Miss Emily Agatha Augusta Jane,
A spruce little girl, about twenty
Fell in love with Sir Anthony Alfred De Lanc'
Who, all the world said, had cash plenty;
But not, dearest madam, you'll please understand
Twas not for that reason, as know
The ladies', you know, in the whole world
Never think, in such matters, OF rh'no!
Sir Antbony's whiskers were large, and so black
And his h.tr lay in such pretty rngle'''
And they nestled around his classical brow,
And tangled poor loves purple wioSlets.
Sir Anthony's eyes We're as soft and as blue;
Els vcic., like the winds. when they m!rs!c
Their :nurmurs at eve, in the bosom of June,
Ee wore Oh his finger single
Gold ring. with a stone Of remarkable cost;
His waist was as small IS isdys;
And his cheek was as son AID as clear and as warm
As the cheek Of a young girl Of Cadiz
His feet were as small rs boys of s,Stcon
And he trod the old earth with such has'srr,
No wonder, Miss Agatha's suito.s all fled
In despair, when ST Anthony sought her.
Sir Anthony rode and Sir Anthony sung,
Sir Anthony played very finely,
Sir Anthony danced ike roe in the spring,
And lollsd on sofa divinely,
Miss Agatha asked her Pa and her Ma,
Ero the flowers of May should be wil:od,
The wedding should be,
The frock End the cake
Were done, and the comforter quilted.
Sir Anthony sat one evening at tea,
With nol me tangcre qhiz on,
When fellow looked il, in search Of man,
Who had broke from tho Windsor States Prison,
Sir Anthony ate, enc Sir Anthony ffowned,
But the fellow grew saucy and boldcr,
Waks5 uo TO his side, with how are you my bird,'
And l,id his broad hand On his shoulder
Sir Anthony looked at the man with stare'
And calod on tic landlord 10 take him
Away. Then ordered his servant, black Sam,
To cellar tho sccundrcl and shake him.
Bu. tho fellow Just gave Sir Anthory's cur!s,

Bu., ye Gods cropped esr and bald pate that

So thcv marched Sir Anthcny of to his home,
With face that could not be painted;

Was the source of extremely great pain, OH

 The City Charter is certainly defective in several points, but in more so, than the distinction It creates among citizens in the exercise of the right of suffrage At the last session of the legislature, bill was introduced by our Senator, Gen. Toulmin, to eaualize that privilege and allow all who could vots for the Mayor and Aldermen to vote for the Common Councilmen. This bill passed the Senate and was sent to the House of Representatives where under- stand, it was stopped by our delegation, Messrs. don it is said, put it in his "breeches pocket" and brought it home, for the glorifcation of his whig friends in the council. In this Mir. Langdon is not culpable his colleagues, for he is the City Prn- fer and the Common Council pays him liberally for his services.

Some of the whg and conseI vatiye papers are ex- tremey socious, lest idea should get abroad that the most perfect harmony does not exist between these two wings of the conederated spoilsmen Itis humbug, says the Mobile Adveltis It is all fudge and loco-foco trick, to divide and conquer, quoth the Madisonian. It is one of Bennet's lies, chorus the whole band.
 Now, it so happens that the story did not originate with Bennett and those who have read the unbrother ly chickering's between those two loving papers, the N. York Conservative Times and the N.
