THE MODERN BELLE.
Extract from Mr.. Sark's Poem read at the late
Manchester, ~. H., Far.

The daughter sits in the parlor,
And rocks in her easy chair;
She's clad in her silks and satins,
And Jewels are in her hair
She winks and giggles and smpers,
And simpers and giggles and winks,
And though she talks but a little,
7Tis vastly more than she thinks.
Her father goes clad in his russet,
And ragged and scedy at that
His coats are all out at the elbow;
He wears a shocking bad hat,
He's boarding and saving his shillings,
SO carefully day by day,
While She on her beaux and poodles;
Is throwing them all away.
She lies a-bed in the morning.
Til nearly the hour of noon;
Then comes down swapping and snarling,
Because she was called so soon;
Her hair is still in the papers,
Her cheeks still dabbled with paint,
Remains of her last nights bushes,
Before she intended to faint.
She doatS upon men mshaven,
And men with ''the flowing hair"
Sle's eloquent over mustaches,
They give such foreign air.
She talks of Italian music.
And falls in love with the moon,
And tho but mouse should meet her,
She sinks away III a swoon.
Her feet are so very little.
Her hands are so very white,
Her jewels are so very heavy,
And her head so very light;
Her color is made of cosmetics,
Though this she will never own,
Her bodys made mostly Of cotton,
Her heart is made wholly OF stone.
She falls in love with a fellow,
Who swelis with foreign air,
He marries her for her money,
She marries him for his hair;
One of the very best matches
Both are well mated in life,
She's got fool for her husband,
He's got fool for his vile.

A DOMESTIC NEcEssrrY.-Every house
should have as an inmate good natured,
sensible, tidy old lady. This important
fixture should always be, if possible, a
Grand Mother, or, as next best, an Aunt J;
yet, so indispensable to respectability, COM
fort and convenience of well regulated
household is the old lady, that if this sys-
tern of housekeeping become general, it
will become quite natural to find under the
head Of Wants in newspapers, inquiries
for proper old ladies to supply the lack of
dear old folks gone to the better home. In
deed old ladies discovering themselves in
demand, would keep in preservation much
longer; nor begin to make winding sheets
and grave caps full ten years before the
great reaper came to gather in the shocks
of corn fully ripe, Old ladies are need
ed. Providence designed such to fill a
large space in the domestic circle "a class
remarkable as living not for themselves but
for others-the most beautiful specimens
of disinterested love on this side Heaven.
