THE Mp.

Written on seeing Lady with Fashionable Pr
wbercace- Selected from the Richmond Enqu
rer, by Young Ladyl
Melolious sisters gracious Nine
O'er me thy inspiration fling,
Since FAR too blcst fate smnc;
The beauties of the Hum to sing.
The Hump = what crowjing thoughts arise;
What forms Of beauty greet nine eyes;
What bags Of bran or feathers, fulI,
And some pcgchance too, stuffed with wool,
Before my dazzled vision came,
Al thy inspiring, lovely name!
In ancient lore, we find no mention
or this most beautiful invention;
And hence conclude, what Homer tells
OF Helen and the Greci1n bellies,
Is mere fb for who pray,
In this gallant, enlightened day,
Would wage tedious, ten years war,
For any belle he ever saw,
If the fair dame should chance 10 lack,
A iIgmp Of Beauty ON her back
Poor Venus claims our iast compassion,
For thougl with her none dared TO vie,
Yet in her day, twas not the fashion,
hump upon The back to tie.
The Gracos, too, were pretty creatures
Wi1hIIiy skin and comey features,
With swan Ike limbs, round and pump,
Yet what Of these thcyhad no Hump.
When Nature first produced the fair,
'Monr other things, il was her care
As the fair form, IN beauty grew,
To shape their back both straight and true;
Except indeed, when in whim,
Some incouth dwarf or monster grim,
She favors with a sweed sack,
Perch'd high IN honor on the back
But in these days Of Wondrous light
Taste rises in ber power and might,
And disappearing Natures plan,
She forms bag of wool Or bran,
And where she thinks the Hump should be,
Straight IN tint place o Hump yol'l see
The names with which the Humps abound
Are full Of sense as wen as sound;
Nothing more dignided I'm sure,
Than Bishop, BastIe, Tourncur!
And if some sour, Old fashioned dame,
Should tartly ask, what's in a name
We'd answcr-that cannot scan,
But ma am, the thing Is full Of bran
Now listen to me Lady dear,
A word I'd whisper in your ear
WHY be 60 partial 70 one spot--
Why Hump one place, and others not
If in Hump, such beauty lies,
As a true friend, Id you advise,
To raise Hump in every place,
And then you'd be all over grace
Then if we beauties. wish to find,
We need not always look behind II!

THE WEARY WATCHER.


BY T. II. EAYLEY.
It's not the hour her lover named,
Yet She already deems him late,
And polts her lip as ii ashamed
That moTla! man should make her wait.
She counts the minutes Ger and DER,
Yet seems unconscious Of their flight;
And she will watch the path no mere
Where FIRST his form viii be in sight.
And were she summoned hy his voice,
She would not turn ner head to greet him;
Come when De NAV, she viii rejoice
To show how co.diy she can inset hm,
She win not fown, for truwns would say
That she hld watched for his return;
She will not m.Ie--it would betay
She saw him not with unconcGIn.
OH should he ever come, no trace
Of weak emotion shall appear;
She' seem, while gazing on'hls face,
Unconscious that lie siaudS SO near.
No blush shall mantle on her cheek,
No tear shah tremble in her eye
TO some young stranger she will speak,
And seem engrossed BY his reply
And thinking thus, She proudly leans
Against the marble bullustmde;
Come when he may, SHE never meass
To raise her eyes, or turn her head
Lady, most beautiful thou AIT,
Aud pride becomes thee mid the crowd;
But oh with him who wins thy heart
Thou'rt l0nd-weak-any thing but proud
Resentment when he leaves her side,
Betrays the depth Of woman's love;
And when She prattles of her pride,
What but her weakness doth she prove,
Why starts she now' why turns her head
With such a glance of gay delight
Alas forgetting all she said,
She SIN les the moment he's in sight
The weary watcher can command
No word 20 wound, 40 ir0wn 20 chill;
The silent pressure Of his hand,
Assures HIM lie IS welcome still.
