 Who all the world said, had cash plenty; ty|''' But not, dearest madam you'll please understand, Twas not for that reason, us know, The ladies, you know, in the whole world, Never think, In such matters, of rhino Sir Anthony's whiskers were large, and 60 black, And his hair lay in such pretty ringlets, And they nestled abound his classical brow, And tangled poor loves purple winglets. Sir Anthony's eyes were as soft and as blue; ,l His voice, like the winds, when they mingls Their murmurs at eve, in the bosom of June, He wore on his finger single .. Gold ring, with a stone of remarkable cost: His waist was as small as lady's; And his cheek was as soft and as clear and as warm As the cheek ot young girl of Cadiz. His feet were as small as boys of sixteen, And he tFod the old earth with such hGuleur, No wonder, Miss Agathas suitors all fed
 In despair, when Sir Anthony sought her. Sir Anthony rode and Sir Anthony sung, Sir Anthony played very finely, Sir Anthony danced hke roe in the spring, And lolled on sofa diyinely: Miss Agatha asked her Pa and her Ma, Ere the flowers of May should be wilted,
 The frock and the cake Were done, and the comforter quilted. Sir Anthony sat one evening at tea, Mud With noli Re E0ngere phiZ on. ta When fellow looked In, in search of a man, Who had broke from the Windsor States Prison. Sir Anthony ate, and Sir Anthony frowned, But the fellow grew saacy and bolder, Walked up to his side, with how are you my bird,' And laid his broad hand on his shoulder. Sir Anthony looked at the man with stare, And called on the landlord to take him Away. Then ordered his servant. black Sam, To collar the scoundrel and shake him. But the fellow just gave Sir Anthony's curls, A twiich with his thumb and fore-6neer. But, ye Gods! a cropped ear and bald pate. that
 shone Like ice where winter moons finger. So they marched Sir Anthony of to his home, With a face that could not be painted; Poor Agatha's Pa, and Agafha's Ma,
 One swore, and the other she fainted. The neighbors all grnned, and the talk 1.-the town, Was the source of extremely great pain. oh!

THE SNOW BIRD
They talk Of the beautiful birds that sing
In the sunny time Of the opening spring;
When the air is fragrant, and sweet and balm,
And the blue sky above us uncIouded and calm;
When the streamlets are leaping the meadows
along,n
With sound like the gush Of a childish song
And the leafy boughs Of the forest trees,
Are gently swayedby the pleasant breeze.
Bat though blithely they chirup, and charmingly
sing,
call them all selfsh--these songsters offspring
They desert us when clouds dim the blue of the sky,
And afar from our dwellings all huriedly fly;
All intent on their pleasure hushng their song
When most for its beauty and gladness we long,
No--theyre fairweather friends, and are not to me
So dear as the snow bird in winter we see;
He's plain little creature-with plumage Of gray,
Just fit for a snowy, and clustering day;
"ris good sober color, and meet for bird,
That's not giddy, nor selfish, nor easily stirred;
But who greets us more mrthfal, and happy, and
gay,
The darker the heavens, the colder the day.
Oh! he seems so contented and happy the while
As he sits right erect on the top Of the stile-
And gratefully cbirps as he watches the snow
Fall noiselessly down on the gass plot below;
There's something so meek in the glance OF his eye
As the keen wind comes sweeping right bitingly by
That he seems like the the Christian who moves
among men,
Who Observation-Disclosures eviles not again
But meets with a brow calm and open as day
The blasts Of misfortune that sweep Ger his way;
or all tie bright d~ellers in bower or in tree,
The blithe little snow bird, seems fairest to me.
