The following poem is an old one, and the young lady is pretty level headed, don't you think so?: He Won't Do For Me. I've told him quite plainly he won't

I've made up my mind, and be freely (
may go. Pray, why should I marry a man for
his gold, Whose life is declining, enfeebled,
and old? Oh, no! I would rather be single for
life Than be for a moment an old
dotard's,wife. They tell me he's noble, and boasts
of his name, His family connection, his wealth,
and his fame, But I can see nothing to boast of at
all— A smile from dear Harry surpasses
them all. I marvel that parents should have no
more thought Than hold up their daughters as
things to be bought; A girl of nineteen with a man sixty-two!— 'Tis really astonishing what avarice
can do! But I've told him quite plainly he
won't do for me, The wife of an old man I've no wish
to be; He thinks that his riches may tempt
me, but no— I've made up my mind, and he freely
may go.
The most important war news of the week was the fall of Fort Fisher. The account of it is as follows:
"The capture of Fort Fisher, North Carolina, by the Union forces has been officially announced by both the War and Navy Departments. An assault by the land forces aided by a battalion of marines and sailors was commenced on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock, and by eleven o'clock that night the Union army had obtained full possession of Fort Fisher, and according to the latest official accounts captured seventy-two guns and 2500 prisoners, inT eluding General Whiting and Col. Lamb, the commandant of the fort, both wounded. Many of the guns are injured. The fighting is represented to have been of the most desperate character, and it was foot by foot that the works were carried by the Union infantry. No estimate of the Union casualties is given, but the loss is said to be severe. General Curtis and Colonels Peenebaker and Bell, the commanders of the three leading brigades in the attack, j were wounded.
