ANIMAL PROPENSITIES.

Ii animals were to turn authors, the eagle would
excel in epic, and the sheep in pastoral poetry The
elephant would produce client treatise or
philosophy, the horse employ his genius on chival-
ry-the cow on agriculture; and the dog cut figure
IN the drama. The writings of the monkey would
abound ;a i: i: satire and burlesque; while the cat would
be distinguished for envy, and disengenuous-
ness of his compositions The style of the lion
would be bold, abrupt, and Pindaric; while the
gander would be remarkable for the extreme verbos-
ity and di'useness of his language. The badger
would probably attempt treatise the medical ef
feet of perfumes the turkey disquiston on the

itself in the composition of eleges, epitaphs and
solemn dirges; that ofthe bear in essay on waltz

literature but might favor the world with critical
analysis Oh the philosophy of Bacon. The peacock
would make excellent contributor to the lady a

Greenland fishery and the pigeon on letter carrying
The goose would make blue stocking of the frs,

The magpie would be notorious plagarist, cab

would not indulge much in written composition but
be fond of showing off public speaker For
composing political harangues, the ass would be
unrivalled.

be collected were drawn out before him in review

MAN AND WOMAN.

There is amoral deprayty, a coarse RIGHTEOUSNESS
in the nature of man, that is wholly foreign from the
female character and of which, nothing is stron-
ger proof than the unvarying constancy with which
women will adhere to the objects of their early at
tachments even after they excite nothing but disgust
in every other BOSOM Man, on the contrary is
seldom permanently attached but he can turn
aside and daily. through mere wantonness with any
wandering waf who may cross his path; and the
world only smiles at his folly. Woman shrinks with
intuitve dread from the lbertine glance, and it is
only from man, never from her own heart, that she

sui, and his scott, And no sooner docs she lose

The delusions of this feeling perhaps stronger
and more felicitous than those of any subsequent

THE DECLARATION.

THE DECLARATION.
The lady sat within her bower,
Where treiiss6d vines hung DER her,
With flashing eye and burning cheek
Down knelt her fond adoreri
He took her soft white hand. andin
Her bright eye fondly gazing,
Sought for look, to show that he
An equal fame was raising;
Yet still her eyes were turned away,
And a. his heart vaxed bolder,
And he devomed her lily hand,
The ladys look grew colder.
And then he swore by all the stars,
That in the sky were shining
BY all the verdant vines that DER
Her gentle bower were twining-
By mountains, valleys, seas and streams,
And by tha moon above her,
And every thing therein that eer
Sophi or saints discover
He never could know peace again
On earth, till he had won her;
Yet still she answered not the look
Oflove he cast upon her.
And then he swore, at her command,
To show his love, he would do
VIII. never mortals did before,
And none but lovers could do;
That he would climb upto the moon,
Or swim the ocean
Would dino one day at Sandy Hook,
And sup next night at Dover
Then jump from thence to London, and
Align, on ST Pauls steeple-
Then pull the premier's nose and make
O'Conncll damn the people.
Or that he would put armour on
And, like knight of yore, he
Would fight with giants castle scale,
And gain immortal glory
Then go and build kingdom up,
And be mighty winner
Bowstring the Sultan Mahmoud-and
His Tiuhey eat for dinner.
Then follow Lander's dismal track,
And ON the Myers banks
An empire Of the darlses found,
And merit Tappans thanks
rharder tasks she did demand,
He would reform the nation,
Make talent, honesty and worth.
Essential to high station
Make politicians tell the truth,
Give conscience to brokers,
And put upon the temperance list
An army Of old soakers-
Make lawyers "keep the peoples peace"
Physicians kill them cheaper
A cloud was on the lady's brow,
Which, as he spoke, grew deeper.
He swore she had the brightest eyos,
That ever locke on mortal;
And that their light was like the rays
That streams from heavens own portal
That by her cheek, the opening rose
Would look but dim and faded:
And darker than the ravens wing,
The hair her fair brow shaded;
That Venus by her lde would look
Acommen country dowdy;
She bl,,shed and smiled and then
Her brow again grew cloudy.
Up sprung the lover then, and said,
"Wil you be Mrs Popkins--
Miss Julia Jane Amelia Ann
Matilda Polly Hopkins
have house four stories high
Wen live in splendid style, and
A handsome country seat upon
Lake Georges sweetest island
Ten thousand eagles in the mint,
Bankshares, untold, percented"-
The lady bent her cheek to his,
Her gentle heart relented.
