To Eliza with Dove.
Accept, sweet maid, the most delightful Dove
That ever Venus to her chariot bound

For meeknrss valued and for faith renowned.
A bird in which such rare projections meet
Alone is worthy to be counted time
HIS beauty. alr one, is like yours, complete,

This would seem to be shade too much for
the obsinacy of the "maid" but Yankee girls
are not usually won with doves,-those who
live IN Lincoln, at any rate To them a hen
is pitch above doves, and goose the practi-
cal realization of symbolism. So Eliza ex-
changes Tor swaps as tollows:-
To Julius with Goose.
Swain accept your al accom- shed Dove
With rapture listen to its panuvc moan,
And vow " lth cuusinncy the bird To love
Whose beauty thus remind me OF my own"
cannot show my gratitude too soon.
For such mark ct tenderness conferred,

Kindness for kindness, lSwaln,l and bird for bird
Lo the best bird that Lincoln can produce
My choice has singled from n tuurtu group;
Accept from me, sweet Bard as great goose
As e'rr was ittrned IN poutrers coop.
Your verse the merits OF the dove displays -
The compliments pay my bird are few;
Yet us, mrtllrk no nlgGard share OF praise
To say hotr strongly II resembles YOU

The"latcst advccs" from the infected dis

1t seems to be quite likely, too, that there is
a great deal Of unpublished poetry in this
State, and tmay be worth his while for Mr.
SAKE to look to his aurels.
- Speaking of nothing, reminds me OF
an incident that is worth recording. Judge
h, who is well known for his eccentric
tiles, was allowed by an act of the Legislature,
about 80 years ago, some S22, for services to
the State, in his judgment,a great deal more
valuable. He indignantly refused to accept
the allowance, cmphatically declaring that he
would never receive cent of it till he could
make up his mind that he ,ras as mean as the Le-
gislniure Stree the commencement of the
present session, he visited the Capitol and ap-
prsed the Auditor of Accounts and the Com
mittee on Claims, that he had sufficiently deprc-
ciate in his orn esteem to accept the principal,
but remaincl wholly above asking cent of in
terest, which amounts to more than the orgina
sum! The Committee promptly gave him an
order, for the S22, and the Judge released the
interest amounting to about $50 leaving the
seat Of Government under the conviction that
the Legislature is nearly 100 per cent mca,er
by arlthmetcal demonstration, then it was 30
years ago!
