From the Police Report of a Neao York Paper.
The boat from Albany landed on the pier,

and, OF course, new nothing of the vicious hab-

Some Folks.

BY THE PALE STUDENT.
Some folks are continually sighing,
And thinking of this and of that;
Some sending the poker flying,
Or kicking or pinching the cat :!
But such, we are happy TO say,
Is not the case with the wight
Who loves a newspaper by day,
And chats with the ladies at night.
When the mourning comes on he is gay,
And he carries smile OH his lips
Nor does he send beggar away
With curses more plenty than fps
He is one of the happy and few,
Who turn not away from the light,
For he reads the newspaper by day,
And chats with the ladies at nigh:
Away with your dark looking men,
Who hunt in their folly for wo--
Who turn with contempt and with hate
From all that is pleasing below
They sfageer Ike fools I'm the mine,
Apd curse in their pitiful plight;
For they read not the papers by day,
Nor chat with the ladies at night
o give me the man with head!
o give me the man with heart
The fellow that moves with his speech,
And pleases you well with his art.
o give me the fellow, say,
Whose tongue is source of delight,
For he reads the newspapers by day,
And chats with the ladies at night!

| A strange story.-Be,ween five and
six years ago the widowed mother of a
child named Annette, then between
eight aud nine years old whether from
want of maternal affection or from
inability to support her, took her out
at a distance from home and left her
at the entrance Of a passage in one Of
the streets of Paris, with promise to
returG, which she never performed.
Finding herself abandoned, the child by
tears and cries excited the pity of a
woman named Buat, who gained a
livelihood by lacemending, which she
taught her, and treating her with all
the care and affection of mother
Natural feelings, however, still dwelt in
the mind of the girl, and a short time
ago she discovered the address of her
mother, and wrote TO her, informing her
that she was well and happy, but care
fully refrained from giving the name of
her humane pro,ectress. The feelings
of :, parent however, were awakened
in the mother Of Annette, and she
became anxious 10 see her child again.
Under the advice of some friends she
consulted a somnambulist, who could
not tell her precisely where or with
whom Annette was living, but lie said
it was inthe neighbofhood of the Church
of Saint Roch. Byediut of presever-
ancs and the popularity Of Annette be-
ing marked in the face with what is
called dash of wine, the girl and the
abode of Nine. Buat was discovered and
the deserted child claimed. Annette,
however refused to leave her tried
friend, and the mother applied to a
commissary ofpolice, who, noIwithsian.
ding the strong reputation of the moth.
err by the child, vas sufficiently convinc-
ed of her identity and considering that
her age was too young TO give hel any
freedom OF choice, ordered her to sub.
nit to the legal authority Of her mother.
The parting of Annette from her
benetactor was most affecting TO all
wac witnessed it.
