A LOVE LETTER.

The following sweet moroccan.
which originally appeared in the New
York Union. is reported to have been
picked up in the Park. We insert it
as model worthy of the imitation of
the ''love-sick swain," whose situation
may be such:as to compsI him to con-
duct his courtship in writing:-
"DEAR SwEEr.-Oh, my love OF
love, clarified honey and oil of citron.
white loaf sugar ofmy hope, and mo-
lasses ofmy expe, tations! you have
been absent from me three whole days!
The sun is dark at mid-day-the moon
and stars are black when thou art
absent. Thy step is the music Of the
spheres! and the wind of thy gown,
when you pass BY, IS zephyr from
the garden Of paradise in the time of
early fiowers!' kissed you when we
last met, and my whole frame was
filled with sweetness! One of your
curls touched me on the nose, and that
organ was transmitted into loafsugar!
Oh, spice ofspices-garden OF delights!

any thing that yonr blessed finger hath

GIRLS BEWARE.

A late writer has forcibly amp tru
ly said, in reference TO the holy unior
of the sexes, that cit IS fearful sihgl
to see a youngsconfding girl, approach
the altar with one who loves to finger
round the wine-cup. He may pass
unscahed through The fiery ordeal, e.
the bright hopes of the bride may RI
pen into fruition. But, fair reader, let
not the splendors of wealth, nor the
allurements of pleasures, nor the pro-
missed triumphs of ambition, tempt
you TO a risk SO fraught with danger
to all you hold dear. Honest industry,
joined with temperance, may carve
fortune and all that ambition should
covet; but wealth talents, and fame
can never gid the drunkard's home,
nor soothe the sorrows of drunk
ards wife,"
