of my old hen;
And she at thirteen cents I rate-
Now tell the amount of my estate.
PLEASANT SIGHTS.
'Tis pleasant to view all nature's charms,
To Bee the farmers fill their baras,
With heaps ef luscious grain so rare,
The fruit of their industrial oare.
To see the cows upon the plaia
Eat and rest and eat again;
Or lambs alternate sport and feed,
Or colt dash off to try its speed.
What pleasant sights it is to see
The humming-bird, the honey bee,
With instinct rare and taste refined,
Chasing the flower on which to dine.
'Tis sweet to view the landscape o'er.
And with it view each shrub and flower:
Then view the radiaat sun no down,
Or rising spread his rays around.
O glorious vision! loveliness í
How shall I my thoughts express,
Of this which I forget tne while.
Dearer than all—a woman's Binile!
The new Militia is to be made
up of all citizens of the State, regard,
less of color, who will enlist under

purchase an exemption. Booly !
Now who wants to enlist ?
