TO HELi...ny ALBERTO,
Blue eyes-yes blue eyes for ever
lips froses--cheeks the same
And brows so bright thar SHOWS could
never
Tell but their hue from He'll came.
Not that her pure and beauteeus breast
Was framed in moulds SO cold and fro
zen
For sure in summers garb tits drest,
For summer smiles that heart was cho-
sen.
For o! 'tis pure as the rising day
And soft and sweet as setting even
Just like the last, last lingering ray
That lights the sainted soul to Heaven.

We perceive that those two celebrated
venders-oflottery tickets, Tyler of Wash
ing'on and Rnnnells of Alexandris, still
keep up the "keed encounter Of their

with satire, and pays back the keen and
cutting sarcasm ofthe "A7erehants' bank

must be confessed not with equal justice.
