1t is a very curious fact, that black

BY the way, the very best tooth pow

better try it.
ORNAMENTAL LoyEL1NEss.-What
charms can lovely and innocent girl
borrow from other sources, that will
not be inferior to her native ones? Still
she will borrow, like the Roman in
Pliny, who painted white lilies and
white lambs Of diverse colors.
A LAMENr.-A New Orleans belle,
POLITICALLY describes the neglect of the
gentlemen Of that city to the ladies in
the following verses:
No more TO dance o. promenade,
Their thoashts incline,
They're busy in tho co,to., trade
And sugar line.
No more they PRICE our charms.
No longer wed;
They PRICE, alas,
Molasses in their stead.
LovE.-The beginning Of love is in
the power of every one; to put All end
to It, in the power Of none.
