" Come to my bosom, my bonnie wee thing;
Dome in your beauty like flowers o. the spring
Gentle and lightsome, like bird i the air,
Winsome and gleesome, and blooming sac fair.
Come like the rainbow o'er arching the sky;
Come like the sunshine to gladden. mine eye;
Come to my arms, Jennie, sweetest and dearest
Come to my heart where thout ever be nearest
Come like the rosebud "a dripping wi dew,
WI your breathing sac fresh, and your spirit sac
true;
Come like the summer stream, dancing in glee
Come like the siller moon DER the sea-
Oh, come frae the town, let US ramble together
Where layerocks build in the dark purple heath'r.
Come to my arms, Jennie, sweetest and dearest,
Come to the heart where thou'lt ever be nearest.'

q" Great age" this we live in. People
don't laugh now-a-days-they indulge i'll
merriment. They don't walk--they pro-
menade. They never eat their food
they masticate it. Nobody has tooth
pulled-it is extracted. No one has his
feelings hurt--they are lacerated. Young
men do not go courting the girls--they
pay the y0,mg iaCtieS attentions. 1t Is
vulgar to visit any one-yOu must only
make a call. OF course You would not
think of going to bed-you would retire
to rest. Nor wculd you build house
YOU would erect it.

AFFECTED DEAFNESS,

A stranger dismounted at the door of the
Hotel, and gave his horse to the Off
cious waiter. The bar-keeper opened the
register to take his name.
. ou are right" said he, single
room would be more agreeable" and he
walked into the supper-room to which
the crowd Of boarders were passing. The
bar-keeper ran after him, screaming in
his ear
What name did YOU say -
Thank yOu," said he :" can find the
way; don't put yourself to any trouble. .
On his return TO the bar-room, waiter
took up his saddle-bags, and told the deaf
stranger he would show him to his cham
Der.
My friend, who will spend the even
ing with me prefers plain cherry,
said he. " You may send up bottle.
and 4 few cigars
Il did not said the bar-keeper, ex-
actly understand your name"
Il think.a little ice would improve the
Wine" was the answer. "And now |
think of it, you may put the bottle in
wine-cooler." His friend now Joined him,
and they walked to his room together.
The deaf lodger patronized the house to
the extent of another bottle before he
slept. The waiter who brought it up,
yentured once more to inquire his name.
Nothing more" said he except slice
of cold ham, a pickle, and little bread
and cheese" The next morning after
breakfast when the strangers horse was
at the door, he asked for his bill. He
was told that it was SIX dollars and three
quarters.
You are very kind, had expected to
pay you; but if this is your custom, to
charge nothing for the first visit, YOU shall
not lose by it-all my friends in Sponge
vile will certainly give you at least one
call when they come into this city-good
morning."
Il would thank YOU to pay your bill
before YOU GO screamed the bar-keeper
Il am obliged TO you," said the deaf
gentleman. | can put them on = and
he took up his saddle-bags and departed.
As he mourted, the bystanders began to
laugh immoderatelv at the awkward en-
barrassment which afflicted the bar-keeper,
who was i'll despair, while he bawled after
the delinquent who continued bowing, and
repeating his assurances, that he would
certainly remember the accommodations
civilitv, and liberalitv of the house, and
recommend it to all his friends who might
pass through the city. The gentleman
who SO well affected deafness won the
wager he had staked on the success of his
scheme, and paid his bill the next time he
visited The city.
