THE VERY AMIABLE MAN.--We would
almost as soon hear man called pretty
as amiable-and, Of all things we hate
in this world it is one Of those barber's-
bust men, which silly girls declare SO
pretty.
The "amia bic man" is one Of those non
committal, milk and water, characterless
beings, who is never out Of temper
He smiles at anything, and bears the
greatest troubles with an unruiiled
brow.
We think il may be set down as a
fixed rule, that the man who is never
out Of temper, but always wearing a
smile upon his face, is either knaye
or a fool The woman who never shows
the lovely sentiment If a blush, is not
one to be trusted over much; and the
man who cannot be reused TO oil honest
indignation, never need be tried as 4
friend, for he will smile, and be a
villain.
The man gifted with that finely or
gained nervous system, which always
accompanies genius, can no more be
what is called an amable man, than a
London Alderman can be Indifferent to
good feeding
The amiable boy OF family is mis-.

ticoats; but these anomalies will occur.
and they are not easily accounted for
either. We are By no means advocating
continued state of petulance and an

other way. With such people. it is
pretty much the same as the servan;
told his master when he gave him war
ming that he would not remain in his
service on account OF his temper. "My
temper" said his masier;'it's true am
quick, but am no.sooner in passion
ihan am out of it," "And no sooner
GU, OF i.,"remarked John,"than you are
in it again"
Your "amiable man" is capital fellow

By, always involves want Of proper
self-respect. Heaven preserve us from

And is it thus we part at last,
In GOODNESS and in scorn
Aud mu It take that pledge again,
Thy finger long hath worn z
All little dreamed when thy hand
Was warmly clasped in mine,-
Thy arm around me gently thrown,
Ny lips impressed OF thine
That thou wouldst ever term thy love
''The foolish pledge Of youths"
Forswear the VOWS yuu called OIL heaven
To witness of their truth
And canst thou boast and 'tiank thy stars
No lingering ''sigh of pain"
Pervades thy breast -taough severed wide
Is "lore's mysterious chatn?'
Then go thourt fathless--takc thy ring

A pledge OF falsehood who would trust,
A heart SO ceid as thine
Go, tickle SOUL pity thee
Thy loves no envious boon,
Like nights pale orb, it CLEANS awhile,
Then yanisbes in gloom! II b. III.

To Kate ". Ma.
It's morning and the summer air,

It's morning and the summer air,
Now kissing my pale check,
Breathes back the fragrance of rich thought
Lent to the zcypher sweet
And thoughts of thee, impulsive KATE,
Rise up within my soul,
And bid me pray that thy young heart
May give to God the tcho!c.
For, oh the depth of love, sweet KATE,
That wells within thy breast,
Should seek its native soil alone,
And on the Saviour rest
For thoughts poets pc might claim
Lay hid in thy hearts mine !;
And fame around thy youthful brow
Her laurel wreath may Irvine.
But, oh amid fame's proudest hall
The weary heart may lie,
And ask in vain the wished-for boon
To be forgot-and die /! !
For, KATIE dear, euth'S gifted souls
Are bm her stricken ones,
Whose lite stream, turned by SORROWS hand,
Through troubles channel runs.
The strain that thrills your Utmost soul
With high emotions pure,
Is but the sigh of anguish deep,
That Heaven alone can cure.
And, KATIE, if your heart be light,
As evenings silver fringe,
Oh, let the Son of Righteousness
Thy morn with beauty tinge!
For, KATE, there is, pcrchance, awork
For you and I TO do;
A work of love--a blessed work
For gifted ones like yo1:
And deem me not fatterer
When you gifted call:
For, oh! believe, a happy hearts
The richest gift Of all
For by your ever-smiling face
The shadows cannot stay;
No frown can gather DER the brow
That owns thy magic sway:
Then, KATIE, use this precious gift,
Nor let it lie and rust
Let duty guard the jewel wen
70 keep it from the dust.
And, KATE, sigh not for other joys
The world to thee is fair
You and yourself on friendly terms
Its purest gifts may share u:
May youths bright harvest Ger to you
Rich happiness beget
And, KATE, accept this simple lay,
