SELECT POETRY.
A C0URTING SONG.
By Miss LISLIE.

The parlors both are occupied, and every
other spot,
By couples who accounting seem-and yet
perhaps they're not;
There's some that court on taborcts, placed
lovingly together,
And lovingly they whisper low of fashion or
the weather;
Some court within the outer porch, and some
upon the stairs,
And many court on oliomans, and very few
OH chairs.
And openly, without disguise, is all this court
ing done,
No matter whether on it shines the gas light
or the sun;
And so desrous are they still the state of
things TO prove,
The more that visitors come in, the more they
will not move;
But there they sit and persevere, in spite of
hint aud glance
And people that OH business come, have very
little chance.
And some court at the checker-board while
olheIs court at chess,
Though chess-payels cannot be in love so
much as they profess.
There are some that at backgammon court,
half hid behind a column,
And some would even court at whist, were
not the game so solemn
There are some that promenade, as il they
never meant 10 stop,
And some that think it policy TO institute a
hop.
This cour,ing OF the young folks is pretty
sight to see,
But the courling of the married ones had bet
Ter never be;
Success 10 all whose hearts are fixed on OBJ
eciS risht and true
We wish, with them, that they could make
a shorter conrlship do;
I'm always glad when any friend invites me
Out To tea.
For 'ss very duh 10 stay a: home, with no
one courtins me.

The following prophecy is from rare old

THE following prophecy is from a rare old
printed book:
When Legislators bold invade
The laws which they themselves have
made;
Whenthe parson 'gainst the Bible breaches,
And modest virgins wear the breeches
When women scorn domestic cares
And bold iurude OH mems affairs, ..
Aspiring with mistaken pride
The warehouse of the world TO ride,
Then will wild chaos come again,
And Eve with her old serpent reign,
second time will pay the price
OF wit, lost by Paradise.
The world, tail foremost, will advance,
Like freedom in degenerate France;
By going backwards will come right,
Aud men grow blind by TOO much light.

A visit must be returned in like manner,
even though no intimacy is intended.
A smiling counlenance is pleasant, but ex-
cess of laughter should be avoided, espe-
cially when it is possible for any one 10 sup
pose himself derided by it.
Whispering in company is always ofen-
siye, and often for the reason that persons
present suspect that they are the subjects of it
