PUNCH,s POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE.

PUNCH,S POETRY FOR THE PEOPLE,
SENTIMENTAL.
With all my soul loved a lass,
And she was blithe and merry;
Her face was like looking-glass,
Her chin was like cherry.
In short-I asked her for her hand
(And thought of all the tender ties
That would be rent asnnderO
She rubbed her eyes: in great surprise
Said, "YoU NAY JUST GO TO THUNDER"

Some of our political papers, harping on
the dangerous spread of Catholicism, ennu-
merates the increase of schools and collie
ges got up by Catholics in different parts
of the country. If educating our people
is the weapon the Catholics are using, we
care not how vigorously they spread them
selves.

Through philosophy we have this advan-
tage--to be astonished at nothing; for
wonder partakes of ignorance, or arises
from doubt; both of which are removed by
the knowledge of the natural conditions,
and by an examination into the properties
of every thing.

A young Frenchman in Cincinnati
recently became enamoured of another

passion, and consented to an elopement,
first taking all her husbands money, with
the exception of two cents. She left him,

JUDGING FROM APPEARANCES "A good
story is told by Yankee editor, in illus
tration of the folly of Judging from aP-
pearances. A person dressed in suit of
homespun clothes, stepped into house in
Boston on some business, where several
ladies were assembled in an inner room.
One of the company remarked, in low
tone that countryman was IN waiting,
and agreed to have some fun. The follow
ing dialogue ensued:
"You're from the country, suppose?"
"Yes, Pm from the country"
"Well, whatdo you think of the city?'
"It's got tarnal sight of houses in it."
81 expect there are great many ladies
where you come FROM"
ooh, yes, cords on 'em--jist for all the
world like them," pointing to the ladies'.
Sand you are quite beau among them
no doubt"
"Yes, beaus 'em to meetin about"
"Maybe the gentleman will take glass
Of wine," said one of the company.
Thankee--don't care if do"
"But you must drink toast"
81 eats toasts what aunt Debby makes
but as 10 drinkin', never seed the like
What was the surprise Of the compa
ny to hear the stranger speak clearly a.
follows:
Ladies and Gentlemen: Permit me t.
wish you health and happiness, with every
other blessing that the world can afford
and advise you to bear in mind that We
are often deceived by appearances. Yol
mistook me, by my dress, for country boo
by; |, from the same cause, thought these
men were gentlemen. The deception il

On Eating.-Never eat, excep you
have something to eat, and then let it be
as light as possible.
Never eat stufing with roast turkey. it
is decidedly vulgar, and shows you are
hungry.
Chaw your soup, and swallow your
roast beef, you will save your teeth, and
improve your digestion.
Tripe smothered in onions, is bore, so
is liver smoked, and salt mackerel. Such
things are to be eaten at home, when you
cannot eat a dinner elsewhere.
A boiled Turkey with oyster sauce is
not to be sneezed at. There should never
be less than dozen oysters to plate, a
any rate take that number yourself wheth
err your neighbor has any or not. This o
course is intended as advice when you dine
out.
Never converse while eating, so Lore
Galeston says in Paul Clifford, and b
! knew.

A Romance Spoiled.

Der Deutsche Schnelipost. the ably
conducted German paper published 10 this
city, spolls most romantic story which
mas been travelling the rounds of The press,
respecting beautiful young factory girl
from Maine, who went to Mexico as an
operative, but who it was said is now the
vile OF Gen. Herrera, the revoI.ed Pre-
SIdent of that Republic and we believe
some of the papers went so far as to ina.
glne the "poor factory girl revelling in the
Halls OF the Montezumas." 1t turns out
that Miss Irene Nichols, the young lady
referred to, did go to Mexico to work in a
factory there, and that she attracted the
attentions of gentleman to whom, on her
return to this city, she was married by
proxy. That gentleman is, unfortunately
Tor the romance of the affair, no General,
but worthy German named Hanschild, a
6ook-keeper in an extensive German mer-
camille house in Durango. We hope the
extraordinary air of romance which has
been given to this very ordinary proceed
ing, has not so excited the factory girls oil
Lowell as to induce large emigration to
Mexico, that land SO fruitful in Generals
and Colonies, as we are we'll convinced
that the girls, even should they catch some
of these high officials, would get much the
worst of the bargain.
We will add that the gentleman who
acted as proxy here for the happy husband
is German physician of this city, eminent
for his medical skill and attainments AMI
highly esteemed by very large circle O.

complete state of insensibility.
At half past one o'clock, all the Doctors
above named being present, DR.. Bodinier
performed the operation, which lasted a.
bout three minutes, during which the girl
did not show the least sensibility; nor could
the least contraction be seen on her. face,
or any part.of her body: she wasvhxactlyh
like corpse. All being comalsted. the,
| girl was left asleep for two hours longer,
and then, in presence of five or six.of the
aforementioned Doctors. she was, in lass
than three minutes, awakened from the
most profound sleep.
When she was first asked how she felt,
she said she was tired of having remained
so long IN the same position, but she Seems
ed to be unconscious of what had taken
place unit. she was shown the tuInor which
had been extracted, & which was about the
size of pullet's egg. Il was some min
ute or two before che began to feel the.
itching Of the wound. She was perfectly
well, excep. exhibiting a state of leeble~
ness produced by the loss of blood. We
are told that. since this time, she has been
without pain from the wound.
We understand that DR.. Bodinier is
young surgeon who arrived here three
months ago from Paris, brings with him
the highest credentials from the most en-
inent professional men in France.
