MAY MORNING.
BY MILTON.
NOW the bright morning Bar, day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from the eatt, and leads with her
The flower, May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow co vdip and the pale primrose.
Hail, bounteous May, that doll inspire,
Mirth, and youth, and warm detire !
Woods and groves are of thy drefling,
Hill and dale doth bond thy hlcffing.
Tons we dilute thee with our early song,
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.
From the Balance.
Song for the Ladies.
THE MAID WITH ELBOWS BARE.
LET tasteless lovers citaunt their lays,
To please the modest ftll-drels'd fair ;
The talk remains tor me, ttfprade
The charming maid with elbows bare.
Her ruddy cheek, her sparkling eyes,
Her coral lips, her jett, hair;
All, are the channs, I highly prize,
But not so much as eloows bare.
The unveil'd bosom—neck oi snow—
May tempt the ill-bred clown to flare ;
But ti, fl rate beaux, with difference bow
Before the maid with elbows bare.
Some ladies (hew the ancle's sh pe,
A faliion, too, not very rare;
Others expose a pretty nape ;
But mine's the maid with elbows bare.
Let her, in that loose fluvio, robe,
Which Haunts and fl irters in the air;
Reflect, a heart she ne'er w 11 probe,
Unless (he leaves her elbows bare.
When winter (forms are drear and cold,
And keenly blows the northern air ;
When muffs and furs the limbs enfold,
Still trips my maid with elbows bare.
When Summer's scorching heats prevail,
And veils shut out the Sun's bright glare;
Still, (till my maid will never foil
To go with graceful elbows bare.
In winter, summer, fall or spring—
In weather either foul or fair—
In day or night—the charms 1 sing
Os my sweet maid with elbows bare.
Simper.
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.
Some time ago a woman presented at a pawn
broker's office, in Hoare's lane, in Cork, a bundle
of cloths as a pledge, demanding at the fame time
to be informed of the sum which the pawnbroke
would lend. After a proper infpettion of the
contents of the bundle, she was aufwered that
eighteen (hillings was the highest sum that could
be advanced on the goods ; but as the woman lee
med to consider the sum to be inadequate to her
wants, she repacked her bundle with great care in
the presence of the clerk and withdrew to the door.
In a few seconds she returned and laid she had
changed her mind and would accept of the sum o
sered her, 1 ying at the fame time, a bundle on the
counter. Sie accordingly re eived the money
anti went away. The clerk took up the bundle
to convey it up flairs to the (lore romn,& had pro
ceeded part the way, when he perceived fomenting
to move in the bundle, a circumstance which
capfed him to re-examine what he thought he had
before infpefted with fufficient accuracy ; and
upon opening the outside folds of the bundle, his
altomfhment on perceiving a fine bov may be
eaber conceived than expressed. The woman had
prepared two bundles exactly alike, and by the
dextrous fublhtution of the ore for the othtf,
flie contrived to impose the infant on the clerk -
It should be (fated, with the credit it deserves,
that t e pawnbroker having had rhe child christen
ed, and called Bundle Bay, provided ir w^h pm.
per cloths and amuse, and has exercised the most
attentive humanity to the little orphan.
IN a late Baltimore paper, among a number o'
applicants for the office of Sheriff for the county of
Baltimore, we observe one with the v,rv appro
priate name of TkA p'mjLL. If a good name is a
recommendation for office in that cetnp, this
gentleman is certainly entitled to the fuffiages of
hi- fellow citizens.
