"AH, sweet Kitty Neil! rise up from your wheel;
Your neat little foot will be weary from spinning;
Come trip down with me to the sycamore tree
Halfth parish is there, and the dance beginning.
The sun 10 gone down, but the full harvest moon
Shines sweely and cool on the de valley,
While all the air rings with the soft, loving things
Each little bird sings in the green shaded alley."
With blush and smile, Kitty rose up the while,
Her in the glass; she bound her hair, glancing;
Ills hard to refuse when young lover sues,
SO she couldn't but choose togo off to the dancing.
And now on the green the glad groups are seen,
Each gay hearted lad with the lass Of his choosing;
And Pat, without fail, leads out sweet Kitty Neil
somehow, when asked she ne'er thot Of refusing.
Now Felix Magee puts his pipes to his knee,
And, with flourish sets each couple In motion;
With cheer and bound, the lads patter the ground
The maids move around just like swans on the ocean.
Cheeks bright a. the rose-fcet light as the does
Search the world all from the sky to the ground
No such sight can be found Irish lass dancing!
Sweet Kate who could view your bright eyes Of deep
blue ny-
Beaming humidity through their dark lashes so mild.
Your fair turned arm, heavng breast, rounded form
Nor feel his heart warn, and his pulses throb wildly?
Poor Pat feels his heart, az he gazes, depart,
Subdued by the smart of such painful yet loves
The sight leaves his eyes he cries, with sigh,
"Dance light for my heart it lies under your feet,

THE ALBATROS3 AND PENGUIN.

LIE ALDAl hOoS AMI PENUllN
Wednesday, Feb. ll-Of Cape Horn.
The wind, a. we predicted, has gone
back to bis old quarter, like wolf to his
Jungle. We have only been able to hold
our own. Sunset leaves us where the
flushing day found US.
We have tho albatross still about us, but
we have missed the penguin. The habits
Of these birt ire peculiar, especially when
the get up their annual rookery. They
select for this purpose, as one informs me
who has been among them, plat Of smooth
ground, covering two or thrco acres, and
opening upon the sea. From this they re-
move the sharp pebbles, piling them on
each side into a miniature stone fence
The ground is then plotted off into little
squares, with paths intersecting each 9TH
er at right angles. In each corner Of the
square penguin scoops out nest; while
the albatross takes, by common consent,
the centre, raises small mound and con-
structs nest on the top, SO that each al
batross has four penguins around him.
The paths, which resemble gravelled walks,
are used for promenading and exercise, ex-
cept the broad one, which runs around the
whole encampment, and where sentries are
constantly patrolling. Those sentries give
the alarm at the approach Of danger, and
are relieved at regular intervals. The
witch is kept up night and day, and is al
ways under the command Of the albatross.
When the eggs have been laid, the strict
est vigilance is exercised by the albatross
to prevent the penguin from stealing them;
for the penguin lays but one egg, and, as
If ashamed Of making all this ado for the
sake Of that one, tries TO get another from
the nest OF the slbatross. But the latter
has no idea ofgra,ifying the domestic am
bition Of its neighbor in that way. There
is Of course little need among them Of
toundling hospital.
The eggs are never left or exposed to a
breath Of cold air during incubation. The
male bird, who has been at sea seeking his
repast, returns and takes the place Of bis
faithful consort. He allows her the most
favorable hours out of the twenty -four in
which to secure her food, and often brings
il to her, especially when her infant pro-
geny requires her more delicate maternal
attentions. He never i'll treats his mate,
or goes off at the dead Of night screnad;ng
other birds. He may have indeed his do
mestic troubles, but be overcomes them by
kindness and affection. His partner al
ways greets him on returning from his brief
excursion at sea with the lIveliest express
sion Of gladness.
When the little ones get sufficiently
strong to endure change Of element, the
penguins and albatross break up their en-
campment, and young and old take to the
sea, that great harvest field, where the reap
ers Of earth and air, under benefcent
Providence gather their food.

WEDDING DRESSES OF PRINcEssEs.-The
Paris correspondent oftbe St. Louis Repub.
lican furnishes the following particulars
concerning the wedding dresses Of three
Princesses, whose marriages are shortly te
take place. We copy for the qualification
Of our female readers:
Nothing is talked Of in the fashionable
world at present but the three splendid
marriages which have SO busted the mer-
chants, milliners, and mantua-makers, that
the police believed for little while that a
conspiracy was on the carpet. The brides
are, the cousin of the Princess Of Prussia,
tho cousin of the Princess of Saxony, and
the daughter Of an English Duke. The
whole trousseaa has been displayed for
some days past in the saloons Of Madame
Consta ntine, the fashionable marchanae de
modes. Tickets ofadmission were sold for
the benefit of the poor, and it is said that
quite large sum was realized.
The dresses are of course as splendid and
beautiful as French taste could make them.
That Of the Princess ofSaxony is Of white
watered silk, covered with the richest en-
broidcry, and trimmed with lace. The
Prussian Princess has dreas Of plain
white watered silk, aud an over-dress Of
rich point d'Angleterre; while the Dukes
daughter will surpass both in dress Of
white-wutered silk, embroidered in silver.
The bridal leaves are Of orange flowers and
white jessamine, perfumed to nature, and
so light and delicate that the support Of a
knot Of white ribbon, with long ends at
each side, is quite necessary. The wells
are Of point d'Angleterre, long and wide
enough to envelope the fair brides COM
pleteiy. There are several other head
dresses for dinners and soirces, formed OF
wrcaihs Of different flowers, so admirably
shaded and perfumcd, that it is difficult to
imagine them artificial. Ono Of the most
elegant Of the head dresses is diadem
made Of blue aud pink marabout feathers,
spangled with small silver stars. This is
entirely new, invented for the
occasion, and will no doubt be widely cop
led.

"And what are you going to do with that

ously into the merchants face and replied,

into tears. The merchant Immediately

became partner in the firm, one of the
most respectable in the city.--F1og Of our

STRANGE ADVENTURES OF BoY.--The
following, from the Boston Daily Mail, dis
plays one of the many sided phases Of life
which prove that sstruth is stranger than
iiction." We were shown letter yester-
day from California, bearing some very
agreeable information to a father. The
writer--son of the gentleman referred to-
was such an incorrigib!e bad boy, that the
parent had to ship him otto sea, in New
Bedford whaler, over eight years ago The
boy ran away from the ship in Tahiti, lived
with the natives year, then shipped in
another whaler, and one day while pursu-
ing whale, the boat was stove, and all
hands perished, as was supposed; but this
young chap hung by piece OF the boat
thirty hours, was picked up by Brazil
vessel, and finally got into SLAYER, and
eventually landed in San Francisco, about
the time Of the gold discovery. Went to
work, dug gold, eucceeded, and after every
body at home supposed he was dead and
gone. "turns up" with snug little fortune
Of $50, 900, and is coming home to enjoy
his money and experience.
The WANDERING JEw.--Tho story Of
the Wandering Jew is Of great antiquity,
and obtained full credit in England before
1928, as related BY Mathew Paris. Hewas
porter to Pontius Plate, and when they
were dragging our Savior out Of the Judg-
ment hall, he struck him with his fist on the
back. saving, "Go faster, Jesus, 60 faster,
why dost thou linger?' Our Savior frown-
ed on him, and said, 81 indeed am going,
but thou shalt tnrry till come" He lives
forever, but at the end Of every 100 years
falls into violent fit Of illness, out Of which
he RECEIVERS and turns to state Of youth.
